Setup and Configuration

The procedures described for setup and configuration of the ERP Connector solution starter assume that mySAP™ ERP and Microsoft Office Project Server 2003 run on separate servers, and that Project Server is set up in a single server environment. The main processes for setup and configuration are the following: install the components for mySAP ERP, install the Project Server components, configure the Service for Enterprise Data Maintenance (EDM), and edit the Enterprise Global template.

  1. System Requirements Verify that your software, including your development environment, meets the requirements for installation of the ERP Connector.
  2. Installing the Components for mySAP ERP Tools in mySAP ERP enable you to create the component framework you need. The solution starter download includes the source code you add to those components.
  3. Installing the Project Server Components You need to install the Project Data Service (PDS) extensions for Project Server, as well as the ERP Connector administration page for Project Web Access.
  4. Using the Service for EDM The ERP Connector relies on a shared directory specified for the Service for EDM in Project Server. You also have to adjust the SOAP call timeout and data size settings.
  5. Editing the Enterprise Global Template Before you use the ERP Connector, you have to configure the enterprise text and outline code fields in the Enterprise Global template.
