Answer 1

Hi Raju,
Normally SolMan Tcodes that will be used by the end-users is like
Solar01 - functional consultants use to create blueprint structure
Solar02 - functional consultants use to do configurations in the satellite systems Stwb_work - Test Managers use to create test plans & packages and to assign to testers
Stwb_2 - testers to perform testing
notif_create - the message creator can create the service desk message from the solman system
Even though the above are used by different end users, SolMan consultant should be familiar with these transactions to help the end users in using them effectively.
(ii) Normally all administrative configurations of the SolMan system need to be done from SolMan's SPRO
(iii) Apart from that setting up the system landscape can be done by BASIS consultants using SMSY transaction
(iv) Creating the project and landscape for the project can be done using SOLAR_PROJECT_ADMIN transaction
(v) Lot of BASIS related activities like monitoring, EWA, etc can be done using SOLUTION_OPERATION transaction
(vi) SOLAR_EVAL transaction helps in generating lot of reports.
(vii) In the RMMAIN transaction you can get lot of accelerators(templates for various project deliverables).
(vi) These are basic transactions. Apart from that for Service Desk Management, Change Request Management and all we have certain other transactions and activities.
best regds,
