DMS and cFolders for requirements management

Hello SAP Gurus
Iam suggesting SAP DMS and cFolders for requirements management for an Automobile OEM client.
The requirements documents consist of software, hardware, mechanical etc...
Did any of you implement these modules for a similar scenario?
I want to know the expert feedback in this scenario.
Regards
Prasad K

Hi Prasad,
Given the way i understand 'Requirements Management', it's a holistic approach which includes identification, documentation, analysis, prioritization and agreement on requirements and then controlling the changes and communicating it to relevant internal and external stakeholders.
This is an ongoing process throughout a project.
In this perspective, DMS(for handling documentation),c-folders(collaboration,communication wrt ERP objects like docs,BoM et-al),c-projects(colloborative pjt mgmt) and ECM(managing changes) would be an ideal proposition to handle requirements management in Automitive sector effectively. You may explore other solutions for a finer degree of control.

Using a single Content server for DMS and also for Archive link documents

Hi,
We have Planned for a single content server for managing the documents in DMS, parallelly as DMS Standard SAP objects are not available for all SAP transactions, i have proposed for making use of SAP Archivelink funtionality to maintain the documentations where Std SAP DMS does not provide a Solution.
so here the question is
can a single content server be used as a content repository for Both DMS and archivelink,
can any one having done this pls state if it is possible to create different or Many Content repositories for DMS, Archive link in the same server,
is this a virtual creation or can we assign each repository a specific storage space which it should not exceed.
Thanks and regards
Sathish

Hi sathish,
-- Through the ArchiveLink docuemnt Management interface, an SAP sytem can use various content servers as storage media. similarly, one contnent server can be used by multiple SAP systems.
-- A Content server always has a single database assigned to it. A database can therefore be used by only one content server.
-- A databse is split into as many repositories as necessary. The design of the repository is mapped in the SAP system.A repository contains documents.
Depending on your requirements,(if u have limited documents or with low requirements) you can use the same content server for both DMS and Archivelink.
The number of documents stored on the content server is limited only by the size of the database.
Its better to have an external content server for archiving purpose, if your database size is increasing. Since the archiving systems storage is not dependent on the database.
U can also refer to the below thread :
How to Archive SAP DMS Data?
hope this helps....

BM access rule and port for Web Manager

The Netware Webacess and the Netware Web Manager is working fine

WebAccess just (normally) wants port 80. You can static NAT it, or reverse
proxy it through BMgr. Older versions of BMgr (3.6 or earlier) put in
default filter exceptions for reverse proxy (both port 80 and 443), but
later versions require you to add your own filter exceptions.
NetWare Web Manager - do you mean for Novonyz Web Server? If so, the port
used depends on what you configured for it. You could use static NAT, or
generic tcp proxy, or (I think) reverse proxy for whatever port Web Manager
is using. Newer web manager for Apache uses port 2200, I think.

Difference in storage method for DMS and Services for Object

Hi-
Our R/3 version is: 4.7 Enterprise.
In most (if not all) of the transactions users execute, there is a feature where they can attach a file using "Services for Object" from their PC to the associated record (i.e. material master, purchase orders, service notifications, etc.)
What I would like to know is where the document is stored. From what I found on help.sap.com it says that it is a link from the user's PC. But I would guess it is storing a copy of the file as a blob on the R/3 server somewhere. Is this true? Or is there a risk if the user's harddrive dies, that the file is no longer available for viewing?
I am trying to determine the difference between using the Services for Object feature vs. DMS and setting up an object link for the specific object type (i.e. material).
Thanks!
-Jenn

I found the following about Services for Objects:
Business Workplace
The documents that were appended to an object using Create attachment and Create note are stored in the Business Workplace. There, for example, you can make settings for where the documents should be stored (R/3 System or Web Server) and which document classes may be loaded in the SAP System (for example DOC, but not EXE).
Sending is also carried out internally using the Business Workplace. Messages are created that contain a link to the object as an attachment. By double-clicking on the attachment, the users can call the default method of the object. This is normally the display method.

