Demo - SAP Strategy Management (SSM)

Hey All,
I`m in need a demo related with SAP Strategy Management that shows all the aplication, like core concepts and features.
Can someone help me to get this?
Best Regards,
Bruno Heissler

Hi Bruno,
There is a demo database PWSAMPLE that is shipped with SSM and has demo data values and is a demonstration/testing DB that you can show the application with.
Info for using this is in the install and config guides for SSM.
If you are looking for something for sales or to get new prospects we may need to check with someone on the sales/demo side of SSM to see what is available.
Thanks,
Bill

  • SAP Strategy Management (SSM) 7.0 to SAP BI communication

    Hi
    We are trying to create a connection from SAP Strategy Management 7.0 (SSM) to SAP BI 7.0. What kind of SAP user type should be used for the communication (dialog, system, u2026)?
    Kind regards
    Erik

    Anuj,
    In order to use SAP OLEDB connection type for the LinkID, there are a few dll files that you need to make sure to have on the latest version. I'm not sure right now which ones they are, but anyway that is one of the reasons SAP now only supports BAPI as the connection mode to BW. It is not dependent on any dlls and so it is less likely you run into errors because of anything that is unrelated to the product.
    I would therefore advise you to establish the connection to BW using BAPI. Perhaps the following note can help you:
    [Note 1297726 - Enabling BAPI connections within Application Server|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/0001297726]

  • NW CE 7.1 SP06 for SAP Strategy Management (SSM) environment

    I have been unable to find NW CE 7.1 SP06 installation files in SWDC. The path I have tried is:
    SDWC > Installations and Upgrades > Entry by Application Group > SAP NetWeaver and complementary products > SAP NetWeaver CE > SAP NETWEAVER CE 7.1.
    When I navigate there, there is only an 'Info Page' tab, not a 'Download' tab like I am accustomed to seeing for downloading installation files for other products. There is an 'Installation' link on the Info Page tab but this just takes me to another info page with a warning:
    "The following products have been classified with export control list position 4D003c (Strong Encryption). These products are subject to export control! Please consider this fact in case of export and/or shipment to other member states of the European Union. If so, please check whether you need an import license."
    We thought it could be a licensing issue but we do have access - we checked with our partner contacts at SAP.
    How do I get the installation file(s)?

    Hi,
    I solved the issue bye updating jvm manually. Both jspm and update manager didn't update successfully.
    Thanl you for your support.
    Resolution (to support adobe document services for my specific instalaltion)
    Check JVM version in Netweaver u2013 open file
    c:\usr\sap\<NWinstance>\<NWnumber>\exe\sapjvmmanifest.mf. See SAP JVM version
    (e.g. sapjvm version: 5.1.055)
    If SAP JVM version is earlier than 5.1.0.55 apply the patch from SAP Note 1469491:
    1) Download patched JVM from the link provided in SAP Note 1469491 for
    required platform
    2) Unpack downloaded SAR archive using Netweaver SAPCAR tool
    3) Check JVM version and platform in file sapjvmmanifest.mf. E.g.
    sapjvm os: NTintel
    sapjvm version: 5.1.055
    u201Csapjvm osu201D should be the same as in the installed NW JVM u2013 see file
    c:\usr\sap\<NWinstance>\<NWnumber>\exe\sapjvmmanifest.mf
    4) Stop Netweaver services
    5) Substitute Netweaver JVM folders
    c:\usr\sap\<NWinstance>\<NWnumber>\exe\sapjvm_5 and
    c:\usr\sap\<NWinstance>\SYS\exe\jvm\NTI386\sapjvm_5.1.0xx by SAP JVM
    from the patch package
    6) Start Netweaver services

  • Information about SAP Strategy Management (SAP SSM )

    Can someone tell me where I can find the modul "SAP Strategy Management 2007" or where I can order it? Is it a standalone solution or is it part of a package, maybe of the CPM? I couldn't find it in the catalog.
    Thank you in advance...
    Rob

    Rob,
    As Jean pointed out SAP Strategy Management (SSM) 7.0 has just been released for Ramp-Up.
    SSM 7.0 is integrated tightly to Netweaver. This can be a stand-alone product, and it is also designed to work in the larger Financial Performance Management suite, that would include BPC (Budgeting, Planning, & Consolidation) and PCM (Profitability and Cost Management).
    I was not sure what you meant by ordering the SSM product. You can contact your account executive if by ordering you meant purchasing.
    Since the product just entered Ramp-Up, even partners or consultants would have to be part of the Ramp-Up process to gain access to SSM 7.0.
    With integration to Netweaver, I strongly suggest that you consider SSM 7.0 if you are looking for strategy management.
    Thanks for your interest!

