CHARM managed system refresh

We have implement CHARM on our ECC landscape. And now the test system is going to be refreshed from production 1 month older.
From CHARM perspective - how do we accomplish this task ?
What the list of things that we need to do before and after refresh ?
Also, how will the transports be synced up?
What are the implication of a refresh or restore activity on CHARM ?

Hi,
I will do what was instructed by you.After doing so, what are the steps to check whether all the 3 system(dev,qty,prod) are having build with same objects.
Thanks,
Suresh.

In a two system landscape is it necessary to make development the domain controller always?
No such compulsion as such exist(correct me if wrong),however why you want to make production your domain controller?
This is not recommended.

ChaRM: testing portal managed systems

Currently, our managed system landscape for testing ChaRM (non-production) consists of 3 clients in an ECC sandbox to represent dev-test-prod, which takes care of testing ABAP systems as managed systems. I would like to be able to test portal systems as managed systems for our non-production SolMan system. Is there a better (read: cheaper) way to do so than needing to create 3 separate portal sandbox systems to transport between?
Thanks,
Michele

System refresh for solution manager

Hi All,
Do you think its possible to do a system refresh for solution manager?
Even though we do, wont there be a lot of inconsistencies between satellite system and with new solution manager?
Ideally i need do system refresh of X solution manager to Y solution manager
Thanks
Gopal

Hi,
How about the consistency between your two X and Y systems. Are they in single TMS. Requests properly transported from X to Y? If its positive, then go ahead you can make System Refresh..
Feel free to revert back.

Automatic creation of business partners in Solution Manager system in Charm

When I automatically create business partners in the Solution Manager system from the users in the satellite systems, they are created of type "Business Partner (Gen)" and they are not associated to the user with the same name id in the Solution Manager system, but they are connected to the remote users in the satellite systems. For this reason I change manually every business partner making it of type "employee" and connecting it to the user in the Solution Manager system. In this way I can use it like partner function. Is this the correct procedure to follow? If not, what do I have to do? Which is the correct way to generate business partners in the Solution Manager system from the users in the satellite systems?
Thanks
Antonello

Hi,
It is advisable to have the same login name for the satellite systems and SOLMAN user.
Business partner can be created thru tcode DSWP -> Select Solution -> Edit -> Create business partner.
You need to create a business partner only once by the above method, even if you have a number of satellite systems.
Once the BP is created , go to tcode BP -> select the business partner -- > In the Identification Tab, enter the systems which will be accessed by the user. Here you can also give the SLM system ID in addition to the other satellite systems.
The employee connection process which you do is correct

CHARM and System Copy (Database Copy)

Dear All,
Does anyone have experience on managing System Copy (Database Copy) on the SAP Landscape which are implementing Centralize CHARM on Solution Manager?
<b><u>Case:</u></b>
Transport route : DEV --> QAS --> PRD
CHARM centralize managed in: SLM.
Now, QAS will be refreshed from PRD (by Database Copy) .
How to ensure the following will be kept consistence:
1. IMG Status on satelite systems
2. SMI Project data linked to satelite systems
3. Support Desk data (Support/notification messages, Business
Partner,iBase,etc) related with CHARM linked to satelite systems
4. Status of SMI Project cycle data linked to satelite systems
I have tried it on Simulation landscape, seems many manually steps need to be done (eg. Redo all RFC definitions to the refreshed system) and some of above data are inconsistence ..
Thanks and regards,
Hery

Dear Hery,
Please refer to SAP Note 985692 "Copying a satellite system: Change
Management". This note provide all the required information.
I hope that it answers most of your queries as well.

Reconfiguring CHARM after System Migration

Hi,
We are going to migrate our existing Solman system to another system using system refresh, we have implemented CHARM which takes care of the Transport for our ECC and Portal Systems, my question is what needs to be done in the newly migrated system after the system refresh and what changes we need to make in our ECC System in order for CHARM to work in the newly migrated system.
Our landscape info
We have DEV,QA and Prod in our existing landscape with charm is configured in the Solman. Our Prod is the main domain controller and solman is the secondary domain controller, can some one explain me what needs to be done in the configuration after the system migration.

