Solution Manager - Create Project Directory structure
We're planning to use Solution managare for BW upgrade project and would like to maintain all the documentation (like status report, project presentation, Problem log) in SOLMAN. We would like to have directories and sub-directories so that user can select the directory to upload the document.
Could some one help me on how to create directory structure at project level? I'm familiar with business scenario option. Is it only option to load document? Can I've directory structure at project level instead of business scenario level.
Thanks,
Milind
Hi Milind,
You can create one more project for uploading and storing FS and TS.
If you don't want to use the buss scenario option.
For this new project select the components and from solar01 just create the folder manually by whatever name you want .say for e.g SD-pack1 ,pack2 etc.
Upload the files relevant to each module or so.
Please reward points if it helps.

Solution Manager create an IBase...
Hi fellows,
My question is, if in the future I must apply more satellite/backend systems in my SLD (SMSY) in Solution Manager... As you know when we want setup maintenance optimizer generally appears an error which it said that we must have to Generate an IBASE (IB51 & IB52) and so I created that Ibase entry with my all systems landscape... but imagine that I want to apply more systems in tcode SMSY (System Landscape Directory tree) when that happens I must create again on more time an Ibase, this is, I will have problems in maintenance optimizer if I apply more systems and don´t make the regenerate the IBASE ?
Best regards,
Thanks in advance,
JmgmadHi Prakhar Saxena,
Thanks a lot for your quick and usefull answer... you have right!!
One more question about IBASE and the respective tcodes IB_GEN and IB52, I duplicate the systems in IBase monitor on IB52 I see in that tree of SAP solution Manager Installations I have twice systems, because when I regenerate the Ibase (in IB_GEN) I select the same systems that I have apply in past... so I want to delete the systems that are repeated... How can I do that ?! ...
Can you explain how I delete systems in that tree on IB52 (with Ext.ID: SOL_MAN_DATA_REP) ??
Thanks indeed...
I will give you a max point !

Creating the directory structure in Planning
<p>Hi</p><p>can anyone tell me how to the directory structure inPlanning.</p><p>thanks and regards,</p><p>Balu</p>
Hi Sham,
Thanks for your help,
I ended up using:
dialog.success = function(form, response) {
CQ.Ext.getCmp(window.CQ_SiteAdmin_id).reloadCurrentTreeNode();
var loc = response.result.Location;
loc = loc.replace("/content/", "/cf#/content/") + ".html";
CQ.shared.Util.open(loc);
Now, this launches a new page for the editor, when the page is successfully created...
Ideally, I wanted to use some other function instead of CQ.Ext.getCmp(window.CQ_SiteAdmin_id).reloadCurrentTreeNode(); -> CQ.Ext.getCmp(window.CQ_SiteAdmin_id).reloadCurrentTreeNodeAndNavigateToPath(path). Is there a function that does this in CQ ?

New Custom OAF project - Directory structure
Hello,
I am a newbie to the OAF. I am trying to set up a totally new custom OAF project (using Jdeveloper 9i)
In our current directory structure under $JAVA_TOP, there is no folder/directory for custom projects. Is there a recommended standard directory structure that needs to be used for custom projects/applications? or is it advisable to set up a new directory and the children directories underneath? If new directory needs to be set up what is the logical structure? Can any one provide an example?
Thanks,Thank you Gyan for the feedback. One last question about the directory structure:
We have a custom schema in our current Oracle Apps DB (let us say 'zz'). As far as I know there is no specific responsibility associated to this schema. In the current non-OAF prod world, we develop custom forms/reports based of the tables in that schema 'zz'. We tend to think of this schema as a custom module. Eventhough there is no specific responsibility associated to this schema, forms/reports developed of this, would be registered to relavent module. ie., AP, GL, FL, PN etc.
If I want to use the tables from that schema and build OAF projects/pages, would my directory structure be still the same as I mentioned before but with zz as the module? i.e, $JAVA_TOP/xx/oracle/apps/zz/?

Solution Manager Create remote monitoring entry
Hello,
I need some help or clarification please. We just upgraded our Solution Manager to EHP1 spk25 and I'm trying to setup Solman to support central system monitoring. I'm on the last step to enter the moitored ABAP system in CEN through RZ21 Techincal >Configure Central System>Create remote monitoring entry.
I can enter my own System ID but can't enter the RFC destination ? These default to *_RZ20_Collect and *_RZ20_Analyze. I want to use the RFC's already in place through Charm since these are already setup and working correctly. Can someone tell me how to change this or why we have to use the defaults.
Thanks in advance
StephaniePlease disregard.

