Business Blueprint Structures in Solution Manager

Hi,
Can we change the structure node names under Business Blueprint tree on Solution manager. This is accessed by SOLAR01 transaction.
Thanks and Regards,
Vinayak Thorat

Hi Sai
answer is more simple the way you add standard business process in structure tab solar01, same way you can add master data or organization model for business process.
e.g.
you can add customer master or vendor master as a master data for a E2E process
in all the situation we use this because practically no process works without master data but its upto the level of documentation you want to make in solution manager rather than dumping project documents only and making it more meaningful by adding above
i hope you have got the answer now

Blueprint structure in Solution Manager

Dear all,
We are in the process of finalising a Blueprint structure in Solution Manager. As this is the first solution manager is being used in BW specific project we are a bit confused on the way we can structure the Blueprint. When i say the structure i mean, what all to be part of the Blueprint Business scenarios in SOlution manager. As solution manager asks a particular way of structuring it please help me.
Regards
Viajy

In SAP's BPR, BI is used as a process in a scenario not as it's own scenario.
For instance there is a Service Desk Scenario in the BPR, and there is a process called BI Reporting in this scenario. It is further broken down into the steps: Select Data for Analysis, Schedule Reporting, Schedule Process Chains, Edit the BI-Report and Analyze Data.
I've seen people create scenarios called Reporting or BI with all the reports in this node, however, this scenario isn't as reuseable. Meaning you''ve lost the link between your Scenario, such as Service Desk, and the reports that support the the Service Desk.

How do you restrict access to a business process structure in Solution Mngr

We have set up a business process structure in Solution Manager that includes Finance to Manage and Hire to Retire.
Although it is Ok for people to display the documentation in each area, we do have the requirement that the people owning Finance to Manage should not able to change the documentation in Hire to Retire and visa versa. Is there a security object that restrict this access? Are there other ways doing this?
Thanks
Paul

I am not a security person, but we have the following details in the profile. You can change these if you click on these areas changing it to display or change mode
SAP Solution Manager Tab AI_SA_TAB
--> SAP Solution Manager Tab
---> Activity 02, 90
---> Tab in SAP Solution Manager BCSETS, CONFIG, CUSTDOCU, GRAPHIC, IMG, ISSUE, (ETC.)
> Transaction Type in SAP Solution Manager 1
Hope this helps

How to downloadin Business Process Repository in Solution Manager?

Hello,
Does anybody know how to download whole Business Process Repository from solution manager?
I know how to download BPR, that are related to project, to excel file, but I want to download all the scenarios,processes are inbuilt to the Solution Manager business blueprint.
Can anybody help me?
Thanks,
Mahantesh

Hello Mahantesh,
I suppose that your idea behind this question is that you would like to browse the contents of the BPR. For this specific pupose, SAP will deliver a new web dynpro application with SAP Solution Manager 4.0 SP 12 and the respective stack coming out mid June 2007 which allows you to browse all BPR contents in your SAP Solution Manager system. So you no longer have to create a seperate project and select the contents via F4 value help in SOLAR01 in order to access the contents.
For further updates, please check the news mid June:
<a href="http://service.sap.com/solutionmanager">http://service.sap.com/solutionmanager</a>
Media Library -> Technical Papers. It will probably be called: "4.0 Support Package Stack <latest stack> [probably stack 12]"
However, please note that an individual download of the entire or partial BPR structures into MS Excel will not be possible.
Best regards,

Establishing current business process baseline in Solution Manager

Hello Guru,
We had implemented ECC 5.0 a year ago.
We had used business blueprint SOLAR01, SOLAR02, to document some of the business processes. We found ourself currently have an incompleted business process blueprint.
We want to use Solution Manager to manage the ECC 6.0 upgrade, how do we establish the current business process baseline?
Is there a tool that will browse through ECC 5.0, and create business process map of what the current business processes that have been implemented, and the configuration objects that have been customized?
Thanks in Advance,
Anny

Hi Anny,
I am afraid there isn't a tool that can help retrospectively build SOLAR01 or SOLAR02 related structure and contents.
The only three possible areas for exploration I can suggest for you to investigate further, are:
(1) Use of Reverse Business Engineer (RBE)
(2) Use of SAP TAO to at least build Testing scope retrospectively
(3) Seek any views from IDS-Scheer on whether they have any plug ins for ARIS that can do a retrospective process mapping

Business process (Integration) monitoring - Solution Manager?

