ChaRM: switch back project implementation phase

Dear All,
is it possible for an implementation project to switch back the phase (for example from test to development or from golive to Emergency Correction)? Which are the contraindications?
Regards,
Bob

Hi Bob,
- technically nothing is blocking you from that
- functionally: you should just pay attention to what have been done in last phase before switching. As long as transport requests sequence is respected during import (meaning you use ChaRM for imports) there should nt be any contraindication
be aware that by checking table /tmwflow/tpphmac for phase model 'devrl' (that corresponds to implementation project) you ll know what is exactely allowed in each phase of your project type.
SAP Would not recommend changing values in this table though
Regards
Khalil

ECC 6.0 and BI Authorizations in Project Implementation Phase for Dev only

I ) ECC 6.0 Authorizations for Project Team
     I have browsed through SDN and gone through several documents and perhaps trying to post our senario as clearly as possible for better answers
Aim : 1) To give appropriate authorizations to
      a) Functional Consultants
      b) ABAP developers
      c) BI consultants
      in Development environment only on Customizing client,
      sandbox client and unit testing client
There is no inhouse security consultant in house at this time.
Type of Oragnization : Midsize
project Life cycle phase : Bluprint-Realization
Question1:
     What role and profile should I assign to functional consultants by preparing a role from the SAP standard role and what is the best way to restrict functional consultants from sensitive areas.
eg: Modifying SAP_ALL option and assigning it to functional consultants.
II.
BI 7.0 Authorizations for BI consultants in Development environment
Aim: 1) To give authorizations to BI 7.0 consultants (using only ABAP          stack)
Question: I have read through some forum and wiki answers in sdn and many explain that give SAP_ALL and SAP_NEW to BI consultants and in addition give 0bi_all, SAP_BW_DEVELOPER and much more.
    Can some body list what are the needed Roles for this kind of users ?
I know in theory many talk, do not assign SAP_ALL, but the person who advice this never explained the best alternative, and none of them I know have practially told that they have not assigned SAP_ALL.
Please explain . I think asnwering my question will bury many questions in this fourm .

Hi Nick,
Did you get the answer? I'm lookinf for the same information about profiles.
Thanks!!

CHARM during implementation phase possible?

Hi Gurus
I would like to know the constraints of implementing CHARM during the implementation phase of the project.
I am aware that, charm functionality is best suitable for post go live change tracking tool and it is not recommended during the implementation phase. But I would like to know the reasons behind not recommending CHARM during implementation phase.
Please provide your valuable inputs.
Thanks.

Hi,
The following may not be the detailed reasons behind not recommending CHARM during implementation phase.
Implementation Project u2013 A project to implement SAP solution as a part of regular implementation or a roll out. This is considered for single-site implementations. Predefined scenarios can be selected from template projects.
Change Request Management (ChaRM) is an SAP tool to manage all those activities performed between the design of a change and the final promotion to a productive system
ChaRM can:
o Improve efficiency and transparency of change management processes
o Minimize business disruptions
o Store documentation of implemented changes
o Track and monitor changes
o Improve audit process
o Reduce risk of correction and project failures
ChaRM benefits are:
o Allow the Organization to control and manage changes in the SAP system effectively
o Guarantee that any change to the SAP system follows the standard process flow and procedures with mandatory controls and documented steps
o Effectively adheres to requirements for SOX compliance
Please also go through [this|http://www.sap.com/community/webcast/2009_06_worldtour_fr/2009_06_Worldtour_SOL1_SAP_fr.pdf] document.
Hope it helps.

Can you switch back between CS5 and CS5.5 with the same project with Premiere??

Hey all,
I just got CS5.5 for Mac (Lion) and was wondering if i am able to save a project and open it with CS5 Premiere because I work with one other editor who has CS5. I have tested saving a project in CS5.5 and opening it in CS5 but it says that it needs to convert first but then it seems to work fine. So basically, is there workflow good between the 2? Any known issues or anything else i should know about when switching back and forth?
Also, I have the student edition of CS5.5 and was wondering how many times can I install it? I plan on buying a new computer in a few months from now but currently have 2 and was wondering if i should install it on both my current computers and then deactivate one and install it on my new computer in the future? Or is there a limit and that will not work?
Thanks!!

