System role change in Sol Man

Dear friends,
I am working with Solution Manger 4.0. In Solar01, in top menu option, under "Business Blueprint", we are having option to change the "System role".
I wants to restrict this option based on the user ID. Because, now everybody logins to different systems (means DEV,QA,PRD) by changing the system role.
How to restrict this option?
Thanks
Senthil

Hello Sentil,
The functionality you are looking for is not available.
However, you may consider the following to achieve a similar result:
In SOLAR_PROJECT_ADMIN of the respective project, tab System Landscape, sub tab Systems there is a button calls System Landscape Assignment via which you can project specifically hide certain system roles. So for instance if during business blueprinting you only need the evaluation and development systems, you can hide the system roles which are not required at that point of time, such as QA and PRD. The result: Project team members working on SOLAR01 and SOLAR02 for instance can only see the roles which have been defined in SOLAR_PROJECT_ADMIN.
At a later project stage you can then add QA and PRD if required simply by adding the respective system roles again. The information on system-clients assigned is simply retrieved from the system landscape maintenance (SMSY transaction), where this information still resides.
So this might be an alternative to your suggestion (system roles based on user ID) because in this way you have control of offering system roles and, thus, the respective systems project-phase-dependently.
Best regards,
Doreen

Connecting satellite system through Sol Man

Dear friends,
I am working on Sol Man 4.0 SP 12.
I have properly set the T-RFC roles to users in both satellite system as well as in Sol Man system.
Now i want to execute the transaction MM01 (creation of material master) from Sol Man. If i execute the transaction, i am getting the message that
"The new session will be created in SD1 system".
The SD1 system is my R/3 dev system. But the new session is not at all getting displayed.
I could not find the reason. If there is a problem in RFC, system will clearly tell the message.
Could anyone suggest me reason for this kind of system behaviour?
Regards
Senthil

Dear Senthil,
Have you defined any user for the RFC's specially the Trusted RFC ? If yes is it an Dialog user or an communication user ?
Also does the userid in Satellite system have the authorization to execute MM01 ?

CHARM - diff between packages in file system vs sol man

Hi Experts,
We use CHARM to transport our Portal packages (e.g. EPA, KMC packages). My understanding is that these packages can be downloaded from the file system or through STMS in Solution manager. However, we noticed that for the same transport requests, it contains different packages in file system than in solution manager, which is perplexing. E.g. PD3K90009X has 1 EPA file in Solution manager while we see 3 different EPA files in file system. 1 of the EPA file matches the 1 seen in solution manager, the other 2 we found, belong to other transport requests. Any idea why for the same transport, it would contain different packages in the file system than solution manager?
Thanks,
ZM

The problem was resolved and it was largely due to missing prerequisites although the system met the required SPS17 requirement. The lesson learned here is that for newly built Sol Man 700 systems, it's best to do the basic configurations to get Maintenance Optimizer going so it can be used to select and download EHP1 packages. The traditional SMP SWDC packages selector via identification of source and target releases didn't give the complete prerequisite packages for EHP1 SAINT import.

Sol Man HP QC Integration -Install TAO Client

Hi Team,
I am having the requirement to integrate SAP Sol Man with HP QC. In the process, it has been mentioned that, "Install TAO Agents in the SAP Backend systems".
What is TAO clinet? Why this is to be installed?
Backend system means , all the satellite systems which have been conneted with sol Man?
Thanks in advance
Kumar

Hi Kumar,
What is TAO clinet? Why this is to be installed?
This is just another type of application. The SAP Test Acceleration and Optimization application supports customers in automating their business process tests by automatically generating draft test cases and test components. Its tight integration with SAP Solution Manager helps in identifying the impacted test cases and components when there are changes in the landscape. The SAP Test Acceleration and Optimization application creates modular test cases, which are easy to maintain, when the test cases are damaged due to functional changes.
The SAP Test Acceleration and Optimization application supports customers in automating their business process tests by automatically generating draft test cases and test components for SAP GUIu2013based transactions. Using this application in combination with the SAP Quality Center application by HP, you can modify, compose and execute automated business process tests in SAP software development and test systems. The SAP Test Acceleration and Optimization application also provides a lot of reusable library components, which could be used for test composition.
Backend system means , all the satellite systems which have been conneted with sol Man?
It might be all the systems or the system through which you want to perform, or the systems that you want to test the Business Processes
For more details please check these SAP Notes.
Note: 1391728 SAP TAO 2.0 Release and Upgrade Information.
Note: 1404715 SAP TAO 2 Installation Information.
SAP TAO Agent will be available with the SAP Solution Tools Plug-In ST-PI which has to be implemented on all the managed systems that we are planning to connect to the SolMan and SAP TAO systems.There is a compatibility matrix which you can find in the Note: 1404715.
Also you can find some materials and demos under http://service.sap.com/testing Test Management and Media Library.
Hope this is helpful.
Thanks & Best Regards,
Raghavendra.

