Software Change Management - usage in SAP
Hi,
Please anybody can -
Are we using version control tools like ration rose, SCM Software configuration Management in SAP?
Thanks in advance
SwamyHi,
Version Management is there in SAP also. SAP maintains Change history for most of its transactions.
*Version Management *
Use
Version management in the Integration Repository permits versioning as follows:
· The Integration Builder manages multiple versions of a software component in an Integration Repository. In this way, different product versions can communicate with each other. Each design object is created in the context of a software component version that represents a unit of a product that can be shipped.
· Objects can also have new object versions when changes are made within a software component version. You also have the option of releasing changes to multiple objects simultaneously.
Versioning in the Integration Repository ensures that objects are shipped consistently, and as part of a product.
However, there are no software component versions in the Integration Directory, because the configuration content is not shipped. Nevertheless, you can also release changes to the configuration for the entire runtime environment here. When you release the objects, the Integration Server updates the directory runtime cache.
Integration
You can also export objects of an Integration Repository or an Integration Directory to import them into another repository or directory (for example, during system relocation). In doing so, versioning of the corresponding software component version is taken into account.
Features
Change Lists
The Integration Builder supports object versioning for both the repository and for the directory using the user-specific change lists. When an object is saved for the first time, a new object version is created, which is added to the change list. When an object in the change list is activated, the object version is closed and is made visible for other users.
Products and Software Component Versions
A product can have multiple versions. Each product version is a shipment unit visible for customers. The software component versions used in a product version can be called in the System Landscape Directory.
In the context of SAP Exchange Infrastructure, the products and software component versions that are of interest are those that are to exchange messages with each other. When development starts they must be imported from the System Landscape Directory into the Integration Builder.
Release Transfer
In the transition from one software component version to a new software component version, you can either transfer all, or just some of the design objects from the previous version. This release transfer also enables you to transfer objects to older software component versions.

Software configuration management
Dear Gurus,
One of our customer wants to map Software code management into SAP or atleast link(interface) the configuration management tool with SAP. Have any of you worked in similar situation. Please throw some light on this area. Does SAP PLM have any relevant feature suitable for this?
Thanks & Regards
Prasad KHello Jirong,
I did a lot in the configuration management area related to EBS, in terms of concepts and practical implementations.
I would suggest that you take a look at the following material and afterwards, please contact me to clarify any question you might have.
https://blogs.oracle.com/ebs_customization_management/
In terms of technical solutions, I have worked a lot with Oracle AMS (ACMP), different consulting solutions, but also with non-commercial tools. So we will find a solution also together with RTC/IBM.
You can find me in linkedin.

Anything in SAP that suits software configuration Management profile..
Hi guys.....i am working as Software Configuration management engineer i want to know if there is anything in SAP (plz remenber my knowledge in SAP is zero!!!!!) that can add value to my domain.
Thank you very much for your answers!
@Pushkar:
No this is not exactly what I meant;
What we want to do is a kind of classical configuration management or at least version control of
development objects like ABAP programs, table definitions, table data etc. that are contained within our SAP development system.
It's not about version management of external documents imported into SAP.
I know that there is a kind of version control via Transports, but this does not cover all classical version control mechanisms; what we are missing there is
- the possibility of reverting to an older version of an 'object'
- Branching / Merging mechanisms
- the possibility to choose which changes I want to release with which transform and which objects
- view differences between arbitrary versions of an object
I was hoping there is maybe a kind of 'add-on' or maybe even a built-in tool that provides classical version control mechanisms or something similar.
Thank you for further help,

Hello All
With the given need from the market to manage license compliance proactively - the givven toolsets from MS SCCM 2012 should be capable of handling the given complexity. (reference 27 processes out of SAM ISO 19.770-1:2012
Where can I find the solution accelerator, which guides us to help clients on two tipical use-cases
a.) Client has SCCM 2012 - however not yet established the SAM componentes to it (Contracts, Use-rights and License-Comparizons)
b.) Client has no SCCM yet and wants to start his journey with the Commercial scope right away.
Any guidance highly appreciatedSCCM alone isn't going to fit this need.
You need a License Compliance Solution / Software Asset Management (SAM) solution which SCCM is not.
The issue with those system, they fail of providing clean /usefull data.
Usually the best approach is to collect the data with SCCM, normalize the data for that I used BDNA Normalize, then pull in the SAM.
Like this:
SCCM 2012 - Normalize - SAM

