Meaning of defining multiple logical components in mainenance project?

Dear friends of SolMan,
I have a question regarding a possible functionality of ChaRM .
In the maintenance project, defined in SOLAR_PROJECT_ADMIN, there is on the tab "system landscape" another tab "systems" where you define the logical component for which the maintenance belongs to.
In the list for the logical components you have the possibility to define more than one logical component.
Now my question is:
- Why and for what am I able to define more than one logical components?
Thanks for your help in advance.
Best regards,
Alex

Alexander
Yes it is very important part of CHARMS
Because logical component tells you which client is dev or QA or Prd for any system
When you activate CHARMS in your project where you have added the logical comp then system check for this logical comp ...the needed things ...like rfc or transport route etc
You can have multiple logical comp for various systems in one project i& it s enough to support them with one maintenance cycle working ...........to support CHARMS functionality
Hope it clarifies

Logical Difference of defining Multiple Logical level keys

Hi All,
We add logical level keys in BMM layer by right cliking the logical level column of a dimesional hierarchy, doing so defines a new logical key, i already have another logical level column defined as logical level key.
When i double click on logical level hierarchy, it has keys tab where i have two keys now.
say the two keys are: "channel desc key" and "channel id key"
My question is in one key say "channel id key" if we click edit, i am getting all the columns including channel desc column, so if i click it as key, it forms a composite key of (channel id) + (channel desc) inside "channel id key". Then what is the use of maintaining another key = "channel desc key"
Is there any logical difference of ("maintaining two keys having single column defined as key in either of them") and ("maintaining one key having two logical columns defined as keys in a single logical level key")?
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Sreekanth.

Hey got the answer, there is a difference, if i add multiple columns as keys under a single logical level key, they both come under one key and its drill down on both the columns, i cannot select selectively out of which column of the two drill down is applicatble.
If i create two different logical keys for two columns i can selectively choose which column drill down is applicable to.
Drill Down is based on "Logical Level Key" not on Logical Level Column selected as key.
Thanks,
Sreekanth.

Is it possible to define multiple web services in one project?

I'd like to publish multiple components within one project as web services. but when I try to create it using the project New menu, it only prompts me and allows me to select one component . So does this mean only one web service can exist in one project?

Sunil
Thanks for the prompt reply.
I think I should have worded my question more clearly.
I have a project with multiple Java classes. I'd like to convert two of them into web services.
There are two ways to co this.
1. I right click on each class and select the Generate J2EE Web Service option. This will work correctly and allow multiple web services to be generated.
but this is not what I want to do .
What we are trying to do is to generate web services at the project level. I am following instructions in OTN web services tutorial :
http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/obe1013jdev/ws/wsandascontrol.htm
So , this is what I do :
1. Right-click on my project and select New from the context menu.
2. In the New Gallery, expand Business Tier in the Categories list and select Web Services, then select Java Web Service from the Items list. Click OK.
3. In the Select J2EE Web Service Version dialog, select J2EE 1.4 (JAX-RPC) Web Service, then click OK.
4. Click past the welcome page
5. This brings me to the page where I can select the web service and class.
This is where I am stuck - it seems I can only select one web service here . Unless I am missing something.
Or should I just repeat the process multiple times - running the wizard once for each class ?
Thanks for the help.

Multiple logical components for a single step in Business Process Structure

Question 2 of 3:
I'd like to hear about how other people have handled Portals transactions and similar items. I.e. when building the Business Blueprint or Business Process Structure, what if a single transaction runs on more than one product or logical component? Solution Manager only allows you to assign one logical component to a process step and transaction in the Business Blueprint Structure. This isn't the ideal solution, since you lose the linear affect of the what transactions take place for the step.
Your insights and opinions are appreciated.
Regards,
Marcel

Hi Marcel,
an ABAP transaction can only run or at least be started on one single system. A portal transaction can be assigned using a URL. This doesn't need any logical component.

