本ブログではSAP Master Data Integration（以下、「MDI））を初めて使われる方を対象にその他SAPアプリケーションとのデータ連携において必要な設定と手順について解説いたします。 本ブログでは私が実際にセットアップした時の手順をもとに注意しなければいけない点等を補足しながらまとめておりますのでMDIをセットアップする際に参考にしていただければ幸いです。 ２ MDIとは まずは今回の主役であるMDIとは一体どんなものなのか解説します。 SAP Business Technology Platform（以下、「BTP」）上で提供されるサービスで名前の通りデータの連携を担うサービスです。 後程触れますが、実際にMDIの機能を利用するためにはMaster Data Orchestration（以下、「MDO」）のサービスのSubscriptionも必要になります。 何のためにMDIが提供されているか、ですが下記の通りアプリケーション間で直接データを連携する「Point-to-point integration」ではなく、「Central integration point」としてMDIを中心に各アプリケーションに保管されているデータを連携することでMDIによる一貫したマスタデータの管理・データ管理における運用コスト削減を目的としたサービスです。BTP上で提供されるサービスですのでInstanceを作成し、このInstanceによって「Central integration point」を構成します。 図1：MDI Concept InstanceとMDIで保管されるデータの関係についてご説明いたします。下記図2はMDIのLandscapeのイメージ図ですが青枠のClientがMDI Instance、緑枠のTenantがBTP Subaccountに該当します。MDIではデータはClient単位ではなく、Tenant単位で管理されます。例えば下記図2のClient1にてデータ変更が発生した場合は同じTenantに属するClient2とClient3にデータが連携され、異なるTenantに属するClient 4-6には反映されません。 図2：MDI Landscape 共有されるのであればなぜわざわざClient（MDI Instance）が複数存在するのでしょうか。それはClientと連携先のシステムが1:1の構成でMDI Instanceを用意する必要があるからです。下記図3はSAP Success Factors、S/4 HANA On Premise、S/4 HANA Cloudと連携する場合に必要なMDI Instanceのイメージ図です。連携するシステムは合計3つですのでMDI Instanceは3つ必要です。後述の設定手順の中でも触れますが各Instanceのパラメータの中で連携先となるシステムのBusiness Systemを設定します。この値によって連携先との関係を紐づかせるイメージです。さらに各Instanceでは書き込み権限などの権限設定が可能です。 図3：MDI インスタンス ３ 制約事項 MDIの設定手順に入る前にBTP環境について確認しなければいけない点について共有いたします。 下記の条件を満たしているか確認してください。 [Global Account] Cloud Foundry環境のGlobal Accountである。 [Subaccount] SubaccountのRegionは下記のいずれかである。....

こんにちは。今回のSAP探検記では、SAP Build Process AutomationのワークフローをMicrosoft Office Outlookから起動し、なんちゃってイベント駆動ワークフローを実装してみた内容をお伝えします。間違い等あればコメントでご指摘ください。 はじめに 昨年末、SAP Buildのハンズオンイベントの中で、請求書の承認プロセスをSAP Build Process Automationを用いて実装する場面がありました。 請求書承認プロセスの俯瞰図 その業務プロセスの中では、財務部の社員の元に届いた請求書を、SAP Build Appsを用いて作成した、写真撮影機能やファイルのアップロード機能を持ったアプリケーションを通してSAP Build Process Automationにアップロードし、承認プロセスを走らせるという実装をしていました。上図に当てはめていえば、Step1-> Step2の間に、「アプリを使って手作業でアップロードする」という作業が挟まっていたのです。 この業務プロセスを自分自身で実装しながら思っていたことがありました。 『正直トリガの部分、もっと自動化の余地があるかも、、』 請求書のpdfファイルがメールの添付ファイルとして送られてくるのであれば、別途用意したアプリケーションを用いてSAP Build Process Automation上にアップロードするのは二度手間になってしまっているのです。 もちろん、請求書がpdfの形で送られてくるとは限りませんし、もしかしたら紙で送られてくるかもしれません。そういった場合に備えて、スキャン機能を持ったアプリケーションを作って、ある程度手作業の部分を残しておくことは必要悪であるとも考えられます。 しかし、今回は技術検証の意味も込めて、自動化に挑戦してみます。 目標点・構想 今回の検証の目的は、請求書のpdfファイルを含むメールが到着したときにこのワークフローを起動させる、すなわち「イベント駆動」で請求書の承認プロセスを開始することです。そのために最初に思いついた方法が、Office365ソフトウェアに組み込んだマクロからSAP Build Process Automationのワークフローを叩くことでした。 実装 今回のシナリオでは、以下の2つの部分でプロセスを実装する必要があります。 SAP Build Process Automation Microsoft Office365 Outlook SAP Build Process Automationのワークフロー こちらの部分の実装についても近々ブログを書ければと思いますので、書き次第リンクを貼ります。 ポイントとなる点は以下の通りです。 【プロセス】の入力に、”recipient” と “downloadPath” を設定する Outlook SDKを用いて自動化を作成する プロセス入力の設定....