Because it has to create a new "version" of your project every time you go back and forth, you'll end up with umpteen versions if you go back and forth every time which could become a nightmare for you... And because it creates new "versions" every time, you're far more likely to end up with a corrupted file at some point... I'd stay away of going back and forth between versions...
As an aside, does anyone know if you can go back and forth between the same version (CS5.5) on different platforms (Mac/PC)? I may need to start doing that soon at work, and I've never tried...

Project duration as per implementation phases

Divide project duration as per implementation phases?

Dear Gopala Rao,
It actually depends on various factors, such as :
1. how many modules they want to implement.
2. Team Size.
3. Organizational Structure (Volume of data)
4. Legacy System
5. Business Complexity etc.
There is no hard and fast rule that every project should be completed in a particular duration of time. Depending on the above factors, it may vary any where from 6 months to 18 months or so. (Approximately, it may be less than 6 months or more than 18 months in some exceptional cases).
Usually it is divided into phases:
1. Project Preparation : Project team, infrastructure, Software, Steering committe etc will be identified in this phase.
2. Business Blue Print : Re-engineering of Business process and BBP sign off.
3. Realization : Analysing Gap and Realization of possible customization and development effort
4. Final Preparation and Go Live : Development and Configuration
5. Post Go Live support : Support after go live
You would allot specific time periods for each of these phases and will set milestones accordingly.
or it could even be like :
Project Start
Analysis
Design
Design Freeze / Client Sign-off
Construction
Testing
Implementation
Project End
Project Management Framework
Post Close Review
Training
Change Management
Refer following links for more info:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAP_Implementation
http://www.sapfans.com/sapfans/asap/be_01_e.htm
There are different flavors of project implementations.
1. Template implementation - without much customization - based on a predefined rollout template
2. CUstom rollout
3. Ramp up rollout
4. Enhancements to an existing implementation
5. project recovery
The project life cycle consists of [1] Project Charter,[2]Scope,[3] planning,[4]Execution,[5]Control and [6] closure.
Charter tells you the purpose of the project,for example,to eliminate an expensive Transmission process by implementing EDI.
Scope tells what all you will be doing in the project.In SAP,this is Blue printing.
planning:Here you plan the capital Expenditure - capital budgeting,Expenses,Revenue,Resources and other elements that go in to the project.
projectExecution : Actual execution of the planned activities
Control:Here you steer the project towards the intended goals-variance analysis,cost Reduction,Value engineering,budget,standards,fast tracking,crashing,Resource allocation etc etc ,....all find a role here.Here Time,Cost and the other resources are controlled so as to complete the project in time and within the cost baselines.
Testing also comes here-unit test,integration test,UAT........
Closure:The project sign off takes place here.
In the support Environment the "project" will cover a]incident management,b] problem management,c]change management,d]configuration management e] Release management and f] help desk.
Reward points if it is helpful.
Thanks and Regards,
Naveen.

