Establishing current business process baseline in Solution Manager
Hello Guru,
We had implemented ECC 5.0 a year ago.
We had used business blueprint SOLAR01, SOLAR02, to document some of the business processes. We found ourself currently have an incompleted business process blueprint.
We want to use Solution Manager to manage the ECC 6.0 upgrade, how do we establish the current business process baseline?
Is there a tool that will browse through ECC 5.0, and create business process map of what the current business processes that have been implemented, and the configuration objects that have been customized?
Thanks in Advance,
Anny
Hi Anny,
I am afraid there isn't a tool that can help retrospectively build SOLAR01 or SOLAR02 related structure and contents.
The only three possible areas for exploration I can suggest for you to investigate further, are:
(1) Use of Reverse Business Engineer (RBE)
(2) Use of SAP TAO to at least build Testing scope retrospectively
(3) Seek any views from IDS-Scheer on whether they have any plug ins for ARIS that can do a retrospective process mapping
Best regards,
Srini

How to downloadin Business Process Repository in Solution Manager?
Hello,
Does anybody know how to download whole Business Process Repository from solution manager?
I know how to download BPR, that are related to project, to excel file, but I want to download all the scenarios,processes are inbuilt to the Solution Manager business blueprint.
Can anybody help me?
Thanks,
MahanteshHello Mahantesh,
I suppose that your idea behind this question is that you would like to browse the contents of the BPR. For this specific pupose, SAP will deliver a new web dynpro application with SAP Solution Manager 4.0 SP 12 and the respective stack coming out mid June 2007 which allows you to browse all BPR contents in your SAP Solution Manager system. So you no longer have to create a seperate project and select the contents via F4 value help in SOLAR01 in order to access the contents.
For further updates, please check the news mid June:
<a href="http://service.sap.com/solutionmanager">http://service.sap.com/solutionmanager</a>
Media Library -> Technical Papers. It will probably be called: "4.0 Support Package Stack <latest stack> [probably stack 12]"
However, please note that an individual download of the entire or partial BPR structures into MS Excel will not be possible.

Business Process Procedure from SOlution Manager
Hello Gurus,
I am working on technical upgradation from 4.7 E to ECC 6.0. We will have to create Business Process Procedures for each module. Could you please tell me how we need to extract the BPPS from solution manager.
Thanks and Regards,
Pavan P.Hi Pavan,
The way to extract from BPS may be a long drawn one. The shorter way is to attempt the following:
Go to http://service.sap.com/solutionmanager, supply your OSS ID and password.
a) On the left hand panel, go to SAP Solution Manager in Detail -> Implementation -> Implementation Content
OR
b) Downloads -> view screen on the right hand side and then click on "overview of the current implementation content".
I'll try to figure out any other way and get back to you.
Best regards,

Business process (Integration) monitoring - Solution Manager?
Hi Experts
I have a requirement here for business process monitoring at my client. The client wants to have a solution for monitoring of few key business processes for example incoming orders. The flow data flow is as follows: third party system -> AS2 -> XI1 ->XI2 -> MQ->ERP. Ideally, all the incoming messages should be processed within 3 minutes of sending by thirdy party system. The basic requirement from business to have a view of the number of messages sent by the external system and numbers of orders created in the system and if there is any message with processing time of more than 3 minutes, it should be reported. Also, if there is any failure in any of the points of failure - the reason of failure needs to be reported
I am thinking of using solution mnaager diagnostics and willy introscope for collecting data from XI Adapter framweork and Integration engine and the ERP system.
My queries -
Can solution manager fetch the data from non SAP system - AS2 service/MQ etc? if yes, how?
The solution i am thinking of - is it good one or is there any better solution - light weight/performance efficient?
In case i go ahead with the approach mentioned above, would there be an extra licensing cost for installing SMD agents and Willy on different applications?
Can we do a simple reporting i ERP system by fetching data from XI1 & XI2 systems? I understand that it wouldnt give us any details of the Java components or non SAP applications, but keeping in mind the limitations, is it a viable solution?
Any inputs would be great.
RegardsHI Ethan,
I'm not sure about the BPMon framework in Sol MAn 7.0 if it can be used with PI or not. I remember from teched that the end-to-end monitoring for PI was available only in 7.1 and with SAP PI 711.
From what I know wily gives you information about the status on the system (CPU, memory consumption etc) and not about the message flow so you can still use it but for the technical monitoring set up.
Also in teched I have participated at a hands-on workshop (ALM361 [http://www.sapteched.com/emea/edu_sessions/session.htm?id=542]) where we enabled the BPMon framework to use webservices provided by a non-sap application.
Hope this helps.

