3 System Landscape and Deployment
Options
3.1 Introduction
This section provides an overview of the high-level system landscape and key components required for the SAP
Transportation Management collaboration portal (SAP TM collaboration portal).
3.2 Products and Components Overview
This section provides details about the products and components that comprise the system landscape for the
SAP Transportation Management collaboration portal (SAP TM collaboration portal).
SAP Business Suite
● SAP TM 9.6
An SAP TM 9.6 system is required to run the underlying transportation management scenarios. In this
guide, it is assumed that you already run such a system within your SAP Business Suite environment, as
well as a SAP NetWeaver AS ABAP 7.50.
● SAP TM software component SAPTMUI
The SAP TM software component SAPTMUI, deployed on the application back-end system or Gateway
system provides the user interface and front-end logic of the SAP TM collaboration portal.
The software component SAPTMUI must have the same support package (SP) level as that of the
underlying SAPTM component.
● SAP NetWeaver Component SAP_GWFND
The SAP NetWeaver component SAP_GWFND (SAP Gateway Foundation 7.40), deployed on the
application back-end system, establishes the communication between the Gateway system and the
application back end for the purpose of OData provisioning and push functions.
● SAP NetWeaver Component SAP_UI
The SAP NetWeaver component SAP_UI (User Interface Technology 7.40) deployed on the application
back-end system provides the relevant libraries to render the user interface for the Web interface.
SAP Gateway
The Gateway system uses OData services to provide back-end data and functions. It also processes HTTP(S)
requests for OData services.

System Landscape and Deployment Options PUBLIC 7
Demilitarized Zone (DMZ)
A Demilitarized Zone (sometimes referred to as a perimeter network) is a physical or logical subnetwork that
contains and exposes an organization’s external-facing services to a larger untrusted network, usually the
Internet. The purpose of a DMZ is to add an additional layer of security to an organization’s LAN as an external
attacker only has access to equipment in the DMZ, rather than any other part of the network.
Reverse Proxy / ABAP Web Dispatcher
The ABAP Web Dispatcher is needed to translate the traffic from the internet to the internal system landscape.
As modern browsers check for violations of the Same-origin-Policy, the Web dispatcher acts as a single point of
access and dispatches the calls to the Gateway services and to the UI sources respectively. It also acts as a
URL filter to only allow through the URLs needed for the SAP TM collaboration portal.
Example Architecture
Example Architecture

8 PUBLIC System Landscape and Deployment Options
The SAP TM collaboration portal is another consumption channel of existing SAP TM back-end functionality.
The back-end users of the company hosting the portal (customers of SAP TM) are working in the SAP TM Web
Dynpro application to tender their freight orders or to create freight invoices. These business objects can be
accessed by the portal user of the carrier (business partner of the SAP TM customers) in the SAP TM
collaboration portal. It can be accessed through the internet from a desktop or tablet browser and enables the
carrier to respond to freight requests for quotations.
 Note
If you, the shipper, do one of the following:
● upgrade the SAP TM collaboration portal to a new TM release

● install a new support package (SP)
● implement a UI-related SAP Note
you must tell your carriers to delete their temporary browser files and cookies, to run the SAP TM
collaboration portal correctly.
The browsers render the SAP UI5 sources which are stored as Business Server Pages (BSP) in the Gateway
system. The BSP application just acts as a container. The business data itself is stored in the SAP TM back-end
system and is accessed through the Gateway. To be able to consume the data in an appropriate way, the
consumption model is defined in the Gateway adapter.
3.3 Deployment Options

The SAP Transportation Management collaboration portal (SAP TM collaboration portal) is deployed as a Web
application using a browser and is launched from the browser using an internet scenario. It can be launched
from a desktop computer or a tablet device.
SAP Gateway: Central Hub or Embedded Deployment
You can install the Gateway components together with your back-end components as follows, either in a
standalone system separated from your back-end system components (central hub deployment) or in one
system (embedded deployment):
● Central Hub Deployment

