Configuring ChaRM to unfinished pipeline (PRD yet missing)

Hi Experts,
We are working with SolMan 4.0 SP13 and have been succesfull in configuring ChaRM to 3 system pipelines. Now we are facing a situation where new pipeline is not yet finished but development and therefore transports need to be started.
I have a vaque memory of seing possibility to use a "placeholder" for systems that don't exist yet and then add them once they are available. Having searched notes and SDN I haven't been able to find a solution.
What we have now is DEV and QAS in the pipeline and we need to start trasnports between these two. PRD will be available later on in the spring and once it is, we would add it to ChaRM configuration. The request is to start using ChaRM for implementation and development.
Has anyone of you done this kind of ChaRM configuration? I'd be greatful for any hints you may give me.
Sincerelly,
Auli

Hi experts,
I found out that the "placeholder" is infact a virtual machine and that we should use before the pipeline is completed. I'm still worried that how can we replace the virtual machine in logical component, iBase and task lists and still be able to complete transport to production if we use the vm now.
Has anyone of you done a similar ChaRM configuration?
I would be very greatful for any advice you may give me on this matter!
Thank you in advance!

Auli

SolMan ChaRM - System landscape not ready yet

Hi all,
We are configuring ChaRM for an implementation use, therefore all the systems are not set up yet.
Is it possible in SolMan to define logical component without "real" systems ?
We saw that in STMS it was possible to create virtual systems, but how do we link these virtual systems to SolMan ChaRM ?
Is it possible to define a virtual system landscape and to build and configure ChaRM scenario with this ?
Thanks a lot for all your help,
Regards.

Yes, it is possible to define a development system and virtual systems (Q- and P-System).
Via transaction SMSY you can describe the planned Q- and P-System at first as 'virtual'.
Create transport routes with transport buffers as you would do for existing systems.
Define the buffers as they should be named in future.
For experimental purposes we connected our IDES-System to our development SolMan system.
In this environment we could map such a ChaRM-configuration.
In the meantime we practiced it in our production SolMan system, too.
Best regards

I am getting the following error: Unable to authenticate the package: B_SPACE_NUTRITION.itmsp ERROR ITMS-9000: "OPS/ibooks.ncx(5): element "content" not allowed yet; missing required element "navLabel"" at Book (MZItmspBookPackage)

I am getting the following error when attempting to deliver my iBooks Author book package via iTunes Producer: "
Unable to authenticate the package: B_SPACE_NUTRITION.itmsp
ERROR ITMS-9000: "OPS/ibooks.ncx(5): element "content" not allowed yet; missing required element "navLabel"" at Book (MZItmspBookPackage)"
I understand that there's something wrong with the TOC file (.ncx), but I have tried everything and nothing seems to work. Every section of the TOC is labeled, so not sure why the navLabel issue is happenening.
Any help is GREATLY appreciated! Thank you.

Similar issues looks like. Are you using a template other than those in iBooks Author? That's what I did, and that was definitely part of the issue.
After digging through .ibooks code for hours and still not seeing the problem, I decided to reach out to one of the Apple epub conversion affiliates in iTunes Connect. They said they could repair the file without a problem, started working on it, only to come back a week later and say they couldn't work on .ibooks or .iba files yet.
So, in complete frustration, I decided to transfer my content page by page from the blank template I downloaded from a vendor online to one of the "textbook" templates in IBA. This was a long process as I had to unlock and clear out the formatting of the template. But, once that was done and content was transferred over, all was good. I submitted/delivered the same content and preview book within the new template and it went right through the first time (all metadata was exactly the same as well).
Now, the iBookstore approval waiting process begins!
Good luck!

