Assign implementation project to solution

Hi,
I would like to know if there is a way to assign an implementation project structure to a solution.
I can see that in transaction solman_directory i can import the scenarios of a project into the solution, but i would like to know if there is another way to do this.
Another question ¿Is there any way to see the projects related to a solution?
Kind regards Jon
P.D: i am working on solman 7.1

Hello Jon
EDIT
I looked into this quickly.
It should be possible using Project Scoping. You can assign any type of project to a solution.
You should be able to find the path to which Project Scoping moved (since it was in DSWP in SolMan 7.0 it is now moved to a work center in SolMan 7.1) by checking http[https://service.sap.com/rkt-solman|https://service.sap.com/rkt-solman]Kind regards

Solution Manager for Implementation project

Hello,
I want to know how we should use solution manager for an implementation project. I am aware about the ASAP methods and the transactions in solman system for each phase. I have starting trouble like how to and where to start with? My ECC systems are not yet installed. Still we can go ahead with Blueprint creation and definition of roadmaps etc. Currently, it is done on paper. If anybody has done an implementation project through solution manager, could you please give me some hints how to start ? I repeat I am aware of the transactions but dont know what to add there in solar01/02 when the process are not defined/system not installed. Please guide me.
Rajeev

Hi Rajeev,
You're correct; you can start building the Business Blueprint without SMSY having all the systems that are 'to-be'. As long as you enter logical components in the project landscape with the correct product versions, you can replace those with the actual components once they have been installed. The BPR needs those product versions in the blueprint when you load the relevant scenario's. Once loaded, you can start documenting the scenario's, place the processes and process steps not used out of scope or delete them entirely and define custom scenario's, processes and process steps.
When the Blueprint has been completed with relevant design documentation, the Configuration transaction can be used to document how you actually configure the systems and, of course, to configure them from Solution Manager. The system landscape officially has to be definitive at the end of the Blueprint phase, unless you won't be configuring the systems centrally from Solution Manager.
The Solution is actually not necessary for a clean implementation; the Project will eventually lead to the solution. Once the systems are all configured and documented in SSM, you create the Solution and upload the project documentation into it in the Solution Directory.
Let us know how you get on!
Kind regards,
Patrick

How to connect Template project and Implementation project

Hi Experts,
     I would like to know how to connect Template project and Implementation project
    in Solution maneger.   Please help.
Best regards,
   Gaito

Hey Gaito,
great. Now that you have a template project, you need to create one or more templates within the project template.
Go to tab Templates (of your Templ Proj) and activate 'Global Rollout Functionnality' to be able to use the templates.
Create a new template thanks to button create. Visibility will be set to red 'private'. You ll have to set it to visible so it becomes visible from your implementation project.
You ll see when trying to do that next message 'No scenarios/configuration structures assigned to the template XXXX'. That means that in SOLAR01 you did not define a scenario that ll be used in template you re trying to create
In order to do that go to SOLAR01 for template project, select/create scenarios in tab structure and set in column template value of your template (the one you re creating in SOLAR_PROJECT_ADMIN) and in Global Attribute set value t Global
You l definitely find more info on this in sap document SMI310 (course). I don t know if you can find it on internet
Hope this helps

Khalil

Defining System Landscape in Implementation Project

Hi
I want to ask about defining System Landscape of an implementation project in solution manager.
I have assigned the logical Component in Systems tab.
I want to ask about creating the IMG Project in Sstems Landscape tab,, Is it compulsory to create IMG project for the new Implementation Project??? Why we create IMG Project?? Is it compulsory??
Please guide
Regards
Sidra Hasan

Hi,
Implementation Project u2013 A project to implement SAP solution as a part of regular implementation or a roll out. This is considered for single-site implementations. Predefined scenarios can be selected from template projects.
It is not compulsory to create these projects in solution manager that depends upon your implementation strategy.
Thanks

ChaRM activation in implementation project??