The Gateway core components can be deployed in a standalone system, either behind or in front of the
firewall. In addition, you can install the optional components for central hub deployment in your standalone
system.
● Embedded Deployment
The core components for SAP Gateway and any optional back-end components are deployed together in
the SAP Business Suite back-end system. For this deployment option, you need a back-end system only,
without a dedicated Gateway central hub system.
For more information, see the master guide for SAP Gateway 2.0 Support Package Stack (SPS) 09 or higher on
SAP Help Portal at http://help.sap.com/nwgateway20 Installation and Upgrade Master Guide

4.4 Installation of Software Component Version SAPTMUI
170
Use
For the SAP Transportation Management collaboration portal (SAP TM collaboration portal), you need to install
the software component version SAPTMUI 170 according to your chosen deployment option. This software
component contains the relevant front end components.
4.5 Installation of Reverse Proxy / SAP Web Dispatcher
4.5.1 Introduction
For the SAP Transportation Management collaboration portal (SAP TM collaboration portal), you need to install
a reverse proxy or an instance of the SAP Web Dispatcher.
4.5.2 OData and HTTP Methods
Open Data Protocol (OData) is a standardized protocol for creating and consuming data APIs. OData builds on
core protocols like HTTP and commonly accepted methodologies like REST. The result is a uniform way to
expose full-featured data APIs.
RESTful Web services rely on HTTP semantics. Thus they use PUT and DELETE HTTP methods for update and
delete operations. If a reverse proxy is used, it must be configured to allow those HTTP methods for the SAP
Gateway OData services.
4.5.3 URL Rewriting
SAP Gateway OData services may return absolute URLs to Gateway. When these services are accessed
through a reverse proxy, theses URLs may be invalid and/or disclose system information (protocols, hostname,
port numbers).
Therefore, it is recommended to configure the URL rewrite rules at the reverse proxy level. The data to process
can be identified through its Content-Type HTTP header. The following content must be processed:
● text/html
● application/xml
● application/json

The internal server names must not be visible in the URL. Thus, there is the possibility to create a system
alias which will also be used for sending the URL of the SAP Transportation Management collaboration
portal (SAP TM collaboration portal) in tendering mails:
As part of the tendering process in the SAP TM back-end system, e-mails can be generated and sent to the
carriers which contain a link to the carrier’s work list. If the SAP TM collaboration portal is in place, this link
needs to represent the URL to the SAP TM collaboration portal. For information about how to set up a
system alias to secure the URL that is sent out via e-mail, see the security guide for SAP Transportation
Management, chapter Security Aspects of Data Flow and Processes E-Mail-Based Tendering Scenario
Recommendation . You can see the security guide for SAP TM on SAP Help Portal at http://
help.sap.com/tm Security Security Guide
If you decide not to maintain a system alias, the URL that is sent to the carrier will contain the server name
and port of the server on which the SAP TM collaboration portal is running. For deployment options where
software components SAPTMUI and SAPTM are not deployed on the same server, it is still required to create
an alias in transaction SM59 in your SAP TM system, according to the recommendation in the security
guide. However, maintain <host>:<port> of your Gateway server as the target in this alias, instead of the
system alias. For deployment options where software components SAPTMUI and SAPTM are deployed on
the same server, and you are not using a system alias, this is not required.
If the SAP TM collaboration portal is running on a server with multiple clients, you need to add the correct
client to the URL that is sent to the carrier. The correct client can be added automatically if you maintain
the client in transaction SM59, as follows:
1. In transaction SM59, create an RFC Destination.
2. On the Logon & Security tab page, specify the client in the Logon Procedure group box.
Note that you do not need to add the client to the URL if the SAP TM collaboration portal is running on a
server with only one client.
If you use the SAP TM system with the old Web UI for tendering (POWL Overview Tendering for Carriers)
and not the SAP TM collaboration portal, you must change the following option in Customizing. The option
allows you to define whether the URL target in e-mails is the SAP TM collaboration portal or Overview
Tendering for Carriers. The default is the SAP TM collaboration portal.

