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.
Ashutosh

Mutsaddi,
  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.

  • 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?
    Thx

    Hi 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

  • Integration of Job Request and Job Documentation in Solution Manager 7.1

    Hi all,
    In Solution Manager 7.1, after creation of Job Request, when i try to click on CRM Document number of the respective Job Request, it asks me to Select Business Role instead of guiding it to the screen of the incident management wherein Job Documentation is to be created from Job Request.
    Kindly assist

    Hi Vivek,
    I have SAP_ALL with my user id and have also given role "SAP_SM_CRM_UIU_SOLMANPRO" and selected "SOLMANPRO" as well , but in the resultant incident it does not have the tab of Job Scheduling Management from which we can create job document for the requisite job request

  • 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".
    Regards
    Manuel.

  • 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,,

  • 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.

    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.
