Time effort to implement Business Process Monitoring

hi,
if one company want to utilize Business Process Monitoring and implement it:
1). what are the Prerequisite
2). if the Prerequisite are met and we come to BPMon part how long it would take to implement one Scenario.
3). any document or links or hints for BPMon Best Practice?
Regards

Hi Volker,
This comment was part of document - Business Process Monitoring Set-up and User Guideline for Release ST 4.0 and ST-SER 700_2007_1.
3 Prerequisites for Business Process Monitoring
Business Process Monitoring is not just activated by pressing a button in the SAP Solution Manager and
therefore the configuration of Business Process Monitoring is currently not intended as a customer selfservice.
Instead, the procedure to set up Business Process Monitoring in the SAP Solution Manager is rather
realized by the delivery of the SAP Solution Management Optimization (SMO) Service for Business
Process Management due to the complex nature of the overall configuration of Business Process Monitoring.
However, it is possible (but not recommended) for customers to configure Business Process Monitoring by
themselves without any guidance of SAP.
Thanks.

Hi,
U need to ask the entries to the client
as per their requirment to be configured in FI
there are symbolic accounts to be assigned like
vendor and expenses accounts in the automatic
assignments of Travel and expenses.
here in Sap u need create vendor as an employee but
there is a link to employee, so HR consultant will post the Employee
as a vendor for normal expenses entries.
Like
1 Travel expense Dr
To employee cr
Credit card company is vendor for the company so
create Credit card company as vendor and create the credit card expenses GL account
In F-43 Create the invoice
Credit card expenses dr
to Credit Card Company cr.
Maintain the Employee details
Reconcile with the statement od Corporate Credit card Statement sent by the Vendor
and Employee expenses and make the Payment in F-53.
If Useful Reward points.

Thanks
Rasham

Hello Rasham,
Business process analysis and design is a part of implementation / upgrade project. As name suggests it will analys client's business process to make the standard process across the group of company and make it most optimized to get maximum ERP support.
Some time it will cover under blueprint phase and some time it can be carried out as a saperate process before actual start of implementation.
The following link will give you detailed information about all phases of the project including Business Process Analysis and Design.

Business Process Set up - Begineer Questtion

In our company we are planning to implement business process and monitoring in coming months. I am from the basis admin group and would like to know from the system side what need to be done to implement the Business process in SLM.
What my understanding is that Business Analysts create type of work flow using these Process to create a model of the business process . Once these work flow are created for each business process ,IT can setup alerts on these process in order to timely react to the situation if some issue occur in any flow.
This what i am looking from experienced folks who have implemented this in there company.
1. A more detailed information on this process from a Basis Admin point of view
2. What is required from System side to make SLM ready to implement Business Process
3. Any Document or guide can someone provide when they had setup the environment or point to the URL
4. Any other information which one can think of someone who is beginner to understand this concept
Thanks

Solution Directory - How to lock a business process for a implement project

We have Solution Directory assigned to a maintenance project and I understand the checkout/checkin process and how it locks the business process in the Solution. What is the best practice when you are starting a new IMPLEMENTATION project that will impact existing business processes that are in the Solution? I know that I can copy from the solution to build the new project, but it doesnu2019t lock the BP from the solution.
I have a new Implementation project, that i want to checkout/pull existing business processes for the Solution Directory.
*How can these Business Processes be "locked" in Solution Directory as they are with a Maintenance project?*

Kelly,
You would use the maintenance project to make daily modifications.
Consider the case of a O2C business scenario. You need to almost make daily configs etc, which get pushed through, such things will go into a maintenance project.
But if you plan to enhance O2C with a CRM front end or include a better planning solution or TPM or something, then you are looking at an implementation project.
Rule of thumb. Short Scale changes : Maintenance Project, Long term/major enhancements : Implementation Projects.
Also In this case to speak about the lock down. Well the Solution Directory kind of takes care of that for you.
I am assuming that you have a solution populated with business processes. So now if you want to enhance it with a new functionality, you would use an implementation project. So when you define the implementation project, and then navigate to Solar01, and try to add business scenarios , ensure that on the Structure tab you select the Solution as the source. This ensures you are copying content from your current, updated, productive solution. Once you do that, the implementation continues on its track, whilst daily support processes are managed with the check-in / check-out functionality of the Solution and the Maintenance Project.
You technically do not need to lock the business processes down, since the Compare and Adjust functionality of a solution will help you identify the deltas between the Solution and the implementation project and you can always make those adjustments post go-live and thus just update the Solution at one shot. Also remember that with SolMan 7.1 the Compare and Adjust functions can be used with Template, Implementation and Solutions in any permutation-combination.
Hope this helps.
Plz let me know if you need any additional information
Cheers!!