Creating a Standby Database with the Same Directory Structure
Hello gurus,
I am self-learning the feature Oracle Data Guard, so I am testing it on Oracle 10g R2.
At Oracle documentation there is a section F.4.: Creating a Standby Database with the Same Directory Structure*, that explains how to create a standby database with RMAN but there is something that I don´t understand:
In the standby server, I created a database with the SID equal to production database* with the objetive to have the same directory structure, but when I try to startup nomount the standby database with pfile appear this expected error:
ORA-16187: LOG_ARCHIVE_CONFIG contains duplicate, conflicting or invalid attributes
So my question is: Is possible have the Same Directory Structure on both: Production and StandBy server?
Thanks in advanced.Uwe and mseberg: thanks for your quick answers
I have a doubt: How can you have the same directory structure if you have differents SIDs?, for example if you follow the OFA suggestions you would must have:
On Production server: */u01/app/oracle/oradata/PRIMARY/system.dbf*
On StandBy server: */u01/app/oracle/oradata/STANDBY/system.dbf*
Or you created the directory structure manually on StandBy server? For example replacing the string STANDBY* to PRIMARY* before create the database using dbca.
Do you understand my doubt? Excuse me for my english.
Thanks. -

Difference between Solution manager and ASAP
Hi All,
Can anyone tell me what's the difference between SAP solution manager and ASAP?
Regards
SarojASAP stands For Accelerated SAP........its a SAP implementation methodology. It consists of Five phases---
1. Project Preparation
2. Business Blueprint
3. Realization phase
4. Final preparation phase
5. Go live and Support
For Solution manager u can follow this link:
http://www.sap.com/services/pdf/BWP_SB_SAP_Solution_Manager.pdf
ASAP and Solution Manager are tools used for managing SAP implementation and roll out project. Both supports sevral stages of the project as mention by Raj.
The main Difference between three tools (ASAP, VSAP and Solution Manager) are as follow:
ASAP:
- Offline CD set with tools, content and a methodology for component-based implementation projects
VSAP:
- Offline CD set with tools, content and methodologies for Evaluation, Implementation and Continuous Business Improvement
- ASAP CD set is used as a tool platform. ASAP content is included to cover the implementation phase
Solution Manager:
- Onsite platform to support key implementation actitivities
- Including key ASAP concepts and tool features
- Enhanced concepts to encompass the specifics of mySAP.com implementations
- Integrated platform to support Implementation and operation of mySAP.com
- Solution Manager is server based tool.
More informaiton you can find from the following links:
ValueSAP : https://www.service.sap.com/valuesapupdates
Solution Manager: http://service.sap.com/solutionmanager
some documents what is the duty of asap and solution manager i think with u can understand the difference.
asap means,
ASAP
ASAP stands for Accelerated SAP. Its purpose is to help design SAP implementation in the most efficient
manner possible. Its goal is to effectively optimize time, people, quality and other resources, using a proven
methodology to implementation.
ASAP focuses on tools and training, wrapped up in a five-phase process oriented roadmap for guiding
implementation.
The road map is composed of five well-known consecutive phases:
Phase 1 Project Preparation
Phase 2 Business Blueprint
Phase 3 Realization
Phase 4 Final Preparation
Phase 5 Go-Live and support
In today's post we will discuss the first phase.
Phase 1 : Project Preparation
Phase 1 initiates with a retrieval of information and resources. It is an important time to assemble the
necessary components for the implementation. Some important milestones that need to be accomplished
for phase 1 include
Obtaining senior-level management/stakeholder support
identifying clear project objectives
architecting an efficient decision-making process
creating an environment suitable for change and re-engineering
building a qualified and capable project team.
Senior level management support:
One of the most important milestones with phase 1 of ASAP is the full agreement and cooperation of the
important company decision-makers - key stakeholders and others. Their backing and support is crucial for a
successful implementation.
Clear project objectives:
be concise in defining what your objectives and expectations are for this venture. Vague or unclear notions of
what you hope to obtain with SAP will handicap the implementation process. Also make sure that your
expectations are reasonable considering your company's resources. It is essential to have clearly defined
ideas, goals and project plans devised before moving forward.
An efficient decision making process:
One obstacle that often stalls implementation is a poorly constructed decision-making process. Before
embarking on this venture, individuals need to be clearly identified. Decide now who is responsible for
different decisions along the way. From day one, the implementation decision makers and project leaders
from each area must be aware of the onus placed on them to return good decisions quickly.
Environment suitable for change and re engineering:
Your team must be willing to accept that, along with new SAP software, things are going to change, the
business will change, and information technology enabling the business will change as well. By
implementing SAP, you will essentially redesign your current practices to model more efficient or predefined