Logical Components for a project

Hi,
We have ECC6.0 on which we have applied the Enhancement Package 2.0.
While trying to create a project in solution manager for the Business Sceario we selected it is requiring Logical component for SAP ERP Enhance Package.
While trying to create the SAP ERP Enhance Package logical component we are not able to find any systems to attach under that even though we have maintained installed product versions as both SAP ECC / SAP ERP ENHANCE PACKAGE 2005.2. in the system defintion of our development system.
We tried to put SAP ERP ENHANCE PACKAGE 2005.2 as leading product version even then we are not able to pickup that system under the SAP Enhance package Logical component.
Please suggest.
Thanks & Regards
Mrutyunjay

Hi,
In SMSY under landscape components select your system and go to Header Data Tab. Click on Installed Product version. Then select the check box Free Product/Select product Version.
Then you can find your product there. This will solve your problem.

Changes in logical components of a project

Hi
I have the requirement to add another system to my maintenane project. Having read Dolores Correa's Usual Questions and known errors blog I see that this is not s straight forward scenario.
The blog states that I should "Close the current project cycle", does this mean that I should "Complete the maintenance cycle"? in transaction /TMWFLOW/MAINTINST ??
If that is the case does that not mean that all of my transports will be imported into production?
I cannot find further information on consequenses of this requirement, so all help you can offer is welcome.
regards
marina

Hi,
When you close a maintenance project, TRs will not be automatically imported into PRD. You have to execute the task in your Tasklist to import into PRD.
While closing the the transport requests that are not yet imported into the production systems are also taken into account in the new task list for project imports (in technical terms, this means that the import project includes not only the current CTS project, but also the CTS project of the completed cycle).
If you create a new cycle, the system automatically assigns these processes and objects to the new cycle.
Refer Note: 1071412
Hope this helps.

ChaRM:Logical Components for Projects

Hi Experts,
I have done ChaRM config and i am about to create logical components for the project Project.
I have below two questions please help.
While creating a logical component when i have multiple clients in DEV, QAS and PRD how to proceed and second question is about RFC Users in satellite systems.
1) My ECC landscape have DEV ->100, 200, 300, 400, QAS-> 100, 200, 300, PRD-> 100, 200 with multiple clients.
So while creating logical component do i need mention all clients in the logical component or its enough if i mention DEV->100, QAS->100, PRD->100 ?
If i mention only one client in logical component how transports will move to other clients in DEV, QAS and PRD. Please help.
2) Second question is do we need to create READ, TMW, back rfc users in all clients for DEV, QAS and PRD for above ECC landscape ?
Please help for above question.
Regards
Latha

Hi,
So while creating logical component do i need mention all clients in the logical component or its enough if i mention DEV->100, QAS->100, PRD->100 ?
Yes, you can have this TMS track defined and use SCC1 for performing imports within the system (like QAS 100 to QAS 200 ). Or use the Tranport Target Group option so that your TR is visible in import queue of all system. More info Extended Transport Control (SAP Library - BC Change and Transport Organizer)
2) Second question is do we need to create READ, TMW, back rfc users in all clients for DEV, QAS and PRD for above ECC landscape ?
Yes, you need RFCs b/w your working client (100 ) and 000 client of domain controller. Not for all clients.

Problems with Logical Components

Hi All,
I am having problems with Logical Components with our project. We are implemeents SAP HCM and we have defined a logical component Z_ERP for the ECC server. now when you look at the transaction from SOLAR02 it seems they also have a logical Component SAP Learning Solution that is assigned to them. what could be the cause of this???

Hi Trevor,
If you brought them in from the Business Process Repository, the logical component is going to be the default one. If you want to use your own, you need to replace the default one with yours.
You can do this in SOLAR_PROJECT_ADMIN by going to the System Landscape tab > Systems tab > highlight the SAP Learning Solution logical component row > press F4 > replace it with Z_ERP.
If for some reason SAP Learning Solution isn't listed as a logical component you may have to add it, you can also just go to SOLAR02 > Edit > Replace Log. Comp > Enter SAP Learning Solution in the top box and Z_ERP in the bottom one > click Save.

