SoD rules maintenance: in DEV, QAS or PRD

Hello colleagues,
Could you please help with recommendations for SoD rules maintenance process?
Where to maintain SoD rules: in DEV AC system, QAS (and then transfer to PRD) or directly in PRD AC?
Thanks,
Anton.

Hi Frank,
Thank you for response!
In case rules are exported from DEV and then imported ro PRD then we lose history of function change.
May be you have any additional recommendations for AC usage :
1. Which department is usually responsible for SoD rules transporting for Production: e.g. Risk Department, Basis?
2. How does usually SoD rules change management process set up? Risk Department often does not know authorization model of SAP in details (especially for certain SAP Module), implementation or support team usually does not take care of SoD risks. Normal situation is when SAP ERP was implemented several years ago and now Risk Department is established with some business knowledge but without detail understanding of SAP security model (authorization objects, fields, etc.)
Thanks in advance,
Anton.

What is the average duration of 1 full SAP life cycle or 1 end-to-end implementation. How long does it take to prepare DEV, QAS and PRD?

What is the average duration of 1 full SAP life cycle or 1 end-to-end implementation. How long does it take to prepare DEV, QAS and PRD in any company?

Anand,
let me start with saying that the question you ask may not help you to determine the duration of your project. As Ryan and others stated the duration of the project is highly dependent on the scope of the solution you are implementing, geographical scope, amount of modifications/enhancements, number of languages, number of users that need to be trained, amount of standard processes customer is able to re-use in the implementation and many other factors (like quality of implementation contractor you will chose and availability of customer and implementors resources). I can probably go on for another couple lines, but I guess you get the idea.
With that out of the way let's talk about some example implementations that will give you an idea - Ryan did great job outlining what I would call traditional approach above. I have couple examples where customers leveraged innovative deployment strategies that are available today. In particular the project teams leveraged pre-packaged services like RDS, World Template or Best Practices as their baseline solution and they built from there. Second acceleration technique customers now leverage is the deployment in the SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud to accelerate the time to initial setup of the system and thus move from traditional blueprinting to scope validation exercise that further shortens the time. There are other acceleration techniques we see applied in some cases like use of iterative implementation of the delta requirements on top of the baseline solution.
Let me offer few examples to illustrate what I explained above:
ERP implementation at Schaidt Innovations with 3 months long deployment of ERP solution using ERP RDS as a baseline (you can view their testimonial here - Schaidt Innovations: SAP ERP on HANA in the cloud - YouTube)
Customer in Asia with global template deployment that leveraged SAP ERP for Manufacturing with deployment to cloud and 9 countries rollout (Japan, Korea, China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, UK, Germany and US). The initial deployment took 4 months for first country and 2 months for rollout into the additional 8 countries - so total of 6 months. The original plan using traditional approach with full blueprint and heavy configuration was estimated to be more than double of the actual deployment time.
There are many other examples where customers follow the assemble-to-order delivery model for their project and gain significant benefits doing so. I suggest you to review some of the recordings we did in 2013 about this approach and if you are member of ASUG review the Agile ASAP sessions we did for ASUG PM SIG.

How to compare versions of DMEE Format Tree in DEV, QAS and PRD

Hi,
Is there a way to compare version of the DMEE Format Tree in DEV, QAS and PRD? I would just like to ensure that version in DEV is in sync with the ones in QAS and PRD before I do my changes. It seems that Version Management of Transaction DMEE can;t compare the versions in the three systems. Thank you very much for your inputs.
Best regards.
Brando

Brando.
DMEE is a standard transaction which will be in sync with all the servers in your landscape unless there is any customisation done and the request is not yet moved.What problem are you facing when you are trying to do REMOTE COMPARISION ?

Overhead Rates Maintenance in DEV,QAS & PRD Systems

Hello All,
I need your expert advice on this topic. "What is the best practice to maintain OH rates in SAP Systems across the landscape". Any link to document, whitepaper or knowledge link is very welcome.
I am aware that it can be maintained after making the system modifiable. But being a basis guy, i am against this method and am on the look out for the best process to do it.
Points will be awarded for sure for worthy answers.
Best Regards,
Sri

