(CHaRM) multiple landscapes in one maintenance project

Dear solman experts,
I know that it is possible to have one global maintenance project supporting multiple landscapes with the scenario CHaRM, instead of one maintenance project for one landscape. My question is what are the specific configurations to keep in mind when performing the configuration? And what are the consequences e.g. Can I still use the Change Document types urgent and normal correction or is it limited to only the normal correction due to complexity?
I hope someone can help me this.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Ricky

Hi
Yes it is possible................ with maintenance project you get normal, admin and urgent correction types
only with implementation projects you get normal & admin only and no urgent corrections
Secondly you have to create logical component for each system landscape and add all of them to your single project
e.g
SAP ECC landscape LC1 Dev 100 QA 200 PRD 300
SAP BI landscape Lc2 dev 100 qa 200 prd 300
etc
Note one logical component can store only one system landscape information not all systems
so add all of them in one project and activate charm.
now whenever the ticket is created ....developer can choose the system in which they want to create a TR ......and based upon LC it knows which is right Quality and prd.
Morver never forget .....Solman domain controller is master and it uses the same TMS setup which you for satellite system without charm.
hope its clear now

  • ChaRM: Several maintenance cycles in one maintenance project?

    Hi!
    We are working with urgent correction within ChaRM and thinking about to implement the normal corrections as well.
    Our ChaRM workflow for normal corrections is characterized by:
    a)corrections with different Life cycle (those who will be processed within 1 week, other with 2 week, etc.)
    Questions:
    1) Is it possible to have several maintenance cycles for one maintenance project to handle condition u201Ca)u201D?
    2) What will happen with all the normal corrections and urgent corrections that have a long life cycle (status: in development, test, etc.) when the charm manager set the status of maintenance cycle in u201CGo liveu201D?
    Thank you  very much!
    H. Thomasson

    Hi Holger,
    Maintenance cycle and SMI project is a 1:1 relationship.
    In status GoLive you will be able to continue developement/work on normal corrections but you will not be able to release any transport requests/create transport of copies so your testings in QA will be limited.
    In phase GoLive you are able to import requests into production.
    Normal Corrections which have not been released yet are not lost. Depending on your scenario you may switch phases back to "in dev with rel." after you imported into production. It is not necessary to close and recreate maintenance cycles if you use one project for daily/weekly maintenance.

  • Multiple landscapes in one NWDI?

    We have 2 distinct landscapes - one for BI java development (with ABAPJ2EE dev/qa/prod) and another for ERP (again, an ABAPJ2EE dev/qa/prd landscape).
    How could we use a single NWDI instance to manage both of those landscapes separately.  We would want to use the NWDI as the repository for java development in both the BI and ERP enviornments, but also would need to use it to deploy changes to different CONS/TEST/PROD systems.
    I've seen the docs showing the ability to do multiple tracks, each with a different PROD system.  But what about having different CONS and TEST systems in those tracks, too?

  • Multiple connections in one BC4J Project

    I want to access several Databases from one BC4J-Project.
    For example I want to write an application, which collects data from one database, does some computation and stores the results in a second database.
    I would prefer to use BC4J-Components for both, the source and the target database, but unfortunately I can select only one connection per BC4J-Project.
    Has anyone got an idea, how I can access more than one database-connection from one BC4J-Project without having to write all the JDBC-Stuff on my own? JDev-Team, can you please give a hint?

    Among other things, the BC4J Configuration defines the name of the JDBC connection to use. To solve your problem, you can create two Configurations one for each database. The JDBC connection value will be the only different element between these two Configurations. To create a BC4J Configuration in JDeveloper, right click on the AppModule node and then click Configurations...,
    Use oracle.jbo.client.Configuration class to create AppModules connected to the database you want.,
    import oracle.jbo.*;
    import oracle.jbo.client.Configuration;
    String am = "demo.DemoModule"; // Fully-qualified application module name
    // Configuration name with JDBC connection to source database
    String cf1 = "DemoModuleSourceDb";
    ApplicationModule amSrc = Configuration.createRootApplicationModule(am,cf1);
    // Configuration name with JDBC connection to dest database
    String cf2 = "DemoModuleDestDb";
    ApplicationModule amDest = Configuration.createRootApplicationModule(am,cf2);
    Note that the AM name can also be different if you want.
    Hope this helps,
    Sathish.

