The object structure depends on the physical structure of the
supply grids:
Underground/overhead grids
Meshed/hierarchical grids
The object structure depends on the customers modeling

objectives:
To represent physical structures
To represent logical structures
To match the objects with interfaces to geographical information

ESUG Customer Successes
Demonstrable Scenarios
To show the power of SAP to GIS Integration we have built up
several proof of concept scenarios. The scenarios are utilizing SAP
and ESRI ARC GIS Server with integration delivered via SAP XI
using SOAP communication protocols.
The scenarios demonstrate that;

Information can be shared across business platforms to
deliver end to end business processes.
Processes can originate from SAP or GIS side without user
knowledge of both applications.
Data can be called and updated from either side.
Complex calculations can be performed and information
updated / shared across platform.
The following scenario(s) screen shots demonstrate;

Locating Customer in SAP using call center data, when
displaying customer on GIS map within SAP Call Center
Window.
Locating Customer in GIS, Retrieving SAP data and
displaying in map environment.
Editing Map information for customer connection position,
calculating length of service connection cable and send
numerical and spatial data update into SAP.
From the Call Center, Locate the Customer

From the Call Center, Select Customer

Request Location Information for Customer

Map Is Produced With Customers Home Showing Related Spatial Data

Scenario 3: Read SAP data

Task: Read data from SAP
system to get additional
information for a GIS
object
Problem: Link object from
GIS and SAP system
Example: Read data from
IS-U data model for a
building
Solution: Mapping of data
models

Scenario 4: Update SAP data

Task: Changing data in
GIS requires an update of
corresponding SAP data
Problem: Link object from
GIS and SAP system
Example: Modifications of
the spatial location of
service connection leads
to modification of a
characteristic of the
suppling pole
Solution: Mapping of data
models and object key
