BI system landscape scenarios

Hi all,
I am giving demo to my client on BI system landscape and they are expecting to make presentation with different kind of scenarios like if BI system connects with multiple SAP source what kind of guildelines should follow to build BI system, I didn't find any documentation regarding this in any where, so if any one have idea of this please let me know and treat it as very urgent.
Thanks in Advance,
Ravi.

System Landscape using multiple clients scenario for BW

Hi Friends,
I have a scenario where I want to use multiple BW clients based on single server.
I have made client copy of the development server and want to transport the objects
to the target clients.
I am aware that such a scenario works fine in R/3 and infact i have used it
.But in BW when i hit RSA1 I get an error message "you can only use client(010)"-my development client of which copy was made.
The client copy system is 102.
Now I read a thread on sdn which said change client entry in RSADMINA table .I changed it ,but I think its cross client table and hence RSA1 is neither workinging in client copy or the parent system.I reverted back entry in client 102 and saw that development client working again fine like before.(also RSADMINA) value changed in 010.
I have tried to fix it by creating appropriate mappings using SCC4/BD54/SALE/WE20/RZ10
.Also created mapping WE20 for Partner profile and assigned the logica system.
Is it possible to have such a system landscape?
Can anyone give some useful suggestions?

Hi..thanks to all of you....
I think this thing boils down to table RSADMINA where you maintain entry for your client.
The primary key there is 'Customizing ID' and when you specify there "BW" .You can't make another entry for another MANDT with another customizing id.
Whenever u login to any other client and you change entry of MANDT it is going to be reflected to all the clients and thats what is the issue.So you can't mantain mulitple entries as you can't enter two customizing ids. there.
Infact there are many reasons in the background as well which the sap note mentions like common number ranges..etc.
Lastly ..Ofcourse as Siggi said you can have another R/3 or CRM system etc on the same server but no two BW clients.I think SAP should not allow client copy for BW on the same server..it will help some bad efforts
Thanks for the support everyone.
Regards,
Rakesh

Unable to read software component version from System Landscape Directory "

I've worked in past creating/importing SWCV, but this is new system PI7.0 and stuck.
A) Is my understanding on resolution correct?
Should I go and apply notes 940309 and create client copy of existing client 001
 OR
change role of client 001; SXMB_ADMIN -> 'Integration Engine Configuration' to 'Integration Server'
I have no problem in using client 001 as Integration server, all I want is import of SWCV to work. Thanks. Appreciate the help.
B) Here is what I have done and the error:
1) Followed weblog below and created product, software component, technical system, business sytem in SLD.
/people/srinivas.vanamala2/blog/2007/02/05/step-by-step-guide-xml-file-2-xml-file-scenario-part-i
2) When I import the SWC from integration repository getting error
(Unable to read software component version from System Landscape Directory "server:5<system number>00").
C) Pointers used from the forum to debug the issue, but still no luck
Below are the points checked from the forum and all steps are correct, but still have issues with the import
1) check the RFCs SAPSLDAPI, LCRSAPRFC, connection test pass as the program ID registered with Jco
2) T-code SLDCHECK no errors (followed http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/de/78/20244134a56532e10000000a1550b0/content.htm)
3) T-code SLDAPICUST got user PIAPPLUSER, pwd is correct (reset the pwd)
4) logged using PIAPPLUSER http://server:port/sld and it works
5) One of the weblog SLD Check Failed (LCR_LIST_BUSINESS_SYSTEMS function doesn't work) referred to apply notes 940309
Notes: 940309
You are installing 'SAP NetWeaver 2004s SR1 ABAP+Java' Usage Type 'NetWeaver Process Integration (PI)'.
You don't want to use the default client 001, but another client as Integration Server.

applied portion (PIPostInstallProcess) of OSS notes 940309 and it resolved.
Note:
I still retained client 001 and didn't do client copy as mentioned in the notes. The wizard based CTC tool helped. Here are the details if someone has similar issue and want to know further details:
A NetWeaver Process Integration (PI) Installation (ABAP+Java) has two parts: Installation and configuration. The former is done by the Installer, the latter by the 'Central Template Configuration' (CTC) Tool.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/14/39084136b5f423e10000000a155106/frameset.htm
1. Call the wizard-based configuration tool as described in Configuration Wizard.
 2. Select the scenario PI and the task PIPostInstallProcess.
 3. Choose Execute.
A list of the steps to be executed by the wizard is displayed.
 4. Choose Install.

