Solution Manager as documention repository?
Hi,
We're planning to configure our Sol Man as documentation repository wherein we will transfer all the files in our shared drive to the Solution Manager. However, I'm not sure if this is possible or not. If yes, kindly provide me the link or files that would help me in the configuration.
Thanks,
Carter
Hi,
SAP Solution Manager is a centralized, robust solution management toolset that facilitates technical support for distributed systems -- with functionality that covers all key aspects of solution deployment, operation, and continuous improvement. It combines tools, content, and direct access to SAP to increase the reliability of solutions and lower total cost of ownership.
First of all create a project in solar_project_admin.
Secondly create the scenarios or recongnize the process in solar01.
Here you can upload all the doc in solar01 project doc tab.
http://service.sap.com/rkt-solman
and go to solution manager4.0 technical settings.

Linking Solution Manager Project Documentation - MS Sharepoint
Hello,
When working on a project in Solman we upload documents as needed in each phase or scenario. This is well known to all... But we already also, have an MS Sharepoint portal sometimes with documents already stored there.
Is there a way to include the link to sharepoint ?
In other words.. Is there a way to utilize the folder structure provided by sharepoint in solution manager without replicating documents ?Hello,
I think we found a way... Just during uploading a file to Solman, choose the option "web link", then your documentation tile will jump to the sharepoint folders.
Thanks,,

Hello All,
We are sending the report Roadmap report RS_SOLAR_EVAL_ROAD_DOCU as an attachment to the document approval mail.
In the attachment we are passing parameter as Project_id, Roadmap and the technical name for the document.
But when the approver opens the attchment he is not able to get the document( he is not able to execute the report). The project id gets changed, the porject id we pass through link gets changed when the approver opens the report..
Can you please let me know the solution the issue.

BharatHi,
Roadmaps
The Roadmaps are part of the SAP Solution Manager. They contain the standard SAP implementation methodology and cover the most important aspects and phases of a SAP implementation. The Roadmaps provide links to accelerators and tools which perform project tasks.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_sm40/helpdata/en/09/deff3adfdd2a75e10000000a11402f/frameset.htm
How to create
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_sm40/helpdata/en/09/deff3adfdd2a75e10000000a11402f/frameset.htm
The RoadMap UI element displays the steps in a wizard. Each step is represented by a separate RoadMapStep Object or MultipleRoadMapStep. You can use various symbols to mark the start points and the end points of this UI element. Assigning the value more to the property startPointDesign or endPointDesign indicates to the user that there are other steps before the first visible step, or after the last visible step.
The RoadMap UI element is used to display step by step workflows. This enables the application development to display small steps of a clearly defined work process.

Links to Documentation in a Solution Manager Project
Solution Manager Project Documentation has a feature that allows you to "link" to differnet levels of your documentation. For instance, if I attach a documentation template at the Process level of a Project and there are 10 process steps under that process, I can create links at each process step that will link to the document that I attached at the process level.
Is there a way to automatically build these links or must I create each link manually?
ThxHi Rod,
at least until solman version 7.0 ehp1 i'm not aware of any automatic way to do that. Maybe in the 7.1 could be any other option, maybe importing from any external tool.
I believe that the only things you can do in a node and replicate to the subnodes are the settings in the administration tab.
Kind regards, Fabricius -
Query Regarding Documentation in Solution Manager
Solution Manager Library says that when we do any configuration or testing ,automatically the document(Configuration Document or Test Script) gets generated.Can we have an Overview of how Solution Manager handles Documentation.If Automatic Documentation is Possible what are the settings to be done and where to view the Documents?
Hi,
You con do it in 3 different levels for example:
1. At Business Scenario, go to the TAB General Documentation and put all your document related to this Scenario
2. At Process, same as Business Scenario
3. At Process Step, same as Business Scenario.
Note: all the documentation for the project you are in this moment must be in the TAB Proj. Documentation so to reference the documentation you allready have on Gen documentation Go to Copy/Lynk and the chose "Lynk to project doc. Tab".

Forward message between CUSTOMER Solution Manager to VAR Solution Manager
Hello,
we have configured our solution manager for VAR enviroment.
Now we need to connect the customer solution manager to our VAR solution manager to forward the message opened at customer site.
In Solution Manager VAR documentation I found 2 documents (How To: Setup Service Desk 2 Service Desk (Demo) https://websmp207.sap-ag.de/sapidb/011000358700000129912009E.ZIP and How To: Einrichtung Service Desk zu Service Desk Verbindung https://websmp207.sap-ag.de/sapidb/011000358700000025722009D.PDF) but they are not very clear.
Did anyone setup this configuration?
Thanks

Hi Andrea,
- What's not clear?
- What information is missing in the documents?
Just post your questions here in the forum.

