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.

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.

  • 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.

    The system role and template work around doesn't apply to your situation.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • How to create the multiple spool requests for a single report.

    Hi gurus,
                     I have one requirement to be completed , i need to send the out put of the report via mail in pdf format. for that what i did was, iam executing report in background and creating spool request and converting it to pdf and sending the file.
    now the problem is, its a customer ledger report, for each customer i need to create a new spool request and send mail to that particular customer, now my dought is how to create multiple spool requests for a single pro and how i need to go about it.
    And one more question is can we create a spool request for a report which is running in online.
    waiting for inputs frm gurus.

    Hello,
    As per my knowledge for creating new spool id you will have to set
    output_options-tdnewid = 'X'.
    and then using
    job_output_info-spoolids
    create a pdf using
    call function 'CONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF'

  • Multiple PO's for a single PR reg

    Hi,
    The system incorrectly allows multiple PO's for a single PR.Then,I configured message no 00 06 076 & 400 as a error message and system is not allowing mutiple PO's for single PR and if PO Qty is greater than PR it's not allowing and it's ok.
    Now the issue is If PR qty is 2 and as per requirement 1 qty for one vendor and one more qty for some other vendor and two PO's are to be created and the system is not allowing and throwing error message.
    Can you pl.throw some light on this issue.

    Hi
    It is not incorrect to have multiple POs for single vendor as we might have different vendors for the same item. Secondly the message setting what you have on 00/06/076/Materials of requisition & item & alr. ordered in full- E is used to stop POs being created from the PR once PR quanitity gets consumed.
    Now i do not think system will ever stop you from allowing to create multiple POs for a PR if you are distributing the Quantities between different vendors.
    By setting the message 00/06/400/Materials/services for requisition & & already ordered with & & to E mode you are blocking the PO creation with altaernate vendors change it to warning mode.

    To obtain that,all the fields required in the subreport i put them into a text box.Therein restricting the fields to the txt box only...
    Then import that sub-report as it is.

  • How To Send Multiple Spool Lists  from a Single Step in SM37

    We have converted all of our output reports to ALV and now instead of one big spool that contains all the reports generated in a single step we now have multiple spools.  We run the program as a Batch Job in SM37 and have created an entry in the SPOOL LIST RECIPIENT for the job.  The problem is that it only sends one of our lists.  Is there a way to make it send all of the ists?

    You need to write areport program with fm 'RSPO_RETURN_ABAP_SPOOLJOB'  and collect all spools and send it and make this as precedent job after your ALV spool jobs

  • Understanding and using Logical Components for Managed System configuration

    Experts.....
    I am embarking on a fresh installation of SolMan 7 EhP1 SPS25 and after a few bugs along the way, I am finally nearing the end of including the first Managed System.  Somewhat related to {forum:id=10293771] I am hoping I can get some advice, but specifically with regards to Logical Components.
    General question - I have a slide from SAP that shows a picture from Product->System->Instance->Logical System (client)->Logical Component.  I am confused because it shows that Client 100 of a given ABAP system could be assigned to Logical Component A, whereas Client 200 of the same system could be assigned to Logical Component B.  This seems wrong to me?
    I am at the last step of the managed systems configuration wizard : "create logical components" and only want to ensure that I set things up to hopefully ensure that later usages (Maintenance Optimizer, etc) will handle things correctly!!!
    - Our SAP landscape is not very complex
    1. only ERP and EP (Dev/Test/Prod). 
    2. We are utilizing HR Self Service (XSS).
    3. The ERP ABAP systems are on Netweaver 7.01. 
    4. EhP4 has been installed, however we only activated the HCM business functions.  Therefore SAP_HR is on 604 whereas SAP_APPL is on 600.  I think this might be driving some of the confusion in SMSY
    For the DEV ABAP system I am trying to configure:
    1. The system is showing up in two products : "SAP ERP" and "SAP ERP Enhancement Package" with the header data for both showing "EHP4 FOR SAP ERP 6.0 / NW7.01" and "SAP ERP 6.0"
    2. Under "SAP ERP" the "product instance selection" shows only "SAP NW - Adobe Docu. Service" and "SAP ECC Server" as relevant
    3. Under ""SAP ERP Enhancement Package" the "product instance selection" shows only "Human Capital Mgmt" as relevant by default.  I manually flagged the development portal system as "relevant" for "SAP XSS (Self Services)"
    4. The RCA DBA Cockpit system is complaining "No data available for extractor activation. Please check product mapping and Software Components in SMSY"
    5. In the Managed System wizard, there is no logical component for any of the "EHP4 FOR SAP ERP 6.0 / NW7.01" selections
    From what I can tell, I think this is correct:
    1. Create a Z_EHP4 logical component and assign the DEV/QAS/PRD systems to them
    2. Also assign the DEV/QAS/PRD to the existing SAP logical component "SAP ERP ECC SERVER"???
    3. For the Solutions, my plan is to create
    a. Non-Production ERP : with the dev/test erp/ep systems, but test system as the leading system
    b. Production ERP with the prod erp/ep systems only
    Thanks for any advice/guidance to help me avoid future problems!!

