Change Request Type Creation in Solution Manager

Hi All,
I am trying to create a CR type for a particular end market (My Project Specific). I have an implementation guide for the same (Steps).
My query over here is that what will be expected out put of each step and what would be the dependancies of each step. Like if we perform one step what is the dependency of that step
on the next step.
This is because before I start the procedure I would like to know the expected output of each
step performed. So that I can procced accordingly without much errors and confusion. I would
like to know where I might be facing any authorization issues.
I am providing  the steps which are provided to me to create a CR type. So kindly help me out
for the same.

u2022     Create new Subject Profile
u2022     Create Code Group Profile for Subject Profile
g) Assign the above into the new Transaction Type.
Thanks in Advance,

Only last step has the dependancies with the previous ones, as you need assign the created status profiles, action profiles and so on to the transaction profile. All the other steps are independant.
There's a little reminder, from my project experience, when you copy the action profile to a new one, you need to check the parameter assigned to the method in processing type one by one if it's filled as the original ones. And furthermore, you need maintain the conditions of the actions manually. It's not copied.

  • Support Desk Message Creation in SOLUTION MANAGER  through  External Emails

    Hello Experts,
                        I am a ABAP Developer , as mentioned in subject, my part is to Create support desk message in solution manager,through external Emails like outlook Express . To do this task i  am in need of more information about some  componenets which are used in solution manager support desk Message.
          My Doubts are,
    1) What is the use of Ibasecomponent in Message Creation?
    2) What if the ibasecomponent is mentioned as a defaut value ' 24 ' ( i.e is the ibasecomponent for solution manager - support desk ) ?
    3) To track the system from which the message is created , is ibase required or the SAP component will give those information?
         If anyone has already worked with this subject, please give me some suggestions ASAP.
    Thanks in Advance,
    Mohana

    Hello Mohana,
    Let see if I can explain this well:
    1) What is the use of Ibasecomponent in Message Creation?
    When you define a Solution in the SOLMAN, you need to update your Ibase
    Edit->Initial Data transfer for Ibase
    This create a tree structure in the ibase IB52, as you can see in the attachment.
    You get a componet number for SID-Client
    You can configure the SOLMAN in a way that when a message arrives from
    <System ID> <Installation Number> <Client> <User Name>
    this is what solman knows from a message comming from a satellite, them you
    know directly from which component/ibase the message has been received.
    This is important data, the component/ibase, for reporting issue, for assigning this component to a sold-to-party (being in IB52, left tree, select a system and go to Goto->Partner  you can assign a Sold-to party BP there for example)
    2) What if the ibasecomponent is mentioned as a defaut value ' 24 '
    By default the SOLMAN system has a Intalled base 01 already created for being used and maintained "automatically":
    being in dswp, solution : Edit->Initial Data transfer for Ibase
    If not you msut maintain the ibase manually from IB52, this is also possible.
    The Ibase 01 is a prconfigured iBase for being used for the SOLMAN application.
    Tink that the SOLMAN system is built up a CRM system, so the IBase is CRM matter. SOLMAN is only using some CRM applications to build the Service Desk scenario for example.
    I3) To track the system from which the message is created , is ibase required or the SAP component will give those information?
    Ibase is required
    Hope this helps,

  • Urgent need for the creation of solution manager key please

    Hello
    Can  i please ask you to create a solution manager key for me ?
    i am stuck in my test installation of ECC6.
    Here are my details :
           Instance name : sapdb1
           Instance number : 01
           Computer name : ap-hp1
    Kind regards
    Christophe

    Hi Chris,
    I understand the urgency. There are only two ways you can get a solution manager key. One by yourself. Otherwise, please create a message with SAP requesting a solution manager key temproarily. Unfortunately, even though we can create a solution manager key, it is not advisable to distribute the key in forums.
    Hope this helps.
    Thank you.