Warning: Problems occurred during synchronization of the system landscape

Hello
I have created systems in system landscape, TMS is working fine, all the configuration steps are completed successfully.
am working in Solution Manager 4, in project change -SOLAR_PROJECT_ADMIN - Project Administration - in 'System Landscape' tab  Change request and when I activate change request management I am getting following messages:
1. Warning: Problems occurred during synchronization of the system landscape
2. The project is not released. Hence cycle can not be created.
Its bit urgent as I m in middle of this activity, please assist me on the same
Thanks
Sharmishtha

Hello Jason & Prakhar
Thanks for your quick response. I am basis person, and configuring this change request management for one of the project.
Jason:
Will you please check with your basis person about these settings and let me know the same. I have set the settings as follows
C= Development (source system)
T = Quality
P = Production
Prakhar:
I have checked with all RFC connections are working fine, authorizations are also properly given.
I didnt get your point No correctly defined maintenance project exists, I have already created project in project administration transaction, assigned the system landscape, I have activated project IMG in IMG Project and then going in change request tab to activate the change request management, where its giving me above error.
More over, as you have mentioned I am getting following message in SLG1:
Project CHARM_GBW not found in the project administration table
This is asking me to do following things:
Synchronize the project in Change Manager with the Solution Manager. Call the Solution Manager with the transaction SOLAR_PROJECT_ADMIN, and go to the 'System Landscape' tab, and then the 'Project Cycle' tab. Select the 'Change Request Management' field, and choose 'Refresh'. Project CHARM_GBW should then be available.
Where do I have to make entry for this? I can see the entry in /TMWFLOW/PROJMAP table too. I dont know what more I need to do for this.
Problem is I cant see Project Cycle tab in System Landscape. Prakhar, frankly I am not able to find any step wise document on this part. So will you please help me with some documents on this? I am from technical side thus there is bit difficulty to understand this scenario from functional view.
I will be grateful for your help,
Thanks
Sharmishtha

System Landscape?

Hi experts,
(Q1). Im new to SAP XI and recently Ive attended an interview with an MNC. There the interviewer asked to draw complete system landscape (all systems which are integrated with XI). I told him that Ive configured JDBC, File (with content conversions), IDOC, RFC and SOAP adapters. I need a sample system landscape wherein I can show all the systems involved in configurations and it shud cover all the above mention adapters. In which scenario we use JDBC adapterI
(Q2). In a system landscape do we maintain a single File server or every system will have there own file servers. If only a single file server exists then how we can configure file2file scenario using RFC?
(Q3). In which scenario we use JDBC adapter.I mean can we send the data directly to DB lets say SQL Server without using any front-end applications.
Thanks in advance
Faisal
Points will be given to the correct answers.

hi abdul,
for covering all adapters
u need 3 system
1)SAP r/3 system(RFC,IDOC)
2)any third party system for webservice say Enterprise Portal system(SOAP)
3)one Oracle System(JDBC)
(Q2). In a system landscape do we maintain a single File server or every system will have there own file servers. If only a single file server exists then how we can configure file2file scenario using RFC?
System Landscape refers to the systems u r integrating in ur organization.
for example in our organization we are integrating SAP r/3 which carries "XYZ" data and we need to reflect this data in oracle database too.
so in this scenario we are integrating SAP system with Oracle.
our landscape consist of 2 systems one is SAP and other is Oracle.
sometimes it also refers to DEV QAS and PRD systems of XI .
in ur case we can have multiple file servers it depends,
if single file server exists then we can do file to file scenarion on the same server like get one file from one folder and dump to another folder.
and from where RFC has come
RFC is used to integrate SAP system with other systems
think he was trying to misguide u.
(Q3). In which scenario we use JDBC adapter.I mean can we send the data directly to DB lets say SQL Server without using any front-end applications.
yes in this case we use JDBC when we want to hit database directly without any front end application.
Thanks & Regards,

