ChaRM: usage of ChaRM and none-Charm transport strategy

Hi ChaRM-TMS Gurus!
We have the following [SAP system landscape |http://www.file-upload.net/view-1086963/SDN_TMS_Ist_Soll.jpg.html] and would like to use ChaRM approach simultaneously.
What are the minimal requirements concerning transport layers/routes, which settings should be changed?
How much and which transport layer/routes does ChaRM need?
a) 1 any new transport layer/route
b) standard transport layer, transport layer "SAP" and others
Should all the standard transport layer/routes from virtual systems to real QAS and PRD systems or can I start as follows:
1) Leave the current TMS settings unchanged
2) Activate the extended transport control
Result: the current setting will be client specific and all the old transport requests will be moved to client specific transport routes
3) change the transport strategy (from mass transport to single transport)
3) Define new transport layer
4) Define new transport route for SAP objects from DEV to QAS
and assign the transport layer from 3) (client specific)
5) Define new transport route ZXXX from DEV to QAS
and assign the transport layer from 3) (client specific)
6) Define the delivery transport route from QAS to PRD (client specific)
7) activate and distribute the settings
Thank you very much indeed!

Hi Martin,
Solmaniacs' assumptions are correct. You can have as many source clients as you want.
As long as
- STMS configuration (transport routes, and domain links) are consistent
- SMSY configuration (logical components are declared properly with assigning the right role types to systems/clients)
- Project declaration are done correctly (so that from Solman solar_project_admin you can read the STMS as confiured in the distant STMS domain)
- IMPORTANT: those configuration GO ALONG with each other !! (SMSY should nt contradict STMS for example...)
The tasklist that is generated for each Solman project will be as follow
- Node 1: Header Tasks (commun to all systems)
- Node x: Corresponding to track x declared in Project (each Source System will have his own node with the corresponding track under)
- Node x+1
- Node ...
- Last Node : Tasks for Tasklist closure - checks on scma consistancy and CTS projects closure
So you'll always have n+2 nodes in your tasklist; n beeing the number of declared source (=dev) systems in project
For each action launched from change docuemnts like creation of TR, release of TR or Retrofit (as Solmaniac said) you'll have an additional pop-up that will appears letting you choose the system you want to use for the action
Hope its helpful

ChaRM: Transport strategy

Hi!
We have the following system landscape:
EO1 --> QO2 --> VO2
EO1 --> VO3
VO2 and VO3 are both the virtual systems.
Between EO1 and VO3 and Q02 and VO2 we have a lot of transport routes (SAP, YABK, ZEO1, .., ZIAN).
Now we would like to use ChaRM approach with new client specific transport routes (EO1 --> QO2 --> PO1) as well as leave the old TMS settings unchanged.
The questions we have:
1) Do we need standard transport route u201CSAPu201D for the ChaRM approach?
2) Can we leave the old TMS configuration for old requests, but use ChaRM with new configuration?
Thank you very much!
regards
Thom

Thom,
1) The suggestions I see:
    a. create a Transport Group which contains your VO3 and QAS system and create the necessary transport routes to this group. If you now setup your project for ChaRM and only specify the real systems, SolMan will recognize the correct systems (even though it will give you a full overview of STMS when clicking the button 'Shipment Routes' in the System Landscape of the project - once the Task List is created, you'll see ChaRM only mentiones the systems you've added in the System Landscape). The disadvantage of this is that all Transport Requests you release in your DEV system will be added to the import queue of QAS and VO3. This is of course only a disadvantage if both systems don't need to receive the same changes.
   b. Not 100% sure if this is technically possible. Create separate consolidation routes for VO3 and QAS from DEV. Again when you specify the correct systems in the project, SolMan will use only those.
As far as I know, ChaRM doesn't make a choice based on type of transport route, such as 'SAP'.
2) a. I know 'single transport' is recommended by SAP, but this is not a showstopper for the configuration of ChaRM. ChaRM also works with 'mass transport'.
    b. ChaRM needs to be client-specific, can be that here there is some interference between ChaRM and non-ChaRM.
    c. As ChaRM corrections are all assigned to a Maintenance Cycle and a Maintenance Cycle is based on a CTS project in your DEV satellite system; SolMan is in complete control of your Transport Request. What I mean with this is that if you do automatic import on your systems, only your non-ChaRM changes will be imported. Because by default ChaRM changes all status switches of the CTS project to 'inactive'. From the moment you trigger the import from a Transport Request out of ChaRM in Solution Manager; only then the necessary status switch will be activated and it will be possible to import a change into your satellite system. Periodic import of ChaRM changes is also possible, but has to be scheduled using the correct Task List out of SolMan.
You can look and change these status switches manually in your satellite system with TA SPRO_ADMIN, select the correct project and navigate to tab Transport Request. Here is a button 'CTS Status Switches'.
Hope this helps you a little further!
Good luck and let me know if you have any more questions...

