CRM Image Server Setup

Setting this up was quite a pain.

RFC connections

Use SM59 to check the RFC's SAPFTP,SAPFTPA,SAPHTTP and SAPHTTPA
This transactions are suppose to work out of the box, but we had problems with them.

See notes: 164203, 455197, 544843

The main issue i had was that SAPHTTP was broken out of the box.
By running RSHTTP05 (under SE38), it reported the transaction SAPHTTP was broken. So i had to go to SM59 and delete it.
Then run RSHTTP05 again, it will recreate it correctly and the test should work.

Configuring the web/ftp server (FTP + WebDav)

We use apache / Pure-Ftpd

Apache config: add webdav section / restart apache

ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
        DocumentRoot /var/www
        DavLockDB /var/lock/apache2/FTP-DAVLock
        <Directory /var/www/crmdev>
                DAV On
                AuthType Basic
                AuthName "Image server"
                AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/davusers
                <LimitExcept GET HEAD OPTIONS>
                Require user image
                </LimitExcept>
        </Directory>

Pure-ftpd:

pure-pw useradd image -f pureftpd.passwd -u 1001 -g 1001 -d /var/www/
pure-pw mkdb

Webdav/apache and Pure-Ftpd HAVE to point to the same directory.

To help finding issues:

tail /var/log/pure-ftpd/transfer.log /var/log/apache2/*.log /var/log/messages -f

Configuring the RFC

Go to transaction SPRO, and see "Define search server relation".

Also check the RFC was created correctly:

Define the publishing target

Go to transaction SPRO and run "Set Targets for publishing catalog contents"

Setting up the catalog in XCM

go to the XCM and set the image server

Running the replication

Go to the product catalog maintenance and run the replication