HI
I am quite new to solution manager , i want to ask that if we have created an Implementation Project in Solution Manager What is the pupose of activating ChaRM in it?? when i can do configuration directly from "Configuration" in Solution Manager itself and directly transport it to landscape by the transport option in "SPLAR_PROJECT_ADMIN"??
Please guide
Thanks

Hi Sindra,
When we have a normal correction we would normally use the Transport of Copies function to move developments into the QA system so we can check that we get the desired result. If we need to change our development we can change the development and assign the changed development to a new task in the Transport Order. When we want to transfer the development we can then release the task, create a new TOC and import the TOC. This can be completed as many times as required, the important point to remember is that we never release the Transport Order until we have completed the development.
If during the project cycle we need to perform a correction to the development when we are in the test phase we can use Test Messages (SDTM) to control the creation of a new transport and the import process.
If during the correction process you are finding that the status of the document is changing to a previous status then there could be a problem and you should have a warning or error message displayed in the ticket.
Hope this helps,
Rich Labib

ChaRM and test management in implementation projects

Hi
I am doing implementation projects in solution manager. i have activated charm in the project so as to transport all the changes related to the project with the project lifecycle.
I have got confusions regarding CHarm and Test MAnagement.. when we activated CHaRM the tester can logon to the system and perform testing and pass the Change Document to the next phase.
What is the standard flow when both CHaRM and TEst Management for a project exists??
Thanks

Please can someone tell me how to use TEST MANAGEMENT and ChaRM for Implementation Project together??

Solution Directory - How to lock a business process for a implement project

We have Solution Directory assigned to a maintenance project and I understand the checkout/checkin process and how it locks the business process in the Solution. What is the best practice when you are starting a new IMPLEMENTATION project that will impact existing business processes that are in the Solution? I know that I can copy from the solution to build the new project, but it doesnu2019t lock the BP from the solution.
I have a new Implementation project, that i want to checkout/pull existing business processes for the Solution Directory.
*How can these Business Processes be "locked" in Solution Directory as they are with a Maintenance project?*

Kelly,
You would use the maintenance project to make daily modifications.
Consider the case of a O2C business scenario. You need to almost make daily configs etc, which get pushed through, such things will go into a maintenance project.
But if you plan to enhance O2C with a CRM front end or include a better planning solution or TPM or something, then you are looking at an implementation project.
Rule of thumb. Short Scale changes : Maintenance Project, Long term/major enhancements : Implementation Projects.
Also In this case to speak about the lock down. Well the Solution Directory kind of takes care of that for you.
I am assuming that you have a solution populated with business processes. So now if you want to enhance it with a new functionality, you would use an implementation project. So when you define the implementation project, and then navigate to Solar01, and try to add business scenarios , ensure that on the Structure tab you select the Solution as the source. This ensures you are copying content from your current, updated, productive solution. Once you do that, the implementation continues on its track, whilst daily support processes are managed with the check-in / check-out functionality of the Solution and the Maintenance Project.
You technically do not need to lock the business processes down, since the Compare and Adjust functionality of a solution will help you identify the deltas between the Solution and the implementation project and you can always make those adjustments post go-live and thus just update the Solution at one shot. Also remember that with SolMan 7.1 the Compare and Adjust functions can be used with Template, Implementation and Solutions in any permutation-combination.
Hope this helps.
Plz let me know if you need any additional information
Cheers!!

Linking solution manager projects with CHARM implementation project

Hi Guys,
Currently i am working in CHARM implementation project, i have created one CHARM implementation project with urgent correction and i am able to create the Transport request and release the transport request succesfully and i am able to move it to quality system successfully. But my customer is asking to link the solution manager project to CHARM implementation project.
Earlier before implementing CHARM they have implemented project managent in solution manager, during that project they have created so many projects which are currently running, now they want those projects to be linked CHARM implementation project.
When ever they create a transport request through CHARM they want the TP to be saved under a respective project which they are using currently. but according to my knowledge the TP can be saved under CHARM implementation project only.
Now i want to know whether the projects created in SOLAR_PROJECT_ADMIN can be linked to CHARM implementation project. Pls give ur valuable inputs as it is very urgent.
Thanks&Regards
Raju

