Anybody use Transport Copies using CHaRM

Hi
Did anybody use transport copies options in CHaRM? When I use it's displaying only the transport created using CHaRM. But I need the transport created outside CHaRM?
By the time configured CHaRM, developer already working on the development system and created quite bit of Transport requests. Now wants to include all those transport request into CHaRM created transport request.
Looking for 2 options.
1) Register Transport Requests
2) Transport Copies
Tried both are not working. If any otherway please suggest.
Thanks
Ava

Hi,
The option 'Register Transport Requests' will only link the outside transports to the maintenance cycle. You can't work on these transports through a Correction Document (such as Normal Correction ).
In case you have already created transports outside of chaRM and these transports are not yet released you can do the following:
1. Create a Change Request and Correction Document
2. Create a transport request from this correction document
3. In the development system to go to se09 and use the option 'Merge Requests' (and not include objects). This will delete the previous request and move all your objects to the request created through chaRM (and you will not run into any lock issues).
4. For the transports which are released you can use the 'Include Objects' option.
The transport of Copies functionality when used from within ChaRM will create a copy of your original transport and move it to the QAS system. It will not load the production buffer. In case you find any issues while testing in QAS, you can still go back in DEV and add changes to te original transport request. This way all your work gets added to the same TR and you can keep doing transport of copies for testing in QAS. Once your are ready you can release your original TR.

  • Does anybody use ChaRM with their BW system?

    We are looking to implement Charm for our BW system and I am looking for somebody that has experience with this. For example if you extract a new field from your ECC system and transport it via Charm, does the system recognize that this transport needs to finish generating the data in BW before it moves the next transport in line? Or do you have to manually import these transports into BW?

    Horst,
    We already have Charm for ECC, CRM, SCM, Portal and the setup is not really a problem. The issue I have around BW is really a different one. Today, without Charm, we have the issue that the transports are not going in in the sequence that they are released (the BW manager gives us the sequence he wants them to be moved) and that in between transports we have to wait until the generation of data in BW is done, before the next transport can move. This takes a lot of time and as this needs to be done in off hours it keeps a person busy on the weekend, which ideally I want to avoid going forward as we are not staffed for that.
    So my question is if we are doing something wrong in general around the transports we do for BW (so that we have to wait and change transport sequences and do stuff manually) and if Charm is only going to make it worse....
    Looking for tips and tricks on how we can get this to go automated... . How can we get this to improve?
    Can you give me a few details on how your transports are going through for BW and if you encounter any of the above problems or how you might have resolved them?
    Thanks for your reply and thoughts on this

  • Automatic Transport Requests and Support Pack Stacks using CHaRM

    Hi Experts,
    Could you please give your valueable inputs on below Requriements :
    1. All Transports Requests needs to be Automatically moved from Solution Manager using CHaRM.
    2. Automatic Support Package Stacks needs to be updated using Solman - CHaRM
    would be helpful if any one could send the documentation on above requirements.
    Regards,
    Vijaysateesh

    Hi,
    >
    > 1. All Transports Requests needs to be Automatically moved from Solution Manager using CHaRM.
    Yes. You can schedule a periodic job (say for example daily 6M) to import all released transport requests from  QAS to PRD of a maintenance cycle/project. This is the task "Import Transport Request(Backround)" given in task list (tcode-SCMA) of a maintenance cycle.
    > 
    > 2. Automatic Support Package Stacks needs to be updated using Solman - CHaRM
    I haven't done this. But this is the  task "Import Support Package" given in task list (tcode-SCMA) of a maintenance cycle.
    I hope there is no specific documents for these. It's the same documents related to ChaRM.

  • Using Charm at cutover to handle deleted objects

    Hello experts,
    System landscape contains of dual landscap meaning one project ladnscape and one maintenance landscape.
    Project: D01>T01>Q01     ( no charm )
    Maint: DEV>QAS>PRD      ( charm is used )
    At project Go Live cutover is done från Project line Q01 to Maint DEV.
    All transports imported in Q01 is added manually to import queue of Maint DEV and imported.
    After that 1 WB request and 1 Cust. request is created via charm and all objects from the
    cutover transports imported are added to those chamr transports. Then charm handles the
    transport process through the maint landscape up to production.
    Problem
    =======
    If cutover transports contains deletion of objects, the transports are imported to DEV maint, object is deleted.
    When including all objects from cutover transports into the two charm transports it will then ofcourse fail during
    releae of the transports on the deleted objects as they no longer exist in DEV maint. This is of course not a specific
    charm problem but a TMS problem. Or not even a problem it is as it should be.
    Question
    ========
    Is there any way of handling this scenario, can charm in any way handle this ?
    Thanks,

    I checked the link you provided and that descibes as you say a dual landscape but i don't think it will solve this problem.
    As i understand you setup the retrofit process one-way and that would be Maint DEV -->  Project DEV.
    That is all fine keeping all changes done in maintenance landscape in synk with project landscape.
    But the cutover process is manual, as also the drawing states, meaning adding project landscape transports
    to Maint DEV system import queue and import them. But if a transport contains objects with the delete flag it will be
    deleted in the Maint DEV system. All fine that far. But when you then inlcude all cutover transports objects into a charm transport it will not check if object still exist in Maint DEV system ( wich it does not anymore ), it will include evertyhing that is part of the cutover transports. Meaning you include objects with delete flag on it. When you release this now in Maint DEV system what it does is to check if object exist in TADIR, it does not. You can fool this release process by manually create an entry in TADIR, release the transport, then delete the entry in TADIR. But if you have cutover transports with many deletions, then this is not the way to go.
    So please explain how the retrofit procedure would help in the scenarion at cutover and delete flag.
    Thanks.

