Solution Documentation Assistant: RBPD

RBPD (Reverse Business Process Documentation) - Is this possibly only with Solman 7.1 or can this be performed using Solman 7.0 as well?
Does anyone have a "How-to" on this function using Solution Documentation Assistant?
Any inputs, documentation, materials, etc. is highly appreciated.
Thank you

I have repeatedly been told that using Solman 7.0 a BPH (with tcodes and img objects mapped) can be created using workload data from EWA.  Is this true?
Yes, plz see my response below
Now assume that there is no Template/Implementation project in the Solman 7.0 system that contains any business process structure. Is this possible?
Here is path for how to go about it:
Even if you do not have an implementation/template project you have some documentation that contains information about what was done to test the implementation? Something like a test script i.e. an Integration Test Script.
Just create some mock project and  select the most revelant business scenario  from the Business Process Repository (a.k.a BPR - The preconfigured out of the box scenario list that SAP delivers with SolMan) that you want to reverse engineer, for example Order to Cash process. Now you must have some scripts with you, that will act as the path to show u what transactions you run in your business process like VA01 , VA02 etc...
As a next step, Now use the BPR and the test script as a starting point to define your project. and then run the SoDoCa to do its analysis for the same project and there will be an option to update your SolMan project within the SoDoCa workcenter. The work is iterative and will require the O2C configurator's assistance at one point, even though you have a test script with you.
Since you use the BPR hte configuration comes out of the box, which explains how SAP attempts to let you reverse engineer.
There will be possible gaps and it will require continuous review eventually, which is part of keeping up the Business process documentation current.
If so, can you direct me to specific documentation? I couldn't find this in the solman-rkt link for 7.0.
I believe the RKT documentation does not have this information and in the ramp up process we were told about this being available in 7.1 with more added functionality.

  • Excluding some objects Solution Documentation Assistant Analysis

    Is there a way to exclude certain objects ( transaction codes/programs etc .. for example SE* ) while running an Analysis in SolDocA ?   We have numerous Informatica generated objects that need to go into this exclusion list. The intention is that these objects wont appear in the Analysis report. The names of these objects are like ZDW####.
    Any help is appreciated.

    Hi Rony,
    The Solution Documentation Assistant(SDA) Analysis is based on an Analysis Project which has been created e.g. from a Solution Manager project. Assuming that your transactions etc. for which you won't perform an Analysis for are assigned only to certain business processes or scenarios, you might exclude these structures and sub-structures during the creation of an Analysis Project. With regards to the report you can exclude such objects for the structure results as described above. As the report contains also objects from the Analysis Summary, you would need to remove the whole section or the few tables or the entries you don't want to have in manually from a copy of the report. In case you want to have a list without such objects from a summary table you might use filter functions before doing the export of the table.

    Hi Barry,
    To solve this issue, you may try steps described below:
    1. Call  Transaction 'SOLMAN_DIRECTORY'
    2. Select your source Solution via single click.
    3. In detail panel, check if there is any valid Logical component in the
    'System Group' Tab.
    4. Add related Logical Component to the Solution, make sure there is val
    id System for at least one role ( Development System e.g. )
    5. Save your Solution.
    6. Try to create Analysis Project from that Solution again and afterward
    screate an Analysis.
    Hope such information can help you solve such issue.

    Hi Bhavesh
    This is a good question to me as I have no knowledge about IBM Websphere at all.
    But at my opinion, you will need an "Websphere Appserver by IBM" (nothing else than IBM Websphere) to run the IBM Websphere Message Broker on. And therefore, you should go on assigning your Message Broker as product instance of the "Websphere Appserver by IBM".
    If the IBM Websphere Message Broker is not a product part of Websphere (App)server, you should create a new product. Secondarly, if the version of your Websphere Message Broker differs from the ones provided by SAP (right pane "Productversion"), you will also need to create your own product, as they are not changeable if provided by SAP.
    A third point to think about is, that if you would like to point out, that there is a real difference between the IBM Websphere Message Broker and (perhabs separatly installed) IBM Websphere Appserver, you should create your own product.
    Last, but not less important: If you use the "Technical System Monitoring" of Solution Manager (see Solman Setup), you shoudl check, if there is are any templates for checking an Websphere Appserver provided by SAP. If so, you will need to assign your Message Broker as "Websphere Appserver" in order to use this monitoring template.