Hello,
We have implemented this with two systems landscape where in we have in place a Solution Manager Dev system and Solution manager Production system both are SOLMAN 4.0 with SP12. So the path for us to move the changes is from Development Systems to Production system.
We have ChaRM between the Dev and production. We reapplied the satellite system concept. For us the Solution manager Prod is a satellite systems all the changes that we move from Development system to Production systems is tracked with necessary documentation in the ChaRM process.
Yes, I agree with you that this is not any big magic. Working with two SOLMAN implementation, I strongly feel that SAP needs to have well rounded ChaRm processes. We have robust Change Management Process, but when we moved to ChaRM we were limited functionality of the ChaRM processes.
I had approached and did some research on how other companies are implementing the same process. Most of them have almost the same process for tracking SOLMAN changes. I am still look out for improved process to manage SOLMA changes.
Hope this helps!!! Thanks

Implementation Project with ChaRM

Hello,
I'm on Solution Manager 7 EHP1 SP 6 and all configuration work for ChaRM has been completed. I've been following the DEMOs from SDN and SOLMAN-RKT and with some exceptions (some steps/screens are either no longer required or assumed); which leads me to believe that up to this point everything is working as is it should.
I'm still a little fuzzy when it comes to Implementation Projects. I have the following questions:
1. How are Non-IMG changes (Workbench) assigned to a project.
a. solar_project_admin -> System Landscape -> IMG only create a Customizing Request
2. In the Normal Corrections Demo, corrections are initiated through CRMD_ORDER, is this so during an Implementation Project?
3. In the DEMO there appears to be a Workflow notification process between task, is this active by default?
I know that's a lot all at once, but I finally got some momentum behind this and I want to keep it going. Thanks in advance for any information you can provide; points will be awarded.
Jose

Hi Jose,
1. How are Non-IMG changes (Workbench) assigned to a project.
a. solar_project_admin -> System Landscape -> IMG only create a Customizing Request
Once you have created a Change Request transaction (SDCR), you will be able to select the follow up change document, Normal correction (SDMJ) or U'gent Correction (SDHF) for example. Then you will create a transport request under this change document. This transport request will be available in the development system where you will perform your changes. For new objects the system will ask the transport request when you are creating the object, for changes in an existing object the system will ask for the transport request when save the change.
2. In the Normal Corrections Demo, corrections are initiated through CRMD_ORDER, is this so during an Implementation Project?
Yes, you can use CRMD_ORDER to create new change requests (SDCR) and select the Normal correction (SDMJ) in the subject field. Once this change request has been approved the Normal Correction will be created automatically. However you can create a new change request from a support message (SLFN) for example.
3. In the DEMO there appears to be a Workflow notification process between task, is this active by default?
I'm not sure if I have understood this last question, by default ChaRM doesn't have notifications. But you can setup this in the same way of support notification. Please take a look at the following link:

How to represent and document BI, SBOJ in an implementation project

Hello
We are working in an implementation project modeling all the scenarios, proceses and process steps. We want to represent as well all the BI, SBOJ and BPC information. We are thinking of creating specific scenario for those. We would like to get inputs about best practices regarding representation of BI and so on in Solution Manager, how to prepare the blueprint, what type of "functional" documentation, technical one, etc.. Then, how to manage the different objects in SOLAR02, what is available in config tab, development tab, only documents or we can have access from SOLAR02 to the different objects, and then navigate? I would like to have your view on this subject.

Charm in implementation project

Hi All,
Iam currently configuring charm in implementation project. We do not have QA and PRD systems build yet.
I have created transport routes DEV>VQA>VPR ie with QA and PRD as virtual systems.
Now how do I add this as virtual systems in logical component. If I create entry in SMSY manually, tomorrow when my QA and PRD systems are available, how do I change it?
Regards,
S

Hi,
For demo system you can create three additional clients say 100>dev, 100> QA, 300> PRD and 500> solution manager ( that will be your original client).
you can create logical component for the same in SMSY and also you need to set up the transport route accordingly.
you can test the entire charm functionality this way.
When you would be having your actual systems you can create another logical component and project for the real scenario in solution manager and adjust the transport routes and you can still keep the demo system active alongwith real system scenario in case you want that.
Regards,
Sarita
