  • Daily activities of a support consultant

    Hello Masters,
    What would be the daily activities of a support consultant?
    I am bound to give points
    Thanks and Best wishes,
    I-BI

    HI
    These are the Daily Support processes & related links,
    ***From SDN
    Normally the production support activities include
    Scheduling
    R/3 Job Monitoring
    B/W Job Monitoring
    Taking corrective action for failed data loads.
    Working on some tickets with small changes in reports or in AWB objects.
    The activities in a typical Production Support would be as follows:
    1. Data Loading - could be using process chains or manual loads.
    2. Resolving urgent user issues - helpline activities
    3. Modifying BW reports as per the need of the user.
    4. Creating aggregates in Prod system
    5. Regression testing when version/patch upgrade is done.
    6. Creating adhoc hierarchies.
    Also refer these posts:
    Re: In production Support , how i can acquire the knowledge
    Re: How to resolve tickets  its urgent
    Re: production support issues
    production support
    we can perform the daily activitiesin Production
    1. monitoring Dataload failures thru RSMO
    2. Monitoring Process Chains Daily/weekly/monthly
    3. Perform Change run Hirerachy
    4. Check Aggr's Rollup
    To add to the above
    1) check data targets are ready for reporting,
    2) No failed or cancelled jobs in sm37 monitors and Bw Monitor.
    3) All requests are loaded for day, monthly and yearly also.
    4) Also to note down time taken for loading of critical infocubes which are used for reporting
    5) Is there any break in any schedules from your process chains.
    It's totally a client specific tool.
    The common features here can be
    A ticket Id,
    Priority,
    Consultant ID/Name,
    User ID/Name,
    Date of Post,
    Resolving Time etc.
    There ideally is also a knowledge repository to search for a similar problem and solutions given if it had occurred earlier.
    You can also have training manuals (with screen shots) for simple transactions like viewing a query, saving a workbook etc so that such queried can be addressed by using them.
    When the problem is logged on to you as a consultant, you need to analyse the problem, check if you have a similar problem occurred earlier and use ready solutions, find out the exact server on which this has occured etc.
    You have to solve the problem (assuming you will have access to the dev system) and post the solution and ask the user to test after the preliminary testing from your side.
    Get it transported to production once tested and posts it as closed i.e. the ticket has to be closed.
    ---If there is a dataload failure, what steps/checks do i need to follow. Etc.
    it means thats depends upon the failure we need to monitor and take corrective action ..
    generally we do in load failures...
    ST22 for any shortdumps
    sm21 for log entries and
    TRF entries
    sm12 for any locks
    we need to analyze from these t-codes.
    Changing query/object
    -change ticket from open to working.
    -get additional details if any required.
    -create transport request in dev.
    -make the change and save in transport.
    -check that transport goes through OK.
    -do testing in QA system.
    -after testing is OK,get change transported to prod.
    -update ticket and resolve it.
    -usually helpdesk closes ticket after confirmation with user who raised ticket.
    data load failure
    -regularly check rsmo(monitor) for data load failures.
    -if load fails,get details from details tab of monitor.
    -usual errors are:master data missing,special characters in data,datasource not replicated,delta load issues etc.
    -get root cause of error,and fix data load manually.
    -check that manually updated data is GREEN and available for reporting in data target.
    -update ticket and resolve it.

  • What are the responsibilities of Functional consultant in Upgradation?

    hai friends
    What are the responsibilities of Functional consultant in an Upgradation Project
    Are the responsibilites similar to implementation project.if no  How does it differ.
    Thanks
    regards
    Krishna

    Krishna,
    Responsibities for the functional consultant will be differ based on the upgrade which is Technical upgrade and Functional upgrade.
    Resp for Technical upgrade: If its a technical upgared your roll will be limited and your involvement will required only for testing ( unit test and Integration testing) . So most of the effort is required only for BASIS consultant.
    Resp for Functional upgrade: If there is any add in with your business process (any new functionalites and enhancements) you need to involve for functional design for the new process additionally with the testing.
    Cheers!!!

    Please give the point for the useful reply.

  • Difference between roles and responsibilities of sd consultant?

    what is the difference between roles and responsibilities of sd consultant?

    Hi!
    "Roles and responsibilities" it is a term used by the consultant to tell about themselves. There is no difference between them. They co-related to each other. If you are given a ROLE for that certain RESPONSIBILITIES will be there.
    Hope you got cleared.

  • What is roles and responsibilites in supporting tell at the place of client

    Dear gurus,
    pls explan detailed summary in the support to project , step by step if ask some body how to tell... with explanation... who will be involved in your role , is there attend to any quick meeting ... know solve ticket rather than what support member do it ?
    thanx .sai.

    Hi Sai
    A Consultant who is working on a support project needs to look after daily issues raised by the user present across the globe if cutomer is present in more than one country. there is differnce between a user and a super user, a user whenever finds some issue while working on His/Her area in SAP tells super user , then Super user raise a ticket through a Tool to supporting partner. the tool is a medium by which Super user raises there issues and then same can be seen by support guys.each problem has different severity level depends on how critical is the problem. normally E1,E2,E3 and E4 are the severities in increaing order of the resolution time and decreaing order of severity. so E1 is most severe problem and needs to be resolved within a say half n hour because it is impacting 80-90% of the customer business. same way E, E3 and E4 have some time attached to them, so support guy has to solve the issue with the time assigned to each severity. if you miss it then it wll impact your  company based on the SLA(service level agreement).

  • Looking to hire live support/consultant to get me started

    I'm just switching from PC to Mac and Frontpage to
    Dreamweaver. I watched a bunch of Lynda movies, which were useful,
    but I have problems opening and working with my existing sites...
    content does not display in design view, CSS does not pick up etc.
    Bet this is something obvious and simple for someone who
    knows what they're doing... :-(
    I'm looking for someone I can call in moments like these to
    help me do things more efficiently.
    I would send you a Yugma invitation to share my desktop, so
    you don't have to live in this area.
    Right now I'm quite stressed by a project deadline (this
    weekend, 5/17/08), so a message/support soon would be
    great...

    You can contact me offlist at 'forums at
    great-web-sights.com' if you are
    interested in a consultant.