  • How can I make multiple quizzes within one Captivate project?

    Hi guys! Really liking Captivate 5.5, especially the way random question slides can lift questions out of a question pool...very elegant!
    Sadly though, I've come up against a bit of a wall. In my project, I want to have 3 separate quizzes that all use the same question pool; a 10, 30 and 50 question-long quiz. Each one needs to have its own results page.
    It's easy enough to see what I mean by looking at the screenshot below:
    The idea was to have about 105 slides in total, with slides 10 - 20 being the 10 quiz slide, 21 - 51 being the 30 question quiz and 52 - 102 being the 50 question quiz.
    There are three invisible buttons placed over those 10, 30, 50 text boxes. In the picture, the '10 question' button would jump to slide 10, the '30 question' button would jump to slide 21, and the '50 question' button would jump to slide 52, jumping the user to the start of their designated tests.
    Though I can create the 10 random question "block" easy enough, when it comes to adding the 30 question "block" it just adds the new random questions to the existing random questions. I want three separate quizzes, each with their own results screens please. (I don't want to daisy-chain to external projects, because the results of each test need to be used within the homepage.)
    It just adds them on to the existing block!! Argh!!
    Little bit ticked off with Adobe...the reason their products are so incredible is because they put no constraints on the user, and you can use their tools to create things even the developers never dreamed of. Like in Photoshop for example, I bet when the dropshadow fx was created, the developers never realised that it would be used to give a metallic 'stamped' look to text by turning it to white and applying it just inside the text.
    Captivate, though amazing most of the time, has a nasty habit of stomping on my toes. You can't set grade boundaries and have quizzes give out grades A+ to F- for example. You can only have 'pass' and 'fail', thus making it rather pointless for use in schools, contrary to how the program is advertised. Another example would be when I wanted to create a replay button. I thought that a button that jumped to the slide it was on would be a simple, no-BS replay button, but for some reason you can't make a button jump to its current slide. I downloaded a widget that worked in the end, but I wish Adobe would get off my back and let me do what I want!
    Anyway, if you could help me out here it would be grand

    I must say I have a little sympathy for the Captivate developers on this occasion.  As you say, they've created an application that does so much, that when you eventually run into a hard boundary of some kind, the effect is somewhat jarring.  However, every application, no matter how good, has limits.  I'm probably one of the worst offenders when it comes to asking the Adobe Captivate Development Team for enhancements (I think I've logged over 70 enhancement requests for Captivate 6 alone).
    In your case, you want to have three different quizzes in one project file, each with it's own separate Quiz Results page.  Lilybiri's blog explains how to set up your own faux Quiz Results pages using system variables and custom user variables, but you're going to find this to be quite a lot of trouble.  Even if YOU want to consider these as three separate quizzes, as far as Captivate is concerned they're just one big quiz with 50 questions.  So Captivate will calculate it's internal results based on a 50 question quiz, even if your users select the 10 question version.  So achieving a final Pass/Fail result is going to be problematic at best.
    As Lilybiri suggested, your better strategy would be to break this up into separate modules so that you can get your three separate quiz results (all done in standard Captivate) as well as correct results based on the actual number of questions done by the user.
    As far as grades A-F is concerned, there's nothing to stop you from using Advanced Actions and User Variables to calculate the user's score as a grade.  You need a user variable that stores the user's grade (e.g. var_Grade). And you need a fairly complex Conditional Advanced Action (e.g. caa_CalculateGrade) with several clauses each of which goes something like:
    If
    cpQuizInfoPointsscored is lesser or equal to [highest score for a particular grade]
    AND
    greater or equal to [lowest score for a particular grade]
    Actions
    Assign var_Grade with [the appropriate grade for that range of scores]
    Your conditional action will need one of these clauses for each separate grade.  Once your variable has been assigned a grade based on the user's score, you can display it in a text caption somewhere on the quiz results page or on a slide thereafter with suitable commendations/ commiserations.

  • ChaRM Maintenance Project & Implementation Project - How to select ?