Hi,
Only hostname/ipaddress and SID name will be changed for solution manager. So for solution manager back RFC in ECC and EP systems you need to change hostname/ipaddress and instance number.
From SMSY try to update/read ECC and EP systems data. Check it is working fine or not.

Not find EWA Session in the managed system

Hi all,
I am configuring SOL 7.1 for EWA.
I have configured SDCCN both on Solution manager 7.1 and Managed System.
In the solution manager, i can find EWA session for managed system.
The question is : When i run "Refresh sessions" on the T-code: SDCCN of Managed system, it can not retrive EWA session where exist on the Solution manager.
How do i do? Can someone help, please.

Wu

after reconfiguration in new client,
Follow Note 727998 - Complete Replacement of Service Definitions for SDCC/SDCCN
step 1 :
in the solution manager:
1.1 run report BDL_DELETE_ALL_TABLES in SE38
1.2 SDCCN-> Goto -> Settings -> Task specific -> RFC destinations.
       Ensure that connection 'NONE' and SDCC_OSS is maintained, and that the 'master'
1.3 Execute a "service definition refresh" in SDCCN
1.4 Delete any task 'Maintenance Package' in the 'To do' tab in SDCCN.
1.5 Create a new periodic task 'Maintenance Package' in SDCCN
1.6 Call function module /BDL/_GENERATE_LOGFUNCINCLUDES in SE37
        Assign the value 'ALL' to the import parameter 'OPTION' (keep the default values for all other parameters) and execute the module.
1.7 Execute "refresh session" in SDCCN
step 2:
in the managed system:
1.1 run report BDL_DELETE_ALL_TABLES in SE38
1.2 SDCCN-> Goto -> Settings -> Task specific -> RFC destinations.
       Ensure that only connection SM_<SOL>_BACK' (delete SDCC_OSS )is maintained, and that the 'master'
1.3 Execute a "service definition refresh" in SDCCN
1.4 Delete any task 'Maintenance Package' in the 'To do' tab in SDCCN.
1.5 Create a new periodic task 'Maintenance Package' in SDCCN
1.6 Call function module /BDL/_GENERATE_LOGFUNCINCLUDES in SE37
        Assign the value 'ALL' to the import parameter 'OPTION' (keep the default values for all other parameters) and execute the module.
1.7 Execute "refresh session" in SDCCN

1 Solution Manager System - Mulitple Companies.

Hi All,
Please provide some input/information regarding one Solution Manager system with multiple companies.
Situation:
We currently have one Solution Manager system(SMP) that belongs to a main company. Under this company there are 5 separate companies. Each company including the main company has multiple SAP systems with different landscapes. Main Company - ECC6 landscape, BI 7.0, Portal, XI and HR Landscape. All other companies have their unique systems/landscapes with their own support personnel.
Issues at hand:
How do we setup Solution Manager to run multiple companies? Do we setup different Solution Landscapes and add each company systems to their own landscapes. How does this effect Service Desk/Charm setup ?
We also want to implement Service Desk / Charm / EWA and all the other functionality that is available in Solution Manager. Is there any advise on this issue and what are the potential pitfalls.
Is it possible to be setup multiple clients and have each company work in its own client.
I would appreciate any advice and information that will assist us with making an informed decision on the best way to proceed with this. I have done research and cannot find any information pertaining to this type of scenario. I'm hoping there are other customers that have a similar problem/issue.
Thanks and regards,
Ricky

Dear Ricky,
You are right. You sould create multiple solutions u2013 a solution for each company. Each solution comprises the landscape (systems) relevant.
I don't think setting up multiple clients and have each company work on its own client is a good idea. The solution manager supports monitoring and managing multipal solutions. By creating multiple clients you are loosing the advantage of one-point-of-entery. Besides, a lot of the customization in the SolMan is cross client.
Regarding the service desk:
You may create a sold-to-party business partner for each of the companies (transaction BP) and assign each sold-to-party only to the relevant system/iBase in transaction IB52. This will allow you to screen the messages in the service desk by a sold-to-party/company.
Regarding the EWA:
The EWA monitors the systems in the solutions. You may have as many solutions as you want.
Regarding the Charm:
Sorry, we didnu2019t implement it yetu2026 you should keep asking abour that.
If you would want to use Business Process Monitoring - this is solution based, so I don't see any problem there.
Hope it was helpful.
Good luck!