Implementions of Business Processes in SAP

Hi,
A business process is a series of steps that is triggered by some action and produces some outcome.
Business processes can be implemented in many ways. For example-
Using ABAP programs (Transactions)
Using a workflow, which in turn use Business Objects
1) How can we know which Business Process is implemented using which method?
For example, if we consider a purchase order being placed and it triggers a business process, how can we the way (ABAP Programs/Workflow) in the triggered business process is implemented?
2) If the business process is implemented in ABAP Programs, is it possible to reimplement it in workflow (or vice versa) with minimal effort?
3) I have a large set of questions regarding how sap business process works and I have put my thoughts in a word document. I would like some gurus to go thro it and help me. If you are willing to spend little time, please do post your email id or send an email to [email protected]
Thanks in advance.
Ananda Raja.

Greetings Anandaraja-
I'll only attempt to answer your question #1...
On a high level, I'd first start to look at SAP's Solution Maps for the different processes. Please check out:
http://www.sap.com/solutions/index.epx
Click on the business maps link. It should eventually lead you to the "Registration and Download" page for Solution Composer. --> http://www.sap.com/solutions/businessmaps/composer/index.epx
With this tool, you can discover the procurement or sales process you describe in your example.
SAP has quite a few generic enterprise solutions and 27 industry specific solutions. I'm not sure you will find a guru who knows everything SAP has to offer.
In addition you can follow this link:
<a href="https://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/developerareas/esa/esapreview">https://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/developerareas/esa/esapreview</a> found @ Solution Maps, ESA, Visual Composer, and Aris to understand how SAP is developing the new generation applications via eSOA - Enterprise Service Oriented Architecture.
It's difficult to guage what you are really looking for in your post. So I'll jump down into the application level to try to answer your message.
If you want to use the actual SAP transactions which implement PO, use transaction ME21 (or ME21N) in ERP (SAP R/3). If a system is receiving a PO, you can manually enter a Sales Order using VA01. This is specific to ERP. These Business Processes can also be managed thru our CRM, SRM, and SCM/APO products. In addition, most of these transactions can also be manipulated thru IDOC's or RFC/BAPI versus user interaction.
Hopefully this gets you pointed in the right direction.
Good Luck...

Implementing a business process with Oracle software

Hello Oracle community,
I'm new to Oracle software and would like to know which tools from Oracle I need when I want to implement a WSDL based business process. All ressources I would like to access within the scope of the process are described with WSDL and I would like to model the whole process with Oracle software.
I guess that I'll need at least the JDeveloper Suite so the post is hopefully not completely off-topic in this forum.
In particular the questions are:
- Which Oracle Tool can model a business process (and can handle WSDL)
- Which Oracle Tool can implement the technical aspect of a business process (might be the same tool)
- Which Oracle Tool (Oracle 9iAS I guess) will I need to deploy & run the finished business process
- And the last question: does Oracle support BPEL?
I need this informationen for my studies at my university. I hope that someone can point me in the right direction.

Unfortunately the recently announced BPEL (Business Process Execution Language) Designer is available as an IBM Eclipse Plugin, so yes you need to be running the Eclipse IDE to be able to use the BPEL on top of Oracle Application Server (OC4J).
A Jdeveloper plugin for BPEL I guess would be available sometime next year ?