  • Prblem Service Desk configuration in Solution Manager 4.0

    Hi All,
    Here I have done the configuration of Service Desk in Solution Manager 4.0 by using the document which I have for release 3.2. However I have face some problem in Step “Initially create and Assign the Satellite Systems as iBase C” and “Manually create and Assign the Satellite Systems as iBase Co” .So I exclude above mention step. But still I am able to create the support message from Satellite Systems.
    So can please let me know whether it will work fine in upcoming time or Do I need to test my Service Desk configuration for same.
    Moreover please let me know how to test Service Desk configuration for real time environment.
    Following are the step and problem which I face while doing the Service desk configuration.
    <b>STEP 1 #Initially Create and Assign the Satellite Systems as iBase C</b>
    To be able to use the Service Desk and Change Request scenarios in SAP Solution Manager, you need to define the Installed Base (iBase). An iBase component has to be created for each satellite system from which Service Desk messages will be sent to the SAP Solution Manager system.
    The iBase components for the iBase structure SOL_MAN_DATA_REP (installation 1) can be created and assigned either automatically or manually. Note that these components and the assignments can only be created once automatically for every solution.  To refresh your existing iBase data execute IMG activity Manually Create and Assign the Satellite Systems as iBase Components.
    Requirements:-
    You have defined your system landscape in the Solution Manager System Landscapes(transaction SMSY).
    Activities:-
    1. In transaction SOLUTION_MANAGER,  open a solution.
    2. Choose Operations -> Service Desk.
    3. Choose Edit -> Initial Data Transfer for iBase.
    The data is copied automatically. The iBase systems for the solution are automatically assigned to SOL_MAN_DATA_REP (installation "1"). An iBase component is created for each system installation number (which can be displayed by choosing System  ->  Status).
    For each solution repeat these steps.
    <b>Problem in STEP1 :-</b> I am not able to check the System &#61664; Status.
    <b>STEP 2 #Manually Create and Assign the Satellite Systems as iBase Co</b>
    In this IMG activity, you define the Installed Base (iBase) manually, i.e. for refreshing existing iBases after solutions have been changed.
    An iBase component has to be created for each satellite system from which Service Desk messages will be sent to the SAP Solution Manager system.
    Activities:-
    1. In transaction Change Installed Base (IB52), use the input help (F4) to find the Installed Base with external ID SOL_MAN_DATA_REP.
    2. Continue as follows:
    •     If SOL_MAN_DATA_REP does not exist:
    a) Call transaction Create Installed Base (IB51).
    b) Choose iBase Category 01 (Installed Base).
    c) Choose Enter.
    d) Specify the iBase header data in the iBase section.
    e) Specify the external ID SOL_MAN_DATA_REP and enter a short description.
    •     If SOL_MAN_DATA_REP exists:
    a) Choose iBase No. 1 (SOL_MAN_DATA_REP).
    b) Choose the SAP WEB AS component.
    3. To assign the systems as iBase components, go to the Text item tab.
    Three components are included in the standard package.
    4. Add all the satellite systems as text items to the table:
    o     Column Short text: Description of the system
    o     Column Identification: System ID, space, installation number
    5. Save.
    After changes have been made to a solution, repeat these steps to update system landscape data for iBase.
    Note:-
    Every system is only listed once in the iBases. That means a system is not listed in an iBase if it has been listed in another iBase before.
    <b>Problem in STEP2:-</b> Here I am not able to find Text item tab as per point 3 .
    <b>STEP 3 # Assign Business Partners to iBase Components</b>
    You need to assign business partners to the new iBase components.
    Activities:-
    1. In transaction Change iBase (IB52), choose Goto -> Partner
    2. Assign business partners with the following functions to the new iBase component systems:
    o     Administrator
    o     Key User
    o     Sold-to Party
    3. Save.
    4. Repeat these steps for each iBase component.
    <b>Problem in step3 :-</b> In IB52 t-code screen there no any menu path like goto &#61664; partner
    Thanks a lot,
    Harshal

    Hi Harshall,
    You have to enter the value as 1 in Installed base field and then press enter.
    You will be taken inside and then you will be able to see the Goto - Partner screen.
    Hope this will help.
    Please reward points suitably.

