Charm - customizing landscape in SolMan

Hello,
I want to start working with ChaRM at at customer.  I would like to setup a "satellite system" that simulates a real DEV, QA, PRD.  We don't want to touch the current productive route, nor moving things into production while we test Solman.
I suggesting a new logical system (ERP) pointed to three different clients.  However we are running out of server boxex.  One of the possibility is to have any ERP Sandbox available and then create these three additional  clients (500, 600, 700).  Then create a transport route for these three clients. 
In this way we are going to have teh possibility of testing charm tickets for client-dependent customizing before moving to the real productive route.
Do you see any other alternative for this type of simulation and training?  Do you have any example of a landscape for Solution Manager configuration and testing??.
I appreciate your help
Esteban Hartzstein

Hello Esteban,
I have been testing ChaRM this way for many customer for 2 years and it works perfectly... If you have only one system available I don't see any other way to do it.
Regards,
Stéphane.

  • Is it Possible to Create Custom Report in SOLMAN

    Hi Experts,
                         I am new to SOLMAN. I have one question. Is it Possible to create our own custom Reports in SOLMAN. If possible
    tell me the variuos types of reports and how we can create.

    Hi
    SAP Solution Manager can be used for entire ALM so you need to clearly specify which area and what report you are talking about
    http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/alm-getting-started
    General transaction code for reporting is
    SOLAR_EVAL
    it helps you to build the entire project report phase wise or for service desk or for charms or test management etc
    check if that you are looking for.

  • 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

  • (CHaRM) multiple landscapes in one maintenance project

    Dear solman experts,
    I know that it is possible to have one global maintenance project supporting multiple landscapes with the scenario CHaRM, instead of one maintenance project for one landscape. My question is what are the specific configurations to keep in mind when performing the configuration? And what are the consequences e.g. Can I still use the Change Document types urgent and normal correction or is it limited to only the normal correction due to complexity?
    I hope someone can help me this.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Ricky

    Hi
    Yes it is possible................ with maintenance project you get normal, admin and urgent correction types
    only with implementation projects you get normal & admin only and no urgent corrections
    Secondly you have to create logical component for each system landscape and add all of them to your single project
    e.g
    SAP ECC landscape LC1 Dev 100 QA 200 PRD 300
    SAP BI landscape Lc2 dev 100 qa 200 prd 300
    etc
    Note one logical component can store only one system landscape information not all systems
    so add all of them in one project and activate charm.
    now whenever the ticket is created ....developer can choose the system in which they want to create a TR ......and based upon LC it knows which is right Quality and prd.
    Morver never forget .....Solman domain controller is master and it uses the same TMS setup which you for satellite system without charm.
    hope its clear now

  • ChaRM migration to New Solman System

    Hi,
    We are planning to Migrate old Solman system ChaRM to new Solman ChaRM.
    Now how can I migrate RFCs & CDs to new Solman system ChaRM.
    Regards
    P K

    Hi PK
    There is no tool for moving the SLFN documents from one solman to the other. The only option to keep the already created tickets is to upgrade the the existing solman system to release 7.1.
    In SOlman 7.1 SM* transaction types are comming so during the upgrade we don´t make any changes to the old transaction types like SLFN, so the upgrade should not change your current configuration in solman 7.0 for incident management.
    You will not have any impact on Service Desk when using the old transaction type SLFN.
    So there can be only one recommendation for your situation:
    Perform an UPGRADE and please don't go for a fresh installation with data migration afterwards.
    There is no easy transfer of CRM document (as incidents, change requests, issues, top issues, ...) available.
    Advantages of the upgrade:
    - standard procedure
    - configuration and data is available after the upgrade
    The solman 7.1 is coming with new transaction types that you need to customizing  and it is not touching the old transaction types existing in solman 7.0.
    Please, take a look at this:

  • Custom landscape page size - - content squashed portrait

    I'm trying to create a PDF for an MS PowerPoint file with a very large page size, 46" x 36" (landscape). I'm using Acrobat 7.0 on Windows XP.
    In keeping with guidelines at www.adobeforums.com/webx/.3bbad46c/0 I selected the printer properties and created a new form with the desired values, entering the dimensions as if it were portrait, 46" height and 36" width. I also created a custom Adobe page size using the same dimensions. Under "Layout" I chose "landscape."
    The output file has the correct dimensions with a landscape orientation. However, the content is squashed onto the left side of the page with a very wide left margin, as if Acrobat were trying to fit the content into portrait-oriented dimensions. Words are overwritten on top of one another and it looks horrible.
    Just to check, I went back into the form preferences and the page size and individually changed first one and then the other to have the correct landscape height and width. Neither approach worked.
    Any thoughts?

