Solution Directory - Configuration Tab is freezed

Hi Experts,
I can't modify or create any item in the Configuration Tab of the Solution Directory.
I am not really used to this interface, can anyone explain why this is happening and how I should resolve the issue?
Many thanks,
Aldo

Hi Bhudev,
Yes, this is transaction solman_directory. I can view the Configuartion tab but I cannot change it.
Yes, I am in Change mode.
There are some items in there already (they were not added by me). We are trying to modify these existing ones and to add new ones... but the tab (Configuration) is freezed.
I can edit documents in other tabs. For example under "Transactions" or "Development".
Any further help will be much appreciated.
Many thanks,
Aldo

Hiding tabs in Solution Directory?

Has anyone been able to hide tabs in the Solution Directory? Tab display is straightforward for projects, but I also need to control tab display in the Solution Directory.
Thanks!
Lori

Hi,
Although the solar transactions and the solution directory looks very similar, they're completely different transactions and are completely differently coded. As far as i know there is no way to manage the tabs display as you can manage in the solar_project_admin transaction for the projects.
Kind regards,

SOLUTION_MANAGER - Configuration tab not active

Hello,
in transaction SOLUTION_MANAGER 'Configuration' tab pushbuttons are not active and those are grayed out. For example 'Insert Lines' pushbutton is not active and eg. a new 'IMG Object' can't be added.
Other tabs like Transactions and Development are working normally and data can be updated there.
How 'Configuration' tab can be activated, so data could be entered there?
Thanks in advance

Hello,
here's the resolution provided by SAP AG:
Note 1375718 - Configuration Tab and Configuration Structures in Solutions
Summary
Symptom
Configuration Tab is not editable in Solutions and Configuration
Structures cannot be assigned to Solutions in Solutions Directory
Other terms
Solution Directory, Configuration
Reason and Prerequisites
Configuration is done via maintenance projects for solutions
Solution
Configuration changes need data from the project environment like "IMG project" or transport requests. Therefore, the general concept for configuration changes for solutions is to use a maintenance project that is associated to the solution in conjunction with the check-out/check-in functionality.
Configuration Tab:
Changes to objects on the Configuration Tab within a solution are not possible. Changes on the tab can be done using a maintenance project that can be assigned to the solution on the solution settings tab. In addition, the Check-out/Check-in functionality needs to be activated for the solution. If an object is to be changed, it has to be checked-out into the maintenance project where the changes can be made. Subsequently, the object is checked-in into the solution.
Configuration structures:
Configuration structures that shall be associated to a solution have to be assigned to the solution via the associated maintenance project. For this reason a "solution structure node" is available in the maintenance project under which the configuration structures for the solution can be maintained.

Solution Directory--Business process --Check in /Out option

Dear Friends,
I am working in Solution directory (t.code: DSWP). I have created one maintenance project. In this maintenance project i have maintained the following business process.
1. Sale Order Processing
2. Production Order Processing.
These two business processes are currently running in my R/3 production process.
In SOLAR01 , "admin" tab i have assigned project team member as "ZSRAGHU" for business process 'Sale Order Processing"
Like the same way, for business process "Production order Processing" i have assigned the project team member as "ZSRAO".
In SOLAR_PROJECT_ADMIN t.code, i have checked in the box "Restrict changes to nodes in project to assigned team members" so that only assigned team member can edit the business process.
Now i have assigned this maintenance project to my Solution. (The name of my Solution is "TEST")
As per the help.sap.com document, if the business process has been "checked Out" from Solution directory by the project lead, then only the team mmeber can edit the process in SOLR01.
Am i right?
But in my system, the team members are possible to edit the business process (In SOLAR01..."Structure" tab) before the business process are being "Checked Out" from Solution directory.
I want to restrict this option to my team members.
My requirement is:
If the Business process been "Checked out" in Solution, then only the team member can able to edit the business process in SOLAR01 otherwise i can not preserve my production business process....
Please guide me to achive this & will be very much rewarded.
Note:
In "SOLAR_PROJECT_ADMIN" under "Scope" tab, check in the box "Edit structures" will NOT help to map this requirement as all aware.
Regards
Senthil

Dear Senthil,
By Business Process 'Check Out', I hope you are talking of the 'Document' attached at Process level and not the Process itself, as in the structure.
I can understand your frustration about the indicator "Restrict changes to nodes in project to assigned team members" not working.
As mentioned in the online help, did you try to work your way through Authorisation Object "AI_SA_TAB" ?
Is it due to some other authorisation that users have, which 'supersedes' this authorisation object ? Did you check any SAP Note for this object ?
If nothing else works, can you try to introduce a 'Custom Status' and use the following IMG setting to restrict it by users:
SAP Solution Manager -> Configuration -> Scenario-Specific Settings -> Cross-scenario Settings -> Document Management -> Status for Documents -> Assign Status Values for Read Authorisation
This may be a workaround !

