ChaRM 4-System landscape

Hello,
We have setup our landscape to have a Dev system which goes to two different QA systems, then from the QA systems into Production. Dev has 4 clients going into QA 1 and 2 clients going to QA2, There are then two productive clients, one for HR, One for FI.
The Transport system has been setup and is working.
Can ChaRM handle sending a transport to two systems for testing?
How should the logical systems be set up?
DEV - -> QA1 - - - - >PRD
-- >QA2 - - -
Regards,

Hi Avrohom Weissman
We had same setup and this is what we did to come up with this issue.
We have added the new client in the Transport Path of STMS as required. We have used standard Change Management program*(/TMWFLOW/SCMA_BTCH_SYNC_TEST)* where we can setup a variant. This is done after adding the new clients in an existing transport group to landscape.
We have copied this to to Custom Module. When ever a transport moved to Dev usually transport move to QA( Which configured in Task list). We need schedule this program as background job for every 15mins or what ever is good for you.
It will transport same.
Hope this will help.

ChaRM: 4-System-Landscape possible?

Hello,
regarding our system landscape we have no clue how ChaRM will handle following situation
DEV-System: Development-System were the developments should be done.
QAS-System: Test-System were the tests should be done.
FNC-System: nothing to do here, just for functional tests
PRD-System: Production System
Transport routes are DEV -> transport group which deliveres QAS and FNC, and from QAS -> PRD.
What needs to be done to set this up correctly for ChaRM (e.g.: SMSY-logical components)?
Thanks in advance.

Hi
You have two options:
1) assign FNC to task list: you can start the import to this system in the task list manually
2) or task list without FNC: you can schedule a job 'import all' at FNC or import manually via STMS
Confiiguration:
1) One log. component with D-Q-FNC-P (Q and FNC are of role target systems)
2) One log. component with D-Q-P

CHaRM 2 system landscape possible??

Hi Solman experts,
I have a question. Is CHaRM possible in a 2 system landscape without creating extra clients? For example:
BWDEV100 -
>DWPRD100
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Ricky

Hi Avinash,
But in TMS do you create one delivery transport route from dev100 to prod100 or do you create a consolidation route to prod100. Usually in a three system landscap you create 2 consolidation routes to the test system one with a transport layer that you created and one with the sap transport layer and then one delivery route to the production system.
Could you please explain what kind of transport route you create?
Thanks in advance.

URGENT: Changing System Landscape in ChaRM

Ok...here is our situation:
We use ChaRM with a 3 tier system landscape (DEV > USER > PROD).
Out USER system has been down for a month (maintenance) so we went live with ChaRM as follows:
DEV > PREPROD >PROD
Our USER system is now back up and running so we have replaced the Logical Component on the project to reflect this. This has worked ok but the task list is still showing the old system landscape. i.e. its showing PREPROD still instead of USER. How do I resolve this?
Do I have to complete the existing cycle and then create a new one? This would be fine except I would lose all the jobs I have scheduled in the task list (schedule every 15min EVERY day....took me ages).
Any suggestions?
Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi,
About this issue, there is a detail information about this in blog point 6 u201CChanges in the logical components of a project where Charm is already activatedu201D.
This is the link: http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/15116
So, you have to change the transport route accordingly and then close current maintenance cycle and generate a new one.
Following is the steps.
1: please import all the transport requests which were associated in the current maintenance cycle task list by STMS manually import.
1: change transport route from DEV > PREPROD >PROD to DEV > USER > PROD on the domain controller system.
2: close current maintenance cycle.
3: change the system landscape to DEV > USER > PROD in solar_project_admin.
4: generate a new maintenance cycle.
Thanks

ChaRM in two system landscape

Hello Everyone,
I want to implement ChaRM for BIW systems which is a two system landscape: BIWDEV and BIWLIVE . Is it posible to implement ChaRm in a two system landscape /we need three system landscape only for it.I started the ChaRM configuration work but faced certain issues over which i was told tat Charm needs three systems for implementation. Kindly plz suggest and confirm.
Regards,
Somya

Hey Somya,
2 system landscape will also work with CHARM.
CHARM can also be configured in single system landscape.
But the bottomline is you require in all 3 clients to realize charm.
These three clients can belong to same or diffrent systems altogether.
For you i would say, u will require 2 clients in BIWDEV system ( Say BIWDEV:100 as development cleint and BIWDEV:200 as Test client ).
Now you have BIWLIVE system which is our production system, so you require 1 client BIWLIVE system..
So your 3 clients are ready and Change Request management can be realized..
Please Reward with points if this postv was usefull..
Revert For ne clarifications ..