ChaRM: usage of several transport layers in different maintenance projects

Hi!
I have heared on SAP TechED about the following possibility:
it should be possible to have several maintenance projects with different standard transport layers.
Can some one of you confirm or reject this statement?
Our problem is we work in same client in DEV system and transport in same client in QAS system and have several transport layers. All of them should be used by ChaRM.
Other question:
which new functions will be come with SPS 18 in ChaRM?
Thank you very much!
Holger Thomasson

Hi
Sorry for my ignorance but the Transport/Routes/Layer are releated to the Development Class.. and ChaRM dont take in count this...
At the end you have 3 Development Clients...100/200/300..you need to create 3 project..

Import process not started in CHARM 7.1 when there is empty transport

Hi all,
We have this issue when using CHARM in Solman 7.1 to import transports for Urgent Change documents (ZMHF).
When we import 2 transports (1 released Workbench and 1 unreleased empty transport) to the ECC QA system, the system returned with error "Not all transports yet released". The Task List log displyed that releasing process was completed ok, but the import process was not started.
We had this issue after we applied Support Pack (EHP6) to our ECC QA system.
Prior to the upgrade, the releasing and import process are ok even there is empty transport. The system will just delete the empty transport when we use the action "Pass Urgent Change to Test".
Has anyone have any idea about this issue?
Thanks,
Tess

HI Tess,
What is the SP version of SAP Solution manager 7.1 system.
Normally subtask only needs to release in TR, once the click the "pass change to test"
https://websmp208.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700000478212011E/index.htm
Action :
CLEAR_EMPTY - This action will delete the empty TR in the change document.
RELEASE_REQU - it will release the TR
IMPORT_TEST - Start importing in the QAS
Please update the ChaRM master note in the system and try iy.
Also check the action log and post it.

CharM questions (mix Transport strategy)

Hi ChaRM-experts!
I plan to map the existing transport landscape into ChaRM scenario of SOLMAN and have the following questions:
1) Is it possible to combine ChaRM-functionality and still use the old transport settings (without ChaRM) for the same system landscape:
DEV --> QAS --> VO1 (Without ChaRM and with virtual system)
DEV:101 --> QAS:101 --> PRD:101 (With SOLMAN ChaRM)
Can e.g. the target group concept help in this situation?
2) Is it possible, after the CharM implementation, to allow the developers create transports in DEV system?
Thank you very much!

Mass transport strategy but satellite system is configured for ChaRM

We want that all transports are automatically transported in the development test client.
We have calling a job with program TMS_BCI_START_SERVICE in the satellite system. But this program can only be used for mass transports and does not work when single transports strategy is activated.
Question:
Is there no solution to transport all this transports automatically in development test client via mass transport strategy if satellite system is configured for ChaRM scenario?
Thanks a lot in advance.

Unicode and Non-Unicode Instances in one Transport Landscape

We have a 4.7 landscape that includes a shared global development system supporting two regional landscapes. The shared global development system is used for all ABAP/Workbench activity and for global customization used by both regional production systems. The two regional landscapes include primarily three instances - Regional Configuration, Quality Assurance, and Production. The transport landscape includes all systems with transport routes for global and regional.
A conversion to unicode is also being planned for the global development and one regional landscape. It is possible that we will not convert the other regional landscape due to pending discussions on consolidation. This means one of the regional landscapes will be receiving global transports from a unicode-based system.
All information I've located implies no actual technical constraints. Make sure you have the right R3trans versions, don't use non-Latin_1 languages, etc. Basic caveats for a heterogenous environment ....
Is anyone currently supporting a complete, productive landscape that includes unicode and non-unicode systems? If so, any issues or problems encountered with transports across the systems? (insignificant or significant)
Information on actual experiences will be greatly appreciated ....
Many thanks in advance.

