Charm connectivity and transport

I have a Solution manager 7.01 Ehp1 I wanted to connect the ECC system with Solution manager to move the transports between Dev -- QA -- PRD after Approval.
Can anybody update on how is this connectivity done and if we do this connectivity then can we still moved the transport in a usual manner fron Dev- QA - Prd.
Thanks

Hello Himanshu,
The relevant information is in the SPRO documentation of the ChaRM activities, there is a part for the TMS configuration relevant to ChaRM:
SAP Solution Manager Implementation Guide
-> SAP Solution Manager
-> Basic Settings
   -> Scenario-Specific Settings
    -> Change Request Management
The RFCs from the Solution Manager to the clients of the target systems are created from transaction SMSY, after the systems and clients have been defined. This information you can also find in the SPRO:
SAP Solution Manager Implementation Guide
-> SAP Solution Manager
-> Basic Settings
   -> System Landscape
A summary of all this can also be found at SDN blog /people/dolores.correa/blog/2008/07/26/first-steps-to-work-with-change-request-management-scenario

CHARM - Refresh and Transport Log

Hi
We have configured charm if i refresh Dev or Qas system what will happen to the transport change log created by Charm.
is there any procedure to save the transport log(out side the system) or to take back up of the data before refreshing the systems.
Thanks
Nanda.

Hi Nanda,
the transport logs are neither stored in Solution Manager nor in the database of the refreshed system. They are stored in the transport file system /usr/sap/trans/log. So a system refresh should not have any impact to ChaRM regarding the transport logs. As Solution Manager is only controlling tp in satellite systems, there is no big difference in a system copy with Change request management and without (as long as you don't overwrite the transport domain controller).
So you can follow the same procedure as you did before activating ChaRM. Just make sure, that all RFCs between Solution Manager and Satellite system still work and user and roles in the satellite system after the refresh are being restored (but this you should always do even without ChaRM).
If you mean the history of change documents in Solution Manager: They are not affected by the system copy.
Best Regards,
Holger Slomka

ChaRM: link between ChaRM message and Transport Request

We use the action 'Release Transport Requests' in the task list of the
Maintenance Cycle to release all assigned Transport Requests. In the
pop-up window that appears we see all Transport Request numbers and the
transport description.
Is there a possibility to add an extra column in this pop-up screen, to
see the link between the Correction number and the Transport Request?

I agree on this one.
However, a naming convention for OSS notes and FRICE is implemented over here.
That's why it would be useful to have an additional column.
The link is somewhere in SAP, because when you go to the tab Project Structure in TA /TMWFLOW/PROJ for the selected Maintenance Cycle, you see which Transport Requests are assigned to which ChaRM msg.

No administration authorization in Change and Transport System in CHARM

Hi guys,
I am currently working for CHARM implementation for ECC 6.0
now my problem i created an urgent correction and i released the transport request successfully, but when i try to execute the Pass correction test action it is saying that No import into test system has taken place yet. then i went to task plan and checked there in quality system it is saying No administration authorization in Change and Transport System.
So i asked my basis team to assign the S_TMW_IMPORT profile to user TSADM in 000 client of quality system and additinally our basis team has assigned S_CTS_ADMI. authorization object to TSADM user ID in 000 client of quality system. But SAP has suggested to assign S_CTS_IMPALL and S_CTS_IMPSGL authorization profile to S_CTS_ADMI.
But the problem is S_CTS_IMPALL and S_CTS_IMPSGL authorization profile is not available in 000 client of quality system.
Kindly give your valuable inputs as early as possible. the solution provided by anybody will be rewarded with points.
Thanks&Regards
Raju

can you try assigning the below profiles to that ID.
S_TMW_OPERA
Operator in CTS (All Transport Authorizations)
S_CTS_ALL
Transport system: All authorizations
S_CTS_DEVELO
WBO: Profile for developers in P systems (incl. tasks)
I too have checked and i did not come across the profiles nor objects S_CTS_IMPALL and S_CTS_IMPSGL .
Where did u get the message that they have to be imported ?
Hope it helps.
Award points for the replies that are helpful to you.