Hi Experts
I have a requirement here for business process monitoring at my client. The client wants to have a solution for monitoring of few key business processes for example incoming orders. The flow data flow is as follows: third party system -> AS2 -> XI1 ->XI2 -> MQ->ERP. Ideally, all the incoming messages should be processed within 3 minutes of sending by thirdy party system. The basic requirement from business to have a view of the number of messages sent by the external system and numbers of orders created in the system and if there is any message with processing time of more than 3 minutes, it should be reported. Also, if there is any failure in any of the points of failure - the reason of failure needs to be reported
I am thinking of using solution mnaager diagnostics and willy introscope for collecting data from XI Adapter framweork and Integration engine and the ERP system.
My queries -
Can solution manager fetch the data from non SAP system - AS2 service/MQ etc? if yes, how?
The solution i am thinking of - is it good one or is there any better solution - light weight/performance efficient?
In case i go ahead with the approach mentioned above, would there be an extra licensing cost for installing SMD agents and Willy on different applications?
Can we do a simple reporting i ERP system by fetching data from XI1 & XI2 systems? I understand that it wouldnt give us any details of the Java components or non SAP applications, but keeping in mind the limitations, is it a viable solution?
Any inputs would be great.
Regards

HI Ethan,
I'm not sure about the BPMon framework in Sol MAn 7.0 if it can be used with PI or not. I remember from teched that the end-to-end monitoring for PI was available only in 7.1 and with SAP PI 711.
From what I know wily gives you information about the status on the system (CPU, memory consumption etc) and not about the message flow so you can still use it but for the technical monitoring set up.
Also in teched I have participated at a hands-on workshop (ALM361 [http://www.sapteched.com/emea/edu_sessions/session.htm?id=542]) where we enabled the BPMon framework to use webservices provided by a non-sap application.
Hope this helps.

Business Process Procedure from SOlution Manager

Hello Gurus,
I am working on technical upgradation from 4.7 E to ECC 6.0. We will have to create Business Process Procedures for each module. Could you please tell me how we need to extract the BPPS from solution manager.
Thanks and Regards,
Pavan P.

Hi Pavan,
The way to extract from BPS may be a long drawn one. The shorter way is to attempt the following:
Go to http://service.sap.com/solutionmanager, supply your OSS ID and password.
a) On the left hand panel, go to SAP Solution Manager in Detail -> Implementation -> Implementation Content
OR
b) Downloads -> view screen on the right hand side and then click on "overview of the current implementation content".
I'll try to figure out any other way and get back to you.

Business Process Repository in Solution Manager

My question on the BPR is two-fold:
1) Where exactly is the file located in the marketplace to update the BPR for Solution Manager 4.0? I've looked and I've searched and have been unsucessful in finding it?
2) From the current BPR in Solution Manager is it possible to extract the data there into a csv, txt or xls file? I've seen another thread in the forum on extraction (a link was provided) and unfortunately the link that was provided did not hold the information required to answer this particular question?
Regards
Dan

Hi Daniel,

Use of CRMD_Order with Solution Manager

When you create a change request through the CRMD_order how do you link it to a business process structure in Solution Manager? Through custom fields? Or are you obligated to start the initiation of a change request within solution manager through issue/message tab in configuration (SOLAR02)?

