How-To - Enhance Visibility Processes for GeoMap Usage
Introduction With SAP EM 9.0 SAP has introduced the functionality to display the geographical data which is either related to an Event Handler (EH) or to an Event Message (EVM) on a map which is integrated into SAP EM. The following two use cases are implemented with SAP EM 9.0: -
Display a Single Event Handler: When displaying a single EH on the map only the geographical data of the select EH is displayed. Geographical data is normally sent via Event Messages which is then used for visualization. Each Event Message enriched with geographical data sorted by actual event date is displayed on the map Latitude and Longitude information is retrieved from the EVM (Events with invalid or no geographical information will not be displayed on the map)

-
Display multiple Event Handler If more than one EH is selected from the search results only the latest position of the EH is displayed on the map. Latitude and Longitude information is retrieved from the EH (EH with invalid or no geographical information will not be displayed on the map)
The basis for using the map functionality within SAP EM is SAP Visual Business. SAP Visual Business is an interactive user interface (UI) technology that enables users to visualize data both SAP and non-SAP data from various sources on a single screen. SAP Visual Business is a toolbox that allows the rapid building of interactive graphics. SAP Visual Business graphically displays any combination of content in various ways, including as a geographic information system (GIS), a 3D model, or in the form of analytics. The visual relationship to reality allows users to navigate intuitively through business data, manipulating the level of detail in which the information is displayed by zooming in or out. SAP Visual Business was first released with SAP Transportation Management 8.0. Using the Solution with SAP Transportation Management allows logistics processes to be visualized on a map and provides an alternative starting point for transportation planning and optimization

Pre-requisite Map Integration in SAP EM
1.1
Visual Business 2.0 Runtime installation
Download SAP Visual Business from the SAP Support Portal http://service.sap.com/support SAP Software Download Center Installation and Upgrades A – Z Index “V” SAP VISUAL BUSINESS SAP VISUAL BUSINESS 2.0
Don't forget to set the checkbox. Unfortunately the SAP Frontend Installer does not inform you in case nothing is selected.
ACF White-list certificate installation For each system you need to install an ACF white-list certificate on your local PC: Run transaction WDR_ACF_WLIST and Press 'Install Certificate' from the toolbar.
In case the ACF white-list certificate is not installed, the Transportation Network looks like this:

In case the ACF white-list certificate is not available in your system, you can create it manually:

How-To - Enhance Visibility Processes for GeoMap Usage
ACF Whitelist Certificate Generation (for admins) Currently the ACF whitelist certificate has to be generated manually in each system once by the adminsitrator (transport connection is in progress). So in case the above described ACF white-list installation transaction does not show a Visual Business certificate, execute the following action: Run transaction WDR_ACF_GEN_CERT, select "Generate New Certificate" and press "Execute" (F8). A transport request may be needed for the certificate generation, depending on your system setup.

New Event Handler Parameter – Multiple EH Display
The geographical information will normally be received via EVM in SAP EM. Therefore to show the latest position of an EH on the map this information has to be updated on the EH level. The following parameters are used for multiple EH display:
Parameter Name
Parameter Type
Comment
RES30_GEO_ACT_DATETIME
Control Parameter
Latest Actual Event Time Stamp of the EH – only events which take place after the latest
one
received
will
update
the
geographical data of the EH to update the latest position RES30_EH_LONGITUDE
Control Parameter
Latest Longitude position of the EH – must be referenced in the User Profile Geomap Maintenance Longitude EH Param.
RES30_EH_LATITUDE
Control Parameter
Latest Latitude position of the EH – must be referenced in the User Profile Geomap Maintenance Latitude EH Param.
EVTTST (SAP EM Standard
Event Message Parameter
Parameter)
Actual Event Time Stamp is used to determine if the event received has to update the Longitude/Latitude on EH level

Not required the geographical Information is sent via EVM therefore the update of the EH Longitude and Latitude is done in the Rule Set. If these parameters can also be updated via EH update the parameter mapping would be required. 2.3

Additional Information
6.1
Event Message for multiple Event Handler
When receiving Event Messages for Resource Tracking from SAP TM the Event Message can have more than one Tracking ID e.g. multiple Container assigned to a BO. Only one Event Message will be sent from SAP TM but must update several EH in SAP EM. In the Extraction Function Module for the respective Events the TRXID will be set to a dummy value. The relevant Tracking IDs will be appended to table CT_TRACKREFERENCES.
Sample Coding: IF lt_res_tu_root IS NOT INITIAL. LOOP AT lt_res_tu_root ASSIGNING . " Tracking ID Code Set 'RES_ID' ls_trackingheader-trxcod = /scmtms/cl_scem_int_c=>sc_trackid_codesets-resource. " Tracking ID – RES " Event Message relevant for multiple Event Handler -> multiple TURES_IDs " Fill trackreferences with all relevant tracking IDs ls_trackingheader-trxid = 'dummy'. CLEAR ls_trackreferences. ls_trackreferences-evtcnt = gv_evtcnt. ls_trackreferences-refcod = /scmtms/cl_scem_int_c=>sc_trackid_codesets-resource. ls_trackreferences-refid = -tures_id. APPEND ls_trackreferences TO ct_trackreferences. ENDLOOP. ENDIF.
