Integration of new BPM (NWDS EHP1) and Solution Manager process graphics

Hi Experts,
we are trying to use Solution Manager for our client's process documentation. Now, Solution Manager generates a graphic which unfortunately is almost unusable (no lanes, no transaction link, just visio-like graphic). Even the old ASAP 4.6C graphic tool was better and more interactive.
On the other hand the new BPM in NW Developer Studio EHP1 Composition Environment seems to provide a perfect graphical tool for process modeling and documentation.
Does anybody know if there is a (future?) possibility to integrate these two tools?
As an alternative, does anybody have an idea how to get better Solution Manager process graphics?
Michael Meissner

I also digged a little into this topic since I was wondering about the different modeling techniques SAP currently provides and how they will be integrated in the future.
[This|http://www.feedingthesapecosystem.com/2009/05/sapphire-09-part-ii-high-stakes-of.html] great blog entry about NW BPM also includes some comments about the future vision of integration between NW BPM and SolMan. It looks like in NW BPM 7.2 (planned for end of the year) there will be a "read-only" integration with SolMan processes while in the future there will be a bidirectional integration which means that BPM can import SolMan processes, enhance them and again export the models to SolMan. This is a great step further to the Common Process Layer SAP is referring in the [BPM Roadmap document|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/003cf0a1-e8fa-2a10-7db5-ba245a663d9f&overridelayout=true].

User synchronization issue between Active Directory and Solution manager.

Requirement:
Synchronize the users between Active directory and solution manager system.
What we did:
1. Created RFC connection (LDAP_RFC) for LDAP connector.
2. Created new LDAP connector that utilize the RFC (LDAP_RFC).
3. Created new logical LDAP Server(CUA).Here we have to maintain the connection
details to the physical directory.
4. We maintained the communication user that is used by the LDAP connector to bind the LDAP Directory Server.
5. In transaction LDAPMAP specific SAP data fields, we mapped to the desired
directory attributes.
6. Testing from LDAP transaction working fine. We are able to see the attributes and
values from Active directory.
Issue:
When executed the program RSLDAPSYNC_USER for user synchronization from t-code se38 with below selection .
LDAP Server = CUA (created earlier)
LDAP Connector = LDAP_RFC (RFC connection created created ealier)
In the tab: (Object that exist both in the directory and in the Database:)
Selected: Compare Time Stamp.
In the tab: (Objects the only exist in the Directory.)
Selected : Create in Database.
In the tab(Objects that only Exist in the Database:
Selected: Ignore Object.
Result from the report shows that connection to LDAP server is fine and 0(zero) objects in Directory.
The program does not create any new user in the Solution Manager system.
Any help on this issue greatly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,
Harish

where did you see this error ? is there anymore details.
i think the account you are using for Sync does not have Replicate Directory Changes permission in AD. follow below article and give Replicate directory changes permission.

Install both SAP ECC 6.0 EHP 4 and Solution Manager in C drive

Hi, SDN fellows.
I just want to confirm this.
I am trying to install SAP ECC 6.0 EHP 4 and Solution Manager in C drive. Are these OK, since they both will be installed under the C:\usr folder?
What precaution we need to install these two SAP components in the same drive (C)?
I am installing both components in MS Window Server 2008 R2 SP1 with MS SQL Server 2005 SP3.
Thanks,
KC

Hi, Nick.
Sorry, I missed the "IDES". I am installing SAP ECC6.0 EHP4 IDES system for training purpose within the organization.
I am referring to the Installation Guide - SAP ERP 6.0 EHP Ready ABAP on Window MS SQL Server (Based on NW 7.0 incl EHP 1). All downloaded installation files are from: EHP4 for SAP ERP 6.0/NW7.01 --> IDES --> --> Widnows Server --> MS SQL Server.
The OS is installed in C drive.
I have allocated 250GB in C drive and 200GB in D drive from SAN.
For IDES system (I know it is similar to the standard ECC), is it also recommended to install in D drive (separate from the OS)?
In this case, should I install both Solution Manger and IDES in D drive?
Or what is the best combination where I should install these two systems?
Thanks,
KC