  • Web service available in SAP Solution Manager

    Hi,
    Which are the Webservices available in SAP Solution Manager.
    I want to Integrate HP Openview change request process with SAP Solution Manager ChaRM.
    Regards
    PK
    Edited by: PK on Aug 9, 2010 3:37 PM

    Although the path vary between release - webservices for Solution Manager are usually available in transaction SICF
    under the following path
                     /default_host/sap/bc/solman                      
                     /default_host/sap/bc/bsp/sap/solutionmanager  
    However I am not aware of an webservice/interface from CHARM to 3rd party service desk products
    What is provided as of Solman 7 is an interface between SAP Service Desk and other 3rd party service desk products
    - so if you setup Solution Manager Service Desk you can have a business process from
    Openview ---> SAP Service Desk ---> SAP Charm
    Best wishes

  • Solution Manager - Can support user user changes manegement ??

    Hi All,
    In solution manager can change request type as a "New user creation" or "User authorization Change".
    So that we can keep track of New user creation or change in authorization that are created in respective R/3 system.
    The process flow is same like change management for developement correction or customization correction.
    Please give me your comments. It will be very valuable for me.
    Thanks in advance.
    Ravindra Nikam

    As I said, it will depend on the scenarios you will configure.
    For the installation, you will not need any. When it comes to the configuration (SOLMAN_SETUP) you'll need the authorizations in SMP for S-User.
    You can also check here:

  • Custom Change Request Selection for Customer/Supplier Update

    Hi experts,
    Anyone knows how is possible to display the change request selector popup when starting a Customer/Supplier/BP update?
    For MDG-C and S I only have this popup when is related to creation process. When is a update the standard change request is considered for the process.
    Screen on creating a customer
    What I need is the same screen when starting an update process, because I will need to specify a Z change request type. Anyone knows if this can be made with some configuration?
    Kind Regards,

    Hello Fabiano,
    You will get this pop-up only if you have more than one CR type linked to the corresponding business activity. If you only have one CR type, then that CR type opens up by default.

  • Solution Manager/Charm and Transport Dependency Check

    Hello Everyone,
    I apologize if this question has an obvious answer.  I have searched SDN and could not get a 100% answer.
    We are just now in the process of rolling out Charm/Solution Manager and I have noticed that it appears to not perform transport dependency checks.  For example, let's say I am working on object ABC and have completed my testing (ready for transport to production) and then another developer also starts development on object ABC.  When my change is moved to production, it will pick up the other developers modifications without giving a warning or an error that a dependency has been encountered between the two transport requests. 
    Does Charm/Solution Manager offer the option of producing a warning should a transport depedency be identified?  If so, will someone explain (or point me to the appropriate documentation) how this can be set up?
    Best Regards,
    Scott

    Hi Scott,
    ChaRM supports imports from DEV->QAS->PRD by transport by transport requests level not by transport request task level. So don't worry(i.e., You can't import only your change of object ABC to production. It allows to import your change and other user's change of object ABC together to production).
    This is how it works(if more than an user works on the same object):
    1. Requester creates a support message from satelitte system to report a problem.
    2. Service desk employee creates a change document because some changes need to be done on object ABC to correct that reported problem.
    3. Change Manager approves the change document. So a normal correction is created automatically.
    4. This normal correction is assigned to 2 developers(your scenario) like for an example DVPR1 and DVPR2.
    5. DVPR1 creates a transport request and does some changes on object ABC. So a transport task will be created for DVPR1 under that transport request automatically.
    6. When DVPR2 tries to do some changes on the same object ABC, a seperate transport task(not a transport request) will be created for DVPR2 under the same transport request because the object ABC is locked under the transport request. So DVPR2 can't create a separate transport request for the same object if any transport request is pending(not released).
    7. Now object ABC will have one transport request. That transport request will have 2 transport tasks(1 for DVPR1 and 1 for DVPR2).
    8. Each developer relases their transport task only(not transport request) once he/she completes his/her change on the object ABC.
    9. DVPR1 or DVPR2 will change the status of normal correction to "Development Completed".
    10. Now, IT operator or DVPR1 or DVPR2 can release the transport request. The transport request can be released only if all tasks are released under the same transport request.
    (In this example: DVPR1 completed his change and released his transport task. Next DVPR2 completed and released his transport task).
    11. Finally IT operator import the transport request to QAS and PRD.
    Hope you are clear now. Let me know if you have any doubts.
    Regards,
    Sanjai

  • Change Request from Email

    Is it possible to create CR from email? I need some operations convert to CR instead of incident, for examle i need such user requests like asking for new work plase or upgrage the computer to be CR at the begining when they send email, but now an incidents
    are created for such typical user requests by default.