このブログではSAP S/4HANA Cloud 2302 を前提として解説をしています。バージョンの相違にご注意ください。 通信設定の全体像 SAP S/4HANA Cloudと外部のサービス、つなげたいですよね。SAP S/4HANA Cloudはそれ単体でも業務を遂行する上で大きな役割を果たしますが、外部のソフトウェアとつながったときにはさらなる価値をもたらします。 SAP S/4HANA Cloudを任意の外部サービスと接続するときには、適切な通信設定を定義する必要があります。通信設定は以下の3つの要素から構成されていて、それぞれの関係性は図のようになっています。 通信契約 通信システムと通信ユーザなどの情報を持ち、通信に関する設定を全般的に制御するエンティティです。この通信契約を単位としてSAP S/4HANA Cloudと外部システムとの通信が行われます。 通信システム SAP S/4HANA Cloudと通信を行う相手のシステムです。この設定を通して、SAP S/4HANA Cloudは通信相手のシステムを認識します。 通信ユーザ 外部からSAP S/4HANA Cloudに対して、もしくはSAP S/4HANA Cloudから外部に向けて通信を行う際に用いる通信ユーザです。例えばSAP S/4HANA Cloudを利用する際にログインを行いますが、それを自動化されたプロセス上で行うときに、認証に使うユーザというイメージです。 通信設定の全体像 図中の通信シナリオとは、SAPによってあらかじめ定義されている通信概要設定のことです。例えば、SAP_COM_0053（購買発注統合）という通信シナリオでは、購買発注に関連する業務で必要となるようなOData APIがひとかたまりにされています。これを継承する形で、その業務プロセスの実装に向けた通信契約が定義されます。 ここからは、以下の3つのFioriアプリを用いて通信設定に必要なエンティティをそれぞれ作成していきます。 通信設定に用いるアプリ群 通信ユーザの作成 まず「通信ユーザ更新」アプリから通信ユーザを定義します。 通信ユーザを作成 パスワード等は任意のものでかまいませんが、パスワード提案機能を使うと便利です。このパスワードは一旦メモ帳などにメモしておきましょう。 通信システムの作成 次に「通信システム」アプリから、通信システムを定義します。 通信システムの作成 今回はSAP Build Process Automationと接続を行うため、ホスト名には以下の通りSAP Build Process AutomationのAPIゲートウェイのホストを入力します。 ホスト名：spa-api-gateway-bpi-eu-prod.cfapps.eu10.hana.ondemand.com 論理システムやビジネスシステムの欄にはお使いのSAP BTP環境のサブアカウント名を入力してください。....
SAP Build Process Automationはワークフロー作成ツールであり、その性質上、外部のシステムのもつAPIを呼び出す必要性に駆られることが多々あります。そういったAPIの呼出しを行う機能を持つのが「アクション」プロジェクトです。 今回は購買伝票の読み取りを例にとって、SAP S/4HANA Cloudとの連携をする際に必要となるアクションプロジェクトの設定についてご紹介します。 SAP API Business HubからAPI設計ファイルを取得する アクションプロジェクトで呼び出すAPIの設定ファイルは、SAP API Business Hubからダウンロードすることが可能です。このサイトではSAP S/4HANA Cloudに限らず、どういったシステムと、どういったデータをやり取りしたいのかに応じて用意されたAPIが数多く公開されています。 SAP API Business Hub 使用したいAPIを検索し、詳細ページ中のOverviewタブの下部に移動すると、下図のようなセクションが現れます。ここからOpenAPIの規格で記述された、API設計ファイルをダウンロードできます。 API設計ファイルのダウンロード この例ではJSON / YAML / EDMX の3通りの形式で提供されていますが、SAP Build Process Automationのアクションプロジェクトで利用できるのはJSONのみであることに注意してください。 SAP S/4HANA Cloudへの宛先変数を作成する 今回はSAP S/4HANA Cloudに用意されたAPIを叩くので、まずはSAP S/4HANA Cloudに向けた宛先を作成します。 宛先を作成する URLのフィールドには利用したいAPIのOData サービスのURLを記入する必要があります。先ほどダウンロードしたAPI設計ファイルを開き、「servers」というキー内に記述された「url」の値を取得します。 ODataサービスのURL特定 hostやportは各自の環境に合わせて書き換えてください。 また、Userの欄には、こちらのブログ内で作成した通信ユーザのIDとパスワードを入力します。【SAP備忘録】SAP Build Process AutomationとSAP S/4HANA Cloudの通信設定を行う <<ブログURL – 公開され次第貼る>> プロパティには次の表のように入力を行います。<SID>にはお使いのSAP....
