ARIS --- SolMan Integration

hello Gurus,
Would request you to share your valuable experience in integrating ARIS with SolMan.
Where can i find the configuration details relating to this integration.
Any useful info this regard will be suitably rewarded.
Thanks a lot in advance.
best regds,
Alagammai.

You can download the admin guide from their site.
browse through the folder for your version.
ftp://ftp.ids-scheer.com/pub/ARIS/HELPDESK/
for instance 7.01 is
ftp://ftp.ids-scheer.com/pub/ARIS/HELPDESK/ARIS701/ARIS701DOC_224640_EN.ZIP
They are password protected zip files but you should be able to get the password from IDS Scheer or your company's point of contact.
You also need the latest SAP transports:

ARIS - Solman Integration : Occurence copied node issue

Hi,
We are using ARIS - Solution Manager 4.0 Synchronization.
But, we encountered a big problem with synchronization.
That is as follows.
For example, there is following process - process step.
             Process                                           Process Step
    ( Processing Subcontract P/O )         -          ( Create Purchase Order )
    ( Processing P/O                   )         -          ( Create Purchase Order )
In this case, we can create as follows:
< ARIS >
             Process                                          Process Step                     ARIS GUID
    ( Processing Subcontract P/O )          -        ( Create Purchase Order (A) )    - ( 8888 )
    ( Processing P/O                   )          -         ( Create Purchase Order (B) )    - ( 9999 )
This is the way to create two process step individually by defintion functionality.
But, it's inconvenient because we must maintain the information of two process steps (A),(B) separately.
And, In this case, they have separate GUID. (They are different things)
But, ARIS supports the Occurence copy functionality.
With this functionality, we can make as follows:
< ARIS >
         Process                                           Process Step                         ARIS GUID
    ( Processing Subcontract P/O )     -        ( Create Purchase Order (A) )    -     ( 8888 )
    ( Processing P/O                   )     -         ( Create Purchase Order (A) )    -     ( 8888 )
In this case, we can see this process step, "Create Purchase Order", below the two process,both.
But, That is one node physically, so it has a only one GUID.
And, we can change the information(T-CODE, Name) in only one side.
I think this is necessary and right concept.
But, when this process is synchronized to solman, following problem occurs,.
< Solution Manager >
              Process                               Process Step              (ARIS GUID)      SAP ID
    ( Processing Subcontract P/O )   -   (                                         )     -      ( ) - ( )
    ( Processing P/O                   )    -   ( Create Purchase Order (A) )     -     ( 8888 )      - ( ABCD )
This is the result synchronized to solution manger.
That is, because process step(A) is physically one, so it's transfered to solman only once.
Exactly speaking, that is originally transfered below the process "Processing Subcontract P/O"
and moved below "Processing P/O" again.
In conclusion, occurence copied node in ARIS is synchronized to solman only once as I know.
If this is right, I think it might be a very big problem in ARIS-SOLMAN integration part.
And, I guess this could be fixed because the Solman function module for ARIS Sync.,
"Z_SOLAR_NODE_ADD", has the import parameter "I_REF_GUID", and solman support the occurence copy(Reference copy) function.
My questions are as follows:
1) Is it right that occurence copied node in ARIS is transferred to solman only once?
2) Is there anybody who knows the plan of IDE or SAP with this problem?
Thanks for your help in advance.
Best regards,
jihyun cho

Dear Michael,
Thank you so much for help!!!
I created customer message about this issue, either.
And I got the reply from SAP they sent this message to the development support level which will be handled by IDS Scheer.
But, I didn't get any message from IDS yet.
If they would contact me, I will check when new feature will be avaliable. And I will share this plan with everyone.
And I knew Shortcut function was newly updated with SP15 for the first time thanks to your reply.
Thanks for your help again.
Best regards,

ARIS - SAP Integration - Assigning Tcodes in SOLMAN FROM ARIS

Hi.
As highlighted in subject of this query, I am facing this issue while integrating ARIS with SOLMAN. I have assigned the tcodes to the process steps in ARIS. When I synchronize ARIS with SOLMAN, Level 1, Level 2 & Level 3 nodes are created in SOLMAN. Ideally Level 3 node should have tcodes assigned with them under Transactions tab, but these are not picking up as per assigned in ARIS.
Any guidance shall be highly appreciated

Hi, I am still looking for a solution for this issue. any guidance?

