Solution Manager Project Authorization

Dear Friends,
I have come across one authorization object namely "S_PROJ_AUTH.
What is the importance of this object?
In that object, field name, PROJAUTH, system asking me to enter project number. But i know only project name. From where i can the project number for my project name?
Even i can input only 3 digit value in "Project number" field.
Plz guide me
Thnaks
Senthil

Hi Ragu,
Sorry..plz refer the following auth object:S_PRO_AUTH (New authorizations for projects) & field:PROJAUTH(Project number).
In Field "PROJAUTH"---I need to enter 3 digit project number. But i could not find project number for my projects. Even i am not possible to enter my name of the project, since system permits upto 3 digits.
Thanks

Solution Manager Project

When creating a project in Solution Manager (solar_project_admin) I am receiving an error when creating the IMG View for the remote system. The message states that I am not authorized to display the project even though I have SAP_ALL and SAP_NEW authorizations in both systems. When reading the extended help for the error (SPROJECT322) it states that I need the value 03 for the field ACTVT in the authorization object S_PROJECT, but I have confirmed that this is already set.
It begins the process of creating the IMG in the remote system but does not complete the link back to the Solution Manager project.
Are there any other reasons why this type of behavior might occur?

Prince Jose
Thank you for your suggestion, but let me provide you with a little more information to see if this is still the correct action to take.
I currently have SAP_ALL and SAP_NEW authorizations in Solution Manager along with many different role assignments. In the satellite systems I have the IMG_CUS_ADMIN role for managing the projects when they are published to those systems.
In my most recent work I created a project in Solution Manager using 4 different logical components (BI, ECC, SCM, and SRM) for the systems that this project would interact with. With my current Solution Manager security and authorizations I was able to create the IMG view from Solution Manager to the BI, SCM, and SRM systems, but received my error message described above for the ECC system.
Based on that do you think I would still look at my security in the Solution Manager system, or a configuration in the satellite system?

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

Migrating Solution Manager Project ?

Hello .. has anyone had success in migrating a Solution Manager project from one server to another ? If so, can you share the details. I am aware it can be done via template, but havent tried as of yet...
weinux

My worry is not migration process.
That´s why you must have a certified migration consultant on-site to do the migration. If you do it on your own and you have problems after the migration you will loose support.
But after migration will solution manager configuration remain intact?
Yes - it will be identical.
Will configuration done in SOLMAN before migration, affect due to migration.Any pros and cons?
No - apart from a different OS and database configuration that must be taken care of during the migration.
Also Can you please suggest rough ( approx ) estimate for migration? Solution manager version 7.0 , Solaris 5.9 , oracle 10g.
It´s impossible to tell that.
It depends on lots of factors (processor number/speed, speed of I/O subsystem, database configuration...). A migration is usually done three times at least to get the optimal number of R3load processes and database configuration during the migration process.

Exporting a Solution Manager project

Hello Solman experts,
My prof. wants to know if it is possible to export a solution manager project to another Solution Manager. So experts, how to do an export of an project an how to import it in another one? If there is no possibilty please tell me also!!
Thank you for answering!

Hi Simon,
It is true that the transport is easy if the connection for transport between the systems is created correctly.
But the consequences are delicate.
E.g. a project that is assigned to a released transport request cannot be deleted.
And there are difficulties to change the projects in both systems back to be local. Any change to the origin project needs authority to add the change to the transport if the project is not defined to be local ($TMP in transport tab).
To avoid this problem you can copy the project first by the transaction SOLAR_PROJECT_ADMIN and then transport the copy.
Another point of view is: If the origin project was defined to be local ($TMP in transport tab) some assigned objects may got lost (e.g. links, assigned users, testers). On the other hand: if you define the transport request first before creating objects to the project you enhance effort for maintaining the project. Because any change has to be added to the transport request. And the users need the authorities to do so.
I hope this additional information helps you too.
Best regards,
Adelbert

Linking solution manager projects with CHARM implementation project

Hi Guys,
Currently i am working in CHARM implementation project, i have created one CHARM implementation project with urgent correction and i am able to create the Transport request and release the transport request succesfully and i am able to move it to quality system successfully. But my customer is asking to link the solution manager project to CHARM implementation project.
Earlier before implementing CHARM they have implemented project managent in solution manager, during that project they have created so many projects which are currently running, now they want those projects to be linked CHARM implementation project.
When ever they create a transport request through CHARM they want the TP to be saved under a respective project which they are using currently. but according to my knowledge the TP can be saved under CHARM implementation project only.
Now i want to know whether the projects created in SOLAR_PROJECT_ADMIN can be linked to CHARM implementation project. Pls give ur valuable inputs as it is very urgent.
Thanks&Regards
Raju

