ChaRM - Support for 46C as Transport Domain Controller

Good day.
We are currently testing ChaRM with the Transport Domain Controller being on a 46C box. We are getting the following error when trying to create a Task List:
Function module "TMW_DISPLAY_TRANSPORT_ROUTES" not found.
Is the use of a TDC on 46C supported with ChaRM?
Thanks,
Charles.

Hey Charles,
CHARM can only be implemented on satellite Systems with SAP Version 4.6 C onwards and above...
However, even then domain controller needs to be on 4.7.. i.e it requires WAS 620 aplication server...
Therefore we can conclude that CHARM cannot be implemented with the satellite system you had mentioned above..
Please Reward for useful points...

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

Using Solution Manger for transports across entire landscape

Hi
I would like to know, is there any option in Solution Manager to use for transports for the entire landscape?
We have around 35+ SAP instances of different releases like ECC6.0, SCM 4.1, and BI 7.0 in our landscape. We also have portal systems in our landscape.
Currently we are doing transports in 3 different ways like for ECC 6.0, we are doing using Dev ECC 6.0 system, for SCM, we are doing from Dev SCM system and for BI system we are doing using Dev BI system.
Is there any option available in Solution Manager to do transports for the entire landscape of different releases?
Regards
Srinivas

Hello,
I am not sure to understand you but you can describe all your transport route under Solution Manager for all your landscape.
Then you release transport and manage workflow from Solman.
You can do it for Java System with CTS+.

Charm Prerequisites for satellite systems

What versions of sap needs to be installed on the satellite system in order to work with solution manger charm.
For example can charm be made to work with a SAP 4.6C system?
Where is this documented? I did a search and can not find it anywhere.
Easy points.
Cheers

Hi Avrohom Weissman
Sorry i forgot mention it, in the right hand side, look for the Configuration Guide SAP Solution Manager as of SP15 (based on your SP level of Solman) which will give all the prerequisites of the respective scenarios of Solution Manager.
For Charm refer the page number 10.

ChaRM and BI Transports

We have setup and configured ChaRM and started using it for an ECC Implementation Project and tested an ECC Maintenance Project.
However, Per OSS Note 1115759 (and experiences!), we do not use import all functionality for our SAP BI environment.
With ChaRM, it seems import all (or at least import all for the project) is used for both the implementation project and normal corrections of the maintenance project. We are not sure what to do for BI.
Does anyone have experience/recommendations for ChaRM with BI Systems?
Thanks!
Christine

Hello
You should first fix the errors you get such as the missing consolidation system
Please see thread [Re: No consolidation system found for SID in solman; or check the forum on the error message "'No consolidation system found for" and you will find relevant information.
I would advise to update your SAP Solution Manager though to one of the latest available levels, there are a lot of fixes and enhancements to Charm (and also availability of quality gate management which gives some of the functionality of Charm but is more compact).
Kind regards
Tom

ChaRM - Import of transports (urgent!!)

Ok, got a bit of an issue with the import of our transports - we are using ChaRM.
For our standard corrections, the following occurs:
Step 1 - Change Request is created and approved.
Step 2 - Change Document is created (ZDMJ)
Step 3 - Transport is created and task is released in SE10
Step 4 - ZDMJ is marked as In QAS
**At this point a TOC (Transport of copies) is created and automatically released**
Step 5 - The TOC is imported into QAS via the task list
Step 6 - ZDMJ is marked as QAS Test Successful
**At this point the original transport is released**
Step 7 - The original transport is imported into QAS via the task list
The above 7 steps are all working ok. HOWEVER, this is where the annoying part occurs. Lets just say that the ZDMJ is left as "QAS Test Successful" as no further actions are perfomed for a while. In the mean time we then run an import to Pre Production (we have Dev>QAS>Pre Prod>Prod) via the tasklist (this is a job scheduled daily).
The original transport would then be picked up in this job and be imported to Pre Production (even though this doesn't match up with the status of the ZDMJ)!! Then the task list is changed to "Go Live" and the import to Production is ran via the tasklist.
Once again, the original transport is then imported to Production (even though the Change Document in ChaRM still states QAS Test Successful)!!!! The transport simply doesn't match up to the status of the ZDMJ.
Is this normal ChaRM funtionality or have we set something up incorrectly????
The way it's currently working is completely useless to us!!!!!!
Please help asap, REALLY appreciate it!!!!!
Thanks
Shaun
Edited by: Agent 009 on Dec 1, 2011 5:41 AM

