Migrating Solution Manager Project ?

Hello .. has anyone had success in migrating a Solution Manager project from one server to another ? If so, can you share the details. I am aware it can be done via template, but havent tried as of yet...
weinux

My worry is not migration process.
That´s why you must have a certified migration consultant on-site to do the migration. If you do it on your own and you have problems after the migration you will loose support.
But after migration will solution manager configuration remain intact?
Yes - it will be identical.
Will configuration done in SOLMAN before migration, affect due to migration.Any pros and cons?
No - apart from a different OS and database configuration that must be taken care of during the migration.
Also Can you please suggest rough ( approx ) estimate for migration? Solution manager version 7.0 , Solaris 5.9 , oracle 10g.
It´s impossible to tell that.
It depends on lots of factors (processor number/speed, speed of I/O subsystem, database configuration...). A migration is usually done three times at least to get the optimal number of R3load processes and database configuration during the migration process.

Links to Documentation in a Solution Manager Project

Solution Manager Project Documentation has a feature that allows you to "link" to differnet levels of your documentation. For instance, if I attach a documentation template at the Process level of a Project and there are 10 process steps under that process, I can create links at each process step that will link to the document that I attached at the process level.
Is there a way to automatically build these links or must I create each link manually?
Thx

Hi Rod,
at least until solman version 7.0 ehp1 i'm not aware of any automatic way to do that. Maybe in the 7.1 could be any other option, maybe importing from any external tool.
I believe that the only things you can do in a node and replicate to the subnodes are the settings in the administration tab.
Kind regards, Fabricius

Solution Manager Project

When creating a project in Solution Manager (solar_project_admin) I am receiving an error when creating the IMG View for the remote system. The message states that I am not authorized to display the project even though I have SAP_ALL and SAP_NEW authorizations in both systems. When reading the extended help for the error (SPROJECT322) it states that I need the value 03 for the field ACTVT in the authorization object S_PROJECT, but I have confirmed that this is already set.
It begins the process of creating the IMG in the remote system but does not complete the link back to the Solution Manager project.
Are there any other reasons why this type of behavior might occur?

Prince Jose
Thank you for your suggestion, but let me provide you with a little more information to see if this is still the correct action to take.
I currently have SAP_ALL and SAP_NEW authorizations in Solution Manager along with many different role assignments. In the satellite systems I have the IMG_CUS_ADMIN role for managing the projects when they are published to those systems.
In my most recent work I created a project in Solution Manager using 4 different logical components (BI, ECC, SCM, and SRM) for the systems that this project would interact with. With my current Solution Manager security and authorizations I was able to create the IMG view from Solution Manager to the BI, SCM, and SRM systems, but received my error message described above for the ECC system.
Based on that do you think I would still look at my security in the Solution Manager system, or a configuration in the satellite system?

Exporting a Solution Manager project

Hello Solman experts,
My prof. wants to know if it is possible to export a solution manager project to another Solution Manager. So experts, how to do an export of an project an how to import it in another one? If there is no possibilty please tell me also!!
Thank you for answering!

Hi Simon,
It is true that the transport is easy if the connection for transport between the systems is created correctly.
But the consequences are delicate.
E.g. a project that is assigned to a released transport request cannot be deleted.
And there are difficulties to change the projects in both systems back to be local. Any change to the origin project needs authority to add the change to the transport if the project is not defined to be local ($TMP in transport tab).
To avoid this problem you can copy the project first by the transaction SOLAR_PROJECT_ADMIN and then transport the copy.
Another point of view is: If the origin project was defined to be local ($TMP in transport tab) some assigned objects may got lost (e.g. links, assigned users, testers). On the other hand: if you define the transport request first before creating objects to the project you enhance effort for maintaining the project. Because any change has to be added to the transport request. And the users need the authorities to do so.
I hope this additional information helps you too.
Best regards,
Adelbert

Linking solution manager projects with CHARM implementation project

Hi Guys,
Currently i am working in CHARM implementation project, i have created one CHARM implementation project with urgent correction and i am able to create the Transport request and release the transport request succesfully and i am able to move it to quality system successfully. But my customer is asking to link the solution manager project to CHARM implementation project.
Earlier before implementing CHARM they have implemented project managent in solution manager, during that project they have created so many projects which are currently running, now they want those projects to be linked CHARM implementation project.
When ever they create a transport request through CHARM they want the TP to be saved under a respective project which they are using currently. but according to my knowledge the TP can be saved under CHARM implementation project only.
Now i want to know whether the projects created in SOLAR_PROJECT_ADMIN can be linked to CHARM implementation project. Pls give ur valuable inputs as it is very urgent.
Thanks&Regards
Raju