Generation of Configuration document through Sol Man

Dear Friends,
We are using Solution Manager for our R/3 implementation. In realization phase, we are capturing all transports in BC sets through Sol Man. Via Sol Man, i am executing t.code SCPR3 (Maintain BC set), after capturing all the confugurations in BC set, i am maintaining configuration related details in the same BC set, as below.
In SCPR3 t.code, in top menu,
Edit-----Add documentation.
Here i am maintaining all configuration related details. And saving as "Raw version".
The same way, for all the BC sets, i am maintaing the configuration related details within the same BC set itself.
My client requirement is:
1. Now i am calling all the BC set in Sol Man (t.code SOLAR02, "Configuration" tab, under "type" coloum, i am selecting, "BC set".
2. Now, if i generate "Configuration Guide", the system has to automatically pick the the configuration details, what i have maintained in the BC set (as Add documentation).
How to do this?
regards
Senthil

Dear Friends,
In SCPR3 t.code, in top menu,
Edit-----Add documentation. can we make this "Add documentation" to be mandatory? So without entering the details, one should not possible to SAVE the BC set.
Can we make any settings for this?
Thanks

Problem in moving project from Old Sol Man 3.1 to New Sol Man 4.0

Hi All,
I am trying to move a project from solution manager 3.1 version to a new solution manager 4.0 version. I followed the below steps:
1.Slected and transported the project using solar_project_admin tcode and created the transort requests in the old sol man version 3.1.
2.Copied the cofile and datafiles from old sol man and kept in trans directory of new Sol man 4.0 version at OS level.
3.Imported the requests into the new Sol Manager 4.0 successfully
4.When I tried to open the imported project it told me to run the "solman_log_comp_mgr program" to convert the project to the central logical components. I just did it and it went well.
I can see the project and do see the document types but no document names and getting all sorts of error messages when I tried to open these documents. Also I dont see the logical components under system landscape.
Before importing, I just have configured servers/hosts, databses and all the components of system landscapes in the new solution manager.
I request you to help me solve this issue. I also would like to know whether i followed proper procedures that i listed above? If not please suggest what procedures I should have follwed.
Thanks in advance.
Aravind Serikar

Hi Aravind,
to transport a project from 3.1 to 4.0 I would not use SOLAR_PROJECT_ADMIN to "migrate" a project. There for we developed SOLAR_MIGRATION there you can transport system landscape info, also you can transport projects. You should only transport system landscape info if in 4.0 SMSY is EMPTY. To transport projects you have only to specify your project and define a local folder. In this folder we store a few important information. Then all information will be collected in a batch job and automatically exported. Then you have to copy the data file and the cofile into the new trans folder. BUT do NOT forget the i-file. In the folder cofiles you will find a i-file, because we export knowledge warehouse content. This file is important, if you forget it you will get a return code 8. You do NOT have to add the files in the import buffer, we will do this automatically. To import the project, you have to call SOLAR_MIGRATION in SolMan 4.0 there you have to select import, then specify the folder with the few important information. We upload the info and start the import. That is it

This is how you need to check.
1. In the Enterprise Manager, select the server and then choose Action ® Properties.
The SQL Server Properties dialog box opens.
2. Select the Security tab.

Sol Man 4.0 and Reporting out to BW

We have upgraded to Sol Man 4.0 and need to report the Change Request info, Change Document info and Transports log using an external BW box. In researching this forum, I have learned that we can export data out by activating the CRM business content. I need more guidance as to what DataSources to use. So far we have activated and found data in 0CRM_SRV_PROCESS_H and 0CRM_SALES_ACT_1, but I am missing information such as Change Advisory Board, Subject, External Reference, Decision Date, and Implementation date to name a few. Can anyone help? Is this documented ANYWHERE?? Thank you.

How do I access CProjects in Sol Man

Hi all
I've been looking through the SAP Project management tools and have started familiarising myself with SOLAR01 / 02, RMMAIN, etc but have found through digging in Google that SAP has another set of project management tools called CProjects. (By all accounts you can do Gantt charts, resource scheduling and all that Jazz?)
I think it is installed in our Sol Man solution as I can give my user the Auths required for access to CProjects inc SAP_CPR_PROJECT_ADMINISTRATOR etc.
However I cannot yet find out how to access the CProject menu's etc (if they exist as such). Can you give me some help here as to what these menu items are and how do I confirm that CProjects is actually fully installed.
Also are there any other SAP PM Tools my system should contain?
Thanks

Hi Mapp,
The features of Solman and cProjects complement each other to provide a complete toolset for effective project management.Solman project can be extended to cProjects to manage project phases and tasks.
To access cProjects via Solman, navigate to Environment -> Project IMG -> Select 'Logical Component' cProjects Suite or use transaction SOLAR02 and navigate to Solutions/Applications -> mySAP PLM -> Configuration Structures -> SAP cProject Suite 4.5 -> Basic Settings for cProjects.
Hope this helps.

Advice needed: what does your company log for SAP security role changes?

My client has a situation where for many years, they never logged changes to SAP security roles. By that I mean, they never logged even basic details, like who requested a change, tested it, approved it, and what changed!! Sadly their ticketing system is terrible, completely free-form text and not even searchable.
Does anyone here use Word docs, Excel sheets, or some other way to capture security role change details? What details do you capture? What about Projects, that involve dozens of changes and testing over several months?
I plan to recommend, at least, they need to use a unique# (a ticket#, or whatever) for every change and update the same in PFCG role desc tab, plus in CTS description of transports... but what about other details, since they have a bad ticketing system? I spoke with internal audit and change Mgmnt "manager" about it, and they are clueless and will not make recommendations. It's really weird but they will get into big trouble eventually without any logs for security changes!