I do not know if anyone can confirm this , but I finally was able to assign the business scenarios from my business process structure to the solution with the source project.
(For those interested you have to go into transaction DSWP, Select Solution Landscape, go into Solution Landscape Maintenance, select your solution structure on the left side of the screen and get into business scenarios, make sure you are in change mode, then use the download under scenario name to select your scenarios).
When I create an issue and this is what I hope someone can confirm, go into context and add a business scenario, it doesn't show in SOLAR02 under the issues/messages tab.
This is somewhat inconsistent, as when I create an issue out of SOLAR02 it does assign the business scenario automatically and obviously will show in the list. I am not sure why it doesn't show when I create the issue out of DSWP.
Thanks
Paul

Solution Manager and Business Object

Hi all,
Have you seen any specific information (from SAP or others) indicating how SAP plan to integrate the Business Object Products into Solution Manager?
First of all I need information about the SOLAR01/02 transactions (e.g. will separate Business Objects development objects become available? Will ASAP be extended to include Business Objects Projects?)
Secondly I would like to know if the Operations scenario also will be enhanced in order to include Business Objects Solutions?
Any informations/links/etc. would be welcome
Thanks in advance
Peter Michael

Hi,
SOLAR01 - Business Blueprint
SOLAR02 - Configuration.
Implementation projects are projects to select and implement business processes in an SAP landscape. A Business Blueprint documents these business process requirements of a company. Collaborative business processes involve several companies
The Business Blueprint provides a common strategy of how your business processes are to be mapped into one or more SAP systems. The Business Blueprint documents in detail the scope of business scenarios, business processes, process steps, and the requirements of an SAP solution implementation.
A Business Blueprint comprises the following structure elements in a hierarchy:
Organizational Units
Master data
Business scenarios
Business processes
Process steps
You assign content, for example, project documentation, Business Configuration Sets or transactions, to individual structure elements, in the SAP Solution Manager.
SOLAR02(Configuration) configures the process requirements specified in the Business Blueprint phase, in the system. If you use objects from the Business Process Repository in your own structures, some of them are already assigned to transactions and BC Sets. If you create structures independently, i.e. without objects from the Business Process Repository, you can assign transactions in the transaction Business Blueprint. You can assign BC Sets, IMG objects and test cases/business test requirements, in the transaction Configuration.

Automatic creation of business partners in Solution Manager system in Charm

When I automatically create business partners in the Solution Manager system from the users in the satellite systems, they are created of type "Business Partner (Gen)" and they are not associated to the user with the same name id in the Solution Manager system, but they are connected to the remote users in the satellite systems. For this reason I change manually every business partner making it of type "employee" and connecting it to the user in the Solution Manager system. In this way I can use it like partner function. Is this the correct procedure to follow? If not, what do I have to do? Which is the correct way to generate business partners in the Solution Manager system from the users in the satellite systems?
Thanks
Antonello

Hi,
It is advisable to have the same login name for the satellite systems and SOLMAN user.
Business partner can be created thru tcode DSWP -> Select Solution -> Edit -> Create business partner.
You need to create a business partner only once by the above method, even if you have a number of satellite systems.
Once the BP is created , go to tcode BP -> select the business partner -- > In the Identification Tab, enter the systems which will be accessed by the user. Here you can also give the SLM system ID in addition to the other satellite systems.
The employee connection process which you do is correct

Multiple logical components for a single step in Business Process Structure

Question 2 of 3:
I'd like to hear about how other people have handled Portals transactions and similar items. I.e. when building the Business Blueprint or Business Process Structure, what if a single transaction runs on more than one product or logical component? Solution Manager only allows you to assign one logical component to a process step and transaction in the Business Blueprint Structure. This isn't the ideal solution, since you lose the linear affect of the what transactions take place for the step.
Your insights and opinions are appreciated.
Regards,
Marcel

Hi Marcel,
an ABAP transaction can only run or at least be started on one single system. A portal transaction can be assigned using a URL. This doesn't need any logical component.

Andreas