Best practice: Webdynpro in a large system landscape

Dear Sirs,
I have a few questions about using Webdynpro (WD) in a large system landscape. After doing some research I understand there are a few alternatives, and I would like to get your opinions on the issue and links to any relevant documentation. I know most of my questions do not have a single answer, but I hope we can get a disussion, which will highlight the pro/cons.
My landscape consists of a full set of ECC and portal servers (DEV, QA, P) , where using WD to fetch BABIs from the backend and present them in the portal is a likely scenario.
Deploy the WD components on portal servers or on separate servers?
Would you deploy the WD components on the portal WAS or would you advice having a (or a number) of servers dedicated to running WD.
The way I see it, when you are having a large number of developers, giving away the SDM password to the portal server (DEV) in order for them to test WD applications is not advisable (or perhaps more true, not wanted by the basis). So perhaps a separate WAS for development of WD is advisable, and then let basis deploy them into the portal QA and PROD server. I do not think that each developer having its own local J2EE for testing is likely.
How about performance?, will any solution be preferable over an other. Will it be faster/slower to run WD on separate WAS.
Transporting the WD components
How should one transport the components and keep them pointing to the right JCO connections (as you have different JCO connections for (DEV, QA, P)), I have seen example with threads where you opt for a dynamic setting of the JCO connections through parameters. Is this the one to prefer?
Any documentation on this issue would be highly appreciated. (Already read: System Landscape Directory, SAP System Landscape Directory on SAP Web AS Java 6.40)

Look into using NWDI as your source code control (DTR) and transport/migration from dev through to production. This also will handle the deployment to your dev system (check-in/activate).
For unit testing and debugging you should be running a local version (NWDW). This way once the code is ready to be shared with the team, you check it in (makes it visible to other team members) and activate it (deploys it to development server).
We are currently using a separate server for WD applications rather than running them on the portal server. However, this does not allow for the WD app to run in the new WD iView. So it depends on what the WD app needs to do an have access to. Of course there is always the Federated Portal Network as an option, but that is a whole other topic.
For JCo connections, WD uses a connection name and this connection can be set up to point to different locations depending on which server it is on. So on the development server the JCo connection can point to the dev back-end and in prod point to the prod back-end. The JCo connections are not migrated, but setup in each system.
I hope this helps. There is a lot of documentation available for NWDI to get you started. See: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005/helpdata/en/01/9c4940d1ba6913e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm

ChaRM - Mainenance Cycle in two system landscape - possible?

Hi Experts,
we are trying to create a maintenace cycle with two systems.
We have a system defined as "Evaluation System" and the second is defined as "Production System".
Generally Question
Is it possible to create a maintenace cycle for a two-system-scenario?
Specific Question - Erorrs/Warnings
While checking the project we got several errors/problems:
1 Differences between BC Set SOLMAN40_CHARM_BASICFUNC_001 and database
2 Differences between BC Set SOLMAN40_SDESK_BASICFUNC_000 and database
3 No consolidation system found for EID-800 (project Z_CRM_T)
4 No track for project Z_CRM_T with log. system EID/800
5 Message from function module /TMWFLOW/CHECK_PRJ_CONS: No export system for CBI-001
CTS
The transport system is configured correct - Check in STMS is OK
Question:
The comparison checks seem to be OK - is it necessary to reactivate the BC Sets?
Kind regards
Tom

Hi,
the system role for your client/systems in the logical component is very important:
- The development system needs to be defined as a Source System.
- If you don't have a QA, leave all target systems empty. If there are one or more consolidation/integration/regression systems, assign them to system role Target System.
- Your production system uses system role Production System.
The defined Development client needs a client dependent (TMS parameter CTC=1) consolidation track to the QA, or in a 2 Tier landscape to the production system. In a 3 Tier landscape you need a delivery track from QAS client to your production client. But as you wrote, TMS has been set up already. I just would like to mention all steps....
Check that all RFC connections have been set up correctly. Especially the Trusted RFC. Don't forget the Trusted RFC to client 000 ot the TMs domain controller.
In tab Systems ( transaction code SOLAR_PROJECT_ADMIN => System Landscape ):
Make sure you see all clients of your logical component. If not hit button System Role Assignment and add your System role.
Then still in the same tab: Hit button Shipment Routes and make sure, you see the complete transport track and only this track here!
After correct setup of TMS, RFCs, logical components and assignment of LC to your project:
First perform a Refresh and a Check in transaction code SOLAR_PROJECT_ADMIN => System Landscape => Change Requests. Then please recreate the maintenance cycle (and task list).
Regards,
Holger