So as it stands...
We can release the original transport at QAS test successful. However, this means our TMS job will automatically import this to QAS, then PreProd, then Production (even though the ChaRM status won't match this).
or
We can release the original transport at PreProd test successful. This means it will automatically import to QAS, PreProd and Production at the correct time. However, this means our 3rd tier (PreProd) is not being used at all as there is no transport being imported here for testing.
I also read the following: (from Transport of Copies (ToC): Small yet powerful concept)
Transport of copies option is available in each SAP system. This is a type of transport similar to customizing and workbench with its different behavior. Beauty with this type of transports is, it dies in the next target system. What does this mean??? Let's say I have three system landscape for my ECC system: DA1 -> QA1 -> PA1.
If you create a workbench request in DA1 system and release it, it goes to import buffer of QA1. Once imported in QA1, transport is now available in the import buffer of PA1 for import in PA1. But, if you create a Transport of Copy for the same transport in DA1 and release it, it will be in import queue of QA1. However, when you import this transport to QA1 it does not go to the import buffer of PA1.
Based on the above, it sounds like the TOC will only go to QAS (dies in target system).
Surely there's a way to get a TOC in PreProd? Or is there a better means of doing what we want.
Thanks again.

It is not necessary to assign the Transportation Planning to Delivery type. Only recently, I completed a similar configuration and running successfully for a client. The issue is because of your copy control VTFL. For more information, check note 713171.

On starting WebLogic getting Error : Listening for transport dt_socket at address: 8453 Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: vXmx512m

Hi,
system i am using for Oracle SOA is :
Windows 64 Bit
i5 Processor
6 GB RAM
29 GB on C Drive is already free after installation of all SOA related products.
I have installed wlserver_10.3 for SOA 11g Development purpose and followed exact installation sequence and procedure as mention in oracle documentation
i created domain also and every thing look correct but after installation procedure there are "Additional actions required just after every thing installed" :
setting memory limit
starting weblogic server (Admin Server)
starting weblogic managed server
and so on
now Problem is when i execute C:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\domains\soa_div_domain\bin startWebLogic.cmd
as mention in oracle documentation i am getting following error message : (i have only included last error lines instead of complete console log)

Could not find the main class: ++Xmx512m. Program will exit.
Now to resolve this what i already tried are :
I change JAVA_HOME and PATH to jdk6 which came with web logic installer
Location is at :
JAVA_HOME : C:\Oracle\Middleware\jdk160_29
PATH : C:\Oracle\Middleware\jdk160_29\bin
The above dose not include any space between path
I ran the startWebLogic.cmd and got same error
After that I also added
CLASSPATH : C:\Oracle\Middleware\jdk160_29\lib\tool.jar;C:\Oracle\Middleware\wlserver_10.3\server\lib\weblogic.jar;C:\Oracle\Middleware\jdk160_29\bin
WL_HOME: C:\Oracle\Middleware\wlserver_10.3
I ran the startWebLogic.cmd and got same error
I also used earlier path which I used with eclipse when I was working on other java development.
JAVA_HOME : C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_21
PATH : C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_21\bin
I ran the startWebLogic.cmd and got same error
Then I also gave PATH: C:\Oracle\Middleware\wlserver_10.3\server\lib      (including the existing one using ; )
I ran the startWebLogic.cmd and got same error
Now may be there is a file called setSOADomainEnv.cmd in
< C:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\domains\soa_div_domain\bin\ setSOADomainEnv.cmd>
That include some values for memory set :
set JAVA_OPTIONS=%JAVA_OPTIONS%
set DEFAULT_MEM_ARGS=-Xms512m –Xmx512m
set PORT_MEM_ARGS=-Xms512m –Xmx768m
if "%JAVA_VENDOR%" == "Oracle" goto OracleJVM
set DEFAULT_MEM_ARGS=%DEFAULT_MEM_ARGS% -XX:PermSize=128m -XX:MaxPermSize=768m
set PORT_MEM_ARGS=%PORT_MEM_ARGS% -XX:PermSize=256m -XX:MaxPermSize=768m
now as I change the red highlighted value to 512 value because I have less memory resource and I checked in installation documentation to change the above red highlighted value to 512 original is 1024 which is too high and it was crating problem and showing memory space problem so I change it to 512 and now I am not getting that memory space problem error but may be the above error is related with change value in setSOADomainEnv.cmd file or not
Following are my domain, weblogic and soa home directory path and all these path are exactly what it suppose to be according to Oracle Installation Documentation:
WebLogic :
C:\Oracle\Middleware\wlserver_10.3
C:\Oracle\Middleware\coherence_3.7
C:\Oracle\Middleware\oepe_11.1.1.8.0
SOA Oracle Home Directory :
C:\Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_SOA1
OSB Home Location :
C:\Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_OSB1
Domain name : soa_div_domain
Domain Location :       C:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\domains
Application Location : C:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\applications
Domain Location:        C:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\domains\soa_div_domain
form here i am trying to start weblogic : C:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\domains\soa_div_domain\bin\startWebLogic.cmd
Please tell me any body want more details.
Thanks.