How to handle the CRM Middleware after system refresh?

Guys,
We are using CRM 5.0 & R/3 4.6C. We have the middleware configured and set up. We finished all inital loads & delta loads are activated as well. The system works perfectly.
Now for some reason the client wants to refresh the R/3 system. (Basically they are copying over the R/3 Dev system to refresh the R/3 Sandbox system. Our connection is currently between the 2 sand box systems) What impact will this have on the CRM system? Will it cause mass delta downloads? I have already referred to notes 588701 & 765018. Any additional information or watch outs will be appreciated.
Secondly what's the best practice do a refresh in the future? Is there a SAP recomendation on how to go about with system refresh when CRM & R/3 are connected?
ARP

Hello ARP,
as always: It depends what to do:
a) do you have a CRM DEV System available? If possible you should get the connection working over there and then do a Landscape Copy of the R/3 DEV + CRM DEV to the Sandbox Landscape.
b) Let them copy the R/3 DEV to the R/3 Sandbox. Then use the Data Integrety Manager (Transaction SDIMA) to get the missing Customers, Transactions exchanged.
In the future they normally have to do a Landscape Copy.

Understanding and using Logical Components for Managed System configuration

Experts.....
I am embarking on a fresh installation of SolMan 7 EhP1 SPS25 and after a few bugs along the way, I am finally nearing the end of including the first Managed System. Somewhat related to {forum:id=10293771] I am hoping I can get some advice, but specifically with regards to Logical Components.
General question - I have a slide from SAP that shows a picture from Product->System->Instance->Logical System (client)->Logical Component. I am confused because it shows that Client 100 of a given ABAP system could be assigned to Logical Component A, whereas Client 200 of the same system could be assigned to Logical Component B. This seems wrong to me?
I am at the last step of the managed systems configuration wizard : "create logical components" and only want to ensure that I set things up to hopefully ensure that later usages (Maintenance Optimizer, etc) will handle things correctly!!!
- Our SAP landscape is not very complex
1. only ERP and EP (Dev/Test/Prod).
2. We are utilizing HR Self Service (XSS).
3. The ERP ABAP systems are on Netweaver 7.01.
4. EhP4 has been installed, however we only activated the HCM business functions. Therefore SAP_HR is on 604 whereas SAP_APPL is on 600. I think this might be driving some of the confusion in SMSY
For the DEV ABAP system I am trying to configure:
1. The system is showing up in two products : "SAP ERP" and "SAP ERP Enhancement Package" with the header data for both showing "EHP4 FOR SAP ERP 6.0 / NW7.01" and "SAP ERP 6.0"
2. Under "SAP ERP" the "product instance selection" shows only "SAP NW - Adobe Docu. Service" and "SAP ECC Server" as relevant
3. Under ""SAP ERP Enhancement Package" the "product instance selection" shows only "Human Capital Mgmt" as relevant by default. I manually flagged the development portal system as "relevant" for "SAP XSS (Self Services)"
4. The RCA DBA Cockpit system is complaining "No data available for extractor activation. Please check product mapping and Software Components in SMSY"
5. In the Managed System wizard, there is no logical component for any of the "EHP4 FOR SAP ERP 6.0 / NW7.01" selections
From what I can tell, I think this is correct:
1. Create a Z_EHP4 logical component and assign the DEV/QAS/PRD systems to them
2. Also assign the DEV/QAS/PRD to the existing SAP logical component "SAP ERP ECC SERVER"???
3. For the Solutions, my plan is to create
a. Non-Production ERP : with the dev/test erp/ep systems, but test system as the leading system
b. Production ERP with the prod erp/ep systems only
Thanks for any advice/guidance to help me avoid future problems!!