Switching back and forth between 2 JFrames, rendering the other non-visable

This seems to be my last problem with this assignment thankfully, everything else is completed. As per topic description, My assignment is to create a calculator like the windows XP calculator. It must have a 'standard view' on start up and the option to switch to a scientific calculator and switch back and forth as needed.
As you most likely are aware the scientific calculator is approximately 1.3x the size of the standard calculator. I did look into CardLayout and TabLayout but from what I can gather these can't change sizes. I found this post: [http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=623561] Which is the same methods I had already tried. None of them worked.
Being this is my first experience with swing, I naturally followed my books design which was to extend JFrame and implement other classes. I feel this may be the wrong course of action now.
public class Calculator extends JFrame implements ActionListener,
            KeyListener, WindowListener
private JMenuBar menuBar;
private JMenu mEdit, mView, mHelp;
private JMenuItem copyItem, pasteItem, helpItem, aboutItem;
public Calculator()
    ... add(menu);
public JMenuBar createMenu()
    ButtonGroup group = new ButtonGroup();
    rbStandard = new JRadioButtonMenuItem("Standard");
    rbStandard.setSelected(true);
    group.add(rbStandard);
    mView.add(rbStandard);
    rbScientific = new JRadioButtonMenuItem("Scientific");
    rbScientific.addActionListener(this);
    group.add(rbScientific);
    mView.add(rbScientific);
    menuBar.add(mView);
    return menuBar;
@Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
    if (e.getActionCommand().equals("Standard"))
      if (! isStandard)
        if (this.isDisplayable())
          this.requestFocus();
          this.setVisible(true);
          rbStandard.setSelected(true);
          sc.setVisible(false);
          isStandard = true;
        else
          JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,
                    "Something is wrong this WILL NOT SHOW !!!\n",
                    "It's STUFFED!\n", JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);
    else if (e.getActionCommand().equals("Scientific"))
      if (isStandard)
        sc.setVisible(true);
        rbScientific.setSelected(true);
        this.setVisible(false);
        isStandard = false;
private class Scientific extends JFrame
    public Scientific()
      add(menuBar);
}Ok that is a very basic overview of what the class looks like, the Standard calc hides itself and goes into Scientific mode very well, however when trying to switch back to Standard nothing happens, as you can see from that Action method I have tried numerous things, including dispose(). I need the standard view to become the scientific view and change it's size. I have read a lot of the swing tutorials and I can not think how to do this. Keep in mind that when Standard calc switches to scientific it does not open a new window, the window simply morphs. (this happens at the same orientation to desktop as well).
2 questions:
1. Does anyone know how I can switch back to standard calc?
2. Should I redesign my project (which is currently sitting at 1200 lines and a single class(with inner classes)) and how?
What is a good way to design a swing application such as this? (or is having the class extend JFrame perfectly normal?)
Edited by: Gcampton on Sep 19, 2010 7:47 AM
Additionally, I forgot to mention, I use the menu bar already defined in standard calculator(outer class) inside my scientific(inner class), all the options within scientific mode work exactly as they do in standard. Except of course for switching back to standard. Also the boolean variable isStandard, is not the problem as I have tested without it. the "About Calculator" "Help Topics" "copy" "paste" menu buttons all work and perform the actions as implemented in the Standard Calculator actionPerformed(ActionEvent e), The scientific actionPerformed() method IS BLANK!!!
I was somewhat surprised at this, yet thankful as well. I didn't want to have so much repeat code in the inner class.

I shouldn't have been so quick to think I won't run into any more problems...
I've copied code straight from java tutorials [http://download.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/components/editorpane.html]
            JEditorPane editorPane = new JEditorPane();
            editorPane.setEditable(false);
            java.net.URL helpURL = About.class.getResource("Doc2.html");
            if (helpURL != null)
                try
                    editorPane.setPage(helpURL);
                catch (IOException e)
                    System.err.println(
                            "Attempted to read a bad URL: " + helpURL);
            else
                System.err.println(
                        "Couldn't find file: About.html");
            //Put the editor pane in a scroll pane.
            JScrollPane editorScrollPane = new JScrollPane(editorPane);
            editorScrollPane.setVerticalScrollBarPolicy(
                            JScrollPane.VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR_ALWAYS);
            editorScrollPane.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(250, 145));
            editorScrollPane.setMinimumSize(new Dimension(10, 10));
            return editorScrollPane;I have the html document in root eclipse folder, in bin and src. yet it does not display. I also have icons in my root folder and they display fine:
this.setIconImage(new ImageIcon("about.png").getImage());Is this way depreciated? or is there somewhere else I should have the document?

Exported iMovie in 16:9, but video is 4:3-can I switch back in iDVD?

