Integration of Charm and test work bench or customizing

Hello,
Solution Manager allows one to define the business processes. One can then define test cases for these business processes. Then one can use the test workbench to do the testing.
Is there any way to link the test workbench with Charm?
Are there any such plans for such integration?
Customizing can also be done from the business process definitions in a project. Are there any way that charm can be integrated to make changes in this way?
Regards,
Avrohom Weissman

This is very far from the type of integration I expect to see. Proper incident management means when a problem occurs and incident is logged into the sap service desk. If this incident requires a change it should be forwarded to the CHange Reqest Management (CHaRM). From there it should have a business impact analysis, then a system or architecture review, only then if it is approved should development be started, after the development, it goes into QA for testing. Since the business process is defined in the solman and there are test cases for this business process. It makes sense that one can use the test workbench to verify the business process, and document the testing. If there is a problem with the testing and it needs to go back to development, it should be connected to the same incident logged initially. There should not be a second problem logged. It is still part of the same incident and should be managed as such.
This question exists also for a maintenance project. Once I have an operational system and all the business process defined in the project and a change arrives into ChaRM, why canu2019t the change be done in the project like and implementation?
How can one find out the direction of this product? Does SAP have any plans to develop solman into an integrated tool or will it remain a bunch of simple tools that co-exist on the same server?

ChaRM and test management in implementation projects

Hi
I am doing implementation projects in solution manager. i have activated charm in the project so as to transport all the changes related to the project with the project lifecycle.
I have got confusions regarding CHarm and Test MAnagement.. when we activated CHaRM the tester can logon to the system and perform testing and pass the Change Document to the next phase.
What is the standard flow when both CHaRM and TEst Management for a project exists??
Thanks

Please can someone tell me how to use TEST MANAGEMENT and ChaRM for Implementation Project together??

Charm and Test workbench

We are using charm and would like it to link together with the test
workbench? In this way we will be able to use are test cases for the
defined processes in the testing in charm.
Does SAP have plans to link test workbench to charm?

Integration of CHARM and Document Management

Dear All
After a lot of time on sdn wiki and thanks to the key blogging contributors , I now have a decent understanding of how to configure CHARM
To go into more details, i would like to integrate CHARM with the Document Management within Solution MAnager
Would i be right to assume that this integration is currently today in use only by a few GXP kind of customers
But it seems the configuration of document management itself is not so difficult (eg creating document types, statuses, status schemes, signature strategy etc) The IMG has the steps described though in not great detail. Some topics are still bit specialized eg document versioning etc
I was wondering if someone who has already spent time in this area could write a SDN blog or SAP experts coudl write a wiki section
I see this as the next big improvement since everything would be out of the box and external document databases can be discarded etc
Also the workflow of informing and signing documents for clear visibility is on the same system etc
Some requirements could be
1) what could be the minimal document workflow
2) what kind of checks can be implemnet to prevent CD to move forward if a document is not in 'Approved' status
3) at what point could a QM come into picture
etc
Though the documentation is in bits and pieces, if we could have alll at one place - lets say how its done , would be very helpful
Like a Wiki or the SAP CHARM configuration guide
or like the ITSM book by Nathan Williams with illustrations :-)
Thx

Questions on Cad Integration- Solid Edge and Solid Works

Hello All,
I had the following questions related to CAD Integration:
1. I have my CAD files saved in working directory. I create DIR for them from CDESK (Cad View - Create Document) and want to rename the files as Document Number_Document Description. How can I achieve the same. Again, I want to do the same from CDESK (CAD VIEW)
2. On Solid Edge CAD integration, I have noticed sometimes when I register the DLL's the 'User/System Preferences from SAP-PLM' on Solid Edge side does not pop up. Can someone tell me what might be the reason and how to fix it. Also if I already registered the DLL's and want to clean them (remove them), so that to try to register DLL's again, where can I go to remove them from Windows registery file
3. In Solis Edge is it necessary to check in and check out the SEC application (representing .cfg ) in SEA document type. I have noticed if I have the .cfg in my working directory and I check in SEA without .cfg and if some other person checks out the SEA, the .cfg gets created for him on the fly in his working directory.
Thanks in advance,
Sachin

