AW: linking SAP to MS Outlook - Issues

[vijay srikanth]

If that being the case, and assuming my company doesn't use MAPI 
servers/protocols for outlook, does it mean that I can't access SAP 
workitems in my inbox at all?


Regards,
Vijay

>
>	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

>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.
