SAP NetWeaver: SAP's Model-Driven Business Process Application?

Hi All:
I am a graduate student currently doing a research on 'Model-Driven Business Process Application'. I came across some literature about SAP NetWeaver during my research. SAP NetWeaver has generated a lot of interest in me and I would like to know more detailed information about it:
How is SAP adopting BPM principles to manage Work-flows? Can we consider any of the current NetWeaver applications as model-driven?
It would be great to know the answers to some of these questions. I would sincerely appreciate if anyone of you could please help me with this. Also, thank you very much for your time and efforts. I would be happy to assign reward points to any informative responses.
Regards,
Alok

SAP T-Codes with Functiona Area, Business Process, Sub-Process wise details

Hi Experts,
I am Involved in GRC AC5.3 implementation Project. In this we need to work on complete Role-Redesign Process, which involves building of New Roles as per their requirement (Transaction used in past one Year). We find 3500 T-Codes, which are used by the client from past one year. We need to segregate the All the T-Codes into Functiona Area, Business Process, Sub-Process wise.
*Is there any data source available on Complete information on SAP T-Codes with Functiona Area, Business Process, and Sub-Process wise details.
Thank and Regards,
Sathish...

Hi Satish,
As per my knowledge, Since the role design is more specific to any client there is no standard classification.
However you can classify them taking leverage of sap provided rule set for RAR or Existing customized ruleset in your landscape, based on that you can start grouping the Tcodes and start framing the roles.

SAP GRC - ERM - Role update issue - Business Process and Subprocess

Hello Friends:
We are NOT currently maintaining Business processes or sub processes in GRC 5.3 for all roles. We don't want to maintain them in GRC 10 when we upload the roles. These 2 fields are Mandatory in GRC 10.0 - Can we make them NOT mandatory and leave them blank?? Currently we are facing some issues in uploading the roles
Please advise.
Regards
Ashish

Dear Ameet:
I just dislike the idea where SAP has made options for Business Process and Subprocess columns mandatory in uploading the roles as well from backend.
I am NOT using BRM, but still need to upload the roles for SAP to recognize them to be assigned to the users in GRC 10.0
I was facing the issues in uploading the roles initially, but now i have made it simple - just assign all the roles without the information of being FI or SD or Mm - to IT00 business process and sub process. So, all the roles are now uploaded to the system. I was just curious to know if they can me made Non-mandatory field by any settings.
But anyways, thanks for your input.

How does BPP (business process platform ) impacts SOA practice in SAP

hello All,
what is you take on impact of BPP on SOA practice in SAP .

Theo,
Like Ravi says: SAP positions Aris for all bp modelling activities and the underlying applications for all bp execution activities.
You only mention CAF and XI as types of these underlying applications but you do not mention "normal" applications like SAP R/3 (which handles human workflow by "NetWeaver workflow"). I think NetWeaver workflow (bp execution) will be managed from Aris in the future as well (bp modelling). This also answers you second question: workflow on the purchase process in R/3 is managed by NetWeaver workflow on R/3 (execution level). You don't need a CAF development for that.
The link between CAF guided procedures and NetWeaver workflow in an integrated business process / scenario is handled by XI-BPM.
1. If you want to support a business proces or scenario by application logic, I think you first look at the functionality of (a) existing application(s), if necessary linked together by XI-BPM. If existing applications do not gather the right information you jump to CAF (picking up running services via XI-BPM).
2. NetWeaver workflow (see before).
3. I think you miss NetWeaver workflow here and BI for Business Activity Monitoring. BAM is a coop by Aris and BI in the future I think.
Just some thought. What do you think?
Regards, Rik

SAP NetWeaver 7.0: Importing Process Integration Content

Hello all,
I have newly installed XI system (NetWeaver 7.0 with PI) with Support Package Stack 14. I wanted to import PI content as describe in note 836200, but after choosing the package - import source in Integration Builder Design - I have the message
Connection to server lost You can log on again once the server is available again Do you want to log on again?
And if I put the password everything seems be ok - message is: Reconnection to server was successful. Repeat the action. But if I repeat the action, problem with lost connection appears again and again.
Also interesting is that Export design objects from Repository is not working - the same error as I wrote for Import, but Export from Directory works well. At the moment we are using file system for transport.
Can you help me where could be the problem?
Best regards,
Slavomir Kysel.

Hello Sreedhar,

Hello Gurus,
I am planning installation of SAP Net Weaver - SR2 on Windows Server 2003 ( 32 Bit ) and oracle 10g is my database.