Hello,
We have implemented this with two systems landscape where in we have in place a Solution Manager Dev system and Solution manager Production system both are SOLMAN 4.0 with SP12. So the path for us to move the changes is from Development Systems to Production system.
We have ChaRM between the Dev and production. We reapplied the satellite system concept. For us the Solution manager Prod is a satellite systems all the changes that we move from Development system to Production systems is tracked with necessary documentation in the ChaRM process.
Yes, I agree with you that this is not any big magic. Working with two SOLMAN implementation, I strongly feel that SAP needs to have well rounded ChaRm processes. We have robust Change Management Process, but when we moved to ChaRM we were limited functionality of the ChaRM processes.
I had approached and did some research on how other companies are implementing the same process. Most of them have almost the same process for tracking SOLMAN changes. I am still look out for improved process to manage SOLMA changes.
Hope this helps!!! Thanks

How to export all documents of a Solution Manager Project?

Hello,
I am currently trying to export all documents that exist inside a Solution Manager project (which documents these are, I can see via SI80 -> select project). That means, I need to export between 300 and 7000 documents from SAP to a MS Windows directory.
Is there any way to do this automatically?
My approaches so far:
1) Use the "Knowledge Workbench" tool to connect to the Knowledge Warehouse of the Solution Manager and "check out" all documents to the specific project.
Problem: The resulting local folder structure is horrifying and all documents are not named by their titles as seen in SAP, but named after the template that was used to create them. So flattening the folder structure would result in many, many name collisions.
2) Using SOLAR02 to get an overview over all documents via "Environment->Project Analysis->Assignments->Documentation", and selecting everything.
Problem: I found no download option here, only some kind of overview over all documents.
The forum threads:
[Re: download all document in SOLAR01]
[Mass download of documents from SM to PC;
didn't help either.
I would appreciate any help.
Thanks!
Edited by: Andreas Seemann on Mar 2, 2011 2:15 PM

Hello Andreas,
You might take a peak at this link
Export of SOLMAN-project
SOLAR_PROJECT_ADMIN can also copy documentation, plus there is more information on SAP Knowledge Workbench.
Using it for the first time is a bit cryptic so they recommend reading the SAP Notes 336968 , 196078 and 817529.
erhaps worth a view?

Difference between a Solution Manager project, and IMG project.

Hello,
We are in process of installing and thereby configuring scenarios for Solman 4.
While reading about it on help.sap.com, I came across following:
<b>
"<i>The Change Tracking function of Change Request Management allows you to track everything that relates to changes within the context of a Solution Manager project, or an IMG project."</i></b>
Please help me here by clarifying difference between two.
regards, Shantanu

Hi Shantanu,
Let us assume you have captured everything w.r.to an SAP Implementation project in Solution Manager and this project has gone live. Here all details relating to an SAP Project are captured in a Solution Manager Project. Solution Manager project acts as a container to hold all the details relating to the SAP Project.
Now when this SAP Project comes in the support/maintenance phase, whenever a small change needs to be done to this SAP Solution, it will be raised as a Change Request. This change request will be captured in Solution Manager (starting from the point when the request was raised from an end user as a support message, which eventually might have evolved as a Change Request). All details about this change request, its approval workflow, task control being transferred to different roles(people), movement of the request along the transport path, everything is captured and controlled in the Solution Manager Project.
So, we are clear about Solution Manager Project now.
What is an IMG Project?
For each and every component involved in this SAP project, an IMG project will be created with the same name as the Solution Manager Project in the component systems. These IMG projects in the Satellite systems are the same as the normal Project IMGs which we use in any SAP Project to hold all details relating to an SAP Project w.r.to that component.
In the context specified by you, it has been told that any changes w.r.to a Solution Manager project or an IMG project can be tracked in CHARM. It is because any change that is requested w.r.to any component(say SRM or ECC) will result in a change in the details captured in Solution Manager project about that SAP Project, and also will result in a change in the details captured in the appropriate Project IMG (say SRM or ECC).
Hope it is clear.
Dont forget to reward points for useful answers.
best regds,
Alagammai.