  • Hi Friends, Please help me to understand Why we are using CHARM instead of

    Hi friends,
    I am working as SAP security consultant.
    I am fresher and worked in implemetaion project.
    My question is when i was in implementation project i used CHARM in sol man to create transport request.
    Now i am working in support and here we are not using CHARM simply creating transport in PFCG.
    So is there any specific difference between both.
    Please tell me

    Hi
    CHARM is a specific functionality in Solution Manager
    so it doesn't mean in all your project or customer are using solution manager charms functionality
    therefore you will creating TR from Se09 etc not from UC/NC scenario
    Hope clarified your doubt

  • Using ChaRM in specific projects

    Hi all,
    We are configurating ChaRM 7.1, SP8.
    In begining we would like to turn on ChaRM controls in some projects, like pilot.
    We want to work with some Project without ChaRM´s controls, with manually transport.
    After this we will use ChaRM  controls for all projects.
    Is it possible?
    Thank you very much for your support.
    Adriana

    Hi Adriana,
    To use Projects without chaRM control even after ChaRM is activated please make the following project swithces need to me activated. as shown in the below screen,when you choose Activate Change Request Management for a project, an IMG project is generated in the development system of the assigned logical component. This IMG project generates a CTS project in each assigned client
    Project status switches for these CTS projects are automatically deactivated when a task list is generated. This means that the transport requests for the corresponding CTS projects cannot be created, exported, or imported. The figure shows the generated IMG project in the assigned development system and the CTS status switches belonging to the related CTS project.
    Click on the Pen icon pointed in the screen and change the CTS Project Status Switch so that you can use for manual transports and again change to "X" to se ChaRM control transports.

  • Using ChaRm with 2 Development (source) systems

    Good Day;
    Before I get into the full description of an issue we are facing. I would like to know if anyone out there is using ChaRM and has 2 development systems defined.
    Regards
    Don

    Thanks Avinash
    This is the problem I am having
    We have 2 landscapes each with a development and quality system. Also there is a single volume test system. Both landscapes point to a single production system. So it would look like this
    DW3           DW4
    QW1           QW2
               VW1
                PW1
    The DW3 landscape is defined as the production landscape (normal releases) and the DW4 landscape is defined as the emergency landscape. The emergency landscape is synchronized with the production landscape during a normal release.
    The migration path for a normal release would be DW3, QW1, VW4, (now synchronizing) DW4, QW2, PW1.
    The migration path for an emergency fix would be DW4, QW2, VW4 (if performance testing is required), PW1.
    All these systems are defined in the ChaRM landscape
    When a task list is generated, you are asked which development system, DW3 or DW4. When the task list is generated, it starts at DW4, QW2, PW1, DW3, QW1, PW1 (We have not defined a volume VW4 system in or test landscape).
    As well when a creating a transport, and DW3 is selected, ChaRm generates an error stating the task list is out of sequence,
    You will notice that the task list goes to PW1 twice. Is there a way to generate the task list in the correct order. DW3, QW1, DW4, QW2 and PW1.
    Regards

  • Using ChaRM to register objects in Marketplace

    Hello,
    We want to control what changes are done to SAP standard workbench objects, using ChaRM, so that for example every time a program needs to be registered to make customer modifications in the marketplace we can do it using a ticket from ChaRM.  Then we can have an approval process and a total traceability.
    Is that possible?  Is there any alternative way to have that controlled in Solution Manager?
    I appreciate your comments.
    Regards
    Esteban

    Hi Prakhar,
    Thanks for your answer.  However the issue is a bit different.  Customer found that they want to make a modification in a standard code because of business needs.  So, they need to access to the marketplace to register that object.  No incident was created in Service Desk, no notes from SAP.  We want to have a Change Request and a Change Document to control the modifications and registration of this object.  However I did not found any action in ChaRM Change Document that allows me to access marketplace and  keep track of this registration in the change document.
    Do you have any idea?
    Many thanks
    Esteban

  • Anybody using 11g RAC Database with OIM 9.1.0.2?

    Hi,
    We have poor performance problems with 11g RAC Database with OIM 9.1.0.2.
    It looks like the issue could be because of RAC Ccluster.
    Anybody using 11g RAC Database with OIM 9.1.0.2?
    If so, What is the JDBC Driver r u using? Also what App Server (Weblogic or OAS etc) ?
    Appreciate your input.
    Regards
    Vijay Chinnasamy

    We are using weblogic 10.3. And I am sorry to tell you that we are yet to move to production.
    We are planning to have Database in RAC, so i just thought of taking inputs from you.
    can you tell me under what operations you face the poor performance issue?
    For us the max no. of users in production is around 6k. So I am wondering how this RAC availability will affect the performance.
    Thanks for sharing your inputs.

