REWARD IF HELPS
The SAP Solution Manager offers a variety of services to manage production systems during
the operations phase. For example, the Self-Service procedures of the Service Level
Management framework and the SAP EarlyWatch Alert analyze the operational status of
mySAP.com solutions and trigger alerts and messages that reflect the state of the entire
solution. To help anticipate potential problems these Self-Services automatically trigger
recommendations for specific remote services and Self-Services in the SAP Solution
Manager.
The SAP Solution Manager will be the necessary platform for all related SAP Service and
Support issues. All customers who benefit from SAP Global Support offerings (for example,
TeamSAP Support Services, Solution Management Optimization and Solution Management
Review Services) will also benefit from the SAP Solution Manager. The main focus of
development in the SAP Solution Manager will be further enhancement in Business Process
Monitoring such as background job scheduling, and checks for data consistency, process
performance, and throughput
Best Practices for Solution Management
Best Practices for Solution Management are composed and developed by SAP using the
experience of thousands of customer installations and implementation projects. In general,
Best Practices are structured and delivered in different forms:
The SAP Solution Manager is available as technical add-on and is designed to run either on
mySAP Workplace 2.11 (with SAP Basis 4.6D), SAP R/3 4.6C or SAP Web Application
Server 6.10. The SAP Solution Manager will be shipped as one single add-on together with
the SAP Solution Architect for the new SAP Web AS 6.10 at the beginning of 2002.
What are the Benefits of the SAP Solution Manager?
November 8th, 2005

NetWwaver 2004s specific Accelerators (ASAP or Solution Manager)

I am deperately trying to get the latest version of BI accelerators for implementing BI Netweaver 2004s.
The only spot I see these being available are in the 'roadmap section of ASAP'.
Downloading the ASAP/SM roadmap takes forever, and has several password protected files.
Is there a zip file somewhere that ONLY contains Accelerators for Blueprint, Design, Realization, etc. I am only interested in deliverable templates by ASAP phase.
Thanks - and yes points will be rewarded

Difference between Solution manager and ASAP

Hi All,
Can anyone tell me what's the difference between SAP solution manager and ASAP?
Regards
Saroj

