Clarification in charm for daily transports

Dear Charm Experts,
We have configured charm in our test system and have few calrifications. Please help.
Objective: to use charm for transport management of regular corrections for support and maintenance of system (no implementation or upgrade)
So now we have configured and testing the workflow. Part of it i am successful able to create change request from dswp, approve and set to in development and also able to create transport request from change request.
Now i am unable to release the transport request, getting the following error.
"Action 'Regular Correction: Release Transport Request' cannot be
executed during phase 'Development without Release'"
My understanding is i can not release the request as the maintenance cycle status is in development. So to release the tr of change request i need to also set the status of maintenance cycle.
If this is the case then do i need to create a maintenance cycle for each change we need in our landscape? or how i can create and implement the chages using charm just like Remedy. Hope you understood my concern, please let me know if you need more information.
Thank you

Hi,
I guess, if i correctly understtand your prb, you are stcuk in flow of NCR.
if the MC is in status "Deve w/o release" your change doc "In developemnet", at this time you can only create the TR and do the develpment activity.
at once you set the MC as "Develp wit release" and your cr in "In development", you can release ur TR task,if you trigger action test transport, Then ToC s created, and import into test system, you can go for all testing, if any correction needed, do that in again in Dev system,release te new task , triger action again test import,ToC created, test it in test system.
Once development done, trigger the action Release Transport Order, nw change doc "Complete developement".
later you can move MC phase "test", CR as "To be tested", in this case corrections reparied by using test messages for create tr and import it.
So please set the phase of your MC as Develp wit release and proceed.
Thanks,
Jansi

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 - transport with error keep repeating for every transport job

Dear experts,
We are using ChaRM for our transport. There are always transport will returned with error. And I believe this is a feature provided by ChaRM, that all these transport with error will be retransport again during next run. Is there anyway to stop this? Some is in the list of "Correct Import (Repair Flag)" in task list, but some is not.

Hello FlyingFox,
I assume that we consider a urgent correction with different transport requests:
tr #1 :       retrun code 0
tr #2 :       retrun code 8
tr #3 :       return code 0      (but tr #3 didn't resolve the problem of tr #2)
Starting the import again, transport requests #2 and #3 have to be imported.
Sequence errors will be possible, if only tr #2 is imported again.
Therefore:
mark those transport requests, which shouldn't be imported again via task list ('correct transport requests manually' as you described - in our little example: mark tr #2).
Afterwards only new tranport requests will be included (e.g. tr #4).
Best regards
Horst

CHARM error - No Target system for Normal transport generated from another client

Hi Gurus,
This is regarding normal change. We have two clients in development. (Workbench and Customizing)
We were trying to do Automatic import from development client to Quality. When importing the job, I’m getting an error related to Project Status switch. "you cannot import any request for the project at the moment" It works fine for another development client and we can see the target system in Project status switch.
But, checking the Project Status switch, looks like there’s no Target System defined for Normal transport generated from another client of development.
I attached some screenshots related to this.
Can you please help how to add a target system for another client of development ?
Regards,
Salman

yes, client 110 is present in the task list of the project. yes route is defined because it is working for urgent change

ChaRM: combination of transport strategies

Hi ChaRM-experts!
I plan to map the existing transport landscape into ChaRM scenario of SOLMAN and have the following questions:
1) Is it possible to combine ChaRM-functionality and still use the old transport settings (without ChaRM) for the same system landscape, letu2019s say:
DEV --> QAS --> VO1 (Without ChaRM and with virtual system)
DEV:101 --> QAS:101 --> PRD:101 (With SOLMAN ChaRM)
2) What will happen with existing transport, transport in pipeline by switching into ChaRM scenario?
3) Is there some restrictions for the implementation of ChaRM for SAP R/3 4.7 systems?
Thank you very much!
Holger

Hi Holger,
1) Is it possible to combine ChaRM-functionality and still use the old transport settings for the same system landscape, letu2019s say:
DEV --> QAS --> VO1 (Without ChaRM and with virtual system)
DEV:101 --> QAS:101 --> PRD:101 (With SOLMAN ChaRM)
For Charm we need the transport route to be client specific.Once you have done the client specific transport route,you cannot use the older Transport route.
2) What will happen with existing transport, transport in pipeline by switching into ChaRM scenario?
TPs created before charm will be moved manually(normal process),as they will not be captured under charm project.
3) Is there some restrictions for the implementation of ChaRM for SAP R/3 4.7 systems?
No.
Please revert for any clarifications,
Regards,
Avinash.

