Change Request Management in Implementation projects or not?

Hello guys,
We are starting a Change Request Management project at a customer. We discuss in the blueprint phase whether we should be using it only for maintenance activities, and not for implementation projects. We have some people that can be working both in maintenance and also in projects at the same time.
We want to understand whether that scenario is possible and also whether is advisable. We want to have control over the process, and therefore we should be restricting the creation of Transport Orders through SE01 so that we know that transport requests are created only by change document action.
What are the drawback, difficulties, considerations you may consider in making that decision? Is it logic to work that way or is it better just to implement it for the whole installation, including implementation projects?

this you can do either via SE03 / Display/Change Request Attributes / SAP_TMWFLOW Request created using Change Manager X X / Defaul for all client = Mandatory
or
you can achieve this by just activating the CHaRM in SolMan ( solar_project_admin / system landscape / CHARM)

What are the roles in CRM implementation Project(all generic extractions)

Hi Gurus,
Now I am placed from a support project from BW (CRM) implementation project(all are generic extractions).
& I am also new to implementation project.
what are the neccessary steps to be taken when we are implementing BW for CRM.
Gurus please clarify my doubts.
1. what are the steps in implementation project in detail(as a developer).
2. what are the sizes of the cubes,ODS & How to decide them.
3. what are the neccessary steps for Master data & Transaction data.
4.How to make the functional specifications for Infoobjects,cubes,ODS,Remote cubes,Multiproviders.
5.can we change to delta loads to full loads if yes what happens to existing data.
6.How flat file extraction used in the case of crm& how to do ascii format.
7.What are the steps to be taken when we are creating Queries & Reports in BW CRM.
It's very urgent.
thanks = points.
Bwcheta.

1. what are the steps in implementation project in detail(as a developer).
U have to basically to the techinal design after understnading the functional designs and implemnet the same( creating infoobjects, datatargets, datasources, queries etc.). Then u have to load data and do the unit testing on the same.
2. what are the sizes of the cubes,ODS & How to decide them.
Completely the business reqmnet and the data that the client wants to load.
3. what are the neccessary steps for Master data & Transaction data.
U have to understand ur master data and transaction data on the basis of whch u have create ur infoobjects and load data in them and finally in the datatarget.
4. can we change to delta loads to full loads if yes what happens to existing data.
Sure u can do that by choosing Full update in the infopkg. It will just load the complete data instead of changed records.
*Hope it helps.

How to represent and document BI, SBOJ in an implementation project

Hello
We are working in an implementation project modeling all the scenarios, proceses and process steps. We want to represent as well all the BI, SBOJ and BPC information. We are thinking of creating specific scenario for those. We would like to get inputs about best practices regarding representation of BI and so on in Solution Manager, how to prepare the blueprint, what type of "functional" documentation, technical one, etc.. Then, how to manage the different objects in SOLAR02, what is available in config tab, development tab, only documents or we can have access from SOLAR02 to the different objects, and then navigate? I would like to have your view on this subject.

Charm in implementation project

Hi All,
Iam currently configuring charm in implementation project. We do not have QA and PRD systems build yet.
I have created transport routes DEV>VQA>VPR ie with QA and PRD as virtual systems.
Now how do I add this as virtual systems in logical component. If I create entry in SMSY manually, tomorrow when my QA and PRD systems are available, how do I change it?
Regards,
S

Hi,
For demo system you can create three additional clients say 100>dev, 100> QA, 300> PRD and 500> solution manager ( that will be your original client).
you can create logical component for the same in SMSY and also you need to set up the transport route accordingly.
you can test the entire charm functionality this way.
When you would be having your actual systems you can create another logical component and project for the real scenario in solution manager and adjust the transport routes and you can still keep the demo system active alongwith real system scenario in case you want that.

Sarita

Not able to see General Documentation in Implementation Project

Hi All,
I've created one Template Project and one Implementation Project. Now I've added some documents to Template Project - General Documentation Tab. Ideally this newly added documents should be appeared in Implementation Project - General Tab. But in my case I am not able to see this newly added documents. Is there any reason behind this? What should I do to make them visible in Implementation Proj - General Documentation tab?
Another question is, If a document from Project Documentation tab is deleted by pressing 'Delete Row' button (not actual 'Delete' button), how can I retrieve that document? How can I see the list of all deleted documents?
Thanks in advance!
Shaun
Edited by: shaun99 on Feb 16, 2012 4:28 PM

Hi Shaun,
For the implementation project, please read the session "USING THE TEMPLATES" in the wiki page for template projects, where it explains how to update your project with the changes made in the template project.
-http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/x/gRkMDg
regarding the download, I'm not aware of any easy way to do mass download of the documents. Maybe in SI80 you could do such thing but I believe you would only be able to filter by the folder where the documents are phisically stored and as you're using a template project, all the documents are stored in the folder SOLAR00, shared along with solutions and etc..
more info about this in the wiki page for documents in solar01 and solar02:

How to transport Implementation project template changes?

