Edited by: Koji Watanabe on Feb 16, 2012 1:52 AM

Hellow Watanabe-san
Could you explain little bit mroe about what you are looking
for ?
Are you looking for the way to document Business Process in SolMan ?
Or
Are you looking for the way to monitor your business process in
the backedn system ?
The link that vasanthgobi mentioned is the SAP help on business
process monitoring.
Documentation topic
In SAP Solman, you can document your business process in following
2 area. Project area and Solution area. Project area is mainly used
for implementation phase or initial documentation. Solution area is
used for operation phase.
And to support the documentation, SAP Solman provides several
supporting tools for project area (you can copy the document in
project area to solution later).
In SolMan 7.1, if you want to document your business process,
you may have following possibility.
(General motivation for the documentation, please refer to the
this blog http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/27054.
And service Market Place
http://service.sap.com/esacademy (login in english)
=>meet the expert =>Replay Library.
=>SAP Solution manager =>Solution Documentation )
1.Upload via EXCEL (initial upload) and adjust in project area
<Create templete via project, and create excel content locally
and upload to project area>
2.Maintain business process by using Business Blue print function
<Using more graphical instead of SolMan screen>
Also refer to these blogs
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/28304
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/27212
And service market place link (webinar)
http://service.sap.com/esacademy (login in english)
=>meet the expert =>Replay Library.
=>SAP Solution manager =>Business Process Blueprint
3.Start initial documentation using RBPD content and adjust it in
project area
<SAP and IBIS develop analysis content based on the business
process repository. By using this content, you can execute
analysis for ERP and can get process utilization info.
And you can create initial process from this>.
Also refer to these blogs
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/26074
And service market place link
http://service.sap.com/rbpd
4.Document manually in project area
(Also ARIS integration is possible).
In above case, if you use RBPD content, yes, you have some step
related to the backend system (collecting process execution statistic
in ERP). But in other case, you do not have any activity to ERP.
For RBPD, it collects the data by using job, and you can control
the number of WP to be used. The runtime will be depending your
ERP system size.
Business Process Monitoring topic
In SolMan, there are business process monitoring functionality.
Actually, it is not only the monitoring, but also you can use it
for business process improvement.
Basically in business process monitoring related tools,
there are 2 main tools
1.Business Process Monitoring tool - Monitoring
2.Business Process Analytics tool - Analysis & benchmarking
(Also there are dashboard).
Business Process Monitorings enables monitoring of your core
business process from technical and application side.
The tool can monitor specific job(normal job/BW process chain),
interface(IDoc, tRFC, qRFC etc), performance, and also different
types of transaction document like sales order, delivery,
purchase order, production ordet etc.
For transaction monitoring, there are pre-defined template
(best practice).
Also it allows to monitor any table (z/y-table also).
And the Analytics tool is the tool based on the BW.
By using this, you can do benchamarking, trend analysis,
backlog analysis.
In more, I highly recommend to check the series of blog
by Volker. And FAQ document.
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/u/251688346
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/SM/FAQBusinessProcess+Monitoring
There are configuration document in service market place also.

Hope this helps you.

Need xRPM 4.0 Business Process Documentation

Hi Friends,
Can anybody help me by providing xRPM 4.0 Business Process documentation.
Thank and Regards,
Naga Surendra

Hi Sugata,
the note mentioned by Yasar refers to xRPM 2.0
Here is what I can tell you about the system architecture of xRPm 4.0
> 
> 1.With what all technologie(s) this application was
> developed? Is it completely Webdynpro or some part is
> developed in BSP? If it's dynpro then how much prtion

> 
xRPM 4.0 was built on 2 technologies. The Back-End Business Logic was implemented in ABAP and the UI in Java WebDynpro. The get the xRPM running you would need at minimum a ABAP WAS 7.0 and a JAVA WAS 7.0. Additionally you need the Enterprise Potal 7.0. Currently xRPM 4.0 is on SP09. If you want to use the preconfigured BW content you have to have a BW 7.0 installed with the 7.0.3 content

> 2. If more than one technology is used then which
> part is developed in which technology?

see above.