  • Questions on SAP Strategy Management

    Dear Experts,
    I am very new to SAP Strategy Management (SSM). I already tried to find some information about it in the web, but unfortunately most documents only provide high level information (mostly marketing slides). Therefore I would be grateful if you could answer the following questions:
    1. SSM provides charts for data visualization. Is there an overview of supported chart types? Is there a source which gives further information about chart customization?
    2. SSM provides a collaboration functionality that enables user to add comments. Can comments only be maintained on query level, or also by navigation state (e.g. comment is only shown, when navigating to Calendar Year 2006 and Company Code 4711)?
    3. Is it possible to print comments / export comments combined with charts / reports to PDF
    4. Can users upload documents (e.g. MS Word docs)?
    5. A new version was just released which is supposed to have a better integration with SAP BI. What are the improvements in terms of integration? How can SAP BI data be accessed?
    6. What are the current system requirements for SSM?
    7. Where can a documentation on SSM be found (I could unfortunately only find an installation guide on service.sap.com)?
    Thanks a lot for your help!

    Marco,
    Here is some information about SAP Strategy Management:
    1. SSM provides charts for data visualization. Is there an overview of supported chart types? Is there a source which gives further information about chart customization?
    Strategy Management provides out-of-the-box packaged reporting templates: Benchmarking, Trending, Percent Contributions within subtotals, Exceptions, Rankings, Ad-Hoc reporting of multiple dimensions & metrics.
    With Strategy Management, you can also provide links to reports or charts in other applications for further drill-down or exploration. 
    2. SSM provides a collaboration functionality that enables user to add comments. Can comments only be maintained on query level, or also by navigation state (e.g. comment is only shown, when navigating to Calendar Year 2006 and Company Code 4711)?
    Comments are added by users to specific areas and can be defined as to which user groups have access or visibility to these comments. These comments are directly associated with a specific area (i.e. objective, KPI, initiative, etc.) with a tagging icon to show individual users if there are new, unread, comments since their last access to system.
    Comments are added at the user interface level and would be stored in either the MaxDB or SQL database, depending on how the implementation was configured. 
    3. Is it possible to print comments / export comments combined with charts / reports to PDF
    Strategy Management has an Operational Review function that allows users to capture screenshots, annotate them and publish as a pdf report.
    4. Can users upload documents (e.g. MS Word docs)?
    Throughout Strategy Management is the ability to provide links to other reports, internal or external documentation, as well as other applications. Best practices would have an associated link to documents.
    5. A new version was just released which is supposed to have a better integration with SAP BI. What are the improvements in terms of integration? How can SAP BI data be accessed?
    The improvements are an administrator tool that provides a basic user interface to simplify the handling of BI connectivity: importing schemas, defining virtual measures, creating scorecard metrics, and importing data.
    6. What are the current system requirements for SSM?
    That information can be found in the installation guides.There is a Master Guide and a Sizing Guide which will both be helpful.
    7. Where can a documentation on SSM be found (I could unfortunately only find an installation guide on service.sap.com)?
    The best public resource for documention about SSM is the BPX Community> Enterprise Performance Management
    Hope this is helpful,
    Bob

  • Business Objects vs. SAP Strategy Management

    Hi all,
    I am new to this forum and would like to post a message regarding the recent news on SAP and Business Objects.
    Business Objects has more than 6000 CPM customers and in then meantime we find many statements like http://www.gartner.com/DisplayDocument?id=530626 in the web
    Since the announcement a couple of weeks have passed. My question is, if you have detailed analysis on how the Balanced Scorecard solution of both companies will differ respectively overlap. Are there any documents on that point available? And are there any consequences to be expected e.g. with respect to the price model?
    Thanks for your help,
    Alessandro

    Hi Alessandro,
    I fully agree with Prakash's reply - at the moment Nenshad's comments represent the 'only version of the truth' regarding the BOBJ acquisition.
    However, there is still a possibility to add some useful information on this as you are referring to a 'Balanced Scorecard' solution in general. As there are currently two sides to this equasion: SAP and BOBJ, for the SAP part we can be more specific:
    SAP Strategy Management (SSM) based on the technology acquired with Pilot Systems Co. in February 2007 is the tool of choice for scorecarding in the <u>current</u> CPM portfolio of SAP (SAP's current CPM portfolio is based on the acquisitions of Outlooksoft, Pilot and the reseller agreement with Acorn). This reduces the complexity a little bit as you no longer have to contemplate which of SAP's own scorecarding solutions is the leading one <u>at the moment</u>. SEM-CPM Balanced Scorecard is retired - being put in maintenance mode - and all customers encouraged to move to Strategy Management, facilitated by a planned migration utility.
    Shall you want to learn more about SAP Strategy Management, feel free to refer to my blog series (e.g. <a href="/people/karol.bliznak/blog/2007/09/12/one-blog-is-not-enough--how-to-manage-performance-management).

