Solution Manager Document Storage

Hi Team,
I am aware that the documents in solution manager are stored in Knowledge Warehouse (KW) through content server installation. Can anyone brief about How does the document storage in KW will impact / consume the overall storage capacity of Sol Man database? How does the document storage will impact the oveall Sol Man system performance?
On which scenario,we recommend installation of KPRO server in the Sol Man System for document storage?
Guidance Required.

Hi,
For implementation area regarding the technical name of the folders, the following rule applies
for storing documents in Knowledge Warehouse folders:
for PROJECTS:
With the exception of template projects, the system stores all documents
in a folder with the technical project name when you create them.
In template projects, the system stores all documents, with the
exception of project documents, in folder SOLAR00. Project documents are
stored in a folder with the technical project name.
for SOLUTIONS:
The system stores all documents in a folder with the technical name of
the solution when you create them.
Check the note 913175 as reference.
Kind Regards,
Fabricius

Solution Manager Document attributes

We are using solution manager for project documents. We want to add more custom attributes to the existing attributes like document type, status and the owner.
Is this possible and if yes how to do it?
Regards
Ravi

In Solution Manager project, business blueprint documents can be maintained. Like functional and technical spec documnets or configuration documents. There are attributes like document type, document status and document owner assigned to these docuents.
I want to create more attributes like target date, effort..for a document and maintain the values for every
document.

Solution Manager Document templates

Hello Solution Manager Experts.
When creating word templates for document types we would like word to collect information automatically from Solution Manager. One example is the template for Process step description. When the user navigates to a business process and adds a new document this document should automatically be filled with the correct data from Solution Manager according to the template. In this example this could be:
     Name of the user
     Business Scenario
     Business process
     Business process step
     Priority
     Keywords
     Etc.
The question is if there is any way of producing this kind of templates?
If the answer is yes, does anyone have templates to share?

Solution Manager Documents

Is anyone aware of a tool that can be used to extract project documents out of solution manager into a folder? I am looking for something similar to the Business Blueprint extract, but I want the individual documents, not the single blueprint document. I would also like to be able to select the documents to be extracted based on entered selection criteria, such as owner, last changed, etc.

In the documentation from Dr. Christoph Roller and Dr. Anja Modler-Spreizer
IBU Consumer Products and Life Sciences it mentions the following:
SAP Solution Manager automatically generates all electronic
records for creating, modifying, or deleting data. These records
are date stamped and time stamped and include the user ID of
the individual who is logged on to the system and who performed
the action. Electronic records also maintain the old and
new values of the change and the transaction used to generate
the record.
My question is, I deleted a row in the structure in the blueprint transaction SOLAR01. I had attached to this row several documents. After I deleted this row, I was wondering where I could find the document history of the deleted attached documents to that row in the structure. I have been unable to retrieve those deleted documents so far.
If it is true what Dr. Christoph Roller and Dr. Anja Modler-Spreizer are saying I should be able to get those documents back. Question is how, as there is no row left (as I deleted it) to look within attributes to get it back.
Does anyone know the answer on this?

Mass Delete of Solution Manager Documents

Hi
We have a requirement in our project to mass delete documents ( some 4000+ ) . Is it possible
Ideally I would like to filter them with SOLAR_EVAL based on attributes and then do mass delete.
Any pointers will really be appreciated and rewarded
Regards
Jag

Hi Jagmohan,
Sorry I dont have a direct answer myself.
However, all I can say is there is no such direct facility available in SolMan.
The procedure for mass document deletion should be much similar to the need for mass upload and perhaps met only by ABAP development.
[This|Mass Upload documents to Solution Manager; thread could help you to some extent.