Master Data Infopackage asks for a transport

We loading Master data Texts into an infopackage via a flat file. This is a daily process and it worked fine till yesterday. The current problem is whenever this file is specified and schedule to start the job is specified, it is asking for a transport Number. Nothing in the infopackage has changed. No changes has been made on how the client is set up in SE06/SCC4.
Any ideas why a data load asking for a transport Number.
Thks

Hi Hemal,
This is which system - production?. I guess then you would need to ask the Super user to create a transport request and add you as one of the users.
If it is development then follow this link:

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+.
Best Regards,
Holger

CharM questions (mix Transport strategy)

Can e.g. the target group concept help in this situation?
2) Is it possible, after the CharM implementation, to allow the developers create transports in DEV system?
Thank you very much!

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 Dual Stack ABAP & JAVA - No http port for system SPD

Hi,
I have configured the CHARM for Dual stack ( Java, ABAP). when I perform the action 'Logon to System' it gives me following option
" The system is a dual stack system. You can log
on to the ABAP stack or non-ABAP stack
To which stack do you want to log on?
ABAP or Non ABAP"
If I click on Non ABAP, one more message comes
"You can logon to system SPD or just display its
transport requests
What do you want to run?
Requests Or Logon"
If I click on Logon I get the Information " No http port for system SPD "
& If I click Continue It will take me to Ugent Correction & error appears as 'Action System Logon in system SPD 100 of type Source Systems has been cancelled'
How to Solve this error.
Regards
PK
Edited by: PK on Sep 1, 2010 5:59 AM

Its possible to login to portals(non-ABAP systems).
Please check.

Pl. make sure SLD for the Java stacks are defined correctly.

ChaRM with several transport layers

Hi!
We would like to use Solman ChaRM approach.
According to SPRO-documentation ChaRM only supports consolidation routes from standard transport layer.
We have besides the standard transport layer other transport layer and have the following question
1)What will happen when the developer try to change and import into QAS system object assigning to none-standard transport layer?
1a) ChaRM does not allow to change this object and the appropriate pop up window comes up
1b) ChaRM integrate this transport layer as standard transport layer
Any helpful information will be very appreciated
Thank you very much!
regards
Thom

Hello Thom,
I think, your question is almost independent from CHaRM. This is handled by the transport management system (TMS). If your developer changes the object assignment to a transport layer, and there is a transport track for this layer to the (same) QAS it should work. But if this QAS is not configured in CHaRM as a target system (in SOLAR_PROJECT_ADMIN), SolMan will probably raise an error message.
Also if the transport layer assignment / dev package not valid for this transport track, you will not able to release the transport -> SolMan is just using TMS mechanism and this will bring up an error message in CRMD_ORDER.
Unfortunately you can't see the transport logs in CRMD_ORDER directly, so the answer to 1a) is: In case of trouble releasing the transport you will get an error, but not the full error message.
1b) ChaRM cannot change a transport layer to a standard transport layer, this must be done using STMS on the transport daimn controller.
Regards,
Holger

ChaRM with several transport layers/routes

Hi!
We have a very comprehensive transport landscape where more than one transport layer is necessary.
The reasons therefore:
we implement none-SAP software and need an extra transport layer therefore
the developers still need an extra transport layer because of they assigned them their packages
Currently we have one and the same client in DEV system where all the transport layers reside.
Now we are thinking to implement ChaRM for all the transport layers.
1) Approach of splitting transport layers and working with different DEV clients
We split the transport layer and assign them the different standard layer
transport layer ZDV1: client 100
transport layer ZDV2: client 200
transport layer ZDV3: client 300
Question:
Is that possible to have here one maintenance project with more that one DEV system
(DEV:100, DEV:200 and DEV:300)?
Any helpful information will be very appreciated.
Thom

Hi Thom..
transport layer ZDV1: client 100
transport layer ZDV2: client 200
transport layer ZDV3: client 300
Why you have 3 Transports Layer???...
if you have
DEV100                QAS100    PRD100
DEV200
DEV300
Usually you have only 1 Layer from DEV100 to QAS100 (Consolidation Type)
To move from DEV100 to DEV200/300 use SCC1
IF you have
DEV100     -
> QAS100   -
>   PRD100
DEV200                QAS200
DEV300
You create 1 transport group
DEV100 -
> QAS100 ---> PRD100
                 |-->QAS200
Thanks

CHaRM-Action "Create Transport Request" is cancelled

Hi All,
when i click on the action "Create Transport Request" and save the change document the following error is displayed
"Action Create Transport Request in system SM2 200 of type Source Systems has been cancelled"
where SM2 200 is our Dev Client in the same Solution manager.
i did add the SAP ROLE "SAP_S_RFCACL" to the user in both the client and gave full authorization
but it did not help.
