3 system and 4 system landscape - Charm

Dear All,
We have 3 system landsacpe for ECC and 4 System Landscape for BI?
Is it possible to configure CHaRM for these landscape?
If yes, please give me step by step guidelines.
How to create Maintenance Cycle?
Raj

Hi Raj,
This is possible. The three system landscape is the usual scenario. In four system landscap, you just need to add a pre-production system in your landscape.
Go to the Wiki http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/SM/Weblogs%20related%20to%20Solution%20Manager and search for Change Request Management. There are some 10 docs available there. Specifically have a look on
First steps to work with Change Request Management scenario
/people/dolores.correa/blog/2008/07/26/first-steps-to-work-with-change-request-management-scenario
Call service.sap.com/rkt-solman. You can find the materials for project prepration, corrections etc.
Call SPRO in your solman system and go through the documentation provided there.
This will give you adequate information for configuring ChaRM.

System and System Alias Creation

Hi all,
we have developed iViews in EP5. Now we want to migrate all our iViews to Ep6.. we have problem in EP6 for system and system alias creation..
in EP5 we have 2 files called System.xml for defining the system and JCODestination.xml..
after creating systems in System.xml.. we will define all system properties in like router string ,client no,and system number for each sap system in JCODestination.xml ..
and these systems we will map to the user in which will come all the defined Systems to combo box
and we will define the systems in default.properties file and we will use in the par development...
I heared that there are no System.xml and JCODestination.xml files in EP6 Netweaver Component....
can you please any one advise me how to get configured System and System Alias in EP6 NetWever... and how to call in coding...
I need a detailed steps how to create SAP System Alias.. since i am connecting to SAP System and Calling Function Modules and BAPIS From My Application(iViews).....
I need a Detailed Explaination Step by Step Explanation ..
your help will be required for me.. and appreciated to the great extent......
Thanks and Regards

After following the steps above in system landscape
please do the following to fill in the parameters
Select connector under the property category.
PlZ make sure that you have provided ApplicationHost(the host name of backend system), LogicalSystemName(can be found from transaction scc4,just dounle click on the client to see the logical name use saplogon and logon to the backend system R3 in this case) ,SAP Client(can be found from transaction code scc4), SAP SystenID,SAP System Number and Server port.
After that create a System Alias for that system by selecting System Aliases under display.( This is important. I had the same kind of problem this should slove it).
Now make sure that you have user mapping set for the backend R3 System(User Administration-->User Maping search for the user and choose edit. Then choose the system alias name form the drop down box and provide the login details for the backend system).
Try to test the connection by selecting connection tests under display. If it doesnot work plz copy paste the whole error message.
The message should look something like the one below
Test Connection with Connector - Jan 1, 1970 2:35:42 PM
Test Details:
The test consists of the following steps:
1. Retrieve the default alias of the system
2. Check the connection to the backend application using the connector defined in this system object
Results
Retrieval of default alias successful
Connection successful
Let me know if you need any more details

Difference betwwen system and system alais

Hi All,
What is the System Object and System alias ?
Why can'y we access the system object with out system alias what is the reason for creating system alias for system object ?
In ESS configuration he is asking to create 3 to 4 system objects with different system aliases. Why can't we create single system object and assign all three system aliases to that object?
Thanks and Regards,
Phanikumar.

> Hi All,

> What is the System Object and System alias ?
A system object is a Portal Object that represents the backed system by means of sprecifying the system ID, client number, WebAs URL etc. The runtime uses this to call the call backend transactions/RFC's using JCo.
>

> for system object ?
The system is known to the outside world viz. iViews etc through its alias. Its like a Name for your system. You can have more than one alias for your system just like many people may call u by different names.
>

The reason behind this is that the ESS objects e.g. ITS iviews, Transactions WD iviews etc have in their System refernce different aliases. SO to allow these applications to execute we need to have that many aliases iplying creating that many systems.

Hope this helps.
If so consider rewarding points.

Previous Systems and System?

When I highlight my Macintosh HD the folders all pop up... there is a previous systems folder and a system folder... does anyone know what the difference is between the two? I have a feeling that this previous systems folder with all the crap in it is taking up more memory in my computer than it needs to.

The Previous Systems folder contains files left over after an Archive & Install; it can safely be deleted after verifying that there's nothing in it that you want or need. The System folder is essential for Mac OS X to operate.

Full production refresh to development systems and Charm?