4 System Landscape // ChaRM // No Export System found

Hi Folks,
I got some problems with a 4 system landscape in ChaRM.
The error message I get when doing a consistency check within my SMI project is:
Message from function module /TMWFLOW/CHECK_PRJ_CONS: No export system for NWA-303
Message no. /TMWFLOW/TRACK_N159
Transport route should be as follows:
DEV -> QAS -> INT -> PRD
Since I am still in testing phase I used clients instead of real systems in my configuration (TMS, Logical component,....)
My configuration looks like this:
NWA client 300 -> 301, transport layer ZCHM, transport layer SAP, consolidation
NWA client 301 -> 302, delivery
NWA client 302 -> 303, delivery
Logical Component defined as follows:
Developement System (Source: SAP): NWA:300
Type of Role: D Source System
Quality Assurance System (Source: SAP): NWA:301
Type of Role: O Target System
Integration System (Source: User): NWA:302
Type of Role: O Target System
Production System (Source: SAP): NWA:303
Type of Role: P Production System
Anyone got an idea what is wrong? did I miss anything?
The same configuration works for a 3-tier Landscape (without Integration System).
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

ChaRM with 4 system Landscape.

Hi, 
We are trying to implement ChaRM in a four system landscape 
 
AFD --> AFQ --> AFI --> AFP 
 
defined logical components, project, created maintenance cycle. U'gent correction works fine. 
 
but for regular correction, we are able to create TRs release it, but not getting imported into AFQ and of course further steps are not happening. When the status is "Development Completed", we perform "Log on to system", this pops up with a dialogue with options 
 
AFQ 200 
AFI 100 
 
to logon to system. 
 
This is the only clue we got. 
 
When we perform the actions, the status keeps changing and goes to status "Production". It doesn't obey the phases maintenance cycle as well, irrespective of the phases the status keeps changing and goes to status "Production" 
We are missing some minor thin's. 
 
Have we defined the system roles properly? IF not, how does the flow works perfectly fine with respect to U'gent correction. 
 
Please help. 
 
 
Regards, 
Ragu 
 

Hi Ragu,
I have a few questions here:
1. What normal correction type are you using - SDMI or SDMJ
2. What roles are assigned to the systems in Logical Components? I believe they are setup as Target Systems and thats why you get the pop-up with both systems when you execute 'Logon action' after 'Development Completed'
3. What is the STMS setup for this landscape?
4. Urgnt should behave properly coz it takes the shortest route to production. Can you check the tasklist of Urgnt and see if there are only 3 systems there?

Charm configuration for a 4 system landscape

Hi Experts,
We are planning to implement charm for a 4 system landscape: Development Server, Integration Server, Quality Server and Production Server.
We could configure TMS related steps, activated Charm in Solution Manager, created a maintenance project in solar_project_admin.
However, the standard delivered transaction types like Normal correction and Urgent Correction are not working in a 4 system landscape. They are only working for 3 systems (DEV, QAS and PRD).
Are there any documents or blogs that would specially explain all the steps required for 4 systems? Any kind of help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ravali

Development --> Integration --> Quality --> Production.
First, I will import the transport of copies into integration
Yes, and you test the changes here.
Second, the whole transport is released and imported to Integration - in the Test phase of the maintenance cycle and NC status being consolidated.
Third - Now, keeping the maintenance cycle in the TEST phase and NC phase in consolidated, will I be able to schedule the transport into quality server?
Nope. You consolidate your normal correction, which releases your original transport and import them into Integration, and then immediately into Quality (you already proved it worked in Integration) BEFORE you set the phase to Test. Otherwise the original transports are NOT released. And if you set your phase to Test before importing the originals, you'll get a message that you cannot import transports into Quality during this phase.
If you need to get transports into Quality for break fixes during the Test phase you need to use a Test Message and these are imported during Go-live as well.
Fourth - if the above process works, I will then change the MC to Go Live and schedule the import to Production.
With the corrected process mentioned above, yes, you will then change the phase to Go-live and it will import everything that was brought into Quality.
Hope this helps.

CHARM with a 2 system landscape

Hello ,
we have only a 2 system landscape for our ERP systems.
When I now click on the check button on the maintainance project. I receive an error :
No consolidation system found for DEV-001 (project TEST_CHARM)
No track for project TEST_CHARM with log. system P23/001
Message from function module /TMWFLOW/CHECK_PRJ_CONS: No export system for DEV-001
TMS ( without any client routes)
DEV->PROD
Any suggestions ?
Regards

Hi Daniel,
we are using CHaRM in various transport landscapes with 2 and up to 5 systems. This is all working fine. Please make sure there is a consolidation transport route from DEV, also all RFC connections from Solution Manager to your Transport Landscape are set up, inlcuding 000 clients.
TMS settings need CTC=1, and Trusted Services in STMS need to be activated.
Other prerequsites are:
- Systems are deined in SMSY
- Transport Domain link between Transport domain controllers
- Logical components defined in SMSY (with correct system roles)
- Lofical component added to SMI project
If this is all fine, please hit button "Shipment Routes" in SOLAR_PROJECT_ADMIN in tab page "System Landscape" => "Systems" You should see all transport routes required for this project.
If this works, you are in a good shape.
Best Regards,
Holger Slomka

