Business Process Structure

I am trying to find out which kind of terms are being used for the different levels of the process hierarchy.
Level 0 =
Level 1 =
etc
Thanks in advance
Holger

Dear Prakash,
In solution manager till EHP1 it is not possible to meet what is ur requirement but you can do the following as an alternative
Project
Master Data
Organization Structure
Business Scenario Std Selected from BPR e.g Service Desk
Business Process std
Business Process Step Std
Business Scenario Non Std Directly entered the name of scenario in Structure tab e.g any Zscenario
Business Process Non std ( you need to add here the process for zscenario)
Business Process Step Non Std ( you need to add here the process step for z*)
But if you very specific to go with 4 main nodes as you said then you need to modify the standard with ABAP Developement and there is no alternative.
Hope it clarifies.

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.

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

1.Could you please let me if there is procedure to upload a business process structure into SOLOR01 via an EXCEL ?.
If yes could please help me with the step by step procedure to do this.
2. Also could you please let me know when we create a customized business process in SOLOR01, would like know which table the data is stored?.

first, goto solar_project_admin (tcode).
create a project there. create all hierarchy there.
then goto solar01, select the area where you want to store your excel sheet. double click on it, then you see three tabs on the right hand side of window. go to project documentation tab. here, click add(insert document) button. it asks for upload or other options. select your option and go ahead.

Test Repository - Use of our own business process model as structure

We want to use our own business process model as structuring element in the test repository.
I entered my hierarchy by the transaction STWBM using environment/application hierarchy / Customer.
But my hierarchy is not visible in the test repository. Instead, there is always the SAP hierarchy.
How can I use my hierarchy in the test repository?

I have the same problem.
We are new on using the solution manager to do the test.
Now we want to put all the test cases (manual) in the test repository, and in other time link they to the other projects.
But the question is: How can i storage the test case in the repository to garantee when I do a new project I dont forget any test case needed from the repository?

Business Process Oriented Development of Data Warehouse Structures

I've recenltly read an interesting paper by Michael Böhnlein and Achim Ulbrich-vom Ende:
Business Process Oriented Development of Data Warehouse Structures .
It discusses the derivation of data warehouse structures from business process models, as opposed to deriving relevant datasets from the underlying operational data sources.
The Semantic Object Model (SOM) methodology is also introduced. The SOM approach can be useful for the modeling of business systems as well as analysis and design.
Cheers, Davide

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,
Doreen Baseler

Error while converting BPMN to BPEL in Business Process Architect

Hey,
I am using Business Process Architect 11gR1 where I have modeled my process. Now that I have to move this model to BPM, I am using the option SOA -> share blueprint with IT in BPA. A dialog appears that asks to validate the model. I confim with "Yes" and it shows the conversion progress bar but after the while an error appears (a java exception). A report opens in my browser that has the following message
Validation of a service-oriented BPMN model in Oracle BPA Suite
Structure rules for BPMN in Oracle BPA Suite
Rules for a service-oriented BPMN model in Oracle BPA Suite
String not found: RULEKIND_NAMEd89733d0-d605-11db-0505-000fb0c4ad32
The java exception is "Error while creating report:
report: oraclebpmn2bpel, line 632
Type error: cannot find function getErrNo in object.java.lang.IllegalArgumentException. (oraclebpmn2bpel#632)
can anyone please help me as to why this happens and how it can be sorted out?
Edited by: user10303310 on Dec 13, 2011 3:10 AM

Hi Julika,
The error message might not be related to the activities itself. I assume your model is not well structured. Consider that the following points aren't disregarded:
* Never "jump" out of a particular branch into a different part of the model or into another branch
* All functions/events have only one incoming/outgoing connection
* Process parallel flows should be specified by splitting and joining AND/XOR rules, or they should contain either one splitting AND/XOR rule only for which there is no other connection between their paths, or one joining AND/XOR rule only that is met by all connections.
Let me know if it did not help to fix your problem.
Best regards,
Danilo

2 Logical Components for 1 Business Process Step

Hello All,
I'm looking for a way to assign in SolMan --> transaction Solar01 - Tab Structure - Business Process Step, 2 logical components for 1 business step. When creating the business step I have to assign 1 specific logical component to this step. Once I have done this I can only select the chosen logical component ffor SAP Transactions, configuration object etc.. As my business step is running on 2 different systems I need to find a way to link transactions etc. in the step to the different systems. Is there any way to change this for the Level 3 elements, like it is for level 2 (business processes) where I can choose in the different tabs between all the logical components?
Thanks in advance
Ramó

