ChaRM for a 5 system landscape

Hi all,
we got a requirement to implement charm for 5 system landscape. but the problem is
currently the scenario followed for the rollout is
1. AA(DEV-proj)--> BB(QUA - proj)
Then the TR is forwarded from BB system to the maintenance landscape
DEV>QUA> PROD
they don't want to implement retrofit functionality.
is there any way we can mapp this scenario to charm.
kindly advice in this regard.
Thanks,
Subhashini.

Hi Ragu,
Thanks for the reply.
currently a two systems are separated from the maintenance landscape.
they are forwarding the TRs to the development system.
is there any way we create 2 tracks.
1. AA-BB-DEV-QUA-PROD
2. DEV-QUA- PROD
again i not having a clear idea on how to differentiate the tracks as both leads to the same production system.
or is there any way develop a custom method for forwarding this TR to the DEV system.
kindly sugggest on how to go about.
Thanks ,
Subhashini.

Charm configuration for a 4 system landscape

Hi Experts,
We are planning to implement charm for a 4 system landscape: Development Server, Integration Server, Quality Server and Production Server.
We could configure TMS related steps, activated Charm in Solution Manager, created a maintenance project in solar_project_admin.
However, the standard delivered transaction types like Normal correction and Urgent Correction are not working in a 4 system landscape. They are only working for 3 systems (DEV, QAS and PRD).
Are there any documents or blogs that would specially explain all the steps required for 4 systems? Any kind of help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ravali

Development --> Integration --> Quality --> Production.
First, I will import the transport of copies into integration
Yes, and you test the changes here.
Second, the whole transport is released and imported to Integration - in the Test phase of the maintenance cycle and NC status being consolidated.
Third - Now, keeping the maintenance cycle in the TEST phase and NC phase in consolidated, will I be able to schedule the transport into quality server?
Nope. You consolidate your normal correction, which releases your original transport and import them into Integration, and then immediately into Quality (you already proved it worked in Integration) BEFORE you set the phase to Test. Otherwise the original transports are NOT released. And if you set your phase to Test before importing the originals, you'll get a message that you cannot import transports into Quality during this phase.
If you need to get transports into Quality for break fixes during the Test phase you need to use a Test Message and these are imported during Go-live as well.
Fourth - if the above process works, I will then change the MC to Go Live and schedule the import to Production.
With the corrected process mentioned above, yes, you will then change the phase to Go-live and it will import everything that was brought into Quality.
Hope this helps.

Need help in configuring CHARM with R/3 System landscape with seven systems

Hi All,
we are planning to configure CHARM for our R/3 landscape.our current STMS includes seven systems.in the current STMS the transports flow as below.
D20->C20->C21->C22->C23->T20->P20
we require the transports to move in the same way as stated above even after CHARM is configured
1.please let me know if we can configure CHARM with seven systems.
2.if yes, how would the import happen( ie Action for import appears for all systems?).
Regards,
Anand Reddy

HI andy,
the transports will move in the following order.
D20(DEV)->C20(Consolidation)->C21(integ)->C22(reg)->C23(unit)->T20(final test)->P20(production)
transport will start in D20,then imported C20 followed by C21,C22,C23,T20 imports and finally reach P20
the systems are not in parallel they are one behind the other

ChaRM for SAP BI systems?

Hi!
We would like to implement ChaRM functionality for our SAP system landscape.
Among others we have 3 SAP BI systems.
Does some one experience with set up of ChaRM for SAP BI systems?
Do we have here a different approach as for other systems (e.g. SAP ERP 2005)?
Thank you very much!
regards
Thom

Hi Thom,
we are using a ECC landscape, a BI landscape, a Solution Manager landscape, and a CRM landscape within CHaRM. All landscapes are separate transport landscapes, and there is a transport domain link from SolMan Production system (as this is the transport domain controller).
To answer your question: The approach is all the same for any landscape (as long as they are just ABAP systems). The approach is different for Dual-Stack of Java systems, you would need CTS+.

