CHARM on solman7.1

Experts:
At Solman7.0, I used
http://scn.sap.com/people/dolores.correa/blog/2008/07/26/first-steps-to-work-with-change-request-management-scenario
and the same author's related blogs to configure CHARM successfully.
Now on Solman7.1, may I use the same blogs to configure CHARM?
We do not have Solman7.1 yet but it's planned for 2014 1Q.
We have 2 scenarios:
1) if we upgrade from Solman7.0 to Solman7.1, can we simply adjust current
CHARM configuration to make it work?
2) if we install Solman7.1 on a new box, can above Dolores Correa's
blogs be used to configure CHARM ?
Thanks!

Issue in generation of Change Document - ChaRM

Dear All,
We are implementing ChaRM, I have copied the standard transaction type to z.
I am able to create request for change with transaction type zmcr but when the normal change or urgent change document are created they have standard transaction type.
I have made the changes in SPRO (Defining copy control of transaction type) but still document are getting generated with standard transaction type.
Please attached document of copying control.
Thanks in advance

Sushant

I have removed zmcr - smmj but now the change document is not getting generated. Please see the screen shot attached.

Logical systems while implementing charm in solution manager

Hello Everybody,
I just wanted to know how many logical systems we need while implementing charm in solution manager 7.0. I have 3 clients in development , 3 clients in Quality and 1 client in production.
Thank you,
vikram.

Hi Vikram,
Yes, i1n ChaRM we always work with logical systems, I mean clients.
The standard is:
DEV -> QAS -> PRD
However, you can also use:
- Minimum
DEV -> PRD
- Target groups
DEV -> QAS -> PRD
- > TST
DEV -> QA1 -> QA2 -> PRD
DEV -> QA1 -> PR1
-> QA2 -> PR2
There are a lot of combination possible.

Mails not triggering in CHARM

Hi Experts,
I have configured Solution Manager 4.0 for CHARM. It is working fine. My requirement is that, it should trigger mail whenever support team changes.
Initally, I defined a action to trigger mail once whenever a support team is assigned. It worked fine. But the problem with this setting is that, whenever I change support team, it is not triggering a mail and this is understood because I configured to trigger once only. So, I changed the setting of action to "unprocessed", it starts triggering mails whenever I change the support team.
Now Issue is that, it is also triggering the mail to support team whenever the transaction is saved (Ex: When I create change document for a support message, transaction saves automatically) even though support message is not changed. This leads to unnecessary mails.
In order to avoid unnecessary mails, I deleted the existing action and created a new one wherein start condition was not maintained but maintained setting under scheduled condition as per SAP note 865619 and implemented BADI also.
Now I am not getting a single mail whenever a support team is assigned or changed.
Any suggestion please provide.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Kumar

Hi Kumar,
This can be done very well.
For this you can implement the BADI ORDER_SAVE, method CHECK_BEFORE_SAVE.
In this method you write a code as mentioned below,
1. Use FM
WA_HEADER = IV_GUID.
Insert wa_header into table lt_header.
CALL FUNCTION 'CRM_ORDER_READ'
   EXPORTING
     IT_HEADER_GUID                = lt_HEADER
      IT_ITEM_GUID                  =
   IMPORTING
     ET_CUSTOMER_H                  = lt_customer_h
     ET_ORDERADM_H                  = lt_orderadm_h
      ET_OPPORT_H                   =
      ET_PARTNER                    = lt_partner
      ET_STATUS                     = It_status
      ET_REFOBJ                     = lt_CRMT_refobj_WRKT
       ET_SUBJECT                    = lt_CRMT_SUBJECT_WRKT
   EXCEPTIONS
     DOCUMENT_NOT_FOUND            = 1
     ERROR_OCCURRED                = 2
     DOCUMENT_LOCKED               = 3
     NO_CHANGE_AUTHORITY           = 4
     NO_DISPLAY_AUTHORITY          = 5
     NO_CHANGE_ALLOWED             = 6
     OTHERS                        = 7
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
    MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
            WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
ENDIF.
2. You will get the Business Partners entered on the screen in the internal table lt_partner, read the address number1 for the partner function of the support team.
3. Get the contents from view CRMV_LINKPARTNER using the LV_GUID. And get the address number2 for partner function of the support team.
4. Compare the address number2 & address number1. If they are not equal then trigger a mail else don't.
Let me know if you need some more help.
Reward if it helps.

mahantesh

Using ChaRM to register objects in Marketplace

Hello,
We want to control what changes are done to SAP standard workbench objects, using ChaRM, so that for example every time a program needs to be registered to make customer modifications in the marketplace we can do it using a ticket from ChaRM. Then we can have an approval process and a total traceability.
Is that possible? Is there any alternative way to have that controlled in Solution Manager?
I appreciate your comments.
Regards
Esteban

