Change Management Config.

We are thinking of setting up change mgmt for solution manager lanscape itself. Ours is a two-system landscape of QA and PRD.
Please suggest as how can this be done?
Also, is it possible ( for a demo purpose ) set up change management using three different clients of same system, in this case QA.
Please give your inputs.
Thanks,
Anil

Hi Anil,
My Input:
The Domain controller would be the Solution manager system for your case and hence the TMS has to be changed accordingly.
FYI :
I have read abt the concept of Domain Linking where Solman can be connected to an existing domain linking concept but i am not aware of it.
Inputs Reqd from SDNers :
Can any one elaborate on Domain linking oncept or is it mandatory to have Solman as the domain controller.
I have a case where i have multi system landscapes.
Inputs would be helpful.
P.S: I have seen an Old post from you on Domain Links. Can you elaborate on this concept how to use it in Multi system landscapes. It wouldbe very helpful for me and any links to any docuemts would be great.
Br,
Sri

Specifying Critical Transport Objects under Change Management Extend config

I'm trying to configure Change Management and I am in SPRO under SAP Solution Manager -> Config -> Scenario-specific settings -> Change Managment-> Extended config -> Change Request Management -> Specify Critical Transport Objects.
It states that you need to select the system/clients for which you want to specify critical transport objects. however, i do not see my systems listed there. I'm assuming i've missed a prior step somehow.
Any help would be appreciated! Thank you!
Margo

Hi.
There are several things necessary to make the system appear in this transaction (/N/TMWFLOW/CMSCONF -> critical obejcts)
You need:
- a smi project
- a logical component assigned to that project which contains your systems
- at least one system within your logical component of type "developement system"
- the project needs to be released for change request management (tx: solar_project_admin, "activate change request management")
Hope this helps.

Solution Manager Change Management Master Guide

Hi
We are looking into implementing Solution Manager 7.0 and have the
following questions:
- Can we implement change managment in Solution Manager with only one
satellite system (i.e. Development) as the other systems are not ready
yet (i.e. Test, QA etc.)?
- Could you let us know where we can find the master or technical guide
to setup change management in Solution Manager 7.0.

Hi,
it is possible to implement ChaRM even not all satellite systems are available yet.
I am not sure how much functionality you will get using virtual systems but you may configure and test ChaRM using 3 different clients in your DEV system (need to adjust TMS config accordingly).
Some useful information regarding ChaRM configuration can be found [here|/people/dolores.correa/blog/2008/07/26/first-steps-to-work-with-change-request-management-scenario]
Since ChaRM relies on Service Desk you should also have a look at appropriate Blogs.
Also you should follow the IMG documentation/steps in SPRO.

CRMD_ORDER: how to set default values for Requester and Change Manager

Hello Folks,
how do I set default values in TA crmd_order?
I drew my organizational hierarchy using TAs bp and ppoma_crm.
When a new Change Request (e. g. SDHF) is created, I want the four roles (Requester, Change Manager, IT Operator and Developer) to be set automatically, not manually.
Both Requester (= Key User) and Change Manager are derivable. I did not find anything in SPRO neither in the OSS neither here.
Points will be rewarded as a matter of course!
Thanx in advance!

Hi Dirk,
look for Define Access Sequence & Define Partner Determination Procedure in SPRO and read the IMG Activity Documentation. You can find it in the Service Desk config, but it works for the other transaction types too.
Basically, you create Access Sequences where you tell the Partner Determination Procedure where to look for the values for the Partner Function fields.
The Access Sequence can use lots of sources for the information, including your org structure.

Jason

Central Transport Change Management

Hi,
I want to use my Solution Manager instance as a central repository for all the change requests that are created by my Implementation project (Using ECC6, SCM, BI, XI).
I have followed the IMG for the Basic settings in Change Management, but I need to understand whether the Extended settings will give me what I need.
Or if I am doing something really stupid and have actually finished the config.
TIA
Chris aka BoobBoo

Hello,
This is not possible, as there is no support for Transport and Change management. You will always need some down-time in production. But there are some strategies to reduce the down-time.
(1) You could use the Java ADMIN API to create a batch-script that performs the required repository modifications. Once you validate it works, unload your repository, run your program and load the repository again.
(2) Create a "slave" repository and re-direct your production users to that repository. Unload your production repository and make all changes. Once done, reload that repository and switch back. Remember that this will only help to keep a "look-up" only version of the production repository...

