Books, Best Practice, CM Guides

Hi,
Can anybody point me towards a best practice, SCM Book or any other documentation that gives practical advice on how to set up and use SCM from a Config. Managers point of view - not a developers. The supplied documentation seems to be a bit thin on the ground in this respect.
I have experience of using other CM tools so I don't need an intro into general CM concepts - but do need something to help me relate this tool into the development lifecycle and release procedures.
I am also having problems finding documentation on the repository rules.
Any help appreciated.
Keith

Keith,
I have searched high and low for books on this topic without success. As far as I know, none exists, so I took the Oracle University class Using Oracle Repository for Software Configuration Management. This is a great class taught by Laura Garza who is quite knowledgeable on the subject.
Although the class does not cover 9i SCM (it uses 6i instead), I found the concepts readily applicable to the SCM. This is a three day class.

  • Inconsistency in best practice implementation guides

    Hi gurus.
    We are assisting a customer to install a Best Practice solution running Baseline Austrian 2.600 and IM&C 2.600.
    My main issue is the requirements for the supportpackages differ.
    This inconsistency are valid for all components, but exemplified here by the SAP_BASIS component.
    The Baseline 2.600 Austriandemands the following support package :
    http://help.sap.com/bp_blv1600/BL_Austria/documentation/BL_Quick_Guide_EN_AT.doc
    SAP_BASIS     700     0010     SAPKB70010     SAP Basis Component
    The Industry Solution IM&C 2.600 demands the following support package
    http://help.sap.com/bp_bblibrary/600/Documentation/E00_BB_InstallGuide_EN_DE.doc
    SAP_BASIS     700     0007     SAPKB70007     SAP Basis Component
    Both installation guides contain similar statements that support packages must me on correct version, not higher and not lower, otherwise only limitied support can be given.
    Anyone that have had any similare experience or anyone that can give me some pointers on what to do?

  • Question About CRM Best Practices Configuration Guide...

    In the CRM Connectivity (C71) Configuration Guide, Sections 3.1.2.2.2 and 3.1.2.2.3, it mentions two clients, Cient 000 and the Application Client.  What are these two client?  I assumed Client 000 was my CRM client, but that sounds the same as what the application client should be.
    http://help.sap.com/bp_crmv340/CRM_DE/BBLibrary/Documentation/C71_BB_ConfigGuide_EN_US.doc

    Keith,
    Client 000 is not the application client.
    The client which is used in the middleware(e.g.CRM quality client - R/3 Quality client or CRM Production client-R/3 Production client)is the application client.
    You have to do it once in client 000 and in your own created client which is used in the middleware connectivity.
    regards,

  • Help in C14: E-Commerce Best Practices Configuration Guide!

    Hello,
    I am using CRM 5.0 System and following [C14: E-Commerce Configuration guide|http://help.sap.com/bp_crmv340/CRM_DE/BBLibrary/Documentation/C14_BB_ConfigGuide_EN_US.doc] and stuck up at the following points:
    1. As per the step 4.1.4.2 XCM Configuration for User Administration, when i try to login in http://<host>:<port>/isauseradm/admin/xcm/init.do using my user id i get No Authorization error message, even after assigning the SAP_J2EE_ADMIN role to my user id. Do i need any other role to login into this URL? Anyhow, I continued this step by using J2EE_ADMIN user account and created a new configuration scenario called TEST_APP and also created and assigned a new JCo component with my back end CRM details and did a test which was also success.
    2. In step 4.1.4.5 Creating the Super User for the Customer, when i try to access the url http://<host>:<port>/isauseradm/useradmin/init.do?scenario.xcm=TEST_APP the url automatically redirects to https://<host>:<port>/isauseradm/user/secureSwitch.do and i get a browser message saying that The page cannot be displayed. Without this step i cannot move further. I even restarted CRM Server and still the result is the same.
    Can anyone please explain why i am getting this "Page cannot be displayed" message instead of what's written in the configuration guide? And why couldn't i login using my user id even after assigning myself SAP_J2EE_ADMIN role?
    Thanks and Regards,
    Vasu

    Hi Vasu,
    Please check the assigned authorization objects for the role SAP_J2EE_ADMIN using PFCG transaction. In the standard SAP doesn't add any authorizations to the role, so that you can't really use it to login to XCM applications.
    Do not forget to reward the useful answers

  • Favorite / Best Practice / Useful MTE's ??!?!