Need help in configuring CHARM with R/3 System landscape with seven systems

Hi All,
we are planning to configure CHARM for our R/3 landscape.our current STMS includes seven systems.in the current STMS the transports flow as below.
D20->C20->C21->C22->C23->T20->P20
we require the transports to move in the same way as stated above even after CHARM is configured
1.please let me know if we can configure CHARM with seven systems.
2.if yes, how would the import happen( ie Action for import appears for all systems?).
Regards,
Anand Reddy

HI andy,
the transports will move in the following order.
D20(DEV)->C20(Consolidation)->C21(integ)->C22(reg)->C23(unit)->T20(final test)->P20(production)
transport will start in D20,then imported C20 followed by C21,C22,C23,T20 imports and finally reach P20
the systems are not in parallel they are one behind the other

Role of old released transport after configuring charm

I want to configure charm 7.1 in solution manager 7.1 SP10 .how can i include released(old ) transports after charm configuration? please share your ideas about this.Thanks in advance

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.

Configure EWA for our SAP PRD server

Hello,
I would like to configure EWA reports for our PRD system.
In our Solman (7.01), we have the following:
smsy -> Systems
Sap ERP ENHANCE PACKAGE with BAS, DEV, PRD and BAS systems
SAP SOLUTION MANAGER with SSM system
solution_manager -> Solution Overview
ERP
SAP Solution
In these both solutions, the only EWA reports that I get are for my SSM system.
I have configured the trusted connections for my PRD.
Now, how could I tell my solman that I would like that PRD report is also generated in ERP solution?
Thanks in advance for your answers.

No, you need a sim to activate it, then you can configure it.

Configuring CHARM after solman 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.

How to configure TMS for ChaRM with Customizing routes?

Hi Experts,
We have succesfully configured three system landscape TMS for ChaRM for several pipelines already. Now we are facing a situation where TMS is as follows:
DEV to QAS contains routes:
Customizing: ZEBP => 100
Transport: ZDEV => 100
Customizing: ZSUS => 200
Transport: SAP => 100
The question with these is how to add ZEBP and ZSUS to ChaRM configuration?
QAS to PRD:
Delivery: 200 => 200
Delivery: 100 => 100
Here the question is how to enable transports between 200s alongside 100?
When looking at SMSY in SolMan, SUS is a logical system only.
Has anyone of you come across a situation like this? I'm glad for any hints you may give me!
Our SolMan is 4.0 SP13.
Best Regards,
Auli

Hi
in my opinion you can configure it the following way:
Customizing: ZEBP => 100
Transport: ZEBP => 100 (not ZDEV)
Customizing: ZSUS => 200
Transport: SAP => 100
Then assign ZEBP as default transport layer for client 100 and ZSUS for client 200.
It is not possible to configure ZEBP and ZDEV for client 100 if you want to use charm

Error in CHARM configuration to move JAVA objects 'The project is not relea

Hi,
I have BI 7.0 (ABAP + JAVA) landscape (i.e. CBD, CBQ and CBP) on SPS12 and SolMan 7.0 (SMD) on SPS14. My goal is to move both ABAP and JAVA transports through CHARM. I performed following tasks:
1. Configured TMS by selecting CBD as Transport Domain controller to move Java transports
2. Configured CHARM for BI landscape to move ABAP transports in SMD and it is working fine
3. Configured CTS+ to move JAVA transports on SMD instead of CBD because CTS_BROWSER service is not available on CBD due to SPS12. While configuring CTS+ in SMD, I used SIDs for BI Java landscape as reverse SID (i.e. DBC, QBC and PBC) and used mapping parameter to map to original SID. I used reverse SID because already in SMD (CBD, CBQ and CBP) has been defined for CHARM purpose. Now, I am able to move successfully JAVA transports of BI landscape from SMD.
4. I am having issue in configuring CHARM on SMD for JAVA transports. I am following http://service.sap.com/solutionmanager --> Media Library --> TechnicalPapers --> How to Set Up and Use eCTS/ChaRM Solution Manager 4.0 SP12 document. Following are the steps, I performed to move JAVA transport through CHARM:
     a. Defined JAVA systems (i.e. DBC, QBC and PBC) in SMSY as Enterprise portal systems
     b. Defined ABAP system (i.e. Where Transport request is created, in my case it is SMD) in SMSY
     c. Defined logical component for both ABAP and JAVA systems
     d. Defined solution manager project by adding two logical components created at step C (i.e. ABAP and JAVA)
     e. I am getting error when I am trying to activate CHARM and create task list. The error is as follows:
/TMWFLOW/TRACKN 101: 'Warning: Problems occurred during synchronization of the system landscape'.
If you choose 'Check', the system displays the following message in the results list of the check:
/TMWFLOW/TRACK_N 806: 'No consolidation system found for SMD-200 (project zjava3)'
If you try to create a task list by choosing the relevant pushbutton, the system issues message
/TMWFLOW/CONFIG_UI 017: 'The project is not released. Hence cycle can not be created'.
I found a relevant sap note for this 1054264 but it is not useful me, as it suggest to upgrade SolMan to SPS12 but whereas I am on SPS 14.
Any suggestion are welcome. Thanks in advance.
Regards
Shiv