Business process bpmn implementation with services in uddi

Dear everyone,
could anyone provide me the link to the tutorial of implemenation bpmn with service in uddi?
I don't know how can i call a service, and how i implement a service in bpmn process with jdeveloper.
many thanks in advance,
sophea

Hi Sophea,
You can use service activity to invoke the service.
For exposing the BPM process as service, you can use message start activities (Receive) and service activity (Reply) to implement synchronous pattern.
Please refer Oracle&reg; Fusion Middleware Modeling and Implementation Guide for Oracle Business Process Management 11g Release 1…
Hope it helps.

Study business process requirements in sd implementation project?

how to study business process requirements in sd implementation project?

Hi chandu,
I will suggest you first go through the document given below
SAP Implementation is the whole of processes that defines a complete method to implement SAP software in an organization. The SAP implementation method described in this entry is a generic method and not a specific implementation method as such. It is based on best practices and case studies from various literature sources and presents a collection of processes and products that make up a complete implementation method to allow any organization to plan and execute the implementation of SAP (ERP) software.
Concept Definition
CHANGE MANAGEMENT ***Activities involved in (1) defining and installing new values, attitudes, norms, and behaviors within an organization that support new ways of doing work and overcome resistance to change; (2) building consensus among customers and stakeholders on specific changes designed to better meet their needs; and (3) planning, testing, and implementing all aspects of the transition from one organizational structure or business process to another. (www.gao.gov)
CHANGE MANAGEMENT DOCUMENTATION All documentation that is required and being delivered whilst performing change management, e.g. the functional test cases and all the other documents a new end-user of SAP requires and the various tools and approaches used to manage change by the TSO. (Anderson, 2003)
COST OF OWNERSHIP ANALYSIS Determination of where and when the costs are inquired within the context of the SAP solution stack and ongoing operations. The analysis addresses all internal and external costs, both one-time as well as recurring (Anderson, 2003)
CUTOVER The process of transitioning from one system to a new one (Anderson, 2003)
CUTOVER PLAN All documentation related to planning, preparing and executing cutover, describing how to lock down the system from a technical change management perspective, preparing the TSO for its new role and rolling out the SAP graphical user interface to all future end users. (Anderson, 2003)
DATA CENTER A data center is a facility used for housing a large amount of electronic equipment, typically computers and communications equipment. (www.wikipedia.org)
DATA CENTER REQUIREMENT A requirement for the SAP data center, i.e. a physical requirement like power requirements, a rack requirement, a network infrastructure requirement or a requirement to the network server. (Anderson, 2003)
DISASTER RECOVERY (DR) REQUIREMENT Requirement that focuses on downtime that lasts many hours to days or even weeks (Anderson, 2003)
FUNCTIONAL TEST CASE A set of conditions or variables under which a tester will determine if a certain business process works (www.wikipedia.org)
HIGH AVAILABILITY (HA) REQUIREMENT Requirements that describes the amount of time that the system needs to be available to satisfy the needs of the users. (Anderson, 2003)
INSTALLATION DOCUMENTATION All documentation related to the installation of an end-to-end SAP solution (Anderson, 2003)
OPERATIONS MANUAL The collection of current state system documentation, day-to-day and other regularly scheduled operations tasks, various installation and operations checklists and how-to process documents. (Anderson, 2003)
SAP SAP AG is the name of the biggest European software company. The head office is in Walldorf, Germany. SAP was founded in 1972 as Systemanalyse und Programmentwicklung ("Systems Analysis and Product") by five former IBM employees in Mannheim, Germany. (www.wikipedia.org)
SAP IMPLEMENTATION PROJECT PLAN A comprehensive project plan that contains all products that are delivered whilst performing an SAP implementation project (Anderson, 2003)
SOLUTION STACK Set of software subsystems or components needed to deliver a fully functional solution, e.g. a product or service. (www.wikipedia.org)
SOLUTION STACK PARTNERS LIST A list of all vendors that deliver the products that make up the SAP solution stack (Anderson, 2003)
SOLUTION VISION A vision of the future-state of the SAP solution (Anderson, 2003)
STRESS TEST PLAN A test plan that is focused at determining the stability of a given system or entity. It involves testing beyond normal operational capacity, often to a breaking point, in order to observe the results. (www.wikipedia.org)
TEST PLAN A detail of how the test will proceed, who will do the testing, what will be tested, in how much time the test will take place, and to what quality level the test will be performed. (IEEE 829)
