CHARM during implementation phase possible?

Hi Gurus
I would like to know the constraints of implementing CHARM during the implementation phase of the project.
I am aware that, charm functionality is best suitable for post go live change tracking tool and it is not recommended during the implementation phase. But I would like to know the reasons behind not recommending CHARM during implementation phase.
Please provide your valuable inputs.
Thanks.

Hi,
The following may not be the detailed reasons behind not recommending CHARM during implementation phase.
Implementation Project u2013 A project to implement SAP solution as a part of regular implementation or a roll out. This is considered for single-site implementations. Predefined scenarios can be selected from template projects.
Change Request Management (ChaRM) is an SAP tool to manage all those activities performed between the design of a change and the final promotion to a productive system
ChaRM can:
o Improve efficiency and transparency of change management processes
o Minimize business disruptions
o Store documentation of implemented changes
o Track and monitor changes
o Improve audit process
o Reduce risk of correction and project failures
ChaRM benefits are:
o Allow the Organization to control and manage changes in the SAP system effectively
o Guarantee that any change to the SAP system follows the standard process flow and procedures with mandatory controls and documented steps
o Effectively adheres to requirements for SOX compliance
Please also go through [this|http://www.sap.com/community/webcast/2009_06_worldtour_fr/2009_06_Worldtour_SOL1_SAP_fr.pdf] document.
Hope it helps.

Hi Friends,
During the implementation diff. modules are tobe implemented. Each module has 1 consultant i.e., FI, MM, SD, CO consultants. here my question is.....
Each consultant will be prepare AS-IS & TO-BE documents for their respective modules i.e.,

Dear Anita,
Yes u r right that Each consultant will be prepare AS-IS & TO-BE documents for their respective modules but these BBP's are not mixed up.
The rules of each consultant in phase 2 i e Business Blue Prints is to created bbp's or say Document which is going to configure in the SAP system along with core users.
AS - IS means what futures client's are using in the Legacy System
TO- BE mean what futures we are giving to client according to thier Legacy System
Hope u will Undersatnd.

Bw implementation phases

Hi gurus,
In a bw implementation project 5 phases are there.
As a bw consultant in that five phases what is our responcibilities.
points will be assigned.
Thanku

Hi Chinnu,
Phase 1: Upgrade Project Preparation -
The purpose of this phase is to provide initial planning and preparation for your R/3 upgrade project. Although each upgrade project has unique objectives, scope and priorities, the steps in Phase 1 help identify and plan the primary topics that must be considered.
Phase 2: Business Blueprint -
The purpose of this phase is to establish a common understanding in your company about how the new R/3 release will handle your current business processes after the R/3 upgrade.
Phase 3: Realization of DEV and QAS -
The purpose of this phase is to perform the upgrade of all non-production R/3 Systems, which normally include development (DEV) and quality assurance (QAS) systems, and to ensure the quality of this upgrade process by comprehensive testing. You need to upgrade your DEV and QAS systems before performing the upgrade for your production system (PRD). Furthermore, you will develop your end user documentation and training in this phase.
Phase 4: Realization of Production -
The purpose of this phase is to complete the final preparation for the upgrade of the production R/3 System, and end user training, if necessary. On the successful completion of this phase, you are ready to run your business in your upgraded production R/3 System.
Phase 5: Go Live and Support -
The purpose of this phase is the transition from your previous R/3 System to a newly upgraded and improved R/3 System. Be aware that you must set up an ongoing support organization to service your R/3 users, both during the first few days of your upgraded production operations, and on an ongoing basis.

Responsibilities of an implementation project...
For ex, Lets say If its a fresh implementation of BI or for that matter you are implementing SAP...
First and foremost will be your requirements gathering from the client. Depending upon the requirements you will creat a business blueprint of the project which is the entire process from the start to the end of an implementation...
After the blue print phase sign off we start off with the realization phase where the actual development happens... In our example after installing the necessary softwares, patches for BI we need to discuss with the end users who are going to use the system for inputs like how they want a report to look like and what are the Key Performance Indicators(KPI) for the reports etc., basically its a question and answer session with the business users... After collecting those informations the development happens in the development servers...
After the development comes to an end the same objects are tested in quality servers for any bugs, errors etc., When all the tests are done we move all the objects to the production environment and test it again whether everything works fine...
The Go-Live of the project happens where the actually postings happen from the users and reports are generated based on those inputs which will be available as an analytical report for the management to take decisions...
The responsibilites vary depending on the requirement... Initially the business analyst will interact with the end users/managers etc., then on the requirements the software consultants do the development, testers do the testing and finally the go-live happens...