Difference in Project Types and Solution Directory

Hi -
We are in the process of deploying solution manager within our organiation. We have a made good progress in designing the end to end processes for an implementation project. I am now looking for guidance on after the project is in production how to make changes - bugs and enhancements. Should this be done directly in the solution directory or a specific project type? We are not using CHaRM. If it is a project type, when should changes be made directly within the solution directory?
Also, what are the difference in the project types - implementation, upgrade, maintenance, safeguarding, template, and upgrade. When should each be used?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Janice,
you have two options to do changes in operations:
Directly in Solution Directory. However, there are some limitation since not all tabs can be changed (e. g. configuration tab is only available in display mode).
Via a maintenance project. This functionality is available since Solution Manager 4.0 FP 1. You have to assign a maintenance project to your solution and activate the check-out/check-in functionality (in the "solution settings"). It will the be possible to check-out objects into the maintenance project and perform your changes in the maintenance project. These changes will become visible in Solution Directory as soon as you check-in the objects. This functionality is currently independent of CHaRM.
An overview of the project types is available in the Solution Manager Application help. Follow the path "Projects--> Project Administration --> Project types".
Best regards,
Michael

Solution Directory Graphic Displays as XML

We are runing Solution Manager 4.0.
If I perform the following actions...
- Run transaction SOLUTION_MANAGER.
- Select "Goto Solution Directory" (pencil icon) for a solution.
- Expand the solution structure by clicking on the solution name.
- Select the Systems sub-item or the Servers sub-item.
Instead of seeing any graphics in the Graphic tab, I see XML tags. The XML is formatted using Internet Explorer's default appearance.
Any idea what could be causing this? I downloaded and installed the latest version of Microsoft XML (MSXML 6.0), but this didn't change anything.

Hi Steve,
Can you help us how to change this default name mapping.... we too are in a similar problem...where the graphics display is in XML code.
The error shows : URL http://blrkecsolman.XXXXXX.com:8001/sap/bc/solman/defaultUser/graphic/solmangraphic.htm call was terminated because the corresponding service is not available.
Thanks for your help.

Solution Directory - How to lock a business process for a implement project

We have Solution Directory assigned to a maintenance project and I understand the checkout/checkin process and how it locks the business process in the Solution. What is the best practice when you are starting a new IMPLEMENTATION project that will impact existing business processes that are in the Solution? I know that I can copy from the solution to build the new project, but it doesnu2019t lock the BP from the solution.
I have a new Implementation project, that i want to checkout/pull existing business processes for the Solution Directory.
*How can these Business Processes be "locked" in Solution Directory as they are with a Maintenance project?*

Kelly,
You would use the maintenance project to make daily modifications.
Consider the case of a O2C business scenario. You need to almost make daily configs etc, which get pushed through, such things will go into a maintenance project.
But if you plan to enhance O2C with a CRM front end or include a better planning solution or TPM or something, then you are looking at an implementation project.
Rule of thumb. Short Scale changes : Maintenance Project, Long term/major enhancements : Implementation Projects.
Also In this case to speak about the lock down. Well the Solution Directory kind of takes care of that for you.
I am assuming that you have a solution populated with business processes. So now if you want to enhance it with a new functionality, you would use an implementation project. So when you define the implementation project, and then navigate to Solar01, and try to add business scenarios , ensure that on the Structure tab you select the Solution as the source. This ensures you are copying content from your current, updated, productive solution. Once you do that, the implementation continues on its track, whilst daily support processes are managed with the check-in / check-out functionality of the Solution and the Maintenance Project.
You technically do not need to lock the business processes down, since the Compare and Adjust functionality of a solution will help you identify the deltas between the Solution and the implementation project and you can always make those adjustments post go-live and thus just update the Solution at one shot. Also remember that with SolMan 7.1 the Compare and Adjust functions can be used with Template, Implementation and Solutions in any permutation-combination.
Hope this helps.
Plz let me know if you need any additional information
Cheers!!