Hello,
We have implemented this with two systems landscape where in we have in place a Solution Manager Dev system and Solution manager Production system both are SOLMAN 4.0 with SP12. So the path for us to move the changes is from Development Systems to Production system.
We have ChaRM between the Dev and production. We reapplied the satellite system concept. For us the Solution manager Prod is a satellite systems all the changes that we move from Development system to Production systems is tracked with necessary documentation in the ChaRM process.
Yes, I agree with you that this is not any big magic. Working with two SOLMAN implementation, I strongly feel that SAP needs to have well rounded ChaRm processes. We have robust Change Management Process, but when we moved to ChaRM we were limited functionality of the ChaRM processes.
I had approached and did some research on how other companies are implementing the same process. Most of them have almost the same process for tracking SOLMAN changes. I am still look out for improved process to manage SOLMA changes.
Hope this helps!!! Thanks

How to export all documents of a Solution Manager Project?

Hello,
I am currently trying to export all documents that exist inside a Solution Manager project (which documents these are, I can see via SI80 -> select project). That means, I need to export between 300 and 7000 documents from SAP to a MS Windows directory.
Is there any way to do this automatically?
My approaches so far:
1) Use the "Knowledge Workbench" tool to connect to the Knowledge Warehouse of the Solution Manager and "check out" all documents to the specific project.
Problem: The resulting local folder structure is horrifying and all documents are not named by their titles as seen in SAP, but named after the template that was used to create them. So flattening the folder structure would result in many, many name collisions.
2) Using SOLAR02 to get an overview over all documents via "Environment->Project Analysis->Assignments->Documentation", and selecting everything.
Problem: I found no download option here, only some kind of overview over all documents.
The forum threads:
[Re: download all document in SOLAR01]
[Mass download of documents from SM to PC;
didn't help either.
I would appreciate any help.
Thanks!

Hello Andreas,
You might take a peak at this link
Export of SOLMAN-project
SOLAR_PROJECT_ADMIN can also copy documentation, plus there is more information on SAP Knowledge Workbench.
Using it for the first time is a bit cryptic so they recommend reading the SAP Notes 336968 , 196078 and 817529.
erhaps worth a view?

Difference between a Solution Manager project, and IMG project.

Hello,
We are in process of installing and thereby configuring scenarios for Solman 4.
While reading about it on help.sap.com, I came across following:

"The Change Tracking function of Change Request Management allows you to track everything that relates to changes within the context of a Solution Manager project, or an IMG project."
Please help me here by clarifying difference between two.
regards, Shantanu

Hi Shantanu,
Let us assume you have captured everything w.r.to an SAP Implementation project in Solution Manager and this project has gone live. Here all details relating to an SAP Project are captured in a Solution Manager Project. Solution Manager project acts as a container to hold all the details relating to the SAP Project.
Now when this SAP Project comes in the support/maintenance phase, whenever a small change needs to be done to this SAP Solution, it will be raised as a Change Request. This change request will be captured in Solution Manager (starting from the point when the request was raised from an end user as a support message, which eventually might have evolved as a Change Request). All details about this change request, its approval workflow, task control being transferred to different roles(people), movement of the request along the transport path, everything is captured and controlled in the Solution Manager Project.
So, we are clear about Solution Manager Project now.
What is an IMG Project?
For each and every component involved in this SAP project, an IMG project will be created with the same name as the Solution Manager Project in the component systems. These IMG projects in the Satellite systems are the same as the normal Project IMGs which we use in any SAP Project to hold all details relating to an SAP Project w.r.to that component.
In the context specified by you, it has been told that any changes w.r.to a Solution Manager project or an IMG project can be tracked in CHARM. It is because any change that is requested w.r.to any component(say SRM or ECC) will result in a change in the details captured in Solution Manager project about that SAP Project, and also will result in a change in the details captured in the appropriate Project IMG (say SRM or ECC).
Hope it is clear.
Dont forget to reward points for useful answers.

Solution Manager project views

Dear friends,
In Solution Manager, t.code SOLAR_PROJECT_ADMIN, i have created IMG project & Project views. Both(IMG projects & project views) are in green colour.
Both the IMG projects & project views are now available in R/3.
Under project view, i have selected some SPRO activities (for example Logistics execution i have selected ) from IMG screen & also assigned the project view to one R/3 user.
Then in SOLAR02, under configuration tab, i am giving some t.code SPRO & executing the t.code. It is taking me to R/3 but i can view the entire IMG screen instead of what i selected in project view ( I have selected only logistics execution in project view).
Now he can make configuration in all nodes rather than what he has been assigned in project view.
Then what is the importance of assigning project views for users?
Please give your input to restrict the IMG views for users.
Thanks

Linking Solution Manager Project Documentation - MS Sharepoint

Hello,
When working on a project in Solman we upload documents as needed in each phase or scenario. This is well known to all... But we already also, have an MS Sharepoint portal sometimes with documents already stored there.
Is there a way to include the link to sharepoint ?
In other words.. Is there a way to utilize the folder structure provided by sharepoint in solution manager without replicating documents ?