    As far as I know it's not possible to create a change request by mail in SCSM 2010.
    In my opinion from the process perspective it didn't make sense to do that anyway:
    For a change request you need some more information like "which type of CR -> minor change, major change, ... Most of the users didn't know which type of CR is needed. Depending on the type of the CR there might be completly different activities behind
    a CR. E.g. also risk and impact of a change the users didn't know.
    For that reason I would always go for a process like this: User opens an incident by mail with his "wishes". Incident management process is deciding if the request should be handled as a change request and which type of change request would
    fit. Incident management opens a corrosponding and related change request.

  • Difference between a Solution Manager project, and IMG project.

    Hello,
    We are in process of installing and thereby configuring scenarios for Solman 4.
    While reading about it on help.sap.com, I came across following:
    <b>
    "<i>The Change Tracking function of Change Request Management allows you to track everything that relates to changes within the context of a Solution Manager project, or an IMG project."</i></b>
    Please help me here by clarifying difference between two.
    regards, Shantanu

    Hi Shantanu,
    Let us assume you have captured everything w.r.to an SAP Implementation project in Solution Manager and this project has gone live. Here all details relating to an SAP Project are captured in a Solution Manager Project. Solution Manager project acts as a container to hold all the details relating to the SAP Project.
    Now when this SAP Project comes in the support/maintenance phase, whenever a small change needs to be done to this SAP Solution, it will be raised as a Change Request. This change request will be captured in Solution Manager (starting from the point when the request was raised from an end user as a support message, which eventually might have evolved as a Change Request). All details about this change request, its approval workflow, task control being transferred to different roles(people), movement of the request along the transport path, everything is captured and controlled in the Solution Manager Project.
    So, we are clear about Solution Manager Project now.
    What is an IMG Project?
    For each and every component involved in this SAP project, an IMG project will be created with the same name as the Solution Manager Project in the component systems. These IMG projects in the Satellite systems are the same as the normal Project IMGs which we use in any SAP Project to hold all details relating to an SAP Project w.r.to that component.
    In the context specified by you, it has been told that any changes w.r.to a Solution Manager project or an IMG project can be tracked in CHARM. It is because any change that is requested w.r.to any component(say SRM or ECC) will result in a change in the details captured in Solution Manager project about that SAP Project, and also will result in a change in the details captured in the appropriate Project IMG (say SRM or ECC).
    Hope it is clear.

  • Change Request & Task Issue

    Hi Experts,
       Please help me out for following concern.
       Changes done(In Z program) for some testing purpose, are saved in test CR.
       Now i want to save changes doin again in New CR,  for further transport.But whenever i am goin to change it ,its taking either the same test CR or creating new Task in same CR. But not askin for new CR.
      Some1 concerned that i have to release that CR ,then only i can do that,but i cant do it ,as it is test CR.
      Please suggest solution.
    Thanks in advance.
    Thanks and Regards

    A Change request that is not released consists of an abject list that has details of the objects (programs, etc) that are to be transported in the request.  While it is not released, it does not contain any of the details of the objects, just their object keys.  These details are in individual tasks by user id.
    When you release the change request, the system takes a copy of the current version of all the objects and writes it to two files in the transport directory of the SAP server - one control file and one data file.  These files are named based on the request number.
    <b>If you make further changes to a program before releasing the request, those changes will be included in that request when it is released.</b>
    If you have made changes to a program that have been put into a change request that is not to be transported you need to manually move the relevant object list entries to the new transport request.  You cannot simply delete them from the first request and then save changes to the program again as the object list entries may not be the same.  Releasing the change request is not a solution as this may have the same result - the entries added to the new request may be incomplete.
    For example, if you create a program it is added to a request as R3TR PROG containing program, texts, gui etc, but if you later change it and save it is added to request as LIMU REPS for program or LIMU REPT for texts or LIMU CUAD for gui.
    To move manually, copy/paste values from SU10 object list of the task to a new request/task.  Once 100% sure it is OK in new request, delete line from old task then lock object in new request (select line and use padlock icon).  For customising there may be object keys associated with the line that you also need to copy.  Take care to ensure all relevant objects are in the new transport.