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

How to design a demo system landscape

Hello,
I need to build up a system landscape for demos and would like to ask if there are any best practices. I need a portal and would like the ESS/MSS-scenario with an IDES system. But using the IDES system everytime I need it I have to build up the data for the current time period. Is there any possiblity in IDES (or IDES successors, if there is one) to generate data for current time periods?
How are you handling the data of your demo systems?
Thanks a lot,
Vanessa

Hello,
Read about IDES release strategy and found this:
A New version of IDES is available with every correction release. It is not possible to upgrade an existing IDES version to a new release. You can, however, install service packages for the corresponding correction release. This means that every new IDES Release involves a new installation. The IDES Release Strategy ensures that you always get new master data, transaction data, customizing functions, and documentation that are tested and checked for quality.
Seems installing the new release of IDES will be the most probable solution.

Shailesh

Chram 4 system Landscape

Dear Friends,
One of our syetem has 4 system landscape and we have activated the same for chram process
Dev -> QA -> Pre-PRD -> PRD
Dev has the system Role as Source system
QA and Pre-PRD has the system role Target system
PRD has the system rolePRoduction system
We have observed a scenario where
I import the request to QA from dev and then I put back the UC to Indevelopment status.
When I try to import the request once again to QA system without modifying the old request or creating a new request,
Import is happening to Pre-Prd system and not to QA system.
But incase of resetting the status back to Indevelopment after moving to QA. I create a new transport request and try to move to QA and the objects are moved to QA and not to pre-prd system.
Can any one suggest how to avoid import to pre-prd directly.
Regards
Lohith

Hi Nesemi,
Thanks for your reply.
As you have said "This process ensures that only your successfull "A`n" change will be migrated to production and all other copies "A`n-1" wont be moved to production".
Here, before testing if the User by mistake, has set the status to Indevelopment, and when he tries to do a reimport to QA the request is getting imported to Pre-Prd. So in this case before succesfull testing, the objects are moved to Pre-PRD system.
Our main concern is that the PRD and Pre-PRD systems should be coinsistant. Is there any configurations availble where I can unlock the task list of the second target system( Pre-PRD) only on successfull testing in QA.
Regards
Lohith

4-system landscape

Hi,
We have a scenario were we might need to have 4-system landscape, need advise:
We currently have 3-system landscape DEV/QAS/PRD (ERP 6.0/Linux/Oracle).
There is a new major develpemnt project comming our way and need to know how to plan our system landscape for the development and testing environment. The new project might last 6 months and during this developement phase there is major master data changes/configuration. During this phase how do we make sure the current production support is carried out effectively ? since the new developement/testing would have changed the data/configuration in our DEV and QAS box.
Is it possible to have 2 different development system ? in the landscape ?
Also is it possible to have 2 different Quality systems for 2 groups of developers ?
If so how would it fix into out current landscape ?
Or is there an alternative way to achieve this ?
Thanks

Hi Baigsa,
Thanks for your reply and valuble suggestion.
This is what I am thinking of doing
Before golive
DEV->QAS->PRD - this remains as it is for (BAU) business as usual transports. And a new landscape consisting of DE2 and QA2 is setup from copies of DEV and QAS rescpectively.
Any transport released from DEV for BAU is also applied to DE2 and QA2.
DEV->DE2->QA2
During Go-Live all transports created in DE2 and which has passed testing in QA2 are moved to PRD.
After go-live the DE2 and QA2 becomes the main development and quality systems
DE2->QA2->PRD.
Is this a suggested approach according to your suggestion ?
Am I missing somthing here
Thanks

ChaRM for a 5 system landscape

Hi all,
we got a requirement to implement charm for 5 system landscape. but the problem is
currently the scenario followed for the rollout is
1. AA(DEV-proj)--> BB(QUA - proj)
Then the TR is forwarded from BB system to the maintenance landscape
DEV>QUA> PROD
they don't want to implement retrofit functionality.
is there any way we can mapp this scenario to charm.
kindly advice in this regard.
Thanks,
Subhashini.