Solution Manager documentation
We are planning to use documentation management functionality to upload all our documents (blueprints, config, test plans etc) in Solution manager. We have a big repository of documents that need to the uploaded.
Is there a recommended way to mass upload these documents or do we need to upload each document manually?
Is there any other way to attach the documents at the database level? We are trying to minimize the manual work here, as we have hundreds of docs. Any suggestion is welcome.
Thanks in advance for sharing your ideas.
AshutoshMutsaddi,
With reference to the upload process, understanding that it is a bit of a pain but the context of the docuements to the respective project objects is necessary as the underlaying technoloogy (knowledge wharehouse) merely holds the documents but they need to be linked, logically to some part of the Solar T-Codes or RMMAIN T-Code to have any relevence to the activities that you are going to use them in or have re-use for them at a later point.
So if the intent is to use these for structured projects, they need a place to go and that will make the process manual. The method of re-use does somewhat require that your documents have some type of presence in a project or otherwise to referenece them over to current activiites.
Hope that this has helped with your query, if it has answered your question, please set this thread to answered. -
Customizing Documentation from Solution Manager
Morning,
We made project customizing via Solution Manager, and our customer would like to have a report or customizing documentation from SM. How to generate this document via Solution Manager
Thank You in advance
DPHello D;
As mentioned in the previous answer - SOLAR02 is where you can generate the Configuration Guide (SOLAR01 to generage the BluePrint).
My box is down right now - so I'll to respond from memory. In Solar02, you simply click the matchcode within either the scenario or step. Then a dialog box will appear with various processes or industry solutions. You select the ones you need, and those will automatically generate the Scenario/Steps/etc.-> as well provide the config objects and other related transactions. Some have a bonus of further documentation as well. Once the "business repository" is updated, then you can select the top left menu path (sorry, don't know the name), and then select the Generate Configuration Guide.
Follow through the messages -> and once the Word document is display (it will be blank) -> Run the Macro (with all capital letters).
This will take a moment to generate the document.
I hope this helps - it's purely from memory. Once my system is back up - I'll see if you still need assistance and I can guide you better.
Best of luck,

How to downloadin Business Process Repository in Solution Manager?
Hello,
Does anybody know how to download whole Business Process Repository from solution manager?
I know how to download BPR, that are related to project, to excel file, but I want to download all the scenarios,processes are inbuilt to the Solution Manager business blueprint.
Can anybody help me?
Thanks,
MahanteshHello Mahantesh,
I suppose that your idea behind this question is that you would like to browse the contents of the BPR. For this specific pupose, SAP will deliver a new web dynpro application with SAP Solution Manager 4.0 SP 12 and the respective stack coming out mid June 2007 which allows you to browse all BPR contents in your SAP Solution Manager system. So you no longer have to create a seperate project and select the contents via F4 value help in SOLAR01 in order to access the contents.
For further updates, please check the news mid June:
<a href="http://service.sap.com/solutionmanager">http://service.sap.com/solutionmanager</a>
Media Library -> Technical Papers. It will probably be called: "4.0 Support Package Stack <latest stack> [probably stack 12]"
However, please note that an individual download of the entire or partial BPR structures into MS Excel will not be possible.
Best regards,

Documentation of non ABAP transactions in SAP Solution Manager
Hello
In our implementation project, we will implement solutions using Java Web Dynpro, Web Dynpro and BSP Applications. We want to document these solutions using the transaction tab in SOLAR01/02.
Does anyone know whether there is a best practice or standard method for identifying the different elements? I see that for example the Java Web Dynpro shall be documented using the fields:
Text
Application name
Parameter list
I have tried to search on help.sap.com and on sdn.sap.com for guidelines or a documentation standard, but without any success. I checked the BPR, but I see that the Web Dynpros that are documented there follow different standards.
I really appreciate any input on this topic.
Best regards from KnutHi,

You should created this user in working client.

You can use RZ21 or System monitoring through work center. From Solution manager 7.1, you need to use work center only. So, I would suggest you to use work center only.