Hello Sachin,
1. please have a look at and implement note 645365 - "CDESK: Attaching Solid Edge .cfg file when creating doc.".
2. If you registered the DLL's once and you want to update them, you only have to copy and replace the old ones with the new ones. You do not have to un-register the old ones.
The problem with the disappearing Menu-Items or symbols can only be solved by restoring the SolidEdge-Registry-Path...
3. You can only checkout the CFG-Files if you use the CAD-Desktop.
You have to add the WSAPPL SEC (*.cfg) to the applications in the CDESK_CUS.
(CHECKIN, CHECKOUT and COPY)

MDG-Hub: Tried and tested methods for ECC customizing synchronization

MDG Experts, I am looking for guidance on synchronizing configuration and customizing data between ECC and an MDG-Hub. I reviewed documentation on (a) synchronizing via BC set import and (b) via TMS although I was looking for a little bit more detail and steps involved in setting up ongoing synchronization between ECC and an MDG-Hub.
I am looking for experiences and suggestions on this topic. Thanks in advance.

Hello Karthik
I have used - BC sets to transport the ECC configuration to MDG. Another way is to transport the tables directly from ECC environment to MDG.

Is ASA integration with ISE and RSA for 2 factor authentication a valid/tested design

Hi,
Customer currently uses ASA to directly integrate with RSA kind of solution to provide 2 factor authentication mechanism for VPN user access. We're considering to introduce ISE to this picture, and to offload posture analysis from ASA to ISE. And the flow we're thinking is to have ASA interface to ISE and ISE interface to RSA and AD backend infrastructure. And we still need the 2 factor authentication to work, i.e., customer gets a SMS code in addition to its login username and password. I'm wondering if ASA/ISE/RSA/AD integrated solution (and with 2 factor authentication to work) is a tested solution or Cisco validate design? Any potential issue may break the flow?
Thanks in advance for any input!
Tina

Hi,
I have an update for this quite broad question.
I have now came a bit further on the path.
Now the needed Radius Access Attribute are available in ISE after adding them in
"Policy Elements" -> "Dictionaris" -> "System" -> "Radius" -> "Cisco-VPN3000".
I added both the attribute 146 Tunnel-Group-Name which I realy need to achive what I want(select diffrent OTP-backends depending on Tunnel Group in ASA) and the other new attribute 150 Client-Type which could be intresting to look at as well.
Here the "Diagnostics Tools" -> "Generel tools" -> "TCP Dump" and Wireshare helped me understand how this worked.
With that I could really see the attributes in the radius access requests going in to the ASA.
Now looking at a request in "Radius Authentication details" I have
Other Attributes:
ConfigVersionId=29,Device Port=1025,DestinationPort=1812,RadiusPacketType=AccessRequest,Protocol=Radius,CVPN3000/ASA/PIX7.x-Tunnel-Group-Name=SMHI-TG-RA-ISESMS,CVPN3000/ASA/PIX7.x-Client-Type=,CPMSessionID=ac100865000006294FD60A7F,.....
Ok, the tunnel group name attribute seems to be understood correct, but Client-Type just say =, no value for that.
That is strange, I must have defined that wrong(?), but lets leave that for now, I do not really need it for the moment being.
So now when I have this Tunnel-Group-Name attribute available I want to use it in my Rule-Based Authentication Policy.
Problem now is that as soon as I in an expression add a criteria containing Cisco-VPN3000:CVPN3000/ASA/PIX7.x-Tunnel-Group-Name matches .* (just anything), then that row does not match any more. It still work matching against NAS-IP and other attributes.
What could it be I have missed?
Best regards

Start, Charms and Windows Key stopped working in Windows 8.1

I have read these forums about getting the Start button and Charms back by hitting Win-C. But that doesn't even work on mine. This started just Feb 2 when I downloaded the Windows updates sent out that day for Microsoft .NET4.5.2. I have uninstalled
that update. At least that stopped the error message I was getting about Microsoft .NET Framework unhandled exception. But my start, charms, and windows key on my keyboard remain unusable. Any help?
Thanks,
Kelly M

Hi Kelly,
What is your current situation?
Have you tried to restart Windows Explorer through task manager?
If the above is still not going to work. Run the following command:
SFC /ScanNow;
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth;
Also check if you have any hardware driver update recently. Check at the manufactuer side and see if they could offer any helpful information.
Further, could you please have a share wit hthe update KB number, I will perform a test with that update.
Best regards

My Epson printer stopped working with Firefox today. It does test pages, will work on Notebook, and will work with IE. Up until today it worked with Firefox. Why can't I print anything from the internet with Firefox?