Hi Laura,
Although i do not have the live / practical experience, but this is what i can share.
I have been working on a Non-Unicode to Unicode conversion project. While we were in the discussion phase there was one such possibility of a scenario that part of the landscapes would remain non-unicode. So based on the research i did by reading and directly interacting with some excellent SPA consultants, i came to know there are absolutely no issues in transporting ABAP programs from a Unicode system to non-unicode system. In a Unicode system the ABAP code has already been checked and rectified for higher syntax checks and these are downward compatible with the ABAP code on lower ABAP versions and non-unicode systems. Hence i beleive there should not be any issues, however as i mentioned this is not from practical experience.
Thanks.

Workflow Approval for CTS+ for NON ABAP Transport

Hi
We have a NW Portal system currently using CTS+ for transport.
We would like to incorporate a workflow approval for transport across the different landscape (DEV -> TEST -> QA -> PRD) with CTS+. The workflow approval would work in such a way that when someone approves a transport request from DEV->TEST, the Basis Admin will then perform the import to TEST. So this approval will also be needed from TEST -> QA and QA -> PRD.
Does Solution Manager provide such workflow approval for NON ABAP transport?
I do hope anyone has such experience to share.
Thanks.
Regards
mike

Hi Mike
Yes solution Manager CHARMS or Change request managment functionality uses CTS+ to move the Non ABAP requests
it uses IBASE as identifier for systems and for more can search sdn
check this link too

JAX-RPC And Non-Java Web Service

Hi,
This is a total shot in the dark. I'm attempting to consume an RPC web service developed in Delphi. I've created a JAX-RPC client in NetBeans from the published WSDL, attached below. I've created calls to several of the procedures available. What's bizarre, at least to me, is that half of them work fine and half of them don't. In all cases where they don't I'm getting a returns SOAP envelope indicated an access violation, attached below. There are no errors in any of the server logs and the developer assures me that the procedures do, in fact, work from his client (also developed conveniently enough in Delphi).
I'm willing to take him at face value for the moment and assume that the problem is in my client implementation, although I have no idea where it would lie. The only difference I've been able to gather between the features which work and those that don't is the size of the return package...it would most likely be much larger than the ones that don't work.
The service is an ISAPI dll running under IIS on Windows Server 2003. Any clues or guidance anyone would be willing to provide would be most welcome. On to the files:
There wasn't enough room to post the entire thing so I've included one working (CheckStock) and non-working (GetLibTrace) function.

Development of Form for Returnable and Non-returnable material Gate pass

Dear Experts,
I am working with an Indian client impementing SAP PM. I need help in developing a form for Returnable and Non Returnable Gatepass. Requirements are below;
RGP/NRGP should be made for all materials going out of the factory, irrespective of it being coded or not
It should be plant specific
It should have reference to material movement document for tracking purpose
It should have details of vendor, transport company, vehicle number, permits if required, etc
A Z report should give details of all RGP/NRGP based on material document number and date
Please guide me based on your experience.
Thanks,
Boby

Boby,
This can be met. But before developing this, have you implemented the refurbishment process of PM module? This will really help in tracking the equipment and also for the development of RGP/NRGP.
First you have to create a form for the gate pass and have to create an enhancement in MIGO for triggering the RGP/NRGP, else you can also create a separate Z transaction code for printing the Gate pass. You will get all the fields like vendor, material, QTY, movement type from the MIGO GI document.
For the gate pass the MIGO document will be the reference all the times, you can also develop a Z report for the records for the gate pass.
Regards,
Praveen

I did a backup from all my files saved in old external hd to time capsule. After that double checked and recover one file from TC to mac air and it worked just perfect. Today went through TC to recover another file and none of them were there?

It's good for that . . .

But not for that.
This older and not day-by-day usage files I want to store in the time machine.
You can do that (see below), but how are you going to back them up? If your only copies are on the TC, when (not if) it fails, you risk losing your only copy of the data.
Is it possible to split TC in two partitions.
No, but there are some workarounds, including making a fixed-size disk image on it to "reserve" some space. See #Q3 in Using Time Machine with a Time Capsule.
But you still won't have backups of the stuff you put there.
You don't say what kind of Mac you have. If it's a desktop model, just keep the external HD connected to it, and let Time Machine back it up along with your internal HD.
However, it sounds like you may have a laptop, where that's not going to be convenient. In that case, your best bet might be to copy the external HD to a disk image on the TC as above, then keep the HD in a safe place.
To finish, when i enter the TC and go through the Time line how can I get a file from there and move it back to Mac hd.

