ChaRM and test management in implementation projects
Hi
I am doing implementation projects in solution manager. i have activated charm in the project so as to transport all the changes related to the project with the project lifecycle.
I have got confusions regarding CHarm and Test MAnagement.. when we activated CHaRM the tester can logon to the system and perform testing and pass the Change Document to the next phase.
What is the standard flow when both CHaRM and TEst Management for a project exists??
Thanks
Please can someone tell me how to use TEST MANAGEMENT and ChaRM for Implementation Project together??

Hi FI/CO gurus
I would like to know about the testing phase in implementation project like
1. What are the different types of testing done by a SAP FI/CO consultant after configuring the relavent objects in implementation project, pls provide with one example of your experience?
2. what is the difference between SAP version 4.7 and ECC 6.0 in FI/CO point of view?
3. Please tell me what are the main responsibilities of a SAP FI/CO consultant apart from configuring objects in implementation project?

Generic searches in Solman 7.1 Charm and Incident Management
Hi,
I would like to configure some GENERIC searches in the web UI for ChaRM
and incident Managment.
Something like:
Show all my Incidents
or
Show all my Change Reqeust
or
Show all tickets where I am a Change Manager.
Like it is possible in crm_dno_monitor or in the Workcenter.
Afterwards I´d like to share that with the global Sharing tool.
Does anyone know if that is possible?
thanks and Best RegardsHi thanks for your answers,
If I define a query in the workcenter, how do I get it usable in CRM WEB UI.
In CRM WEB UI I can define a search which shows every Change for a specific BP, but that does´t help me if I want to share this query. I need something which shows for every users his/her Changes.
I do not understand what you mean with 'How do I connect to CRM UI'. Via Internet Explorer.
Thanks and Best Regards

Change Request Management in Implementation projects or not?
Hello guys,
We are starting a Change Request Management project at a customer. We discuss in the blueprint phase whether we should be using it only for maintenance activities, and not for implementation projects. We have some people that can be working both in maintenance and also in projects at the same time.
We want to understand whether that scenario is possible and also whether is advisable. We want to have control over the process, and therefore we should be restricting the creation of Transport Orders through SE01 so that we know that transport requests are created only by change document action.
What are the drawback, difficulties, considerations you may consider in making that decision? Is it logic to work that way or is it better just to implement it for the whole installation, including implementation projects?

this you can do either via SE03 / Display/Change Request Attributes / SAP_TMWFLOW Request created using Change Manager X X / Defaul for all client = Mandatory
or
you can achieve this by just activating the CHaRM in SolMan ( solar_project_admin / system landscape / CHARM)

Use Change management in implementation project
Hello SolMan Experts,
I have a requirement that I need to do an implementation through solution manager. I want to develop objects in my R/3 systems using solution manager. I have seen a thread where someone told that Change request is not possible in implementation but we have an option to create a change request with development(Implementation).
Should I create a change request development(Implementation) for each development happening for the project?
Please help.
Thanks in advance
FarzanHi Farzan,
While I am not able to give you further technical know-how on your specific question, I would like to share a word of caution though.
In my experience, activating ChaRM within an active Implementation Project poses problems if you have to change the 'System Landscape' of the project midway.
For instance, if you had 3 Logical Components listed in the tab Sys. Landscape of the Implementation Project, activated ChaRM, and later, you decide to add one more Logical Component, it does reset the CTS counters to '0' and you have to do a few steps manually, to restore it to what it should be.
I am not sure if this is due to a bug or if this is a known constraint. I for one, can't foresee any Implementation Project which can effectively freeze the Sys. Landscape scope by end of Blueprint phase. In long projects, due to afterthoughts and various pressures, one may end up tampering with a few Logical Components well into Realisation phase.
You may like to check with SAP over OSS and ask them for recommended approach.
As a recap, yes it is possible to activate ChaRM in Implementation project technically. However, if it is indeed a recommended approach, I am not so sure.

Change Management in Implementation project
Hi all,
Have any one used change request management in implementaion project?How to transport tp's in that?is it the same way as we do in maintenance project?How the transport request will be tracked?
Thanks in advance,
Avinash.Hi,
This is how it happens
<b>Maintenance projects</b>
You want to make changes in systems as part of your planned maintenance period, and import all these changes simultaneously into production systems at the end of the maintenance period. For this purpose, you want to create a maintenance cycle, which is represented by a task list in the Schedule Manager.
A maintenance cycle is the period of time in which you:
<i>Make changes in maintenance systems
Include these changes in new transport requests
Import these requests into follow-on systems for testing</i>
At the end of a maintenance cycle, all transport requests are imported into the production system at the same time. Subsequently, the maintenance cycle can be closed manually and a new one can be created, if necessary (but only in compliance with the rules of the change requests that belong to the maintenance cycle).
<b>Implementation, template, and upgrade projects</b>
You want to make changes in systems as part of your project, and import all these changes simultaneously into production systems at the end of the project. For this purpose, you want to create a task list in the Schedule Manager.
With the help of this task list you:
<i>Make changes in development systems
Include these changes in new transport requests
Import these requests into follow-on systems for testing</i>
At the end of a project, all transport requests are imported into the production systems at the same time.
Task lists are generated automatically upon your request. If you use the Service Desk, the Service Desk transaction for managing cycle phases is also generated.

