Manage transports (without ChaRM) in Solution Manager?

Hi,
How do I manage transports in target systems (ECC, APO, etc.) using Solution Manager. We have the Dev systems (ECC, APO) connected using RFC to Solution Manager. Configuration (SOLAR02) will be done using Solution Manager. So the question is - how do we manage transports (without ChaRM being present) using Solution Manager?
Any suggestions/recommendations? I would greatly appreciate any feedback.

Hi,
One of the main features available with the Solution Manager is ChaRM. It has been introduced to basically deal with the diverse transports management and related control framework over the SAP lanscape. Having a Solution Manager and not using ChaRM defeats the purpose of installing a Solution Manager in the first place. A better approach would be to incorporate the features provided by the system.
In my opinion - you should configure ChaRM, else it would not make sense to have the SolMan in the landscape. You would start using one of the features which you already have !

Problem in CHaRM Configuration - Solution Manager 4.0 SP16

Hi All,
We are in the process of configuring CHaRM in Solution Manager 4.0 with SP16. We have created the project and the activated CHaRM for that project and created the task list as well.
We are able to create the Change Request transaction and also approve the transaction successfully.
ISSUE
The popup of selecting a maintenance cycle while approving the Change Request is not appearing.
When we go to the document flow and select the next document it says
No maintenance cycle is open for the current system
Message no. SOCM_ACTION_LOG011
Maintenance Cycle is very much active when we check from transaction /tmwflow/cmsconf --> Environment --> Scheduling --> Display maintenance cycles.
We are not able to see any maintenance cycle from transaction code crm_dno_monitor
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks and Regards

I have a question regarding the organization of Solutions in Solution Manager.
First, I have 3 solution manager boxes
1 Sandbox
2 Dev
3 Prod
In sandbox, I have a sandbox 'solution' that contains all sandboxes
In dev, I have no 'solution'
In production, I have all dev through production boxes lumped into one 'solution'.
I was thinking that maybe I should break up the solution in Production to have only prod boxes, and then build one in dev that contains dev and qa boxes.
My question is that when I configure CHARM to manager transports, will that work to separate DEV/QA from Prod OR will I need all the dev, qa, prod boxes in one 'solution' since that is how transports flow??

Logical systems while implementing charm in solution manager

Hello Everybody,
I just wanted to know how many logical systems we need while implementing charm in solution manager 7.0. I have 3 clients in development , 3 clients in Quality and 1 client in production.
Thank you,
vikram.

Hi Vikram,
Yes, i1n ChaRM we always work with logical systems, I mean clients.
The standard is:
DEV -> QAS -> PRD
However, you can also use:
- Minimum
DEV -> PRD
- Target groups
DEV -> QAS -> PRD
- > TST
DEV -> QA1 -> QA2 -> PRD
DEV -> QA1 -> PR1
-> QA2 -> PR2
There are a lot of combination possible.

Automatic transport with ChaRM

Hi!
We transport currently all transports with u201EIMPORT ALLu201Cmethod and are thinking about the implementation of ChaRM.
This method (u201CIMPORT ALLu201D) allows us to transport the transports at 10 and 14 ou2019clock automatically from DEV into QAS system
As we know ChaRM works with SINLGE IMPORT method (CTC=1).
Questions
1) Do we have any possibilities for the automatic transport in ChaRM?
If Yes, how does it work?
2) Do we have any possibilities for locking of objects and mechanisms to avoid "outrun of transportsu201D?
Developer 1 works with objects A, B, C, changes the object B and transports them into QAS system.
Developer 2 works with objects B, G, H, transports the object B into QAS system.
Now he has the other version of object B, because the object B was changed by developer A.
Does ChaRM offer some mechanisms to avoid u201Coutrun of transportsu201D?
Any helpful information will be very appreciated and awarded with points.
Thank you very much!

Hi!
Thank you very much again.
The problem is we would like to use non-ChaRM and ChaRM transports simultaneously in same DEV client (e.g. 100). The same applies for QAS system (e.g. client 200).
We would like to integrate other transport routes into ChaRM.
Do you think we have possibility to integrate this.
Please have a look into our system landscape [SAP system landscape |http://www.file-upload.net/view-1086963/SDN_TMS_Ist_Soll.jpg.html].
Please help to clarify....
I awarded you point...