I created a project in iMovie '11. I had inadvertantly kept it at a 16:9 ratio even though the file/video was 4:3. I then sent it to iDVD.
There, I have the option of making the project 4:3 or 16:9. If I put the project at 4:3, will it basically put the ratio back the way it is suppose to be on the video? Or will the file be a bit distorted and/or quality be compromised?
I was hoping, actually, to have at least the menu in 16:9 even though the video is 4:3 (ie, menu 16:9 and video 4:3). Is this possible? If it is, I'd assume I'd have to go back to iMovie and switch the project being published to 4:3.
So, my question boils down to no matter what, should I go back to iMovie and republish in 4:3, or does it not matter in iDVD as long as you set the project at 4:3? (I probably won't go through the hassle of republishing in 4:3 to get menu only at 16:9, but wanted to know for future reference if it is possible as I have many more DVD's to create.)

Lut,
Welcome to the forum.
What are the full specs. of your MOD, and M2v files?If you do not know exactly, you can use G-Spot, or MediaInfo, to gather that info.
That info might help pinpoint the issue.
Good luck,

In FCPX 10.1.2 how do you edit in proxy mode...and after you are done editing in proxy mode, how do you switch back to original media? I had no problems with old version but complicated with newer version.

In old version of FCPX I could easily edit in proxy mode which i found to be a quicker way of editing...all i did was goto preferences and click on playback tab and change it from original media to proxy...and i could go right into editing, and when i was finished before i would export my project i would switch back to original media...then i would export my project. Now i'm having a hard time accomplishing this on the newer version fcpx 10.1.2. Somebody please help me....thanks in advance!!!

Click the triangle at the top right of the viewer and choose proxy or optimized/original as appropriate.

Bw implementation phases

Hi gurus,
In a bw implementation project 5 phases are there.
As a bw consultant in that five phases what is our responcibilities.
points will be assigned.
Thanku

Hi Chinnu,
Phase 1: Upgrade Project Preparation -
The purpose of this phase is to provide initial planning and preparation for your R/3 upgrade project. Although each upgrade project has unique objectives, scope and priorities, the steps in Phase 1 help identify and plan the primary topics that must be considered.
Phase 2: Business Blueprint -
The purpose of this phase is to establish a common understanding in your company about how the new R/3 release will handle your current business processes after the R/3 upgrade.
Phase 3: Realization of DEV and QAS -
The purpose of this phase is to perform the upgrade of all non-production R/3 Systems, which normally include development (DEV) and quality assurance (QAS) systems, and to ensure the quality of this upgrade process by comprehensive testing. You need to upgrade your DEV and QAS systems before performing the upgrade for your production system (PRD). Furthermore, you will develop your end user documentation and training in this phase.
Phase 4: Realization of Production -
The purpose of this phase is to complete the final preparation for the upgrade of the production R/3 System, and end user training, if necessary. On the successful completion of this phase, you are ready to run your business in your upgraded production R/3 System.
Phase 5: Go Live and Support -
The purpose of this phase is the transition from your previous R/3 System to a newly upgraded and improved R/3 System. Be aware that you must set up an ongoing support organization to service your R/3 users, both during the first few days of your upgraded production operations, and on an ongoing basis.

Responsibilities of an implementation project...
For ex, Lets say If its a fresh implementation of BI or for that matter you are implementing SAP...
First and foremost will be your requirements gathering from the client. Depending upon the requirements you will creat a business blueprint of the project which is the entire process from the start to the end of an implementation...
After the blue print phase sign off we start off with the realization phase where the actual development happens... In our example after installing the necessary softwares, patches for BI we need to discuss with the end users who are going to use the system for inputs like how they want a report to look like and what are the Key Performance Indicators(KPI) for the reports etc., basically its a question and answer session with the business users... After collecting those informations the development happens in the development servers...
After the development comes to an end the same objects are tested in quality servers for any bugs, errors etc., When all the tests are done we move all the objects to the production environment and test it again whether everything works fine...
The Go-Live of the project happens where the actually postings happen from the users and reports are generated based on those inputs which will be available as an analytical report for the management to take decisions...
The responsibilites vary depending on the requirement... Initially the business analyst will interact with the end users/managers etc., then on the requirements the software consultants do the development, testers do the testing and finally the go-live happens...