Holger

CHARM with a 2 system landscape

Hello ,
we have only a 2 system landscape for our ERP systems.
When I now click on the check button on the maintainance project. I receive an error :
No consolidation system found for DEV-001 (project TEST_CHARM)
No track for project TEST_CHARM with log. system P23/001
Message from function module /TMWFLOW/CHECK_PRJ_CONS: No export system for DEV-001
TMS ( without any client routes)
DEV->PROD
Any suggestions ?
Regards

Hi Daniel,
we are using CHaRM in various transport landscapes with 2 and up to 5 systems. This is all working fine. Please make sure there is a consolidation transport route from DEV, also all RFC connections from Solution Manager to your Transport Landscape are set up, inlcuding 000 clients.
TMS settings need CTC=1, and Trusted Services in STMS need to be activated.
Other prerequsites are:
- Systems are deined in SMSY
- Transport Domain link between Transport domain controllers
- Logical components defined in SMSY (with correct system roles)
- Lofical component added to SMI project
If this is all fine, please hit button "Shipment Routes" in SOLAR_PROJECT_ADMIN in tab page "System Landscape" => "Systems" You should see all transport routes required for this project.
If this works, you are in a good shape.
Best Regards,
Holger Slomka

Clarifications about ChaRM for a 4-systems landsape

Hi All,
we have a 4 ECC systems landscape DEV>QAS>PrePRD-->PRD. When we set the status of change document from "In Development" to "To Be Tested" the TR are transported from DEV to QAS. After successfully testing in QAS the status of Change document is set to "Consolidated" and the TR are transported from QAS to PrePRD. When the phase of the project is switched to "GoLive" then all TRs that belong to the project are transported in PRD. Now we have some questions:
1)Is it possible to set a status for the change document that are in PrePRD so only those that have this status can be transported in PRD?
2)For a maintenance project UC and normal corrections in PrePRD are transported together (project import all) or separately?
3)Is it possible to do a single import (not an project import all) in PRD?
Best Regards
Bob

Hi Bob,
#1)
You want to transport only some transports out of all your available transports?
Only those, which reached pre-poduction system.
Afaik, this is not possible when you golive with the project. It's the idea of a project, to keep all transports 'together'.
You might try to do it manually directly in the system, but it's some effort and will reduce system stability.
#2)
UC are transported as transport of copies and re-transported with NC's when you go live with the project.
#3)
I don't know an automatic way - for one single transport, I would do it manually.
But again, it's risky. You should really know, what you are doing and what the effect of the transport will be!
Godd luck,
Jan

ChaRM in two system landscape

Hello Everyone,
I want to implement ChaRM for BIW systems which is a two system landscape: BIWDEV and BIWLIVE . Is it posible to implement ChaRm in a two system landscape /we need three system landscape only for it.I started the ChaRM configuration work but faced certain issues over which i was told tat Charm needs three systems for implementation. Kindly plz suggest and confirm.
Regards,
Somya

Hey Somya,
2 system landscape will also work with CHARM.
CHARM can also be configured in single system landscape.
But the bottomline is you require in all 3 clients to realize charm.
These three clients can belong to same or diffrent systems altogether.
For you i would say, u will require 2 clients in BIWDEV system ( Say BIWDEV:100 as development cleint and BIWDEV:200 as Test client ).
Now you have BIWLIVE system which is our production system, so you require 1 client BIWLIVE system..
So your 3 clients are ready and Change Request management can be realized..
Please Reward with points if this postv was usefull..

ChaRM with 4 system Landscape.

Hi, 
We are trying to implement ChaRM in a four system landscape 
 
AFD --> AFQ --> AFI --> AFP 
 
defined logical components, project, created maintenance cycle. U'gent correction works fine. 
 
but for regular correction, we are able to create TRs release it, but not getting imported into AFQ and of course further steps are not happening. When the status is "Development Completed", we perform "Log on to system", this pops up with a dialogue with options 
 
AFQ 200 
AFI 100 
 
to logon to system. 
 
This is the only clue we got. 
 