Configuration PUBLIC 21
For more information, see Customizing for Transportation Management under Freight Order
Management Tendering Define General Settings for Tendering E-Mail and SMS Content .
2. Define Users and Authorizations
The SAP TM collaboration portal adopts the user management and authentication mechanisms provided
by the SAP NetWeaver platform, specifically SAP NetWeaver Application Server ABAP.
To access the SAP TM functionality, you must create a business partner and assign it the Internet User role.
The business partner acts as a contact person for the carrier. You can assign the Internet User role to the
business partner as follows:
1. On the Maintain Business Partner (transaction BP) screen, create a person.
2. Enter the name of the contact person in the Business Partner field.
3. Enter Internet User in the Create in BP role field.
4. Open the Internet User tab page and enter the relevant details in the Logon Data group box.
Set up users and assign authorizations to your users in the back-end system. For the Gateway Hub
Deployment, also set up users and assign user authorizations for the Gateway server.
The SAP TM collaboration portal is shipped with the following role templates:
Role Usage
/TMUI/COLL_PORTAL_DEMO Demo user for the SAP TM collaboration portal
/TMUI/COLL_PORTAL User for Gateway services in the SAP TM collaboration

portal
/SCMTMS/COLL_PORTAL User for the SAP TM collaboration portal

Proceed as follows:
1. Copy the application-specific SAP roles mentioned above into the customer namespace and maintain
the authorization values correctly.
2. Assign the new role(s) to the application users.
For more information about users and authorizations, see the security guide for SAP TM on SAP Help
Portal at http://help.sap.com/tm Security Security Guide .
To restrict the visibility of worksets for a specific user, proceed as follows:
1. Open the application-specific role for /TMUI/COLL_PORTAL or /TMUI/COLL_PORTAL_DEMO created
above in transaction PFCG .
2. Go to tab Menu.
3. Delete the workset folders that you don’t want a certain user to see.

The following table shows the relation between the workset folders and the worksets in the portal:

/SCMTMS/FRA – /SCMTMS/FRT_PROCUREMENT /SCMTMS/FRT_PROCUREMENT
/SCMTMS/FRA – /SCMTMS/RATE_CHANGE /SCMTMS/FRT_PROCUREMENT
Also, you must delete the corresponding IWSG object in role /TMUI/COLL_PORTAL.
To access the portal in demo mode, the URL must be in the following format: https://
<server>:<port>/sap/bc/ui5_ui5/scmtms/coll_portal/?demo=x

 Note
If you do not use the workflow for invoice submission or the self-billing of freight orders, you must
remove the delivered authorization object S_WF_WI in transaction SU24.
3. Specify Connection Settings: Back-End System to SAP Gateway

Specify the settings that can be used by the OData Channel and the Gateway component to establish the
connection from your ERP back-end system to SAP Gateway.
Depending on your underlying SAP NetWeaver release, the configuration settings for OData Channel and
the structure in the Customizing may differ. See OData Channel Configuration for more details.
For more information on connection settings, see the configuration guide for SAP Gateway on SAP Help
Portal at http://help.sap.com/nwgateway20 Configuration Configuration Guide OData Channel

4. Change ICT File Compression Settings
The SAP TM collaboration portal applies file compression when processing data from the back end. To
ensure the settings are optimal for Web applications, change the profile parameter ict/
exclude_compression as follows:
1. Remove *.css
2. Add *.jpg, *.jpeg and *.png
For more information about changing settings for file compression, see SAP Note 1037677 .
5.3 Configuring SAP Gateway 2.0 Components

1. Activate the Gateway
Before starting with the configuration for SAP Gateway itself, you need to collect some information about
the SAP Gateway host. For more information, see the the configuration guide for SAP Gateway on SAP
Help Portal at http://help.sap.com/nwgateway20 Configuration Configuration Guide Basic
Configuration Settings .
You must activate the SAP Gateway before you can use it. For more information, see the configuration
guide for SAP Gateway on SAP Help Portal at http://help.sap.com/nwgateway20 Configuration
Configuration Guide OData Channel Configuration Activating SAP Gateway .
2. Specify Connection Settings: SAP Gateway to Back-End System
You must configure settings for Gateway components and define how these settings interface with your
existing SAP Business Suite system (back-end system). However, only the following steps are required for
the mobile system landscape in SAP Business Suite:
○ Defining Trust Between the SAP Gateway Host and Your SAP System
○ Creating a Type 3 RFC Destination on SAP Gateway Host to SAP
○ Configuring SAP System to Accept Assertion Tickets from SAP Gateway
○ Configuring the SAP Gateway Host to Accept Assertion Tickets
○ Creating the SAP System Alias for Applications
For a detailed description of these steps, see the configuration guide for SAP Gateway on SAP Help Portal
at http://help.sap.com/nwgateway20 Configuration Configuration Guide OData Channel
Configuration Connection Settings on the SAP Gateway Hub System Connection Settings: SAP Gateway
to SAP Systems .