SOLMAN-Integration Test

Dear gurus,
We defined business processes in Blueprint (SOLAR01)
against that we created a test plan and test packages and done the unit testing.
Now we have to do integration test.which cut across all modules.
whether separate business process to be created in SOLAR01 to create Test plan and test packages or can we use the exisiting business process itself.If it so, how to define a test plan by combining all module business process..
For example:
Take the Scenario Order To Cash Cycle.
which cut across MM,SD,PP,QM,CO,FI transactions
In the blueprint no where we maintain in this sequence. Because the blueprint is meant for individual module specific.
so what is the recommended method for integration test.
Should i create Each Integration Scenario as Separate Business Process in SOLAR01 or should i select thr transacion alone from different business process of existing Blueprint.
Pls guide me.

Thanks Prabhakar,
I am aware of this, but this gives me details for one test plan. Even when I use STWB_2, it gives me summary of all the test plans, and for status overview I have to go in each and every test plan.
I am looking for some way out to generate the status overview of multiple test plans together in same screen, for reporting purpose.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Smita

SolMan integration with HP Quality Center

Hi Friends,
Is there any way by which we can integrate Solution Manager with Mercury Quality Center?
Please let me know.
Thanks,
Rock

Hi Rock,
The short answer is - yes, you can, after buying a 'Adapter' that SAP sells.
I am not sure if you have already seen some relevant pages and still have this doubt. In any case, I have listed some places where you would find relevant literature.
(1) http://service.sap.com/rkt-solman
In the above link, after supplying your OSS ID and password, you have access to various training documents. One of the links contain SAP Tutor and PDF files on this subject.
(2) For Adapter information, please got to the following link:
http://service.sap.com/upgrade
Click on Product Availability Matrix and then search for Adapter QC in Quick Search for Product Versions box.
You would get a window message that confirms that the Adapter is made available by SAP since 13.03.2008
(3) You also find some more information from 'Online Help' section on Solution Manager
Trust this helps.

Srini

SBOP BI 4.0 SLD/SOLMAN integration

I'm running SBOP BI 4.0 SP2 on AIX with Tomcat as web server. I'm now trying to send SBOP BI information to our central SLD. The installation Guide does not have all info, wrong info and is very misleading. For example on page 24: Note:
If you have installed SAP GUI, skip to step 4 below. What does the SAP GUI have to do with it ???
After some searching I found note 1508421(from howto http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/SMSETUP/ManagedSystemSetupofBOE4.0systeminSolman+7.1) to deploy a sld data dupplier for Tomcat which should automatically gather info about the deployed apps and send it to your SLD. It only send info about Tomcat itself and not about the deployed apps. So I searched for another solution.
I noticed in Installdir/sap_bobj/enterprise_xi40/java/lib/bobj-sld-ds some sld related scripts (no info to be found anywhere). After I had installed the SAP host agent and run script runbobjsldds.sh our SLD is updated with the SBOP BI server information. I believe the SLD is updated each time SBOP BI is restarted.
Anyone else integrated SBOP BI with SLD ? How ?
Another thing I haven't figured out yet, is the Solution Manager integration. The Guide says that the only thing you have to do is this:
Ensure that the placeholders related to SMD Agent are set correctly:
a. Update the %SMDAgentHost% placeholder with the SMD Agent hostname.
b. Update the %SMDAgentPort% placeholder with the SMD Agent port number.
I have done that, but nothing happens. Anyone has got this working properly ?
Thanks,
Mark

Hi,
there was a special installation order during XI 3.1 i`m not quite sure if there is one in BI4. To be sure i would recommend the following order:
BI4 Clients
BI4 Live Office
CR for Ent
The Installation process is pretty straight forward like installing an Office Package. So just only "Next" -> "Next" -> "Finish" and so on.
You can find the official Installation guides under help.sap.com