  • Is anybody using RDX Removable Disk Backup System

    I´m sorry, this a new post about an old discussion but I would like to start a fresh dialogue for today; 2011.
    Is anybody using RDX Removable Disk Backup System (with or without T.Machine).
    An affordable alternative to LTO tape? Proved compatibility with Mac OS?
    Is it possible to insert a RDX drive as a second optic unit inside a Mac Pro?
    Any happy RDX+mac user, so far?
    Thanks.

    I'm not using RDX on a Mac, but I do have one client I'm using RDX for a Windows server.  While RDX is somewhat cost effective over LTO/Ultrium, IMHO it probably wouldnt' be the best for Time Machine.  Time Machine expects the previous backup to be online and if you switch cartridges, TM would have to create a new backup from scratch.  Then if you switch back the cartridges, your TM bundles are out of sync.  I'm not saying it's not possible, but that this is not the "normal" way TM works.  So you need to understand what you need to do if you were planning to switch cartridges.  (If you weren't planning to switch cartridges, then a "normal" external or internal hard drive is more cost effective than RDX.)
    RDX cartridges are basically 2.5" SATA hard drives.  The RDX "drive" is, for the most part, just a SATA to USB converter.  (Or SATA to eSATA or whatever interface you get.)  On the PC the advantage is that you don't have to "safely remove hardware" and you don't lose the drive letter.  On the Mac, a "normal" external hard drive is almost as convinient as RDX, since there's no drive letter to worry about.  The RDX's advantage on the Mac would be not having to plug/unplug a USB cable on the external units.  I suppose you could get an internal eSATA RDX to put into a Mac.  I don't know of anyone doing that.
    I did use my client's USB RDX drive on his Macbook, just to see what we could do with it.  While it worked, we didn't do extensive testing so I can't comment on long term satisfaction with OSX.  But so far it's been reliable with Windows for almost two years.  (Windows Server 2008 with Backup Exec 2010.)  However since RDX is basically just a hard drive, I've gotten the client to realize that in a year or two, we'll probably have to start replacing cartridges, assuming his data size doesn't grow beyond the RDX capacity.  This is based on the assumption that the RDX cartridges would have similar longevity to laptop hard drives, which have 3-5 year warranties.  We probably will get more lifespan than that, but better to have the client plan in the budget now, rather than have backups fail.

  • Has anybody used the microsoft JDBC 2.0 driver for sql server 2000?

    Hi,
    Has anybody used the JDBC 2.0 driver for sql server 2000 downloadable from the
    microsoft website?When I try using it with WL 6.1 sp1 it says it can't load the
    driver.I try viewing the class file from the jar file using the jar utility it
    gives an unknown Zip format error.Anybody has any solution for this ?If anybody
    has managed to work with this microsoft driver i will be grateful if they provide
    me with a solution.
    Thanks
    Thomas

    Hello Thomas,
    You may want to download the driver again and install it again.
    heres a sample xml tag in the config.xml:
    <JDBCConnectionPool
    DriverName="com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver"
    InitialCapacity="3" MaxCapacity="12" Name="MSpool"
    Password="{3DES}fUz1bxR0zDg=" Properties="user=uid"
    Targets="myserver"
    URL="jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://mydbserver:1433"/>
    ensure that you follow the instructions from Microsoft. For using 2000
    driver you will need to have
    Install_dir/lib/msbase.jar and Install_dir/lib/msutil.jar in addition to
    Install_dir/lib/mssqlserver.jar in the CLASSPATH.

  • Anybody using Hypersonic SQL in JSP?

    Hello,
    Does anybody use Hypersonic SQL?
    I implement a guestbook system with JSP that
    saves data in Hypersonic SQL. This system
    runs on www.mycgiserver.com. My JSP program
    has thread safe option set to false to make
    sure one thread is reading and writing the database
    at a time. However, every once in a while, the
    database will be wiped out mysteriously.
    So I am just wondering that this happens to
    anyone else? Is this a Hypersonic SQL's bug
    or it's the server that goofs up or I did something
    wrong with the JSP setting? Any ideas or
    comments please? Thanks !!!

    Hi there!
    I use Hypersonic locally and on mycgiserver.com. Luckilly, I haven't encountered your problems so far. I use a similar approach, I have a bean that handles a singleton-connection to the DB, and that will queue up all requests. But so far , I haven't had that much load on the app, so maybe I'll get back in this matter, with the same problem... Anyone att mycgiserver that had an id�a?

    Who is anybody using a WISM with FWSM on CAT 6500 switch ?
    Are there any problem,if use?
    And How can I set them to connecting each other ?
    I have founded a document relate it on the cisco website that name is Integrating Cisco WiSM and Firewall Service Module.
    I have a question concern it.
    Why do I have make a VRF to communication each other ?
    Please let me know.

    As far as the FWSM is concerned you can have each of the wireless vlans come in to the same context of the FWSM and then just add those vlans to the FWSM as separate vlans.
