Planning for a major project

I'm about to dive into a major project that will use lots of
Flash Remoting, CFCs and a large database. I need some help
though...
Wwhat do people usually use to map out their entire project
before they start? I guess I could call it a flow chart... That
might not be the right word though. I have all the ideas and have
written out function descriptions for my CFCs and stuff, but I'm
not sure how it will all tie together. That's why I need your help,
any suggestions would help a lot.
Thank you,
Sam

Ah yes, the almighty gModeler! Haha yeah thats a great
application.
Well there's going to be a plethora of Coldfusion Components,
and probably 10-20 class files. Not too big, but I'm expecting a
massive amount of CFCs, probably 30 or so. Has anyone used MS Visio
or MS Project? What do you think of those for projects like this?
Thanks
Sam

Software tools for use in planning P to V project

I'm looking to plan for a P2V project. Which software tools are helpful in the process, and in what way?
For example, using capacity planner to establish baselines. What else should I use Capacity Planner for?
What other software tools should be used, and what information will they give me to help prepare for the P2V?

Activate Integrated Planning for Cost Line Items posting

Hi all,
Based on this SAP Help link, there are two ways to create plan line items:
1) By adding the business transaction "Plan line items" to the user status of the WBS Element.
2) By activating Planning Integration a.k.a. Integrated Planning for version and WBS Element/Project Profile.
Option 1 works fine for me.
However, option 2 does not seem to be working when I activate it, contradicting the state from the link:
If planning integration is active in the fiscal-year-dependent parameters of the relevant planning versions, the system writes cost element planning line items for plan-integrated WBS elements, regardless of user status.
So far what I have customized is:
-In transaction OKEV, select the version, click on "Settings for Each Fiscal Year" and double click for the year. Then I mark both "Integrated Planning" and "Integrated planning with cost center/bus. processes" checkboxes.
-Activate "Integrated Planning" at Project Profile level: go to transaction OPSA, select Project Profile, go to tab "Controlling" and mark "Integrated Planning".
Nevertheless, when I post plan costs from transaction CJR2 using the customizing above (based on second option), I see no cost lines when running CJI4.
I wonder if there is something missing in customizing that allows me to see posted cost line items in CJI4. I would appreciate very much your help.
Many thanks and best regards,
Pablo

Hi Gokul,
Many thanks for the link to that threat, Rachel Tang's reply on that discussion is very complete and included the answer to my question.
She comments that three points must be checked to activate Integration Planning:
1) Mark "Integrated Planning" at CO Version/Year level (SPRO > Controlling > General Controlling > Organization > Maintain versions).
2) Mark "Integrated Planning with costs centers/bus. processes" at CO Version/Year level (same transaction).
3) Ensure WBS Element has Integration Planning marked (PRPS-PLINT = X). [It looks like this is done automatically by marking Project Integration at Project Profile level BEFORE project is created]
In my case, I had first and second steps correct. However, even though I had marked Integration Planning at Project Profile level, it seems that already created Project Definitions are not updated with new Integrated Planning value after it is changed at Project Profile level.
Maybe it is possible to modify WBS Element's Integration Planning flag manually (though SAP OSS Note 301917 states that this is impossible), otherwise I could never achieve Integration Planning for already created projects.
In my case it would be more suitable to use the alternative of adding Business Transaction "Write plan line items" to User Status.
Many thanks to Sanjeev and Gokul for your help.
Best regards,
Pablo

Ideas for my Senior Project?

I'm a computer science student and I'm planning for my senior project next year.
I've proposed to do a power consumption meter application for Network Administrators. It's supposedly gonna gather power consumption information from the server and from the workstations within the local network.
I wanna do this kind of project because my university prefers projects to be somehow beneficial to the community and environment, and this tool will somehow help network administrators to keep track of their energy consumption and aid them in being more cost-efficient, not to mention environment-friendly, when it comes to networking.
The only programming language I know well is Java. But so far I dunno how I'm gonna do this project.
The only idea I have is that I have to be able to access hardware information, and also be able to access it over a network protocol. That way, I guess i can estimate power consumption from each of the hardware unit models used in the network.
Do you guys have any more ideas on how this project can be done?
Thanks in advance.

