You perform the administration of ERP Connector for Microsoft Office Project Server 2003 in an ASP.NET page that is accessible only in the Admin center of Project Web Access. Figure 1 shows an example administration page for the HR module, for integration only with mySAP™ ERP Human Capital Management.

Figure 1 is only an example administration page. You can modify the administration page in the ERP Connector download to match the ERP Connector modules that you install. You can find the source code in the download subdirectory \Source\SAPConnectorAdmin.

Administration page for the HR module

Note  The administration page is available only to Project Server administrators because it is accessible only through the Admin center. For more information, see the Security section in the Architecture topic.

The administration page manages all settings in a central XML configuration file that is stored at a specified place in the Project Server computer. The location of the XML configuration file is set through a registry key on the server. Each ERP Connector module reads the XML file to get the settings. All of the modules create and use a common configuration class, as shown in Figure 2.

Configuration Fields for the HR Module

The ERP Connector administration page includes the following settings that apply to the HR module. For screen images and a complete description of the settings for all modules, see Using the Administration Page.

  • Logging level for all modules (levels 1 through 4).

  • Export folder for the results XML file of the Actual Export module.

  • Mapping for the project manager: Enterprise Project Text Field n.

  • Mapping for Plant ID: Enterprise Project Text Field n

  • Mapping for Order ID: Enterprise Project Text Field n and Enterprise Task Text Field n

  • Define default values for the following resource properties: Standard Rate (default 100) and Overtime Rate (default 120).

  • Specify whether the HR module activates a deactivated resource, or ignores the resource.

  • Specify whether the HR module deactivates a resource if the input data does not include the resource.

  • Formula for defining the resource e-mail address, for example, LastName.FirstName@example.com.

    Note  If the input data doesn't contain information about the e-mail address of the resource, ERP Connector can build a default value for the e-mail address using the formula, so that the HR module can compute a valid e-mail address.

  • Formula for defining the Windows account formula, for example, Exampledomain\FirstcharacterLastname.
