SAP MAPI vs SAP Exchange Connector

[Kisloff, Philip]

Does anyone know of a limitation to the number of users that can
simultaneously use SAPMAPI? OSS note 454845 says there is limit
of 200 users for Lotus notes integration, but there is no mention
of any limits for SAPMAPI.=20
 
My company backed off using SAPMAPI on the question of number of=20
users and went for an SMTP mail with shortcut to the workplace inbox.
But I'm trying to find the source of these concerns. One possible=20
mechanism could have been from OSS note 0196537 (about two RFC=20
connections per user and 4.6B not auto-disconnecting) but any firm=20
data on this would be useful.
 
Also Greg, I noticed that OSS note 0480685 says that SAPMAPI does not
work for Windows XP/Outlook 2002. A temporary thing perhaps ?

Hi Gregory
 
 
I am using SAP MAPI because  I didn=B4t obtain to make the integration =
with
SAP Exchange Connector.
 
My environment is SAP 4.0B with MS Outlook 97.
 
I recommend that you reads note 79875 (installation of SAP MAPI).After =
the
installation of SAP MAPI the integration is ready.
 
The only inconvenience is that it will be necessary to install SAP MAPI =
for
all users SAP. =20
 
When the user to have access the Outlook it will make one pseudo-login =
in
R/3.  All workitens sent by R/3 to the Outlook will go to contain an =
icon
that will allow the access to R/3.Exists options to work online or =
offline .
 
When the user to click on  this icon  will go to access directly
transaction in R/3. After this it will be able to execute the
function or to execute other transactions normally.
 
I=B4m in phase of implementation of the Purchase Requistion Release =
Scene
(WS0000038) with this integration and It=B4s functioning without =
problems.