I was infected by a virus and this changed proxy config to 127.0.0.1:64727, i removed the virus, but every time i start firefox i find the proxy configuration made by the virus.is there any config file i can change ?

I was infected by a virus (i can't remember the virus name). Antivirus removed it, but i think it changed some config file on FF, 'cause every time i try to restart it , i find it configured to use proxy 127.0.0.1:64727. I change every time the config, i also tried to change the config on the about:config and set network.proxy.type 5 , no port and no network proxy (so it's all on default) . I changed the config on the gui, i removed the config from windows registry ( IE and chrome start normally, with no proxy), but every time i restart FF i find the proxy config there. How can i fix it ?

I had the same problem.
Solution
'''Clear Virus First'''
-clear virus using either anti-virus or manually going into task manager and figuring out which processes are bad.
-If the manual way, go through each process in task manager and right click to "open file location". Depending on where it is located and the name of the process, you can google the process name online to see if it is bad.
-Delete the bad process file and as added security, create a folder using the name of the process so the file can't be recreated later. (example: If I had a virus "3dcr.exe" in folder c:\user, then delete "3dcr.exe" and create a new folder c:\user\3dcr.exe\ )
'''Fix Proxy Settings'''
-If your browser points an proxy server and you can't change the settings because every restart of firefox returns the settings back (even after changing in about:config or prefs.js or options>advanced>network>settings). The answer is to uninstall firefox with all its user preferences and the reinstall it.
*I know it is a bit brute force, but it was the only method I found to work. Just be sure to save your bookmarks first.

LMS 3.2 - Change Management

Hi,
Is there something within CiscoWorks LMS 3.2 that allows you to raise or generate some kind of form that can be emailed or printed if a change on a device is required.
Nish

You can use the job approval options in RME to perform change management using the steps outline below from the users guide.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/ciscoworks_resource_manager_essentials/4.3/user/guide/jobmgt.html
Enabling Approval and Approving Jobs Using Job Approval
Resource Manager Essentials (RME) applications, such as NetConfig, Config Editor, Archive Management, and Software Management allow you to schedule jobs to perform their tasks. Job Approval allows you to require that one of a group of users designated as job Approvers approves each job before it can run.
This section contains:
•Job Approval Workflow
•Job Management
Job Approval sends job requests through e-mail to users on a job's Approver list. If none of the Approvers approve the job before its scheduled run time, or if an Approver rejects the job, the job is moved to the rejected state and will not run.
When Job Approval is enabled, applications that use it, require you to schedule the job to run in the future, rather than immediately. Job approval cannot be enabled for jobs that run immediately.
A user with the appropriate privileges uses a CiscoWorks application to schedule jobs.
When you use Job Approval, different people can perform different tasks:

Confusion in Weblogic ReportsServer config without doing change the config?

confusion in Weblogic ReportsServer config without doing change the config ?
my env
windows 2008 64 Bit
WLS 10.3.5 64 Bit
pfrd Forms/Reports 11.1.1.4 64 Bit
after Install all and config my Forms and Reports
the default reports server i found with
http://wlog:8090/reports/rwservlet/getserverinfo
had a name
RptSvr_myserverhost_Formsreportsinstan,
I did run my Forms and reports well with RP2RRO.RP2RRO_RUN_PRODUCT
now some time later I found, that the reportsServer name is changed to
rep_wls_reports_myserverhost_formsreportsinstance_1
and I don't know, why ??
I do start the WLS_REPORT by using the oracle-scripts using startManagedWebLogic.cmd
In the WLS Admin Console there I can see the WLS_REPORTS Server is well started
and after change the ReportServername in my forms to the 'new' servername
I can start my forms with Reports again
In the Enterprise Manager 11g under the reports-tree there are three entries:
ReportsTools
reports(11.1.1.2.0)(WLS_REPORTS)
RptSvr_myserverhost_Formsreportsinstan ( the 'old' reportserver, that isn't started and not available )
on Server in
C:\Oracle\Middleware\asinst_1\reports\server
there are two entries:
rep_wls_reports_wlog_formsreportsinstance_1.dat
and
RptSvr_myserverhost_Formsreportsinstan.dat
and in
C:\Oracle\Middleware\asinst_1\reports\
is in the reports_install.properties file :
SERVER_NAME=rep_wls_reports_wlog_formsreportsinstance_1
ORACLE_INSTANCE_NAME=Formsreportsinstance_1
INPROCESS_SERVER_NAME=rep_wls_reports_wlog_formsreportsinstance_1
what I have done, that can be the reason for now have two entries for reportsserver ?
In the last days i worked to create the windowsservices
to start the WLS_AdminServer and to start the WLS_FORMS / WLS_REPORTS
ManagedServer
and I changed the IP - Adress of the WLS - ServerHost, ( and back again )
but didn't create a new ReportServer ore anything !
what can I do, to fix this confusion ?

