BO Data Services Change Management with SAP Charm Functionality

HI Gurus,
We have been tasked with automating the Change Management activity for Business objects data Services. The same is currently performed as a manual task which could be prone to errors. We have researched all over the place and we have not been able to find any documentation on in order to carry out this activty through Solution Manager ChaRm functionality.
So, Can SAP Solution manager perform the LCM (Life Cycle management) for Business objects Data Services via means of it CHaRm functionality?
Right now we know that the components for BO are present on Solution manager within the SMSY transaction. We have also been able to create the complete landscape within the same and create a project template for it.
Now the challenge is how do we configure ChaRm in order to move the DI code from one repository to the next?
here are the requirements we are trying to implement:
1. Create a full landscape for Business Objects Data Services within SMSY in Solution manager
2. Create Project template for Business objects Data Services
3. Create RFC connections to Database and BODS Client Servers
4. Configure Charm in order to automate Change Management for Data Service
Please advice.
Thanks,

    yes it is possible across the project using Quality Gate management in EHP1 version
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_smehp1/helpdata/en/a9/0473a0d3f74adcaa6c6b4be7635867/frameset.htm
    Quality Gate Management gives you an overview of the status of the software distribution of your projects. It gives an integrated and consistent overview of the implementation of changes to your SAP software solution, for all operational units of the various organizations in a company. This increases the transparency of the software change process.
    Quality Gate Management combines different software developments in one logical structure. These developments are in turn collected in projects. You can organize and monitor the distribution of software by projects and their changes.
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_smehp1/helpdata/en/a9/0473a0d3f74adcaa6c6b4be7635867/frameset.htm
    The prerequisites for setting-up quality gate management are:
    Assign quality gate management roles
    Configure the system landscape in the Transport Management System (TMS)
    Create a project in the Project Administration and enter required data in Quality Gate Management.
    also check this note

    Hi,
    I faced a similar situation,
    I tried all the possible ways like activating InfoObject manually, Through an activation program of aggregates,
    Also ran RSRV check which was showing no negative results.
    I raised an OSS note for the same but after that when SAP returned back the process chian ran again as it is a daily load which activated the record in 'M'.
    I ask you to wait till the next process chian run, and try all possible ways to activate.
    If it is not corrected then raise an oss to SAP.
    Thanks & Regards,

  • Configuration Guide Job Scheduling Management with SAP Solution Manager

    Dear Gurus
    Could you please help me with the configuration guide of the Job Scheduling Management with SAP Solution Manager
    Best Regards

    Hello Luis,
    the configuration activities can be accessed via the "Implementatiopn Guide" by calling transaction SPRO in your SAP Solution Manager system.
    In SPRO navigate to -> SAP Solution Manager -> Scenario-Specific Settings -> Job Scheduling Management -> Standard Configuration and execute the following two activities.
    1. Activate Solution Manager Services
    2. Set Up Work Center for Job Scheduling Management
    Make sure that your user has role SAP_SM_SCHEDULER_EXE (or_ADMIN) assigned.
    Afterwards you should be able to access the Job Management Work Center and to create Job Documentation or to import Jobs from a Managed System into new Job Documentations.
    The following SAP notes might be usefuly as well:
    1054005  - FAQ on Job Scheduling Management

  • Advice on Promoting Master Data Services Changes from one environment to another, e.g. DEV to UAT

    Hi,
    Has anyone got experience of creating a script to promote Master Data Services changes from one environment to another, e.g. Development to Production please?
    The changes basically consist of adding several new MDS members which can be accessed via Excel.
    Thanks in advance,
    Kind Regards,
    Kieran.
    Kieran Patrick Wood http://www.innovativebusinessintelligence.com http://uk.linkedin.com/in/kieranpatrickwood http://kieranwood.wordpress.com/

    In MDS terminology an Entity is metadata, and Entity Members are the data. 
    Typically changes to an Entity (ie model design changes) are promoted to different environments.  Model design changes can be replicated manually in each environment or you can Export the model and Import it into the target environment.
    Adding, editing and deleting entity members is performed directly in each environment.
    If you want to selectively import data from a Dev environment, you can use staging.