ARIS & SAP integration, SAP user management

The scenario is as follows:
Company business model (including company employees) is managed in ARIS.
Currently, when a new employee is hired (or an existing employee's data is updated), his/her data is managed in ARIS model, then user's data (name, login, SAP roles, etc.) is exported from ARIS model as a plain text which is e-mailed to SAP BASIS admins to create/update employee's SAP system account, so the employee could work as a SAP system user, according to his position as modelled and managed in ARIS. SAP admin's part here seems to be purely mechanical, since he does not make the decision, he just creates an account based on ARIS model output data.
The idea is to automate this process, by cutting that "e-mail" and "SAP admin" part, so that the employee's SAP system account would be created or updated (semi-)automatically right out of ARIS business model, by ARIS admin's decision.
Please tell me, is there any ready-made means in ARIS (or maybe using an additional tool) to manage (create, update) users in SAP R/3 and BW systems? Or a better way to do it?
I presume it could be done in ARIS via some script through an RFC connection to a SAP system.
Maybe I am asking this question in a wrong place, then please advise a better place.

Hi Sergei,
There is no ready-made script that creates a user in the SAP environment. The question is if you want to 'model' the security profile in ARIS, or let SAP handle this (as the authorization concept is part of SAP and not from ARIS).
In general there is some functionality to get user information from the Solution manager into ARIS (in the business architect for SAP, but not vice versa. In the solution manager. You can manage your whole authorisation landscape (over multiple SAP systems).
hope this helpes.

Quality Center/Solman configuration help

Hi. We're having some issues with our Quality Center/SolMan integration. We had it set up and working, and now "something" changed but we're not sure what, and our QC guru quit a few weeks back
We seem to be having authorization issues, but we're not sure where the config issue is. We have a user trying to push data from the Solman instance to Quality Center - when we look in the QC App server log, we see this.
com.hp.erp.ei.service.sm.base.exceptions.AuthorizationException: User is not authorized to perform the action PushBlueprintAction
the user is an admin on the QC system, the ID that was initially configured in Solman to handle the transfer also 'seems' to have the correct permissions. Where do we need to start looking to solve this?
What other information can I provide to help this out?
Thanks!
Bernie.

Hi Bernie Krause
1. Please check this back group communication user is not get deleted:
SAP_QC_INTERFACE Authorization for background communication user
2. check this also:
SAP Quality Center by HP
See IMG activity: Information and
SAP_QC_BY_HP_ADMIN Full authorization to configure, send and receive
data to/from Quality Center; needs to be assigned
additionally with respective role for Implementation
3 Did you check the Security guide under the communication channel
Solution Manager to Quality Center by HP uses following protocol SOAP
For more accurate details go to : https://websmp207.sap-ag.de/securityguide
you should be fine...

ASE - Performance Issue/Monitoring (Solman-BW)

Hi experts,
we already had it a few times. And now again... I think it is coming from Solman integrated BW.
We are using this for Technical Monitoring.
Today we had again a big performance impact.
In my opinion it is coming because data-serveris running on 100%.
I don't know where I can see this, therefore my 1st question is, is there any command in ISQL (like top) which gives me ASE-Performance?
So that I can see resource-bottlenecks?
The CPU of data server is always around 399%, but host is having 8 CPUs.
So I think ASE is at the moment limited to 4 CPUs.
Maybe someone can give me the parameter, which I have to check for this.
I have now stopped Calculation Engine of technical monitoring and everything is running fine now.
If I start it everything is going down again and CPU back to 399%

Christian,
But keep this noted these results are just the baseline information. Please find the traditional definition of this command:
Adaptive Server keeps track of how much work it has done in a series of global variables.
sp_monitor displays the current values of these global variables and how much they have changed since the last time the procedure executed.
For each column, the statistic appears in the form number(number)-number% or number(number).
The first number refers to the number of seconds (for cpu_busy, io_busy, and idle) or the total number (for the other columns) since Adaptive Server restarted.
The number in parentheses refers to the number of seconds or the total number since the last time sp_monitor was run. The percent sign indicates the percentage of time sincesp_monitor was last run.
May be take out a sp_sysmon report and analyse that give lots and lots of information.
Regards

How can we integrate CATS & PPM and to retrieve CATS time recording data in PPM ?

