Template projects records

Hi everyone,
How I can not select project records where Status is "Template"? I'm using p6ws service to retrieve Projects and using following Filter Status IN ('Active', 'What-If', etc...) Except 'Template'. But still in result I have records with 'Template' status.
I looked through available fields of ProjectService, but could not field which helps me.
Best regards,
Dmitrij

Hi Sachin Gupta,
No, this not helped me. I'm tried to set this filter before reading all Projects, but no effect.
Probably there is some undocumented field.
Best regards,
Dmitrij

How to block copying incomplete template projects

In our business we work with template projects from where we copy (CJ20N) the operational projects.
It does happen that these template projects are ´in maintenance´ or are being defined... there is even a status field for that.
The problem is that a user is able to create a copy of an incomplete template (they are geographically spread - so they do not easily communicate between template builders + operational project mgrs) - the system does not prevent a user from doing so... and according to our friends at SAP, the system works as designed..
Has anyone of you experts seen this problem before, and how did you handle it to make sure that a user cannot copy from a template which is in maintenance?
Edited by: Rony Cools on Aug 13, 2009 6:34 AM

Hello,
you can enter a lower limit in the condition record:
Lower limit of the condition rate/amount
Indicates whether, during document processing, the system checks if manual changes fall short of the lower limit allowed for the corresponding condition record.
Use
When you maintain the scales in a condition record, the system checks whether the scale value falls below the lower limit.
Or you can use the flag 'conditon update'.
Condition update
Controls whether limit values are relevant for pricing.
E.g.: you can make the use of a particular condition record in the document dependent on a specified total value.
This total value can be specified in the condition record.
I hope that the information are helpful.

Is there a way to create a Cairngorm "template" Project?

Would it be possible to create a template for Cairngorm-based Flex projects, since they all have the same general architecture?:
/src
/control/events
/control/commands
/control/Controller.as
/control/Services.mxml
/model/ModelLocator.as
/valueObjects
/view
I basically want to create this folder/file structure, and then start a new project in Flex Builder using this template. I know I can simply copy and paste the structure from a random folder, but I was wondering if there is any way to do this in Flex Builder.
Thanks.

FYI, when I try "Import... > General/File System", it only imports folders with files in them (it ignores /control/events, /control/commands, /view, and /valueObjects).

Global attributes in a template project

Hello folks,
We are setting up a demo of global template functionalites in SM. In the template project we have created we need advice on how to go about with the following.
1) What do the attributes - global, local, harmonized etc.mean from a businesss perspective. The help documentation provided by SAP is not clear enough. Can someone share their practical expericence regarding this.
2) In the project structure created - on what criteria should the project/business team set the appropriate global attribute.
3) What is the effect of setting up of this global attributes - should any implementation projects created in the future has to refer the master template proj.
Probably I am asking quite a lot but the questions seem to be related .
Thank you.
^
Mark

Hi Mark,
First of all, it is advised to use this functionality only if you foresee a case of 'active' rollout based projects leveraging these templates. If, a Template Project is created merely to hold an inventory of process definitions, with future usage only as a 'possibility', you need not activate the 'Global Rollout' functionality and attend to the decision making on it at a much later date, when necessity arises. This is not something mandatory to take up right upfront, unless there is a case for it.
1) In terms of practical use in project, I have rarely come across projects which have sought to use the whole range of these attributes; I have been using SolMan since May 2004 and since those days, the usual ones I have had a need to use are at extreme ends of the spectrum - Global or Initial. All those in between vary in their nuances and normally not as much missed ! In early days (SolMan 3.1, there weren't as many varieties).
With regard to the specific ways in which these vary,
[this link|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_sm40/helpdata/en/45/5af1f3e5f81dece10000000a155369/content.htm] in SAP Online help is the best source to find how these attributes impact. Of course, you may have already seen this.
2) The Project Team should have one main consideration - whether to control the structure and content of a delivered scenario centrally or to allow some changes at local rollout level. Accordingly, set the attribute and pass on the same attributes to all layers below that node in one stroke (if the attribute is to remain the same for all contents underneath)
3) The effect is in 'changeability' or the flexibility to adapt the scenario borrowed from Template to suit local rollout/implementation needs. For instance, if the Global Template team has spent thousands of man hours in coming up with a Finance scenario that's Sarbanes-Oxley compliance or GRC proofed, with all local requirements already fed into the Template, it makes sense to define the Scenario or Process as 'Global' and expect all rollouts to make use of it exactly the same way.
If, on the other hand, there is a CRM/ SCM scenario on optimising Order fulfilment, an Asia-Pacific plant rollout may considerably differ in process steps from North American and such scenarios/ processes can be Initial or Local

How to connect Template project and Implementation project

Hi Experts,
     I would like to know how to connect Template project and Implementation project
    in Solution maneger.   Please help.
Best regards,
   Gaito

