This process describes how to integrate Microsoft Project Server 2003.

Configuration for Microsoft Project Server 2003

On the Microsoft Project Server 2003 side, you must:

  • Configure Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS)
  • Configure HTTPS / SSL for IIS
  • Configure Project Data Services (PDS) extender

Access to projects on Microsoft Project Server 2003 is based on the roles defined there for users wanting to access those projects.

Configuring Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS)

IIS configuration is needed to handle:

  • Very large XML requests or responses

    For POST operations to a .asp page, Microsoft IIS has default limits on the buffer size that depend on the IIS version:

    • The default limit in Microsoft IIS 4.0 is 2 MB
    • The default limit in Microsoft IIS 5.0 is 128 KB
      • This limit was reduced to 128 KB as a security measure.
    • The default limit in Microsoft IIS 6.0 is 256 KB

      For further information, go to Microsoft Developer Network at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/pjsdk/html/pdsUsingSOAP.asp

  • Anonymous logon to the SAP system

    For further information, see the relevant IIS documentation.

Configuring HTTPS / SSL for IIS

For more information about configuring IIS for HTTPS / SSL, go to http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;290625

Configuring Project Data Services (PDS) Extender

If you install Microsoft Project Server 2003, you must also install the PDS extender and register it on the system on which the Microsoft Project Server is installed

Configuration for SAP Portfolio and Project Management

To configure SAP Portfolio and Project Management to work with Microsoft Project Server, perform the following steps:

  1. Create RFC Connections
  2. Define Logical Ports
  3. Define Logical Systems
  4. Define Web Server Alias
  5. Define Object Link Type Groupings
  6. Define Object Link Types
  7. Assign Base System Applications to Application Areas
  8. Assign Object Link Type Groupings to Applications
  9. Assign Fields for Import to Project Management
  10. Assign Fields for Export from Project Management
  11. Map Base System Object Fields to Portfolio Item Fields
  12. Map Portfolio Item Fields to Base System Fields

When you have performed all the above configuration steps, users can:

  1. Create roles in SAP Portfolio and Project Management
  2. Assign resources to roles in SAP Portfolio and Project Management
  3. Log on with a valid user name and password authenticated by Microsoft Project Server 2003
  4. Select a project from SAP Portfolio and Project Management to be exported to Microsoft Project Server 2003

    In this case, a new project is created in Microsoft Project Server 2003 based on the details of the project selected for export from SAP Portfolio and Project Management.

  5. Create or change task details and task assignment details in Microsoft Project Server 2003
  6. Import project data from Microsoft Project Server 2003 to SAP Portfolio and Project Management along with the associated tasks, resources, roles, and task assignments