今回のブログでは、SAP Build Appsの中に新たに登場したVisual Cloud Functionsを利用して、バックエンド側の機能を備えたフルスタックアプリケーションの開発をハンズオン形式でお伝えします。ぜひ一緒に手を動かしながらご覧ください。 Visual Cloud Functionsとは Visual Cloud Functionsは、SAP Build Appsの中に搭載された機能です。視覚的に（Visual）、クラウドでの（Cloud）、バックエンド機能（Functions）を作成できるツールになっています。 Introduction | SAP Help Portal 今まではあくまでフロントエンドでのUI構築や変数操作を提供していたSAP Build Appsですが、このVisual Cloud Functionsの登場により、フロントエンドとバックエンドを両方開発する、いわゆるフルスタックアプリの開発が行えるようになりました。 今回作成するアプリケーション 今回は、メッセージを登録するだけの簡易掲示板のようなアプリケーションを作成します。 【1】SAP Build Apps Visual Cloud Functionsでデータエンティティを作る まずはバックエンド側で扱うデータを用意していきます。SAP Build Appsのロビーから「アプリケーションの構築」を選択し、その後「Webおよびモバイルアプリケーション」を選択すると従来のSAP Build AppsのUI構築画面に、「アプリケーションバックエンド」を選択するとVisual Cloud Functionの作成画面に遷移します。 今回は、まず「アプリケーションバックエンド」を選択しましょう。 バックエンドアプリケーションのプロジェクト作成 プロジェクトが作成出来たら、エンティティを作成しましょう。 エンティティの作成 これは複数のプロパティを有するデータの定義、すなわちオブジェクトのようなものです。今回はMessagesというエンティティを作成します。このエンティティは、レコードごとに id message という2つのプロパティを有しています。 プロパティを追加する 以上で、データの設定が完了しました。 【2】SAP Build Apps Visual Cloud Functionsでデータ処理のファンクションを作る 次に、この定義したデータをどのように扱うのかというファンクションを定義していきます。今回は以下の2つのファンクションを定義します。....
今回は、自動化を推進するノーコード・ワークフロー作成ツールであるSAP Build Process AutomationからSAP S/4HANA Cloudに接続し、購買伝票を読み込んでみるという検証をしていきます。概念の解説をしつつハンズオンの形式で手順一つ一つを記録しているので、ぜひ一緒に手を動かしながらご覧いただけると幸いです。 検証の全体像 SAP Build Process AutomationとSAP S/4HANA Cloudの連携の全体像 今回の検証は、SAP Build Process Automationで作成したワークフローからSAP S/4HANA Cloud内部の購買伝票データを読み込むというシナリオで行います。この際、SAP Build Process Automationの「アクション」、SAP Business Technology Platformの「宛先」サービス、SAP S/4HANA Cloudの「通信管理」の機能を利用していきます。 検証記事 検証の詳しい内容はSAP S/4HANA Cloud側と、SAP Business Technology Platform側に分けて、2本の記事を執筆しました。SAP S/4HANA Cloud側の記事からご覧ください。 SAP S/4HANA Cloudにおける通信の設定 【SAP備忘録】SAP Build Process AutomationとSAP S/4HANA Cloudの通信設定を行う | SAP Blogs SAP Business Technology Platformにおける通信の設定 【SAP備忘録】SAP Build Process....