Derivation of DARBEG and DAREND for Limit Management

Dear all,
we are using Limit Management for many years now, but the two fields DARBEG and DAREND in Table JBKLOBJ1 are not filled.
I assumed that these fields are filled automatically but this is wrong.
How should these fields be filled? Can anybody help me?
Best regards
Marcus

You can use these fields to limit the duration of validity of financial object.
The validity of a financial object is not used in any analytical question. So, it would be easy to just not fill it in. However, it is still recommend diligence in filling it in, preferably with a few days extra at the beginning and end of the actual validity of the financial object. Correctly specified validity can be used to achieve a significant performance boost in your system.
Example1: consider a report in the Analyzers that uses the specified selection criteria to select and process a set of financial objects with their underlying financial-instrument positions. If a validity entry is available for the financial object and the date in questionlies outside that validity, then even in the first selection step, before the selection is forwarded to the original data store in the Transaction Manager, the financial object can be filtered out of the selected set. On the other hand, if you neglect to maintain validity entries, the central access logic has to consult the underlying financial instrument positions instead. Then, all flows are selected and totaled up by the selector in the Transaction Manager, only then to determine that the total is zero and that the position is irrelevant. The result is the same for filled and unfilled validity. The second option, however, requires more time and capacity and thus puts load on the performance.

User Level Vs. Application Level Authorization and Authentication for Container Managed Datasources (Oracle Connection Pools)

Oracle Database Server 9i supports the usage of LABELS to enforce highly granular
resource access restrictions at the database level independent of the application
that is accessing it. In order to use this however, the particular user, and
not just the application, accessing the database must be known. Oracle Application
Server (Oracle's J2EE product line) solves this by providing the ability to PROXY
the identity of the application user and creditials (SSL Certs for instance) down
to the database server.
I haven't seen a similar ability for BEA Weblogic Server 8.1 which allow the user
identity and credientials to be PROXIED to the database server. Is this possible?
Have I missed an important document?
Thanks for any input,
Raymond Tiong

I think there is a section in the JDBC documentation for 8.1 which
describes what it takes to utilize Oracle 9i extension called "Virtual
Private Database". With this extension, one might be able to proxy the
callers
identity to the DB.
See: http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs81/jdbc/thirdparty.html#1103627

PLM7.0 with easyDMS and cFolders

Hi,
Could someone please describe how SAP PLM7.0 solution interfaces with easy DMS and cFolders.Has anyone used these components together? Please share your thoughts.
thanks,
Rahul

Hello Rahul,
The easy dms folder structure can be viewed from the Document Information Record in PLM 7.0
Coming to cFolders,
PLM 7.0 can be accessed from Enterprise portal, so your suppliers can access the product data which is required for them from it.
Otherwise cFolders can be used to exchange the product data as usual.

SCSM - SCOM Integration for Incident Management Automation(Auto-ticketing)

Hi Team
I have been doing lot of research on integrating SCSM and SCOM for Incident Management Automation(Auto-ticketing). I did configurations in SCSM, SCOM and it worked pretty well! :) However, I need some clarifications on Incident Priority calculations.
Environment - SCSM 2012 R2, SCOM 2012 R2
Objective - To automate Incident Management for Each Service, I have picked Lync 2013 for Pilot testing.
- Created SCOM Alert Connector action account
- Created 3 SCSM incident templates for Incident Priority calculations (P1, P2 and P3)
- Lync P1 Incidents (Impact - High, Urgency - High)
- Lync P2 Incidents (Impact - High, Urgency - Medium)
- Lync P3 Incidents (Impact - Medium, Urgency - Medium)
- Attached is our incident priority settings in SCSM.
- Created SCOM Alert Connector. In Alert Routing rules, I have picked couple of Lync classes (LS Registrar, LS Response Group, LS Data Conferencing, LS Centralized Logging Agent etc). (I don't want to target whole Lync MP as of now. Once the priority classification
is successful, I can target alerts from whole Lync MP.) While adding routing rules, I have selected the specific template for a specific class. For ex- LS Registrars class, P2 Incident template. Alerts that do not fit the routing criteria would pick up P3
template as default. Both check boxes "Close alerts in Ops Mgr when Incidents are resolved or closed" and "Resolve Incidents automatically when the alerts in Ops Mgr are closed" are checked.
- In SCOM internal connector subscription, I have targeted all Lync Servers group and selected ONLY specific Lync classes (In approve targets) that I used in routing rules. Enabled "Error, Warning" and "High, Medium" check boxes in alert
criteria
Now, the incidents are getting generated, but with wrong priority calculations. I may be wrong in configuring routing rules. Is there any best way to configure routing rules for different priorities? If I remove all routing rules for specific classes and target
entire Lync MP, how to configure the Incident Templates which I created for different priorities?
Any help is much appreciated.
regards,
Guru
Gururaj Pai

In Screenshot, it was a typo error in Rule Name, should have been Lync P3(Stupid error from my side!) Is it a correct of targeting individual classes in routing rules? Because, Any class may contain lot of rules/monitors in it. And if we choose P2 incident
template for one class, all alerts triggered out of this class would create P2 incidents. Is my understanding correct? Moreover, this just pilot testing of Lync MP and we have identified only few classes which are responsible for generating TOP 10 alerts for
last month. Going forward, we would like to configure the whole MP in routing rule. Then, how should I configure routing rules for 3 different priorities? Can you also confirm Incident Priority calculation is done via SCSM templates or SCOM alert priority
or severity? Thanks for your time. Guru

Process for applying for Solution Manager Key?