When we perform the actions, the status keeps changing and goes to status "Production". It doesn't obey the phases maintenance cycle as well, irrespective of the phases the status keeps changing and goes to status "Production" 
We are missing some minor thin's. 
 
Have we defined the system roles properly? IF not, how does the flow works perfectly fine with respect to U'gent correction. 
 
Please help. 
 
 
Regards, 
Ragu 
 

Hi Ragu,
I have a few questions here:
1. What normal correction type are you using - SDMI or SDMJ
2. What roles are assigned to the systems in Logical Components? I believe they are setup as Target Systems and thats why you get the pop-up with both systems when you execute 'Logon action' after 'Development Completed'
3. What is the STMS setup for this landscape?
4. Urgnt should behave properly coz it takes the shortest route to production. Can you check the tasklist of Urgnt and see if there are only 3 systems there?

Kriti Bhalla

ChaRM for 2 tier landscape

Hi
I need to setup ChaRM for a 2 tier landscape. I know how to do the technical side however i need some clarity in regards to the process flow that will be used. Does someone have a diagram or document detailing this process. Basically i just need to know at what point testing happens and when does the transport get triggered to move from DEV to PRD

Hi
Standard charms is for 3 tier so no diagram
for testing it happens in dev only so in short when move the changes to qa it will remain in dev system for ur case
only when request is released ................it goes to prd

CHARM for SAP Bank Analyzer system

Does anyone have experience with setting up CHARM for SAP BA system ?
Does work ?
Generally I would think it should as BA is technically just an ABAP-type system.
But I have never seen it before connected to CHARM, so any information is much appreciated: PROs, CONs, issues etc.
Thank you
Elena

I have configured CHARM on BW 3OB & BI 7 landscapes, and i dont think whatever you heard is correct.
If you follow pre-requisites you will able to configure it without any errors.

How to configure new system landscape in portal server for bsp iview

Hi
can you tell me what are the necessary parameters (apart form default parameters that were there while creating new system landscape) for configuring a system landscape for using it in bsp iviews.
thanks & regards
Ashutosh

Hello,
what you call system name has to be the system alias, and this alias has to be the same between DEV/QUAL/PROD environment.
Your portal application will look for data/BAPIs/etc... with this alias. Your portal application will know on which environment it has to retrieve data/BAPIs/etc... will be defined in each system object you have defined for each environment.

System landscape planning on system i

Hi,
We have V5R4 latest AS/400 Model with 2 LPARS(Logical Partitions).Each LPAR consists 2 TB storage and 30GB RAM.
a) LPAR1 - 2TB Storage ( SB,TA,DEV,QAS) :
b) LPAR2- 2 TB Storage for Production (PRD) + HA- High Availability
Our initial plan is All Solution Manager Instances B,TA,DEV,QAS), ECC6.0 Instances
(SB,TA,DEV,QAS), Net Weaver 2004s instances (SB,TA,DEV,QAS) install on LPAR1.
Each LPARS consists 3 iASPs(Auxilarlly Storage Pool).
ASP1- SYSBASE stores all Instances(Solution Manager,ECC6.0,Netweaver 2004s) Files Systems like /usr/sap/SID-SB,TA,DEV,QAS.
ASP2- Journals : Stores all instances(Solution Manager,ECC6.0,Netweaver 2004s) recent databse changes.
ASP3 - Libraries storesStores all instances(Solution Manager,ECC 6.0,Net weaver2004s)Database informations
But We are planning to implement 2 iASPs in LPAR1 ( DEV/TR/QA )
a) ASP1 - Sysbase + journals
b) ASP2 - Database
what approach would be best for our SAP system landscape environment.
Thanks

Not quite, Nesimi
The planning guide is clear: For each data supplier, you need a dedicated user in the central SLD.
What I do not understand is why. Why can't I get away with using the SLDDSUSER of the central SLD for all data suppliers? What difference does it make if I have a dedicated user for each data supplier in the central SLD?
I have 10 systems to send data to my central SLD and I want to avoid creating 10 different users, if it can be avoided