Are Documents exported or linked from Solution Manager to HP Quality Center

Dear all,
I don't find an answer to this questions out of the documentations of the HP QC neither in the SAP notes.
By example: if I'm marking a project document in a blueprint to be transfered to HP QC, will it be physically copied or will a link (PHIO / LOIO) been created to the content server document and the link will be transferd to the HP QC.
Any help is useful. Thanks in advance.
Detlev

Links are created in QC to the Solution Manager documents; this works fine for files that are actually stored in Solman, however, I am encountering an issue when the Solman doc is a web link. The link in QC produces an error "File does not begin with '%PDF-' and document cannot be viewed

Problem in Application Help Configuration in Solution Manager

Hi Experts,
Here I facing one problem during Application Help configuration..
When I am going through application help for Solman Configuration it's taking me to standard erp help..
Where as in SR13, under PlainHtmlHttp,
In path tab I had given saphelp_sm40/helpdata for solution manager document.
But for other standard t-code it's giving actual application help.
where for SMSY,SOLAR01 etc i am not getting the application help.
Looking for advices.
Thanks & Regards,
Sumanta Chatterjee

Dear Sumanta,
This depends on how you want to (or how you can) use this http://help.
sap.com site.
At first you must be aware of the different areas on this site, these
areas have different URL structures, for example:
- http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2004 <<< for mySAP ERP
- http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200 <<< for R3 Enterprise
- http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04 <<< for SAP NetWeaver 04
- http://help.sap.com/saphelp_sm32 <<< for SAP Solution Manager 3.2
The main problem is that in the area "http://help.sap.com/saphelp_sm32"
there is only online documentation for the Solution Manager
functionality.
Can you please check the table SBAON_CCHK with transaction SE16.
The following record must exist:
MANDT COMPONENT NAME_EN
xxx ST Solar Help
If this record does not exist, please create this record manually.
This should help resolve the issue.
Regards
Amit

New to Solution Manager

We are planning to install Solution Manager and have arrived on following configuration based on what we could understand from Sizing tool and guide;
Intel Xeon Quad core with 16 GB RAM, 500 GB HDD - Win 2008 Enterprise-64 bit 25 user and SQL 2008 5 user.
we have around 30 customers sending approx 50 msgs per month.
Can anyone advice us if this is ok. We are from BOBJ background and have no exposure to any other technology of SAP.
Thanks & Regards

Dear Mayank.
Thanks for your reply. We arrived at this sizing only after referring to that sizing guide. Main problem is that everywhere all Solution Manager refer to ABAP, SAP modules, BW etc., but there is no reference to Business Objects.
We are basically from Business Objects background and SAP has asked us to install Solution Manager. Though we have raised the case with SAP, there is no help coming. Net Weaver and other SAP terminology used in Solution Manager document is new for us.
We have succeeded in doing Basic installation, we are lost in the post installation steps. Guides available on the portal are not much of help as they are cryptic and there are too many references than clear steps. When you reach the end of references one gets lost and is more confused.
Can you give some help based on your experience? first of all it is not clear to us as how Solution Manager works? SAP guys instead of giving a brief 3-4 sentence answer, send us the same solution manager documents links which we have referred before going to SAP.
Thanks & Regards
Piyush

Integrate Solution Manager

Hi Everybody,
we are also using the Solution Manager for storing documents. How is it possible to integrate the Solution Manager within the Portal in order to use the search function from the portal. Our purpose is to search the Solution Manager Documents within the portal through the Trex engine (standalone engine on the portal side).
Is this possible?
Are there also other options for integrating Solution Manager in to Portal?
regards,
Seed
Edited by: seed_mopo on Jul 16, 2008 3:01 PM

Hi Seed,
as far as I know, SolMan stores the documents in KW. In EP, you can access/integrate types of data sources (Windows CIFS, cFolders, other Webpages, etc). Maybe there is also a way of connecting a KW document store to the portal. When this integration is possible, TREX can access the documents and therefor you can search for SolMan stored documents inside the portal.

Where are the actual documents stored in solution manager (KW)?