> 3. Can any standard objects can be modified or not?
> If yes, then how?

Yes, you can change all standard objects in the backed (business logic), as you maybe already know from other ABAP based applications.
The UI elements are not that easy to change. Here you have either the possibility to use field configurtion to hide / display fields or you can change the navigation by configuration tables. There are also possibilities for system administrators and users to personalize e.g. the table layout.
>

>
You can create your own Java Web Dypro screens and add them to xRPM by configureing the navigation panel.
I hope I could help you a little bit with my answers.
Kind regards Renato

Business Process Management - End-to-End Analysis and Performance KPI's

Hello,
I am from WB and were looking to expand our footprint with Business Process Monitoring.
For critical business processes (order to cash, release to accounting, procure to pay; create shopping cart, etc.) how can be map and determine for the business units the expected run times as well as capturing / reporting historical trend analysis; looking at from a company business process level and not an SAP transaction level.
We were disappointed that we were unable to find this detailed functionality in SolMan (dashboards, metrics, customizable reports, etc.) that could tell us how long a WB business process takes to execute form start to finish.
Does anyone have any info as to if NetWeaver BPM can capture and trend the complete A-Z run times of a Business Process?
Iu2019m I missing something here?! I would think something this basic would automatically be a part of SolMan BPM Monitoringu2026
Appreciate all and any feedback.
Thanks!

manu
( PLEASE CORRECT ME , IF I AM WRONG. BUT ANYWAY I WANT TO KNOW THE BUSINESS PROCESS OF GTS. SO PLZZ HELP)
Edited by: manu m on Nov 14, 2008 6:48 AM

Manu,
To find the answer that works best for you, also take a look at some of the other threads in this GTS forum where similar questions were asked.
A good point to start is the SAP Library: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_gts72/helpdata/en/b1/8dc5c62c885046ab71fdcddc6ad2c2/frameset.htm
If your company owns a GTS license you will also be able to download the GTS implementation guides from the SAP Marketplace. The implementation guides will provide step-by-step instructions for setting up GTS.
In the Procure-to-pay process GTS would typically be used for sanctioned part list screening of the vendor and other business partners and to handle import license processing, duty determination and creation of import documentation. SAP-GTS also contains standard interfaces to clear imports electronically with the customs authorities in several countries in Europe and the US.

SAP business processes - HR

Hi gurus,
Can you please tell me where I can find standard SAP business processes (not any client specific) ?
For example, 1. Benefits - from enrollement, changes, termination.
2. Payroll - Hire employee, maintain pay roll area, payroll status, then maintain IT 07, 08 ,,, then run Payroll Run program(what is the program name), then how to transfer the results to FI.
3. Time - what are the infotypes maintained (why), then what/which is the time evaluation program, how the time results used in calculation of Payroll...
Please let reply if you have any general idea where to search for this (any module is ok)?
Can some one please help?
thanks,
Rupali.

Hi Rupali,
There is not really any such thing as "standard business processes". There are best practices, but generally these are not really documented. Business processes vary from business to business. SAP has functionality and the ability to adapt the system to meet many business process scenarios.

Luke

Best Practices for ASAP Inputs - As-Is Business Process Mapping

I am new to the SAP world and my company is in the early phases of implementation. I am trying to prepare the "as-is" business process maps for the Project Preparation and Business Blueprint phases and I am looking for some best practices. I've been told that we don't want them to go too deep but are there best practices and/or examples that give more information on what we should be capturing and the format.
I have searched the forums, WIKI, ASAP documentation, and other areas but have not found much at this level of detail. I have reviewed the [SAP BPM Methodology|http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/SAPBPX/BPM+Methodology] but again I am looking for more detail if anyone can direct me to that.
Thank you in advance for any assistance.
Kevin