Copying Certain document types only from project to Solution Directory

Hello,
We are in the process of setting up Solution Directory in Solution Manager 4.0 sp12. After creating a solution we'd like to add scenarios from multiple implementation as well as template projects based on the document type.
We have several document types that we use in various tabs (config, testcase etc) and would like to get only a subset of document types from the soruce projects.
When trying to use the copy options in the pop-up window the copy filter works only on the documentation tab and does not filter the documents in other tab's based on the copy option filter.
Is there anyway we can filter the document types upon copy from project to directory. Please let me know if there is any Badi or User-exit for this functionality as well.
Any Help is much appreciated.
Thanks
Rajesh Sundar

Hi Rajesh,
I just came across this article and I reckon it will answer your question. Please read the section Documents copied when copying a project.

Global template and rollouts vs. Solution Directory

Hello,
I would like to know what is the best way to maintain the global template and the related rollouts documentation.
I know the functionality of Solution Directory, ie. it should be the primary place to maintain a solution in production, changes should be done using maintenance project, checking out scenarios etc. However, my customer is running into a couple of challenges. The current situation is as follows:
- The global template phase I has been finished (containing financial template).
- The global template phase II development is starting (containing logistics template).
- The phase I template has been rolled out to five countries which all are in production.
- The phase I template will continue with new rollouts coming.
- All the country-specific rollouts are actually in one physical SAP system so there is only one system to be maintained.
I see it somehow impossible to try to maintain the template + rollout documentation in one single solution in Solution Directory. There is only one Documentation tab in the solution and if we put all the country-specific documentation there it is a mess. Furthermore, all the rollout projects are separate, it would be difficult to manager rollout projects with one maintenance project. Not to add the fact the compare and adjust functionality applies only to template projects not solution.
I have the feeling that we would need continue maintaining the global template and rollout projects in SolMan Implementantion projects (template + rollout projects, template versions, compare and adjustment etc.). Only if I want to start process monitoring I would use solution but otherwise it cannot be very much utilized at the moment.
Any comments? Have I missed something here now? I would appreciate any practical experiences about this.
Br,
Timo

Hi Timo -
The situation you are experiencing is similar to what I have seen. And that is...ensuring Solution Directory is the "Single source of the Truth". It is almost impossible when you have two parallel activities going on between 1) SAP implementation projects and 2) SAP maintainence/sustain activities in production.
Solution Manager seems to be a great tool for companies that are in a sustain mode, resolving issues when found in production. We recently decided to change our approach from SAP's recommended and best practice of using the Solution Directory connected to a Maintainence project and implementation projects being seperate rollout initiatives managed seperately. Instead, we have changed our "Solution Manager Landscape" to encompass all activites into a 1 template project. We now don't plan on going back to the SAP best practice of Solution Manager until we are completely done implementing SAP and we have identified what our true business processes are. For example: creating the Business Process Hierarchy.

How many Solutions entries in Solution Directory?

What is the best practice for setting up Solutions in the Solution Directory?
Should we have one for all business processes?
Should we have maybe something like the following?
1. Campaign to Cash Business Processes
2. Employee Business Processes
3. Solution Manager -- ITIL Business Processes
Are there any disadvantage to having multiple solution entries?
I searched service.sap.com and this forum for an answer before posting this question.