Project duration as per implementation phases

Divide project duration as per implementation phases?

Dear Gopala Rao,
It actually depends on various factors, such as :
1. how many modules they want to implement.
2. Team Size.
3. Organizational Structure (Volume of data)
4. Legacy System
5. Business Complexity etc.
There is no hard and fast rule that every project should be completed in a particular duration of time. Depending on the above factors, it may vary any where from 6 months to 18 months or so. (Approximately, it may be less than 6 months or more than 18 months in some exceptional cases).
Usually it is divided into phases:
1. Project Preparation : Project team, infrastructure, Software, Steering committe etc will be identified in this phase.
2. Business Blue Print : Re-engineering of Business process and BBP sign off.
3. Realization : Analysing Gap and Realization of possible customization and development effort
4. Final Preparation and Go Live : Development and Configuration
5. Post Go Live support : Support after go live
You would allot specific time periods for each of these phases and will set milestones accordingly.
or it could even be like :
Project Start
Analysis
Design
Design Freeze / Client Sign-off
Construction
Testing
Implementation
Project End
Project Management Framework
Post Close Review
Training
Change Management
Refer following links for more info:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAP_Implementation
http://www.sapfans.com/sapfans/asap/be_01_e.htm
There are different flavors of project implementations.
1. Template implementation - without much customization - based on a predefined rollout template
2. CUstom rollout
3. Ramp up rollout
4. Enhancements to an existing implementation
5. project recovery
The project life cycle consists of [1] Project Charter,[2]Scope,[3] planning,[4]Execution,[5]Control and [6] closure.
Charter tells you the purpose of the project,for example,to eliminate an expensive Transmission process by implementing EDI.
Scope tells what all you will be doing in the project.In SAP,this is Blue printing.
planning:Here you plan the capital Expenditure - capital budgeting,Expenses,Revenue,Resources and other elements that go in to the project.
projectExecution : Actual execution of the planned activities
Control:Here you steer the project towards the intended goals-variance analysis,cost Reduction,Value engineering,budget,standards,fast tracking,crashing,Resource allocation etc etc ,....all find a role here.Here Time,Cost and the other resources are controlled so as to complete the project in time and within the cost baselines.
Testing also comes here-unit test,integration test,UAT........
Closure:The project sign off takes place here.
In the support Environment the "project" will cover a]incident management,b] problem management,c]change management,d]configuration management e] Release management and f] help desk.
Reward points if it is helpful.
Thanks and Regards,
Naveen.

Oracle EBS R12 Pre - Implementations phase question air

Oracle EBS R12 Pre - Implementations phase question air
Posted: Jun 30, 2009 10:22 AM Edit Reply
Dear all Gurus,
We are going to implement Oracle EBS r12, for industrial concern, we have following quires if any peer may suggest.
1) we heard the oracle R12 has build new release with 11g db , is it been practical for choosing it for corporate ???
2) Linux Read hat which version is more stable like 5 releases is compatible with R12 new release?
3) We are also thinking for 64 bit architecture rather than 32 bit, could any one figure out the practical pros and cons for this.
4) We are also wondering about the server machine brand and its configurations like HP DL380 G6, DELL 2850? could any one share abut his experience about the same.
5) What sort of Server configurations (Processor , 2way -4way , RAM , HD and other accessories ) for r12 Multi node setup for 150 clients (DB Server , Apps Server , Test Prod )
6) What should be backup strategies like tap backup and how much space requirements we must have provisioned for retaining almost 2~3 month backup.
7) Application implementations methodologies?
8)
I know to address our queries would be time consuming for you bust peoples , but I would really oblige for being shared your journey this would defiantly the PATH way for other like mentoring for others.
looking forward your valuable instructions ASAP.

Newbie: where is the implementation of connections between process steps

Hi !
I'm just starting with Solution Manager and trying to understand this concept. Once you graphically connect some process steps in the business blueprint to represent the processing sequence, then how do you really implement that logic to be executed? is it mapped somehow automatically to a SAP workflow?
Thanks.
Regards,
Matias.