Project Implementation

Hi folks,
can u please any one post the Project Implementation Life Cycle in Netweaver-Enterprise Portal?
Advance Thanks.....
Chandra

Hi,
   Realization phase is nothing but the deleopment phase. Development activities are carried out during this phase.
    Basis help is not needed extensively, but, they might be needed at times based on situations.
    BW installation will be done beforehand.
    Datasources will be determined during the design phase. (blue print phase)
Thanks,

Project implementation process and toll using for the implemetation

what r the steps involved in project implementaion

hi,
The ASAP methodology is recommended by SAP for implementation planning and system implementation. It has the following phases.
Project Preparation - The primary focus of Phase 1 is getting the project started, identifying team members and developing a high-level plan.
Business Blueprint - The primary focus of Phase 2 is to understand the business goals of the company and to determine the business requirements needed to support those goals.
Realization - The purpose of this phase is to implement all the business and process requirements based on the Business Blueprint. You customize the system step by step in two work packages, Baseline and Final configuration.
Final Preparation - The purpose of this phase is to complete testing, end-user training, system management and cut over activities. Critical open issues are resolved. Upon the successful completion of this phase, you will be ready to run your business in your productive R/3 system.
Go Live and Support - Transition from a project oriented, pre-productive environment to a successful and live productive operation.
Def:The Accelarated SAP is the implementation solution provided by SAPwhich integrates several components that works in conjunction to support the rapid and efficient implementation of the PROJECT.

CHARM Normal Change Project Cycle empty

Hi Gurus,
We are facing an issue in Normal Change in CHARM. The Project cycle and current phase is empty (not auto populated) when we select Normal Change in Scope assignment block. It is working fine for Urgent changes. We have only one project active for both urgent and normal changes. Normal change works fine in CHARM development system. Can anyone please help me getting this fixed ?
Current "phase is Development with Release". We are using Normal Change for the first time in production.

Hi,
Please see the screenshots of task list and project cycle (in web ui). We never closed our project cycle till now. We use Urgent changes regularly but our plan is to roll out normal changes now. Also, I noticed we have different number range mapped for normal change in production but not in development. Does that causes this issue ?

Roles in Project preparation phase ?

hii
Some body explain me on their real time exeperiance of 1st phase implementation.??
What will be the major roles and reponsibilities of MM consultant in 1st and second phase ???
How we should do the AS-IS study in client place ????
Some body explain me in depth and detailed of their own experiance in implementation project.
And additionally ,as MM consultant where we shlould not be lack of knowledge for any implementationss??
Thanks

In project preparation phase, all the details of the projects are set, who will be the project manager from implementors side and from client side, then the whole team is selected of both sides, some times there are interviews of consultants as well from the client, where client desides which consultants they want for there implementation.
Then usually sign up of the project is done and sometimes presentation on every module is given as well if sign up and project start has big difference in dates.
Then in blueprint phase, for AS-IS, you MM consultant and powerusers from client sit down and you jott down all the current settings of the client, here its decides and researched how there current system is configured, and what necessary settings are required for SAP i.e. how many plants, how many purchase organisations,groups, how many material groups, what number ranges master record will follow, how many document types for PR,PO,contract, which additional processes are required i.e. Framework order, source lists, which type of mrp, subcontract, consigment process etc.
Once you get all the data in AS-IS, you create blueprint based on this information which will contain every info, i.e. how many plants will be created, what numbers, how many storage locations with names and numbers for each plant, how many purchase organisation with details, purchase groups, document types of prs, pos, with number ranges, release strategy, and total process flow in this documentation and what can and what cant be configured in SAP, thus the TO BE stage. Here client views your document and if there are any reservations they are pointed out, if any deletion addition is needed to the document they are notified to the consultants, necessary changes are made to the blueprint and this up/down in changes keeps on going, until the blueprint is signed.
Same above described process happens for all other modules as well, and once all module blueprints are signed, then begins the realization phase. Usually the blueprint phase in 6 months implementation last for 2 months.

There is Hard & Fast rule that all project go exactly,This depends up on clients also and they should provide the information and depends up on them also