Bentley Systems

Hi Mel,
I will try to answer your questions:
1. New and to-be-modified business processes are developed and tested using Solution Manager Projects and are never developed or tested using Solution Manager Solutions; CORRECT!
therefore, Solution Manager Solutions only contain production business processes.
CORRECT! you can transfer the business processes in a project to a Solution to used for example "Business Process Monitoring scenario"
2. When a Solution Manager Project is completed, business processes in that Project are copied to one or more Solution Manager Solutions; consequently, the business processses become production business processes.
Correct!
3. The structure of a Solution Manager Solution is the same as a Solution Manager Project; however, some tabs in a Solution Manager Solution are not modifiable and can only be populated when a business process in a Solution Manager Project is copied to the Solution Manager Solution.
You can transfer the data from a project to a Solution, and in this case you will get the same business scenario structure that you had in SOLAR01, but you can change this structure in order to delete scenarios, or add new once.
Also you can create a clean solution and add this Business Scenarios manually comming from different projects if you like.
4.
5. The business processes defined under a Solution or Project must be linked to a Logical Component
Correct!
The business scenarios that you define in your solutions are only use for "Business Process Monitoring" scenario.
Usually other customer creates Solutions and add the logical components that ate included in the solution.
6,7, 8 Logical component definition
A logical component define the different systems, with different roles involved in a
usual DEVclient->QUA_client->PRD_client landscape for a specific version and installation type.
For example, a usual logical component would be:
Z_ECC60: DEV 100 QUA 200 PRD 300
You can also enter other system roles in this logical component
This DEV 100,etc, has previously defined in SMSY and RFC connection created to these satellites.
9. Correct! because the processe take place in logical components finally, in SAP or not SAP systems.
"Given the above statements are true, the goal would be to document all business processes in Solution Manager Solutions. It is unnecessary to create Solution Manager Solutions based on system roles e.g. one for Solution Manager Solution for Production, one Solution for QA, one for Dev or combinations of system roles e.g. Dev->QA->Production. By defining one Solution Manager Solution, the system roles are also defined for the business processes contained in the Solution Manager Solution."
The goal is to have the documentation of the business processes in the SOLMAN system.
The Solution are mainly created for Administration and monitoring activities, based on system "basis" site, so usually Solution are created for these purposes usually after the Go live of the project.
I mean, Solution are used for the technical part of the project.
Although for Service Desk and Change request management scenarios more than
technical roles must be involved.
So, do you want to generate a report with the response times for all your productive systems? if yes, you will need to define a Solution that includes all
the logical components available in your landscape, but only "Put in Solution" the production systems.
Do you want to see the alerts from only want system, instead of seeing a graphic with 10 systems, you will need to create a Solution with only this system.
Usually to have a Solution with all system is not operational, unless you have few systems.
I have to insist in the idea that the Solution is not used by "Functional" team, mainly for "Technical" team.
!"My quesiton is: Is it better to have one Solution Manager Solution for all business processes or to divide the business processes into multiple Solutions. If it is better to break up the business processes into multiple Solutions, what is the best way to break them up? Does SAP offer a best practice for this?"
Usually customer even not define the Business Scenarios in their Solution for the Operational scenarios, because these Business Scenarios are not used.
Hope this clarify your questions, best regards,
Dolores

Usage Solution Manager Solution Directory

Hi,
Does anyone knows what is the purpose or usage of Solution Manager Solution Directory?
Please and thanks
Kumar

Hi Kumar,
In the solution directory you can manage your solutions.
One of the challenges you face in production after completing a project successfully is preserving the knowledge gained from the project and keeping it up to date during operations. SAP Solution Manager's solution concept is designed to help you do this. A solution contains information about system, software components and business processes(scenarios), which you can transfer from your project to SAP Solution Manager. You thereby ensure that all of the information can still be accessed and consolidated further after the project has been completed.
You manage solutions in the Solution Directory. Solution offer the following advantages:
- All assignments in the SAP Solution Manager project are available;
- The scenario and business process structures are transferred to the solution;
- Configuration object assignments are readily available;
- You can use test cases in the structure to effectively test changes that have been made;
- You can reuse e-learning materials from projects in the solution;
- The solution has the same system landscape concept as the project, which means you can reuse the structure when upgrading.

SOLAR02 Configuration structure versus Configuration tab

SOLAR02 offers two approaches to implement configuration in solution manager project tools:
maintain configuration structure (you find this in hierarchy tree on left-handside)
OR
configuration TAB on Business Scenario, Business process and Business Process step levels
configuration TAB on master data and organizational data nodes
What is the point having so many options?
Why would I use the Configuration structure option instead of configuration TABs? Examples of using Configuration structure?
Best practises???

Thanks Michael,
I understand your point, but does projects really do that way? I mean that configuration is scattered partly in configuration structure (for common configurations) and partly within different levels of project structure and Organizational and Master data.
Has anybody choosen to consolidate all configuration in just configuration structure, where it will be easy to locate rather than finding pieces there and pieces here.