Multiple Ibase/components with one change request / interfacing Lotus Notes

Scenario: Our users post all their software change requests (not only for SAP) into an application based on Lotus Notes. Professionals of the IT department evaluate the requests and make a offer for each of the change requests. The users may (or may not) accept the offer and place an order - all this in Lotus Notes, and not only for SAP.
If that order is confirmed and points to the SAP environment, Lotus Notes automatically must involve Solution Manager by calling a rfc-enabled function module in the Solution Manager system. This function module has to create a Solution Manager Change Request (simulating CRMD_ORDER transaction) together with its maintenance cycle, task list and transport request.
Problem: One of the problems is, that Lotus Notes change requests for SAP environment often require changes to multiple logical components, like R/3 plus BW plus CRM.
Question: The question is, how to create a Solution Manager Change Request for multiple components? This is caused by the restriction of the input screen of CRMD_ORDER which allows only one Ibase/component assignment.
Do you already have worked on this or any idea that might help? I would appreciate very much if you would share your expertise. Thank you.

Hi Heiner,
The work around that I use is in my maintenance project I have added all the logical components that I will have to work with.(R/3, ECC 6.0, BW etc..) This way, when I created the Maintenance cycle, my task list had all of these systems/clients in it.
The only hick is that in the CRMD_ORDER transaction, you only can put one ibase component.
The above mentioned solution works if you combine all your systems into one maintenance cycle.
let me know if this sheds any light for you.

Define one logical system for PI or multiple LS for 3rd-party system?

Hi gurus,
We are using IDOC2SOAP and SOAP2IDOC scenario in PI7.11. My question is regarding the logical system(or partner profile) on R3 side. We have two 3rd party system:A and B, so we have two choices.
1. define one single logical system for PI integration server;
2. define two logical systems for A and B.
For choice 1, it seems we can only use one business sytem or business component (business service in 7.0) as the two 3rd party system, especially for SOAP2IDOC scenario.
For choice 2, it seems we have no restrictions.
Is it correct?Any help will be appreciated.

technically you can use both options.
The question is - do you want all the IDOCs in your R3 system to appear as though they were sent from the PI?
What if a lot of 3rd party systems were sending the same IDOC (for example - ORDERS) and you want to investigate only those who were sent from system A?
I like it configured that every system will be identified by a name I give it.
I just use the IDOC communication channel checkbox of "Take Sender from Payload"
or use a different service in the IBC that has a different logical system configured in its Adapter specific identifiers.
Hope it helps,
Imanuel Rahamim.

Logical components problem when checking project

Hello,
I have searched in the forum for a solution, but the people who had the same kind of problem managed to solve it with means that do not work for me.
Here is the situation :
- We have a three tier landscape, DEV-QAS-PRD, in transport domain DOMAIN_A, with domain controller DCA
- We have our Solution Manager system, DCB, which is part of (and domain controller of) transport domain DOMAIN_B
- The two transport domains are linked, as specified in SolMan prerequisites for managing systems from other transport domains. This has been tested, and transports can be forwarded and imported freely from one domain to another.
- I have created the systems, RFC destinations, and logical component for the three tier landscape in SolMan system DCB. The RFCs are all OK.
- I have created the domain controller DCA system in SolMan DCB, with RFC destination to client 0, as defined in the prerequisite for Change Request Management.
- Finally, I have created a project in SolMan system DCB, with this logical component.
When I try to do a Check on this project, in the Change Request management tab, I have green lights everywhere, except for the following :
- In "Check logical components" : No consolidation system found for DEV-040 (our development system)
- In "Check consistency of project" : Message from function module /TMWFLOW/CHECK_PRJ_CONS: No export system for PRD-020 (our production system)
We have checked the TMS settings and transport routes, and everything looks OK.
Any ideas on what to check/try would be welcome.
Thanks,
Thomas

Hi,
Check the status of the DC's in the track created in CBS.
at following location.
http://url:port/webdynpro/dispatcher/sap.com/tc.CBS.WebUI/WebUI
There should be no Broken DC's in the track.
If every thing is fine here and you still have problems then check by repairing the class path of the component.
Hope this helps you.