  • RBE/RBPD/SolMan Documentation

    Hi,
    Inquisitive about RBE, I happened to check threads to understand RBE and eventually ended with RBPD and SolMan Documentation.
    RBE now known as RBPD/SolMan Documentation etc...So a bit confused.
    I wish to know why RBE is used, when it is used, would appreciate if I get few examples to understand better.
    Cheers,
    Aditya V

    Dear Aditya V The official successor of SAP RBE or RBE+ from IBIS is Reverse Business Process Documentation short RBPD as part of SAP Solution Manager "Solution Documentation Assistant" short SDA. It will help to create an automated solution documentation and usage analysis of any SAP product. Details can be found under http://service.sap.com/RBPD Kind regards, Barbara

  • Is it possible to track tcode usage with solution manager?

    I am on the BW side of things, but a co-worker from the functional side wants some way to track the number of times a tcode was used in r/3. As I understand it, we used to do this using RBE (Reverse Business Engineering) before the upgrade, but the free version of RBE has been discontinued. Is there a way to track this type of data using solution manager or does anyone know of any way to track this?
    Thanks

    Yes brett it is possible with EHP1 version in solman

  • SAP processes available for use in the process analysis tool Adonis?

    Hi everybody,
    I'm currently working in a project where we design a process for process documentation for a globally acting company.
    Mainly there are SAP and non-SAP based processes.
    For the SAP processes there doesn't exist any process diagrams just some functional specifications how the SAP system is working.
    All documentation will be designed with Adonis, a business process analysis tool by BOC (Link: http://www.boc-group.com/).
    Does anybody know, whether there are business process documentations available by SAP as diagrams e.g. the order flow process so that I can import the business process into Adonis to make it available as a process diagram? As far as I know Adonis can import BPMN, UML, XML files.
    Any help or hint is appreciated.
    Thanks in advance and best regards,
    Frank

    Hi Dan,
    no this is not possible. The Solution Documentation Assistant allows the analysis of how often certain transaction, reports etc. are executed in a certain time frame. But this is not split-up per organizational unit like company code or plant.
    You should contact your SAP Support Advisor and ask for a Continuous Quality Check service offering "Business Process Analysis & Monitoring" as part of SAP's Enterprise Support. This service comprises two remote days . One day analyzing your ERP processes like Order to Cash, Procure to Pay, Manufacturing, Plant Maintenance and Warehouse Management. There you can learn something about used document types and plants, sales orgs or shipping points. The second service day is used to setup an Business Process Monitoring (BPMon) example in your SAP Solution Manager.
    You can learn more about BPMon either in several SDN blogs (best starting point /people/volker.vongloeden/blog/2009/07/23/functional-scope-of-business-process-monitoring-in-sap-solution-manager) or on the SAP Service Marketplace https://service.sap.com/bpm.

  • SAP implementation complexity estimator

    Dear Experts,
    coupld please, share whether there are any estimators (tools or methodologies) for the implementation complexity in order to check:
    - Utilizatin of SAP (like how many Z-enhancements),
    - how many transactions used/ not used
    - Security customizing, how many profiles, roles...
    - Some reports on how many documents created
    The idea is to have some tool to understand the sophistication of the implementation, and utilization of SAP functionality installed.
    Thanks in advance,
    Regards,
    Kirill Nepomnyashchiy

    Hi Kirill,
    SAP used to support a tool called   RBE  -  Reverse Business Engineer - This too basically would extract the historical information out of your production environment and identify  /  Transactions Used / Not Used  / Z Programs ..ect.   They stoped supporting this a number of years ago.  There is new functionality I've heard of in Solution MAnager 7.0 Enterprise Edition called  Solution documentation Assistant - this works in a similar fashion to basically identify the scope of your solution and build you the documentation around it.    There is one Company called -  IBIS-RBE that will provide a service at your company to extract your historical data as well.
    Hope this helps

  • Replacement for Reverse Business Engineer

    Is there any replacement for Reverse Business Engineer?
    Tony Tam

    Hi Tony,
    RBE was originally co-developed by SAP and IBIS AG in the late 90tys..
    SAP and IBIS agreed that IBIS would offer RBE Plus as the successor of RBE when SAP stopped development in 2004 (http://www.ibis-thome.com/no_cache/en/publications/press-releases/article/75-aufwand.html?tx_ttnews[backPid]=338). Since then RBE Plus is available via IBIS.
    Furthermore SAP and IBIS have continued their cooperation and both companies jointly enhance the capabilities of SAP Solution Manager: http://www.sap.com/global/templates/press.epx?pressid=14788&query=IBIS
    IBIS will continue to offer RBE Plus services and tools to support SAP's customer and IBIS and SAP will offer add-on service which can't be provided via Solution Manager or Solution Documentation Assistant (SDA).