ChaRM in solution manager

Dear experts,
We had implemented the SM3.2 (change request management ,EWA and Support desk) in 3-tier landscape, my question is whether we can implement the Change Request Management in 2 tier landscape .
The scenario which we have is 2-systems -
Production with 700 & 900 client and Development with 200 , 300 , 400 .
200---Development client
300---Customizing client
400---Testing client
700---Pre production client
900---Production client
Usually by normal transport system we use to take the request from 200 & 300 to 400, after that we again test it in 700 then take it to 900 production client.
Now please suggest that how we can configure change request in this scenario, if not possible can clients within the system be configure as different system.
can we configure the ChaRM as 200>400>900 where 200 & 400 are the clients of same server or 200>700>900 .
Thanks in advance|| urgent

Dear cherry , prakash and tom..
See i think i am still not able to clear the scenerio.....
1. Dev box is having 200 300 400 clients
2. Prd is having 700 900 client ..now i want to take the request by both of following routes -->
1. 200--> 900....as the 200 is workbench client so testing not required
in this case i got stuck after releasing the request frm dev server .........now no option in change document for importing it directly to production is there .
2. 300-->400 for testing in dev customzing scenerio.
then 300--> 700 for testing in PRD customzing scenerio.
then from 300 --->900.
no idea how to do this.
i hav done all the customizing required alongwith CTC=1 extended tr. control as i have already had configured CHARM in 3-system landscape
simply i want to ask that what should be the TMS route structure for such kind of scenerio.
Also u have mentioned that it can b done through transport gr.........is it transport gr or transport target group u are talking abt.
it will be very grate full if u can forward me the e-mail id at [email protected]

Which transport tool to use: Solution Manager OR NWDI?

We just wonder why SAP gives 2 ways to manage transports?
Could some gurus compare them and give the recommendation: which one to go with?
Thanks!!

As answered by Peter now the new CTS+ is capable of handling both ABAP and JAVA objects.... You need to integrate the NWDI with CTS+ to manage transports of objects developed in NWDI..
SAP recommends CTS+ over CMS...

Approve critical objects in transport requests (ChaRM)

Hi folks!
When trying to create transport of copies from within a Change Document (status 'to be tested') the system checks for critical objects in transport requests and prompts a warning that critical objects are to be approved.
I do not want the Change Manager to approve every transport request containing critical objects. I would more likely use this feature as information for the Developer so he is aware of working on critical objects. The Developer should be able to make the approval.
What I found out: only the user whos Business Partner is assigned to Partner Function 'Change Manager" is allowed to make the approval.
More detailed it seems to be Partner Function of type "0008 responsible person"
I tried changing Partner Function Developer from "0016 service group" to "0008 responsible person" but the system won't let me have two Partner Functions of that type in one Change Document.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
/cheers

Hi,
For any user to approve the change req or change doc, he should have the authorization
In your case Developer has to approve means
1. Create a Action definition and maintain the processing parameters for the definition, select the partner fn as Developer
2. Create the customized status in your status profile and its corresponding Authorization code also.
3. Assign the Authorization code for Developer under teh authorization object B_USERSTAT
By this Developer wil get the authorization for approving the change doc for the particular status
If solves your query then mark the thread as answered

SCC1 Transport in CHARM

Hi Experts
I am configuring CHARM at one of our client and the scenario is typical..
Scenario:
Client has Dev -QA-PRD Sytem, where as in DEV has 100 & 200 Client. Initially All the tranports will move from Dev-100 to Dev-200 and then to QA System. Hence,
Q- How shall I define the Transport Route
Q -How can in define Logical component
Q- How can I include in CHARM
Regards
Aftab

Hi Aftab,
this can be implemented.
1. Define a tranport route from DEV100--->DEV200. U can specify the client in 'Standard Transport Layer' tab. Then to QAS and PRD accordingly.
2. Create a logical componenet and mention DEV100 as DEV system and DEV200 asTEst system , QAS as ur Pre prodcution and ur PRD. Or you can define the roles as per ur wish.
3. Assign this logical componenet to ur solution and add that to the project. You can activate ChaRM for this project.
Please get back in case u have any doubt on this.