  • Replacimg performance Manager with SSM(SAP Strategy management)

    Hi,
    Can any body tell me  how to migrate all the scorecards, KPIs  based on Performance Manager to SAP Strategy Management. Is there is a tool for that in SSM if not should those be rebuilt in SSM from the scratch.
    how do we replicate everything fromPM to  SSM
    From the developer perspective what will their tasks.
    Edited by: chrisbaker1999 on Jun 16, 2011 1:01 PM

    Chris,
    What the External Data Loader does is to allow you to transfer your scorecard structure from Performance Manager to Strategy Management. What you are importing is the structure of Contexts, Perspectives, Objectives and KPI aspects. It allows you to put all of these in the loader, verify the structure in the loader, and then using Transport to bring into SSM.
    There are additional definitions and settings that SSM requires that will have to be added after you Transport the loader's data.
    You will still have to build PAS models separately, because the External Data Loader does not build models.
    The Transporter tool in SSM allows you to export (and then import) your scorecard metadata from DEV to PROD. Moving between systems is a two-step process, and Transporter is step one. PAS is separate (step two) and you make a dump of the model in your DEV system, take that dump file from the Home directory in DEV and move it to the Home directory in PROD. In the PROD system you create a new PAS model frame and then load that dump into the new framework.
    Each SAP customer has a super-administrator that can add users to the SAP Service Marketplace. Find out who your super-admin is and get yourself added to allow you access to those areas on Service Marketplace.

    Bob

  • Alternative Performance Visualizations in SAP Strategy Management

    A question frequently posed to the SAP Strategy Management solution management team is u201Cu2026beyond scorecards and strategy maps, are there other ways within SSM that I can visualize my organizationu2019s performance?u201D The answer is yes.
    The SSM Strategy page allows you to create and display up to three goal diagrams. Typically SSM users will just create a strategy diagram (the most common type of goal diagram) and let the other two goal diagram place holders go unused. However, with a little ingenuity the other two goal diagrams could be put to very good use.
    Using the goal diagram manager on the SSM Administration console you can import custom images (e.g. Adobe Illustrator or MS Visio images) into the SSM Strategy page. Once a custom image has been imported, hotspots can be mapped on top of the image that allow you to view the status and details of scorecard objects in relation to the image. Hotspots can be created for Contexts, Perspectives, Objectives, and KPIs (KPI hotspots are new in SSM 7.0). For each hotspot location a status indicator is displayed reflecting the Red/Yellow/Green status of the scorecard object. When the hotspot is clicked, details for the scorecard object are displayed in a dropdown box.
    So if, for example, you have created contexts for different geographic regions within the United States, you could import a map of the United States and then map context hotspots that allow you to easily view your organizationu2019s performance across geographic regions. So, on your US Map goal diagram you might see a green status icon over California, red over Boston, Yellow over Florida, etc. indicating your organizationu2019s performance in those regions.
    Other custom goal diagram examples include:
    - Organization charts that show the performance of different divisions / groups within your organization
    - Process flow diagrams that show performance of different elements of a business or production process
    - Initiative / project summaries that show the performance of multiple initiatives
    For more information on how to manage custom diagrams in SSM, view the Help topic u201CGoal Diagramsu201D within the SSM Administration console.

  • Add functionalities to SAP Strategy Management

    Hello,
    I am a student who wants to add some functionalities to the SAP Strategy Management software,
    to make it more collaborative. I subscribed to this very collaborative SAP website to find an answer on two questions:
    - is it possible for me as an external student to add functionality in SAP Strategy Management by programming in ABAP or JAVA?
    - if so, what (free) development tools are available
    I hope that there is someone who can help me with these two short questions. I would be very thankfull.

    Ransingh,
    Strategy Management is not a toolkit, it is designed as an out-of-the-box foundation for managing operational and strategic performance within an organization.
    I will refer you to the white paper on How to Customize Strategy Management 7.0 on the EPM BPX site. You can find it here near the bottom of the Strategy Management category:
    http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BPX/EnterprisePerformanceManagement%28EPM%29How-to+Guides
    This is gives some tips on customizations.
    As far as free development tools, SSM comes with a Tools area, http://<server>:<port>/strategy/tools.
    There is also BICA, which is a tool for harmonizing the data from SAP BW. There are some fundamental differences in how SSM and BW deal with data and they must be harmonized to provide accurate display of data in SSM.
    Customizations to Strategy Management are not supported and care should be taken with modifications during upgrades or support pack releases, so that they are backed up and re-introduced to the application.
    Regards,
    Bob

  • SAP Strategy Management implementation :BOOK

    Dear Gurus,
    I have searched SAP Press and Amazon but didn't find a suitable book for SAP Strategy management implementation.
    Could you please mentioned a cook book or ISBN number or any help is appericiatble.
    I am looking for Business as well as technical detail.
    Thanks & Regards
    Arif.

