Solution Directory----Merging two projects in Solution

Dear Team,
   I am working in Sol Man 4.0 SP 13.
we have created two projects in Sol Man & we have done our entire implementation thro Sol Man. Now the two projects are gone live.
Now we want to maintain "Solution Directory" merging these two projects.
Please guide me, what are all the primary inputs i have to collect from the customer in order to start this activity?
Note: I believe, based on the "Solution Directory" only our Business Process Monitoring works. Is it correct?
any valuable input will be very much appreciated
Thanks
Senthil

Whilst my instructions are lengthy, that is to give a full explanation of all the ins and outs. In your case the work will be little more than creating a parent and setting up your two existing projects as children.
It's a lot easier than trying to have one source project.

  • Merging two projects with Premiere elements 12.

    Hello,
    On my computer (windows 7) i have different directories with movie-fragments. From each directory i made a movieproject. It took a long time to trim everything. Now i have one project from 1,5 hours and another from 20 minutes. I would like to put the two projects together and then cut it into two projects. I was suprised that i could not do that. I could not copy the movie with titles in one project and copy it to the other project. Also i could not find any way to import one movie into the other. Very strange. I would think that this is a basic function the program should have.
    I found out that i can work of course with the Project Asset and import the moviefragments again, but then i have to trim everything again.
    I could also export one movie as for example AVI and then insert it with the Project Asset into the other project. But then i have no possibility to change the titles and transitions.
    Does anyone know a way to merge two projects?????
    Many thanks, Stephan

    I used it a lot when i worked with the program i used before Premiere Elements.
    Important: What version of Premiere Elements are you referring to in the above? Or, are you referring to another program that is not Premiere Elements?
    No version of Premiere Elements allows the user to open one project file (project.prel file) in another.
    You can copy/paste insert between two project files (project.prel) using ClipMate in conjunction with Premiere Elements. You cannot do a copy/paste insert between projects without ClipMate in use with Premiere Elements. The How To for this Windows Only feature is found
    http://www.atr935.blogspot.com/2013/05/pe-clipmate-copypaste-between-pe.html
    The alternative is to export your project 1 Timeline "trim" selectively to a file saved to the computer hard drive and then import that export into project 2.
    In this workflow considerations need to include project 1 export format consistent with project 2 import settings.
    So, we need details to explain the why not for

    In the first part, what were your export settings from project 1 and your project preset for project 2.
    In the second part, did you use ClipMate with Premiere Elements or something else?
    What you want to do sounds very doable so we need to discover the whys to get to the solution.

  • Possibility of Merging two Projects

    Hi,
    I have come across a situation where the users have entered two projects in system for one. They entered planning data for one of them only and both projects are in execution already. There are actual costs posted.
    For some time, it remained un-noticed and now I am looking for a way to clear up this mess.
    Is there any way that I can "merge" these projects or get the things "in line" after this?

    All solutions seemed to be working fine, its just that I faced a problem with different fiscal years. The client has already closed 2009 financially and revenues have been locked. One of the two projects was initiated in 2009, any changes in material costs would also require MM periods to be open for past postings.
    The business realizes the financial impacts this activity may have and decided to leave the projects in their state, considering them as two seperate projects.
    Thank you all for your responses.

  • Regarding merging two projects:

    we are doing the project using creator . i had desiged 10 pages of that project as one web application in creator and my collegue had done some pages as sepatare web application in creator. could you please tell me the way to merge these two web application as a single web application in creator.

    The hardest part is probably dealing with the fact that the two different project names have shown up in all kinds of places in the code (as package names).
    So, rename one of the projects to the name of the other. Now merging should be much simpler -- simply copy the jsps, the java files, and merge the navigation.xml and managed-beans.xml files, and you should be set (provided you don't have the same page names in both, e.g. Page1.jsp -- then you'll need to pick one, or rename one. Note that a page rename involves fixing all value binding references in other files too, as well as the managed-beans.xml entry for that page.)
    To find out how to rename a project, take a look a tthis blog entry:

  • Merging two projects in RH 10

    I have recently started using RH 10 (was on 7 for a long time).  I had a request that users wanted to combine two robohelp files into one.  (We have a Front Counter Manual and a Systems Manual.  They would like to combine them into one project).
    Is there an easy way to do this without messing each of these projects up?
    Thank you,

  • Merging two projects

    I am working an a iMovie project.  I made a trailer to that project and now want to copy the trailer into the first project.  I try to copy and past but it won't let me me copy it.  I have copy the clips but the added music and titles won't copy.  Any ideas? 
    I tried to export it to iTunes or Quick time but when I import it back into the first project it shows up blury and grainy.  While the original trailer is crystal clear and no problems.  I played the Trailer in iTunes and it is Crystal clear and no problems. It is only when I import it back into iMovie. 
    Please help with any ideas?

    You may wanna to try these:
    1. Select project A, select all Masters and versions
    2. Drag all into project B.
    That's how i merge both into one project together with all it's versions and Masters.

  • Can you merger two projects together in

    I am creating a slide show for my wedding and have three projects. can i merge all three into one?

    What's a Project?
    Do you mean a book? They're based on Photos in your Library already, so, just make an album from those photos?
    Do you mean Events? To merge them just drag one to the other.
    Do you mean Library? If so, you'll need the pid version ($20) of iPhoto Library Manager

  • 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 !

  • Compare and adjust functionality for Solution Directory

    Hello all,
    I am trying to use the Compare and Adjust function with a Solution Directory. There is a previous discussion about how to do this between a Master Template and Implementation Project. Now that the Solution Directory exists, I would like to do the same thing. I.e. take scenarios from the Solution Directory into individual projects to extend them before putting them back into production. Together with the check in/out function, I would like to use the Compare and Adjust (SA_PROJECT_UPGRADE) function to identify differences periodically. The button for this appears in the transaction SOLMAN_DIRECTORY, but I can't seem to activate it - i.e. it is faded out. For projects, you must first run SA_PROJECT_UPGRADE to activate this button. However, you cannot select a Solution when running the project upgrade transaction. Does anyone know how to do this? Is anyone using the Solution Directory in a similar way and have advice?
    Regards,
    Marcel

    Hi Marcel,
    Funnily enough I have the exact same question.
    Is there a way to compare changes between a maintenance project (business scenarios checked out this project) and the solution. This way the person approving the check in can see the changes before approving.
    Have you had further information on this?
    Referring back to your question, ideally once you've checked out a business scenario to a maintenance project you wouldn't continue to maintain it. It is the responsibility of that project to maintain it. In the meanwhile if you have a support issue that requires that business scenario to be updated, this will have to assessed and handled by either the project or the solution administrators.
    Cheers

  • 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.
    Regards,
    Daniel.

  • 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.

  • 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 - 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

    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.

Maybe you are looking for