Pagefile for SAP Erp2005 and Solution Manager 4.0

Hi all,
I've installed SAP ERP2005 and Solution Manager 4.0 on the same server with Windows 2003 Standard 32bit.
The RAM on this server is 3325MB.
How many paging file I must configure???
At the moment I configured the pagefile size as defined in the installation guide:
1 RAM + 8GB that is 12285MB.
Is it correct????
For both instance I set the PHYS_MEM parameter to 2328 (70% of the RAM)...is it correct??
P.S. How to calculate the [BE] parameters??
[BE] = maximum possible number of user calculated from the size of physical main memory
Thanks in advanced
Moreno

I agree with Yaroslav,
you should NOT set those values:
em/initial_size_MB |----    [PM] |----    [PM]   |Mbyte     |
|---    em/max_size_MB |---    20000 |---   100000   |Mbyte     |
| em/address_space_MB |-----    512 |-----   4096   |Mbyte     |
|---- ztta/roll_first |-------    1 |-------    1   |Byte      |
|---    ztta/roll_area |--- 2000000 |--- 3000000   |Byte      |
| ztta/roll_extension | 2000000000 | 2000000000   |Byte      |
|    abap/heap_area_dia | 2000000000 |           2000000000   |Byte     |
| abap/heap_area_nondia | 2000000000 |           0 |Byte      |
| abap/heap_area_total | 2000000000 |[PM]*1048576   |Byte      |
|-    rdisp/ROLL_MAXFS | [BE] * 100   | [BE] * 100   |8KB Block |
|---    rdisp/ROLL_SHM | [BE] * 100   | [BE] * 100   |8KB Block |
|---    rdisp/PG_MAXFS |---    32768 |---    32768   |8KB Block |
|-----    rdisp/PG_SHM |
so... that [BE] value is not to be used.

EP and Solution Manager Via Webdispatcher

Solution Manager Via Webdispatcher
Dear All,
We have installed the Webdispatcher 7.4 and did the SSL setup and maintained necessary parameters to access our Portal and ECC systems from internet and its working fine for indepedent Java and ABAP stack.
Now when we are trying to access the solution manager via webdispatcher using webgui, it opens but when its calling the webdynpros like solman_setup, the page is not openning. The same case is in our portal system also, when its calling the webdynpro of backend system its not openning.
During our analysis we found the urls are called from the local machine to the backend host (ABAP) directly and there is no where its communicating the webdispatcher.
Can you please guide me what kind up setup can be done to access the Portal and solution manager complete functionality via webdispatcher.
I have checked many posts on the forum and was totally confused on the solution approches. So trying to filter it down to do a proper setup which is feasible to our landscape and infra team.
FYI Our Solman is on 7.1 SPS10 and portal is on 7.4, OS windows
Looking forward for your valuable inputs
Thanks & Regards,
Satyabrat

Thanks Samuli,
I tried it..its working for solman but in my ECC (NW 7.31) its not working for web dynpros. Its going to hostname:8001 port and not redirecting to webdispatcher.
Pleae let me know if I am missing something.
Thanks & Regards,
Satyabrat

SAP EHP1 for Solution Manager 7.0 - Post Install Procedure

Hello Folks:
I completed Sol Manager 7.0 EHP1 installation on Win 2008 R2 with MS SQL in a sandbox environment. This is the first time I ever installed SAP on my own and i am in the process of performing post installation steps from Installation Guide.
In the install guide, there is no mention of creating a new client ex: 100. Could you please, provide a list of tasks that generally needed to perform after the installation is completed and before doing any configuration in Solution manager.
I have some very basic idea on the Basis but while going thru Installation Guide I am not sure if there any steps that generally need to perform to complete the installation. My goal is to complete the Sol Mgr installation first and then start preparing for ECC 6.0 Installation.
Thanks a lot in Advance.

Hi,
First - the basic post installation steps are:
1. sick t-code need to execute
2. se06 --> Perform Post-Installation Actions
3. RZ10 --> Utilities --> Import profiles --> Of active servers
4. execute sgen T-code --> This will take some time
5. setup STMS
6. create client (If custom required)
7. Take backup of the system
For the solution manager client you could use the default created '001' client.
Next you need to run the solman_setup template which 'sets up' the SolMan for usage.
Follow config guide at: https://service.sap.com/~sapidb/011000358700000308502009E.PDF
For installing the ECC system, only a install key(from SMSY) is to be generated from SolMan. But if you want to use the SolMan effectively, suggest you to run the entire solman_setup.