    Hello Michelle,
    First of all, MDM Admin UI and SRM-MDM Search UI both are in same sca file (SRMMDMCAT20SP03P05.sca) and there is another sca file with API and MDM Connector (MDMJAVAAPI06_2.sca).
    Remember that files name might be change as per the business content version.
    So there are two file which you need to deploy. You can deploy these two file on any Web Application Server (WAS 7.0 and Above) using Software Deployment Manager (SDM) of SAP NW AS J2EE installation.
    For further information about these files, you can refer the SAP Note- 1057316 -- SRM-MDM Catalog 2.0 - Installation & Configuration.
    For checking the successful deployment of these SCA files, you can check with the mentioned below URL:
    http://ServerName:PortNo/webdynpro/dispatcher/sap.com/tcmdmsrmcat~uisearch/MDM_SRM_UI_App
    go to the above link, try to connect with the MDM Server which you have installed. After connecting the MDM Server, Choose your SRM-MDM Catalog repository and try to connect with the user as "Master" with blank pwd. If you are able to login in the repository, it means you have successfully deployed the correct sca files.
    For further details regarding this scenario, you can refer my answer in below thread:

    I hope, this will clear your doubt.If you need further help, Kindly update us.

  • Data Services Designer Issue with Job Server

    I am on Business Objects Edge Pro using the Data Services Designer.  When I try execute a job I get "The job server you have selected is not working."  In addition to that when I try to make any personal change to the environment I get a BODI-1260016 error.  Finally when you go to the help and about they show both the Job Engine and Job Server not responding. 
    I have opened up my CMC and it shows all servers enabled and functioning.  I do not know where to go from here.
    Thanks
    Cassidy

    Voila. I know I am a bit late to the conversation, but here was my solution. I was running Designer on my local machine. We also have Designer on the server. So I decided to remote to the server and compare settings. When the server desktop came up, good old Windows was there, announcing that BODS had changed since the last time it was run, and would I like to allow it to run (Y/N/Cancel)? Thanks, Windows. I said Yes, then went back to my local workstation, tried again to run a job, and no problem.
    This has happened with other software services (scripted ftp for example) that run on servers. Seems it can happen after a Microsoft Tuesday, or after software is upgraded. Always remember to log on to the server and clear any security dialogs that are preventing your service from running. Not really a BO solution, but it was my solution. YMMV.

  • Missing Data Cleanse package option in Data services Repository Manager

    Hello, I am trying to create a repository for data cleansing package repository in database using Repository Manager, but the drop down list box is not giving an option "Data Cleansing" to create repository. Only three values are available (Local,CEntral, and Profile).
    Using Data Services 3.0 Version. Any help or any workarounds creating a repository with our Repository Manager.
    Thanks,
    Kiran

    We searched log files and found no errors.
    We then decided to attempt re-creating the local repository.  We checked the Show Details box.
    The local repository was reported has having been successfully created.  This was the result we had before.
    We then checked for canned functions and the list matched to those of our Oracle and SQL Server local repositories.
    So, best guess is that something went wrong on the initial local repository creation that was either not reported or reported, but we missed.

    2. What are the steps we should follow during server failure and DB failure. Is there any order should be followed to start the servevices.
    3. how to aviod application service down/Failure issues.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    1. How do we make data services application 100% available. Do we have any other options other than adding nodes.
    Server group options is available, Regarding 100% available it's based on Hardware and OS capability.
    if Hardware and OS supports,  BODS also will support ( BODS will switch over one system to other when main  system is going down )
    2. What are the steps we should follow during server failure and DB failure. Is there any order should be followed to start the servevices.
    Please see above answer.

  • Invoice List SAP script - Problem with SAP script functionality

    Hello Friends,
    I am working on SAP script - Invoice List SD_INVOICE_LIST. The invoice list contains the underlying billing documents. As per the standard functionality, in the line items, its printing the underlying billing documents with the net value. My requirement is to dig these line items into another level, meaning, I need to display the line items of billing documents  as well(like material, material description, quantity, net price and net value of that item etc).
    The billing linte item informatin is stored in VBRP table and the VBRP structure is not at all defined in the print program of SD_INVOICE_LIST (I.E.RVADIL01). Change of standard SAP program is not an option for me here.
    In the external subroutine we can fetch these line items for each billing document in the invoice list. However, my question here is how to take these line items back to the sap script and print them in SAP script (We can print one line item but how to loop these fetched lines and print them on SAP script. Any help in this regard would be greatly appreciated.
    I think there is no standard smart form exist for the invoice list. Please also let me know if there is any standard smart form available for INVOICE List.
    Thanks in advanace for any help in this regard.
    Best regards,
    Siva

    Hi
    As you cannot change the standard, you will have to see if there are any enhancements provided in the print program. if not you have to copy into a custom one and do changes accordingly.
    Thanks,