Hi Prakhar,
Thanks for your answer. However the issue is a bit different. Customer found that they want to make a modification in a standard code because of business needs. So, they need to access to the marketplace to register that object. No incident was created in Service Desk, no notes from SAP. We want to have a Change Request and a Change Document to control the modifications and registration of this object. However I did not found any action in ChaRM Change Document that allows me to access marketplace and keep track of this registration in the change document.
Do you have any idea?
Many thanks
Esteban

ChaRM class java.io.IOException:The file does not exist on the filesystem

Hi All,
We are implementing ChaRM with Portal. While deploying we are running into following issue.
Deployable-Id:/usr/sap/trans/data/GPSK90001B/sktp14_20100806_095633.epa
Returncode:'12'
class java.io.IOException:The file (/usr/sap/trans/data/GPSK90001B/sktp14_20100806_095633.epa) does not exist on the filesystem.
Any suggestion.

We resolved this issue by sharing the trans file across SolMan and Portal system.

ChaRM Allowing Multiple Users in the Same CD to be in Edit Mode

We have upgraded to ChaRM 7.1 but are still using CRMD_ORDER and Transaction Monitor CRM_DNO_MONITOR. When the Developer completes her change, populates the Current Processor with the Change Manager and clicks Save she keeps the CD open in Edit Mode. The Change Manager is able to open the same CD and click Edit without any warning on the bottom of the window saying it is being processed by another user.
When there is a hand off to the next Current Processor, both the previous and current user are able to be in edit mode. I don't recall this being allowed before. Has this changed with 7.1?

I have a global temp table (GTT) defined with 'on commit preserve rows'. This table is accessed via a web page using ASP.NET. The application was designed so that every one that accessed the web page could only see their data in the GTT.
We have just realized that the GTT doesn't appear to be empty as new web users use the application. I believe it has something to do with how ASP is connecting to the database. I only see one entry in the V$SESSION view even when multiple users are using the web page. I believe this single V$SESSION entry is causing only one GTT to be available at a time. Each user is inserting into / selecting out of the same GTT and their results are wrong.
I'm the back end Oracle developer at this place and I'm having difficulty translating this issue to the front end ASP team. When this web page is accessed, I need it to start a new session, not reuse an existing session. I want to keep the same connection, but just start a new session... Now I'm losing it.. Like I said, I'm the back end guy and all this web/connection/pooling front end stuff is magic to me.
The GTT isn't going to work unless we get new sessions. How do we do this?
Thanks!You may want to try changing your GTT to 'ON COMMIT DELETE ROWS' and have the .Net app use a transaction object.
We had a similar problem and I found help in the following thread:
Re: Global temp table problem w/ODP?
All the best.

Transport request deleted - how can I delete the link in CharM ticket?

Hi everyone,
yesterday, I manually deleted an empty transport request in the development system. Bad idea, I know, because now, I get errors in the CharM ticket, because it still has a link to the transport request, which has been deleted.
How can I get rid of the broken link in the CharM ticket?
Thanks in advance,
Ben

hi
Please check if you can decouple transport request using charm
also if you can let us know what kind of error in charm ticket will be helpful

How to setup Charms in a 2 tier landscape ?

Hi All,
We have a two tier landscape i.e only having development and production system so how to setup STMS and all other settings in this type of scenario.
Can we use Virtual system in STMS as a Quality system ? If yes then please guide us and tell me how to proceed as if we dont know how to add virtual system in SMSY in solman. Please provide us with a clear picture and give us detail documentation if possible.

Hi All,
Please tell me as per the SAP standard recommendation is it necessary to have a cycle like DEV->QUAL-PROD for Charms as we are not having any Quality system or Client here in our landscape.
Please suggest a way how to proceed in this case. Please help me out.

Windows 8.1 Charms not Showing when moving mouse cursor into corners (Hot Corners)

I'm running Windows 8.1 Update 1 and recently my charms bars no longer display if I move the mouse cursor into the corners of the screen. However, if I press the shortcuts e.g. Win-C the bars do show.
I've check under PC Settings > PC and devices > Corners and Edges and also Taskbar > properties > Navigation and in both places both of the options under 'Corner Navigation' are enabled.

Hi,
Please re-register the Windows immersive control panel to check the result:
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register $Env:SystemRoot\ImmersiveControlPanel\AppxManifest.xml
Or you can set a registry to enable charm hint:
Open registry, navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ImmersiveShell\
Under ImmersiveShell key, create a new key EdgeUI.
Now select newly created key "EdgeUI" and in right-side pane, create a new DWORD DisableCharmsHint and set its value to 0.
If all methods cannot work, try to use dism command to perform an online fix:
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