FIM job transport without mapping data

Deal all,
We are using FIM 10.0 SP 8
Looking for a solution which helps to transport the FIM jobs from the DEV system to QA system without the mapping table information.
As per my understanding the XML file gets generated while exporting a FIM job contains all the mapping information. Is there a way to avoid this?
Regards
Deepesh

Hi Deepeesh,
When exporting a FIM job to an .xml file , the following parameters are exported:
Job properties
Source properties
Target properties
Mapping table definition
Mapping table content
Source connection (if any)
Target connection
Whereas these parameters are not exported:
Mapping table history
Job run history
Source file (if any)
Last run parameters (filters and target application properties
Underlying data services job

Migrating Transports via CHaRM to the same system more than once

Good Day;
Does anyone know if CHaRM has the capabilities to migrate transports (within a maintenance cycle) to the same system multiple times?
Let me explain.
When we move a maintenance cycle (release) through our landscape we move from;
Development system - Quality system - Volume system. Then to production
UAT is being done in both the quality system and the volume system.
Once all testing is complete, we refresh the volume system with a fresh copy of the production system and re-import all the transports. This is to allow our BASIS team to do regression (batch) and load testing.
Is there a way to use CHaRM to migrate the transports or is this something that needs to be done manually (as it is today).
Thanks All,
Regards
Don Newton

PDF Printing without BI - a solution that works

I have used the instruction givein in the follwing post:
http://carlback.blogspot.com/2007/03/apex-cocoon-pdf-and-more.html
Below are my steps
1.) Install java sdk
2.) Create environment variable JAVA_HOME that points to this dir. : JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_20
3.) Extract c:\zipfiles\apache-tomcat-6.0.29-windows-x64.zip to the directory where the program will be executed.(D:\ApexPDFPrintserver)
4.) Do the same with cocoon-2.1.11-src.zip and fop_post.zip.
5.) Open a CMD and go to that directory.
6.) Check if the java home is set: (set J should show all environment variables starting with J)
7.) Change directory to the cocoon installation: (D:\ApexPDFPrintserver\cocoon-2.1.11)
8.) Compile the cocoon app by typing the following : D:\ApexPDFPrintserver\cocoon-2.1.11\build war
9.) Copy the cocoon.war file from D:\ApexPDFPrintserver\cocoon-2.1.11\build\cocoon to the appache web apps directory => D:\ApexPDFPrintserver\apache-tomcat-6.0.29\webapps
10.) Edit the server.xml (D:\ApexPDFPrintserver\apache-tomcat-6.0.29\conf) file to change the port on which the server would be available to:8085 (8080 is used by APEX) on this installation
11.) change dir to D:\ApexPDFPrintserver\apache-tomcat-6.0.29\bin and enter startup
12.) Apache will now create a cocoon webapp.
13.) Copy the fop_post dir to D:\ApexPDFPrintserver\apache-tomcat-6.0.29\webapps\cocoon.
14.) You can now test you Tomcat installation: http://localhost:8085/
15.) And the cocoon installation.: http://localhost:8085/cocoon/.
14.) Configure the APEX installation to use this printserver. http://localhost:8080/apex/apex_admin.
15.) The settings can be found at manage Instance => Instance settings = > Select the report printing tab.
16.) Print server: Standard
17.) Print server protocol: HTTP
18.) Printserver host address: this machine's IP
19.) Print server port :8085
20.) Print serverScript: /cocoon/fop_post/
21.) Happy printing!!
Remember to give the parsing user right to access the network.
I have used the same script provided with the APEX installation to give the APEX_0400 user rights to the network.
Have fun

both will resolve the issue.
Actually, how will running gdm from inittab help with this issue?
And I didn't understand what you meant by "remove agetty from tty2"
You know, I am pretty sure that the issue has to be with xorg. I was having this issue a lot a month ago, but then, a certain upgrade of xorg fixed the issue. I was fine for a few weeks. My computer never crashed. But, unfortunatly, a package in that same upgrade was broken and I ended up upgrading the system again a few weeks ago. xorg also upgraded at the same time. Now, my computer keeps crashing randomly and in random ways.
I think that the best thing to do is to keep up with the xorg updates, find one that works for your system and have pacman ignore all upgrades to xorg after that.
Actually, if anyone can tell me how to downgrade xorg to its state 3 weeks ago, it would be absolutely awesome.
Thanks
Because if you use runlevel 5 you dont have agetty on TTY2 so it won't try and kill xorg all the bloody time
The problem is caused because GDM is starting so fast the XORG server it loads up checks for free VT's and finds TTY2 is empty and starts on it. THEN your inittab fires up agetty on TTY2.. which promptly causes hell to arrive in a handbag.
You really need to be less critical of people offering you advice.. and possibly even check what they have posted in the past.. like the threads from months ago dealing with this issue. (search is great you know)
