Incident management and Critical Master data table change management.

Dears,
I need to configure Incident management and Critical Master data table change management on our solman 7.0 server.
I want to know how many days should be required for this activity and please share documents.
Shivam

Hi,
I faced a similar situation,
I tried all the possible ways like activating InfoObject manually, Through an activation program of aggregates,
Also ran RSRV check which was showing no negative results.
I raised an OSS note for the same but after that when SAP returned back the process chian ran again as it is a daily load which activated the record in 'M'.
I ask you to wait till the next process chian run, and try all possible ways to activate.
If it is not corrected then raise an oss to SAP.
Thanks & Regards,
Vishnu

Maintenance Optimizer - Under Change Management in solman_workcenter

Hello,
If I go to transaction solution_manager and navigate to the Maintenance Optimizer in our solman system, I see dozens of lines of maintenance requests. Furthermore, I go start a new transaction and I will be shown the appropriate logical components which are assigned to the solution landscape that I chose when entering solution_manager/dswp.
However, when I use solman_workcenter instead (which is the direction that we want to go), and then go to the change management tab, and click on maintenance optimizer, I am not shown any maintenance requests. Furthermore, when I try to start a new transaction, the logical components are not displayed and I cannot choose the system for which I want to the transaction for.
Am I missing some configuration or setup within SOLMAN_WORKCENTER which is preventing me from being placed into the appropriate Solution Landscape?
Thank you.

John,

Business Process Modeling and Organizational Change Management

Many Change Management interventions are based on the business understanding the TO BE processes, how the process will change end-to-end, including not only the processes within SAP but also how they will interface with the entire application landscape. Id like to hear experiences and best practices. Who, how and when should those business process models be completed? What would be the role of Change Management in this piece?

Hi Claudia
Very interesting question!. This is the most challenging task an org unit is facing today. Before implementation you must be able to foresee what impact a new end to end business process would have on the present organizational set up. To visualize you need to have people who has knowledge in their respective business. It is no easy task. That is why you need to break & analyse each process in minute detail and compare to be process with the present process. To have an effective process in place you have to examine who is the Business process owner, if the owner does not follow or comply with the new process what is the risk involved, & what makes it mandatory that the process owner follows it and so is all down the line managers. What I mean to say is that by analyzing each and every new process you should be able to derive some KPI from this. This is how control can be built. This is all simple management technique but I have seen many new processes in ERP failing or not being used because of lack of Management control. I have answered who & how part. Now coming back to when part. The change management initiative has to start long before the actual ERP implementation. One has to prepare the organisation for taking a massive leap from a mere paper based organisation to accepting a system that can touch almost any business application. An organisation which has not prepared itself to accept the changes and hurriedly implements a system for the sake of project completion can see that the benefits projected in the business case may never be realized.

Urgently! In Hyperion web analysis font and color can not be changed

In Hyperion web analysis, when I want to set or change font, a null dialogbox appear ; when I click and want to set or change color, nothing happen,even no dialogbox appears. Why?
My Oracle Hyperion Performance Management version is v11.1.1.2.
thanks advance!

Hello,
As far as I know from Metalink, there is a same problem with Japanese locale in WA. For cyrillic language, which I use, I've been advised by Oracle tech persons to set the same settings in all regionals (Standard and formats, location, and Advanced -> Non unicode) and IE language preference (or use English everywhere as temporary workaround), which worked for me. May be WA has some additional issues in Java color/font selection dialogs when using non-English locales.
If you have Metalink access, you can search for bug ID # 8538102, according to it, this problem will be fixed in 11.1.2 release of EPM.

Public Change Management indicator and mid-year reassignment in new GL

Dear experts,
I have two questions on documentation at help.sap.com
here http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/b3/fa3a95ecd9465c82957992e30e1ff2/frameset.htm
it is said that:
1. "You can use the SAP document change interface to reassign original documents by setting the Public Change Management indicator when converting the worklist."
I run FMCT transaction and can not find this "Public Change Management" indicator. Where should I look for it?
2. "When you update in new General Ledger Accounting an FM account assignment that is to be reassigned, a mid-year reassignment is not possible"
Does this mean that I can not do a mid-year reassignment, if I use the new General Ledger Accounting?
Thank you in advance!
Irina

Hi Irina, as I know this applies if the FM account assignment element is an split charateristic in the New GL, for example the Fund, if the fund accounting scenario is active.

