NetWwaver 2004s specific Accelerators (ASAP or Solution Manager)

I am deperately trying to get the latest version of BI accelerators for implementing BI Netweaver 2004s.
The only spot I see these being available are in the 'roadmap section of ASAP'.
Downloading the ASAP/SM roadmap takes forever, and has several password protected files.
Is there a zip file somewhere that ONLY contains Accelerators for Blueprint, Design, Realization, etc. I am only interested in deliverable templates by ASAP phase.
Thanks - and yes points will be rewarded

Difference between Solution manager and ASAP

Hi All,
Can anyone tell me what's the difference between SAP solution manager and ASAP?
Regards
Saroj

ASAP stands For Accelerated SAP........its a SAP implementation methodology. It consists of Five phases---
1. Project Preparation
2. Business Blueprint
3. Realization phase
4. Final preparation phase
5. Go live and Support
For Solution manager u can follow this link:
http://www.sap.com/services/pdf/BWP_SB_SAP_Solution_Manager.pdf
ASAP and Solution Manager are tools used for managing SAP implementation and roll out project. Both supports sevral stages of the project as mention by Raj.
The main Difference between three tools (ASAP, VSAP and Solution Manager) are as follow:
ASAP:
- Offline CD set with tools, content and a methodology for component-based implementation projects
VSAP:
- Offline CD set with tools, content and methodologies for Evaluation, Implementation and Continuous Business Improvement
- ASAP CD set is used as a tool platform. ASAP content is included to cover the implementation phase
Solution Manager:
- Onsite platform to support key implementation actitivities
- Including key ASAP concepts and tool features
- Enhanced concepts to encompass the specifics of mySAP.com implementations
- Integrated platform to support Implementation and operation of mySAP.com
- Solution Manager is server based tool.
More informaiton you can find from the following links:
ValueSAP : https://www.service.sap.com/valuesapupdates
Solution Manager: http://service.sap.com/solutionmanager
some documents what is the duty of asap and solution manager i think with u can understand the difference.
asap means,
ASAP
ASAP stands for Accelerated SAP. Its purpose is to help design SAP implementation in the most efficient
manner possible. Its goal is to effectively optimize time, people, quality and other resources, using a proven
methodology to implementation.
ASAP focuses on tools and training, wrapped up in a five-phase process oriented roadmap for guiding
implementation.
The road map is composed of five well-known consecutive phases:
Phase 1 Project Preparation
Phase 2 Business Blueprint
Phase 3 Realization
Phase 4 Final Preparation
Phase 5 Go-Live and support
In today's post we will discuss the first phase.
Phase 1 : Project Preparation
Phase 1 initiates with a retrieval of information and resources. It is an important time to assemble the
necessary components for the implementation. Some important milestones that need to be accomplished
for phase 1 include
Obtaining senior-level management/stakeholder support
identifying clear project objectives
architecting an efficient decision-making process
creating an environment suitable for change and re-engineering
building a qualified and capable project team.
Senior level management support:
One of the most important milestones with phase 1 of ASAP is the full agreement and cooperation of the
important company decision-makers - key stakeholders and others. Their backing and support is crucial for a
successful implementation.
Clear project objectives:
be concise in defining what your objectives and expectations are for this venture. Vague or unclear notions of
what you hope to obtain with SAP will handicap the implementation process. Also make sure that your
expectations are reasonable considering your company's resources. It is essential to have clearly defined
ideas, goals and project plans devised before moving forward.
An efficient decision making process:
One obstacle that often stalls implementation is a poorly constructed decision-making process. Before
embarking on this venture, individuals need to be clearly identified. Decide now who is responsible for
different decisions along the way. From day one, the implementation decision makers and project leaders
from each area must be aware of the onus placed on them to return good decisions quickly.
Environment suitable for change and re engineering:
Your team must be willing to accept that, along with new SAP software, things are going to change, the
business will change, and information technology enabling the business will change as well. By
implementing SAP, you will essentially redesign your current practices to model more efficient or predefined
best business practices as espoused by SAP. Resistance to this change will impede the progress of your
implementation.
Building a qualified project team:
Probably the most important milestone early in assembling a project team for the implementation. If you are
implementing the materials management and plant maintenance modules, you need to include people from
both of these departments. The team should also represent management as well as non management or
"functional" personnel. Sometimes management is less aware of the day-to-day functions of an organization,
including how implementing SAP will tactically influence those function