Hi Ragu,
Thanks for the reply.
currently a two systems are separated from the maintenance landscape.
they are forwarding the TRs to the development system.
is there any way we create 2 tracks.
1. AA-BB-DEV-QUA-PROD
2. DEV-QUA- PROD
again i not having a clear idea on how to differentiate the tracks as both leads to the same production system.
or is there any way develop a custom method for forwarding this TR to the DEV system.
kindly sugggest on how to go about.
Thanks ,
Subhashini.

SolMan ChaRM - System landscape not ready yet

Hi all,
We are configuring ChaRM for an implementation use, therefore all the systems are not set up yet.
Is it possible in SolMan to define logical component without "real" systems ?
We saw that in STMS it was possible to create virtual systems, but how do we link these virtual systems to SolMan ChaRM ?
Is it possible to define a virtual system landscape and to build and configure ChaRM scenario with this ?
Thanks a lot for all your help,
Regards.

Yes, it is possible to define a development system and virtual systems (Q- and P-System).
Via transaction SMSY you can describe the planned Q- and P-System at first as 'virtual'.
Create transport routes with transport buffers as you would do for existing systems.
Define the buffers as they should be named in future.
For experimental purposes we connected our IDES-System to our development SolMan system.
In this environment we could map such a ChaRM-configuration.
In the meantime we practiced it in our production SolMan system, too.
Best regards
Horst

3 system and 4 system landscape - Charm

Dear All,
We have 3 system landsacpe for ECC and 4 System Landscape for BI?
Is it possible to configure CHaRM for these landscape?
If yes, please give me step by step guidelines.
How to create Maintenance Cycle?
Raj

Hi Raj,
This is possible. The three system landscape is the usual scenario. In four system landscap, you just need to add a pre-production system in your landscape.
Go to the Wiki http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/SM/Weblogs%20related%20to%20Solution%20Manager and search for Change Request Management. There are some 10 docs available there. Specifically have a look on
First steps to work with Change Request Management scenario
/people/dolores.correa/blog/2008/07/26/first-steps-to-work-with-change-request-management-scenario
Call service.sap.com/rkt-solman. You can find the materials for project prepration, corrections etc.
Call SPRO in your solman system and go through the documentation provided there.
This will give you adequate information for configuring ChaRM.
Rajeev

System landscape changes after activating charm

I need to change the system landscape on a maintenance project. I need to add an additional QA client to the project landscape. I have open change requests that I can not move to production yet so I can not complete the project. I have created another project and tested forcing the cycle closed and creating a new cycle, but the change docs are associated to the old cycle number. I have followed the steps in the charm FAQ for closing inconsistent project cycles (note 933705), but I couldnu2019t re-associate the change docs with the new cycle or project. I would think the need to change the landscape when you have open change docs would come up fairly often. If someone has successfully done this would you please provide the steps?
Thanks
Jeff

Hi Jeff,
ChaRM supports the logical component changes and also with modifiable transport orders.
Please take a look at the following link:
Change Request Management scenario: Usual questions and known errors
/people/dolores.correa/blog/2009/07/22/change-request-management-scenario-usual-questions-and-known-errors
6. Changes in the logical components of a project where Charm is already activated
8. Completing a task list
A task list can be closed even with modifiable transport orders according to note 1071412 "Completing a task plan with changeable transport requests".
Then when you create a new cycle, the system automatically assigns these processes and objects to the new cycle. This is also logged in application log. To display the log entries, you can use transaction /TMWFLOW/MAINTINST. Navigate to the tab with your project type (usually the maintenance project) and choose 'Create...' and 'Execute'. Then select the required project and choose 'Messages at Time of Creation'.