ASAP stands For Accelerated SAP........its a SAP implementation methodology. It consists of Five phases---
1. Project Preparation
2. Business Blueprint
3. Realization phase
4. Final preparation phase
5. Go live and Support
For Solution manager u can follow this link:
http://www.sap.com/services/pdf/BWP_SB_SAP_Solution_Manager.pdf
ASAP and Solution Manager are tools used for managing SAP implementation and roll out project. Both supports sevral stages of the project as mention by Raj.
The main Difference between three tools (ASAP, VSAP and Solution Manager) are as follow:
ASAP:
- Offline CD set with tools, content and a methodology for component-based implementation projects
VSAP:
- Offline CD set with tools, content and methodologies for Evaluation, Implementation and Continuous Business Improvement
- ASAP CD set is used as a tool platform. ASAP content is included to cover the implementation phase
Solution Manager:
- Onsite platform to support key implementation actitivities
- Including key ASAP concepts and tool features
- Enhanced concepts to encompass the specifics of mySAP.com implementations
- Integrated platform to support Implementation and operation of mySAP.com
- Solution Manager is server based tool.
More informaiton you can find from the following links:
ValueSAP : https://www.service.sap.com/valuesapupdates
Solution Manager: http://service.sap.com/solutionmanager
some documents what is the duty of asap and solution manager i think with u can understand the difference.
asap means,
ASAP
ASAP stands for Accelerated SAP. Its purpose is to help design SAP implementation in the most efficient
manner possible. Its goal is to effectively optimize time, people, quality and other resources, using a proven
methodology to implementation.
ASAP focuses on tools and training, wrapped up in a five-phase process oriented roadmap for guiding
implementation.
The road map is composed of five well-known consecutive phases:
Phase 1 Project Preparation
Phase 2 Business Blueprint
Phase 3 Realization
Phase 4 Final Preparation
Phase 5 Go-Live and support
In today's post we will discuss the first phase.
Phase 1 : Project Preparation
Phase 1 initiates with a retrieval of information and resources. It is an important time to assemble the
necessary components for the implementation. Some important milestones that need to be accomplished
for phase 1 include
Obtaining senior-level management/stakeholder support
identifying clear project objectives
architecting an efficient decision-making process
creating an environment suitable for change and re-engineering
building a qualified and capable project team.
Senior level management support:
One of the most important milestones with phase 1 of ASAP is the full agreement and cooperation of the
important company decision-makers - key stakeholders and others. Their backing and support is crucial for a
successful implementation.
Clear project objectives:
be concise in defining what your objectives and expectations are for this venture. Vague or unclear notions of
what you hope to obtain with SAP will handicap the implementation process. Also make sure that your
expectations are reasonable considering your company's resources. It is essential to have clearly defined
ideas, goals and project plans devised before moving forward.
An efficient decision making process:
One obstacle that often stalls implementation is a poorly constructed decision-making process. Before
embarking on this venture, individuals need to be clearly identified. Decide now who is responsible for
different decisions along the way. From day one, the implementation decision makers and project leaders
from each area must be aware of the onus placed on them to return good decisions quickly.
Environment suitable for change and re engineering:
Your team must be willing to accept that, along with new SAP software, things are going to change, the
business will change, and information technology enabling the business will change as well. By
implementing SAP, you will essentially redesign your current practices to model more efficient or predefined
best business practices as espoused by SAP. Resistance to this change will impede the progress of your
implementation.
Building a qualified project team:
Probably the most important milestone early in assembling a project team for the implementation. If you are
implementing the materials management and plant maintenance modules, you need to include people from
both of these departments. The team should also represent management as well as non management or
"functional" personnel. Sometimes management is less aware of the day-to-day functions of an organization,
including how implementing SAP will tactically influence those function
ASAP- Second Phase- Business Blueprint
SAP has defined a business blueprint phase to help extract pertinent information about your company that is
necessary for implementation. These blueprints are in the form of questionnaires that are designed to probe
for information that uncovers how your company does business. As such, they also serve to document the
implementation. Each business blueprint document essentially outlines your future business processes and
business requirements. The kinds of questions asked are germane to the particular business function, as
seen in the following sample questions:
1) What information do you capture on a purchase order?
2) What information is required to complete a purchase order?
Accelerated SAP question and answer database:
The question and answer database (QADB) is a simple although aging tool designed to facilitate the creation
and maintenance of your business blueprint. This database stores the questions and the answers and
serves as the heart of your blue print. Customers are provided with a customer input template for each
application that collects the data. The question and answer format is standard across applications to
facilitate easier use by the project team.
Issues database:
Another tool used in the blueprinting phase is the issues database. This database stores any open concerns
and pending issues that relate to the implementation. Centrally storing this information assists in gathering
and then managing issues to resolution, so that important matters do not fall through the cracks. You can
then track the issues in database, assign them to team members, and update the database accordingly.
ASAP Phase- 3 - Realization:
With the completion of the business in phase 2, "functional" experts are now ready to begin configuring SAP.
The Realization phase is broken in to two parts.
1) Your SAP consulting team helps you configure your baseline system, called the baseline configuration.
2) Your implementation project team fine-tunes that system to meet all your business and process
requirements as part of the fine tuning configuration.
The initial configuration completed during the base line configuration is based on the information that you
provided in your blueprint document. The remaining approximately 20% of your configuration that was not
tackled during the baseline configuration is completed during the fine tuning configuration. Fine tuning
usually deals with the exceptions that are not covered in baseline configuration. This final bit of tweaking
represents the work necessary to fit your special needs.
Configuration Testing:
With the help of your SAP consulting team, you segregate your business processes into cycles of related
business flows. The cycles serve as independent units that enable you to test specific parts of the business
process. You can also work through configuring the SAP implementation guide (IMG). A tool used to assist
you in configuring your SAP system in a step-by-step manner.
Knowledge Transfer:
As the configuration phase comes to a close, it becomes necessary for the Project team to be self-sufficient
in their knowledge of the configuration of your SAP system. Knowledge transfer to the configuration team
tasked with system maintenance (that is, maintenance of the business processes after Go-live) needs to be
completed at this time.
In addition, the end users tasked with actually using the system for day-to-day business purposes must be
trained.
ASAP Methodology - Phase 4 - Final Preparation:
As phase 3 merges into phase 4, you should find yourselves not only in the midst of SAP
training, but also in the midst of rigorous functional and stress testing. Phase 4 also
concentrates on the fine tuning of your configuration before Go-live and more importantly, the
migration of data from your old system or systems to SAP.
Workload testing (including peak volume, daily load, and other forms of stress testing), and
integration or functional testing are conducted to ensure the accuracy of your data and the
stability of your SAP system. Because you should have begun testing back in phase 2, you do
not have too far to go until Go-live. Now is an important time to perform preventative
maintenance checks to ensure optimal performance at your SAP system.
At the conclusion of phase 4, take time to plan and document a Go-live strategy. Preparation for
Go-live means preparing for your end-users questions as they start actively working on the new
SAP system.
ASAP - Phase 5 - Go-live and Support:
The Go-live milestone is itself is easy to achieve; a smooth and uneventful Go-live is another
matter altogether. Preparation is the key, including attention to what-if scenarios related not only
to the individual business processes deployed but also to the functioning of technology
underpinning these business processes and preparation for ongoing support, including
maintenance contracts and documented processes and procedures are essential