Hey Gaito,
great. Now that you have a template project, you need to create one or more templates within the project template.
Go to tab Templates (of your Templ Proj) and activate 'Global Rollout Functionnality' to be able to use the templates.
Create a new template thanks to button create. Visibility will be set to red 'private'. You ll have to set it to visible so it becomes visible from your implementation project.
You ll see when trying to do that next message 'No scenarios/configuration structures assigned to the template XXXX'. That means that in SOLAR01 you did not define a scenario that ll be used in template you re trying to create
In order to do that go to SOLAR01 for template project, select/create scenarios in tab structure and set in column template value of your template (the one you re creating in SOLAR_PROJECT_ADMIN) and in Global Attribute set value t Global
You l definitely find more info on this in sap document SMI310 (course). I don t know if you can find it on internet
Hope this helps

Records Management: Model for customer - project - records hierarchy

Hello,
starting with RM I just created a static structure for customer data. This works pretty well at the beginning level.
Now I would like to add a hierarchy to the customer data. The next level in the structure should be projects with the project that are associated with the customer. The projects are managed with PS. So every time a PSP element is created on a special level will automatically create some model nodes with elements (offer, order, .. ). Under the level of the projects there should be records like offer, order, ..
Could someone could give me some hints how to solve this, please? What is the best practice for something like that?
Is this the right forum for this question?
Thanks a lot,
Vanessa

Dear Vanessa,
Unfortunately, we have not been able to get an exclusive forum for RM hence, a post anywhere with Records Management or Case Management will be good(I generally search for questions on these keywords).
For your question - adding a new sub-structure to the same record or case everytime there is a project etc is created is technically not feasible. Even if you make this feasible by programming it will be very difficult to maintain. I would recommend to have an object(record or case) for every sub-structure that needs to be created with a separate record model for the sub-structure.
For eg - if you need to create & add a new sub-project to a main project every time for an event, then instantiate an object(record/case) & then add it to the project record.
Some points to consider - recommendation is to not to have more than 1000 objects linked to any one folder as after that time consumed to expand the folder becomes visibly high for the user.
Hope this helps...
Best Regards,
Pragya

What format to export fcdp project recorded on sony z1 for dvd studio pro

what format do I export a Final Cut Studio project recorded on sony z1 HDV for dvd studio pro. I am getting lines on the edges if I export current settings.

HD-DVD is a dead format. It may play on your mac - or an HD-DVD set top player, if you happen to have one - but nowhere else. If you just want playback on your mac, compress to h.264 with your current frame size. If you want a DVD it will have to be SD and Mpeg-2 as Shawn already explained.

Template project in SAP PS

hi all,
what is template project and how to create it?
waiting for reply from forum friends,
regards
dipankar

To create template projects go to CJ91 transaction & CN01 to create std networks and activities.
A template project is one which has all the possible WBS element and activity scenarios listed. The advantage is that when one creates a brand new project, he/she can copy it from the template instead of working one up from scratch. The template will be created incorporating the standard practices of the organisation.

How to compare between two versions of template project???

Dear All,
We are doing some cleanup activity in our solution manager system. For this actually we have created the replica of this project from production system to a sandbox system. We can do the cleanup of this project and can transport this new project to our production system and can move on.
But the pbm we are facing now is, how do we bring in the data captured or added to the production system after we have copied it to the sandbox system?
Can anybody throw in some light into this issue?
We tried the option of creating different version for the template and using the sa_project_upgrade transaction to compare between two versions of the template using "Current Version in Project" option. Not sure whether this will work out.
{{We thought that if we try in this way, we can find the difference between the two versions of the template project, and from there, might be we can bring in the new changes into our new project manually. We do agree that this is not the right approach.}}
But the end result we got was like we got the information regarding where all there is the difference between the current version in the template project to that of the original(in our case it checked against BPR as we selected the scenarios from BPR for this template). But what we expected was a difference between two versions of the template.
Pls help. Pls make a try to help. Any thoughts in this direction will help us to move forward.
Any info will be suitably rewarded.
best regards,
Krishna.

Hi Andreas,
Thanks a lot for your immediate reply.
I too had that doubt that my appraoch will not work. But wanted to get confirmation that it will not work. Also wanted to know about any other approach. Thank you for providing me with some alternative approach.
I tried the option suggested by you. But while running the comparison report for the newly copied project with the option "New Version of Original", I am getting the below error. I do agree that this approach should work. But for some reason I am getting the below error. Can you pls look into the same and help me out.
Internal error

Template project reference in Implementation Project

Hi,
I have defined Template Project & created Business Blueprint hierarchy for the same.
Now I need to refer the Template Project in Implementation Project.
1) How to refer Template Project in Implementaion Project ?
2) Can I get the Template Project reference in Implementation Project automatically in Scope OR do I need to do some settings ? Currently I am not able to see the Template Project in Scope.
Regards
P Kumar

Hi Kumar,
Refer below links. Should be useful and also I am assuming that you have created master template and you want to refer master in local implementation project.