Can any one explain about the SAP Testing process in Implementation Project
Can any one explain about the SAP Testing process to be carried out by BW Consultant in an Implementation Project which is in Testing Phase..
hi bharat,
Two types of testing is possible in bw
unit testing
integration testing
Integration testing - It is the phase of software testing in which individual software modules are combined and tested as a group. It follows unit testing and precedes system testing.
Integration testing takes as its input modules that have been checked out by unit testing, groups them in larger aggregates, applies tests defined in an Integration test plan to those aggregates, and delivers as its output the integrated system ready for system testing.
Unit testing - One part or the whole part of transfer rules , update rules, etc..
Integration testing - The whole data flow cycle to be tested

Solution Manager for Implementation project
Hello,
I want to know how we should use solution manager for an implementation project. I am aware about the ASAP methods and the transactions in solman system for each phase. I have starting trouble like how to and where to start with? My ECC systems are not yet installed. Still we can go ahead with Blueprint creation and definition of roadmaps etc. Currently, it is done on paper. If anybody has done an implementation project through solution manager, could you please give me some hints how to start ? I repeat I am aware of the transactions but dont know what to add there in solar01/02 when the process are not defined/system not installed. Please guide me.
RajeevHi Rajeev,
You're correct; you can start building the Business Blueprint without SMSY having all the systems that are 'to-be'. As long as you enter logical components in the project landscape with the correct product versions, you can replace those with the actual components once they have been installed. The BPR needs those product versions in the blueprint when you load the relevant scenario's. Once loaded, you can start documenting the scenario's, place the processes and process steps not used out of scope or delete them entirely and define custom scenario's, processes and process steps.
When the Blueprint has been completed with relevant design documentation, the Configuration transaction can be used to document how you actually configure the systems and, of course, to configure them from Solution Manager. The system landscape officially has to be definitive at the end of the Blueprint phase, unless you won't be configuring the systems centrally from Solution Manager.
The Solution is actually not necessary for a clean implementation; the Project will eventually lead to the solution. Once the systems are all configured and documented in SSM, you create the Solution and upload the project documentation into it in the Solution Directory.
Let us know how you get on!
Kind regards,
Patrick -
Integration of Charm and test work bench or customizing
Hello,
Solution Manager allows one to define the business processes. One can then define test cases for these business processes. Then one can use the test workbench to do the testing.
Is there any way to link the test workbench with Charm?
Are there any such plans for such integration?
Customizing can also be done from the business process definitions in a project. Are there any way that charm can be integrated to make changes in this way?
Regards,
Avrohom WeissmanThis is very far from the type of integration I expect to see. Proper incident management means when a problem occurs and incident is logged into the sap service desk. If this incident requires a change it should be forwarded to the CHange Reqest Management (CHaRM). From there it should have a business impact analysis, then a system or architecture review, only then if it is approved should development be started, after the development, it goes into QA for testing. Since the business process is defined in the solman and there are test cases for this business process. It makes sense that one can use the test workbench to verify the business process, and document the testing. If there is a problem with the testing and it needs to go back to development, it should be connected to the same incident logged initially. There should not be a second problem logged. It is still part of the same incident and should be managed as such.
This question exists also for a maintenance project. Once I have an operational system and all the business process defined in the project and a change arrives into ChaRM, why canu2019t the change be done in the project like and implementation?
How can one find out the direction of this product? Does SAP have any plans to develop solman into an integrated tool or will it remain a bunch of simple tools that co-exist on the same server? -
Integration of CHARM and Document Management
Dear All
After a lot of time on sdn wiki and thanks to the key blogging contributors , I now have a decent understanding of how to configure CHARM
To go into more details, i would like to integrate CHARM with the Document Management within Solution MAnager
Would i be right to assume that this integration is currently today in use only by a few GXP kind of customers
But it seems the configuration of document management itself is not so difficult (eg creating document types, statuses, status schemes, signature strategy etc) The IMG has the steps described though in not great detail. Some topics are still bit specialized eg document versioning etc
I was wondering if someone who has already spent time in this area could write a SDN blog or SAP experts coudl write a wiki section
I see this as the next big improvement since everything would be out of the box and external document databases can be discarded etc
Also the workflow of informing and signing documents for clear visibility is on the same system etc
Some requirements could be
1) what could be the minimal document workflow
2) what kind of checks can be implemnet to prevent CD to move forward if a document is not in 'Approved' status
3) at what point could a QM come into picture
etc
Though the documentation is in bits and pieces, if we could have alll at one place - lets say how its done , would be very helpful
Like a Wiki or the SAP CHARM configuration guide
or like the ITSM book by Nathan Williams with illustrations :-)
Thx

Blue printing and Test Management in Solution Manager
Hi All,
I have a few questions regarding projects in Solution Manager.
1) We currently have our test cases maintaned in an excel sheet. Is it possible to create same in Solution Manager?
2) Our blueprinting was done outside of Solman. To build the test cases do we have to carry out the blueprinting again? or can we just upload the documents?
This is my first time, therefore am a bit lost in this.
Thanks,
SavindiHi,
You can keep your test cases in excel sheets. In Solar02, in the test cases tab you'll be able to upload the test cases in xls format or create it.
Regarding the blueprint, there is no way to upload it or use the generated one. I would recommend you to set your whole project
in solution manager and generate the blueprint again.
Kind regards,
Fabricius