    Hi,
    I am having an Interesting issue.
    I have defined two ChaRM Projects, One is Maintenance Project (ZCHARMIDES) & One is Implementation project (ZCHARM_NC).
    Implementation project (ZCHARM_NC) I defined today itself & Maintenance Project I am using for last 2 months.
    In both the projects I have same logical component.
    Now When I am creating a Change Request & authorizing it, it is generating Normal correction based on subject. But by default its taking Task list M000000001 which belongs to Maintenance Cycle, But I want to select Implementation Project, how to select this.
    My issue is why system is not asking me to select project ( Maintenance & Implementation) even though the logical component is same.
    I want to select Implementation Project  - I000000114 for checking Normal Corretion.
    Regards
    Praveen Khot(PK)

    Hi PK,
    It depends on the subject which you are selecting. A normal correction type in the subject field is related to the maintenance project. And hence, when you have only one maintenance project with that landscape, it automatically gets assigned to that maintenance project.
    In order to select the implementation project, your subject would look like Development (Implementation) (unless customized) and only then the follow on correction type would be the normal correction in the implementation project.
    Per the standard functionality of ChaRM, you will not be able to see the pop up to choose amongst one of the project types for a CR.

    Sneha Vyas.

  • 2 Logical Components in 1 Maintenance Project

    Dear all,
    We have two system system landscapes / logical components (Dev -> Tst -> Prd) in parallel; Finance and Logistics.
    Is it possible, to have them both in one Maintenance project?
    And more important, to have them both available in the project logistics task list (/TMWFLOW/PROJ).
    How do I arrange the parallel transporting eg. for Dev_FI -> Tst_FI and Dev_LO -> Tst_LO?
    Thanks for the answers,
    jan

    Hi Jan,
    Yes it is possible to have both parallel landscapes in same maintenance tasklist. Just create 2 separate logical components with the appropriate system role assignment in SMSY transaction.
    Now assign them in the Systems Landscapes Tab in the Project. When you create the maintenance cycle for this project it will automatically generate a tasklist with these 2 landscapes.
    It will show total six systems in your tasklist. DEV1>QAS1>PRD1 and DEV2>QAS2>PRD2. Now when you assign this IBase Component in your change request, it gets linked to this maintenance cycle.
    When in Normal Correction, you will get pop-up for actions like 'Logon to System' and "create transport Request' asking which Development system you want to logon to or create transport request in.
    Hope this helps...
    Thanks,

  • One maintenance cycle?

    Some consultants are stating that it's better to have 1 maintenance cycle per system in solution manager and keep moving the phases back and forward (thus: after go-live the phase is being moved back to "development without release" and from there a new normal correction can start). But can somebody explain to me <b>why</b> this is better than closing a maintenance cycle at the end of a normal correction?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi!
    I personally wouldn't recommend that but it sounds like an alternative method of handling parallel development for multiple release. At least in the project I'm in, there is a need to handle two or more simultaneous business releases with different go live dates.
    Idealistically there should be only one maintenance project and subsequently one maintenance cycle per system. A release (=maintenance cycle) is planned, executed and delivered. End of story. But in reality this is not the case. Planning and executing next cycle is usually started while the previous has not yet gone live and this is something that is hard to handle when you can have only one maintenance cycle at the time.
    I'm guessing that the idea of going back and forth with cycle phases is to use certain functionality of one phase but still keep the previous phase functionalities and enable parallel development.
    Having two or more maintenance projects and subsequently many maintenance cycles in order to enable parallel development is risky and it doesn't work well. Trust me I've tried. With more project than one in the same system you easily end up with inconsistencies etc.
    Hope this helps even a bit!

  • ChaRM - possible to have 2 different system landscapes in one project?

    Hi,
    can anyone tell me if it is possible to have 2 different system landscapes in one project. One landscape for developing and testing the Change Requests and another one for developing and testing the Bugfixes.
    Thanks,
    Martin

    As Rick, mentions, there's no default way.
    Having said that, there's nothing stopping you from doing it yourself. You can add a kind of language selector to the layout and set that for every html5 output. With some JavaScript, you can have the user switch between your outputs. It would look like content categories, but you'll have build it yourself.