Hello All,
I have made changes to the project template (added doc types, assigned status schemas) for Implementation projects in my dev system by going to SOLAR_PROJECT_ADMIN > Goto > Project Template > Implementation projects. I want these values to be the standard values whenever I start a new Implementation project.
When I save my changes, I am not prompted for a transport request, nor can I find any transport option in the menu. Do these project templates need to be manually configured in my test and production systems, or is there another way of assigning the changes to a transport that I cannot figure out?
Thanks in advance,
Michele

Hi,
Just enable the GLOBAL field for the values which you want to be available for all the implementation projects.
e.g
You created a documentation type which is having global field tick so it will be available for all
Hope it helps

How to connect Template project and Implementation project

Hi Experts,
     I would like to know how to connect Template project and Implementation project
    in Solution maneger.   Please help.
Best regards,
   Gaito

Hey Gaito,
great. Now that you have a template project, you need to create one or more templates within the project template.
Go to tab Templates (of your Templ Proj) and activate 'Global Rollout Functionnality' to be able to use the templates.
Create a new template thanks to button create. Visibility will be set to red 'private'. You ll have to set it to visible so it becomes visible from your implementation project.
You ll see when trying to do that next message 'No scenarios/configuration structures assigned to the template XXXX'. That means that in SOLAR01 you did not define a scenario that ll be used in template you re trying to create
In order to do that go to SOLAR01 for template project, select/create scenarios in tab structure and set in column template value of your template (the one you re creating in SOLAR_PROJECT_ADMIN) and in Global Attribute set value t Global
You l definitely find more info on this in sap document SMI310 (course). I don t know if you can find it on internet
Hope this helps

Copy teammembers and keywords from template to implementation project

Hello All,
When adding structure elements (business scenarios, etc) from a template project to an implementation project, the data on the administration tab is not copied with it.
When selecting a specific scenario from the template we need to be able to also copy the keywords and team members to the implementation project.
1) Is this possible without custom development
2) If we use custom development. How can I link a structure element to its Administration tab data (keywords and team members) in ABAP?
Thanks
Jurjen

If you copy the entire project using SOLAR_PROJECT_ADMIN, and then delete out of scope scenarios using SOLAR01, then the administration data can be copied over. Note, however, that this only works for the initial project copy. Subsequent changes to the information on the Administration tab in the Repository cannot be carried over to the projects using SA_PROJECT_UPGRADE. Another restriction is that you can't copy a template project to an implementation project. Also, if you want to use further template functions such as the Global Attributes, then you have to bring scenarios in using the template functions, where this data is not copied over.

How to Get in to Implementation Project

Hi all,
Iam R.Chaitanya, working in Capgemini support and one rollout project for the last 3.5 yrs. In view of saturation (from various points like financial growth, skills growth, insecure future... ), iam looking for change in project. As per my assumption, if i can get in to an implementation project then it will be good enough to continue further. Iam strong in MM configuration, but on simply applying to Jobs, iam not getting reply as i dont have implementation experience earlier.
   Can any one please let me know the way to get in to Implementation project. Any kind of help
   1) How to design the resume
   2) Showing Implementing oppurtunities
   3) Skills to be developed.
   Please advise accordingly.
thanks & regards
Chaitanya Rayaprolu

Hi,
Till now i have not taken part in any implementatio project and i donot feel any diificulties. As far as i know support is much more diffcult than implementation and you can learn more in support projects.
iam not getting reply as i dont have implementation experience earlier.
This is not because of this reason . Nowadays all the requirement has this credential ( Implementation experience) . Dont give much importance to this . Try searching , finally calls will come . Having 3.5 years od experience you should be able analyze and do this yourself

CTS Mgmt in SolMan for an Implementation Project?

Hi,
In an Implementation Project, if we need to use Solution Manager for CTS, is there any pre-requisites?
To be more clear, the project is still in the development stage and has not gone-live. The SolMan project type will be "Implementation" project(not a maintenance project). In this scenario, how the development/customization request will be moved across the landscape?
What are the steps to be followed?
Any inputs in this regard will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks a lot in advance.
best regds,
Alagammai.