Hello,
In 11g , there are 2 Reports Servers created by default :
- rep_wls_reports_myserverhost_formsreportsinstance_1
The "in-process" Reports Server . WLS_REPORTS must be started and you can start this "in-process" Reports Server by just calling an URL like http://server:port/reports/rwservlet/getserverinfo or by using the menu in the EM web site
- RptSvr_myserverhost_Formsreportsinstan,
The Standalone Reports Server . You can start it using opmnctl command or using the menu in the EM web site

Questions on JMX and management-config

I was wondering if anyone can clarify the usage of management-config.
We've got a setup with managed-nodes=all and allow-remote-management=true (other params defaulted). We've got processes that occasionally ping the cluster (via a single node) to log performance statistics and to look for problems that might require intervention (across all nodes via remote management).
I'm trying to determine if the JMX subsystem is completely isolated from runtime cache performance.
1) Does the setting for the read-only flag impact performance in any way? If set to false, is there any sort of locking or synchronization that takes place when querying cluster nodes?
2) Do calls to JMX (and presumably the Invocation Service) share any resources with a Distributed Cache Service?
3) the Default management-config settings in Tangosol-coherence.xml point to the "Management" service - which is not actually defined elsewhere in the configuration file. Is this actually an implicit link to the Invocation Service?
4) Is there a single "Service Thread"? or does each distinct service have its own service thread?
Thanks in advance,
Dave

The performance impact of management is relatively small. The consumption is based on the information "read" (getAttribute/getAttribute) and the frequency of the poll. Polls of the same data element within 1 second will receive the same result for remote nodes.
The formula to determine the network consumption estimation formula for Coherence 3.3 on a single poll of the information is:
Estimated network bytes per poll =
Number of remote Node MBeans retrieved * 725
+ Number of remote Cache MBeans retrieved * 225
+ Number of remote Storage Manager MBeans Retrieved * 720
+ Number of remote Service MBeans Retrieved * 144
+ Number of remote Point to Point MBeans * (Number of Nodes in Grid -1 * 250)
Given the order N size of the Point-to-Point MBeans, It is not recommended to put that information in a loop for a large cluster.
1) Does the setting for the read-only flag impact performance in any way? If set to false, is there any sort of locking or synchronization that takes place when querying cluster nodes?
EW: The Read-only flag does not impact performance. There is no synchronization on read of the objects. Synchronization on update is on an attribute by attribute basis.
2) Do calls to JMX (and presumably the Invocation Service) share any resources with a Distributed Cache Service?
EW: The JMX calls are processed through the Management (Invocation) Service. This shares system (memory, CPU, network) resources with other services. The management information is not processed out-of-band and under extreme load performance will be impacted.
3) the Default management-config settings in Tangosol-coherence.xml point to the "Management" service - which is not actually defined elsewhere in the configuration file. Is this actually an implicit link to the Invocation Service?
EW: The Management service is a non-configurable Invocation service.
4) Is there a single "Service Thread"? or does each distinct service have its own service thread?
EW : Not exactly sure I understand the question. Each service has its' own "Service" thread and thread pool. However, there are some shared components at the TCMP (network) layer.
Hope this helps,
Everett Williams

Public Change Management indicator and mid-year reassignment in new GL

Dear experts,
I have two questions on documentation at help.sap.com
here http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/b3/fa3a95ecd9465c82957992e30e1ff2/frameset.htm
it is said that:
1. "You can use the SAP document change interface to reassign original documents by setting the Public Change Management indicator when converting the worklist."
I run FMCT transaction and can not find this "Public Change Management" indicator. Where should I look for it?
2. "When you update in new General Ledger Accounting an FM account assignment that is to be reassigned, a mid-year reassignment is not possible"
Does this mean that I can not do a mid-year reassignment, if I use the new General Ledger Accounting?
Thank you in advance!
Irina

