Solman configration for system landscape having virtual buffers

Hi All,
We are having a system landscape with virtual buffers in the TMS.TMS transport path look like this
*Dev -> Virtual Buffer -> Quality -> Virtual Buffer -> Production*
We need to configure ChaRM for this landscape. We are able to get virtual system details in Solman and created the project. But ChaRM is failing while we try to import the transport requests to Quality.
Can you please guide us to configure solman for this landscape.
Thanks in Advance,
Shaju

hi,
if the goal is to have a better control of what is going to QA
the move to the QA happens anyway in 2 steps
you might want to control the release in your development (via solman). In this case just control the action "test transport"
you might want to control the import in QA. In this cas you manually import in QA
I don't see the added value to have an extra virtual system
SOLMAn will support your process with real system. You can send to a virtual system why not (we are using this technique for other reason), but it is a dead end
TMS won't support your landscape scheme because the move of a transport to the next system is related to the import from the previous system. If it is a virtual buffer you won't have the possibility to import it virtually.
Unless a Guru knows a magic trick I am convinced a virtual path won't work in our case.
I hope my explanations were enough to explain the constrains we have
best regards

System Landscape security

Hi,
We have a system landscape having systems based on Java stack(EP,BI Java), Java+ABAP(XI,SRM) stack and ABAP(ECC) stack.
We have Windows Active Directory as the LDAP server.
We need to implement a security concept for the entire landscape.
Requirement is to use single sign-on and LDAP. We also want to use Windows integrated authentication.
Could someone please answer the following questions:
1.Recommended data source for users and role assignments?(LDAP,ABAP,UME).
2.Can/Should CUA be used to manage the users of Java stacks?
4. Any other recommendation / learnings?
Basically, I need to know an optimal/tested solution for implementing security in such a complex landscape.
Thanks.

Rohit,
If you go to https://websmp207.sap-ag.de/security and navigate to 'Security in Detail' on detailed navigation, you will find relevant information.
There is also a security guide on /NW2004s. Related documents you can find at

Hi Vimal
customer specific system landscapes for an application as large as SAP ERP depend on many factors. It is thus not possible to give you "the" SAP ERP - Human Capital Management System landscape, without knowing which functions this HCM Landscape should support, where, in which languages.... (i.e. for some processes a pure SAP ECC System is sufficient, for others, you need a portal and Process integration as well)
For this reasons, the already mentioned SAP ERP 6.0 Master Guide takes a planning-support-approach. It discusses four different "typical" reference system landscapes (Minimal System Landscape,..... Individual/ Distributed Landscape), and extends them to different possible example landscapes, to show you how to plan your own landscape.
The example system landscape for HCM shown there assumes, that you intend to install the complete scope, and that you need firewalls, because this HCM landscape should support external recruiting scenarios as well.
Closeley related to the planning process for system landscapes is the process component list (service.sap.com/scl), where you find information about which SAP ERP process needs which software component, and is available in which countries/ languages.

SolMan ChaRM - System landscape not ready yet

Hi all,
We are configuring ChaRM for an implementation use, therefore all the systems are not set up yet.
Is it possible in SolMan to define logical component without "real" systems ?
We saw that in STMS it was possible to create virtual systems, but how do we link these virtual systems to SolMan ChaRM ?
Is it possible to define a virtual system landscape and to build and configure ChaRM scenario with this ?
Thanks a lot for all your help,
Regards.

Yes, it is possible to define a development system and virtual systems (Q- and P-System).
Via transaction SMSY you can describe the planned Q- and P-System at first as 'virtual'.
Create transport routes with transport buffers as you would do for existing systems.
Define the buffers as they should be named in future.
For experimental purposes we connected our IDES-System to our development SolMan system.
In this environment we could map such a ChaRM-configuration.
In the meantime we practiced it in our production SolMan system, too.
Best regards
Horst

Configuration in Solman and Satellite system for Support message creation ?

Hi ,
I want to send a support message to solman from the ( help menu -> create support message )
of my satellite system.
any one tell me the settings that i have to make in both the sattelite system and the solman for sending a support message.

Hi,
the necessary steps are described in Solution Manager IMG documentation.
Also you can find that information in the web blogs in this forum.
In a nutshell:
- activate Service Desk in Solution Manager (incl. BC-Sets)
- maintain System Landscape, RFCs and iBase
- create key users (business partners)
- maintain number ranges
- assign roles
- maintain table BCOS_CUST in satellite system
You should just follow the corresponding customizing steps in tx: SPRO.

Quick question on BOE deployment for SAP BW with 3 system landscape

Client has SAP BW environment with 3 system landscape: Dev, QA, Production
Should BOE be installed seperately on 3 different machines for each of them?
Or is there any best practice for this?
Thanks,
Henry

Hello Henry,
yes - i would recommend this Setup. Technically there is no need for it but on an organisational/development/deployment level it makes more sence.
I often saw it at customers that Dev and Q&A is on virtual machines and Prod is on a physically machines. Saves some Hardware costs.