I have to install a NW2004s system in a AIX Machine.
I understand that i need a solution manager key for installation. We dont have solution Manager installed in our Landscape. But i came to know that i can request for a solution manager key from SAP
Please let me know the website, process for applying for Solution Manager key

Balaji,
This is interesting, SAP is pushing customers to have solution Manager installed with features like Solution Manager Key, Maintainance Optimizer etc. It will get difficult for customers who do not have solution Manager running on their site.
You will have to create support message under the component XX-SER-SMKEY and request for solution manager key, provide them all the details of your system.
Cheers,

SAP Landscape for ECC,EP,BW,XI, DMS and TREX

Hi all,
I am in the role of SAP Basis Consultant for an IT organisation. One of their client require to install SAP ECC ( FI-CO,MM,PS,HR,REM,PM), EP, BW, XI, DMS and TREX. Their plan is to use ECC 6.0 ( Netweaver 7.0 SR2) with EP 7.0 and all others are latest version. The Dev setup in WIndows-Oracle and production will be AIX-Oralce. In the Dev setup, install all the components in separate servers and in production it is to be combined as follows ERP+ SRM(later) in one server, EPXI in another server, BW in one server and DMSTREX in last one.
Here my doubt is, this installation plan will have any issue?.
Second, the data export from DEV ( windowsoracle) Production ( unix-AIXoracle) will have any issue?
Please reply with details. As the project is in the planning phase.
regards,
Siby Syriac.P

Hi Siby,
If your client need such a broad installation (SAP ECC ( FI-CO,MM,PS,HR,REM,PM), EP, BW, XI, DMS and TREX), I'm sure that they hired a Senior Project Manager together with a team of senior consultants in each of the areas to look after the implementation. Also i presume they have look into hardware requirements to ensure the landscape will deliver the adecuate performance to the target amount of concurrent users.
As far as i can see from the 10 lines you wrote, I can't see a QA environment been considered... which I think is a mistake (thats only my own opinion). I can't see any issues having DEV runnning Windows and PRD running AIX (As long that youre confortable working in both environments). About the installation plan is very difficult to tell by your 10 lines but I'll try avoid having two big systems in the same box as ECC and SRM.
Thats my 2 cents

Juan

When converting over to HTTPS and PKI for clients, not all actions are available in configuration manager cpl

I'm not exactly sure which forum heading this should go under so if this isn't correct please let me know or move it on my behalf.
So I am trying to setup Internet Based Client Management in SCCM 2012 R2 and have come across a few articles on how to do so. I think I have mostly gotten it to work but I seem to be having a client issue when deploying new machines. My already
deployed servers seem to have picked up the PKI setting no problem. In the past when I would deploy a new windows client everything would be fine. When i converted over to PKI in my test environment I am now having issues when I go to deploy a
new windows client. I don't get all of the Actions listed in the Configuration Manager control panel. All I have are Discovery Data Collection, Machine Policy Retrieval and Eval, User Policy Retrieval and Eval, and Windows Installer Source list Update
Cycles, before all of them would populate no problem. I have let this machine sit here for several hours and nothing has changed yet. It does say PKI for client certificate. Sometimes when I would deploy new machines it would say NONE for
Client certificate. In my production environment it says self-signed. I have found if i uninstall the client and re-install the client it does populate all of the cycles but I don't understand why it is not working on deployment.
Ok so maybe not all the time that when i reinstall the client it fixes it. I just did an uninstall and reinstall on a test client and all it has under actions are machine and user policy cycles.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Hi,
I think SCCM client installed before the GPO applied, so you don't a certificate available when it is required.
You can export and import the certificate by using MDT integration, try this blog for PKI part:
How To: Build and Capture in Configuration Manager 2012 using HTTPS
And in addition, you can upload the log to your onedrive so you can share with us.

Q&A db for warehouse management and inventory management

Hello Everybody,
i read on the help.sap website that standard as well as industry specific versions of Q&A db are available. but the website doesnt say where. i searched a lot but the links dont lead to the actual Q&A db.
i would like to request you to kindly share the Q&A db for inventory management and warehouse management with me as i need it for preparing the AS IS documentation.(preferably automotive industry but if not then even standard Q&A db is fine).
thanks a lot.
sapman.

Now QADB will not help to map the clinets requirement. Instead of QADB get AS IS information form Coreusers... thats best practice now....