    Hi Everyone,
    I'm setting up monitoring on a multi-system architecture; i've got all of the agents working and reporting to my CEN. I've even got the auto-response email all set up, great!
    I've been looking around for any best practice on what MTE's (out of the 100's there!) I should be setting up virtual and rule based nodes for.
    So come on everyone...what are your favorite MTE's. Of course I'm looking at Dialog Response Times, and Filesystem %'s -- but any other tips? hints? tricks? Any neat MTE's out there that you love to check.
    A best practice / useful guide would be brilliant?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Best Practices for multiple authors using single project?

    We are having many issues, particularly with moving, renaming, and multiple check out warnings.  We have a single project with many authors and it seems like RH is not designed to work that way. There is an article in the RH devnet-archive in an article entitled "Sharing RoboHelp Project Among Multiple Authors" that says"
    "At first there may be the temptation to let every author work on every file in a project.  This is certainly not a best practice. Regardless of source contraol, it is always best to designate certain authors as owning certain content-related sections, folders, or topics within a project -particulary at the folder level."
    This statement, and our experience seems to indicate that RH is not a true CMS as we had envisioned.  What are the best practices for this scenario to avoid stepping on each others toes and having problems with source control.

    I have moved this to the source control forum for the gurus there to answer.
    Meantime I must admit I read that statement the same way as you first time. However, on rereading I think what the author is saying is not that what you want cannot be done, rather it is best practice to guide authors to work in discrete areas.
    I will leave it to the author or another guru to give you a more complete answer.

  • BPC7.5NW - Work Status SAP Best Practices

    Hello Experts,
    I would like to get your expert opinion on the Work Status settings.
    Usually, we configure work status settings at the Application Set and Application levels.  At the application level, we do the configuration to lock down the data region based on the dimensions present in the Application Set.  SAP help website says that between 3 and 5 dimensions are enough to define a data region and lock it.
    I would like to know if there is an SAP best practice, that guides the user about what dimension types to use?  For example, 'C' type, 'E' type and 'T' type, etc.
    Your help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    It would mainly driven by your user requirements. Generally you would have entity, time and category in the work status. Entity is used if you want users to set the status to 'submitted' for example, for their entities. Apart from these three if you beleive there is a reason for you to include your datasource for example, you can specify. You cannot use the account dimension though.
    Generally Entity,Cat & time are the common ones. Please let me know if you need any further details.
    Thanks,

  • Looking for a best-practices guide for developing in TestStand

    I am looking for a best-practices guide for developing in TestStand. LabVIEW has its style guides and books, but there is very little published about TestStand.
    Also, and I mention this since NI checks these entries as well, how about adding TestStand to the NI Developer Zone?
    Thanks in advance for any leads or documents you can provide!

    Thanks! I was stuck on entering "TestStand best practices" into NI's search engine, and never thought of entering "TestStand style guide."
    If anyone knows of additional pertinent content, I would appreciate hearing about it.

  • Best practice guide for Batch Load utility in Oracle UCM.

    Hi,
    Is there any best practice guide for Oracle UCM Batch Loader utility.
    We are looking for information regarding batch size in terms of number and size of contents. Also is there any loading time standards considering the contents are uploaded in filesystem where filestore provider is configured?
    Thanks,
    Krishnendu

    Hi ,
    There are no specific set of steps / practices for batch loading contents to ucm . It would be very much dependent on how many contents does the user have to load to UCM and how well the server is configured in terms of performance .
    You can get more details from the following documentation link : http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21043_01/doc.1111/e10792/c02_settings009.htm

    Are there any best practice oracle EBS documents around general management and operation functionality in Oracle EBS - that would be useful from an audit standpoint.