Virtual systems within Transport system landscape

Hi!
I should map the existing transport management system landscape into ChaRM approach within SOLMAN.
The existing transport management system landscape has a lot of virtual systems with virtual transport routes.
Can some one of you explain the usage of such virtual systems with their virtual transport routes?
Thank you very much!

ChaRM for a 5 system landscape

Hi all,
we got a requirement to implement charm for 5 system landscape. but the problem is
currently the scenario followed for the rollout is
1. AA(DEV-proj)--> BB(QUA - proj)
Then the TR is forwarded from BB system to the maintenance landscape
DEV>QUA> PROD
they don't want to implement retrofit functionality.
is there any way we can mapp this scenario to charm.
kindly advice in this regard.
Thanks,
Subhashini.

Hi Ragu,
Thanks for the reply.
currently a two systems are separated from the maintenance landscape.
they are forwarding the TRs to the development system.
is there any way we create 2 tracks.
1. AA-BB-DEV-QUA-PROD
2. DEV-QUA- PROD
again i not having a clear idea on how to differentiate the tracks as both leads to the same production system.
or is there any way develop a custom method for forwarding this TR to the DEV system.
kindly sugggest on how to go about.
Thanks ,
Subhashini.

Solman features for a small landscape

Hi All,
We have a standard 3 system landscape with 3 systems(D,Q and P).
We also have a solution manager in our landscape.
I'm eager to know the features of the solution manager that can be exploited for such a small landscape.
regards,
Prasanna

Hello Prassana,
We can start with first configuring CCMS and EWA.
Please implement/apply latest ST-PI and ST-API patches in your Dev system.
after applying the patches please execute RTCCTOOL program in Se38 t code.
This program helps in service preperation so that data from your satellite system(Dev) can be sent to
solution manager system.
once you are done with that we can configure Dev system in solution manager system and activate SDCCN.
SDCCN will help in collecting data from dev to Solman.

Feedback thread for "How To Design a SAP NetWeaver - Based System Landscape

I have just published a RIG How To Guide called [How To Design a SAP NetWeaver - Based System Landscape|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/50a9952d-15cc-2a10-84a9-fd9184f35366]. You can read my [blog |http://www.sdn.sap.com/?blog=/cs/weblog/view/wlg/8877]on it. This thread is collect feedback and discussion on the Guide.

Hi Matt!
This is definitely interesting reading and a lot of projects I've been in could have benefitted from it had it been carefully read beforehand by some of the involved parties.
What I like especially is the fact that this is not only for technical consultants (who should know about most of these things anyway) but for the people closer to the business who need to find agreements with the technical guys.
Good job...
Jörg
Some comments to what I read:
I noticed that you use the term 'server virtualization' (section 3.3.1) quite generally. Maybe it would be worth introducing the term 'server consolidation' (which you use later in the document) already in this early chapter. My experience shows that (especially recently) a lot of customers are interested in 'virtual servers' (meaning a virtual server with an OS installed separately), not really knowing what they're talking about and often better advised to use 'server consolidation' (one OS, many SIDs). These two concepts are similar in terms of sharing hardware resources, but quite different in terms of the implications toward administration.
In section 4.2.1.3 you mention (in brackets) the Usage type to which the client belongs for the Business Explorer and the J2SE Adapter Engine if I understood that correctly. There is no UT mentioned for the other clients and there is no explanation on what the bits in brackets are supposed to mean. (I first expected the 'BeX' abbreviation when I saw something in brackets...)

SOLMAN 4.0 SR2 connect to SAP R/3 Three System landscape (DEV QA and PRD)

Hi,
We have successfully installed SOLMAN 4.0 SR2 (ABAP + JAVA) on
WIN2003 SP2 EE MSSQL 2005 EE SP1.
I just want to activate the service so that SOLMAN could see my existing SAP R/3 4.6 C Three system landscape (DEV QAS PRD).
I heard settings should be done on SPRO IMG configs. Could anyone tell me the exact procedure to navigate on it. I see a lot of buttons to config and execute, Just want to make sure everything will be in order.
My SLD is directly installed locally on my SOLMAN server.
Thanks,
Simoun

Hello Simoun,
Telling from your last sentence I assume that you would like to connect SolMan (transaction SMSY) to your locally installed SLD or in other words: replicate SLD system data into SOLMAN system landscape SMSY.
Please check this document:
http://service.sap.com/~form/sapnet?_SHORTKEY=01100035870000538663&_SCENARIO=01100035870000000202&_OBJECT=011000358700000530282007E
Here you find information covering prerequisites, required SAP Solution Manager IMG configuration to connect SLD and SMSY and frequently ask questions (FAQ-like).
I hope this helps you to get started.