Hi Irina, as I know this applies if the FM account assignment element is an split charateristic in the New GL, for example the Fund, if the fund accounting scenario is active.
best regards
César

A note on Setup Manager - Application Change Management Pack

Hi All,
This is Mugunthan, Development manager for iSetup and Setup Manager. I am happy to begin my note with the launch of Application Change Management Pack 3.1. For those who are not aware of Application Change Management Pack, it is a new product built on top of Oracle Enterprise Manager and comprises of three major modules namely Setup Manager, Customization Manager and Patch Manager. You can find more information about this pack here (LCM: Oracle Application Change Management Pack Setup Manager is enhanced and advanced version of iSetup on Oracle Enterprise Manager. There were good amount of reasons to re-architect iSetup on Oracle Enterprise Manager as Setup Manager.
Why Setup Manager?
Ability to migrate to data over point releases of EBS – EBS comes up with rollup patches on top of major releases periodically. It means that you have to certify the patch before it get deployed on to production which means that setup data are to be certified again. iSetup cannot connect between 12.0.4 to 12.0.6 or 12.0.6 to 12.1.1. We have achieved the data migration for above scenarios in Setup Manager (11i to R12 is not supported in Setup Manager)
Projects – Setup Manager supports grouping of Extracts, Transforms, Loads and Reports as a single entity and can be deployed multiple times to multiple targets. The project consists of one or more tasks (of type Extract/Load/Transform/Report) and can be orchestrated according to your ends. Project execution supports scheduling which means that you can use this feature to sync up setup data between two instances at periodic internal. Projects can be shared with other users which is remarkable difference between iSetup and Setup Manager. You can share your projects with others in a combined development environment. The functional configuration data (Extracts) are stored in Oracle Enterprise Manager. This means that you can refresh EBS without losing Extracts.
Integration with Change Approval mechanism – Execution of projects is integrated with change approval mechanism which means that you can control who executes what. Also, you have fine grain access control where you can control EBS targets assigned to a user.
Offline Transformation – I would say this is the most unique feature of Setup Manager and as an implementer you would welcome this feature very much. iSetup has got very limited capability on Transformation. Here we have gone way ahead and support Transformation on almost all Setup Objects. We present you the extracted data in excel sheets. You can download the excel template and work offline. All the attribute value fields in the excel sheet are editable which means that you supply your own value. For example, you can download Operating Unit data in xls file and change operating unit “OU100” to “OU200” and upload it back to system and load to target instance. Please note that any attribute of Operating Unit setup data can be edited. Also, system has got intelligence and once you upload the excel sheet, it automatically changes all the inventory organization which belongs to “OU100” to “OU200”. This behavior can be controlled using attribute mapping which you can create in Setup Manager. Hold on, this is not the end, also you can add more operating unit in excel, say OU300 and OU400 and load it to target instance. You can delete few Operating Units from extracted data in excel sheet and load the remaining to target instance. This gives you complete flexibility to manage (add/edit/delete) functional configuration data offline. This is fantastic feature and please have a look at how it works.
Advanced Filtering – Filter support in iSetup is not flexible where you cannot use comma separated values and complex sql join conditions. Also you do not know what query is executed behind the scenes to the data. All this problems are addressed in Setup Manager 3.1. We show you the “select clause” (SQL) associated with interface and provide you a text field where you can refer the select clause and provide your own custom where criteria (SQL). This means that filter support is unlimited and you can set filter any database columns. For example, you can extract “Responsibilities/Menu” which are active or created as on yesterday. You can extract all Operating Units excluding “OU100 and OU200”. We support all filter criteria that are supported by SQL.

Hi,
your note very interesting. Is there any other way to extract the configuration using SQL? not using Enterprise Manager? hope this will be fastest way then using GUI base.
Thanks,
Fahmi Fahlevi

Minimum steps required for Change Management and Incident management

Hello experts,
Does anyone have a check list of the absolute minimum steps required for getting Change Management and Incident management functioning in Solution Manager.
I just need it to function with creating changes and incidents and be able to assign them, change their status and close them.
The purpose is to get an idea if this is something for us to use. If we then find it useable, then we will go for a full scale implementation using official guides, education etc.
I just need an absolute minimum guide for demonstrating the functions, and if you guys have any recommendations, things we should pay special attention to or other experiences feel free to tell me.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Kenneth