Debugging using Eclipse and non-standalone 10g

Hey - is it possible to perform remote debugging using Eclipse against the non-standalone version of the 10g App Server? I've tried some of the hints listed in this forum (the most promising seemed to be starting oc4j using this command-line command:
java -classic -Xdebug -Xnoagent -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=y,address=2727 -jar oc4j.jar, then connecting with the Eclipse debugger, which I managed to do - though I had to change one of the parameters because the designated file [a timezone file] could not be found - after the change things seemed to start up correctly. However, when I tried to hit http://localhost:2727 I got a "server not found or DNS error"). I don't know if the debugging works with the non-standalone version of 10g or not... or if I should be using some other startup command so hopefully y'all can help :)
Thanks,
Scott

Scott, apparently you have fallen pray of one of the most common misunderstandings of oc4j. Oc4j, namely, Oracle Application Server Container for j2ee, is a COMPLETE j2ee server. It supports http and https by itself. It is also an ejb container and a lot more. It can be used as a standalone or, with a different configuration, integrated into Oracle Application Server as its core component.
When you use the command "java -jar oc4j.jar ...", you are starting an instance of "standalone oc4j" or "oc4j standalone" as mentioned above, albeit from an OAS installation. In contrast, you can start one instance of Oracle Application Server by "<ORACLE_HOME>/opmn/bin/opmn startall", which will starts, besides several other components, one or several oc4j processes as its oc4j component. This OAS is an HTTP server that takes initial requests and routs the requests that are for OC4J to OC4J server. It may handle some of the requests by itself, or routs other http requests to other components, like mod_plsql. Finally, what we usually called "farm" is a collection of OAS clusters and instances that share the same OAS Infrastructure.
What I have written is just a tiny mini introduction of the OAS. For starters, oc4j is for use by development and small-medium scale production deployments. Plese take a look at the book "Oracle Application Server Containers for J2EE Standalone User's Guide" and then, "Oracle Application Server Concepts". You can find them by
1. go to http://otn.oracle.com
2. select "documentation" pull-down menu and then "application server"
3. go to the first "view library" or the one suits you.
4. view the "Oracle Application Server Concepts"
5. or go to "List of All Books" and you will see all of them!
Well, the best place to self-teach oc4j is, besides googling with site:oracle.com, the oc4j homepage,
http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/java/oc4j/index.html
The above is written in case you need more information. Now let me come to your specific questions.
1. how to hit the OC4J instance directly, bypassing an HTTP server entry?Since what you started is an oc4j standalone, it does not make any sense to say "bypassing an HTTP server entry". Oc4j instance itself IS an http server. To access its http service, try
http://<yourHostNameOrIP>:<httpPort>/<yourAppWebContextRoot>
where the httpPort and yourAppWebContextRoot can be found in default-web-site.xml or http-web-site.xml. Which one or other web-site.xmls are effective is determined in <OC4J_HOME>/config/server.xml. Here the OC4J_HOME refers to your "C:/OraHome1/j2ee/home".
2. how to get the HTTP server started via the command-line startup?As said above, you already got an HTTP server running.
What I suggest for you is to play with oc4j standalone. You can come to OAS later:
1. download oc4j standalone distribution, "Oracle Containers for J2EE 10g (10.1.3) Developer Preview 3", from here "http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ias/preview.html"
2. unzip the downloaded file. What you get is basically the same to a part of your existing "C:/OraHome". Go to j2ee/home. Run
java -Xdebug -Xnoagent -Djava.compiler=none -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=y,address=3301 -jar oc4j.jar
Make sure you are using java 1.4.2 sdk.
3. "new" your remote debugger from Eclicpse and specify the hostname and port 3301.
4. http://<yourHost>:8888/
A further note: to debug jsp's, you can use Jdeveloper that allows you to set debug points directly in a jsp that is running in its embeded oc4j server.

Unicode -- non-unicode transports

Hello!
Is it possible to exchange transports between unicode and non-unicode systems, such as client export-imports, change requests etc?
Thanks!
Kind regards,