You must have missed what I was saying:
Hardware interfacing is done in C/C++ or some other language other than Java. Java supports an interface to communicate with other routines developed in C/C++ or any language that will support a C/C++ calling structure. This interface is called JNI and is meant to allow your Java portion of your application to communicate/interface with your C/C++ portion of your application. JNI requires the "*.h" files created for you C/C++ project.
Other than being a lot of C/C++ code and a JNI component, your project should be fairly straight forward.

Create Test Plan from Solution or Project

Hi,
When creating a Test Plan does it matter if it is from the Solution or a Project?
thanks

Hi,
I guess the first question should be which version of Solution Manager are you using, 7.0 or 7.1.
The process is typically to create a project, document the business process hierarchy, assign Test Cases to the business process hierarchy, and create a test plan which allows you to select the processes to be tested and the test cases. If there are no test cases assigned to processes then the test plan cannot be created.
A simple rule is that an Implementation Project is used to implement new business processes and during this project you document the processes including test cases. These test cases can be assigned to a test plan and executed. When the project passes the go-live the documentation you have created during the implementation project can be copied to a Solution. This is when the Solution is updated with documentation relating to the productive environment.
From a documentation perspective the Solution will therefore provide all the documentation associated with the productive landscape, including the test cases you have used as a basis for your test documents in the test plan. When you change a productive business process you can use a maintenance project to check out the documentation from the Solution, change the documentation, and then check in the changed document.
For Test Cases the same logic applies. If you need to change a Test Case you can check it out to the maintenance project, create a test plan for the maintenance project and perform the testing.
The important note is that the Solution should reflect the productive environment and a project should reflect the project environment. The benefit is control and traceability.

MS Project plan for the upgrade of 10.7 SC to 11i

Can some kind person supply me with a MS Project plan for the
upgrade of 10.7SC to 11i. Our applications are GL/AP/FA/Project
Acc. Any other doco would be most helpful.
Thank you
[email protected]

We have completed our first upgrade of FA from 10.7 SC to 11i. Most issues arose from the introduction of WorkFlow for Account Generator. In addition we have had difficulty activating the "security by book" new feature. This is still under investigation. We upgraded PO, AP, FA and GL. I can say that more than half of our time has been spent resolving FA issues.
The length of time the task will take will depend on which functionality you use. Have you seen the upgrade kit on metalink? it has all the upgrade steps. From that you could determine how many steps you need to perform.
Hope this helps.

Cost planning for a project

Hi Experts,
Can anybody tell is there is any t-code to mass change of the cost planning for a project. If there is a t-code please explain me the procedure how to do it.
Thanks & Regards
Raman T S

You can budegt a project by:
1. Transferring the values in the cost planning as budget.
2. Entering the budget directly into the WBS element.
PS STD cycle of creating Project is as follows:
1. Creating the Project in the Project builder
2. Using the relationships to link the activities
3. Planning the output & duration of activities
4. Sceduling the Project
5. Planning Costs
6. Allocating budget
7. Releasing the Project for execution
Choose Original Budget.
In the Planned total column, you see the values copied from cost planning.
Select the planned total column.
Choose Edit ® Copy view.
Percentage rate-100
Overwrite- Select
In the dialog box, enter the following data:
The system copies the values from cost planning into the budget.
Hope ur prob will be solved

Advance material planning for projects

Dear All,
We have a scenario for fabrication industry. Where client want to plan material procurement in advance for manufacture FG. But BOM of FG will come in later stage when design phase get finished in phases. Initial for cost planning and material procurement planning, they are finding out requirement of material quantities and costing happened on it. This material is planned for procurement, while the BOM will prepared in later design stage. FG are assigned to project activities, and project MRP will give planned orders. these material bom will rolled cost to activities, cost will get doubled and material too. How to handle this scenario, Any standard solution.

Hi Shrikant,
The advance procurement material list should be prepared and then it should be attached in initial stage to project.
Header(X)
Line item 1
Line item 2
This advance procurement BOM should be attached such that
the header(X) will become text item after attachment and
for the line items the Preq will be generated.
For this line item should be make to stock procurement type
and this should behave as dependent and independent requirement
and there will be no duplicacy of the requirements.
You need to dicuss this with PP consultant.

Would you do a major project in LR4 right now? (looking for feedback - I am not ranting)...