ASAP- Second Phase- Business Blueprint
SAP has defined a business blueprint phase to help extract pertinent information about your company that is
necessary for implementation. These blueprints are in the form of questionnaires that are designed to probe
for information that uncovers how your company does business. As such, they also serve to document the
implementation. Each business blueprint document essentially outlines your future business processes and
business requirements. The kinds of questions asked are germane to the particular business function, as
seen in the following sample questions:
1) What information do you capture on a purchase order?
2) What information is required to complete a purchase order?
Accelerated SAP question and answer database:
The question and answer database (QADB) is a simple although aging tool designed to facilitate the creation
and maintenance of your business blueprint. This database stores the questions and the answers and
serves as the heart of your blue print. Customers are provided with a customer input template for each
application that collects the data. The question and answer format is standard across applications to
facilitate easier use by the project team.
Issues database:
Another tool used in the blueprinting phase is the issues database. This database stores any open concerns
and pending issues that relate to the implementation. Centrally storing this information assists in gathering
and then managing issues to resolution, so that important matters do not fall through the cracks. You can
then track the issues in database, assign them to team members, and update the database accordingly.
ASAP Phase- 3 - Realization:
With the completion of the business in phase 2, "functional" experts are now ready to begin configuring SAP.
The Realization phase is broken in to two parts.
1) Your SAP consulting team helps you configure your baseline system, called the baseline configuration.
2) Your implementation project team fine-tunes that system to meet all your business and process
requirements as part of the fine tuning configuration.
The initial configuration completed during the base line configuration is based on the information that you
provided in your blueprint document. The remaining approximately 20% of your configuration that was not
tackled during the baseline configuration is completed during the fine tuning configuration. Fine tuning
usually deals with the exceptions that are not covered in baseline configuration. This final bit of tweaking
represents the work necessary to fit your special needs.
Configuration Testing:
With the help of your SAP consulting team, you segregate your business processes into cycles of related
business flows. The cycles serve as independent units that enable you to test specific parts of the business
process. You can also work through configuring the SAP implementation guide (IMG). A tool used to assist
you in configuring your SAP system in a step-by-step manner.
Knowledge Transfer:
As the configuration phase comes to a close, it becomes necessary for the Project team to be self-sufficient
in their knowledge of the configuration of your SAP system. Knowledge transfer to the configuration team
tasked with system maintenance (that is, maintenance of the business processes after Go-live) needs to be
completed at this time.
In addition, the end users tasked with actually using the system for day-to-day business purposes must be
trained.
ASAP Methodology - Phase 4 - Final Preparation:
As phase 3 merges into phase 4, you should find yourselves not only in the midst of SAP
training, but also in the midst of rigorous functional and stress testing. Phase 4 also
concentrates on the fine tuning of your configuration before Go-live and more importantly, the
migration of data from your old system or systems to SAP.
Workload testing (including peak volume, daily load, and other forms of stress testing), and
integration or functional testing are conducted to ensure the accuracy of your data and the
stability of your SAP system. Because you should have begun testing back in phase 2, you do
not have too far to go until Go-live. Now is an important time to perform preventative
maintenance checks to ensure optimal performance at your SAP system.
At the conclusion of phase 4, take time to plan and document a Go-live strategy. Preparation for
Go-live means preparing for your end-users questions as they start actively working on the new
SAP system.
ASAP - Phase 5 - Go-live and Support:
The Go-live milestone is itself is easy to achieve; a smooth and uneventful Go-live is another
matter altogether. Preparation is the key, including attention to what-if scenarios related not only
to the individual business processes deployed but also to the functioning of technology
underpinning these business processes and preparation for ongoing support, including
maintenance contracts and documented processes and procedures are essential

Re: ASAP Solution Roadmaps in Solution Manager 3.1

Hi friends,
our functional people are asking about solution ASAP roadmaps. are these solution ASAP roadmaps are pre-loaded into solution manager when it is installed? if not where we can get from? As of now we have a generic ASAP roadmap loaded into SM.
How to access these solution roadmaps in Solution manager?
any help would be highly appreciated
Thanks,
Mohan