General question - I have a slide from SAP that shows a picture from Product->System->Instance->Logical System (client)->Logical Component. I am confused because it shows that Client 100 of a given ABAP system could be assigned to Logical Component A, whereas Client 200 of the same system could be assigned to Logical Component B. This seems wrong to me?
Client 100 could be assigned to any number of logical components, client 200 could be assigned to those same ones or none of them. A logical component is just a grouping of systems used to accomplish some task in SolMan.
For example with ChaRM you could have 2 logical components.
ZCHARM_DEV development (100) -> QA (200) -> prod (300)
ZCHARM_SEC security (900) -> QA (200) -> prod(300)
One is used to show the path for moving development changes to prod, the other for security changes. 200 belongs to both, but 100 only to one.
Set them up in whatever way meets you needs. It looks like for you, you could just use the default one and assign your clients to the various system roles. Not all functionality in SolMan uses the logical components though.

Thanks in advance

Hi everyone,
Thanks everyone.
Guilherme, finally I understand what really happens. "Refresh" is not working properly in the Setup Wizard.
First I have done what I can:
System    Type      Managed Products                    Product Instances
DPI           ABAP     SAP Netweaver PI 7.1               Application Server ABAP (I could not select PI at the same time)
DPI           JAVA     SAP Netweaver PI 7.1               Application Server Java + Process Integration
But, when I refresh the browser Internet Explorer appears the following:
System    Type      Managed Products                    Product Instances
DPI           ABAP     SAP Netweaver PI 7.1               Application Server ABAP + Process Integration
DPI           JAVA     SAP Netweaver PI 7.1               Application Server Java + Process Integration
And then I do not get the error anymore. (I have to repeat step 2 in the wizard "Check Prerequisites for Diagnostics)
And If I run transaction SMSY, I can see how PI is mantained since the wizard refresh SMSY.
Product Instance Selection tab:
Application Server ABAP (Flag selected: relevant)
Process Integration (Flag selected: Also Installed, Technical System[ DPI, Java])
Application Server Java (Flag selected: relevant, Technical System[ DPI, Java])
So, if I use this configuration in the SMSY, when I run "solman_setup", configuring DPI (My PI7.1), when I run "Configure Diagnostics", the wizard shows ABAP + PI as expected.
Thanks a lot Guilherme!!

ChaRM config - system check error

Hi All ,
I am working with the basis team to move forward with ChaRM - Solution Manager. We have a two system landscape with Development (DSM) and Production (PSM) (domain is set up as DOMAIN_DSM - exists in STMS).
We have most of the configuration / system landscapes done . When we do the ChaRM check ( solar_project_admin--> select project --> system lanscape --> Change request --> check) for a project that involves system (DBW - BW Development and a different transport domain DOMAIN_DBW , does not exist in STMS for DSM) it comes up with a system error saying - No domain for system DBW.
It seems to be checking the tabel TMSCSYS for systems DBW and when it does not find it there it complains. The question is do we have to set up these system in STMS in solution manager ?
any help would be appreciated . if you want to send me a doc please do it at amohamm at yahoo
thanks.
ali.

The problem was solved by activating the domain links for the multiple domain scenario . Please make sure that you carry out this activity - " You must perform all TMS activities in your satellite systems and not in your SAP Solution Manager system " .

Archivelink u2013 System refresh

We are planning to refresh our SAP R/3 QA system with a copy of our PRD. For both systems we have a content server installed which are used for HR pictures etc but the links a created as archivelinks in R/3.
Do we need to do some kind of post activity for restoring the archive links after QA have refreshed with a copy forum PRD?

Hi.
Normally you will have no chance to load the pictures on newly copied QA-System from the "old" Content Management System.
Why?
The QAS documents are stored on the test content management system. Thats ok. They are linked to the sap items with entries in tables toa01, toa02, toa03 or toahr (in the testsystem). If you do the system copy you will loose these links...
So you have garbage in your link tables...
A clean way is to delete the files on the test content management system and the entries in the toa-tables (SAP). Or you can delete the R/3-Entries only. Or you can "copy" the data from the productive cms to the test system (but i've never heard about that).
You can try to delete the documents in sap via transaction oaad but i think you will be faster if you do it with a simple delete-statement.

martin