I have a major project this week where over 6 days I wil need to generate a couple of hundred keepers and produce slide show from them for an incentive trips awards banquet. I am not interested or concerned about using LR4 or LR3 for the slide show, I have a seperate workflow in FC7. The photos also upon my return to states are also posted to a photo sharing site for the members of the incentive trip to download for their personal use. This puts a premium of on metadata and keywording.
I am an enthusiast shooting Olympus E-5 and have used LR4 since the Beta to process some weekend projects. I have found that Process 2012 is, as promised is much better at dealing with highlights and shadows and prefer how the process deals with ORF files. Much truer colors with less tweaking. For whatever reason, Process 2010 never has dealt as well as my taste would like with the E-5's RAW files. Never hd this issue with my previous 4/3 Oly bodies. Needess to say LR 4 for my needs was/is a big hit with me so far.
My apprehension is if it is wise to create a 3000 plus image catalog over one week in LR4 Beta, betting that the catalogs will migrate to LR 4 1.0 when the Beta is over. And if there are bugs I have not encountered that would slow me down so much that the reduced work in tweaking RAWs in LR4 versus LR3 would not be worth it? (note- I have been doing redudant saves of the RAW files with my smaller projects but potentially losing as big a catalog as this project takes would be a pain even ifI had redudant original RAW. This is BTW work I am doing that while not "professionally" it is for my employer."
I am seeking opinions here because I am really on the fence. Be gentle those of you who are far more experienced in these matters than I am.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Cheers
Katz

But, I'd give it a go, knowing the concequences.
I put small shoots through, my racehorses in training and some more basic shoots, I've run a couple of magazine shoots through LR4.
Rob Cole and others have commented that there may be issues getting whites to white for deep etching, so a product shoot against a white background may be an issue.
I have a complex workflow for my mainstream clients, so that still goes through LR3. To stack, set white balances and export to TIFF, to enblend bracketted images and import the resultant TIFFS back to LR3, make the web gallery courtesy of theturninggate and then present that to my clients
Their chosen images then have the meta data written to them, and are exported as a catalog to a separate hard drive - to maintain the same folder structure so I can import them back into the catalog when LR4 final has imported my LR3 catalog. and these exported TIFFS are imported into LR4 and the meta data added, and all the edits done here.
As a professional I want to go back to the backup RAW images, but I do have frequent catalog backups, and I'm loving the LR4 improvements. I can get results far faster with the beta than with LR4, I am using the library, map, develop and web, I've never used the slideshow, I dont make books, and I've still not unpacked my fabulous Canon printer since I arrived in Cape Town 4 years ago.
However as most of the reviews of LR4 have indicated, there are very few changes to web and the library does not seem to do much more than it used to.
Yes I get crashes several times a day, but not once has LR4 told me it was having to "repair" the catalog, it just opens and I have to find the last catalog I was working on. The time taken for LR4 to apologise and contact Adobe is so little, that the time I save in editing 10 photos more than covers that crash 3 times.
However, I do back up my catalog several times a day.
Victoria, Hal, etc are correct, not a chance is the sensible option, as its a beta and with a new pipeline, process and prowess, and with bugs to iron out, and the beta catalog could crash and corrupt and you'd need to open a backup catalog, or it could even break the sidecars, or the metadata in the DNG files.
Re Hals comment that LR final may not read all the beta catalogs data correctly, that is an issue. But i've tweaked many images from LR3.x to LR4 already and 99% of my images go to clients and then can be thrown after they've received the final images. (Why should I store their photos? Its up to them to backup, I simply cant offer a storage service)
As for personal images, how many people go back to images 6 months to years later and fiddle a little? I do, so a tweak to make it LR4 final from LR4 beta is not an issue.
JUST SAY NO FOLKS, it may be nice, but its dangerous.

Project Plan for EAM analytics implementation.

Hi Experts,
My Boss has asked me to provide him the project plan for this EAM analytics implementation, showing how long will it take for the dashboards to be up with the correct data.
Reason why he is asking this is because initial configuration has been done in BI Apps but prima facie looks like the DATA on dashboards is not correct.
Now he is worried as to how long will it take... and even i am not sure on this as I am new to this..( i m the only one configuring EAM Dashboards - ie only one resource )
Any experiences or helpful advise for this kind of scenario that i can tell my boss or what should be my action plan.
Thanks
Ashish
