Manager ERP Upgrade project via SolMan PPM ?

Hello
Is it possible to manage ERP upgrade (without EhP) to EhP7 via SolMan PPM (instead project planner tool) ?
Regards
Eric

Hi Eric,
Solution manager is a known Application management solution for Implementation or Upgrades of SAP
infact there is a new feature called EhP scope and effort analyzer which will help to do the entire scoping assessment with impact assessment for the same without even applying on ERP system
yes you read it correctly without even downloading the EhP to your ERP system you can do that now with solman
this is not magic ....check it here
Scope and Effort Analyzer - SAP Solution Manager - SAP Library
and more

Question about Managing SAP ERP 6.0 Upgrade Projects

Hi experts,
Some questions in this link(google: Managing SAP ERP 6.0 Upgrade Projects and download PDF)
http://www.google.com.tw/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=Managing_SAP_ERP_60_Upgrades_SAP_PRESS_sample&source=web&cd=4&ved=0CDgQFjAD&url=http%3A%2F%2Fmedia.techtarget.com%2FsearchSAP%2Fdownloads%2FManaging_SAP_ERP_60_Upgrades_SAP_PRESS_sample.pdf&ei=vTsVT7PKI4T6mAXL0czcAw&usg=AFQjCNFq83vYG3k14xC5tcoYy96PfllYFw
1. Is figure 5.3 in page 165 correct?
I think it should be
Temporary system: DEV 6.0
Productive system: DEV' 4.6C -> QAS 4.6C -> PRD 4.6C
2. Is this transport route possible?
"During this phase, you continue dual maintenance of the development
systems. You also transfer changes that you make in DEV' to DEV, and
transport changes to both quality assurance systems."
DEV' 4.6C -> DEV 6.0 -> QAS 6.0 -> QAS' 4.6C
If we modified some standard programs and transport between two different SAP versions, I think the programs can't work, right?

Here, you need to do manual replication between both development system. No transport is possible because of different versions. I am not sure about the document that you posted but same is explained very well in upgrade guide. Please check there.

Is it possible to export, and include AE compositions used within a Premiere Pro project, via project manager?

I've several Premiere Pro CC 2014 projects I want to relocate via project manager (one at a time). They're excessive in size (many long and unused footage files), so "Create New Trimmed Project" is the setting-option, within project manager, most attractive. BTW I love how project manager does this... However, when I check on its new location, I don't see any linked AfterEffects files. Fine, I try the other setting "Collect Files and Copy to New Location". This option allows me to now copy everything including rendered scenes featuring my AE compositions (and a lot of excess, unused files)... but still no AE files!
Is it possible to export a Premiere Pro project, excluding unused files, yet include all used files... especially linked files such as AE compositions?

Though not exactly the solution I seek, I've tried an alternative approach... it works (if anyone's interested)... but my original question still stands.
Alternative approach (and probably the only option now):
When I copy & trim my Premiere Pro project via project manager to its new location, I can open the new file and see the track editor now includes broken links to AfterEffects compositions. Since I don't wish to relink these to the current .AEP file, I may package** the original AE project to a location near my newly-located Premiere Pro project folder. To do this, I open the original .AEP file containing any compositions linked to my original Premiere Pro project, and use File < Dependencies < Collect Files. This feature copies all files (and a new .AEP copy) from this AE project to my newly selected destination (as long as no files are missing).
So at this point, when I open my newly-located PP project, I can relink the broken AfterEffects composition links in PP to the new .AEP file. Yay!
**package (for those unaware) is the term used within Adobe InDesign. This feature gathers all linked files that makeup the overall design and layout, and copies into a new folder.

Assign CS-Project to SolMan Project

Hello together,
i'm looking for a way to assign a SAP CS - project to an Solution Manager project in order to provide detailed task and ressource planning and cost collection. I was not able to find any settinga in SOLUTION_PROJECT_ADMIN, RMMAIN, SOLAR01 or SOLAR02.
Is there an extension to the current SolMan project reporting tool to include actual costs and service charges from the corresponding CS-Project.
I'm using Solution manager 7.01 EHP1 and ERP 6.0 EHP3
Thanks a lot for your responses
Regards
Matthias

HI,
Hope There is no direct link to assign SAP CS Project to Solman Project.
Both are different activities.
Through the RFC SAP can be linked to Solution Manager. In Solution Manager, Creation of Project ( SOLUTION_PROJECT_ADMIN) is the first step. for which the project can be furhter useful for Project Documentation ( Business Process Repository), Creation and Assign of Road Maps ( Upgrade Projects) etc.,
But once your Logical System is assigned to Solution Manager.Based on your Roles and Authorizations you can directly go to the Satelite System ( SAP R/3).
Hope this clears your doubts.