Dear experts,
Following the previous question of Ruxandra Petrina called "record times with CATS", I am facing an issue with the report DPR_CATS_CPR_TRANSF : it shows nothing despite I activated PPM accounting integration.
There are the steps I followed, I really don't understand what is missing. In PPM I can transfer and assign my projects to WBS elements automatically or manually.
1. We allowed time confirmation for projects
2. We replicated personal number as business partners
3. We activated worklists and project assignments @ data entry profiles
4. We set up ALE & RFC connections
5. We activated the integration scenarios on WBS element : automatic and manual creation of WBS element assigned to PPM elements. Then we set up data profiles for time recording in cat2.
6. We enter times, we released it (approval is not required) + saving
7; We launch the program in SE38 of both ERP or SOLMAN systems : NOTHING appears.
Our goal is to see the times recorded in CATS in the Confirmed work field of PPM.
Can you please help me out with this issue ?
Many thanks in advance.
Best,
Cassoké

Hi Cassoke,
If tasks assigned to a user is not listed in CAT2 worklist, then first we need to ensure that the tasks are displayed in the worklist. So the user confirm the times for the tasks using this list and after that only we should be running the report 'DPR_CATS_CPR_TRANF' to transfer the actual times entered by user in CAT2 to PPM project task.
To integrate CATS with PPM, you need to follow these steps.
Customisations:
1) Enable 'Time recording' for tasks & 'Account integration' in project type
2) Customisation related to 'Accounting integration' to be carried out (either single object / Hierarchical controlling, for testing better to use single object - Internal order, since it is easier)
3) Create a time sheet data entry profile
(Refer thread Record working times with CATS for details)
4) Ensure all object links(internal order / WBS) RFC destinations are updated correctly.
Master data:
Business partners creation with BUP003-Employee role & link to HR personnel number
(This is not required if HR integration is activated, since the system creates the BP's automatically. But manually we need to validate the BP's for linkage with few users)
Project:
1) Create project using customised project type (where time recording/accounting integration is enabled)
2) Structure the project with phase/tasks
3) Update duration/work etc., to the tasks
3) Create project roles & staff a resource (BP which is validated for HR personnel number linkage).
4) Assign task to project role with resource in Project role-->task tab
6) Release the project definition and also check for phase/tasks release
7) Change the status of project definition to 'Flag for transfer' (Can be done before project release also)
8) Check whether the internal order / PS project with WBS is created in ERP system(Based on customisation) and linked to project. Check can be made in accounting tab of the project. (If it is not created, then check for object link RFC destination correctness)
In case of automatic internal order creation process, you need to enter the org unit. data in project definition-->additional data of the project.
CATS:
After completing all the steps, the task assigned to the user will appear in the CAT2 transaction.
1) User can confirm the task with actual hours.
2) Run the CATS transfer report mentioned above to update the data in PPM project.
About SOLMAN integration, you can refer to this presentation also.

BPX slots at TechEd - Only 3 days left to propose

The BPX community has an opportunity to influence not only the direction of the Business Process Expert Website content, but also the content and substance for BPX topics at TechEd. Last year's invitation to have SDN community generated speaking slots at all 3 TechEd events extends itself here to the BPX community as well. Do you have concrete and interesting topics to present and share? Generate them and let the community determine interest. See:https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/webcontent/uuid/303da79c-23c5-2910-3ca4-f5eaf0740216 [original link is broken] [original link is broken].

Hi Naveen,
If you were looking to post to the BPX slots, I would recommend contents that are providing concrete, measurable, demonstratable examples of strategic work linked with results. If you have specific project work to be shared that show the application or use of tools: CAF, GP, ARIS, Solman in the context of business process improvement, these would be favorably viewed.
Ultimately though, the community decides what kinds of contents make most sense and gets to vote on the presentations..
Look at Paul's "wish list" if you want to get a feel for what the community is looking for here in the way of contents.
