CTS+ and CHARM?

Hello all,
What is the difference between CTS+ and CHARM?? Is it better to use one over the other?
TIA

Prakhar,
your link doesn't say CTS is the Admin execution and governance of change projects. That's the defintion of ChaRM.
CTS is Change and Transport System, which is needed for ChaRM but can be used without ChaRM.
CTS+ just adds the One-Transport-Order (OTO) part to CTS.
you can read more about CTS here:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/3b/dfba3692dc635ce10000009b38f839/content.htm
CTS+ can be better understood here:
FAQs on the Enhanced Change and Transport System [original link is broken]
from the above CTS link:
"CTS (Change and Transport System) is the transport capability of the SAP NetWeaver AS ABAP. This capability has been enhanced and now, the transport of non-ABAP objects is supported as well. The u2018+' or u2018enhanced' has been added to express this."

Piont rewarded for solution

Hello
I have configured Ibase for Charm, i followed spro config info as follows:
Manually Create and Assign the Component Systems asiBase
In this IMG activity, you define the Installed Base (iBase) manually, that is for refreshing existing iBases after solutions have been changed.
An iBase component has to be created for each satellite system from which Service Desk messages will be sent to the SAP Solution Manager system.
For the Value Added Reseller (VAR), it is not absolutely necessary to manually define the iBase at this point. We recommend, however, that you carry out this step so that you have a functioning test scenario.
Activities
1. In transaction Change Installed Base (IB52), choose iBase No. 1 (SOL_MAN_DATA_REP).
2. Create under the IBase Header (SOL_MAN_DATA_REP) an IBase component, for example the SAP component system (SAP WEB AS) or use an existing one.
3. To assign the systems as iBase components, go to the Text item tab.
Three components are included in the standard package.
4. Add all the satellite systems as text items to the table:
Column Short text: Description of the system
Column Identification: System ID, installation number, client
5. Save.
After changes have been made to a solution, repeat these steps to update system landscape data for iBase.
Note:
Every system is only listed once in the iBases. That means a system is not listed in an iBase if it has been listed in another iBase before.
If the identification is not entered correctly, the system cannot correctly identify the component from the incoming Service Desk message.
Its really good and I have set up the config in that way only.
If useful reward the points.
Thanks

Link between implementation project configuration (SOLAR02) and ChaRM?

Dears;
We want to benefit from listing all IMG Objects and developments in an implementation project (SOLAR02) to control our transports as we have ChaRM activated on the affected systems.
But there seems to be no link/control which has several consequences:
*Status of "changes" in ChaRM and related developments in the implementation project have to be tracked seperately
*There is no link between the development in the project (SOLAR02) and the created TR.
*There is no limitation/control in the content of the TR if it concerns items not listed in your project => how to check if the project is up-to-date?
Are my assumptions correct? Or am I forgetting something?
What is the experience in maintaining changes (transports) for implementation project? On what level? Linked with the structure in Solar02 or completely independant?
I have done quite some reading around the topics but documentation around project management via SolMan and ChaRM via SolMan seems never to be really connected? (only the overall status of the project and the activation of charm via SOLAR_PROJECT_ADMIN)

Thank you for the reply. Concerning these points:
1) This is done... No questions there
2) The "and" in your sentence means that I myself have to do both things? So there is no link?
So this does mean that (what my understanding was) I have to create a normal change via ChaRM but under the project for example a certain business scenario. That developers work on all topics related and should "remember" that if they put something under that transport they should verify if this is documented in the SOLAR02?
If then the change is put to testing they should manually update the status of everything related to this transport in the SOLAR02...

How do we generate reports in SD?
and what is the process of report generation?
How can we do the partial deliveries and give some steps to configure in sap?
If the client logon screen deleted, requirement is urgent, then what will we do?
hope will get me the above information in detail:
thanks to all gurus
vasan

Hi,
Reports are basically what the client uses to run his business to understand what is happening. In sap all the data is stored in the form of tables. So when we want a report say to show the sales happd over the last 3 montsh or an year over some divison for a product can be fetched from the database thorugh these tables.
ex some standard reports
SAP SD Reports: T-Code: SARP
All Standard Reports which are avalable are as under:
SAP Easy Access: Information Systems -> Logistics -> Sales and distribution ->
1. Customer -> Incoming orders / Returns / Sales / Credit memos / Sales activities / Customer master / Conditions / Credit Master Sheet
2. Material -> Incoming orders / Returns / Sales / Credit memos / Material master / ...
3. Sales organization -> Sales organization / Sales office / Sales employee
4. Shipping point -> Deliveries / Returns
5. SD documents -> Orders / Deliveries / Billing documents ...
& so on.
Some of the Standard reports in SD are:
Sales summary - VC/2
Display Customer Hirarchy - VDH2
Disply Condition record report - V/I6
Pricing Report - V/LD
Create Net Price List - V_NL
List customer material info - VD59

Tiles and charms stop working

Tiles and Charms stop working. When tiles stopped functioning (clicking on tile on desktop causes the desktop tile itself to scroll) and I could still access the search charm, I ran sfc/scannow as admin. It showed a couple of corrupt files it could not fix, but on reboot, the tiles and charms functioned again. Have been through this about four times at this point.
Seems to have started with the last Windows 8.1 update, and is somehow related to the OneDrive syncing engine. I had not used OneDrive; started using it, and this mess started. I disabled all pc and laptop OneDrive settings and stopped using it. However, the "OneDrive sync engine" message appears for no apparent reason, and then the tiles and charms stop working. If I have Outlook and Foxfire apps open, they still work, and their open windows still appear in the bottom toolbar. All the other app shortcut links that normally pinned there disappear.
When I try to shut the PC down, if I can do so via the power charm, I get a message that it can't shut down because the "Portrait Display Inc. app is preventing shut down." There is no such program shown in the installed program list in Control Panel. I understand from Googling it that it's somehow embedded in HP PC's.
This is an HP Envy Phoenix 810, with an HP monitor (non-touch), both purchased Dec., 2013. Running Windows 8.1, on automatic updates; using McAffee All-Access AV, up to date. Standard Office apps. No goofy software.
I see that many other people have had this problem, have used the sfc/scannow approach, with little lasting effect.