How to get truck no and transporter name from header.text(vf03) to webi rep

Hi
making a stock received details bill wise with webi (bo 3.1)
so require a truck no and transporter name along with consignor detail and bill wise detail.
picking data from vbrk and vbrp tables.
pls assist in this
Thanks and Regards
Ritu Raj
BI/BO Consultant

Thanks M
Yes It is Sales and Distribution process and we are using ODBC Connectivity through database client for the connection parameter in the Universe designed to the R/3 ECC.
So we dont have
a) DS
b) BW
c) Data Connector
So Universe is basically on the relational Data
base where by linking VBRK,VBRP and various Master tables.
(OLTP level universe)
So the quesion remain as it is bcos we cant access functional module READ_TEXT in the R/3
Pls suggest for the following Alternatives
a)Using Crystal Reports
b)Use BW (Currently it is not there,but soon be Implemented)
What do you think?
Bcos we dont want to refresh z table which could be developed from given functional module before running our report.

SAP Query Use and Transport Strategy

Anyone wish to share their experience in the use of SAP Query? We generally have an understanding that we don't want to be giving out this tool to end-users in Production. We would like to create queries, and when we wish to give them out we'll attach t-codes to them and roll them out.
However in practice, this is becoming difficult. An example is where in our gold client we create queries and then we would typically transport to our unit test client. But whenever we do an export, it generates a transport request. Before we are done testing we may end up with 10's of transports for a single query?
Anyone have some ideas on a transport strategy for SAP Query? How about it's use in Production? Our landscape for changes are typically DEV Gold -> DEV Test -> QAS -> PRD. We would ideally like our transport strategy for queries to match what we do for everything else.

HI,
Query objects are transported in different ways according to the query area in which they were created.
In order to know which transport options are available, you must first understand how query objects are created.
Standard Area
Query objects are stored in the client-specific table AQLDB. They are not connected to the Change and Transport Organizer.
Global Area
Query objects are stored in the cross-client table AQGDB. They are connected to the Change and Transport Organizer.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/d2/cb467f455611d189710000e8322d00/content.htm
Global area objects can be transported into other systems. Standard area query objects can not only be transported to other clients within their own system, but into all clients of other systems as well. In addition, query objects can be transported from the global query area to the standard query area and back within the same system.Transports are normally performed by the system administrator, not by end-users. For this reason, you need the appropriate authorizations

Aggregation level ZFI_FINGL is locked by the Change and Transport Organizer

Dear,
After transport from a dev to prod system I get this message on the planning modeler :
"System is not set to changeable - objects are not changeable
Aggregation level ZFI_FINGL is locked by the Change and Transport Organizer"
Do you know how to fix it ?
Thanks in advance,
Thibaut

Hi,
By default the planning modeller configuration is added to the standard BEx transport (if it is not saved in $TMP). If there is not one set up then create one in the admin workbench transport connection.
If you don't use this, then you can add the objects you wish to change manually into a transport before you change them - this also works.
Cheers

CharM questions (mix Transport strategy)

Hi ChaRM-experts!
I plan to map the existing transport landscape into ChaRM scenario of SOLMAN and have the following questions:
1) Is it possible to combine ChaRM-functionality and still use the old transport settings (without ChaRM) for the same system landscape:
DEV --> QAS --> VO1 (Without ChaRM and with virtual system)
DEV:101 --> QAS:101 --> PRD:101 (With SOLMAN ChaRM)
Can e.g. the target group concept help in this situation?
2) Is it possible, after the CharM implementation, to allow the developers create transports in DEV system?
Thank you very much!
Holger

ChaRM: combination of transport strategies

Hi ChaRM-experts!
I plan to map the existing transport landscape into ChaRM scenario of SOLMAN and have the following questions:
1) Is it possible to combine ChaRM-functionality and still use the old transport settings (without ChaRM) for the same system landscape, letu2019s say:
DEV --> QAS --> VO1 (Without ChaRM and with virtual system)
DEV:101 --> QAS:101 --> PRD:101 (With SOLMAN ChaRM)
2) What will happen with existing transport, transport in pipeline by switching into ChaRM scenario?
3) Is there some restrictions for the implementation of ChaRM for SAP R/3 4.7 systems?
Thank you very much!
Holger