Hi,
To define the overhead method, choose:
Period-end closing->Single functions->Accrual calculation->Extras ® Settings->Percentage method, or
Planning->Planning aids->Accrual calculation->Extras->Settings->Percentage method
Using the overhead structure display for the given controlling area, you can maintain, create, or call up information on accrual calculations for selected objects.
To do so, choose one of the following objects either by double-clicking on it or by choosing Goto from the menu:
Base (basis for calculation): You specify the base cost elements that are to be assigned overhead per controlling area. Choose Where-used list->Overhead structure or Controlling area to display whether and where the base cost element assignments exist.
O/H rate (overhead rates): Determines plan and actual overhead rate percentages for each controlling area applying to a particular validity period. On the overhead list screen, the Assignments indicator shows whether individual overhead rates exist.
To check the assignment of the current object (calculation base, overhead rate, or credit) and to display the assignments per controlling area, per overhead structure and the structures not used, when maintaining the above-mentioned accrual data, choose Where-used list-> Overhead structures or Controlling area (see: Where-Used List for Accrual Calculations).
Controlling->Cost Center Accounting-> Planning->Planning Aids->Accrual Calculation-> Percentage Method->Maintain Overhead Structure.
- Actual Postings->Period-End Closing->Accrual Calculation->Percentage Method-> Maintain Overhead Structure.
Save your entries.
Hope this helps you.

Risks when maintain only one SolMan system for DEV, QAS and PRD systems

What are the risks involved when maintaining only one solution manager system for entire client landscape(Small size).
Or No risks are involved?
Or Is this the SAP rrecommended approach for small size landscapes?
One SolMan system -> DEV and QAS and another SolMan system -> PRD.

Anand: Risks Involved depends on what all aspects\Scenarios the Solution Manager System is used for. It Could be used for the following purposes
1) Service Desk
2) Solution Monitoring
3) System Monitoring
4) Change Management
How do you propose to use the Solman system ?

Anand: This is the most idealistic and SAP recommended way of using Solman....it always better to have it this way no matter in how many scenarios you intend to use Solman for....

Dev qas and prd set up with different clients

good day experts,
If I have 3 different clients in PRD, is it recommended to have 3 qas and 3 dev clients as well? For instance, 3 clients in PRD which are 500, 510, and 520; do I have to have 300,310,320 for qas and 200, 210, and 220 for dev? for we have difference configurations and settings on difference clients.
Please suggest! Thank you in advance!

Hi,
It is not mandatory that you have three clients in all system. General approach is as below:
1) Development System- Sandbox Client, Development Client, Golden Master Client
2) Quality System- Testing Client, Pre-Production client (not require always)
3) Production System- One Production Client (If there is any special requirement then you can create more client)
Thanks

10g Upgrade Order (DEV - QAS - PRD)

If I am upgrading Oracle 9.2.0.6 to 10.2.0.2, what issues will I face if I upgrade the landscape in the order of DEV, QAS, PRD.
I will wait a week between upgrades.
Will transports fail?
Will SAP face any issues having different Oracle versions?
Do I have to upgrade DEV, QAS, PRD at the same time?

-> transports will not fail as long as the sap release will not change...
-> normally all sap systems should run smoothly on supported database platforms...10g should be no problem...the three system reside on different hosts?
to be sure (sap states that different kernel releases within one system landscape can lead to problems) try to keep the time between QAS and PRD very short and avoid transporting...
-> no, you don't have to upgrade all systems at the same time...a week between DEV and QAS is enough

3-tier vs. 2-tier system architecture (DEV- QAS- PRD)

Dear Xperts,
I would like to know your opinion about a 3-tier (DEV->QAS->PRD) vs 2-tier (DEV/QAS->PRD) BW system architecture.
Why should you choose for 3 instead of 2, or the other way around. Thus pro's & cons.
Thx.
regards,
JvB
ps xcuse me 4 the cross-post in the 2004s part. It should be posted in this forum.

Hello
2 Tier architecture will have Presentation Layer and DataBase Layer. So each and every time we have to access the Database directly and this may affect the DB Performance and if the number of concurrent users are more then it will be worser.
in 3 Tier case another layer "Application layer" has been incorporated as an intermediate between the above said 2 layers and this prevents the direct access to the DB. The performance is not highly affected. can Manage multiple concurrent users.
Heard about 4 tier came and installation process going in in Gulf. (not sure)

Different Sales Organization in CRM DEV,QAS,PRD

Hi,
Is anyone knows how to correct inconsistent sales organization in DEV, QAS & PRD, meaning number series of sales organization units in DEV is not same with the QAS and PRD. With this situation, pricing in CRM online and internet sales is not consistent with what in R/3 and i'm getting error while doing CRMD_ORDER.
Please help! Rewards await.
Thank you very much.
Earl G. Faren

Hi Ravi Yadav,
Thank you for the reply!
I tried transporting the Org model but still when I tried creating a sales order using CRMD_ORDER, the system still unable to get the right base/list price and then when I check one of the condition tables (CNCCRMPRSAP004 & CNCCRMPRSAP005) it still contains the wrong sales org unit number series. Do I need to do the initial loading R3AS (R/3 to CRM)? to overwrite the entries of those condition tables?
Please advise what to do next.
Thank you.