Hello,
I have a question regarding Solution Manager and storing documentation.
When we in our process structure in a project uploads a word document
(as documentation), where are the file then physically stored?
I have checked the table SA01PHIO (a KW table), here I see a new entry every time I
upload a new word document (or other type of documentation). But this
table does not grow accordingly to the size of the word documents I
upload, so the physical document must be stored somewhere else in the
database.
The description of field 'PHIO_ID' in table SA01PHIO is "Physical document", but since the field is of type char (size 32), then it can only be a link to the actual file?
We need to know where the documents are stored, so that we can plan our
storage strategy and database space management accordingly.
Anyone knows where the files are stored in the database?
Thanks in advance.
Regards

Samuli,
Thank you for your help.
After further searches, I have found exactly what I was looking for.
Samuli, as you said, documents are stored in table SACONT01, but I did not understand how they were stored, as all the data you have in this table is something like:
FF06010102028000343130320000000074040000121F9D02A37D7259692086C2F0D7761017222...
So the information can be benefit to other people searching, I will share it here.
The string of alpha-numeric characters you see above is a "part" of the document.
Document data is cut into clusters, and stored in table SACONT01 (in field CLUSTD, coupled with CLUSTR).
In order to retrieve all the clusters for a given document, you need to get its logical ID (LOIO - LOgical Information on Object):
- Select the document (SOLAR01/02 for projects, SOLMAN_DIRECTORY for solutions)
- Enter DOC_INFO in the transaction code field
- Copy the Object ID
In table SA01PHIO, retrieve the physical id(s) from the logical id (PHIO - PHysical Information on Object).
Search SACONT01 with the physical id(s).
Just as an example:
- 340 entries for a Word document (about 50 pages)
- 57000 entries for a video (200 MB)
Hope it will help.
Regards,
Rémi.

Storage documentation in Solution Manager

Hello everyone!
I have some difficulties with methods of storage documentation in Solution Manager.
I know that we can hold docs these ways:
1. Documentation which are assigned with roadmaps. These docs are connected with different phases of implementation or other projects.
2. Documentation which are assigned with business-processes in transaction SOLAR01- Business blueprint. I like this way, but the problem is that we should describe all process for which we want to hold docs.
Is there any possibility for storage like some kind of place where we can store docs and can easily find this documentation with help of key words for example...
If anybody know any other way I will be very appreciate...
Thanks

Olga-
Yes it is possible to report on and search for documentation by keyword. You will still need to maintain a structure in the Blueprint Transaction in order to take advantage of the functionality. Here are the steps.
1.) Maintain Keywords
In the Project Administration Transaction (SOLAR_PROJECT_ADMIN) you would select the Project Standards tab and the Keywords subtab. When you press the Project Template button on the bottom of the screen you can maintain your desired keywords and then use the black arrows to move them in or out of the Project Keywords "queue". After saving, you would use the black arrows again to move the newly created keyword into the Project Keywords queue (again). Flag the Documents radio button and Save.
2.) Assign Keywords to Documents Loaded against nodes in the Business Process Structure
In the structure that you created in SOLAR01, highlight the node to which the document is loaded against and choose either the General or Project Documentation Tab on the right hand side of the screen (depending on which tab you loaded the document to).
Highlight the document and click the Attribute button
In the Keywords box select from the drop down one or several Key Words that you maintained in step 1.
Save.
3.) Find documentation with help of key words
From the menu bar select Environment --> Project Analysis --> Assignments --> Documentation.
In the Document Keywords box, select 1 or more Keywords to search on.
Execute.
When your search results appear you can double click on the Document to be taken to where the document is loaded in the structure.
Hope this helps.

View the document in Solution Manager

I am told that there is an option in Solution Manager to have the document generate a link that can be emailed to the approver. This allows the approver to view the document in SM without actually having access to SM. The approver can then reply back to the e-mail with his/her approval after viewing document.
I am new the SM any detailed input with how to steps would really help..
thanks in advance.

Hi B_J,
it is correct, each document has attributes, on the attribute tab in the button bar, there is an icon to generate an url for the selected document. This link is stored in your windows clipboard, so you can past this link in an e-mail or wordfile. The person who gets the e-mail must have access to the Solution Manager via network, he needs no personal user in the system. The link used a service of Solution Manager(check in the Solution Manager IMG at the HTTP services). This service requires a user to read the document. If you have no user, then it is necessary that in the system a default user is assigned to the service or to its alias. Now to your second use case, the approval, you can not bring any information INTO Solution Manager, you can only answer the e-mail, with the info, yes the document is OK, but you can not set a status or an other attribute at the document, that the document is approved.
Regards,
uDo