Business Process Repository in Solution Manager
My question on the BPR is two-fold:
1) Where exactly is the file located in the marketplace to update the BPR for Solution Manager 4.0? I've looked and I've searched and have been unsucessful in finding it?
2) From the current BPR in Solution Manager is it possible to extract the data there into a csv, txt or xls file? I've seen another thread in the forum on extraction (a link was provided) and unfortunately the link that was provided did not hold the information required to answer this particular question?
Regards
DanHi Daniel,

How do you restrict access to a business process structure in Solution Mngr
We have set up a business process structure in Solution Manager that includes Finance to Manage and Hire to Retire.
Although it is Ok for people to display the documentation in each area, we do have the requirement that the people owning Finance to Manage should not able to change the documentation in Hire to Retire and visa versa. Is there a security object that restrict this access? Are there other ways doing this?
Thanks
PaulI am not a security person, but we have the following details in the profile. You can change these if you click on these areas changing it to display or change mode
SAP Solution Manager Tab AI_SA_TAB
--> SAP Solution Manager Tab
---> Activity 02, 90
---> Tab in SAP Solution Manager BCSETS, CONFIG, CUSTDOCU, GRAPHIC, IMG, ISSUE, (ETC.)

Hope this helps

Business Blueprint Structures in Solution Manager
Hi,
Can we change the structure node names under Business Blueprint tree on Solution manager. This is accessed by SOLAR01 transaction.
Thanks and Regards,
Vinayak ThoratHi Sai
answer is more simple the way you add standard business process in structure tab solar01, same way you can add master data or organization model for business process.
e.g.
you can add customer master or vendor master as a master data for a E2E process
in all the situation we use this because practically no process works without master data but its upto the level of documentation you want to make in solution manager rather than dumping project documents only and making it more meaningful by adding above
i hope you have got the answer now

EP/J2EE Process Monitoring in Solution Manager
Hello
I am currently in the process of connecting our EP system to solution manager. My question relates to monitor sets in RZ20. I have added our EP system to a custom monitor set. By default the system is configured to monitor the 3 main processes (Dispatcher, Server, SDM). Is it possible to change the Threshold values for one process, but leave the others?
When I change the memory threshold values for the server, it also changes the dispatcher.
Thanks

Upgrade process to SAP Solution Manager 7.1
Hello!
We use SAP EHP 1 for SAP Solution Manager 7.0 (SPS 26) and plan to upgrade to the new SAP Solution Manager 7.1.
We currently do not have Java Stack there.
Some questions about Upgrade process
1) Can a direct Upgrade from SAP EHP 1 for SAP Solution Manager 7.0 (SPS 26) to SAP Solution Manager 7.1 be realized?
2) Should we first install Java Stack and then proceed with the Upgrade or otherwise?
3) Will Windows 32 Bit and None-Unicode Version of SAP Solution Solution Manager be supported?
It will be great to get some helpful information.
kind regardsHello!
Trying to answer your question
1) As described in note 1244225, there no restriction to upgrade the Solman EHP1 to solman 7.1. Refer to the section:
In case you do not participate in this current Solution Manager 7.1 beta shipment there are no restrictions for implementing now SP stack 25 and upgrading in the future to an equivilant SP stack of release 7.1."
2) The Solman EHP1 must always be a dual stack system, I am not sure, how you are running the Solman EHP1 without a Java Stack, you should have one.
3) I am not sure if there will be a Solman 7.1 32Bit Non-UNICODE version. But, SAP recommends to run Solution Manager on Unicode (see also customer letter on http://service.sap.com/Unicode). At solman EHP1 there are some issues when running the system as Non_UNICODE, refer note 1383407.
I am not sure if I could clarify all your doubts.
You may check the following URL:

As this is a very new software there is few documents in it, but soon you should see a upgrade guide here.