Hello
You should first fix the errors you get such as the missing consolidation system
Please see thread [Re: No consolidation system found for SID in solman; or check the forum on the error message "'No consolidation system found for" and you will find relevant information.
I would advise to update your SAP Solution Manager though to one of the latest available levels, there are a lot of fixes and enhancements to Charm (and also availability of quality gate management which gives some of the functionality of Charm but is more compact).
Kind regards

Icons missing & blank configuration

I purchased the 8830 World smartphone, (GPRS, COMA), SW ver 4.2.2.176 on Platform 3.0.0.76, with all SW modules ver 4.2.2.176, with excption: net_rim_reimbursed 4.2.10, SecureIDLib 2.1.0, and all net_rim_bb_lbs....... at 1.2.26
I could have sworn that I had an email and web browser icon when I began confirguring this phone. Too bad I didn't do those first. Biggest issue:
#1 > The browser app is there (ver 4.2.2); Default Permission for connections, interactions & user data are set to Allow; When I select Opts > Advd > Browser, it displays Default browser configuration: and nothing else.
I've gone to Host Routing Table and Restered. My Service Book has no entries. Enterprise Activation is blank em/pswrd, PIN has an alphanumerical entry, status=not activated.
Default Services is empty. Browser Push has all Enabled, Auto and Allow All.
I have a Sprint package that give me EVERYTHING - web, pc to phone web connect, yada yada..
I am not hiding any icons and have Show All selected.
The following is a complete list of the icons in my application screen. A SERIOUS subset of what is listed under Opts > Advd > Apps.
Blackberry Messenger       Saved Messages        Call Log        Messages     Compose        Voice Dialing
Address Book                  Setup Wizard            Calendar       Tasks           Memo Pad    Maps

Turn Power Off               Keyboard Lock           Calculator     Media           Alarm
Password Keeper       BrickBreaker
How do I get my icons, correctly configure the browser and what else is missing that I don't know about yet?
I'm reluctant to do anything in case I need to wipe this clean and start from scratch (I hope not).

You might want to contact Sprint for assistance. Without the service books nothing is going to work. What plan do you have with Sprint? Is it the Simply Everything Plan?

ChaRM configurtn-No network connectivity in between DEV-QA1 to QA2 and PRD

hi Experts,
We are planning to implement solution manager for CHaRM configuration.
Our Landscape is something like this...
ECD(DEV)->EC1(QA1) and
EA2(QA2)->EAP(PRD)
we are not having any network connectivity in between DEV-QA1 to QA2 and PRD. DEV and QA1 are in one network and QA2 and PRD are on other network.
DEV and QA1 are connected and QA2 and PRD are connected.
Now we need to implement ChaRM from Dev to PRD, so please suggest me how to implemet this. Whether this is possible or not? what different settings we have to do from standards.
It would be very great if you suggest us on this.
thanks
narpal

Hi Raghu,
we are moving the files (Co files and Data File) manually from QA1 to QA2.
We are runnning one batch proggram that moves the co file data file from QA1/DEV to one spefifyed folder/server/device.
And then from this device/folder to QA2 we are moveing manually.
Now same way whether we can move the files in case of ChaRM configuration? Please suggest?
thanks
Narpal

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!