This seems wrong to me?
    Client 100 could be assigned to any number of logical components, client 200 could be assigned to those same ones or none of them. A logical component is just a grouping of systems used to accomplish some task in SolMan.
    For example with ChaRM you could have 2 logical components.
    ZCHARM_DEV development (100) -> QA (200) -> prod (300)
    ZCHARM_SEC security (900) -> QA (200) -> prod(300)
    One is used to show the path for moving development changes to prod, the other for security changes. 200 belongs to both, but 100 only to one.
    Set them up in whatever way meets you needs. It looks like for you, you could just use the default one and assign your clients to the various system roles. Not all functionality in SolMan uses the logical components though.

  • 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??

  • UCCE Unable to mix logical operators in a single step (PQs)

    Hi,
    I'm trying to configure this expression on a single step  (A&C)||(B&C). After setting the first logical operator the remaining ones get greyed out with the option you chose at the begining (attached). How can you get the result of the expression working then? lets say you want either a sales or support guy that speak Spanish. All attributes would need to go in the first step to have a fair distribution... to my knowledge (which is limited for PQs) if first step is true, call will be delivered to agents matching the condition correct?
    I'm using PCCE 9.0
    Cheers
    Isidro

    OK I missed a drop-down on the "add attribute" button which offers you "add expression" and allows you to change the logical operator!...need a coffee!

  • How to pass multiple MDX values for a single parameter into a drill-through report?

    I'm thinking this will be an easy question for any experienced SSRS/MDX developers, at least I hope so!  I've created a report that gives the user the option to choose viewing data for the current/active week, or YTD.  Depending on which link the
    user selects, the report simply calls itself and needs to pass in the parameter value for Active week.  If it's active week, the parameter value will simply be "true".  If it's YTD, the parameter value needs to be both "True" and "False" so the current
    week's data is accounted for as well.  I've set everything up except for the final step, and I have no idea what to type into the Value field below.  I've tried different things: false, as you see below (it errors saying I'm missing the parameter
    value), the value in MDX format: =[School Dates].[Active Week].&[True] (it said I was missing a bracket), a 1 instead of the word true (again, missing a parameter value).  Nothing is working.
    So my question is kindof two-fold: 1) how do you pass in the value at all and 2) more specifically, how do you pass in multiple values (both true & false) ??

    I'm sorry for being so dense, but I'm not quite following, although what I've tried makes me think if I can follow you, it will work :)
    To answer your initial questions, you are correct with both your assumptions:
    1) detailType is the parameter that specificies YTD/Weekly, this is a "report defined" parameter that I am using to determine which Row Group to display (either YTD or Weekly)
    2) SchoolDaysActiveWeek is the parameter that is being set to either true or false -- this is a field in the cube that states whether that record is for the current week or not
    So in following your instructions, well that's the problem I'm not quite following :)
    1) When you say Delete the SchoolDaysActiveWeek parameter from the report only, do you mean to mark the parameter as Hidden?  If so, I've done this.
    2) I'm not quite sure where to use the statement you provided me.  You said to put it in the dataset, but I don't know which dataset.  I assume you mean the "main" dataset (as opposed to the hidden dataset that gets generated when you mark a field
    as a parameter).  If this is the case, the only place I could see that would allow you to use such a statement is in the Filter section of the properties.  I tried this, and it did not generate any errors, but it also kept my report groups from displaying
    -- it just showed a blank report, so I think it probably wasn't bringing back any rows to populate them with.
    I also tried going into the Expression section for the SchoolDaysActiveWeek parameter in the second screenshot and placing the statement there.  When I did this and ran the report, I would get the following error:
    The 'SchoolDaysActiveWeek' parameter is missing a value
    So what am I missing!? 
    Also, thanks for taking the time to respond!!

  • Multiple Shipping Addresses for a single Ship-to-Party

    Hi all,
    How can we maintain multiple addresses for a single ship-to-party.
    The customer has 4 locations and whenever he places a order he wants the goods to be delivered to one or more than one address .How to do this?
    I tried to find it in the forum but I din't get a satisfactory answer.
    Regards,
    Ajit

    Ajit
    You may use Text for your requirment...
    Better Create a text type say Shipping Address... and assign to a sales order....
    Keep that in the Incomplete Log... so that when ever you process the sales order end user is in need to complete the Address....
    Another way is Ask ABAB er To change some field relevent to the customer as a Shipping address or may be Z field and use the same to the address..
    I have not used this check with your ABABer

  • Broadcasting via Bursting to multiple email address for a single vendor cod

    Hello -
    I have a requirement to broadcast out a web template based scorecard to multiple email addresses for a given vendor code.  We have gotten it to work via a single email address, but I need to send it to more than one email per vendor code.
    Has anyone else tried this?
    Thank you!

    Hi Chris,
    If my understanding is right, you must be using the master data of vendor Code(Which has an attribute to store Email IDs).
    You can add multiple email ID to the same master data separated by semi colon ";"
    If you are using user IDs instead, I dont think it is possible to use multiple user ID in the same attribute.
    in this case you need to enhance the master data with a new attribute to store the second user ID and the  create a separate setting for this attribute.
    Hope this helps.
    Regards.
    Shafi.