best business practices as espoused by SAP. Resistance to this change will impede the progress of your
implementation.
Building a qualified project team:
Probably the most important milestone early in assembling a project team for the implementation. If you are
implementing the materials management and plant maintenance modules, you need to include people from
both of these departments. The team should also represent management as well as non management or
"functional" personnel. Sometimes management is less aware of the day-to-day functions of an organization,
including how implementing SAP will tactically influence those function
ASAP- Second Phase- Business Blueprint
SAP has defined a business blueprint phase to help extract pertinent information about your company that is
necessary for implementation. These blueprints are in the form of questionnaires that are designed to probe
for information that uncovers how your company does business. As such, they also serve to document the
implementation. Each business blueprint document essentially outlines your future business processes and
business requirements. The kinds of questions asked are germane to the particular business function, as
seen in the following sample questions:
1) What information do you capture on a purchase order?
2) What information is required to complete a purchase order?
Accelerated SAP question and answer database:
The question and answer database (QADB) is a simple although aging tool designed to facilitate the creation
and maintenance of your business blueprint. This database stores the questions and the answers and
serves as the heart of your blue print. Customers are provided with a customer input template for each
application that collects the data. The question and answer format is standard across applications to
facilitate easier use by the project team.
Issues database:
Another tool used in the blueprinting phase is the issues database. This database stores any open concerns
and pending issues that relate to the implementation. Centrally storing this information assists in gathering
and then managing issues to resolution, so that important matters do not fall through the cracks. You can
then track the issues in database, assign them to team members, and update the database accordingly.
ASAP Phase- 3 - Realization:
With the completion of the business in phase 2, "functional" experts are now ready to begin configuring SAP.
The Realization phase is broken in to two parts.
1) Your SAP consulting team helps you configure your baseline system, called the baseline configuration.
2) Your implementation project team fine-tunes that system to meet all your business and process
requirements as part of the fine tuning configuration.
The initial configuration completed during the base line configuration is based on the information that you
provided in your blueprint document. The remaining approximately 20% of your configuration that was not
tackled during the baseline configuration is completed during the fine tuning configuration. Fine tuning
usually deals with the exceptions that are not covered in baseline configuration. This final bit of tweaking
represents the work necessary to fit your special needs.
Configuration Testing:
With the help of your SAP consulting team, you segregate your business processes into cycles of related
business flows. The cycles serve as independent units that enable you to test specific parts of the business
process. You can also work through configuring the SAP implementation guide (IMG). A tool used to assist
you in configuring your SAP system in a step-by-step manner.
Knowledge Transfer:
As the configuration phase comes to a close, it becomes necessary for the Project team to be self-sufficient
in their knowledge of the configuration of your SAP system. Knowledge transfer to the configuration team
tasked with system maintenance (that is, maintenance of the business processes after Go-live) needs to be
completed at this time.
In addition, the end users tasked with actually using the system for day-to-day business purposes must be
trained.
ASAP Methodology - Phase 4 - Final Preparation:
As phase 3 merges into phase 4, you should find yourselves not only in the midst of SAP
training, but also in the midst of rigorous functional and stress testing. Phase 4 also
concentrates on the fine tuning of your configuration before Go-live and more importantly, the
migration of data from your old system or systems to SAP.
Workload testing (including peak volume, daily load, and other forms of stress testing), and
integration or functional testing are conducted to ensure the accuracy of your data and the
stability of your SAP system. Because you should have begun testing back in phase 2, you do
not have too far to go until Go-live. Now is an important time to perform preventative
maintenance checks to ensure optimal performance at your SAP system.
At the conclusion of phase 4, take time to plan and document a Go-live strategy. Preparation for
Go-live means preparing for your end-users questions as they start actively working on the new
SAP system.
ASAP - Phase 5 - Go-live and Support:
The Go-live milestone is itself is easy to achieve; a smooth and uneventful Go-live is another
matter altogether. Preparation is the key, including attention to what-if scenarios related not only
to the individual business processes deployed but also to the functioning of technology
underpinning these business processes and preparation for ongoing support, including
maintenance contracts and documented processes and procedures are essential