Master template should be visible in local implementation project under scope automatically.

hi,
I have defined the Template project in Solar_project_admin. Now how I can use this template project in Implementation project.
What are the steps of copying the template project into implemenation project.

Hi Aditya,
Many Thanks. I am new to this feature ( Template project & roll out). My requirement is like, I need to define one template project & same has to be rolled out in other contries implementation projects. This is in a broder sense.
Now what are the steps to go about. How to proceed.
Will there be only one Solution Manager or different countries will have sepearte Solman. Will one Solman will do all rollouts.
Can you give me some useful stuff as a biginner, how the project management is used ( especially Template project & roll out )

Adjust changes in Implementation Project back to Template Project

Hello All,
Please can you help with transaction SA_PROJECT_UPGRADE, the case is as follow:
STEP 1
- Template project is created including process structure and documents, template is activated
- Implementation project: is created derived from template project.
- In Template project: Change in pocess node made: added an new process node
- Run SA_PROJECT_UPGRADE with checked box "New Version of Original" and chosen project: Implementation project
- Implementation project: the yellow boxes appears on the appropriate place and button "adjust to original" is used.
So far, so good
STEP 2
- Implementation project: a new process node is added, project is saved
- Run SA_PROJECT_UPGRADE with checked box "'Current Version in Project" and chosen project: Implementation project
- Template project: no changes are visible in SOLAR01 or SOLAR02
- In SOLAR01: settings -> User specific -> box checked "Dislay changes made in project"
So far, NOT good.
Resume:
- using transaction SA_PROJECT_UPGRADE from Template -> Implementation Project works according documentation
- using transaction SA_PROJECT_UPGRADE from Implementation Project -> Templates does not work according documentation
Does anybody recognise this?
Or do I oversee something?
System: SSM 4.0 updated to SP13
Thanks in advance
Rutger Koppelaar

Hi Rutger (& all others watching this thread),
I would like to make certain corrections to one of the points posted by me:
2) Within a Template Project, any actual changes to the document does not offer itself as a 'change' while doing comparison on Implementation Project. In other words, after a given Scenario and all its associated documentation are copied into an Implementation project, if a given document at a given node needs to be edited, it's better to create a new document and upload it in Template Project than to open & change the same document. If the same document is edited, the Compare and Adjust cannot see that as 'difference'.
On the above point, I have now see better/different results with my recent work; not sure if this is version/ support package specific.
Environment:
SolMan 4.0
SAP_BASIS - Release 700 Level 0013
SAP_ABA - Release 700 Level 0013
ST - Release 400 Level 0014
Assumption: Both the Template and Implementation Projects are in the same SolMan instance and not a case where the Template is being transported into another instance!
Findings (please bear with this verbose description; one day I intend creating a Blog instead, to list all these points):
(1) In General Documentation Tab of Template Project, any changes made is instantly visible in General Documentation Tab of the Implementation project - not even dependent on running SA_PROJECT_UPGRADE transaction
If you indeed run this transaction - in foreground or background, and later check the Implementation Project, it would not highlight that node as having undergone any change. However, if you double click the document itself, you'd be pleasantly surprosed that it opens the most updated version you maintained in the Template Project. No need for 'Compare and Adjust'.
(2) In Test Cases Tab - any change you make to Test Document in Template Project is again instantly available for the Implementation Project that had inherited the document, provided no manual changes were done to that document in the Implementaiton Project directly. Again, no need to run SA_PROJECT_UPGRADE transaction or the subsequent 'Compare and Adjust' function
2a) If, however, the Test Document was altered in Implementation Project subsequently, the chain gets broken (in my understanding so far), and any subsequent changes made in Template Project does not become 'instantly' visible in Implementation Project - the two behave as though they are different documents
In such a case, if you desire to 'restore' the supremacy of Template Project's contents, run SA_PROJECT_UPGRADE transaction, and after the background job finishes, visit Implementation Project concerned. The node where the Documents differ is not highlighted (unfortunately). However, if you are aware of that node, and hit 'Compare and Adjust' button the ensuing Window does tell you with a # sign on the right hand panel that the Document has indeed changed in the original. You can 'adjust' that and save.
Once this is done, and also you vow to not change the document in Implementation Project directly, the link between the two is kind of re-established. Any subsequent alterations you make in the Test Case at Template Project would be instantly visible from Implementation Project, as before !
I have tried to explain precisely what I experiemented and found. I hope this works consistently
The ways in which Document linkages are established and pointers to KW object IDs work is rather inscrutable for me, without ABAP support.
I'll update any further findings here.
Please keep a watch.
Thanks and regards,
Srini

Configuration steps not copied from Template project

Hi All,
We are creating a project using an existing template project (our own defined). The business processes are copied but the configuration steps and documentation in configuration does not come in the new project (SOLAR02).
Could any one help.

