Implementation Phases - Which is toughest of all?

Out of 5 phases of ASAP Methodology, which phase is considered as the most Challenging phase in SAP-HR Implementation?

Hi,
Although all five phases have their own difficulties, I do attach the greatest importance to business blueprint phase in my projects. This is because, in this phase you determine the backbone of your system and all subsequent phases are built upon this backbone structure. Any error in the backbone would require a great deal of re-work.
Best regards,
Dilek

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • Design Problem : How to design/code a java client which is deployed to all the machines in a cluster and make sure that only one of the java client is active

              hi ,
              I have to design a java client (which is basically a JMS message listener)which
              is deplloyed to all the servers in the cluster. But as these are message listeners,
              i want only one of the instance to be active at a time.
              If the server on which the client is active goes down , I want the second server
              to start listening to messages.
              How do i design this ? Also is there a public api for multicasting that we can
              use ?
              Anybody has an idea on how to go about this..
              Thanks

    Hi Nisha,
              Failover message listeners? Sounds like you want MDBs, which are deployed on all nodes in a
              cluster. If your JMS destination is a queue, then only one MDB will pick up the message. And just
              like any other ejb service, MDBs failover.

  • HT5318 Ever since I updated what looked like iTunes 10.6.1 my computer has been corrupted with Malware, which has filled up all available space on my hard drive.  What do I do to get rid of the Malware?

    Ever since I updated what looked like iTunes 10.6.1 my computer has been corrupted with Malware, which has filled up all available space on my hard drive.  What do I do to get rid of the Malware?

    First, reboot. That will temporarily free up some space. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB free for normal operation. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of your data.
    Use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the space.
    Proceed further only if the problem hasn't been solved.
    ODS can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To really see everything, you have to run it as root.
    First, back up all data if you haven't already done so. No matter what happens, you should be able to restore your system to the state it was in at the time of that backup.
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
    After installing ODS in the Applications folder, drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
    sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
    You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up.
    I don't recommend that you make a habit of this. Don't delete anything while running ODS as root. When you're done with it, quit it and also quit Terminal.

  • In adobe Acrobat X pro, in edit--preferences-identity, it introduces my name which then is on all documents. I want my name to be removed. What do I have to do?

    In adobe Acrobat X pro, in edit--preferences-identity, it introduces my name which then is on all documents. I want my name to be removed. What do I have to do?

    Is this in the signature appearance? If so you can customize signature appearance so that it contains only items that you want. In Acrobat X you do that in Edit->Preferences->Security, "New" in the "Appearances" section.

    is it illegal to record a conversation without the other caller knowing?
    That depends on where you are... In the state of New Jersey, where I live, I believe that it is legal to record a conversation if at least one party to that conversation knows that it is being recorded, and there is no legal duty to inform the other party that the conversation is being recorded.
    This means that I could legally record all conversations I have with other people within the state of NJ, and likewise anybody whom I call or who calls me can record out conversations. However, it would be illegal for a third party to record out conversation without our knowledge and consent.
    Now the situation becomes more complex if I call somebody, or somebody calls me, across state lines... I've not made a study of the laws in every state, but I would not be surprised if there are states where both parties must give consent for the conversation to be recorded. This is probably the reason for the announcement "your call may be monitored and recorded for quality purposes" at the beginning of every call to customer support... 
    Wikipedia has a useful introductory article, and a quick Google search turns up much more information.

  • Need a solution to create BOM which will work for all Component category

    Hi All,
    I want to create BOM.
    I am using LSMW (std batch input program RCSBI010).
    After execution I came to know that it will not work for if Item category (STPO-POSTP) = 'D' (Document).
    Can Anyone tell me Is there any way to create Material BOm which will work for all kinds of component(Item)Category.
    Below are the diffnt types of Item Category:
    ICt Item category text         
    A   Alloy Item                 
    D   Document item              
    I   PM structure element       
    K   Class item                 
    L   Stock item                 
    M   Phantom material           
    N   Non-stock item             
    R   Variable-size item         
    T   Text item                  
    X   Coded, Non-Stock Item

    Dear Amit,
    1.Is the production BOM containing all these item categories?
    2.It seems there are some additonal item categories apart from standard item categories(A Alloy Item ,M Phantom material ,
    X Coded, Non-Stock Item) for which you have to identify for which fields the value will be populated.
    3.In my understanding it's possible through a BDC recording through T.code SHDB and befor this activity discuss the same with
    your ABAP consultant as it involves some text items too.
    check and revert back.

    After moving all photographs from my first catalogue, which was a mess, to a new catalogue, it all worked fine. Until that is I tried to open the new catalogue, which had worked OK all day. I now get a window that says "Unexpected error, select another catalogue."

    OK, restart in Safe Mode, this will clear some caches. It's possible one or more is corrupt. To restart in Safe Mode when you hear the start up tone hold down the Shift Key until you see a progress bar. Let it fully boot then restart normally and test.
    Also I am assuming you have checked Finder - Preferences  - General and see what boxes are checked in "Show these items on desktop." You can also mount an item in Disk Utility, simply highlight it and then look in the File menu for Mount.....

    I have an iphone 4 8gig there is 2.4 gig of "other" showing on my usage which is more than all other data on the phone.  What is it and how do I delete some to clear space?

    Sorry. We can't help you. It's no longer an iPhone. Apple won't touch it.
    Take it to whoever replaced the screen and see if they can help you.
    iPhones are not user servicable and Apple does not sell iPhone parts at all. I'd be surprised if you were actually able to back it up at this point. It sounds like it's completely borked.

  • How can I know about the latest updates / versions which when available for all the CC products, without having to install and check it with the Desktoip Creative Cloud Application ?

    How can I know about the latest updates / versions which when available for all the CC products, without having to install and check it with the Desktoip Creative Cloud Application ?

    Thanks for looking into this Jeff!
    I work with an Inventory module software and is responsible for software detection across several computers. Once an updated version comes up, I update our database with latest software details to get it detected if installed on any machines.
    The problem tracking updates with Desktop Creative Cloud Software are;
    1)We have to have it installed with the CC applications in-order to get the notification of the latest updates and have to check everyday.
    2)Only relates to the latest updates, so in-between we may miss a prior update unknowingly.Hence, the remote machines having those updates may not get  detected with the software version update which would create problem in reporting.
    3)For all CC products, there is no base or previous updates available for installation if we miss one.
    I went through the Adobe Products Update pages [Product updates] which holds good when it comes to Acrobat and Reader software which I follow to track down any newer updates but this is inconsistent when it comes to CC products like in After Effects CC, Dreamweaver CC etc...
    So overall to be very specific, is there any one channel I can follow to get the notifications only for the updates on CC products and then may be I can rely on Desktop Creative Cloud for installation if not available anywhere like in product update pages of Adobe ?

    Any suggestions??
    Thanks

    Hi Jiri,
    I dont know abt folios..I ll go thru it now..
    When coming to the option a)
    When we are calling Search service it will return resultset which contains meta data(Filename,File Id,URL,etc.....) for list of files in the folder. Now what i do to display image is , using this URL i ll bulid image object using this URL and i ll display it on the webpage(This web page contains Silver light component to display these images.)
