ChaRM functionality in SOLMAN

Hello ChaRM-experts!
I have the following questions regarding ChaRM-Setup:
1) Do I always need to define a Maintenance Project or can I use tcode u201CSCMAu201D to use transport management/ChaRM for satellite systems in SOLMAN
2) Is it possible to use transport management between several logical components?
3) Which transport routes from satellite systems will be supported within ChaRM of SOLMAN? We have a lot of own transport routes.
4) Are there some escalation mechanisms, e.g. when the urgent correction will be not executed within 1 week?
Thank you very much!
Thom

Haven't tested this scenario but you are able to assign more than one logical component to a SMI project.
All the systems will be listed in your task list.
But the point is: even if one system - lets say a QA or project system - is not included in the SMI project via a logical component and thus not available in the task list released transport request from a DEV system will be delivered to that system nevertheless (in case the package/transport layer contained in the request is configured in your CTS to deliver the QA/project system).
So you may use several logical components, release your transport via action in task list. All via CTS connected systems will be delivered in background. You may import your transport requests in follow-up systems via action in the task list or via aut. import job. For the production you may want to have the system listed in the task list (and therefore part of a logical component assigned to your project) because you usually do not use aut. import jobs for that kind of system and need use the action to import transports.
Hope this helps.
/cheers

  • Configure RCA And CHaRM functionality

    Hi Experts, I have a question, we are implementing RCA and CHaRM functionality in SolMan. Can they be independently implemented or do they have any dependency. If yes ! ! Pls let me know what dependency they have. Do we need to implement in any sequence.
    Can we create two diffrent project in the Solman_setup and configure two diffrent projects to setup CHaRM and RCA functionality saparately-
    Any comments or recomendations will be highly appreciated.
    Regards

    Hi Bob,
    There is no dependency between RCA and ChaRM. There is no sequency for setting up as well.

  • BO Data Services Change Management with SAP Charm Functionality

    HI Gurus,
    We have been tasked with automating the Change Management activity for Business objects data Services. The same is currently performed as a manual task which could be prone to errors. We have researched all over the place and we have not been able to find any documentation on in order to carry out this activty through Solution Manager ChaRm functionality.
    So, Can SAP Solution manager perform the LCM (Life Cycle management) for Business objects Data Services via means of it CHaRm functionality?
    Right now we know that the components for BO are present on Solution manager within the SMSY transaction. We have also been able to create the complete landscape within the same and create a project template for it.
    Now the challenge is how do we configure ChaRm in order to move the DI code from one repository to the next?
    here are the requirements we are trying to implement:
    1. Create a full landscape for Business Objects Data Services within SMSY in Solution manager
    2. Create Project template for Business objects Data Services
    3. Create RFC connections to Database and BODS Client Servers
    4. Configure Charm in order to automate Change Management for Data Service
    Please advice.

  • Partner function for ChaRM approach in Solman 7.0

    Hi!
    I would like to set up ChaRM with Service Desk in Solman. One of the prerequisite is to create business partners.
    The questions:
    which partner function will be used within ChaRM?
    which partner function types will be used within ChaRM?
    what is the assignement of ChaRM-role (requester, tester) to partner function type/partner function?
    Should the transactions/tables such "CRMC_PARTNER_FCT", "CRMC_PARTNER_PFT" be customized?
    Thank you very much!
    regards

    > which partner function will be used within ChaRM?
    Anand: The partners funtions used depends on which partner determinations is assigned to the CHARM transaction type ( standard for CHARM transaction type is SDCR and the standard partner determination procedure is SDCR0001 ) and so all the partner funtions assigned to the above partner determination procedure will be used in CHARM.....
    So can also create you own partner functions and assign it the some partner determinations procedure and then finally assign that partner determination procedure to the relevant transation type....
    Make sure that you dont change any standard partner determination procedure, just make a copy of it and then include the partner functions u desire in that Z partner determination procedure....and then assign this partner determintion proc to trans type SDCR..
    > which partner function types will be used within ChaRM?
    Anand: This depends on the partner determination procedure assigned to the transaction type for CHARM (SDCR)..
    All the partner function included in that partner determination proc will be used....
    > what is the assignement of ChaRM-role (requester, tester) to partner function type/partner function?
    Anand: Refer SPRO path Solman-> Scenario specific settings->Service desk->Partner determination Proc-> Define partner funtions.. Just go thru it and scroll down to find out SDCR0001, SDCR0002 and so on...
    Basically CHARM role is mapped with this partner function types mentioned as above ...
    > Should the transactions/tables such "CRMC_PARTNER_FCT", "CRMC_PARTNER_PFT" be customized?
    Basically the SPRO path mentioned above refer the same tables......They can be customized....only if the requirements demands....
    Inspire ppl by rewarding !!

  • Functions in SOLMAN

    Hi experts,
    my customer has solman 7.1 EHP1 installed. Which functions are free of charge ?
    Can't find good documentation in the jungle. Please help to find docs.
    Kind regards
    W

    Hello Wolfgang,
    Solution Manager is free of charge, so your question needs to be more specific.
    All functions in Solution Manager are included.
    Typically you will also get a license for CA Wily Introscope as this is integrated into Solution Manager Diagnostics.
    There may be charges for 3rd party products that integrate with Solution Manager, but Solution Manager itself, and all its self contained functionality is offered to SAP customers at NO CHARGE.
    Hope this answers your question generally. If you have a specific requirement, please state.
    Thank you.

