CRM Related Questions for Configuring Service Desk in Solution Manager

Hi All,
We have 3 requirements while configuring service desk in solution manager:
1) Is there any possibility that we can restrict view of messages in solman for different teams. E.g: Finance Support team should not view message raised for Material Management Team ?
2) Is there any possibility in service desk that we can assign message on the basis of location e.g: message raised for finance from location A should go to different support team of finance and for location B, it should go to different finance team ?
3) Is there any possibility that we can make some question necessary while user is raising very high priority message from satellite system e.g: when we raise Very high priority message on service market place, we need to answer few mandatory questions ?
I tried to search these functionality in standard scenario but I am not able to find something relevant. Please suggest.
Thanks
Sunny

End User Role for Service Desk in Solution Manager

Hey,
I am launching the Service Desk functionality for my End Users. One thing that i want to know of is the role that I should assign my user in Solution Manager to access his message. E.g.
I have a user 'A' who creates a message from any system in my landscape:Test, QA, Dev or Production. Now this message reaches in Solution Manager and is assigned to a certain Support Team according to the rules I defined. Now the personnel of Support Team needs some feedback from the end user who created the message. For that the user 'A' has to log into Solution Manager, access his message and enter the details which the Support Team requested.
I want to know that what Role should i give to this user 'A' so that he is able to access ONLY the messages that he created i.e. "Reported by" field showing user 'A'; and is able to view and edit them.
If I give him the role SAP_SUPPDESK_CREATE and SAP_SUPPDESK_DISPLAY, he is just able to see the messages, all of them, but is not authorized to edit any. Please help me out in this matter as i need a solution asap.

Bilal Nazir

Hi Nazir,

SAP Attributes of Service Desk in Solution Manager

Dear all,
We are using the Service Desk functionality of Solution Manager to create issues out of the satellite systems directly in SolMan.
When opening a SolMan msg, navigating to 'Transaction Data > SAP Attributes', you have a field called 'System Type'.
I'm trying to find out how this field is filled out. I suppose this is done by the satellite system at the moment the msg is send to SolMan.
Already did some investigation:
- in the satellite systems:
t-code: USMM - System Type
t-code: SCC4 - Client Role
- in SolMan:
t-code: IB52 - no system type attribute found in the IBase
We have one system where none of the system type is set to 'Production', but when raising an issue in SolMan system type 'Production' is choosen.
Anybody an idea where this info comes from?
Thanks a lot!
Roel

Hi Roel,
quick answer since I have been trying to find some answers about Service Desk myself.
Anyway, I would double check again the satellite system and make sure that the client you have logged on is the same like in the service desk message. Usually, the IBase number the last 3 digits will tell you, which client it was created in. There might be one client configured in SCC4 as productive client even though it is not a production server. I have that kind of situation with one customer environment. Once the sap router is up and running for this customer system, then I will see, if this actually does happen.
Otherwise, I would not have any ideas either.
Your welcome,
Markus

Service Desk in Solutiion Manager 4.0

Hello,
I have problem with configuring Service Desk in Solman 4.0.
I have applied instructions from:
/people/federico.babelis2/blog/2006/04/14/service-desk-configuration-guide-for-dummies
and also done several things described on SDN in other topics connected with solman service desk:
Defined Service Desk Destination in the Solution Manager
IBase components are installed
Business partners are created
RFC connections are defined
PROBLEM:
When I want to create message form satellite system (it's SRM) I have following error message:
"Error in local message system; message 008000000140 incomplete"
Please help me
Kind Regards,
Jarek

Hi there Jarek,
I am having now exactly the same problem; i didnt know i could find the messages in solman with DNOTIF transaction.
I could before create support messages from my satellite system, by using RFC BACK connection as log on screen, so the user was able to log on and the messages was succesfully created. Now I am trying to use this RFC connection as not log on screen, with an automatically generated user (with the RFC wizard from SMSY transaction in solman), and im getting same error as you.
I dont know if these are related, but if my explanation can help ypu, or someboday else who knows can help us please
Thanks a lot in advance