Hello Kevin,
You can try to prepare a word document for each of your As-Is processes first before going to As-Is Process Design in a flowchart.
The word document can have 7 sections -
The first section can include Name of the Process Owner, Designation, Process Responsibility, User Department(s) involved, Module Name and a Document number for reference.
The second section can include Process Definition details - Name of the major process, Name of the minor process, Name of the sub process and a Process ID for future reference.
The third section can be titled as Inputs - this contains details of - Input, Vendor for the input, Type of Input (Data / Activity / Process), Category of Input (Vital / Essential / Desirable) and Mode of Information (Hard / Soft Copy).
The fourth section can be Process Details. Here you can write the process in detail.
The fifth section to contain outputs of the process, customer to whom these outputs are sent, type of output (report / approval / plan / request / email / fax), Category of Output (Vital / Essential / Desirable) and Mode of Information (Hard / Soft Copy).
The sixth section can be Issues / Pain Areas in this process - Issue Description, Remarks, Expectations, Priority (High / Medium / Low)
The seventh section can be expected reports in future out of this process for internal and external reporting.
Hope this helps your question.

User defined notification & custom alert in business process(eInsight)?

HI All,
I have a User Defined Notification Type setup in AlertAgent.
I want to create a Custom Alert in a Business Process that will be picked up by the User Defined Notification Type I have setup. I can't figure this out though?
The documentation doesn't seem to cover this (briefly mentions collaborations only), and I can find no examples.
Can you please explain how this is done, and/or send an example.
Cheers,
Ken

from SUN...
To send out a custom alert, you'll need to call the alerter.cutom() method. However, this method is available only in a JCD.
Here is the syntax:
alerter.custom(String arg0, String arg1, String arg2);
where
- arg0 be an existing alert type you created via your properties file, or you defined in the AlertAgent as a new Notification.
- arg1 is the severity of the alert
- arg2 is the detailed message for the alert
example:
alerter.custom("HD-00001", "INFO", "custom test alert")
The severity must be one of the valid alert severity levels {"FATAL","CRITICAL","MAJOR","MINOR","WARNING","INFO"}. There is a mention of how this should work in eGate_Sys_Admin_Guide.pdf section 8.4 and 8.4.1.

What is a Business Process Expert? and Business Analyst?

In response to Sinem Dorter's very interesting and informative blog about Composite Analytics at Whirpool, I'd like to ask how people would really define what is going on there.
Are modelers of composite applications business analysts? Business process experts? Application specialists? All of the above? None of the above?
What unique skills are required to distinguish, say, a business analyst from a business process expert?
And can a business process expert be a team of people: maybe an enterprise analyst, a business process expert and an IT application specialist?
I'm curious to read responses.
Judy

Hi Judy,
I agree with you. Sinems blog from Whirlpool is really interesting and well written.
Thanks a lot that you have the courage to open the first discussion in relation to her blog.
Now to your question what's the difference between a Business Process Expert and a Business Analyst.
Definition of a Business Analyst
Please find below a small section of the Roles and Responsibility Matrix of SAP xApp Analytics . You will find it also in our OKP (Online Knowledge Product) of Analytics in Service Marketplace, alias rkt-analytics.
- Responsible for assessing the business requirements
- Communicate with the business users for project
requirements
- Act as the critical link between end users business
requirements and data architecture solution together
with the Application Developer
- Possess and provide deep knowledge of current business
scenarios such as: SAP BW Business Explorer Queries
and SAP CRM, SRM, MIC
- Design and develop a data access solution
- Understand SAP Analytics models and become an expert
on Analytics
- Conduct Analytics workshops
- Create and provide business requirements documentation
- Provide content know-how and knowledge transfer
documentation
Definition of a Business Process Expert
Business process experts have the business knowledge and IT sway to make business process innovation happen in real time by adapting, composing, and executing end-to-end business processes using composition software tools and enterprise services.
SAP enables the business process expert to drive real-time business process innovation by providing a rich combination of industry business process and services content, and composition software tools from a proven business process platform.

Now I am interested to hear what others say!
Also I am sure there are much more questions/comments regarding Sinems blog.
Or do you have also experiences which you want to share with the BPX-Community?
Don't hesitate to use the forum for this!
