AW: SAP MAPI

[Schmidinger, Heinz (Unaxis IT BZ)]

Hi Diane,
 
Mentioned before, we have installed MAPI-Connectioned and are have =
started
to reinstall it.
 
Advantages of MAPI: User can process their WI's and Mail-attached =
Objects
out of Outlook/Exchange and the folder is synchronized most time.
 
But: greater Problems we got because users are forwarding SAP-Items out =
of
the MAPI-Folder to other User's. The receiving USer cann't do nothing =
with
this and is frustrated or confused because he gets only an =
authorication
error from SAP (reason is, that the content of the forwarded dok is the =
key
pointing to the Users SAP-Office-Folder.
Another unliked thing is, that users are creating non-SAP-related mails =
out
of the MAPI-Box. This mails become automaticly SAP-Mails and are =
filling the
expensivest Storage we have.
Also bad is that the User don't see the Status of the Connection. So =
she/he
belives nothing was coming in but in reality the Connection is =
disconnected
by max. connection time.
Reaching at about 100 USers we have had to install an own =
Application-Server
for the MAPI-Connections, because otherwise the Users waste to much =
Memory
(double login through RFC).
 
maybe this helps a littel bit.
 
regards
 
Heinz

We are in the process of considering the best way to send SAP email and =
work
items to Outlook.  Are there any suggestions from successful =
implementers
that anyone wants to share.  Appreciate any information that could help
alleviate future problems and concerns.

Hi All,
 
As yet we havent heard back from Alan regarding our 'discussion' on SAP =
MAPI
and its 200 user limitation. Perhaps Jocelyn would care to comment?
 
Just out of interest, who in the WUG is using SAP MAPI in a production
environment? If you are using SAP MAPI in PRD then how many users is =
your
site currently running?
