Configuration of charms

Hi All,
I am very new to Charms and i don't have any conceptual knowledge on Charms.
1) I want to know if any change request is raised in any of the Landscape will it reflect in the solution manager where we configured the Charms.
2) Steps required to configure Charms.
Can anyone help me out in configuration of Charms.
Thanks & Regards,
Sreeram

Hi Sreeram,
There are already a lot of threads explaining us how to set up the CHARM functionality.
Once you read the documentation then try to see what doubts you have. Studying the documentation and start planning from there is more important than the execution (execution then takes very less time than we anticipate). On top of that, you can test this functionality even without disturbing the live R/3 landscape before implementing the real scenario.

Existing STMS configuration and CHARM setup

Experts:
We have a pretty complicated STMS configuration because of many clients from ECC DEV, QA and one production client.
Now we want to set up CHARM.
Can we use the current STMS configuration without making any change on STMS for this CHARM project?
I have done a lot of reading on this and come up with this layout for logical components:
For customizing clients:
DEV101->QAS101-> QAS200 ->PRD100
DEV102->QAS102-> QAS200 ->PRD100
DEV103->QAS103-> QAS200 ->PRD100
For code development
DEV104->QAS104-> QAS200 ->PRD100
Because QAS200 is the only QA client that has a tp router to PRD100
We plan to create a dedicated project (therefor a dedicated maintenance cycle) for each of above logical components.
Would you please inform us whether it's smart for us NOT change current STMS configuration?
Thanks!

Hi Jennifer,
I am quite sure that you can use the current STSM configuration with ChaRM. You will need to configure a logical component for each track and add to the same maintenance cycle.
It is important that you assign a transport layer to each of the development clients, but I am sure this is already done. Assign each QAS with role "target system ".

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.

Configurations of CHARM and What is SDMN ?

Hi Experts,
Thanx for your help to solve my previous issues.I am new to solution manager. Actually i am technical consultant.This is my first project in solution manager( CHARM). I completed below steps .
1.Copied SDCR to ZDCR and completd configuration . Working fine . Able to create follow up document(ZDHF).
2 Copeid SDHF to ZDHF . Completed other setting need for that .
But i am getting an error in ZDHF "No maintenance cycle is open for the current system'.
I read somewhere this is because of maintenance transaction -SDMN.
Do i need to link this SDMN or ZDMN to my ZDHF . What is the functinality of this ?
Not only to ZDHF , To ZDCR also do i need to link ZDMN?
Where do i need to do this settings in SPRO ?
Thanks in Advance ,
Vijay

/usr/sap/trans configuration in CHARM

Hi, all.
We are planning to configure CHARM to support the transports ECC6.0, EP7.0 and BI7.0 systems. For EP7.0, CTS+ is already configured on the solution manager 4.0. Can solman use its own /usr/sap/trans than the ECC6.0 and BI7.0 systems? I have searched through the charm documentation and there is nothing on how to configure solman to use a separate TRANSDIR.
Since the ECC and BI systems are using their own TRANSDIR, it does not make sense to share solman's TRANSDIR with either of the systems.
Please advise.
Thanks,
Jonathan.

Hi, Jonathan,
Your question confuses me a little.
Are all your systems in the same transport domain with Solman being the domain controller? Or is each product (ECC, BI, etc.) each it's own transport domain?
If they are all in the same transport domain, with solman as the domain controller, they should all be using the same trans directory.
Is this what you are asking?
Regards,
Phil

Solution Manager Charm configuration

Hi @all,
I´am using SAP Solution Manager 7.0 SP 15. Configurated all Charm Steps successfully.
The SAP Solutoin Manager - Scenario- Specific Settings - Change Management - Extended Configuration -Checks - Execute Check Report is green
I can´t open any hance cycle in solar_project_admin - System Landscape - Change Requests , Create Task List, I get the result "project is not released. hance cycle can not be created".
If i click "check", there are three errors:
Message from function module /TMWFLOW/CALC_SINGLE_TRACK: No source system
(Message no. /TMWFLOW/TRACK_N103)
No track for project DF_WART_01 with log. system A36/200
(Message no. /TMWFLOW/CM_CHECK038)
CTS projects in production systems for project DF_WART_01
(Message no. /TMWFLOW/TASKLIST190)
System change options are empty.
In my authorized Change Requests - related documents (next document). i get "there are no actions in the Worklist"
i´ve no idea where my fault is. I hope you can help me.
Please suggest.
Best Regards
Daniel