SAP B1 License Manager not starting automatcially
Dear All
SAP Version : SAP 9.0 PL12
Issue :
1)SAP B1 License manager is not starting automatically even when the status is automatic in the Services.msc
2)Also when logged from the client system its asks for the IP address/server name every time.
3)Some times it connects with the Server name and sometimes with the IP address.
And at cases it doesn't even connect at all throwing the error message "Connection to the license server failed" .
and then when we replace the config files of SAP B1 to DI API it works fine at cases.
This issue occurs on a random basis and at almost in all the systems(System connected in the morning is facing issue at afternoon).
And it becomes an activity on a daily basis.
So kindly let us know the exact cause for this issue and also a permanent solution for the same.
Note : Firewall setting is turned off.
Regards
ShyamHi Shyam..
Have you Installed the License manager with the Admin Rights
SAP Business One doesn't start and License Server Selection screen comes up
SAP Business One generates this error message when logging on: "Connection with license server failed"
On License Server Selection this error occurs: "Connection to license server failed; if license server address is invalid, correct it; if TAO NT Naming Service stopped, activate it and restart License Manager"
On startup, the TAO NT Naming Service returns this warning: "The TAO NT Naming Service on local Computer started and then stopped...";
TAO NT Naming Service is not running. To access this service, right-click the My Computer icon and choose Manage -> Services
Connecting to License Server brings warning: "Failed to connect to License Server"
On startup, the SAP Business One License Manager returns this warning: "The SAP Business One License Manager on local Computer started and then stopped..."
RSP: Logging on to Remote Support Platform (RSP) brings this Error: "Agent service unavailable", RSP Agent Console cannot be accessed. Nevertheless SAP Business One RSP Agent Service is running and restarts successfully
check with the links
TAO NT Naming Service Stop
Check in Service Manager TAO_NT_Naming_Service does it has dependency with SAP B 1 License Manager.
Check the above in the services... does it has got dependency
check does it has set to restart on first failure and second failure in the TAO NT properties Recovery..

How to management of software license compliance in SCCM 2012
Hi,
Anyone using SCCM 2012 to manage software licenses? If so then I would like to find out more about it and would appreciate if you could share your experience and current setup.
thanks
IhunzaiI was thinking to use the metering usage data on the products that are reporting over in licenses via AI inventory and push an un-installer package to the ones who have not used products in more then x months to bring the numbers down in AI.
Before, I do anything I wanted to understand how to go about with AI and importing software licenses. I would appreciate if anyone has enabled AI and imported software license file to get some numbers.

License Managing and Software Audit
Hi, I have been tasked with managing the license for a software audit. I'm currently using spice works license manager to manage all the software but i have no idea of what's need to be done to pass an audit.
Spice work lists all the software on the network, I was wondering if i need to track all the non-commercial software like "Windows Media Player" and "Itunes" or just the commercial ones like "Microsoft Package" which requires a license.
Thank you

Where to download the License Manager
Hi all,
I have seen someone mention that the License Manager can be downloaded as a standalone application in order to update the License Key for the SAP Integration Kit.
But I don't know where to find this "stand-alone" License Manager.
Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks.
Best regards,
Martin SøgaardHi Ingo
According to SAP Support, the License Manager is no longer shipped with Business Objects Enterprise from version XI 3.0. Now it is only shipped with Crystal Reports.
If you don't have access to the License Manager, you can 1) open the registry editor 2) go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Business Objects\Suite 12.0\SAP\Keycode and modify the
key in format: key:YYYYMMDD;
Best regards,

Software Configuration Management for ABAP Development ?
Hi,
we are a software company selling a Data Capture Solution.
For this, we are currently in the process to develop an interface for transferring the extracted data into a customer's SAP R/3 system.
Since we want to develop this interface following certain software engineering principles, we are looking for a way to solve certain simple common Software Configuration Management issues, such as:
- Object Versioning (Similar to file versioning in classic software development): That means being able to:
-- Keep track WHO changed WHAT WHEN and WHY?
-- Revert to a former version of an object (e.g. when the fix of a former defect must be revoked for some reason)
-- Keep track which changes have been made for a certain Change Request (NOT meaning SAP Change Requests, but Change Request for our interface development)
- Label a certain version state as 'released' or 'tested' or whatever
- Perform a kind of 'Branching' (Classical Software Configuration Management task), e.g. when we release a version of our interface and start the development of a new version, we must open a 'Maintenance Branch' of our released version parallel to the ongoing development of the future release.
When I say 'Objects', I mean everything being concerned when developing something within R/3; that can be ABAP programs, forms, tables (structure and content(!)), etc.
We are using an SAP System version ECC 5.0 for development; as for now, we have come to the conclusion to use the versioning that comes with the Transforms, although they do not really cover the above requirements as we would like to.
Is there anybody out there who had the same idea and solved it somehow?
My impression is that in the SAP world, classical Software Configuration Management is not a part of the way of thinking; and that development for SAP R/3 has little in common with classical software development.
But maybe there is an add-on or some hidden features of NetWeaver or anything that can solve these issues.
Hope is the last to die...
Thank you very much for any feedback,
Regards,
JörgThank you very much for your answers!

AaratiHi,
It seems that your new license's installation number is not yet signed in the EULA and available in the license manager service in the B1 service manager. Check if the new license isntallation no. is available there. You can know the installation number in the license file i.e. INSTNO.
if not available, importing the new license file again and make sure that it is not temporary license before importing.