Up until today, I did everything with Firefox. Then I was on Paypal and went to print a shipping label and the printer would not work. I went to troubleshoot page and it printed a test page. I uninstalled my printer and then re-installed it. Still would not work from an internet page. I did a system restore. Still didn't work. Called Epson. They say it's a Firefox problem because it works on Notebook and test pages. I installed IE and the printer works. What happened and how can I get it back working with Firefox?

I have the same problem, I cannot print PayPal shipping label off of Firefox. I did the about.config entry and have seen that the print.print_printer does not exist at all in the list of entries. I use Vista 32. I use an Epson 545 wirelessly.
Can anyone help?

Hello. My mac pro early 2008 restarts after sleep mode and it works slower. I tested it with apple hardwear test and it seems to be ok. Thank you.

Hello. My mac pro early 2008 restarts after sleep mode and it works slower. I tested it with apple hardwear test and it seems to be ok. Thank you.

Try this:
clone your system and repair it with Disk Warrior instead
Or try a clean test system install on another drive
A must: SmcFanControl 2.2 - a mere 400 rpm extra to keep air cooling up
Try to run w/o externals. MyBook included.
Is that a 7200.11 1TB? they had a lot of issues.
Run AHT off your OEM DVD.
2008 had to have EFI and SMC updates to deal with freezes on wake from sleep, and like all models, high inrush current. Hopefully you have a UPS and is 1500VA unit.
When you do hard restart from power button, you almost certainly add more directory errors and to files requiring immediate attention to repair and rebuild the directory; and to scan and repair and delete cache and temp files and folders. A must. Invest in bootable backups SuperDuper along with Disk Warrior (or TechTool Pro 6, maybe Drive Genius 3 but I'd rate that #3).
TimeMachine has its own bad habits, especially with Green drives and some externals.
Try to rule out everything and then add back one at a time.
And it may just be time to replace the 8800, very common, a couple threads this week, and it is 3 yrs old. Might want ATI 5870 or 5770.

Adobe Flash Builder pureMVC_As3 2.0.4 login works in Flash Builder when developing and testing but does not when deployed.

I have Adobe Flash Builder 4.7 with air 15. I am using as3 PureMVC swc. The application works and logins to my server during development and testing. But the issue comes when I deploy the application in IOS 8. The login does not work. Can anyone help. Thanks in advance.

Just as an add on note. What we can't determine is when the SWF file is run either in a a flash player 9 or with IE
it does not work. (i.e. no email and variable that is sent back is undefined) In flash player 10, it warns about some
security settings.
but in FLASH CS4 authoring environment, using the test movie, ctrl+enter, it runs like a champ, sends the email, gets
the variable back.
The server its being run on is a LAN based IIS server for Intranet use. So the local PC is connecting to it fine in "Test movie" mode.
but if you run that swf any other way, its does not work for love nor money! How do you debug for that! The asp code was even cut down
to a simple HELLO WOLD example and that still did not work. Of course it did work in Test Movie mode!

Using PMW(Payment medium work bench) and Classic payment medium programs

Hi
Can you please anyone explain the difference between PMW(Payment medium work bench) and Classic payment medium programs in the APP.
Please let me know based on what cosideration these can be used?
Thanks
Rajesh