Hi Holger,
1) Is it possible to combine ChaRM-functionality and still use the old transport settings for the same system landscape, letu2019s say:
DEV --> QAS --> VO1 (Without ChaRM and with virtual system)
DEV:101 --> QAS:101 --> PRD:101 (With SOLMAN ChaRM)
For Charm we need the transport route to be client specific.Once you have done the client specific transport route,you cannot use the older Transport route.
2) What will happen with existing transport, transport in pipeline by switching into ChaRM scenario?
TPs created before charm will be moved manually(normal process),as they will not be captured under charm project.
3) Is there some restrictions for the implementation of ChaRM for SAP R/3 4.7 systems?
No.
Please revert for any clarifications,

Avinash.

ChaRM with several transport layers

Hi!
We would like to use Solman ChaRM approach.
According to SPRO-documentation ChaRM only supports consolidation routes from standard transport layer.
We have besides the standard transport layer other transport layer and have the following question
1)What will happen when the developer try to change and import into QAS system object assigning to none-standard transport layer?
1a) ChaRM does not allow to change this object and the appropriate pop up window comes up
1b) ChaRM integrate this transport layer as standard transport layer
Any helpful information will be very appreciated
Thank you very much!
regards
Thom

Hello Thom,
I think, your question is almost independent from CHaRM. This is handled by the transport management system (TMS). If your developer changes the object assignment to a transport layer, and there is a transport track for this layer to the (same) QAS it should work. But if this QAS is not configured in CHaRM as a target system (in SOLAR_PROJECT_ADMIN), SolMan will probably raise an error message.
Also if the transport layer assignment / dev package not valid for this transport track, you will not able to release the transport -> SolMan is just using TMS mechanism and this will bring up an error message in CRMD_ORDER.
Unfortunately you can't see the transport logs in CRMD_ORDER directly, so the answer to 1a) is: In case of trouble releasing the transport you will get an error, but not the full error message.
1b) ChaRM cannot change a transport layer to a standard transport layer, this must be done using STMS on the transport daimn controller.

Holger

How to Configuring Groups and Transport Targets ?

Hi Experts,
In my scenario i am having two XI Servers XI1(DEV) and XI2(QUA) each system is connected to different r/3 system.
If i transport object from XI1(DEV) to XI2(QUA) after defining Transport Target in XI1(DEV) as r/3 system connected to XI2(QUA) using file system would be fine (or) should i go for CTS?
Regards,
RajeshKumar.D

Hi,
You have to use Transpoprt method
Procedure:
1) Call Integration Builder screen on DEV Server with http://hostname:J2ee Port/rep
2) Call SLD (System Landscape Directory) Component from the Integration builder
Save all the .zip files on the Local Desktop
3) Select the Software Component & say Export that you want to Export from DEV
Server to Production server and which is going to use in the IR of XI
4) Also Select the Product of the above SWC and say Export
5) Select the Technical Systems (TS of XI & TS of the SAP R/3) and say Export
6) Select the Business System(s) & say Export; those are associated with above Exported
Technical systems.
In Production Server
1) Logon to the SLD of the Production Server.
2) Create a Technical System and Business system which points to the Production SAP R/3
3) Go to Administration TAB in the main page of SLD
4) Select the Import option to Import the SWC , PRD, TS,& BS which we Exported Earlier in DEV Server
5) Click on Browse and select the .zip files that is to Import into Production Server,
Which were stored on the local desktop at the time of DEV Server Export
And say Import Selected File Option
By this we exported and imported the SLD Objects
Now we have to create transport groups and transport targets in the Production server of SLD
Creation of Transport Groups
1) Select the Business systems GroupEdit Groups
2) Click on New Group and give the name of the group as DEV_group & select the
Corresponding Development serveru2019s integration Server
3) Similar way create another group for Production serveru2019s business system as
PRD_group and select the Production serveru2019s integration Server
Creation of transport targets
This is to Define which business systems in two different groups correspond to each other
1) Select each Business system in the SLD and select transport TAB---click on
Add/Change Target and select its corresponding target business system.
For Example:
If you select the business system of Production XI server means
In the target you have to select group as DEVGROUP and the business system of Development XI server.
Like this do the same for other business systems also
Ex:
BS_PRD_Integration Server----
BS_DEV_Inetration Server