Monitoring BI PROCESS CHAIN with Solution Manager BPMON
Hello,
I'm trying to setup the monitoring of BI process chain using the BPMON
I setup the process chain monitoring using BPmon application monitoring "BI Process Chain Monitoring" (BOBIPCMO)
but than I'm not able to read the process chain names,steps,and variant from satellite system
On other systems,using different application monitor (like PI MONITOR) is working fine
i'm using the latest plug-in ST-A/PI 01L_BCO700 on entire landscape
My bi system is 7.01 EHP1 sp4
solution Manager is 7.01 EHP1 SP20
Any suggestiions?
Thanks
MarcoHello Marco,
the problem is that the Process Chain monitor is not yet available with ST-A/PI 01L*. Unfortunately the empty hull that you see during the setup was shipped without the proper content. The Process Chain monitor will be properly shipped with the next ST-PI and ST-A/PI combination in Q2/2010.
Sorry for any inconvenience caused.
If you want to have this monitor earlier on it could be implemented via Customer Exit in case that you have some MaxAttention or Safeguarding engagement.
Best Regards

Compare and adjust business processes to a solution directory
Dear all,
I'm having truble with viewing changes that I have made in my maintenance project, using the compare and adjust function. Can you please tell me what I'm doing wrong?
These are the steps I took:
1. I chose a solution using transaction SOLUTION_MANAGER.
2. I have made the solution settings, including creating a maintenance project, and enabling the check out/ check in & history functions.
3. Added business scenarios to the solution directory (some I chose from a project, and some I have created manualy).
4. Checked the Scenarios out to the maintenance project.
5. Made some changes in the maintenance project, including adding documents and transactions (transaction SOLAR01).
6. Changed my user-specific settings to comparison mode - "display changes made in original".
7. Checked the edited business scenarions back into the solution directory. I have checked, and the changes I've made in the maintenance project apeared now in the solution directory.
Now starts the trouble...:
8. I checked the scenarios out again from the solution directory to the maintenance project.
9. Went to transaction SOLAR_PROJECT_ADMIN, marked the maintenance project line, and did "compare and adjust" of a "new version of original" .
10. Went back to SOLAR01 and try to view the changes I have made in the maintenance project. I CAHNGES I'VE MADE ARE NOT MARKED...
Sorry for the long description. Can you please help?
Thank you,
AdiAdi,

Hi Bob. I found this thread from quite a while ago. I attempted to delete the .vsv file but it was in use by vpc.exe. Once I killed that process I was able to delete the .vsv file (Almost 600Mb). But when I launch the Virtual Machine after deleting the .vsv,
I still get the error and that .vsv file (same size) is back where it was. Am I doing something wrong? Its almost like it is pulling that file back from somewhere. Thank you in advance for your time.
John WoelzHello,
deleting the .vsv file is just a temporary fix for a virtual machine that's
stuck in an indeterminate state. It's basically like pulling the power
plug on a real PC.
The .vsv gets created again anytime you start XP Mode.
It sounds like your problem may be more that something is blocking the
communications with XP Mode. Perhaps a firewall or antivirus product. You
could try disabling those temporarily to see if it makes any difference.
There's also a couple RDP updates that don't play nice with XP Mode, but it
doesn't sounds like that's the exact same problem. It's KB2592687, and you
can try uninstalling that to see if it helps.

Event-driven process chains(EPCs) in solution manager
where can I find EPCs in solution manager?
Hi,
Based on my experience, please find below mentioned my comments.
You will need to model your business process in some modelling tool. I would recommend ARIS for this. Once the processes are modelled you can link them to the BBP in Solution Manager.
Please go through the Business Process Modelling and Solution Manager forums where in you can get some got blogs posted by experts.