Now I have created a new maintenance project, I´ve configured everything, when I check it, I get two errors:
No consolidation system found for A36-200 (project DF_SOLMAN1)
Message no. /TMWFLOW/TRACK_N806
No track for project DF_SOLMAN1 with log. system A36/200
Message no. /TMWFLOW/CM_CHECK038
I noticed that this thread is pretty old already but I bumped into similar error messages and in the end it was caused by a TMS route configuration that didn't match the configuration of the logical component that was in use.
You can pretty easily verify this through SMSY. Navigate to your logical component there, select the line of the system assignment and click on Shipment Routes button. If you get an empty screen back, then your TMS transport route configuration doesn't match your logical component configuration.
For example, you've got DEV 100 - DEV 200 - PRD 100 for a CHARM demo landscape. If your TMS transport route configuration matches this but your logical component has DEV 100 assigned as Quality Assurance, then your configuration check for CHARM will fail because there is a mismatch.
When your configuration is correct, so both your TMS transport route as your Logical Component (system role assignment), then you should get a transport route configuration back (visible) after clicking Shipment Routes.

Issue in ChaRM Configuration

Hello Guru's,
I'm configuring the ChaRM in our solution manager system, we have 3 system landscape DEV>QAS>PRD, we made all the settings related to Charm. While checking the ChaRM configuration its throwing an error message.
No consolidation system found for HMD-040 (project HMMAINT)
No track for project HMMAINT with log. system HMD/040
Message from function module /TMWFLOW/CHECK_PRJ_CONS: No export system for HMP-040
Also we checked the RFC connection, everything working fine. Could anyone suggest me why its throwing an error.
regards,
Guna

Hi Guna,
Base on the error shown in ur reply it is Basis landscape setup problem
They need to create a client dependent stms in satellite and update the solman as a master domain controller
unless that is done properly you get error like consolidation or export system etc.
ask your basis team to check the same.

Prakhar

Charm configuration in solman 4.0 SP14

Hello Gurus,
I have to do Charm (Change Request Management) configuration in my landscape of
SED-- SEQ,STQ-- STP.
Solman - STM
Can anyone of you please provide me step by step detail for this.
Thanks in advance
Jain Pankaj

I am doing Charm configuration
i am using Dolores Correa's Blog
/people/dolores.correa/blog/2008/07/26/first-steps-to-work-with-change-request-management-scenario
Landscape i am using for Charm config.
SED:030 -
> SEQ/275 -
STP/275 ,Domain Controller is STP ( DOMAIN_SED)
Solman --- STM:100 , Solman is in the same domain,Domain Controller is STP ( DOMAIN_SED)
My doubts :
Spro- Solution manager- Configuration u2013 Senario Specific Settings Change Management-Transport Management System-> Generate RFC connection to 000
Question 1- This RFC has to be genrated from solman STM:100 to Domain Controler (STP/000) ?
or STM:100 to all systems ( SED:000 , SEQ:000 ) in my landscape ?
Spro- Solution manager- Configuration u2013 Senario Specific Settings Change Management-Transport Management System-> Add Import Authorization to Operator/Administrator
i. Make sure that the operator and administrator users in client 000 of the target systems have the same name as their user in the Solution Manager system.
ii. Assign import authorization to the operator and administrator users in client 000 of the target systems (SAP_CHANGEMAN_OPERATOR and SAP_CHANGEMAN_ADMIN roles).
Question 2. what is operator or administrator user
is that my user ex. PJAIN ( the one who is configuring Charm ) or any other user ?
Spro- Solution manager- Configuration u2013 Senario Specific Settings Change Management-Transport Management System->Set Project Assignment of Requests as Mandatory
TMWFLOW/CMSCONF --->Check the entries in the Proj. Assignment column
System of Proj Project Assigmnet
SED :030 optional
if i change this to "mandatory"
Question 3 will this avoid users creating transport orders directly in dev system ( SED:030) ??
as users are workin in dev system , and if i change this to madatory user wont b able to create change request in dev system ( SED:030 ) till the time configuration of Charm gets over by me ,
and if i stuck in some error during charm configuration , no user wil be able to create change request in SED:030 ??
Please advice

ChaRM configuration issue for 2 Clients...

Dear Friends,
I have configured ChaRM in Solution Manager 7.0 EhP1 system. It is working fine without any issues. But now I came across a new requirement and finding trouble in configuring the required scenario.
Currently there is only single client in DEV, QA and PRD system for which ChaRM is configured. Now, I want to configure the ChaRM for 2 clients in each system.
For example,
<ZCHARM_1> -- SOL:001 -- > DEV : 100 --> QAS : 200 --> PRD1 : 300
<ZCHARM_2> -- SOL:001 -- > DEV : 500 --> QAS : 600 --> PRD2 : 700
(Please note, ZCHARM_X is a project and SOL-001 is a Solution Manager ChaRM client).
First up all, I would like to understand, is it possible? is it supported by SAP ?
If yes, how can we configure client specific route for SAP standard transport layer (SAP)? What are the other concerns in using above system landscape in ChaRM?
Please note, we do not want to use separate hardware for either DEV or QA system.
Please can someone guide in this case?
Rajesh Narkhede

Rajesh,
I am not aware if you have searched on this issue, but You may want to take a look at this thread.
Change Request Management for multiple production clients
This configuration should work fine, because in essence, its a 3 system landscape, so there should not be major issues on the way.
From the TMS Standpoint you need to define a transport layer for each development client.
You can create a single project with the logical components or you can create multiple projects with each set of systems. Remember to do the TMS configuration right and you should be set.
Cheers!