Minimum steps required for Change Management and Incident management

Hello experts,
Does anyone have a check list of the absolute minimum steps required for getting Change Management and Incident management functioning in Solution Manager.
I just need it to function with creating changes and incidents and be able to assign them, change their status and close them.
The purpose is to get an idea if this is something for us to use. If we then find it useable, then we will go for a full scale implementation using official guides, education etc.
I just need an absolute minimum guide for demonstrating the functions, and if you guys have any recommendations, things we should pay special attention to or other experiences feel free to tell me.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Kenneth

Change Management. Cannot go to the next phase ... And common questions.

Hi dear colleagues!
Here there are some unpleasant problems which has arisen during Change Management functions realization...
1. After approving of Urgent Correction by so-called "Change Manager", "developer" couldn't set it status "in development" -> and begin corrections in DEV system. It outputs in status bar: "NO ACTIONS IN THE WORK LIST".
2. How should i link some urgent correction (or simply Service Message) to a specific Maintenance Cycle?
The same problem I cannot go to the next phase, system outputs that "No Maintenance Cycle is open for the current system".
3. And please can u explain in a simple words: Should i always make a maintenance project for using "Change Management" functions?
4. Can we use "Change Management" for 4.0C (vers. of satellite) systems?
Any help and tips would really appreciate.
Best regards,
Vladimir

Hi,
For configuring change management, you will have to follow the SPRO guidelines for setting up transport routes between satellite systems.
Well i list down the activities that you need to do. Details you can find in SPRO -- > SAP Solution Manager --> Scenario Specific Settings --> Change Request Management --> Standard Configuration --> transport management System
1) Activate Extended transport control by setting System Parameter CTC=1 in STMS --> Systems
2)Create Client specific transport route between satellite systems
3) Ensure that all the systems in the domain have the same transport group.
4)Configure or activate Single transport Strategy in STMS --> Overview --> transport routes.
5)Activate TMS Trusted services in STMS --> Overview --> Systems --> Goto --> transport Domain --> Management Tab page --> Security option group box.
Besides these activities, you will have to execute the SPRO IMG Activity
SAP Solution Manager --> Basic Settings --> SAP Solution Manager System --> Activate Integration with Change Request Management
For activity Intigration Solution Manager make the following entry
APPL: Change Request Management
RFC Destination : NONE
For activity Integration Change Request Management
make the entries in table BCOS_CUST as g
iven in the IMG instruction.
Now in SOLAR_PROJECT_ADMIN you can activate a maintenance project for change management by going to System Landscape --> Project Cycle
Click the check box Activate Change request Management.
(NOTE: The above option comes only in Solution Manager 4.0, for SOLMAN 3.2 you can directly create maintenance cycle in /n/tmwflow/cmsconf --> Distribution Routes --> Project Landscape group box .)
Now you can create a maintenance cycle by clickin on the button Create Task List in project cycle tab page.
Navigate to task list and activate the tasklist (Maintenance Cycle) by clicking on the status button.
Now while creating change request ensure that you are assigning the correct ibase /component of the production system in the satellite system landscape. You have to enter the ibase component of the client of the production system to whcih the client specific transport route has been made. You can find this number in transaction IB52
Hope now u can move on with CHARM.

Change Management and Target Group in STMS

Hello, We use the Change Management (SolMan 4.0). Up to now it works fine. We deliver always one client in the System (E33.002; T33.002 and P33.002). Now we try to change this. We will deliver more than one client in every system at the same time (to have always the same status in every client). So we use Target groups in STMS. This works fine if I do the transports manualy. But if I try to do it with the change management it doesn't work. The change management still deliver one client (002).
Can someone give me a hint?
Best regards

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

Change Manager and Person Responsible

Why the Change Manager partner function is defined with function category "Person Responsible" and the CRM relationship "is responsible BP for"? This is related to the "Person responsible" field of a change document in the transaction crmd_order, when I use the find tab? What does it happen if I define the Change Manager like a simple employee?
Thanks
Antonello

Hi
Under HRMS Manager=> Security, you can find *"CustomForm"*
You can select "Combined Person & Assignment Form" as the form to be customized and restrict based on Person Action and Person Type.
Cheers,
Ganesh