Clarification regarding Service Desk

Dear Experts,
We are currently setting up Service Desk functionality for our landscape using Solution Manager 7.0
EhP1.
Following the material available on the SMP, we are now able to create messages within the Solution
Managers(internal support desk) and also in the OSS(Primary Support).
We have a CSS system here internal to SAP to which we raise most of our messages. Please suggest if its possible to configure the service desk such that the messages are sento this CSS system instead
of the Primary support.
Basically, would there be a way to customize the "Send to SAP" action such that it connects to CSS
instead of OSS?
Any suggestion will be appreciated.
Best Regards,
Srikishan

Create New Service Session at Solution Manager = Product System missing

We have installed SAP EHP 1 for SAP Solution Manager 7.0 last year but not really use it.
We have setup in the system landscape:
Server (ecc6sbx)
Databases (MCD)
Product System (MCD) => SAP ERP
Assigned them to logical component (eg ZECC6DEV)
RFC destination for MCD was generated
SDCCN Administration at solutions manager display MCD with SDCCN status in green color.
At the satellite system MCD, SDCCN Maintenance job was created and scheduled. Initial single run was also done.
There were no issue. Connection to SDCC_OSS was fine.
Back to the SOLUTION_MANAGER transaction, we created a new solution ECC ERP - Development.
In the Solution Landscape => Solution Settings, we have assigned the Logical Component into the System Group.
However when we expand the tree, and click on the Servers folder it did not display anything.
Click on the Product Systems also did not display anything.
We have another Solution Manager which display information on those Servers and Product Systems folder for satellite system.
Going back to the Solution Manager for the Solution ECC ERP - Development, I tried to Create New Service Session for EarlyWatch Alert. When I click on the Create button, I could only see SAP EarlyWatch Alert for Solutions, there is no SAP EarlyWatch Alert for the Reference Object MCD (<installation number). I could not create a session for MCD.
Does anyone have ideas what I am missing here? I am trying to attached a document which have print screen for reference while creating this message, but there is no such function here.
Adding to link to the document file contain print screen

Anyway, in the solution manger how to we setup earlywatch alert for the SM SID host itself (source system)?
I have the information on the below from our solution manger
The data for this session is overdue. Data has not yet been transferred from the associated satellite system.
Go to the Service Data Control Center (transaction SDCCN) in the satellite system and check why the data has not been sent.
Typical sources of errors are:
The RFC connection for the SAP Solution Manager system is not working.
The 'Task Processor' background job, which collects the session data, has been changed.
Problems arose while data was being collected (see the detail log for the task that collects the session data).
A periodic 'SDCC Maintenance Package' task has not been scheduled to check whether your SAP Solution Manager system requests session data.
I tried to go SDCCN on the solution manager itself and look at the Maintenance Service Definitions:
I get the information:
No suitable RFC Destination found in SDCCN settings.
When I click ok I get the following
No RFC destionation to source system of service definitions available
Delete Service Definitions (radio button selected).
I did not continue and cancel it as I did not want to delete anything.
I check the Task Processor background job is running at SM host itself.
I managed to get the Maintenance Package job running. However it failed with the following
Error refreshing service definitions from destination SM_SSMCLNT001_BACK
Source and target system may not be identical SSM
The source and target system is the same ==> SSM, will this be an issue?

Service desk message view from ECC

Hi
I have following queries regarding service desk in solution manager.
1. Do user need to login into solution manager to see his message status or can he directly see it from ECC.
2. When a message is created through satellite system support message should display TCode in support message.
3. In service desk mail (New message/ )attachment of message is not appearing. Currently it visible in solman ticket, As per requirement attachment of message should also be mailed.
4. while creating message end user should not login to solution manager. Communication between ECC and Solman has to automatic
5. Users should have reference to earlier messages through ecc.
Thanks
Regards
Mahesh Kumar

You don't need to login to SOLMAN, he can use Workcenter for this to see messages. Please check this below link to know more about Workcenter:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_smehp1/helpdata/en/6a/4b4713fc2e45ad921a20b0831d07a5/content.htm
You can use Authorization object: CRM_TXT_ID to restrict views for the users.
Also, make sure the user has the following roles:
SAP_SUPPDESK_CREATE
SAP_SUPPCF_CREATE
SAP_SMWORK_BASIC
SAP_SMWORK_INCIDENT_MAN
you can also find security guide from below link:
http://service.sap.com/instguides -> SAP Components -> SAP Solution
Manager
In service desk mail (New message/ )attachment of message is not appearing. Currently it visible in solman ticket, As per requirement attachment of message should also be mailed.
In standard system this is not available. You can create development rrequest for this as per Note 11.
4. while creating message end user should not login to solution manager. Communication between ECC and Solman has to automatic
Check Workcenter as i already explained before.