Documentation solution manager

Hello all,
I'm studying for my sap certificaion and as far as i understood there will be also some questions about solution manager.
Does anyone has documentation for me about solution manager?
I never worked with solution manager so it's totally new for me.
kind regards,
camilla

Hi,
I guess the questions would be from ASAP and Project Management using Solution manager. I would suggest you suggest you understand these.
Feel free to revert back.

Serv. Desk: Action: send an email only when a value in a field has changed

Hello,
In Soution Manager 4.0, Sevice Desk, I would like to create an action which creates an email only when a value of a certain field has changed.
- only in change mode relevant
- only when a value of one field has changed (e.g. Message Processort has changed from Buss. Partner 4 to 5. Than a mail should be sent to BP 5).
- it should only send this kind of email when the field value has changed in change mode. In other words: it should not sent the email e.g. when the status has changed.
I tried all kinds of things but I do not know on how to define the COnditions for an Action, so I can compare e.g.
if <old value> <> <new value>
Any ideas or experience on how to implement this without major modifications ?
Thanks
Christian

Hi Christian,
check out my question on SDN.
Email on Status Change
it has details on how to send an email when the status changes. I believe you are going to have to do something like this for each of the fields you want to create an Action Starting Condition for.

Jason

Long Projects exported Media Encoder 5.0.1 fail to finish

Exporting 90 minute P2 AVC-INTRA 100 sequence or a 90 Motion JPEG sequence fails to finish. Both exports fail around 50%. Media Encoder 5.0.1 fails to finish. This is reminicent of PP 2 and CS3 days when long sequences would not finish. In this case I ended up breaking up the sequence into two parts and the exports complete. Suspect that media encoder 5.0.1 over time generates error that there is not enough disk space when there actually is. Media Encoder indicates error compiling movie. Maybe not refreshing itself during the export process. Developers need to fix this asap. Memory management may also be an issue with this problem.
If anyone is having this same exporting problem suggest you break up project into chunks for now until this is fixed by Adobe.
Cannot finish long projects with this bug not being fixed.

