Hi All,
Is there any way to use solution manger for data migration.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
in case you want to use it as middleware to connect 2 systems then rather use SAP XI / PI. SolMan is not providing such a functionality!

Data Comparison using solution manager

Hi All,
Can anybody please let me know if there is any tool available in Solution Manager(SP 10) for the following case.
I need to check if a value of a certain field in a table on ECC has changed by say 10% between two days(or between 2 runs). If for eg the value in today's run is 10, I need to be know if the value has changed to greater than 11 or less than 9 in tomorrows run.
Can I temporarily store the values of todays run and then compare the value with tomorrows run??

Project Management using Solution Manager

Hi,
We are trying to use solution Manager for managing our IT projects - specifically for SAP projects.
We browsed through the existing functionalities that are available and are not able to get info on the following:
___Project Admin tab for Roadmaps :_ __ In the transaction RMMAIN, we are able to define the scope of the activities at each phase and assign team members and track the status of the activity / task.
However we do not have the tab for tracking the planned start date / end date and the actual start / end dates. Similar is the case for efforts.
So not sure how to track these?
Integration of Roadmaps and Blueprints : Once we have defined the project and assigned the Roadmap, we have all the activities that need to be tracked. In addition in transaction SOLAR01 / SOLAR02, we can define the scope and configurations which in itself are a kind of sub projects to be embedded withing the Blueprint and realization phases respectively of the main Projetc Plan.
How to link these Blueprint specific plan and the realization related plan to the main project plan created out of the Roadmap chosen and to track them as one single project?
Synchronization wih ms project : I see only the option to download the plan as an mpp file. But is there any option to upload mpp as well so that the project can be tracked using mpp and synchronized with Solution manager at frequent intervals?
Your answers would definitely be helping us a lot and would be greatly appreciated.
thanks in advance.

suresh velan

Hi Suresh,
Solution Manager is a Project Management tool. But it is not for Project Planning. If you want to do Project Planning also from the SolMan system, then you have to enable cProjects component of SolMan.
Synchronization between your MS Project and cProjects is possible. But synchronization between SolMan's RoadMap/Blueprint and MS Project is not possible.
In RoadMap, you can capture and track the status of all phase-wise activities as to what is their status. Here capturing date details is not possible.
In Blueprint/Configuration you can capture and keep track of the individual object's blueprinting and configuration activities. Here you can capture the planned/actual start/end dates for each object.
As I said earlier, Solution Manager provides lot of Project Management features, but Project Planning is not possible. For that we have to start using cProjects component in SolMan.
Hope it helps.

Is it a must to use Solution manager for ECC 6.0 upgrade

Is it a must to use Solution Manager for ECC 6.0 (FICO & HR) upgrade? I am told Solution Manager is required only if it has ABAP and JAVA stacks, or involves Enhancement Packages; and could be optional if it is only ECC 6.0 with ABAP stacks.

Hi,
I'm having a difficult time finding some guidance for setting up our R/3 Enterprise system in solman properly, so that I can create the upgrade XML file required to go directly to ERP 6.0 EHP4.
I've set up the R/3 system fine, but when i create a maintenance transaction i cannot for the life of me figure out how to tell it I want to go from r/3 to ERP6 ehp4.
Any docs out there for this?
Thanks!
I figured it out... i had to add the R/3 Enterprise logical components to my system landscape. After that I was able to select R/3 as the initial data in the maintenance transaction and then the system i wanted to upgrade, and then the option to upgrade.
Never mind!

How to Use Solution Manager to collect Status Reports from Consultants

Hi,
I am planning to use Solution Manager for collecting the weekly status reports from my consultants and maintain it as a repository . Please let me know the best way of doing this in SOLMAN. There should be mailing options too.
BR,
Raj

Hi Rajasan,
to be able to meet this requirement, you need to set up plan working load in admin tab for your resource, they need to update actual data based on the work completion, you will get status of work,
if you require email, you need to set-up scot, then develop a program with execution scheduling
please check and revert

CCMS is used for system monitoring , why should we use solution manage ?