The consideration is nothing, it is purely based on the business requirement.
Following information may be useful.
SAP has provided some of the DME structures for different countries. like GB_BACS for GB etc.
If your client is not part of those structure, probably you are required to create your own structure. It also depends on the bank of your client. They may want the file in a different format. Therefore, you need to first talk to the bank and get a sample file in which they need the format.
You can create the DME structure by using transaction code DMEE - Tree Type is PAYM.
You can create the DME structure as a flat file or XML file based on the requirement of your client (bank).
You can also copy the standard structure to Z structure and modify it according to your requirements.
Please also make sure that you have made settings in OBPM1, OBPM2, OBPM3 and OBPM4 (More importantly you should maintain the path where it needs to be downloaded)
Complete your FBZP settings - Importantly payment methods in country, select your DME structure.
Take help of basis consultant in order to create the directories. You can see the directories in AL11.
If there are no directory path maintained in OBPM4, then the file gets saved to temporary directory in AL11.
If you are using DME structure, then forget the classic payment medium.
1. First ask the bank for the format, file type etc. Ask bank for any document available.
2. The see for that country if SAP has provided any standard DME structure (Transaction Code DMEE - Tree Type PAYM)
3. If this is not sufficient, then copy the standard DME strcutre and modify it accordingly to your requirement.
4. Assign this DME structure in FBZP - Payment Methods in country. * Use payment medium workbench
5. Check with your basis whether any secured folders are created in AL11 (where the output file needs to get generated) - If not ask them to create.
6.Check your settings in OBPM1 / OBPM2 / OBPM3 / OBPM4 - (In OBPM4 make sure you have given the secured folder path and file name for your variant)
7. Run F110 - Check you have maintained your variant details properly for program RFFOAVIS_FPAYM
If you maintain all these steps correct, hope your DME file should get generated.

Ravi

Using Test Plan and Test Suites as work items

Hi everybody.
I need to incorporate the new feature of TFS 2013 that let me manage Test Plans and Test Suites as work ítems to my current TFS environment. I have TFS 2013 Update 3 (12.0.30324); I guess this feature was released after the release I have.
So, my questions are:
- How can I integrate the work ítem definitions to my process template? I'm using a customized version of CMMI 12.2 and this version didn't have this elements as work ítems.
- How can I adjust the existing data of all my Team Projects in order to use this functionality?
- Is there any impact on the existing Reporting Services reports? or the new process template have incorporated the appropiated changes?
- Do I need to upgrade my TFS Server? If so, a migration process is needed?
Any help will be appreciated.
Best regards.

Hi AjdPC,
Thanks for your post.
Yes, this feature released in TFS 2013 Update 3. But as the TFS 2013 Update 4 has released too, so we suggest you upgrade your TFS to TFS 2013 Update 4.
After you upgraded to TFS 2013 Update 4, if you want use this feature in the old/upgraded team projects, you need configure features for these team project, please refer to the detailed information in this document:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff432837.aspx. For example, if one your upgraded team project created using CMMI 12.2, open this team project’s Web Access admin page, click
Configure Features>>select the CMMI 2013.4 in the
Choose a process template to continue textbox, then click Configure button.
For the custom process templates, we suggest you download the new 2013.4 versions process template from your collection after upgraded to TFS 2013 Update 4, then custom that 2013.4 process templates to instead of that old customized 12.2 process templates,
then upload the new customized process templates to your collection and create team project use them if you want.
That not impact your Reporting Services reports.
As I said, we suggest you upgrade to TFS 2013 Update 4, In-place upgrade or migrate upgrade both are ok.
Note: make the full backup for your TFS Server databases before any upgrade or migrate operation.
We are trying to better understand customer views on social support experience, so your participation in this interview project would be greatly appreciated if you have time. Thanks for helping make community forums a great place.

Difference between work bench request and customizing request

in abap point of view please give me the difference between work bench request and customizing request

In simple terms -
Work bench Request is used by ABAPer.(Creatation of Programs, TCodes or ABAP Dictionary Objects)
Customizing Request is used by Functional Consultants. (Used to configure the system as per clients Business requirements).
The Change Request is that request when you do some thing new in customizing or configuration in the system. The system will automatically pop with the change request pop box , when you can give request name as defined by the system or can give your own request name with heading of what changes you have made while customization. The system will generate a request number and you save it. (e.g.:- VEDK-2785467) VEDK- means the Clients System name then followed by the system generated request number.
Now when you want to release the request you have to use the T-code SE10 where you can see the requests under the heading modifiable or released. Go to the modifiable option. Each request will have again an internal request number. First you have to release the internal request and then release the external request number. This will in turn released by the basis guys thru the T-code SM64 in a group when all the requests are pooled from different users.
The task which you have mentioned in your question is nothing but the what task you have performed while customizing the client system and the heading name which have given it for that task and generated a request for that task.

Customizing Request:- which will be used when any customization changes are doing.
Example:- In your standard Tcode always you cannot find all the fields or options, if you want to enable/disable some fields, in this case it will be treated as Customizing request, any customization will comes under this.
Work Bench Request:- for new developments like new reports, BDC....etc, then Work Bench Request will be used.
