SAP Manufacturing Integration and

Intelligence
e

SAP Manufacturing Integration and Intelligence (SAP MII) enables you to integrate your plant and enterprise
systems and display integrated data to your employees. You can use SAP MII to view, measure, and compare
the performance of plants and assets with different automation system infrastructures. SAP MII reduces the
cost of synchronizing plant and enterprise business processes by using the following:

 Plant system connectors

 Business logic services

 Integration scenarios

Integration

SAP MII is powered by SAP NetWeaver.

The following software units are required for some SAP MII functions:

 SAP Java Connector (SAP JCo)

 SAP Java Resource Adapter (SAP JRA)

Features

To access the SAP MII administration menu, enter http://<server:port>/XMII/Menu.jsp in your

browser.
From the SAP MII administration menu, you access SAP MII components to which you have permission. For
more information about system permissions, see Security Services.

The main components of the SAP MII administration menu include the following:

 System Management

Processing object (MDO) queries the connection from the data
source and to see if it supports batch processing. If it is
supported, batch processing is used for the replace
and update tasks and on-demand processing. If the
checkbox is not selected, batch processing is not used.

Resolve MachineResolveMachineName Enhances the logging information

Name
If you select the checkbox, the system finds the source
machine name through the configured machine's
domain name system for each request to the server. If
 you deselect the checkbox, the system records the IP
address of the request machine.

WSDLGen WSDLGenSecurityEnabled If the checkbox is selected, the system requires you to

Security Enabled log on before you can access the WSDLGen servlet. If
the checkbox is not selected, any user can call the
servlet to generate WSDL for a transaction; however,
you must still have permission to run the transaction.

Default File Path DefaultFilePath The path on the file system (along with the subfolders)
used to store files that need to be accessed by the
following workbench actions for read/write
operations:

 File I/O
o CreateDirectory

o CreateZipArchive

o DeleteFile

o GetFileList

o WriteFile

o FTPInput

o FTPOutput

o ADS Printing

o Send Mail

o Read Mail

 Logging

o XML Tracer

 Web

o HTMLSaver

o XMLSaver
 o TextSaver

o ImageSaver

o HTMLLoader

o XMLLoader

o TextLoader

o ImageLoader

Note

 Access to the files under the previous path (and the

subfolders) will be lost if the path is changed.

 If the path is empty, you can access the file system,

provided the file system provides read/write
permissions. The same holds good for prior releases.

 If the drive letter is not determined by the path, then

the drive you are using to run the application from
(Netweaver directory) is used. For example, if you
have MII defined for the default file path, and your
Netweaver installation is on the D drive, it will be
D:\MII. You can also specify a drive letter in the default
file patht.

Use Certified SecureADSConnectionEnabled Allows to use certified HTTPS connection to connect to

HTTPS ADS server. For more information, see SAP
Connection for Manufacturing Integration and Intelligence 15.0
ADS Configuration Guide.

Allow Cross CrossOriginResourceSharing Allows scripts to request to a domain other than the
Origin Resource hosted domain. In other words, a browser based
Sharing application sends a request to a server residing in a
different domain. A valid Cross Origin Resource
Sharing request contains a header called domain
which is automatically added by the browser.

Cross Origin Resource Sharing is supported in the

following browsers:

 Chrome 3+

 Firefox 3.5+

 Opera 12+

 Safari 4+

 Internet Explorer 8+

Allowed Hosts AllowedHosts Hosts that are allowed to make Cross Origin Resource
Sharing requests. * allows all hosts to make these
requests
Allow CredentialsAllowCredentials Enables MII server to add Access-Control-Allow-
Credentials to the response.

Expose Headers ExposeHeaders Comma separated list of headers that is allowed by

MII server.

Allow Methods AllowMethods Comma separated list of http methods allowed for
Cross Origin Resource Sharing.

Allow Headers AllowHeaders Allows headers containing response to preflight

request having Access-Control-Request-Headers

Maximum Age MaximumAge Time in seconds for which the preflight response can
be cached.

Use Decimal UseDecimalFormatting When enabled, all the floating and real data types in
Formatting the query template will be rounded off to the 12th
decimal place.

Parse Floating ParseFloatsAsDouble This will convert floating values to double and parse
Point Numbers as the same. Default value is disabled. This field is
Decimals ignored if Use Decimal Formatting is not selected.

Role Caching RoleCaching Select this checkbox to cache the details of UME roles.

Attribute CachingAttributeCaching Select this checkbox to cache the custom attributes

when SAP MII requests to UME and database.

Transaction TransactionShutdownMode When you try to shut down MII application, a lot of
Shutdown Mode transactions may be in progress. You can choose one
of the following option:

 Continue: Default behavior where MII transactions will

continue to run regardless of shutdown.

 Wait Forever: Shutdown will be postponed until all the

running transactions are stopped.

 Wait Until Max Wait Time, then terminate: MII

application will wait until the maximum time is
reached or until all running transactions are stopped.
If the maximum time is reached, then the system
sends termination requests to all the running
transactions.

 Terminate, then Wait Until Complete: MII will send

terminate requests to all running transactions, and
then wait until the maximum time is reached before
 continuing the shutdown process. •

 Terminate Immediately: MII sends terminate requests

to all running transactions, and then simultaneously
continue with the shutdown process.

Maximum Wait MaxWaitTimeForTrx Define wait time in seconds. MII application will wait
Time for until the maximum time is reached. If the maximum
Transactions time is reached, then the system sends termination
before Shutdown requests to all the running transactions
[Sec.]

Wait for Data WaitForDataServerStartup When selected, MII will wait for all the data servers to
Server Startup startup before running any scheduled jobs or
completing MII startup. This will reduce the time
required for MII to start. This will ensure continous
operation in the event of a server node shutdown or
restart, if there are many data servers configured.

Force Content ForceContentBlowout If True, SAP MII publishes the web content to SAP
Blowout on Netweaver file system. You must call the Blowout
Startup mode of the Catalog servlet to publish MII content
manually. You can call with no request parameters to
publish all content, or you can specifiy Folder=<folder>
to publish just a particular folder or project
Protocol ProtocolEncoding When Enabled, queries containing columns with
Encoding special characters such as ( and ) are encoded.

Note

This is valid from SAP MII 14.0 SP07 release

Generate ChangeGenerateChangeList If true, the system creates a change list for the logged
List in user when a tag or group is created in the Plant
Information Maintenance screen. The generated
change list contains the user id name and description

If false, when a tag or group is created in the Plant

Information Maintenance screen, the system prompts
a dialog box to create a change list for the logged in
user. You must enter a name and description for the
change list.

Note

Change list will not be created if there are existing

change lists associated with the logged in user.

Use Transaction TrxUseThreading Configures the transaction engine to use the new
Threading threading model