2 Logical Components for 1 Business Process Step

Hello All,
I'm looking for a way to assign in SolMan --> transaction Solar01 - Tab Structure - Business Process Step, 2 logical components for 1 business step. When creating the business step I have to assign 1 specific logical component to this step. Once I have done this I can only select the chosen logical component ffor SAP Transactions, configuration object etc.. As my business step is running on 2 different systems I need to find a way to link transactions etc. in the step to the different systems. Is there any way to change this for the Level 3 elements, like it is for level 2 (business processes) where I can choose in the different tabs between all the logical components?
Thanks in advance
Ramó

I've seen people use some absolute craziness to get more than three levels. The most extreme being using multiple projects at the highest level (i.e. a project for PTP Accounts Payable). Don't go there.
I personally like to have 1 transaction per process step. Don't use the transaction tab as another process level, use it to better describe the process step (like all the other tabs are uses). It results in a better understanding of the system as you go forward. To do that I make teams break up things they think are one step (this can take some arm twisting, so hit the gym and maybe take a few judo classes).
This allows you to use SolMan in more powerful ways. For instance, if you attach development objects to a step with 5 transactions, you cannot tell which transaction is modified by the development object. However, one transaction per node provides you this link. There are other examples, but basically the "where used" button becomes very useful when you have 1 transaction per node.
Maybe you could provide a specific example of your process and we can think of a better way to collapse it.
Such as:
- PTP Non-Merchandise Purchasing
-- Expense Purchasing
--- Create Purchase Requisition
--- Create Purchase Order (Assign Vendor & Price)
--- Send to Vendor
--- Post Goods Receipt
--- Perform LIV
--- Process Payment
Some companies have 6 level processes already defined in models and putting it into SolMan can be a pain for sure. Your naming convention is usually the best route.

Logical Components and Solution Landscapes - 2 PRD ECC Servers

When I assign my PRD ECC5 server to Logical Components > SAP ECC > SAP ECC Server > SAP ECC, I select the Product Version as SAP ECC5.
From the drop down list on Production System, I can see both my ECC 5 PRD's clients listed. I select one client, all OK. Problem is I have 2 Production ECC5's, both to be used in seperate solutions. So I can only select ONE of these,
How can I use 2 ECC5 Production systems in Logical Components, or does it need to be configured differently?
Thanks,
Derek

hi Derek,
you can create more than one logical component under ECC. Just name it something like ZECC2 and the define the systems for this logical component. You can then use the logical component in your project system landscapes.
To add a new one just right click on the text SAP ECC Server and select Create Logical Component.

Jason

Multiple Logical Systems in Partner Profile for one instance

Can we create multiple Logical Systems in Partner Profile (WE20) for one instance or one System? If it is possible, can we create Logical System with respect to Plant/Country?

I am not quite sure if I understood your problem completley. But let's see...
Usually you use on on MSCS Cluster Group per SAP instance. So you have your already existing NW 7.0 ABAP stack in a separated Cluster Group, and you create a new Cluster Group for your new Java system.
You can find more information about it in this guide here on SDN:
Link: [High Availability;
More information about High Availability Setups for SAP System can be found here on SDN:
Link: [High Availability]
If you want to use the same database for your clustered ABAP stack and your new Java stack you can do a MCOD installation.
Please see Link: [SAP Note 388866 - Multiple Components on One Database - Installation|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/388866]
Hope this helps.

Logical components for ERP and ERP EnhP 3

Hello,
We have a landscape or ECC 6.0 Systems created in the SMSY. Those systems were linked to a new logical component Z_ERP60 under product ERP 6.0. Then we used that logical component in all the projects.
Later on, we upgrade ECC 6.0 to EnhP 3. So, we went to the SMSY transaction, to the infrastructure components--systems and add new product versions to the existent system.
However, the logical component is defined as valid only for the original product ERP 6.0, and not to the new ERP 6.0 EhP3. When we go to SOLAR01 transaction we still see that processes from BPR that belongs to EhP3 are greyed.
We want to know which is the best practice to handle this request, whether we create a new logical component associated to the product ehp3, Z_ERP60_EHP and then replace all the projects with the new component, or is there any other alternative.
I appreciate your inputs.
Regards
Esteban Hartzstein

Many thanks for your answer. The attachment is related to whether ERP EhP is available as a product in Solution Manager. We are in SolMan EhP1 (SP 18), so we already have the product available. However my concern is that we need to redefine the logical component. Logical component belongs to one single product, being ERP 6.0 or ERP 6.0 EhP. So, in our case we need to create a new logical component with the new ERP 6.0 EhP and then re-atach all the individual systems to the new logical compoent. Then we need to replace in all the projects withe the new logical component. Is there any alternative to deal with this problem of redefintion of logical components??