I've seen people use some absolute craziness to get more than three levels. The most extreme being using multiple projects at the highest level (i.e. a project for PTP Accounts Payable). Don't go there.
I personally like to have 1 transaction per process step. Don't use the transaction tab as another process level, use it to better describe the process step (like all the other tabs are uses). It results in a better understanding of the system as you go forward. To do that I make teams break up things they think are one step (this can take some arm twisting, so hit the gym and maybe take a few judo classes).
This allows you to use SolMan in more powerful ways. For instance, if you attach development objects to a step with 5 transactions, you cannot tell which transaction is modified by the development object. However, one transaction per node provides you this link. There are other examples, but basically the "where used" button becomes very useful when you have 1 transaction per node.
Maybe you could provide a specific example of your process and we can think of a better way to collapse it.
Such as:
- PTP Non-Merchandise Purchasing
-- Expense Purchasing
--- Create Purchase Requisition
--- Create Purchase Order (Assign Vendor & Price)
--- Send to Vendor
--- Post Goods Receipt
--- Perform LIV
--- Process Payment
Some companies have 6 level processes already defined in models and putting it into SolMan can be a pain for sure. Your naming convention is usually the best route.
regards,
Jason
The system role and template work around doesn't apply to your situation.

Queries on Business Process Monitoring (BPM) & Interface Monitoring

Dear all,
I have got a few queries on the subject and would greatly appreciate any valuable inputs.
Before I proceed, want to clarify that I have downloaded all overtly available documents (PDFs, SIMs) from the following URLs:
http://service.sap.com/rkt-solman
http://service.sap.com/solutionmanager Media Library
http://service.sap.com/bpm Media Library
I may not have read them all though since I come from a Functional angle.
Kindly reply to whatever query you can please. Not all of them are sequential.
Queries:
(1) How are Interfaces with External Systems (beyond the firewall of the enterprise) monitored ?
(2) Is it really worth listing all such External Systems as Logical Components in their own right ? I guess this makes sense if at a Process Step level, one wants to list a 'specific' Logical Component involved instead of 'generic' term like External System. However, it would benefit only if Interface Monitoring is feasible; isn't it ?
(3) There are Interfaces which are built between SAP and External System and serve various Business Processes under various Business Scenarios. In such circumstances, it is not easy to list which Process 'owns' the Interface. Therefore, under a normal Implementation Project structure (SOLAR02), choosing a particular Process Step, getting into 'Development' Tab and listing the Interface Program name may not be feasible, since there is no particular place where it belongs.
Is it therefore a good idea to create namesake Scenario for capturing all interfaces and list a library of all interfaces and store documents right there ? If so, will these namesake processes be of any use in BPM at a later date ?
(4) If my primary objective is to accomplish Interface Monitoring and not Business Process Monitoring per se, is it a good idea to create a new Solution Landscape, and manually create Business Processes that are suited to list Interfaces than to assign Template or Implementation Project to the Solution Landscape, and inherit those Processes ?
(5) What is it that a SAP Competence (Support) Centre will find as a 'major' gain in activating BPM to monitor Interfaces alone - is there something that SolMan's BPM based Interface Monitoring gives more than what PI level reporting may provide them with ?
(6) In Interfaces with Non-SAP Systems (some of them are old/ proprietary legacy systems with Credit Card companies; some of them are like 'Active Directory' servers), is it possible to define Metrics for BPM that such systems will contribute to SolMan, for reporting purposes ? Or, is it too much to hope for
Thanks again, for your patience and advance thanks for your kind responses.

Hi,
Welcome to BPM
You have asked too many questions in a single Post, Please read rules of engagement before posting
You can monitor the following without any trouble.
● ALE/EDI
● qRFC
1) Its obvious, if your firewall blocks all your request to external enterprise, it is not possible to monitor.
3) These interfaces are not the one related to development tab in SOLAR02, you have to map them from BPM.
4) Yes, you don't have to depend on any project for your processes, you can add it in your Solution Landscape.
5) Post a Separate Thread!!!
6) Post a Separate Thread!!!
Hope this gives a better idea.
Feel free to revert back.