Hello Krishna,
Although the ASAP Roadmap that is displayed when you run the RMMAIN transaction is generic, it has the solution specific content. To display this content you have to apply filters on the roadmap. There are 3-filters (Flavors, Roles, Subject Areas). Filter for Flavors to display the roadmap for your requirement (BW, APO etc)
If you already upgraded to Sol man 3.2, there is new updated ASAP Roadmap which has lot of content (accelerators etc) than the roadmap in sol man 3.1 - Please review the notes for
the latest information

Upgrade ASAP roadmap content in Solution Manager

Hello,
Does anyone of you know how to upgrade the ASAP roadmap content in solution manager?
Current we have solution manager 4.0, SP12. The version of the ASAP roadmap content is V3.6 (Dec. 2006). We currently found from the service marketplace the lastest ASAP implementation roadmap (V3.7)

Is it possible to somehow "upload" this new version into Solution Manager roadmap to replace the older version? Or how should we get the roadmap content upgraded?
Many thanks for your input!!

It is delivered in ST-ICO SAP Solution Manager Implementation Cont. Ver 3.6 is in SP11, I would imagine V3.7 is in SP 13.
You would have to up your service pack or use the standalone one until then.

Implementing ASAP Methodology using SAP Solution Manager

Hi All,
Can any one help me with any documentation regarding ASAP methodology implementation using Solution Manager.
The step by step process and transaction codes used for implementing it are there any guides provided by SAP for implementing the ASAP methodology in Solman.
It's an implementation project that we would like to track each phase in Solman.
Kindly help me to get more details.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
There are the 'ASAP Implementaion Roadmaps' wheras the latest available
is the 'ASAP Methodology for Implementation 7.0' Roadmap, and there are
the 'Upgrade Roadmaps' wheras teh lastest one of them is:
'Upgrade Roadmap (V3.2)'.
If you are on ST-ICO 150 SP24 both of these Roadmaps
should be available in your system.
There are two ways to display the roadmaps in RMMAIN.
One is to choose a project in RMMAIN, then the roadmap assigned to
the project in SOLAR_PROJECT_ADMIN is displayed.
The other one is to display any available roadmap in the system
To display one of the available roadmaps (without a project) choose
the button 'Other Roadmap' in RMMAIN and in the upcomming popup
hit the button 'No Project'.
After that you should get an addtional button besides the Project
button called Roadmaps (Other Roadmap).
When you hit now this button you will get a list of all available
roadmaps.
Some further notes for referencing (although they can be old but still helpful)

Can some one tell how it can be brought in and made available in Solution manager system. Is it done through a SAP note? If not where do we can get this roadmap? I know the HTML version is available in service matketplace but we want the roadmap to be assigned in Solution manager project.

ASAP Focus methodology in Solution Manager 4.0

Hi
I got a request about including the ASAP Focus methodology into Solution Manager. I have found the ASAP Focus Implementation .zip file, and I have unpacked it on the Solution Manager server. My question is how (and if) I can upload this information into Solution Manager 4.0?
Thanks for your input!
Best Regards,
Thomas

Dear Thomas,

http://service.sap.com/solutionmanager -> Download -> Other content
After download it, you can import it into your system via STMS.
Note 826586 can be reviewed for further details.
Hope this answers your query.

Solution Manager Key for EP '04 - EP 2004s

Well, we just started the upgrade of our EP '04 SP18 to EP 2004s ST11. However, the PREPARE is rejecting the Solution Manager Key (generated in SSM 3.2). We came across OSS Note 811923 which says:
For SAP ERP 2004 (SAP ECC 5.0), you require SAP Solution Manager 3.1 with Support Package 20, or SAP Solution Manager 3.2 with Support Package 4. You can also use SAP Solution Manager 4.0.
For products of SAP Business Suite 2005 (including SAP NetWeaver 2004s), you require at least SAP Solution Manager 4.0 with Support Package 9.
I guess we are hosed up until we upgrade our Sap Solution Manager system to 4.0. Does anyone know a work-around for this?
thanks in advance,
Steven McElwee, Duke University

Hi Steven,
Not sure of any workaround for it but you have a couple of options;
1) Install a new solution manager 4.0 as a temporary work around to get a valid key
2) Raise an OSS message to request support to assist you.
Solution manager is really now a required utility system for your core apps. Even after you have the migration key it is likely that post migration you will have issues that may require patches from the service market place. As of April 2nd this year you need solution manager (4.0) Diagnostics for this.
For these reasons I would urge you to move to Solution Manager 4.0 sooner rather than later.