Goto solar01 transaction here first choose the business scenario of ur template project which you have added in the structure tab on the right side you have something known as attribute column
Here choose the appropriate one for you
Global
A process is global when it is integrated throughout the enterprise, that is, it is cross-functional or cross-organizational. An element that is flagged as global cannot be changed in a Local Rollout, i.e. the structure element and all associated business content is pre-determined.
Standard Complete
A process is standardized if it must be executed in the same way in the entire enterprise (in all relevant organizational units). A standardized complete element (and its business content) can be seen as a proposition from the Global Template that should be used as delivered. However the local team may extend the structure element with additional substructures and with additional business content.
Standard Partial
A process is standardized if it must be executed in the same way in the entire enterprise (in all relevant organizational units). A standardized partial element (and its business content) can be seen as a proposition from the Global Template that should be used as delivered, but the process consist of sub-processes that are locally regulated by legal requirement and these need to be defined on a local level. The local team can design own process if agreed by the parent company. Therefore the local team may extend the structure element with additional substructures and with additional business content. Template business content may even be changed or deleted by the local team. Whenever a template object is deleted there is a warning message.
Harmonized
These Business Process, Master Data, Organizational Units will be standardized in the future. It is recommended that the Local Rollout uses the harmonized structure elements. A process is harmonized if it is recommended to execute the process in a specific way. Harmonization is a first step towards standardization, but without mandatory elements. One reason can be for organizational readiness or many legal requirements preventing standardization. For the local teaam the same activities are allowed/forbidden as for Standard Partial.
Local
A process is local if it is not possible or it makes no sense to define it as global, standardized, or harmonized. Local units must design this process for their needs. These processes are necessary for obtaining an executable system for testing. For the local teaam the same activities are allowed/forbidden as for Standard Partial.
Note You can use the pass tab available next to +/- button which is used to pass this attribute which you have assign to the lower levels.
Hope you got what you are looking for

How to map business scenarios from implementation project to template project

Hi
We have a template project and in this we have maintained few business scenarios. And also some specific scenarions are configured in the implementation project. Now we need to make template project as Global Template and for this we need map all existing scenarios in implementation project to template project.
Please suggest how we can map from implementation project to template project.
Thank you

Hello,
Along with Sandeep recommendation, you can do it by several ways.It all depends on how are the current projects organized.
Did you create the template project and then rolled out the templates to the impl. project?
In case you want to update these scenarios in the Template project based on the changes you performed in te Impl. Project, you can use the Compare & Adjust functionality.
You can Copy Scenarios from one project into another by using the right click/context menu directly in the node in solar01.
If you just want to copy the structure, you could export the Impl. project structure in solar_project_admin by using the "fill business blueprint" functionality, then adjust the structure similarly for the template project and upload.
and so on..

Fabricius

Watch Folder to Overwrite Sequence Files? – Templated Project with Custom Images

So I want users to be able to upload an image to my server, have it added to a video, and rendered out and served to them. Simple right? Maybe my workflow needs adjustment:
I have a project saved with an image sequence render queued, and a subsequent movie file render (of the image sequence) queued and collected. (the image sequence is to utilize multi-machine rendering because of intense effects, etc.) When a user uploads an image, the server duplicates this template-project collected folder. The project has a placeholder image that is replaced by the user's uploaded image (into the footage folder). The server then drops it all in a watch folder for multi-machine rendering. The sequence renders and the movie renders just fine! All good.
The only PROBLEM is that when the second instance comes along, "skip existing files" is checked (by necessity to use the multi-machine function) and therefore just keeps the existing image sequence without overwriting. Every instance of the project is just a duplicate, and so has the same target path for the image sequence. So the subsequent movie file comes out the same as the first.
So how can I either:
1) force overwriting the image sequence
2) automate unique directories for each image sequence render – without physically opening the project to specify a different target path
-or- 3) move/delete the image sequence folder AFTER movie render, but BEFORE another watch folder render (considering multiple queued projects in the watch folder at once).
An ideas?? Thanks!!!

> So is there a way to automate importing the image sequence through aerender and tell it to render a movie?
Are you familiar with post-render actions? They exist to do this kind of thing.
Here's a relevant excerpt from After Effects Help:
http://helpx.adobe.com/after-effects/using/basics-rendering-exporting.html#post_render_act ions
"Use the Import & Replace Usage option to create a chain of dependent render items. For example, you can set one render item to use a watch folder and multiple computers to create a still-image sequence, and then the next render item can render a single movie file from that still-image sequence"