Hi Avinash,
Again thanks a lot for your timely help.
So, all transports relating to an implementation project can be moved using the CHARM feature of SolMan. Nice )
(ii) Whenever I create Implementation or Maintenace project in my SolMan system, I am not finding this "Change Request" tab under "System Landscape" tab. What could be the problem? Is that becos CHARM is not configured in my system?
(iii) As you told while we create the transport route in the satellite systems, do we do it in the regular way? Or is there any modifications need to be done as we have to use it with CHARM? (sorry, might seem to be a silly question... but, as I am not aware of it...)
(iv) Also, you have listed a number of steps to be done. Are these steps to be done in the SolMan system?
(v) Is there any link or document describing this process? Do you have any document of your own? If so, can you pls send the same to my email id [email protected]?
Thanks & Best regds,
Alagammai.

Defining System Landscape in Implementation Project

Hi
I want to ask about defining System Landscape of an implementation project in solution manager.
I have assigned the logical Component in Systems tab.
I want to ask about creating the IMG Project in Sstems Landscape tab,, Is it compulsory to create IMG project for the new Implementation Project??? Why we create IMG Project?? Is it compulsory??
Please guide
Regards
Sidra Hasan

Hi,
Implementation Project u2013 A project to implement SAP solution as a part of regular implementation or a roll out. This is considered for single-site implementations. Predefined scenarios can be selected from template projects.
It is not compulsory to create these projects in solution manager that depends upon your implementation strategy.

Linking solution manager projects with CHARM implementation project

Hi Guys,
Currently i am working in CHARM implementation project, i have created one CHARM implementation project with urgent correction and i am able to create the Transport request and release the transport request succesfully and i am able to move it to quality system successfully. But my customer is asking to link the solution manager project to CHARM implementation project.
Earlier before implementing CHARM they have implemented project managent in solution manager, during that project they have created so many projects which are currently running, now they want those projects to be linked CHARM implementation project.
When ever they create a transport request through CHARM they want the TP to be saved under a respective project which they are using currently. but according to my knowledge the TP can be saved under CHARM implementation project only.
Now i want to know whether the projects created in SOLAR_PROJECT_ADMIN can be linked to CHARM implementation project. Pls give ur valuable inputs as it is very urgent.
Thanks&Regards
Raju

Hello,
We have implemented this with two systems landscape where in we have in place a Solution Manager Dev system and Solution manager Production system both are SOLMAN 4.0 with SP12. So the path for us to move the changes is from Development Systems to Production system.
We have ChaRM between the Dev and production. We reapplied the satellite system concept. For us the Solution manager Prod is a satellite systems all the changes that we move from Development system to Production systems is tracked with necessary documentation in the ChaRM process.
Yes, I agree with you that this is not any big magic. Working with two SOLMAN implementation, I strongly feel that SAP needs to have well rounded ChaRm processes. We have robust Change Management Process, but when we moved to ChaRM we were limited functionality of the ChaRM processes.
I had approached and did some research on how other companies are implementing the same process. Most of them have almost the same process for tracking SOLMAN changes. I am still look out for improved process to manage SOLMA changes.
Hope this helps!!! Thanks

Link between implementation project configuration (SOLAR02) and ChaRM?

Dears;
We want to benefit from listing all IMG Objects and developments in an implementation project (SOLAR02) to control our transports as we have ChaRM activated on the affected systems.
But there seems to be no link/control which has several consequences:
*Status of "changes" in ChaRM and related developments in the implementation project have to be tracked seperately
*There is no link between the development in the project (SOLAR02) and the created TR.
*There is no limitation/control in the content of the TR if it concerns items not listed in your project => how to check if the project is up-to-date?
Are my assumptions correct? Or am I forgetting something?
What is the experience in maintaining changes (transports) for implementation project? On what level? Linked with the structure in Solar02 or completely independant?
I have done quite some reading around the topics but documentation around project management via SolMan and ChaRM via SolMan seems never to be really connected? (only the overall status of the project and the activation of charm via SOLAR_PROJECT_ADMIN)

Jett Jiang wrote:

Thank you for the reply. Concerning these points:
1) This is done... No questions there
2) The "and" in your sentence means that I myself have to do both things? So there is no link?
So this does mean that (what my understanding was) I have to create a normal change via ChaRM but under the project for example a certain business scenario. That developers work on all topics related and should "remember" that if they put something under that transport they should verify if this is documented in the SOLAR02?
If then the change is put to testing they should manually update the status of everything related to this transport in the SOLAR02...