    Oops, sorry, looks like I'm in the wrong forum.

  • ChaRM customizing - status hangs

    Hi,
    in customizing Service Desk/ChaRM we are using Incident Tickets (type ZLPI) which are linked with Change Requests (type ZDCI). The status profile used for the Incident Tickets is the following: 
    10     OPEN     Open     10     25     1     1     ZLPI_10
    20     DESC     Problem Described     20     30     1     1     ZLPI_20     INPR
    25     REJE     Rejected     25     25     1     1     ZLPI_25     FINI
    30     PACC     Problem Accepted     20     40     1     1     ZLPI_30     INPR
    40     PESS     In Process by ECS     20     50     1     1     ZLPI_40     INPR
    50     SPRO     Solution Proposed     50     71     1     1     ZLPI_50     INPR
    60     ONHO     On Hold     50     71     1     1     ZLPI_60     INPR
    66     SAPP     Solution Approved     66     80     1     1     ZLPI_65     INPR
    71     SREJ     Solution Rejected     25     71     1     1     ZLPI_70     INPR
    80     SIMP     Solution Implemented     80     90     1     1     ZLPI_80     INPR
    90     CLOS     Closed   90     90     1     1     ZLPI_90     FINI
    99     STS     Sent to SAP     99     99     1     1     ZLPI_99     INPR
    A Change Request can be withdrawn which causes the status of the linked Incident to be set to "Problem Accepted" (via the SET_PREDOC action which works fine). The only problem we encounter now is, once the status is set to "Problem Accepted", no further statuses can be set.
    Additional information:
    - the system status remains "In Process" when the Incident is set to "Problem Accepted"
    - the status still can be changed with the CRM_SOCM_SERVICE_REPORT (sequence of status profile is maintained)
    - Linked Change Requests can only be created when the incident is in status "Solution Approved" meaning every incident with a withdrawn change request already reached status Solution Approved (stat.nbr 66) before
    Has anyone encountered a similar problem with status profiles which 'hang' at a certain status ?
    Thanks in advance,
    Tom

    Correct,
    the following statuses - which should be shown - are not shown:
    - Problem Described     
    - Rejected     
    - In Process by ECS

  • ChaRM: Customizing of Change Request (IBase/Component)

    Hi!
    By creation of Change Request the value "IBase / Component" should be filled.
    The default values here are: "0" and "0".
    Has some one already customizng experience here?
    I would like to change the value to e.g. "1" and "314" (my productive IBase).
    Thank you very much!
    regards

    Hi Holger,
    I am not sure about CHARM.
    But since CHARM is also based on Service Desk functionality, may be the transaction IB52 can help you.
    Executing IB52 transaction, will take u to a screen from where u can select your Installed Base using value help. In most of the cases, there will be only one option.
    Just select that iBase, in the following screen, you will be able to see all the attributes of your installed base in the Text tab of the lower right part of the screen which is editable. Here you can make the required changes as you wish.
    Reward for helpful answers.

  • ChaRM: Customer fields Tab & Documentation

    Hi
    In the Change request screen there is a tab for customer fields under transaction data.  In this Tab there is a "Documents" button that allows me to attach project documentation to the CR.
    However if I try to do that when the CR has been approved it just says "Function cannot be performed".
    How can I change this behaviour to allow me to attach documentation after the CR is approved?

    Thank you
    This table is configured in the IMG area
    SAP Solution Manager
    Scenario Specific settings
    Change request management
    extended configuration
    assignment of documents
    configure action menu
    In this area I took the 2 entries for SDCR user status E0004 and copied them
    Set the activities to Change Document & saved these
    Then copied the original 2 entries again
    Set the activies to Assign document
    That gave me the activitie I require.