Hi SDN Community,
Where I work we have a policy of refreshing the development systems (ECC, CRM, APO, BI, SRM) on an annual basis with full production system data, HR data is subsequently wiped clean from the development system.
For each of our systems we have a development system, a QA system and a production system.
The decision to do these full refreshes was taken to ensure that developers and configurers can do decent testing in the Dev environments - prior to transporting to our QA system - to ensure that we have a reasonably stable QA system. Prior to the refreshes - QA was considered too unstable by our business to be used as a good test platform - the full D refreshes solved this problem.
We have recently installed SAP Charm (Change request management) which is a solution manager based product that manages the transportation of objects in change requests - attached to maintenance cycles.
During our first development system refresh we discovered that all open Charm projects (maintenance cycles) were placed into an unuseable status due to the refresh. This means we had to rebuild all of the Charm projects after the refresh - which took a considerable amount of time + resources and delayed project work. We don't want to be in this situation again for our next refresh.
SAPs response to us has been that they have no other customer that does full Development system refreshes - and also has Charm. I wonder if this is accurate, I think what SAP are saying is that they don't have many Charm customers... Is refreshing Development so uncommon?
We are considering products like SAPs TDMS - and alternatives (eg gold client) - but most of these appear a little immature - for refreshing complex system landscapes - such as ours and keeping everything in synch after the refresh.
My questions to SDN -
What do you do - do you do full refreshes to your D systems?
If not - what are the arguments against refreshing D systems (is this considered bad practice)?
Are there any other Charm customers out there in a similar situation to us?
How do you manage the stability of your QA environments and stop the transport into QA systems of untested changes - if your D systems are not similar to you production system
(note we have some 300 active users in just our ECC development system)?
Any suggestions / recommendations as to how to best proceed would be greatly appreciated.
many thanks in advance,
Julian Phillips

Thanks Naushad for your reply,
I wonder if D refreshes are less common - more due to the additional hardware costs incurred (disk space needed to store full production data is usually pretty large) to do them - than due to avoiding disrupting development - probably a bit of both.
I did not mention this - but in our refresh we do reimport all transports that we open prior to the refresh - which used to solve our problems - in terms of restoring active changes - but with SAPs Charm system - this approach does not work as the Charm projects are left in an inconsistent status.
We are now leaning towards introducing a 4th set of systems into our landscape - so that we have the following platforms:
Development ---> Pre QA ---> QA ---> Production
This approach will allow us to keep both the Pre QA and QA systems refreshed every 6 months or so - and our new Dev system - we will refresh very infrequently (every 5 years perhaps) if at all. We will tie the Charm system to our new development - and this system will then not be impacted by refreshes. This approach means additional hardware cost - but as it happens we have a few spare boxes - so this maybe our best bet.
The core reason for our refresh is so that we will be able to preserve the stability of our QA test platform - which for us is the critical factor here. If QA has poorly tested work in it - we run a higher risk of disrupting other testing and also of this poorly tested work reaching production.
When we used to have a development system as you described and just the single QA box - we experienced frequent instability in our QA box - due to poorly tested working reaching it - and this delayed numerous projects.
Does anyone else have a 4 box setup like this? Anyone else encountered this on an SAP project anywhere? Pros / Cons of this approach?

4 System Landscape // ChaRM // No Export System found

Hi Folks,
I got some problems with a 4 system landscape in ChaRM.
The error message I get when doing a consistency check within my SMI project is:
Message from function module /TMWFLOW/CHECK_PRJ_CONS: No export system for NWA-303
Message no. /TMWFLOW/TRACK_N159
Transport route should be as follows:
DEV -> QAS -> INT -> PRD
Since I am still in testing phase I used clients instead of real systems in my configuration (TMS, Logical component,....)
My configuration looks like this:
NWA client 300 -> 301, transport layer ZCHM, transport layer SAP, consolidation
NWA client 301 -> 302, delivery
NWA client 302 -> 303, delivery
Logical Component defined as follows:
Developement System (Source: SAP): NWA:300
Type of Role: D Source System
Quality Assurance System (Source: SAP): NWA:301
Type of Role: O Target System
Integration System (Source: User): NWA:302
Type of Role: O Target System
Production System (Source: SAP): NWA:303
Type of Role: P Production System
Anyone got an idea what is wrong? did I miss anything?
The same configuration works for a 3-tier Landscape (without Integration System).
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

CHARM and System Copy (Database Copy)

Dear All,
Does anyone have experience on managing System Copy (Database Copy) on the SAP Landscape which are implementing Centralize CHARM on Solution Manager?
<b><u>Case:</u></b>
Transport route : DEV --> QAS --> PRD
CHARM centralize managed in: SLM.
Now, QAS will be refreshed from PRD (by Database Copy) .
How to ensure the following will be kept consistence:
1. IMG Status on satelite systems
2. SMI Project data linked to satelite systems
3. Support Desk data (Support/notification messages, Business
Partner,iBase,etc) related with CHARM linked to satelite systems
4. Status of SMI Project cycle data linked to satelite systems
I have tried it on Simulation landscape, seems many manually steps need to be done (eg. Redo all RFC definitions to the refreshed system) and some of above data are inconsistence ..
Thanks and regards,
Hery

Dear Hery,
Please refer to SAP Note 985692 "Copying a satellite system: Change

I hope that it answers most of your queries as well.