I bought a brand new Mac 27" desktop that came loaded with Adobe CS6. Everything worked like a charm until the hard drive, 1Tb, developed a bad sector and the Apple Store reinstalled a new one as I had extended warranty with them. They recycled the drive immediately (like a fool I didn't ask for it back to get the data off it.) But luckily I have all my data on CrashPlan. I downloaded it and it worked great except I downloaded it to the desktop and not the original location so it got squirrely. I also have an external 1.5Tb drive that I wanted to make bootable so I installed Mavericks 10.9.3 . I then went ahead and installed it on the newly installed drive too.
I think that because I have a new drive Adobe thinks I have a news computer. I bought the 27" Mac brand new from Ebay and it came loaded with software, including CS6. I have a serial number for CS6 but Adobe said it wasn't valid. (I have owned CS2, CS4 and now CS6 which came preloaded onto the Mac by the seller who told me that the software was registered to the Mac???
I am going to re-download the backup but this time to the original location (I still don't think it will work with Adobe. What can I do about this?
iMac 27-inch, Late 2012
Processor 3.2 GHz Intel Core i5

You need to contact Adobe Support either by chat or via phone when you have serial number and activation issues.

Migrating Transports via CHaRM to the same system more than once

Good Day;
Does anyone know if CHaRM has the capabilities to migrate transports (within a maintenance cycle) to the same system multiple times?
Let me explain.
When we move a maintenance cycle (release) through our landscape we move from;
Development system - Quality system - Volume system. Then to production
UAT is being done in both the quality system and the volume system.
Once all testing is complete, we refresh the volume system with a fresh copy of the production system and re-import all the transports. This is to allow our BASIS team to do regression (batch) and load testing.
Is there a way to use CHaRM to migrate the transports or is this something that needs to be done manually (as it is today).
Thanks All,
Regards
Don Newton

Hi Umesh,
Please confirm your problem by as issue with the trusted system, check the link below
[Trouble trusted system|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/8b/0010519daef443ab06d38d7ade26f4/content.htm]
No authorization to log on as a trusted system (trusted RC = <0 1 2 3>).
Here, the trusted return codes ( = 0, 1, 2 or 3 ) have the following meanings:
1   Calling system is not a trusted system, or security
     ID for the system is invalid.
     Solution: Create (again) the trusted system (see above).
as of in trusted system, you supposed to get the same user in both the systemm witht the respected access like S_RFCACL.
complete explanation of trusted RFCs is in note 128447.Please follow the note

CHARM Roles in Satellite System

Hi,
Can anybody tell me exactly on CHARM roles in Solman 7.0 EHP1.
I am totally confused which roles i have to assign to Change Manager, IT operator, Tester, Developer & Requester.
In Solman which roles I have to assign & in Satellite system R/3 which roles to assign.
Currently I have assigned following Roles in Solman.
Change Manager
ZO_BC_SOCM_CHANGE_MANAGER
ZO_BC_CHANGEMAN_ADMIN
ZO_BC_CHANGEMAN_OPERATOR
ZO_BC_SOCM_CREATE
ZO_BC_SOCM_DISPLAY
ZO_BC_SOCM_PRODUCTION_MANAGER
ZO_BC_TRUSTED-RFC
IT Operator /Basis
ZO_BC_SOCM_IT_OPERATOR
ZO_BC_TRANSPORT
ZO_BC_SOCM_ADMIN
ZO_BC_CM_SMAN_ADMINISTRATOR
ZO_BC_TRUSTED-RFC
Developer
ZO_BC_SOCM_DEVELOPER
ZO_BC_CM_SMAN_DEVELOPER
ZO_BC_TRUSTED-RFC
Tester
ZO_BC_SOCM_TESTER
ZO_BC_TRUSTED-RFC
Can anybody tell whether above assignment is correct.
In Satellite system which roles I need to assign.
Regards
PK

Roles required for developer, tester and chagne manager in Solution manager in solution manager are as follow.
Developer
SAP_CM_DEVELOPER_COMP(composite role)
     SAP_CM_SMAN_DEVELOPER
     SAP_SOCM_DEVELOPER
SAP_SOCM_REQUESTER
tester
SAP_S_RFCACL (for RFC)
SAP_CM_TESTER_COMP(composite role)
     SAP_CM_SMAN_TESTER
     SAP_SOCM_TESTER
change manager
SAP_CM_ADMINISTRATOR_COMP (composite role)
     SAP_CM_SMAN_ADMINISTRATOR
     SAP_CPR_PROJECT_ADMINISTRATOR
     SAP_CPR_USER
     SAP_SOCM_ADMIN
SAP_CM_CHANGE_MANAGER_COMP (composite role)
     SAP_CM_SMAN_CHANGE_MANAGER
     SAP_SOCM_CHANGE_MANAGER
But you have to assign some object authorization to these standard roles.
mainly you have to provide authorization for these objects S_TCODE, B_USERSTAT, S_OC_ROLE, CRM_ORD_OP etc.
You can assign sap_all, sap_new to your user(developer, tester, change manager etc) and can set a trace from st01 on that perticaular user and then try to execute anything which you want. Then you can check for the objects in the trace and can authorize user for those object.