  • Charm configuration in solman 4.0 SP14

    Hello Gurus,
    I have to do Charm (Change Request Management) configuration in my landscape of
    SED-- SEQ,STQ-- STP.
    Solman - STM
    Can anyone of you please provide me step by step detail for this.
    Thanks in advance
    Jain Pankaj

    I am doing Charm configuration
    i am using Dolores Correa's Blog
    /people/dolores.correa/blog/2008/07/26/first-steps-to-work-with-change-request-management-scenario
    Landscape i am using for  Charm config.
    SED:030 -
    > SEQ/275 -
    STP/275  ,Domain Controller is STP ( DOMAIN_SED)
    Solman --- STM:100 ,  Solman is in the same domain,Domain Controller is STP ( DOMAIN_SED)
    My doubts :
    Spro- Solution manager- Configuration u2013 Senario Specific Settings Change Management-Transport Management System-> Generate RFC connection to 000
    Question 1- This RFC has to be genrated from solman STM:100 to Domain Controler (STP/000) ?
    or STM:100 to all systems ( SED:000 , SEQ:000 ) in my landscape ?
    Spro- Solution manager- Configuration u2013 Senario Specific Settings Change Management-Transport Management System-> Add Import Authorization to Operator/Administrator
    i. Make sure that the operator and administrator users in client 000 of the target systems have the same name as their user in the Solution Manager  system.
    ii. Assign import authorization to the operator and administrator users in client 000 of the target systems (SAP_CHANGEMAN_OPERATOR and SAP_CHANGEMAN_ADMIN roles).
    Question 2. what is operator or administrator user
    is that my user ex. PJAIN ( the one who is configuring Charm ) or any other user ?
    Spro- Solution manager- Configuration u2013 Senario Specific Settings Change Management-Transport Management System->Set Project Assignment of Requests as Mandatory
    TMWFLOW/CMSCONF --->Check the entries in the Proj. Assignment column
    System of Proj          Project Assigmnet
    SED :030                   optional
    if  i change this to "mandatory"
    Question 3 will this avoid users creating transport orders directly in dev system ( SED:030) ??
    as users are workin in dev system , and if i change this to madatory user wont b able to create change request in dev system ( SED:030 ) till the time configuration of  Charm gets over by me ,
    and if i stuck in some error during charm configuration , no user wil be able to create change request in SED:030 ??
    Please advice

  • Partner functions WebUI Solman

    Hi experts,
    I'm using Solman 7.1 in Incident Management and I've got a strange problem in using partner functions.
    I used SLFN0002 and created a copy of it ZLFN0002. Then I added both in the WebGUI under "details". And here is my problem:
    when I fill the field SLFN0002 the business partner appears in both fields. But in bock "business partner" only SLFN0002 is filled.
    when I then delete the field (under details) ZLFN0002. SLFN0002 is deleted too.
    when I fill field ZLFN0002 the business partner doesn't appear in the field (but under business partner block)
    It seems like an linking error. But I don't know where to find this.
    Does somebody has an idea how to solve that issue?
    Best regards,
    Christina

    Hi,
    I checked the recommended note --> didn't solve the problem.
    I read the block - for me everything seems to be ok.
    Here are some screenshots
    the partner function:
    under specify partner function display in transaction:
    I used these numbers in the WebUI.
    Any idea how to fix this issue. (Other partner functions work fine)

  • Basic Introscope functions in SolMan vs full blown Introscope  functions

    Does anyone have - or can lead me to -  a table or matrix that shows the Wiley Introscope functionality that is provided in Solution Manager (7.x) vs the full blown functionality of Wiley Introscope that can be purchased from CA?
    I want to map what gaps exist between the functionality of the two and be able to determine what additional costs are involved in purchasing full blown Wiley Introscope?  To my understanding, SolMan provides a base Introscope functionality.

    Hello,
    Everything you need to know to configure Wily Introscope in Solman is located in the media library at

  • No users are shown for Service Desk functionality in SOLMAN  4.0

    Hello!
    I would like to set up the business partners for Service Desk in SAP Solution Manager.
    If I choose the solution and execute "Edit --> Create Business partner" for the SAP R/3 4.7 then I get the warning “no users are shown under the system”.
    For the SAP SRM 5.0 I get only one user (SOLMAN<SID><CLNT>), meanwhile I set the data selection to blank.
    I also copied the user account of  SOLMAN<SID><CLNT> to the user test with no success.
    I have assigned the Object S_RFC_ and S_USER_GRP.
    The users have also the profile SAP_ALL.
    How can this problem be solved?
    Thank you very much!
    regards

    Thank you very much!
    The problem is solved!
    Im my case was necessary to apply SAP Note 1055630.
    I have assigned the role "SAP_SM_S_USER_GRP" to the user with RFC_READ connection, refreshed the last alert in DSWP and tha is.

    I would like to set up the business partners for Service Desk in SAP Solution Manager.
    If I choose the solution and execute "Edit --> Create Business partner"
    no users are shown under the system.
    Especially for the SAP R/3 4.7 system it is the case.
    If I change the data selection for an earlier time or leave blank, the situation does not change, meanwhile I have enough users in the satellitesystems.

    Hi,
    Answering your question!
    Ans. 1. Either user should have SAP_ALL + S_RFC.. it is very important to have S_RFC object. SAP excluded S_RFC from SAP_ALL for the security reason.
    or , any user should have authority to create and delete users + S_RFC, S_RFCACL & S_T-CODE.. I just did my setup, so I remember after searching for long long....
    Ans. 2. you need the following RFC's for sattelite system;
    >>> SM_<SID>CLNT(CLIENT#)_READ
    >>> SM_<SID>CLNT(CLIENT#)_TRUSTED
    >>> SM_<SID>CLNT(CLIENT#)_TMW
    you should see them in solman sm59.... make sure you use proper user with proper OBJECT. other wise, u'll see bunch of dumps every hour.. Let me know if you need any other help!!
    Thanks,
    I hope this will fix your problem