  • Charm Configuration for Multiple Landscape

    Dear Guru's,
    We're having 5 landscapes (ECC, BI, etc) and one solution manager system, is it possible to configure ChaRm for the multiple landscape and control those 5 landscape in single solution manager system.
    Expecting your positive reply.
    regards,
    Guna

    Hi,
    You may create 5 Locical components and Assign them in the Maintenance Projects.
    and mainetenance cycle project each of them.
    There should be domain links from solman to each domain controllers in your landscape.
    Follow configuration as in SPRO
    Hope this helps.

  • Query on ChaRM control on BAU v/s Project landscapes

    We have Business-as-Usual landscape(DEV, QAS, PRD)  which is controlled by ChaRM (maintenance project).  To this environment, we plan to add a project landscape with Dev(P) and QA(P) systems for project activities.  
    Can we use BAU Solution Manager - where ChaRM is configured - to control developments in project landscape and later cutover respective project transports to BAU landscape?
    Thanks in advance,
    Shaji

    Hi Invycktus,
    Thank you very much for your quick reply.  I have seen the blog on retrofit functionality.  The retrofit procedure assists in moving BAU changes to project landscape. 
    My query is on sort of "reverse retrofit"   I mean, can I create an Implementation Project in BAU Solution Manager as follows?
    Dev(Prj)  -->  QA(Prj)  --> Test(Project) --> DEV --> QAS --> PRD
    Please note, DEV --> QAS --> PRD is already controlled by a Maintenance Project for BAU support.  Can the implementation project and maintenance project co-exist on same Solution Manager for same SIDs?
    Thanks again,
    Shaji

  • ChaRM: usage of several transport layers in different maintenance projects

    Hi!
    I have heared on SAP TechED about the following possibility:
    it should be possible to have several maintenance projects with different standard transport layers.
    Can some one of you confirm or reject this statement?
    Our problem is we work in same client in DEV system and transport in same client in QAS system and have several transport layers. All of them should be used by ChaRM.
    Other question:
    which new functions will be come with SPS 18 in ChaRM?
    Thank you very much!
    Holger Thomasson

    Hi
    Sorry for my ignorance but the Transport/Routes/Layer are releated to the Development Class.. and ChaRM dont take in count this...
    At the end you have 3 Development Clients...100/200/300..you need to create 3 project..

    Hi,
    You can have a single CTS on multiple landscapes.

  • Multiple TOCs for One Project

    Is it possible to split the topics in one help project into
    two toc (hhc) files? I have a master project that merges about 53
    chm files. Some of the slave projects are rather large and over the
    years have had several types of information added to them. The
    information in the projects are related to each other, but they
    need to be organized separately in the master TOC. Splitting the
    projects themselves is not a good solution. I would like to have
    multiple hhc files for the projects so that the topics can easily
    be inserted in their logical place in the master TOC.

    Hi,
    I am TW working jointly with another TW on a huge multifirm
    project for a same client. He is well versed in RH, while I am a
    beginner (with using RH) not with TW. He and I each produce large
    parts of what will be merged into a single huge context sensitive
    .chm file. Having experimented a bit with possibilities such as the
    ones you are exploring, I thought we could use it for our project.
    But the other TW felt we would have problems down the road.
    Just to confirm what John says. But then, I also am not
    adding anything positive by way of solution. Hope somebody else
    reacts to these two successive negative answers, and comes up with
    help for you.

  • Multiple Quizzes in One Project

    I'm developing a project that teaches 4 different standards,
    then has a overall assessment quiz at the end of the course.
    The problem I'm running into is that the "pre" quiz after
    each of the four standards cannot be independently "scored" without
    adding to the total score for the project. It's as if you can only
    have one quiz total slide per project, and that total slide can't
    be duplicated for individual quizzes.
    Any suggestions? I guess I have to break up each of the
    standards into their own projects, then present the final
    assessment as another independent project.
    Thanks
    JimmyD

    Welcome to our community, JimmyD
    I think you are spot on. There is currently no way within
    Captivate to have multiple quizzes in the same project. I'm not
    even sure if that would be possible from a technical standpoint.
    But I've seen a few folks ask about it here. Because of that, I
    would strongly encourage you and anyone else that sees a need for
    this capability to alert the Captivate Development team by
    completing a Wish Form.