Hi Experts, I have a question, we are implementing RCA and CHaRM functionality in SolMan. Can they be independently implemented or do they have any dependency. If yes ! ! Pls let me know what dependency they have. Do we need to implement in any sequence.
Can we create two diffrent project in the Solman_setup and configure two diffrent projects to setup CHaRM and RCA functionality saparately-
Any comments or recomendations will be highly appreciated.

CTS and CMS

What is CTS n CMS?

Hi,
CTS
The Change and Transport System (CTS) is a tool that helps you to organize development projects in the ABAP Workbench and in customizing, and then transport the changes between the SAP Systems and clients in your system landscape.
This documentation provides you with an overview of how to manage changes with the CTS and essential information on setting up your system and client landscape and deciding on a transport strategy. Read and follow this documentation when planning your development project.
For practical information on working with the Change and Transport System, see Change and Transport Organizer and Transport Management System.
What ever is developed in sap is assiged to a transport request, it is created by transaction SE09 and then it is released when the data needs to be transported in various other systems.
The Change and Transport System (CTS, SAP NetWeaver usage type AS ABAP) is enhanced with SAP NetWeaver 7.0 SPS 12 to be capable of transporting Non-ABAP object types, such as from the SAP NetWeaver usage types PI (Exchange Infrastructure), EP (Portal), etc. The enhanced CTS I will refer to as CTS+. Using its new capabilities further simplifies system administration of an SAP system landscape.

I went thru the documentation and guide but still very confused ( my CRM background is very weak). If you have created any documentation that you could share with me on any of the two subject I would REALLY appreciate. My email is [email protected]

CTS and Data Integrator

I want to be able to use CTS, perhaps in conjunction with ChaRM on Solution Manager or CTS+, for version/change control of Data Integrator objects that are using Rapid Marts as targers (as opposed to SAP BI targets). Has SAP enabled this capability yet, and if so, can someone point me in the direction of documentation on this? If not, does anyone have any inside scoop on when it might become available?

I'm trying to remove the manual movement of code from the development repository to the QA repository and then another manual intervention to move from the QA repository to the production repository. Furthermore, I want to be able to use tools that we already have on hand and not have to introduce another application (tool) to perform this. Since we're primarily an SAP shop, and therefore have Solution Manager and other applications including SAP BW (really dislike that it was changed back to SAP BW from SAP BI recently), and since SAP now owns Business Objects, I was hopeful that DI has already been integrated with the SAP CTS framework. Is this something that's part of the 2010 changes where SAP BW and Business Objects are morphed more into an integrated set of tools?

Win 8.1 Start button and Charms randomly stops working BUG (workaround)

To anyone experiencing this, it is a bug in Win 8.1 which I can replicate at will.
Reinstalling your system as suggested by MS engineers will not fix this.
To force the bug to appear:
1. Grab a desktop Icon (recycle bin, any shortcut) and move this up to the top left hand corner without letting go of the mouse button. Drop shortcut anywhere on desktop. Without an Icon the mouse pointer would initiate the recent apps.
2. To check that the first step has worked, try and invoke charms by moving mouse to top right hand corner. If Charms do not appear then the bug has been triggered.
3. Now move mouse over start button (no click), move away then back again. Now the start button is locked. If you unlock the taskbar you can move it to any other position (top, left or right) and the start button works. Move taskbar back to the
bottom and the start button still does not work. Only way to get it working again is to restart window explorer in task manager.
To avoid this happening all you need to do is disable recent apps corner.
1. Right click desktop.
2. Click Taskbar and Navigation
3. Click Navigation tab in the properties window
4. Uncheck "When I click the upper-left corner, switch between my recent tabs."
Now the bug cannot be triggered as above to make the start button stop working. You have to remove this feature which is pretty hopeless on a desktop anyway. Its better than restarting Window explorer every time.
I can replicate this on any desktop or laptop, fresh install or old. Not sure about any touch screen machines. I can also trigger this in VMPlayer\Virtual Box and the Modern IE VM images that MS provide.
Now the MS engineers can replicate this on their machines, and maybe if we are lucky they will FIX it!!!!
MS please acknowledge that this is a bug.
Maybe the issue is due to the windows button not being redrawn on the screen once triggered as it still works when taskbar is moved (graphic card drivers). Could not find anything use full in the system logs.
Just noticed also that the charms also breaks if you drag an Icon up to the right hand corner. Once triggered Charms stops working, start button is not affected with the above work around configured.
MS please read this and reply.

suspect it is local to your environment.
Others seeing the same symptom. Note that originally I was not using the
Top left hover for thumbnail feature and then also claimed not to see it.
Oh. And here is another factor that someone else is using as a workaround. A link to the first thread I was thinking of can be found in this one

Project documentation and ChaRM

Dear all:
We are going to store the documentation at SOLAR01/02 and use ChaRM for our daily modifications. The porblem is that we still cant figure out what is the integration between those 2 components. If I have to make a correction in the system, how could I set up an action in ChaRM or something that links to the corresponding document to be updated? This is a maintenance project.
Could anyone shed some light on this, or refer to good documentation or whatever!
Thank you a lot in advance,
Federico.

Hi
Apart from above linking
you can goto Transaction Data->Document tab in the charms ticket
and here you can upload or maintain the change related document like Functional Spec Tech Spec etc.
hope it helps