Doreen

Transport target for business system not found in System Landscape Director

Folks,
We have new installed new PI 7.1 system and importing interfaces from the OLD XI 3.0 system in to new PID 7.1 system.
We are getting following error when we try to import an interfaces in to new PID system:
Import failed because of business system transfer object
Communication component XID_FileSystem: Obligatory
transport target for business system XID_FileSystem not found in
System Landscape Directory
We are yet to install PIQ system.
All the interfaces in the old XID system have transport target of XIQ system. I removed the transport taget for the interface, but transport target is still showing in the Business system under transport target head.
How can we overcome this issue as we will not have PIQ system atleast for two weeks.
Thanks in advance,
Regards
Chandu

Hi,
You need to maintain Transport Groups and target for business systems while SLD transports between your XI system and PI 7.1
Illustrated with DEv & PRD here.
Procedure:
1) Call Integration Builder screen on DEV Server with http://hostname:J2ee Port/rep
2) Call SLD (System Landscape Directory) Component from the Integration builder
Save all the Following .zip files on the Local Desktop
3) Select the Software Component & say Export that you want to Export from DEV
Server to Production server and which is going to use in the IR of XI
4) Also Select the Product of the above SWC and say Export
5) Select the Technical Systems (TS of XI & TS of the SAP R/3) and say Export
6) Select the Business System(s) & say Export; those are associated with above Exported
Technical systems.
In Production Server
1) Logon to the SLD of the Production Server.
2) Create a Technical System and Business system which points to the Production SAP R/3
3) Go to Administration TAB in the main page of SLD
4) Select the Import option to Import the SWC , PRD, TS,& BS which we Exported Earlier in DEV Server
5) Click on Browse and select the .zip files that is to Import into Production Server,
Which were stored on the local desktop at the time of DEV Server Export
And say Import Selected File Option
By this we exported and imported the SLD Objects
Now we have to create transport groups and transport targets in the Production server of SLD
Creation of Transport Groups
Edit GroupsGroup1) Select the Business systems
2) Click on New Group and give the name of the group as DEV_group & select the
Corresponding Development serveru2019s integration Server
3) Similar way create another group for Production serveru2019s business system as
PRD_group and select the Production serveru2019s integration Server
Creation of transport targets
This is to Define which business systems in two different groups correspond to each other
1) Select each Business system in the SLD and select transport TAB---click on
Add/Change Target and select its corresponding target business system.
For Example:
If you select the business system of Production XI server means
In the target you have to select group as DEVGROUP and the business system of Development XI server.
Like this do the same for other business systems also
Ex:
BS_PRD_Integration Server----
BS_DEV_Inetration Server

Setting Up the System Landscape for ESS

Hello Experts,
I am implementing ESS in portal.
I am in step of defining systems in portal for ESS/MSS.
Below is link I am following from help.sap.com
[Link|http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/en/5b/76a6d7fd3a4e91bfb422405bf3e04d/frameset.htm]
In above link it is mentioned that we have to define following systems :
SAP_WebDynpro_XSS
SAP_ECC_HumanResources
SAP_ECC_Travel
SAP_ITS_XSS
SAP_BSP_EREC
Additionaly according to below Article in SDN :
[Link|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/21eb036a-0a01-0010-25a3-b2224432640a?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true]
Following additional systems must be created :
SAP_ITS_EBU Looks similar to SAP_ITS_XSS above
SAP_R3_Financials
Now the basis person in my project has handed over to me following systems :
SAP_BSP_EREC
SAP_ITS_FND Name mismatch as FND is used in place of XSS or EBU
SAP_R3_Financials
SAP_WebDynpro_ESS Name mismatch as ESS is used in place of XSS
Now below two systems are altogether missing as per first link on help.sap.com
SAP_ECC_HumanResources
SAP_ECC_Travel
Please explain if it requires to be corrected or name mismatch and missing ststems would do.
Thanking you in anticipation.

All the above names that you are referring to are not necessarily separate systems.
These are system aliases for a system object created in your portal via System Administration - System landscape.
So, if you have HR and Finance on the same backend server, then you need only one system with the related system aliases.
You will need SAP_BSP_EREC only if you are planning on using E-recruitment.
Similarly, you will need SAP_ITS_XSS only if you are planning on using any ITS applications.
It is pretty straight forward to change/correct the names of your system aliases instead of changing the usage of these aliases every where else.
SAP_ECC_HumanResources is absolutely necessary.
SAP_ECC_Travel is required if you are planning on using travel and expense related applications.
Also, note that SAP_WebDynpro_XSS should be the alias of the system where your webdynpro applications are deployed (typically the same portal server)

I've fixed the problem - I think.
I forgot I had the program "Little Snitch" installed on my computer. So I went into it and saw that it was blocking most of my connections for all the programs I use on a daily basis. Once I lifted the RULE to those certain programs - BAM - everything came back to life in an instant!