Prblem Service Desk configuration in Solution Manager 4.0

Hi All,
Here I have done the configuration of Service Desk in Solution Manager 4.0 by using the document which I have for release 3.2. However I have face some problem in Step Initially create and Assign the Satellite Systems as iBase C and Manually create and Assign the Satellite Systems as iBase Co .So I exclude above mention step. But still I am able to create the support message from Satellite Systems.
So can please let me know whether it will work fine in upcoming time or Do I need to test my Service Desk configuration for same.
Moreover please let me know how to test Service Desk configuration for real time environment.
Following are the step and problem which I face while doing the Service desk configuration.
STEP 1 #Initially Create and Assign the Satellite Systems as iBase C
To be able to use the Service Desk and Change Request scenarios in SAP Solution Manager, you need to define the Installed Base (iBase). An iBase component has to be created for each satellite system from which Service Desk messages will be sent to the SAP Solution Manager system.
The iBase components for the iBase structure SOL_MAN_DATA_REP (installation 1) can be created and assigned either automatically or manually. Note that these components and the assignments can only be created once automatically for every solution. To refresh your existing iBase data execute IMG activity Manually Create and Assign the Satellite Systems as iBase Components.
Requirements:-
You have defined your system landscape in the Solution Manager System Landscapes(transaction SMSY).
Activities:-
1. In transaction SOLUTION_MANAGER, open a solution.
2. Choose Operations -> Service Desk.
3. Choose Edit -> Initial Data Transfer for iBase.
The data is copied automatically. The iBase systems for the solution are automatically assigned to SOL_MAN_DATA_REP (installation "1"). An iBase component is created for each system installation number (which can be displayed by choosing System -> Status).
For each solution repeat these steps.
Problem in STEP1 :- I am not able to check the System  Status.
STEP 2 #Manually Create and Assign the Satellite Systems as iBase Co
In this IMG activity, you define the Installed Base (iBase) manually, i.e. for refreshing existing iBases after solutions have been changed.
An iBase component has to be created for each satellite system from which Service Desk messages will be sent to the SAP Solution Manager system.
Activities:-
1. In transaction Change Installed Base (IB52), use the input help (F4) to find the Installed Base with external ID SOL_MAN_DATA_REP.
2. Continue as follows:
 If SOL_MAN_DATA_REP does not exist:
a) Call transaction Create Installed Base (IB51).
b) Choose iBase Category 01 (Installed Base).
c) Choose Enter.
d) Specify the iBase header data in the iBase section.
e) Specify the external ID SOL_MAN_DATA_REP and enter a short description.
 If SOL_MAN_DATA_REP exists:
a) Choose iBase No. 1 (SOL_MAN_DATA_REP).
b) Choose the SAP WEB AS component.
3. To assign the systems as iBase components, go to the Text item tab.
Three components are included in the standard package.
4. Add all the satellite systems as text items to the table:
o Column Short text: Description of the system
o Column Identification: System ID, space, installation number
5. Save.
After changes have been made to a solution, repeat these steps to update system landscape data for iBase.
Note:-
Every system is only listed once in the iBases. That means a system is not listed in an iBase if it has been listed in another iBase before.
Problem in STEP2:- Here I am not able to find Text item tab as per point 3 .
STEP 3 # Assign Business Partners to iBase Components
You need to assign business partners to the new iBase components.
Activities:-
1. In transaction Change iBase (IB52), choose Goto -> Partner
2. Assign business partners with the following functions to the new iBase component systems:
o Administrator
o Key User
o Sold-to Party
3. Save.
4. Repeat these steps for each iBase component.
Problem in step3 :- In IB52 t-code screen there no any menu path like goto  partner
Thanks a lot,
Harshal

Hi Harshall,
You have to enter the value as 1 in Installed base field and then press enter.
You will be taken inside and then you will be able to see the Goto - Partner screen.
Hope this will help.
Please reward points suitably.
Regards,
Naresh.