Does anyone here use Word docs, Excel sheets, or some other way to capture security role change details? What details do you capture? What about Projects, that involve dozens of changes and testing over several months?
I have questions:
a) Do you want to make things straight
b) Do you want to implement a versioning mechanism
c) You cannot implement anything technical, but you`re asking about best "paper" practise?
The mentioned scenarios can be well maintained if you use SAP GRC Solutions 10 (Business Role Management)
Task Based, Approvals, Risk Analysis, SOD and role generation and maintenance in a structured way (Business Role Management). Workflow based, staged process with approvals.
PFCG transaction usage will be curtailed to minimum if implemented fully.
Do we really want to do things "outside" PFCG?
@all:
a) do you guys use custom approval workflows for roles?
b) how tight your processes are? how much paperwork, workflow, tickets, requests and incidents you have to go through to change a role?
c) who is a friend of GRC here, raise your hand

p.s.: very interesting discussion, I would like to learn something here about how it works out there in the wild

Connecting SLD to Sol Man 4.0

Hi all,
I am trying to push my sld data to Sol Man 4.0. I have set up smsy_setup and ran sldcheck and set up sldapicust and everything seems o.k. but when I try to execute the job to pull data (SMSY_SETUP) and I review the update log I see a message stating "the sld server is inactive" and I am not sure why. I can log into sld and it's up an running so I don't know where to turn next.
One thing I do get is when I run sldcheck there is a message saying "No business systems found"?
Thanks,
Rodney Miller

Hi Rodney,
is the SLD brigde also running?
Go into SLD -> Administration -> Data Supplier Bridge, set update local SLD to true and start the bridge.
Business systems are only needed for XI, but not for what Solman is using.

Sol Man Test Plan protection

Dear All,
I am workig with Sol Man 4.0. I have created the test plan in STWB_2.
Now in "Attributes" option, in top menu , under "Test Plan" option, i am protecting the test plan.
Now, i want control, except me, no one should able to "Remove protection".
How to control this?
Which authorization object controls this?
I have given only "DISPLAY" authorization for test plan. But still the user can do "remove the protection"
Please help me on this?
Thanks
Kumar

Hi Senthil,
Your question is a valid one, but I am not sure how many may have explored these nuanced requirements so far, in their projects.
So, if you have a Sandbox SolMan environment you can perhaps try to enact the following and if it works you can try in the productive environment.
I am not sure if there exists a separate authorisation to prevent deletion, but there does seem to exist a functionality that prevents 'display' to users unless the document belongs to certain 'status' that you predefine.
Authorization for the activity READ(33) in the authorization object S_IWB, is checked if the role SAP_SOL_RE_COMP is used.
From SAP help in SPRO, please read more on the section:
SAP Solution Manager Implementation Guide -> SAP Solution Manager -> Configuration -> Scenario-Specific Settings -> Cross-Scenario Settings -> Status for documents
You may also want to explore:
SAP Solution Manager Implementation Guide -> SAP Solution Manager -> Configuration -> Scenario-Specific Settings -> Cross-Scenario Settings -> Document Management -> Authorizations.
I could not interpret the latter for a practical use. It needs more time being spent.
If you are ever able to crack this, please let me know at [email protected]
Thanks and regards,
Srini

How to check whether my sol man installation is on sol man 7.0 or?

Hellol All,
Can anyone help me How to check whether my sol man installation is on sol man 7.0 or sol man 7.0 EHP1.
Thank you,
Srihari

Hi,
Your system status should tell you that. Any logged in screen of your solution manager system --> Status. Component Version should be as "SAP EHP 1 for SAP Solution Manager 7.0" to be Ehp1 or "SAP Solution Manager 7.0"
Hope this answers your question.

R/3 implementation through Sol Man

Dear friends,
We are doing R/3 implementation through Sol Man 4.0.
We have created the project in Sol Man. For all the consultants the direct access to R/3 Dev is blocked. They have to go to R/3 Dev via sol man only.
In SOLAR02 t.code, under configuration tab, we are requesting the consultants to capture the configurations under the type "IMG Object" & by giving the proper logical component, it is taking to R/3 Dev client. Then the consultants choosing the relevant IMG nodes. The same IMG nodes are getting saved in Sol Man with IMG object.
Now for example, for define order type dependent parameters, the system is capturing the IMG Object "PPPI_PO_212" .
But the consultants know very well the relavent t.code for doing the above same configuration is OPL8.
Like above, by knowing the IMG Object, can we find the t.code relevant for that IMG object?
Regards
Senthil

Hello!
In your Dev client,
Come to Display IMG screen thro' SPRO
From the menu choose,
Additional information>Additional information>Display key>IMG activity
Now the additional information column will give you the IMG object name followed by the transaction. Usually the last three/four characters.
Hope this helps.