Defining SLD Target Systems for DEV, QAS & PRD

In a 3 tier XI landscape (DEV, QAS, PRD) which of the following two scenarios is best?
1. In the SLD define each DEV Business System with a target of the corresponding QAS Business System and define each QAS Business System with a target of the corresponding PRD Business System.
DEV ---> QAS ---> PRD
This means that we export ID objects from DEV and then import them into QAS. The objects then need to be exported from QAS for import into PRD
2. In the SLD define the DEV Business Systems with 2 target systems relating to corresponding QAS and PRD Business Systems.
DEV --> QAS
DEV --> PRD
This means that the same export from DEV can be used for import to both QAS and PRD.
Currently we have scenario 1 implemented but I am thinking of changing this to scenario 2 which I believe is a better solution as only one export is required and it is guaranteed that the same objects are being imported into QAS and PRD.
Any thoughts or comments?

Hi Mark,
I dont think thats a good thing to go with. When you are exporting, how are you going to control in CMS as to which environment you are going to export?
CMS itslef works on the principle of Develop->QA->PRD. This way, when you are in QA and found some bugs and fix them, you can export them all to QA. Finally you assemble them at QA and finally import them to PRD. This way, all the chaged objects later on would also get imported to PRD automatically.
Also As per my knowledge, in SLD, one target bus sys can have mulitple sources but the converse is not true.

Can we transport BW QUERY VARIANT (created in DEV) to QAS and PRD?

Hi gurus,
I created a lot of QUERY VARIANT ( parameters saved when we execute queries ) in BW DEV.
I am using those variants in my Analisys Process Designer and i do not want to create again in QAS and PRD.
Somebody knows how to transport those variants?
Is possible to assign by SE03? What is the code that object?
Thanks for any Help!!!
Carlos Eduardo Olinto

I transported my Query Variants.
- Variants must be created in DEV
- Download the records from:
> tables
RSRVARIANT
RSRVARIANTDIR
RSRVARIANTTXT
> Filter Field: VARI = "Query Variants Code"
- Create request in DEV
- Assign R3TR TABU <Table name>
Tables:
RSRVARIANT
RSRVARIANTDIR
RSRVARIANTTXT
- Save the contents in each table (Only KEY FIELDS)
- Verify the Lenght in each field, it must be correct (no spaces for each Field)
I hope it helps you!

Adding logical systems in SMSY SPQ(Qas),SPP(prd) and SDP(dev)

Hi,
we are implementing solman 7.1 sp08.
while configuring Managed system for java side SPQ(quality) is added successfully and also generating the EWA reports. But the SPD(dev) and SPP(prd) are not showing the SID while browsing. Please can any help regarding this issue.
Please find the below attached screen shot.

Hi,
Probably they are associated with a different product/software, and in that case, the system cannot match the 3 systems.

SOLMAN 4.0 SR2 connect to SAP R/3 Three System landscape (DEV QA and PRD)

Hi,
We have successfully installed SOLMAN 4.0 SR2 (ABAP + JAVA) on
WIN2003 SP2 EE MSSQL 2005 EE SP1.
I just want to activate the service so that SOLMAN could see my existing SAP R/3 4.6 C Three system landscape (DEV QAS PRD).
I heard settings should be done on SPRO IMG configs. Could anyone tell me the exact procedure to navigate on it. I see a lot of buttons to config and execute, Just want to make sure everything will be in order.
My SLD is directly installed locally on my SOLMAN server.
Thanks,
Simoun

Hello Simoun,
Telling from your last sentence I assume that you would like to connect SolMan (transaction SMSY) to your locally installed SLD or in other words: replicate SLD system data into SOLMAN system landscape SMSY.
Please check this document:
http://service.sap.com/~form/sapnet?_SHORTKEY=01100035870000538663&_SCENARIO=01100035870000000202&_OBJECT=011000358700000530282007E
Here you find information covering prerequisites, required SAP Solution Manager IMG configuration to connect SLD and SMSY and frequently ask questions (FAQ-like).
I hope this helps you to get started.
Regards,
Doreen
