Migration of "CRONACLE for SAP solutions" to "SAP CPS for Netweaver"

Hi,
We have standalone Cronacle/CPS 6.02. We are in the process of researching about migrating to "SAP CPS for Netweaver" like SAP CPS M33. We have the following questions.
1)Is a migration path available to migrate from "CRONACLE for SAP solutions" to "SAP CPS for Netweaver" ?.
2)What are the benefits of going to "SAP CPS for Netweaver" ?.
3)Is the migration can be done by ourselves or any SAP migration consultant is required?.
Please advise.
Thanks.
Raj.

Hi Laurence, Raj,
This question is very old and I had not seen it before.
To upgrade from CPS 6.0.2 or 7.0.4 to 8.0.0 (aka M33). I do not know if SAP consultancy offers anything for this, you want to check with them. SAP might refer you to Redwood, though.
As for the differences, where do I start ... ;-)
Actually, CPS 8 is a major platform shift. Version 6 and 7 were PL/SQL-based solutions, version 8 is Java-based. You have many more possibilities built-in, such as better XBP 3.0 support, web services, SAP BusinessObjects, SAP PI/XI control, ... the list could go on forever.
Some older platforms (very, very old) are no longer supported, afaik, but you get native z/OS (mainframe) platform agents, AS/400 agents ... the user interface is platform independent, so you can access it from any OS including, but not limited to, Windows, Unix, Linux, and Mac OS X. There is even an iPhone/iPad client.
BTW, I do not know how long version 6 and 7 are supported.
The platform shift means that you might have to use a PL/SQL API in version 8. I guess it depends on how much PL/SQL you use. If most of your jobs are SAP and OS jobs, you would not even need that.

HP

Cronacle for SAP Solutions vs. CPS

Hi,
For my understanding, can you confirm that Cronacle for SAP Solutions v8.0 (distributed by redwood) and CPS (distributed by SAP) are exactly the same product? I was told that CPS was a cronacle with some SAP custom enhancement that were not available to customers purchasing cronacle directly from redwood.
Regards, Regis

Cronalce and CPS are technically same products . Only difference is CPS can run over any netweaver instance whereas Cronalce is a system itself !

Which SAP Solution Manager is preferable for ABAPER

Hello,
I am interested in SAP Solution Manager.
I am able to see 3 kinds in SAP Certifications. Which would be preferable to ABAPer
Thanks
Prashanth.

Hi Prasad,
If you are trying to install an R/3 SAP version ( highly unlikely as we already have ECC 6.0 and hardly new installations are on 4.7 etc) you would not require a Solman.
But if you are trying to connect to a R/3 system you sure can connect and require a solman to monitor or generate EWA etc...
If you have any other specific query please put it forward clearly.
Hope it helps - award points if helpful.
Rgds,
Sri

Hello Richard,
(1) regarding network connections see document [Draft:Technical Support Network Connections for VAR Scenario|http://service.sap.com/~form/sapnet?_SHORTKEY=00200797470000089947&_OBJECT=011000358700000880802009E] as overview and with a lot of detailed information.
(2) yes, you have to setup once all your customer connections at the beginning but then only add/remove with customer contract changes
(3) the workaround by sending by email can handled a anexception. EWA has to be done for productive systems like nowadays done by SAP. Additional EWA services could meas additional business case for a VAR - that's contract between VAR and customer.
(4) whatever you think may be a business to sell - do it ! (and get a monetary bonus from your boss
Kind regards

Is SAP Solution manager mandatory for SRM7 implementation?

Dear experts,
I get to know that use of SAP solution manager is mandatory for SRM 7 implementation. is it true?
what is the best practice to manage a SAP SRM implementation project? should we manage the project in SAP SM or outside of it?
Thanks and regards,
Ranjan
Ranjan Sutradhar

Hi Ranjan,
Solution Manager is not mandatory for SRM 7 implementation.
Only thing is Solution Manager contains best pratices for Project implementation e.g AS is process , to be process, blue print etc.
It is just a guilde. All things might not be required for your project.
We did it without solution Manager except that we used it for generating installation key & for maintainance opt.
Best Wishes,
Tushar.

SAP Solution Manager for SAP Business Suite On HANA

Dear Experts,
I have a small question regarding the available installation options for SAP Solution Manager for SOH.
Is there other available database platforms for the installation of SAP Solution Manager than the SAP HANA Database ?
Meaning that if we have a customer who has the license for SAP HANA Database, does he have other database options for installing the Solution Manager that are covered by the HANA license ?
Kind Regards,
Mohamed Awny

Well if you can find the solution manager software for a DB other than HANA in service market then you can install.
You can check this by checking the service market SAP Technology Components" ==> SAP SOLUTION MANAGER" ==> SAP SOLUTION MANAGER 7.1
HANA is so fast why choose another DB?

SAP Solution Manager 7.0 Update into EHP1

Dear experts,
i'm planning to update a SAP Solution Manager SP15 into EHP1.
From the SAP Service Marketplace : service.sap.com/swdc, SAP Support Packages, Entry by Application Group, SAP Technology Components, SAP Solution Manager, SAP Solution Manager 7.0, SAP Stack: source stack (15), target stack (EHP1 SP21) THEN validate the download files from the Maintenance Optimizer. Finally download the files via Download Manager.
Before updating the SAP Solution Manager, i have to update the SPAM/SAINT Version + Kernel. I'm currently on Spam version 7.00/0026.
Just to be sure, my questions are :
Do i have to update my SPAM/SAINT version into 7.00/37 or into 7.01/37 before updating into EHP1?
Do i have to update the KERNEL version into 7.00 or into 7.01 before updating into EHP1?
Thank you for your help.
Regards,
Pascal.

Hi,

This should be done, once upgrade will finish.