Solution Manager can't generate installation key for Netweaver 2004s

I am trying to generate installation key for a new installation of
Netweaver 2004s or 7.0 and the Solution Manager only display SAP ECC
5.0 or 6.0 in the field production version, when i am trying do create
a new system landscape. My Solution Manager is 4.0 release and support
package 10. The keys generated by ECC 5.0 or 6.0 doesn't work.

That is because SAP has not released an ECC 7.0
NW2004s is also refered to as 7.0. It appears that you are confusing this with ECC 5.0 and ECC 6.0
A NW2004s installation can contain an ECC5.0 or ECC 6.0, just like it can contain a CRM 5.0 or SRM, or EP, et cetera
The generated keys probably do not work because you have wrong hostname or instance number entered.

Hi,
You have two types of methodologies to implement SAP.
1. ASAP (Step based methodology & Question & Answer Database Model)
Phase 1: Project Preparation
Phase 2: Business Blueprint
Phase 3: Realization
Phase 4: Final Preparation
Phase 5: Go Live & Support
2. Solution Manager (Advance to ASAP & Process based)
This is an advanced to ASAP, we will follow the same steps mentioned in the ASAP methodology but it is completely process driven. As per the business process flow the SAP Implementation flowes the process.

Is Solution Manager necessary for 2004S install?

We are wanting to install this on a sandbox. Do we have to install Solution Manager first or is this only related to the license key for the 2004S portal?
Thanks

Hi
You need Solution Manager for the key as you mentioned.
On the operation site it is recommended to have solution manager and especially diagnostics when using WebAS Java components like i.e. portal. SM Diagnostics comes with a good set of tools for root-cause-analysis and SAP support will also used them.
On the implementation site I do not think that you absoultly need SM, but I think that tools in SM will help you speed up the implementation. But here an implementation consultant should answer!

I am about to install IDES ERP 2004 on a test desktop system and I would like to know if I also need to install solution manager, any suggestions?
Thanks

Hi Frank,
Welcome to SDN!
You can find the guide for ERP 2004 installation at
http://service.sap.com/instguides -> ERP 2004. Its
the same as a DB instance isntallation. You just have to
provide the IDES DVDs. No need to install the solution manager.

How to manage to send specific alerts to specific groups in solution manager

Hi,
I have a solution manager 7.1 in our landscape and SMQ1 and SMQ2 alerts have been monitored and notifications are being send to Recipient ID mentioned in mail server list.
But the mail ID which was added in the list will get all the notifications of all the Metrics which was active in the template. Is there any way to send specific notifications to specific mailing group.
For example I need to send all the notifications related to ECC server to one group and all the notifications related to R/3 server to a different group.
Can someone help me in getting the solution for this.

Hi,
you can control the email notification, either the global template specific or locally with the alert specific.
please set the notification settings in alert specific. choose particular alert and add the ids there.
moreover ECC and R3 falls on different template, so choose the corresponding template and set the recipient list there.
Thanks

ASAP Methodology Vs. Solution Manager

Dear all,
Could some one compare and contrast "ASAP Methodoly" and "Solution Manager"? How do we use Solution Manager while implmenting project?
Thank you all.
Regards,
Mamta

Hi,
If you are planning for an upgrade project then all the phases (VIz Project preparation , Business blueprint etc ) can be done using SOLMAN. You can say its a central system which provides you vivid functionalites like monitoring , administrating , support desk . Also if you are having any issue with your product then you can search the notes in the internal solution manager's database .
ASAP is a methodology , it provides tools to follow some of the project activities .
I think this is a SAP - NetWeaver Administration query and hence you would more insight if you post a new thread there .
Reward point if found help.

SureshP.