ChaRM for a 5 system landscape

Hi all,
we got a requirement to implement charm for 5 system landscape. but the problem is
currently the scenario followed for the rollout is
1. AA(DEV-proj)--> BB(QUA - proj)
Then the TR is forwarded from BB system to the maintenance landscape
DEV>QUA> PROD
they don't want to implement retrofit functionality.
is there any way we can mapp this scenario to charm.
kindly advice in this regard.
Thanks,
Subhashini.

Hi Ragu,
Thanks for the reply.
currently a two systems are separated from the maintenance landscape.
they are forwarding the TRs to the development system.
is there any way we create 2 tracks.
1. AA-BB-DEV-QUA-PROD
2. DEV-QUA- PROD
again i not having a clear idea on how to differentiate the tracks as both leads to the same production system.
or is there any way develop a custom method for forwarding this TR to the DEV system.
kindly sugggest on how to go about.
Thanks ,
Subhashini.

SolMan ChaRM - System landscape not ready yet

Hi all,
We are configuring ChaRM for an implementation use, therefore all the systems are not set up yet.
Is it possible in SolMan to define logical component without "real" systems ?
We saw that in STMS it was possible to create virtual systems, but how do we link these virtual systems to SolMan ChaRM ?
Is it possible to define a virtual system landscape and to build and configure ChaRM scenario with this ?
Thanks a lot for all your help,
Regards.

Yes, it is possible to define a development system and virtual systems (Q- and P-System).
Via transaction SMSY you can describe the planned Q- and P-System at first as 'virtual'.
Create transport routes with transport buffers as you would do for existing systems.
Define the buffers as they should be named in future.
For experimental purposes we connected our IDES-System to our development SolMan system.
In this environment we could map such a ChaRM-configuration.
In the meantime we practiced it in our production SolMan system, too.
Best regards
Horst

4 system landscape - ChaRM

We are implementing ChaRM in Solution Manager with 4 system landscape.Our requirement is :
Client need staging between quality system & production system.
Dev ---> Quality -
> Staging -
> Production system.
My query is : Once we create this staging system what needs to be done from technical side. Do we need any workflow customization or BAdi implementation.
Please provide some information.

3 system and 4 system landscape - Charm

Dear All,
We have 3 system landsacpe for ECC and 4 System Landscape for BI?
Is it possible to configure CHaRM for these landscape?
If yes, please give me step by step guidelines.
How to create Maintenance Cycle?
Raj

Hi Raj,
This is possible. The three system landscape is the usual scenario. In four system landscap, you just need to add a pre-production system in your landscape.
Go to the Wiki http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/SM/Weblogs%20related%20to%20Solution%20Manager and search for Change Request Management. There are some 10 docs available there. Specifically have a look on
First steps to work with Change Request Management scenario
/people/dolores.correa/blog/2008/07/26/first-steps-to-work-with-change-request-management-scenario
Call service.sap.com/rkt-solman. You can find the materials for project prepration, corrections etc.
Call SPRO in your solman system and go through the documentation provided there.
This will give you adequate information for configuring ChaRM.

System landscape changes after activating charm

I need to change the system landscape on a maintenance project. I need to add an additional QA client to the project landscape. I have open change requests that I can not move to production yet so I can not complete the project. I have created another project and tested forcing the cycle closed and creating a new cycle, but the change docs are associated to the old cycle number. I have followed the steps in the charm FAQ for closing inconsistent project cycles (note 933705), but I couldnu2019t re-associate the change docs with the new cycle or project. I would think the need to change the landscape when you have open change docs would come up fairly often. If someone has successfully done this would you please provide the steps?
Thanks
Jeff

Hi Jeff,
ChaRM supports the logical component changes and also with modifiable transport orders.
Please take a look at the following link:
Change Request Management scenario: Usual questions and known errors
/people/dolores.correa/blog/2009/07/22/change-request-management-scenario-usual-questions-and-known-errors
6. Changes in the logical components of a project where Charm is already activated
8. Completing a task list
A task list can be closed even with modifiable transport orders according to note 1071412 "Completing a task plan with changeable transport requests".
Then when you create a new cycle, the system automatically assigns these processes and objects to the new cycle. This is also logged in application log. To display the log entries, you can use transaction /TMWFLOW/MAINTINST. Navigate to the tab with your project type (usually the maintenance project) and choose 'Create...' and 'Execute'. Then select the required project and choose 'Messages at Time of Creation'.