Hi. Thanks for your comment. What I meant is for example, if you go to https://implementationcontent.sap.com/bpr , then to Business Process Repository -> Organizational Areas -> Sales -> Business Processes ->Account identification -> SAP CRM 4.0 and choose the Graphic tab on the right, you see a business process model of the scenario. In that graphic, for example, "Answer contact" is linked or connected to "Identify account and contact person"..what does this connection mean in the realization or implementation phase? would there be some kind of workflow configuration ?will be the second transaction or step automatically called after the execution of the first one?
Thanks!

Matias.

Implementation Phases in ASAP Method

Hi Gurus,
Can anybody explain me the following.
a) Implementation phases in ASAP method
b) Detailed activities in each phase.
Please forward me documentation, if any.
Regards,
Santosh

When you open ASAP it will show you all phases and activities you have to do.
You can follow the method ASAP or only use some part out it.
The phases are the same as all project methods only the names are different
ASAP is now replaced by solution manager. When you don't have ASAP it is better to use solution manager

Error while activating the Implementation class of a BADI ?

Hello,
I am trying to activate a BADIi but its implementation class(ZCL_IM_DSD_ADD_CUST_IN_DNL) is not getting activated and giving the following object error on activation.
CPUB ZCL_IM_DSD_ADD_CUST_IN_DNL
and it says that "INCLUDE report "ZCL_IM_DSD_ADD_CUST_IN_DNL====CL" not found , where "DSD_ADD_CUST_IN_DNL" is the Impl. name of the definition "/DSD/ME_BAPI" implementing the interface "/DSD/IF_EX_ME_BAPI".
what am i missing here. Big time help will be extremely appreciated ..
Thanks a ton.

Hi,
I had a quick qn,
Normally, the implementation name should start with Z. Can you create using the name 'DSD_ADD_CUST_IN_DNL' ? or are you using any access key (SSCR)?
For the infm, I have just tried to create one Z implementation in my system and it works fine. Could you please delete the current implementation and try it once again ?

How to use the implementation class in propetty pallete

Hi,
I am using forms 10g....I have to insert horizontal scroll bar in text item..
I have only class files instead of jar files ...how cani place the class file instead of jar file...
How to use the implementation class in property palette to display the PJC
Thanks,
Ansaf.

The Implementation Class must reflect the full name of the class. For instance, if the full class name is : xx.yyy.zz.class_name, then put this in the Implementation Class property of the corresponding item.
Also, the class must be stored in the equivalent directory structure, so that, in my example: <DEV_HOME>/forms/java/xx/yyy/zz

How can I remove the moon phases from iCal?

I need to remove ALL the moon phases that appear in iCal 5.0.3. Every time iCloud updates it sends 6 to 10 moon events to my MacBook Pro. Going forward 3 0r 4 months, there are too many moon phases. How can I remove the moon phases from iCal?
I am on a MacBook Pro 2.2 with 4 GB using Mountain Lion 10.7.5.

Try:
items.RemoveAll(s => string.IsNullOrEmpty(s));
Or you can filter them out using where:
var noEmptyStrings = items.Where(s => !string.IsNullOrEmpty(s));

Possible to skip the validate phase in a valuechangelistener?

Hi,
I'm using MyFaces 1.1.6. Does anyone know how I can skip the validation phase of the JSF lifecycle from within a valuechangelistener method? I'm trying this ...
    public void updateTimePrefs(ValueChangeEvent vce) {
        vce.setPhaseId(PhaseId.UPDATE_MODEL_VALUES);
    }but it is not working (Validation errors get displayed). Ultimately, what I want to do is change the value of a selectOneMenu on my page when the value of a text field changes, but since I'm just reloading the page with new selectOneMenu list items, I don't want to annoy the user with validation errors.
Thanks, - Dave

Hi again,
1. Its absolutely true that
   the whole data of TABU-contents,
   (all the records with the primary key specified)
are,
in fact,
contained (with the full data)
in the data file.
2. Its the same mystery, as it was in the beginning.
3. Nobody has found out the
   encryption/format
   of this file.
4. In other words,
   its just like an winzip file,
   which contains data.
to use this winzip file,
we need the software 'Winzip'.