Creating Projects via Project Mangement Module vs Project Costing Module

Hi,
Is it true that I have to use Project Management(Project Super User responsibility) to create projects in order to fully utilize Project Management Module(Project Super User responsibility)?
I noticed that if I create a project via Project Costing Super User(Form based), I cannot access functions such as Project, Resoruces, Workplan, Financial tabs,etc. when quirying the project via Project Management Module(Project Super User responsibility)
Does it matter which responsibility/module you use to create projects?
Please advise.
Thanks,
Joon

Hi Dina
Thanks for your answer. This is a situation that I have. We'be been using Project Costing for years and we mihgt start to enter a lot of budget data. The budget data are huge so we're looking at WebADI solution. I noticed that in order to use WebADI I have to configure Project Mangement and use Edit In Excel function which is from Project List page in Project Mangement module. (Cannot use WebADI as standalone)
1. Is my understanding about WebADI correct? I have to start WebADI from project management module, not from Excel.
2. Do you remember the program names that convert/upgrade to project management version of projects? Is the program simple to run and stable/
Thanks,
Joon

OBIEE 10g to 11g Upgrade Project plan

Hello All,
I am a technical consultant working on OBIEE/OBIA and the management needs a project plan for upgrading OBIEE suite 10g to OBIEE 11g (11.1.1.6).
Can you please share some details as -task list and approx hours required. I have a rough idea of task list in terms environment setup, installations, configuration, custom code migration, testing etc. I want present a professional plan that is being followed by others. Dont want to look odd one out. Your help is appriciated.
Thanks you !

See this in the log:
*02712: Expected oracle.biee.admin:type=BIDomain.BIInstance.ServerConfiguration,* Oracle instance, found 0*
You will have to look into why the upgrade utility isnt seeing any instance recognized - it will only work with 1 instance registered and for some reason it cant find any in your configuration.
You could try looking in Oracle® Fusion Middleware Error Messages Reference 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.6.0) for details on the error.
Ensure the service instance name is present in jps-config.xml.

Data transfer form 4.7 to ECC 6.0 in upgradation project. How to do?

Hi Experts,
The client is going for an up-gradation from 4.7 to ECC 6.0. The entire data needs to be transferred from 4.7 to ECC 6.0. What is the best possible way to do this?
Please advise.
Regards,
Tomesh

Hi ,
Going for an up-gradation from 4.7 to ECC 6.0. The data needs gets migrated from 4.7 to ECC 6.0.
SAP normally has defined better SAP functionalities in the new system .
In any upgrade project use Tcode SPDD. In this all the dictionary objects u2013 data elements, database tables and structures in the version 4.7 are compared with the upcoming new system.
All you need to do is the check whether the new change is suitable or not.You can make the modifications and then you need to make the migration of data, which can be automate.
the links for your reference.

Change Management in Implementation project

Hi all,
Have any one used change request management in implementaion project?How to transport tp's in that?is it the same way as we do in maintenance project?How the transport request will be tracked?
Thanks in advance,
Avinash.

Hi,
This is how it happens
Maintenance projects
You want to make changes in systems as part of your planned maintenance period, and import all these changes simultaneously into production systems at the end of the maintenance period. For this purpose, you want to create a maintenance cycle, which is represented by a task list in the Schedule Manager.
A maintenance cycle is the period of time in which you:
Make changes in maintenance systems
Include these changes in new transport requests
Import these requests into follow-on systems for testing
At the end of a maintenance cycle, all transport requests are imported into the production system at the same time. Subsequently, the maintenance cycle can be closed manually and a new one can be created, if necessary (but only in compliance with the rules of the change requests that belong to the maintenance cycle).
Implementation, template, and upgrade projects
You want to make changes in systems as part of your project, and import all these changes simultaneously into production systems at the end of the project. For this purpose, you want to create a task list in the Schedule Manager.
With the help of this task list you:
Make changes in development systems
Include these changes in new transport requests
Import these requests into follow-on systems for testing
At the end of a project, all transport requests are imported into the production systems at the same time.
Task lists are generated automatically upon your request. If you use the Service Desk, the Service Desk transaction for managing cycle phases is also generated.

SAP MM Functional Consultant's role in a Upgrade Project from 4.6C to 6.0

Hi Guys,
I will be thrown into a SAP Upgrade Project. I would appreciate if someone could shed some light on what a SAP MM Functional Consultants role would be in this kind of Project.
I would appreciate a comprehensive guide where it includes role within each stage of the ASAP methodology for Upgrades.
Thanks guys.

> I will be thrown into a SAP Upgrade Project. I would appreciate if someone could shed some light on what a SAP MM Functional Consultants role would be in this kind of Project.
- defining the core processes
- test and customize them
- release the customizing transports for production
> I would appreciate a comprehensive guide where it includes role within each stage of the ASAP methodology for Upgrades.
Since each project is different and each system has a different customizing/configuration it's not possible to generate a step-by-step guide what you have to do. The requirements are usually defined by the business.
Your project leader should be able to give you a project plan (e. g. by using Solution Manager Upgrade Project) where you can get an idea based on the system you're going to upgrade.

Upgrade projects and Compare and ajust func.???

Hi All.
I am trying setting up a demo of the benefits using SolMan for upgrade projects with Compare and Adjust functionality.
I am following a guide with the following steps:
1. Create an Implementation project with some processes from BPR (Using SAP R/3 Enterprise 4.7 as logical component).
2. Model (change) the processes to simulate that a not fully SAP std. process is used at this compagny.
3. Copy the implementation project to an Upgrade Project (with option "Adjust target project to original of the source project".
4. Adding logical component SAP R/3 ECC 6.0 to the system landscape.
5. Executing transaction SA_PROJECT_UPGRADE for the Upgrade project.
Now, when I go to the project, I see no marking of changes anywhere...
Could this be because I am using the wrong processes in my Implementation project from BPR?
Does anyone have a good example of processes that can be good to demo this?
Thanks in advance!