3. Specify Settings for Standard Mode (OData) on the Gateway System
When setting up the Gateway services for applications, you must register and activate data retrieval
services (OData services) from your back-end system.
 Note
Configuration and use of OData services are mandatory for this application.
The following table shows the relevant OData services for the SAP Transportation Management
collaboration portal (SAP TM collaboration portal):
Workset Technical Service Name
/SCMTMS/USER
/SCMTMS/GENERAL
/UI2/PAGE_BUILDER_PERS
VBI_APPL_DEF_SRV
Freight Order Management – Freight Requests for /SCMTMS/TENDERING

Freight Settlement – Invoices, and Freight Settlement –
Credit Memos
Freight Agreement Management – Freight Agreement /SCMTMS/FRT_PROCUREMENT

RFQs, Freight Agreement Management – Freight
Agreements, and Freight Agreement Management –
Freight Agreements for Rate Changes
As previously described, you can disable specific worksets for a given user. If you do not want to use a
workset at all, you can disable that workset by not activating the Gateway service above. All Gateway
services without a workset always have to be activated as they cover basic functionality.
If you want to use the map, you must activate the Gateway service VBI_APPL_DEF_SRV.
 Note
In hub deployment, when you configure the Gateway services /UI2/PAGE_BUILDER_PERS and
VBI_APPL_DEF_SRV, you must specify the system in which the component SAPTMUI is installed.

 Caution
You should not use transaction SEGW (Gateway Service Builder) to change the Gateway services of the
SAP TM collaboration portal. If you do so and you have already applied some correction notes, the
generation of the *MPC* and *DPC* classes will overwrite the changes from the notes.
For more information, see the developer guide for SAP Gateway on SAP Help Portal at http://
help.sap.com/nwgateway20 Developer Guide OData Channel Basic Features Service Life-Cycle
Activate and Maintain Services .
4. Define Users and Authorizations for SAP Gateway

For each application user that you define in the back-end system, you must create a corresponding user
with the same name in the Gateway system. It requires specific authorizations that allow the services of
the application to be triggered in the back-end system.
Maintain the authorizations for the users of the SAP TM collaboration portal using the activated service
names. All the authorizations are pre-maintained in role /TMUI/COLL_PORTAL. If you use the delivered
technical service names, for example, ZTENDERING, all authorizations work out-of-the-box. If you change
the technical service names, you have to adapt the derived role from /TMUI/COLL_PORTAL.
Assign a standard SAP user role with the authorization S_RFCACL to all users in SAP Gateway, as well as in
all connected SAP systems.
5. Specify Language Settings
You must specify the settings for supported languages in the Gateway system, for example, default and
logon languages.
 Note
The Gateway system must provide the same default language as the back-end system, for example,
English.
The Gateway system must provide the same logon language as the back-end system. If this is not the
case, ensure that the Gateway system has a subset of the languages of the back-end system.
Setting the logon language for the ABAP Application Server works as follows:
○ If the Mandatory Logon Data indicator has been activated for a service in transaction SICF, the system
uses the language that was entered there.
○ If this is not the case, but the HTTP request contains the language in the HTTP header (as a header or
a form field), you log onto the system using this language.
○ The browser settings of the calling client are then used. The system selects as the logon language the
first language from the list that is maintained in the browser, and which is also installed in the SAP
system.
You specify the language list using the HTTP header field accept-language.
 Note
With Internet Explorer, you can, for example, set the language you require by choosing Tools
Internet Options Languages .
○ If no language is defined by this process, the classic SAP system mechanisms are used.
The logon language is based on the user settings (in transaction SU01) and if nothing is entered here, the
default language of the SAP system is used automatically.