CCMS is used for system monitoring , why should we use solution manage ?
Whats the relationship between CCMS system and SolMan?
Thank you .

hi,
I just want to ask a question. At our client we have solution manager and CCMS. There is data in CCMS I can extract, it is loading on BW side ok the same number of recs, but the problem on CCMS cubes says there are the same number of record in the cube and also showing as the data is ready for the reporting. But when I run the report and view the data as listcube it is empty.
ANy of you have the situation like this cube say it has the data but when do th BEX or infocube contents the cube is empty nothing in there. The same thing is happening with hourly, 15 minute and daily cubes.
Anyhelp on this matter is appreciated

Lotus Notes documents migration into Solution Manager

We have been using Lotus notes application for maintaining only documentation in our landscape. But now, the plan is to move all the documentation from Lotus notes to SAP Solution Manager and use it as a document management system from now....
Could anyone please answer the following queries:
1) Does LSX environment help/enhance the migration ?. If not, are there any tools/accelerators/functions/automatic methods for mas uploading?
2) This documentation is not project specific documentation. Where do you think this must go in Solution Manager?
In the custom area of BPR?. If yes, please do let me know the procedure for the same.
3) Would it be possible to link the documents to functional domains/ business scenarios/ business processes in the BPR?
4) Lotus notes provides access to all the versions (Draft/Approved/Reviewed) of a document. Would it be possible to have the same features even in Solution Manager?
5) What all document types does Solution Manager recognize?.
I think the Lotus notes documents can be converted to 'Word' format and then put in Solution Manager. Besides this, is there any other common format which is recognized by both the tools?
6) Standard SAP Solution manager does not provide indexed search. So, in order to retrieve a document later what indexing nomenclature/guidelines do you recommend?
Has anyone done/faced with this kind of requirement. The idea now is to use Solution manager as a document management system. The efforts/process/timelines information if already known would be of great help to start with for us....
Could you also provide the trade offs b/n Solution Manager and SAP knowledge warehouse (KW)?
Hoping for some replies ...

we also had the same requirement to migration from LN to SolMan Documentation base but there is no such tool (yet?)
What you can do you can migrate from any ARIS like platform to SolMan:
http://en.sap.info/ids-scheer-announces-migration-program-to-aris-platform/4058
You do have versioning in SolMan and you can upload any kind of document via SOLAR01
regarding the indexing you can either use SAP SES or connect TREX, this is documented in the customizing (SPRO)
TREX will also be the prerequisite to make use of KM in SolMan

How to create a "blueprint" using solution manager?!!

I have been asked to create a 'blueprint" using solution manager!! I have absolutely no clue how this can be achieved using solution manager!! Please guide me on what is to be done.Would appreciate if you donot give me links of help.sap as the same is not making sense to me.
I have to create a blueprint for 20 countries of SAP reports available for FICO. Some of these reports are country specific while others are generic.

Hi Suchita,
You can create blueprint document using SOLAR01 transcation, provided you must have included all the organizational data, business process, master data,,
Follow the path
transaction SOLAR01->Business Blueprint-> Generate Blueprint
You must have created a solution and a project assigned to that solution also.
further clarifications feel to post the query

Why use Solution Manager?

Hi,
I wonder if you can help. We have been advised to install Solution Manager in order to manage the upgrade from 4.6c to ECC 5.0, but have also heard conflicting advice that states that this is not necessary and is an overhead.
Can anyone advise if SolMan is worth installing and what the benefits are of running the upgrade through this vs using normal methods.
Many thanks.
Sean

Hi,
Wel solution manager is an awesome project tracking tool.
Say for e.g it will generate reports for the overall testing using which you will be able to know who is testing what is testing and how much testing is compeleted.
It stores all the log for automatic test cases whether ECATT or External (mercury QTP).
I have written several blogs on testing and ecatt and qtp integration can view the same on sdn.
In addition to above if you use solution manager you can get accelerate roadmap documents and also provide you reports which can show you the current progress of your project with time and dates.
Provide e-learning and also can use solution manager as document management system.
If you are not going to use the same,You are missing all above.Decision is your's.
Please reward points if it helps.