Srikishan

New Partner Function in CRM (Solution Manager Service Desk)

Hi CRM Gurus!,
Even if this problem is present in my Solution Manager Service Desk I'm creating this thread here in CRM Forum because I thin'k I need the experience of one CRM Expert. Í´ve created this question in Solution Manager Forum also but I hadn´t solved my problem yet.
We add the partner function called "Additional Partner", but I don't know why in the tab "Partners" in the CRM transaction we want to add a new partner but in the partners combo the new one does not appear in the list.
The procedure that I did was: I created a new business partner function and I added this new function to my partner determination procedure, then in SPRO: "Define Partner Determination Procedures" -> I set the option "Only Functions Assigned in Procedure".
These are the values. fro my new function:
Function: ZSLFN004
Text: Additional Processor
Abbrev.: ZAMS
Function Cat.: 0008 Person Responsible
Usage: CRM Customer Relationship Managem.
Relatshp Cat: CRMH06 Is Responsible BP For
The partner functions in my procedure are:
00000001 Sold-To Party (CRM)
00000046 Approved by (CRM)
SLFN0001 System Administrator (CRM)
SLFN0002 Reported by (CRM)
SLFN0003 Support Team (CRM)
SLFN0004 Message Processor (CRM)
ZSLFN004 Additional Processor (CRM)
But in the transactions when I try to add a new partner in the partners tab only the follow functions appears in the combo:
00000001 Sold-To Party (CRM)
00000046 Approved by (CRM)
SLFN0001 System Administrator (CRM)
SLFN0002 Reported by (CRM)
SLFN0003 Support Team (CRM)
SLFN0004 Message Processor (CRM)
I don't know why my ZSLFN004 is not listed in the combo.
By the way, my function was created as a copy of SLFN0004.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards
Gustavo Balboa

Hi Vishant,
Thanks for your answer, but some one in the Solution Manager forum gave me the answer few minutes ago :). The problem was that in some transaction types (I don't know wich ones or if it aplies to all) the category 0008 - Person Responsible can only appear once, my partner function was a copy of the function SLFN0004 - Message Processor and that function is defined with the category 0008, so I had 2 partner functions defined in the category 0008.
To solve the problem I just adjust my Z function and put the category 0016 - Service Team and let the relationship empty. Then the partner function is now showing in the combo at partners tab.
Again, thanks anyway for the time that you take to answer my question.
Regards
Gustavo Balboa

BPM Monitor job in solution manager

Hi

In the BPM (Trans' solution_manager) I config a business process and add a job to the monitor.
But there is no support massage create when the job fails.
I don't know what i did wrong.
Help
Best regards
Lior Grinberg

Hello,
The automatic creation of a notification has to be configured separately from alerting. See documentation: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_smehp1/helpdata/en/a6/a1b52fda154614ba38a17be5243b73/frameset.htm
Please also visit the Business Process Monitoring site in Service Marketplace: http://service.sap.com/bpm
I recommend to configure the Job Monitoring from within a Job Documentation. The process is described in :
a) End user documentation

BPM and Change Management Process

Hi,
We have a requirement to automate the change management process. Typical functionality needed is - input the change required, assign priority, organise risk assessment, change approvals, change implementation, send automatic emails to managers etc.
Is BPM a best fit to this kind of Change Management Process?
Thanks
Srikanth

Hi Srikanth,
It's a good question and I hope this helps.
My short answer is that "it depends...".
Yes, an Oracle BPM process will let your users enter the change required, assign priority, define the change approvals, and send automatically send emails to managers.
Not saying that this is the case here, but sometimes people confuse an application with what BPM does with a process. Ask yourself if your candidate process for BPM has one or more of these characteristics:
Workflow - are there multiple people involved in the editing and approvals over some period of time?
Documentation - as work flows through the process, will you need to gather requirements / documents and associate these with the instance?
Seamless integration - are there systems and or databases involved that you need to integrate into the process?
Efficiency - do you want to ensure that your process continues to flow and escalates when a work item sits too long in someone's queue?
Governance - do you need to have an audit trail of the various people who were involved as a work item instance (a change approval in your case) flowed through the process?
Compliance - do you need to have the change management instances go through a process in a consistent and well documented manner?
Visibility - do you need to gather key performance indicators as instances flow through the process and do managers need to track these in business activity monitoring reports?
Hope this helps,
Dan