Solution manager charm configure

hello everyone
i want to configure the charM scope with our R3 and BW at two domain .
R3 landscape
                    DEV(101sandbox,201-develop,301-customizing ,800unit testing)
                    QAS(800- testing)
                    PRD(800-prduct)
tranport   from DEV TO QAS and delivery to PRD ,also you can export the object from QAS to PRD for special .
domain controller is PRD
BW landscape BWD(client 100)--BWQ(client 880)BWP(client 880)
domain controller is BWP
if we use the charM for manager the change requst ,how we configure in all system for prepare the charM like the stms configure .
we notice our test system and prd system have same client number ,so it is ok for configure ?
expect your help!
thanks a lot!
frank

Hi,
1 QAS client and PRD client can be the same(need not to be different).
2. Make sure that the system landscape you mention under system landscape tab of SOLAR_PROJECT_ADMIN should match with TMS configuration of Solution Manager.(This is very important).
You should create a maintenance project with system landscape DEV-201->QAS-200->PRD-200 using SOLAR_PROJECT_ADMIN. Repeat this step for BW also.
   You need to configure TMS of Solution Manager in Client 000 as follows:
    SLM->DEV-201->(Consolidation Route)QAS-200->(Delivery Route)PRD-200
    SLM->BW-100->(Consolidation Route)BW-880->(Delivery Route)BW-880
No more document is required better than SPRO. Just follow this SPRO path to configure TMS:
SPRO->SAP Solution Manager->Configuration->Scenario-Specific Settings->Change Management
->Change Request Management->Standard Configuration->Transport Management System(Read IMG activity of each step).
Let me know if you have aby issues.
Regards,
Sanjai

ChaRM in solution manager

Dear experts,
We had implemented the SM3.2 (change request management ,EWA and Support desk) in 3-tier landscape, my question is whether we can implement the Change Request Management in 2 tier landscape .
The scenario which we have is 2-systems -
Production with 700 & 900 client and Development with 200 , 300 , 400 .
200---Development client
300---Customizing client
400---Testing client
700---Pre production client
900---Production client
Usually by normal transport system we use to take the request from 200 & 300 to 400, after that we again test it in 700 then take it to 900 production client.
Now please suggest that how we can configure change request in this scenario, if not possible can clients within the system be configure as different system.
can we configure the ChaRM as 200>400>900 where 200 & 400 are the clients of same server or 200>700>900 .
Thanks in advance|| urgent

Dear cherry , prakash and tom..
See i think i am still not able to clear the scenerio.....
1. Dev box is having 200 300 400 clients
2. Prd is having 700 900 client ..now i want to take the request by both of following routes -->
1. 200--> 900....as the 200 is workbench client so testing not required
in this case i got stuck after releasing the request frm dev server .........now no option in change document for importing it directly to production is there .
2. 300-->400 for testing in dev customzing scenerio.
then 300--> 700 for testing in PRD customzing scenerio.
then from 300 --->900.
no idea how to do this.
i hav done all the customizing required alongwith CTC=1 extended tr. control as i have already had configured CHARM in 3-system landscape
simply i want to ask that what should be the TMS route structure for such kind of scenerio.
Also u have mentioned that it can b done through transport gr.........is it transport gr or transport target group u are talking abt.
it will be very grate full if u can forward me the e-mail id at [email protected]

ChARM - Additional logical component does not show up in tasklist

Hi,
the Area is Change Control Management in SolMan with EhP1
Situation:
- SOLMAN_SETUP and configuration for ChARM (number ranges etc.)
- two transport routes: A and B with DEV, QAS, PPRD, PRD
- all systems are maintained in SMSY (PPRD, PRD are virtual)
- two logical components: logA, logB
- one project in SOLAR_PROJECT_ADMIN
-- system landscape - systems are maintained
-- img projects are created
-> Change Request -> Show tasklist
ONLY Systems from logA are available. Creation of transport requests for logA are fine.
Through different errors and changes logB was changed after creating tasklist for logA.
Has anyone an idea why the systems from logB are not in the tasklist?

Yes, that's where I copied that line
SAP_ABA 702 0009 SAPKA70209 Cross-Application Component
from.

Ah, the PI/XI content could be missing, even if this shows up in the list of products and software component versions in the SLD?
I have just checked in the ESR, that seems to be the problem, thanks.

You mean if the service pack is different? I doubt that this would result in the SWCV not showing up in sproxy.