How to monitor BI & PI using Solution Manager 4.0

Hi, we have installed Netweaver 04S SR2 SP11 BI & PI components. We want to use Solution Manager 4.0 to setup monitoring for these 2 systems. Any guide or documentation will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Arshish

Hi Arshish,
To setup monitoring you will first have to include these systems in the system landscape of SAP solution Manager 4.0 in transaction SMSY.
The steps in the order are :
1. Create Server ( Server name ,IP and Fully qulaified Host name)
2.Create Database (Give the database you are using)
3.Then you have to create the system itself. and give the information as required.You will be able to do it when you will go through it.
Then you have to generate the RFC's from solution manager to satellite systems and back.These RFC's have to be trusted.Assign role SAP_S_RFCACL or profile S_RFCACL to the users in SOLMAN as well as satellite system.
Follow these steps and create a Logical component for the system that you have added.
Follow these steps first.More information can be found out on
service.sap.com\solutionmanager
or you can look for the RKT'S on service marketplace.If you need any furthur assistance do reply back.
please award points if found helpful
Best Regards

Migrating an Solution Manager 7.1 running in Oracle to HANA

Hi SAP experts,
     We were planning to migrate our Solution Manager 7.1 database running in Oracle to HANA.
     We will do a classical migration in which we will be splitting the Java and ABAP stacks and do a database export then migrate to HANA based on this article Classical Migration to SAP HANA)
     Is the approach sufficient for migration or are there any options in which we could migrate an existing Solution Manager 7.1 database to HANA?
Regards,
Manuel

Hi,
suppose nothing specific to solution manager
As per the knowledge source, you can either try typical OS/DB migration. But this can be accelerated by DMO also Migration to HANA made easy with DMO
the best suggested option could be via DMO , it was also specified in sap courses. might be this also can help Migration of SAP Systems to SAP HANA
Thanks

Search & Install SAP Notes using Solution Manager

Does anyone have specific documentation on how to search and install SAP notes using Solution Manager. I have read numerous times about this capability but have not found any success finding specific info on how this is done.
Can someone please share their experience? Can you also provide some documentation?
Thank you

Dear Ramesh,
Like what Rajeev has mentioned, you can use transaction tab in your message/ticket for searching for note or even deploying to satellite system.
for this in solman you need to maintain these 2 enties, so that it takes you to service market place.

Using Solution Manager 4.0 to control SLD

Hello everyone:
I've installed SolMan 4.0 on an Instance, and in another instance, a whole NetWeaver stack 2004s. Now I'm configuring XI and as a pre-req I need SLD configured.
My question is, do I need to configure it on SolMan, or just in the Java side of my installation? if I do it only on JAva, will I be able to "see" it on the Sol Man?
Thanks a lot!
Alejandro

Hi Alejandro,
You just need one central SLD for all your landscape, you just need to decide where to put it. Is not true that you must have a local SLD for XI, XI needs an active SLD but can be local or remote.
You can configure one CENTRAL SLD for all your systems, first decide which will be your SLD, then you can configure all your systems to "send" their own information to the CENTRAL sld. see the link: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/43/01ea90ab24235de10000000a1553f7/frameset.htm in the secction "Configuring Systems to Connect to SLD".
When you finish with this all your systems will be sending their information to the SLD periodically.
SolMan and XI uses the information stored in the SLD to opperate correctly, so now you must do some customizations in order to have SolMan and XI reading information from SLD.
In the case of SolMan you can make some customizations in order to have the landscape (SMSY) up to date using the SLD as data source. Do not get confused with the SLD and the transaction SMSY because there are different things.
Read the document "How to: Exchanging System Data between SMSY and SLD " from the link below:
https://websmp209.sap-ag.de/~form/sapnet?_FRAME=OBJECT&_HIER_KEY=501100035870000009816&_HIER_KEY=601100035870000154900&_HIER_KEY=701100035871000330691&_SCENARIO=01100035870000000202&#HOME
And XI is the same thing. You can configure it to connect to your central SLD. look on the post installation of your XI version.
In our case we have one central SLD instaled on the java stack of our solution manager server, and we have one server form BW, another server for Enterprise Portal, and another server for PI (previuously called XI). All of them sends their own information to SLD. And Portal, XI and SolMan reads information from the central SLD. So now our SMSY in SolMan is allways up to date, also XI.
Regards.