For more information, see the configuration guide for SAP Gateway on SAP Help Portal at http://
help.sap.com/nwgateway20 Configuration Configuration Guide Basic Configuration Settings
Language Settings .
6. Virus Scan Interface
All changing calls to SAP Gateway (such as sending freight quotations, or uploading attachments) require
the configuration of the virus scan interface.
For more information, see the security guide for SAP Gateway on SAP Help Portal at http://help.sap.com/

5.6 Configuring Map Display

The SAP Transportation Management collaboration portal (SAP TM collaboration portal) is capable of
displaying a map in pre-defined areas of the user interface. This map shows, for example, the source and
destination location of a transport. Each user can display or hide the map by activating or deactivating this in
the personal user settings in the SAP TM collaboration portal. You cannot activate or deactivate this centrally
for all users.
The map is provided by SAP Visual Business and you need to make the following settings in the SAP TM back-
end system:
● You register and activate the data retrieval service (OData service) VBI_APPL_DEF_SRV.
For more information, see Configuring SAP Gateway 2.0 Components [page 24].
● You have to change the default SAP TM collaboration portal (TM_COLL_PORTAL) Visual Business
application which provides the required map configuration.
You have to change this application to meet your specific configuration needs, for example, using a
different map provider for the SAP TM collaboration portal. The Visual Business application used by the
SAP TM collaboration portal (TM_COLL_PORTAL) uses the map layer stack DEFAULT_COLL_PORTAL as the
default map layer stack, and this has no map product assigned by default. If you want to use the map
feature in the SAP TM collaboration portal, you must assign a corresponding map product to this map layer
stack.

For more information, see the installation and configuration guide for SAP Visual Business on SAP Help
Portal at http://help.sap.com SAP Visual Business 2.1 Installation and Upgrade SAP Visual Business
2.1 Installation and Configuration Guide .
● To display the correct location information on the map in the SAP TM collaboration portal, you maintain the
geographical data in the location master data in the SAP TM back-end system.
You can define master data for locations in SAP TM in SAP NetWeaver Business Client by choosing
Master Data Transportation Network Locations Define Location .
If you access the SAP TM collaboration portal in demo mode, you cannot use the map display.
5.7 Setting Up File Upload
The worksets Freight Settlement, Freight Order Management (Freight Orders for Execution and Freight Orders for
Confirmation), and Freight Agreement Management (Freight Agreement RFQs and Freight Agreements for Rate
Changes) provide file upload capabilities. The uploaded files are stored in an attachment folder in the back end.
You must configure the attachment folder to specify the types of files that can be uploaded.
Proceed as follows:
1. In Customizing for Cross-Application Components, choose Processes and Tools for Enterprise
Applications Reusable Objects and Functions for BOPF Environment Dependent Object Attachment
Folder Maintain Attachment Type Schema .
2. Double-click the Assign Schema to BO Nodes structure and assign the attachment type schema

TM collaboration portal URL is not masked with an alias on the web dispatcher.
5.10 Making Default Settings for Carriers
Use
As a shipper, you can make personalization settings for your carriers beforehand. The settings you make are
saved as default settings for your carriers when they log on to the SAP Transportation Management
collaboration portal (SAP TM collaboration portal).
To make the settings, you need an administrator's user in the SAP TM collaboration portal. Apart from
assigning the roles for accessing and using the SAP TM collaboration portal, you need to assign the following
roles to the administrator's user:
● /TMUI/COLL_PORTAL_ADMIN
● /SCMTMS/COLL_PORTAL_ADMIN
For more information about defining roles and authorizations, see Configuring SAP Business Suite
Components [page 21].
The default settings are stored as Customizing objects. Thus, you have the following options to provide default
settings:
● If you want to provide the default settings locally in your productive system, you must change the client
settings to allow changes to client-specific objects.
● If you want to transport the default settings from your development system to all the subsequent systems,
you must create a transport request in the Customizing client and specify it in user parameter /UI2/
WD_TRKORR_CUST for the administrator's user for the SAP TM collaboration portal. When you make
personalization changes in the SAP TM collaboration portal, these are recorded in the transport request.

 Note
To make sure the personalization settings you make are applied in the system after logon by carriers, you
must make the settings before your carriers access the SAP TM collaboration portal and make their own
settings. You must avoid making changes to the settings afterwards.
Prerequisites
If you want to use the default settings for carriers, you have to activate the Gateway service /UI2/
PAGE_BUILDER_CUST as described for the other Gateway services in section Configuring SAP Gateway 2.0
Components [page 24].