Solution Manager project views

Dear friends,
In Solution Manager, t.code SOLAR_PROJECT_ADMIN, i have created IMG project & Project views. Both(IMG projects & project views) are in green colour.
Both the IMG projects & project views are now available in R/3.
Under project view, i have selected some SPRO activities (for example Logistics execution i have selected ) from IMG screen & also assigned the project view to one R/3 user.
Then in SOLAR02, under configuration tab, i am giving some t.code SPRO & executing the t.code. It is taking me to R/3 but i can view the entire IMG screen instead of what i selected in project view ( I have selected only logistics execution in project view).
Now he can make configuration in all nodes rather than what he has been assigned in project view.
Then what is the importance of assigning project views for users?
Please give your input to restrict the IMG views for users.
Thanks

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,,

Solution Manager Project Title

Is anyone aware of a method to get the project name in the title of the screen when an associate runs Solution Manager? If you look at the standard screen it displays a generic title like "Maintenance Cycle M000000010" or "Implementation Project I000000054".
Is anyone aware of a way (other than modifying SAP code) to get the screen to display the project title. Yes, I realize the project name is displayed in the body of the screen. We have a request to see if there's a way to make the project title more pronounced.

Solution Manager project export / import

Hi,
is there any possibility to export the project files from Solution Manager, change some data in an other program and then import them back to solution manager? This whole import/export process should work automatically.
The entire thing is to avoid that the users have to work with the Solution Manager instead of their usual and well known programs for project management.

Hi Andreas,
Currently there is no possibility to perform this.

Solution Manager project - no roadmap available for CRM 7.0 EhP3

Hi all,
I'm setting up a new project in solution manager for an upgrade.
However, in my roadmap selection tab, there's no roadmap for CRM 7.0 EhP3 (or even EhP2).
Is this just not available or can/should I update this list?
Many thanks and with kind regards,
Yee-Tee

Hello,
There are two possibilities I see here.
1-Your roadmap list is not up-to-date.
2-There is no roadmaps for these specific product/version delivered for the solman.
I would recommend you to first check the ST-ICO package SP level. The whole documentation content (Roadmaps, BPR, templates,...) are delivered by this component, so in order to have the complete and must up-to-date list, you'll need the latest SP-level.

SAP Solution Manager - authorizations

Hello!
Is there any functionality in Solution Manager for
1. Adjust user rights per project
- example:
User1 has access in Project1 but no access to Project2 in same Solution Manager client
2. Adjust user rights per part of project structure
- example:
User1 has access in Business scenario1 of Project1 but no access to Business scenario2 of Project1
3. Adjust user rights per document belonging into project
- example:
User1 has access in Document1 of Process step1 of Project1 but no access to Document2 of Process step1 of Project1

Thanks for the tip!
What I was searching for was not in Change Request Management but more like Project Administration. It was found from the Solution Manager library help in Assign Authorization for Documents:
"You can control the access rights to documents in the project by assigning authorizations for groups of documents, e.g. you can specify that only the project management can change documentation templates. The system saves Solution Manager project documents in Knowledge Warehouse folders. Access to Knowledge Warehouse folders is controlled by the authorization object S_IWB, which is in the roles SAP_SOL_KW_ALL and SAP_SOL_KW_DIS, and in the Solution Manager Composite Rolles.
You have role (transaction PFCG) and user maintenance authorization..."
So, thanks for the guidance .

Difference between Solution manager and ASAP

Hi All,
Can anyone tell me what's the difference between SAP solution manager and ASAP?
Regards
Saroj

ASAP 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

Roles
The roles in the SAP Solution Manager are composite roles, which contain individual roles, which in turn contain authorizations for individual functions, e.g. for the Business Blueprint.
The following composite roles contain the central authorizations which they require for projects, and can be tailored to suit individual projects:
● Project leaders are responsible for organizing and planning the project, and monitoring costs and deadlines.
● Application consultants consultants are responsible for business content and the documentation of operational activities. This composite role has limited authorization and is intended for project members who need to be adjusted individually.
● Development consultants are responsible for the development of customer-specific programs and authorizations.
● Technical consultants are responsible for installing systems and providing technical support to users.
● Display user/Read only : contains SAP Solution Manager display/read only authorization.
