  • Change Management in Solution manager 4.0

    Hi,
    I am trying to configure the change Management in Solution manager 4.0. I have created the project assigned the logical components,but when i go to /n/tmwflow/cmsconf its blank(no nodes to select).what could be the reason?
    Regards,
    Cherry

    Hi Cherry,
    what about your TMS configuration. Did you switched to extended transport control and modified your transport landscape to transport groups?
    Please check your project with: /n/tmwflow/charmchk.  The result could be helpful for error analysis concerning wrong tms configuration.
    kind regards

  • Project Management using Solution Manager

    Hi,
    We are trying to use solution Manager for managing our IT projects - specifically for SAP projects.
    We browsed through the existing functionalities that are available and are not able to get info on the following:
    ___Project Admin tab for Roadmaps :_ __ In the transaction RMMAIN, we are able to define the scope of the activities at each phase and assign team members and track the status of the activity / task.
    However we do not have the tab for tracking the planned start date / end date and the actual start / end dates. Similar is the case for efforts.
    So not sure how to track these?
    Integration of Roadmaps and Blueprints : Once we have defined the project and assigned the Roadmap, we have all the activities that need to be tracked. In addition in transaction SOLAR01 / SOLAR02, we can define the scope and configurations which in itself are a kind of sub projects to be embedded withing the Blueprint and realization phases respectively of the main Projetc Plan.
    How to link these Blueprint specific plan and the realization related plan to the main project plan created out of the Roadmap chosen and to track them as one single project?
    Synchronization wih ms project : I see only the option to download the plan as an mpp file. But is there any option to upload mpp as well so that the project can be tracked using mpp and synchronized with Solution manager at frequent intervals?
    Your answers would definitely be helping us a lot and would be greatly appreciated.
    thanks in advance.
    regards,
    suresh velan

    Hi Suresh,
    Solution Manager is a Project Management tool. But it is not for Project Planning. If you want to do Project Planning also from the SolMan system, then you have to enable cProjects component of SolMan.
    Synchronization between your MS Project and cProjects is possible. But synchronization between SolMan's RoadMap/Blueprint and MS Project is not possible.
    In RoadMap, you can capture and track the status of all phase-wise activities as to what is their status. Here capturing date details is not possible.
    In Blueprint/Configuration you can capture and keep track of the individual object's blueprinting and configuration activities. Here you can capture the planned/actual start/end dates for each object.
    As I said earlier, Solution Manager provides lot of Project Management features, but Project Planning is not possible. For that we have to start using cProjects component in SolMan.
    Hope it helps.

  • How to access introscope enetrprise manager in solution manager

    Hello All,
    I have installed Introscope enterprise manager on Solution manager system  in windows successfully
    Now when I am executing  introscope enetrprise manager,just a command prompt opens and nothing happens.
    Any ideas?
    Also How can I access introscope enetrprise manager?are there any different ways to do it?
    Rohit

    Hi Rohit,
    If your Enterprise Manager is setup and running. You can access it via wily webview or Workstation.
    These are the standard GUIs avaialble for accessing data in EM.
    1) Webview is a webbased tool, and you can access it through browser - http://<hostname>:8081/webview
    2) Workstation- you have to install this in your PC and connect it to EM, Its more powerful tool than webview and you need to hava pre-requisite java version installed.
    but, by which mehtod you are trying to open EM??.. EM contains only logs.
    When you say setup is complete, is the EM's services running?..
    Also, while performing the Basic Configuration- You have to map the EM data to solution manager and perform the Diagnostics setup step. Then you can launch the webview from workcenter -Root cause Analysis.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks,
    Jagan

  • Transport Management in SOlution Manager

    Hello All,
    We are currently running a Conf. Room Pilot for our customer. As part of the CRP, the customer has created a new template project in Solman and have also a created a new sandbox as a copy of their production for the CRP where we have got full access.
    The customer wants us to use SAP transport management functionality in Solman where all transports & changes made in the sandbox can be tracked and they can be moved to their production if required using solution manager.
    Now customer doesnot want to configure ChaRM.
    Two possiblities I see are
    1. Create an IMG project in Sandbox system through Solution Manager and in the Sandbox systems' project activate CTS functionality. Give TR Create authorization to team members with restriction of assignment to CTS project only. (Dis-allow TR creation w/o CTS project assignment in Sandbox)
    2. Activate Change Request Management (ChaRM ) in the template project with only CTS functionality (No other functionality of ChaRM is useful here). At the moment I am not sure if this will be allowed.
    please let me know, how do I restrict creation of TR without assigning to CTS?
    Regards,
    Shyam

    Any answer to this?

  • Issue management in Solution manager

    Hi,
    We are in design phase for Solution manager 4.0. The requirement is now that we want to Internally (250 Sap experts divided in functional groups) involve other support groups or employees to the support message.
    From the theories available I would say to use Issues (SLF2 or SLFI (4.0), linked to the support message (SLFN), eventual changes can be linked to this issue as well. within the issue it is possible to assign tasks to groups and(?)/or employees.
    When a change request is available, no issue is necessary to involve (assign tasks) to employees or groups?
    Another sound here is to use the "task" message in order to involve other people.
    I am wondering what would be the smartest solution and why. Please help.
    Jos

    Nadine the only pain that I see by using the Issues Management component for project issues is that people who wont normally log into Solution Manager (project managers, integration leads, org change leads, etc) will now need a SAP user ID and training on the system. Even though this is very minimal training, and its probably good for them to use the SAP interface, it isnt as quick as using Sharepoint, an E room or spreadsheets.
    But if it is project issues associated to business processes (thats how it sounds based on your other posts), this could be very useful. Again the functionality is mature enough to deploy according to your requirements, but prepared for some whining and pushback.
    Good luck

  • Solution Manager to Solution Manager connection

    Hello everyone,
    I am searching for an answer for such a question: is it possible to connect one SolMan (the one from the service provider) to another SolMan (customer's one) in a way that tickets would go from customer's ERP to their SolMan (as it is now) and afterwards would be automatically forwarded to the other SolMan where the tickets should be processed?
    If you have any idea, experience or relevant document, please share it - I will be really grateful.
    Best regards,
    Katarzyna Klys

    Hi Katarzyna,
    Please check the External service desk functionality for this. You can check SPRO entry for this:
    SPRO --> SAP Reference IMG --> SAP Solution Manager Implementation Guide
         --> SAP Solution Manager --> Scenario-Specific Settings --> Solution Manager - External Integration --> External Service Desk

    2. T-code ICTCONF   > Add an entry for the 7.1 service desk, specify the RFC Destination as the one you defined   > Activate -> Generate default value mapping (you may find the button on the top of ICTCONF).
    In Solman 7.1 system:
    1. T-code SM59   > Define an RFC connection to 7.0 system;
    2. T-code ICTCONF   > Add an entry for the 7.0 service desk, specify the RFC Destination as the one you defined   > Activate -> Generate default value mapping;
    3. Customize your own value mapping including the transaction type. You will find the details in:
        IMG -> SAP Solution Manager -> Capabilities (Optional)
        -> Application Incident Management (Service Desk)
        -> External Integration -> External Service Desk
    Most fields of SIVA and SMIV are the same (for example, priority) so you do not need to care about the value mapping if you do not havespecial requirement. However, some fields only exist in SIVA (category, subject) and others only exist in SMIV (multilevel categories). You may need to implement your own code according to your requirement.