System Landscape and system alias

Dear All EP Expert,
I have some general questions.
1) If i wanted to connect my EP 7.0 to backend ECC 6. Is there any specific name that i must use for my system landscape and system alias?
2) Is the system lanscape come in when i include the business package?
3) Where can i download the latest ESS and MSS business package?
Can someone assist me on this?
Thanks you in advance...
Regards,
Bryan

Hi Brian ,
you cal also download latest ESS and MSS business packages from -->
download the business package from service market place.
Navigate through Downloads --> SAP Support Package --> Entry by Application group --> SAP Application Components --> SAP ERP --> SAP ERP2005 -->Entry Point by component -->SAP XSS Self - Service --> SAP ESS 600.
and similar for MSS 600 business package.
You cal also refer to this Note for further details about Self Services Business Packages.
[Note 1004528|https://websmp130.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/sapnotes/index2.htm?numm=1004528]
Hope this helps.
And Regarding System Alias names, there is no such specific name you should keep, as no standard name exists , read more about it on.
[system aliases|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/e9/9bc93f92908032e10000000a11405a/frameset.htm]
Also,
System Aliases and SAP Systems
For SAP systems (BW, CRM, and so on), it is recommended to use a system alias that has as its name parameter the logical system name as defined in the SAP system itself. The logical system is specified in Table T000 in the SAP system.

System Landscape and System Group

Hi
I am trying to find out the difference between adding a system to a System Group and Adding a system to a System Group in System Landscape Directory.
I know that adding to a system group has effect on the transport routes while transporting.However not sure how adding a system to a landscape would impact.
Thanks in advance..

HI,
In one sentence, system landscape contains all the SAP Systems that you have installed. It contains several system groups.

Cannot create Portal System and Alias in System Landscape in Portal

hallo all,
i want to install vc, therefore i need to create an Portal System and Alias.
this i should do in system landscape in the portal
(System Admin -> System config -> System landscape )!
but when i open it, it is loading and loading and nothing happens!
can someone tell me, what problem that could be?
ep 7.0 is installed and i want to connect to ERP 2005 ECC 6.0.
regards Vartan

Vartan,
The VC needs a portal in order to run - it needs to borrow the core portal and J2EE functionaliy as the VC components only bring in VC specific applications.
One question to ask, based upon personal experience, is what browser are you using here please? For instance, I've hit this issue when working from Firefox (1.5 or 2.0) but not when I'm running the same link in IE 6.0.
Just a thought. Let me know how you do.
Cheers,
Tim

Project landscape and system landscape

hi all
what is thifference between system landscape and project landscape??
anil

Hi Anil,
System landscape:
They system landscape basically is the set-up or arrangement of your SAP servers. Ideally, in an SAP environment, a three-system landscape exists. A three-system landscape consists of the Development Server-DEV, Quality Assurance Server-QAS and the Production Server-PROD. This kind of set-up is not primarily designed to serve as server clusters in case of system failure, the objective to enhance "configuration pipeline management".
A Typical SAP Three-System Landscape.
At this juncture, it is important to state that a test system - Sandbox can also exit separately. The essence of the sandbox is to test the configuration of the business processes of a company, especially at the inception of the project (before the Business Blue Print is signed). It can also serve as a practice environment, even after go-live.
Pipeline is the environment where the configuration in the development system is moved to the quality assurance system and finally to the production system. The whole idea is to ensure that the configuration of these systems is in sync at any point in time. Suffice to say that, configuration/changes are first made in the Development system, thoroughly tested in the Quality Assurance system before been loaded into the production (Live) system.
This approach throws up the transport management system concept. Transport management system is the coordination of the movement of objects and configuration changes from the development system to the Quality Assurance system and then to the Production system. At times, this sequence of movement is not possible, especially in cases where an SAP note mandates that changes be made directly on the production system.
In such rare cases, objectively confirm that the change transport cannot be performed. Very likely, your system must have been configured to "not modifiable" (a system locking strategy that enforces the three-system landscape change transport rule); unlock the system by changing the global setting option to "modifiable" using transaction SE03. After you have done that, effect the change(s) on the system. Immediately lock the system back by changing the global setting option to "not modifiable" using transaction SE03. Replicate the changes on the other system. Note that transaction SCC4 can also be used to lock the system so that client dependent and independent configuration changes are not carried out directly on the production system.
By and large, the SAP system landscape ensures that the integrity of data is enhanced via enforcing a controlled configuration changes effect on the target system - production.
Project landscape:
It's about the kind of soultion customer would be implementation in his project. Like CRM, SCM, ERP.
Reward points if it helpful.