Hello,
I think we found a way... Just during uploading a file to Solman, choose the option "web link", then your documentation tile will jump to the sharepoint folders.
Thanks,,

Solution Manager Project Title

Is anyone aware of a method to get the project name in the title of the screen when an associate runs Solution Manager? If you look at the standard screen it displays a generic title like "Maintenance Cycle M000000010" or "Implementation Project I000000054".
Is anyone aware of a way (other than modifying SAP code) to get the screen to display the project title. Yes, I realize the project name is displayed in the body of the screen. We have a request to see if there's a way to make the project title more pronounced.

Solution Manager project export / import

Hi,
is there any possibility to export the project files from Solution Manager, change some data in an other program and then import them back to solution manager? This whole import/export process should work automatically.
The entire thing is to avoid that the users have to work with the Solution Manager instead of their usual and well known programs for project management.
Regards

Hi Andreas,
Currently there is no possibility to perform this.

System out of memory when exporting/migrating Solution Manager

Dear all,
since we decided to migrate our Solution Manager (win2003/sql server 2005) system to a more appropriate server, we started an export using the NW70sr2 installation master CD, the one we used to install this solution manager instance.
Everything went ok up to the Java export phase, here we caught an out of memory issue, here's the relevant part of the sapinst.dev.log file:

Actually we used a workaroud to complete the phase, ie we menually re-issued the command and changed the heap value from -Xmx512m to -Xmx1024m
Is there a way to defalut the sapinst to pass to the java export command an higher java heap value, ie -Xmx1024m ?
Thanks in advance and cheers.
Franco.

It sounds like you may have a corrupt render file in your 7th episode. You can set in and out points in 5 minute increments and export those segments to narrow down which clip is the offending clip. Then re-render the offending clip.
I hope this helps.

Solution Manager project - no roadmap available for CRM 7.0 EhP3

Hi all,
I'm setting up a new project in solution manager for an upgrade.
However, in my roadmap selection tab, there's no roadmap for CRM 7.0 EhP3 (or even EhP2).
Is this just not available or can/should I update this list?
Many thanks and with kind regards,
Yee-Tee

Hello,
There are two possibilities I see here.
1-Your roadmap list is not up-to-date.
2-There is no roadmaps for these specific product/version delivered for the solman.
I would recommend you to first check the ST-ICO package SP level. The whole documentation content (Roadmaps, BPR, templates,...) are delivered by this component, so in order to have the complete and must up-to-date list, you'll need the latest SP-level.

I hope this helps.

Solution Manager Project Authorization

Dear Friends,
I have come across one authorization object namely "S_PROJ_AUTH.
What is the importance of this object?
In that object, field name, PROJAUTH, system asking me to enter project number. But i know only project name. From where i can the project number for my project name?
Even i can input only 3 digit value in "Project number" field.
Plz guide me
Thnaks
Senthil

Hi Ragu,
Sorry..plz refer the following auth object:S_PRO_AUTH (New authorizations for projects) & field:PROJAUTH(Project number).
In Field "PROJAUTH"---I need to enter 3 digit project number. But i could not find project number for my projects. Even i am not possible to enter my name of the project, since system permits upto 3 digits.

Solution Manager & Workflow driven Transport Mangement

Dear SDN Members,
I would like to know if it is possible to use a workflow drivene TMS within the Solution Manager 3.2 using serveral approval steps. For instance an approval between DEV and QAS and an approval between QAS and PRD.
We would like to implement the workflow for our 4 system R/3 landscape, 3 system BW and XI landscape.
Regards,
Niek Weustink

Hi Mrutyunjay,
As far as I know, you can only attach one CTS project per Solution Manager Project.
The idea is that for each different project you have for your satellite systems you´ll have to have one Solution Manager project.
This way you can use the features on Solution Manager side to control all changes ( for instance, using Change Request Management ).
Part of the CTS functionalities that we have on standard SAP installations are being migrated to Solution Manager controls.
So, you can have as many CTS projects you need on your ECC as long as you have their correspondent Solution Manager projects.
Based on ITIL standards, Solution Manager is the central point to control all changes you make in your systems.

Valdecir