I think you are missing a character '-'
USER_MEM_ARGS="Xms512m -Xmx512m -XX:MaxPermSize=128m"Add this character like follows
"-Xms512m -Xmx512m -XX:MaxPermSize=128m"

Configure Interface channel monitoring for PI in SOLMAN 7.1

Hi Experts,
I am configuring interface channel monitoring for PI in SOLMAN 7.1.In step 5 (Define scope) it is asking to select scenario.I can see all PI systems (Dev,QA and PRD) is listed in the table with "monitoring and alerting setup status" as yellow.when I select PI (prod) and proceed , in step 6.3 (Interface channel Monitoring config) I don't find any channel name in table.I need your support to clear my understanding on this.
1)My objective is to monitor all the interfaces that are existing between PI system and other SAP as well as non SAP systems (that include JDBC connections also).How can find all these interfaces in solman while doing Interface channel monitoring config?
2)I am not sure if I have understood correctly that I need to create scenario that includes technical systems between which Interface channel are to be monitored. If I am correct then how can I bring the technical system to SOLMAN SLD from Local SLD of PI(prod).Here I am not getting option to synchronize SOLMAN SLD from PI Local SLD. Even Import option is also not there. Do I need to create all the Technical systems (present in PI) to SOLMAN SLD manually?
If my understanding is not correct then please guide me through steps to do the configuration to achieve my objective.
Thanks
Aditya Roushan.

yes, the problem solved. thanks for your replies all.
the users SLDDSUSER and SLDAPIUSER got locked, I changed it in su01.
and I created rfc in SM59 for SAPSLDAPI and LCRSAPRFC and create the same in JCo RFC provider.
both are working.
but iam facing new problem.
I have solution manager 7.1 system and I configured local SLD. I did not connect any managed system as of now.
after all the trouble shooting, SLDAPICUST and SLDCHECK is fine but
the error is
"Functional call returned exception code 3"
"Access to XI Profile currently disrupted.
I have solution manager 7.1, I did not configure managed systems as of now. is this error belongs to solution manager 7.1 or for PI system.
can u please guide me how to trouble shoot this error. check the following screen shot for reference.
thanks in advance.

Portal Run time error when created a seperate role for Transport package.

Hi Experts,
I have created a seperate role for Transport Package(import/export iviews).
Normally we have transport package functionality in system admin.
Below steps i followed for creating the new role(trans admin)
1.Copied SAP provided system admin role to a seperate folder.
2.Deleted reamining portal objects(like UWL, portal display etc ..) except transport packege workset.
3.Renamed the role to trans admin.
I have assigned that role to my self, it is working fine to me when i clcik on export and import.I have super admin role.
when i assign this role to some portal users, Export is not working.
when user clicks on Export role they are getting below error.
Portal Runtime Error
An exception occurred while processing a request for :
iView : N/A
Component Name : N/A
Access denied (Object(s): com.sap.portal.system/security/sap.com/NetWeaver.Portal/medium_safety/com.sap.portal.appdesigner.contentcatalog/components/Framework).
Exception id: 12:10_31/08/09_0031_21763550
See the details for the exception ID in the log file
By looking into exception iD also, same error access denied it is showing.
Please Advice.
Thanks
Sony.

Hi Raghu,
Thanks for the reply.
I have given full permissions to all users to this trans admin role before itself.
Thanks in advance.

PO for transport and connection with price of the materials

Hi all,
I have a little problem here and I would appreciate any kind of
help and advice!
If I make one PO for goods to one vendor, and differend PO for
transport of goods to differend vendor how can I link this
second PO with the first in order to increase the price of the
materials? I cannot use the transport as a condition in the PO
for the goods, it is required to make second PO for the value of
transport. Also it is required to increase the value of the
materials with the price of the transport, so I can't just put
the transport in cost center.
Please, help! What can I do in this case?

There is no standard way.
Only way transport costs can be added is through 'Delivery condition types' in PO.
Through custom programs, try this:
1) Enter delivery condition type with minimum value (e.g. 1 USD or 1 INR).
Indicate the Freight PO no & Item in some field in PO (or in a Z-table to link the freight PO)
2) During MIRO (use INVOICE_UPDATE BADI), fill the values for freight condition from freight PO.
Best regards
Ramki