Read SAp note Note 1108852 - SAP NetWeaver 7.0 / Business Suite 2005 SR3: Windows
it says:
21/MAY/08
SAP system installation only supported on 64-bit operating systems, except for dialog instances
As of SAP NetWeaver 7.0 SR3 and Business Suite 2005 SR3, SAP only supports to install dialog instances on 32-bit operating systems. All remaining SAP system instances (central instance, database instance, central services instance (SCS), ABAP central services instance (ASCS)) must be installed on 64-bit operating systems. Therefore the folder "SAP Systems" is not available on the "Welcome screen", when you start the installation from a installation master DVD for 32-bit.
You might need to install dialog instances on 32-bit if you want to use 32-bit SAP NetWeaver components, such as Adobe document services. We recommend, however, to first check whether these 32-bit components can run on 64-bit operating systems. If so, we recommend to also use 64-bit systems for these components, including the dialog instance.
If you want to install a non-productive SAP NetWeaver 7.0 SR3 based system (test systems or development are normally productive systems) on 32-bit, proceed as follows:
1. Install a SAP NetWeaver 7.0 SR2 (SAP ERP 2005 SR2, SAP CRM 5.0 SR2 SAP SCM 5.0 SR2, SAP SRM 5.0 SR2) system.
2. Patch this system to SAP NetWeaver 7.0 SR3 (SAP ERP 6.0, SAP CRM 5.0 SR3, SAP SCM 5.0 SR3, SAP SRM 5.0 SR3).

Having variations of same business process, How to model?

Customer has several variations of the same business process. How to model them in Solution manager's project implementation tools? I actually created this same question in 'Business process expert' forum, so please read the whole story there and earn your points there.
Having variations of same business process, How to model?
Best regards,
Kimmo

Hi Kimmo,
I wouldn't use process steps to refine processes. This is incompatible to SAP implementation content coming from BPR (Business Process Repository). But a good idea would be to copy the main business process e.g. "Sales order processing" into two new processes on the same level, e.g. "Sales order processing by manual input" (variation1) or "Sales order processing by incoming interface" (variation2). Then you can use the Compare Button on the variations to see if any changes have been on the main business process and copy them to the variations. This minimizes the effort to keep track of changes after creating the variations. When you run transaction SA_PROJECT_UPGRADE on that project these changes even get flagged. Mostly this function is used to upgrade against BPR or a template project but it works also for copies inside a project e.g. to model variations.
Regards
Andreas

New to business process modelling

Hello all,
I am new to business process modelling.Can anyone suggest a case study / link / download which can take me through a example of modelling a business process ( eg procure to pay , order to cash etc) . I would be more interested from AFS ( apparel and soft good industry ) scenarios.

Dear Mandar,
I will put the format of traceability matrix in Wiki as lot of people have requested me for this. Weightages we use for evaluating differences between client's expected std processes and builiding block (SAP ) std processess again depends on the interaction between client and the consulting company. As the more deviation is more standard proces, the more is the cost to develop and further maintain Z-functionalities.
A method used to validate the compliance of a process or product with the requirements for that process or product. The requirements are each listed in a row of the matrix and the columns of the matrix are used to identify how and where each requirement has been addressed.
Basic details of Traceability Matrix:
Description
A table that traces the requirements to the system deliverable component for that stage that responds to the requirement.
Size and Format
For each requirement, identify the component in the current stage that responds to the requirement. The requirement may be mapped to such items as a hardware component, an application unit, or a section of a design specification.
BASELINE TRACEABILITY MATRIX
Description
A table that documents the requirements of the system for use in subsequent stages to confirm that all requirements have been met.
Size and Format
Document each requirement to be traced. The requirement may be mapped to such things as a hardware component, an application unit, or a section of a design specification.
Traceability Matrix Table (Sample)
Identifier Requirement
Priority (e.g., (M)andatory, (D)esirable, or (O)ptional) Change Requests
Module (or Hardware Component, Application Unit, Deliverable Section, e.g., Design Specification) Test Case or Test Scenario
Change the topics as appropriate for the project and traceability matrix function.
Add a line for each requirement, for example:
1 Accounts Payable
1.1 Maintains multiple bank accounts for payment purposes M CR003 Setup Bank Information S1

Installing sap netweaver 7.0 ehp1

dear all
im working in omnix international llc Jordan company
i need to install netweaver 7.0 ehp1 i recently received the DVD which its 30dvd with the ERP 6.0 and oracle database
and with blue-ray 25 giga that contain solution manager
i think that to start installing ERP i should install netweaver before so i check the master guide and i see that its helpless
so if any one have an idea how to start installing sap netweaver and then installing ERP and what hardware i need for the installation or any useful document that could help please post because i think the installation is the biggest challange im facing in my career .
regards

Hi,
The installation is easy, not to worry
Go to the link Sunny has provided. Here you will find the Installation guides for both ERP and Netweaver.
In case you need a standalone Netweaver system, then in the instguides link, goto SAP Netweaver-> SAP Netweaver 7.0-> Installation. When you scroll down, take the guide under Installation-> SAP Netweaver systems. Based on your platform you can easily install. The tool used for installation is SAPINST.
The same holds good for ERP. You do not have to install Netweaver first and then ERP. YOu can directly install a ERP system in which the Netweaver components will automatically come. The guides for reference is in the link Sunny provided under SAP Business Suite Applications-> SAP ERP. You take the Installation master DVD for Business Suite-> goto ERP. Again SAPINST is the tool used. The installaton guide will very well tell you the steps. Ensure the Database is installed before starting the installation of the SAP system.