Have not tried that. System configuration guys I talk to on a regular basis have told me that because Media Encoder is caching the project in memory that the appropriate way to to run and export via Media Encoder, when exporting your project, is to queue the export to Media Encoder from Premiere then start the encode in Media Encoder first then close Premiere CS5. Something to do with the way they link or something. However the problem I am having is exporting a long project (90 minutes). Adobe had an issue a few versions back with this same issue of exporting a large project. I suspect it has to do with the app no rechecking it's own processes or some piece of code that is stopping the export after a certain time or certain size when it should not. Reported the bug to adobe and I hope they fix it asap. I could be wrong as I am using a GTX 480 card and because mercury playback is not officially supported I could be having issues related to the card. However, until I hear someone exporting a 90 minute or 2 hour movie in AVC-INTRA 100 or motion jpeg or Cineform without a problem I am pretty sure this is a bug.

Export - Import data , important

Hi,
Our systems: BPC 75 SP04, MS version (32 bits DEV server, 64 bits PROD server)
I need help ASAP, finally I managed to "export data from server DEV - import this data to PROD" but there is an issue of corrupted data in my opinion, since only some data shows wrong amounts like $300,589,456,345,200...
Procedure:
1. In DEV server, optimized application and compress database
2. Enter to SQL server manager, right click the current database > tasks >export data
Chose Flat File > chose tlbFac2Budget
3. Obtain txt, save into a shared folder
4. Enter to PROD server, open BPC Excel
Access to shared folder, right click txt and made a copy of it.
Using the copy file and changing the dimension COMPAÑIA to COMPANIA (since i have to change this parameter)
5. In Excel, data upload > chose txt file as source file and destination file
Run package > Import > Select txt file and Import file (txt) and transformation file (system file : import)
6. Open log and shows success, 210,440 accepted count. (same # shown in SQL rows)
7. Checking different dynamic templates, and some data is not consistent.
8. Opened SQL Server Mgr, pick tblFac2Budget and says "207,449 rows"
9. Full process the application/dimensions but nothing happenned, all "parent members" show a different amount, also base level members.
10. Open DEV server and the data is also corrupted, amounts are nonsense.. for example billions $$
What do you suggest to do?
After importing, is it necessary to process dimensions? Is also necessary to run all the calcs?
Does the import only import base level members?
If this method is generating corrupted data, what other options do I have left?
Thanx in advance.
Velázquez

Export can not create any trouble into source.
If you performed export from Production server into flat file then it is something else which was creating problem with data from production.
You run another proces or another import into production which change the data.
I'm sure 100% an export can not create any problem into source.
When you are using a export method you have to use the same method for import.
In your case you have used for export SSIS package but for import BPC import.
SSIS export dosn't take in consideration account type , BPC import yes.
So this can be another problem why into destination system you have wrong data including base members.
So you have to use standard BPC export and standard BPC import and you will not have any issue.
Or you can use SSIS export but you have to do the same into destination ...(any way this can create problem if you would like to to do merge of data ). Usually you can do this when you have empty the region into destination table.
So I'm not sure what what was causing problems into data for production but I'm not sure not export is the cause.

Unable to install Lion on iMac 27" i7 (2010) - no recovery system

I tried to install Lion in my 27" iMac i7 (2010), but the install process cancels, because it's unable to create the recovery-system. The suggested URL for support (www.apple.com/de/support/no-recovery) doesn't exist. What now? And better ASAP!

I managed to install Lion after doing the following steps:
(1) Remove Boot Camp Partition - Boot Camp Assistant > Remove Windows Parition
(2) Repair Permission - Disk Utility > Repair Permission (for main HDD)
Lazlow wrote:
Found out what my problem is!
In creating the Recovery HD, the installer was trying to write a new boot.ini onto my Windows partition, but I have mine formatted in NTFS, so it couldn't write anything to it. I guess that's what Apple meant by me "tampering" with my Boot Camp installation. So I guess I just have to reformat the partition in FAT32 and I should be good to go.
Ref: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1191078&page=2
So if you're having the same problem as I'm, you can try these steps to install Lion.