    Qureshi,
    As previously mentioned, there isn't any books about Strategy Management implementation. There are three areas that seem to get the most attention, but as SSM is changing in features, functionality and connectivity, it's moving faster than anything that could be published. The best documentation on implementation of SSM is the guides available on the Service Marketplace. These are regularly updated, so you always have access to the latest information.
    1) PAS - You build your multi-dimensional models in PAS. PAS has some amazing flexibility, especially how it handles time. Understanding how to use PAS seems to be a big challenge - as you can tell by the many questions on the Forum regarding models. There is no published book on PAS that I know of and even the PAS training in the SAP Education class is aimed as an overview. My suggestion here is at the very least try to take a SAP Education class on SSM that includes PAS training.
    2) Connectivity with SAP BW - Because of some fundamental differences between how PAS and BW deal with data, there is a tool - called the BICA - that SSM uses to harmonize BW and SSM data. There is a paper available on the EPM BPX on best practices with BICA.
    3) Wrangling KPIs - Strategy Management is about focusing on the essential areas of a business. Since this is YOUR business, your strategic objectives will be necessarily different - how else can you differentiate your products or services if you are doing everything the same as your competitors? This is not a situation of seeming how many more measures you can include, it's is trying to focus on doing those things that really are going to be game-changers for your organization.
    This business side aspect of Strategy Management is actually the area that will show the most success - and ROI - in the organization, although the typical focus is on the technical aspects of the application. Strategy Management continues to change the application to help address the different ways that people construct their organizational strategy and how they communicate it as well as monitor it. Do not underestimate the importance of the business side of this application.
    All three of these areas really strongly recommend Consulting Services. There are both SAP and 3rd Party consultants available for these areas. Why should you spend the money on a consultant?
    A) You will get implemented and running more quickly - less delays, less problems, more success. I have witnessed several projects where the organization wanted to DIY and faltered because there was no expertise on the team. Projects these days HAVE to be successful -right out of the gate - so get experienced help.
    B) Knowledge Transfer - There aren't any books and your boss isn't going to pay for a 5 day offsite training course. Bring in a consultant and work with them to learn what they do, how they do it, so you can become self-sufficient. It's much easier to build a consultant into a project budget than training. Although training is essential, I just never understand why executives neglect this important area.
    C) Personalized Help - The needs you have for your implementation and successful operation are going to be unique because it's going to revolve around your current technical architectural, your company's practices, as well as the structure of your organization. Having a consultant allows you to better use your time and the project's time by focusing on the needed areas and getting through the typical bumps that always accompany a new program's rollout.
    I am NOT a consultant, so I have no alterior motives. I DO want organizations to be successful with SSM implementations and from what I have witnessed the difference between success and merely muddling through is how willing the organization is to bring in either a SAP consultant or work with a knowledgable 3rd party consultant.

  • SAP Strategy Management stop loading on 96%

    Hi,
    we are facing the following problem.
    System Information:
    ==============
    SAP Strategy Management 10.1
    SAP Netweaver
    SAP MaxDB
    We did the following steps:
    ===================
    We used PAS cube builder to build a new PAS cube with one measure only. the PAS cube been created successfully.
    We then go to the SAP Strategy Administrator and tested the two associated model connections (CBSSM_SC & CBSSM_MM) and can connect.
    we set up this model under Entry and approval tab in the administrator screen and defined this measure for data entry.
    We used Data Entry and approval link to enter the data manually for the only KPI stored in this cube after defining the measure set.
    we then successfully loaded the data into the model.
    After that we scheduled a task to re-aggregate score cards data and it is completed successfully.
    We defined on KPI in the administrator screen and associated it with the created KPI (measure) in the already created model (cube).
    I already assigned SSM tasks to SSM roles from SAP net weaver administration screen.
    When we ope the main SAP Strategy Management interface link it loads and stop at 96%
    When we changed the model connection back to the default one "MODCONN" which is based on "Juice" model the main SAP strategy screen successfully complete at 100% and we can navigate to score card table but there is no data to be displayed. Only context hierarchy with the created KPI and no values or data.
    Can any one hep ...!?

    Hi every one...
    The problem was fixed by using a PAS cube with a defined dimension. There was many issues in SAP strategy Management 10.1 SP0 corrected in SP 1,2 & 3 regarding using a cube with no dimension. Also you may sometime need to close your browser and log in again.
