linking SAP to MS Outlook - Issues

[vijay srikanth]

Hi all,

I'm trying to receive work items in my MS Outlook Inbox. The basic necessity 
is to install MAPI service provider from my SAP Setup.

1. I'm unable to find any placeholder during the Setup to install these MAPI 
services onto my computer. I'm installing SAP GUI 640 on my PC.

2. I can only see one 'Outlook Integration' checkbox during my set up. Is 
that enough to intall MAPI services on my desktop.

3. I'm unable to find the exact place in outlook where I should add the 
''SERIVCE" required in my profile to actually connect to SAP.

I've attached below an excerpt that I took out from SAP WUG messages only. 
This service option - I"m unable to find in my outlook. Please instruct me.

I'm using MS Outlook 2003 Serivce Pack 2. Is there anything extra I need to 
do to get this thing going.

Thanks & Regards,
Vijay

HI Tony,

The setup of linking SAP inbox to the Microsoft Outlook is the following:

You have to install MAPI by run SAP gui setup and on the component screen 
you
have to choose the Desktop interfaces and click on the Change options button
and choose SAP MAPI Service Provider. After the installation you have to add
this to the Services option in the Outlook Tools menu. Here you will have to
give all the logon informations for the required SAP system /system, client,
user and password/. Finally on the configuration screen choose the Message
store sheet and tick the Workflow enable function.

The result should be that a new Inbox /name: 'system nr.'+ 'client' 
SAPoffice -
'user'/ would appear. The Inbox folder will contain the content of your SAP
inbox /you can set up online and offline link/. The message subject field 
will
contain the task description, the message body will contain the long text of
the task description and the execution buttons, which by doubble clicking 
logs
on the SAP system and goes directly to the required transaction. After
executing the message will dissapear /online link/, just as in the SAP 
inbox.