TRAINING The acquisition of knowledge, skills, and attitudes as a result of the teaching of vocational or practical skills and knowledge that relates to specific useful skills (www.wikipedia.org)
TRAINING PLAN Consisting of training units, a training plan is the result of hierarchical decompositions of a training goal, tailored according to the learning preferences and prior knowledge of the trainee. A plan is the means by which the trainee satisfies the goal. (www.ece.eps.hw.ac.uk/)
TSO Technical Support Organization. The people that are committed to implementation and management of SAP. (Anderson, 2003)
TSO CHART A chart that depicts the structure of the TSO. (Anderson, 2003)
Activity Sub-Activity Description
Project preparation Craft solution vision Refine and communicate a SOLUTION VISION of the future-state of the SAP solution, to sketch a design that meets both business and financial requirements. The focus should be on the companyu2019s core business and how the SAP solution will better enable that core business to be successful.
Design and initially staff the SAP TSO Design and staff the key positions of the SAP Technical Support Organization (TSO), the organization that is charged with addressing, designing, implementing and supporting the SAP solution.
Sizing and blueprinting Perform cost of ownership analysis Perform a COST OF OWNERSHIP ANALYSIS to determine how to get the best business solution for the least money i.e. to determine where and when the costs are incurred within the context of the SAP solution stack.
Identify high availability and disaster recovery requirements Determine all HIGH AVAILABILITY and DISASTER RECOVERY REQUIREMENTS, to plan what to do with later downtime of the SAP system
Engage SAP solution stack vendors Select the best SAP hardware and software technology partners for all layers and components of the SAP SOLUTION STACK, based on a side-by-side sizing comparison
Staff TSO Staff the bulk of the TSO, i.e. fill the positions that directly support the near-term objectives of the implementation, which are to develop and begin installation/implementation of the SAP data center.
Execute training Train the various members of the SAP TSO, like data center specialists, high availability specialist and network specialists and train the end-users to give all the required SAP knowledge and skills
Setup SAP DATA CENTER Build a new SAP DATA CENTER facility or transform the current data center into a foundation capable of supporting the SAP SOLUTION STACK
Perform installations Install the (My)SAP components and technological foundations like a web application server or enterprise portal.
Round out support for SAP Identify and staff the remaining TSO roles, e.g. roles that relate to help desk work and other such support providing work.
SAP functional development Address Change Management Develop a planned approach to the changes in the organization. The objective is to maximize the collective efforts of all people involved in the change and minimize the risk of failure of implementing the changes related to the SAP implementation.
Address SAP systems and operations management Create a foundation for the SAP systems management and SAP computer operations, by creating a SAP OPERATIONS MANUAL and by evaluating SAP management applications.
Perform functional, integration and regression tests Test the SAP business processes, by executing functional tests to ensure that business processes work, integration tests to ensure that the organizationu2019s business processes work together with other business processes and regression tests to prove that a specific set of data and processes yield consistent and repeatable results.
Final Preparation Perform systems and stress tests Plan, script, execute and monitor SAP STRESS TESTS, to see if the expectations of the end users, defined in service level agreements, will be met.
Prepare for cutover Plan, prepare and execute the CUTOVER, by creating a CUTOVER PLAN that describes all cutover tasks that have to be performed before the actual go-live
Go Live Turn on the SAP system for the end-users

Who gives the list that contains which business process is to be implemente

hi ,good morning to all
i have a question
that is how a solution consultant comes to know that which business process/which business process step is to be implemented in particular scenario? (for eg nw ep)

The Business process represents the various activities [processes] involved in attaining a business goal.
For example,in a procurement scenerio,
1] The goal is procurement.In system we have to map this thro'Transaction code/s.
2] This [ procurement] process involve various activities such as [a] getting indent from the user dept getting financial approval [specific /standing] [c] floating the tender /RFPs etc [d] getting the quote from the vendors [e]finalizing the vendor [f] placing the purchase order [g] recieving and inspecting the goods pay the vendor.
Like this,for every scenerio/process we have the relevant activities.
Before SAP implementation the client performs the Business process Re Engineering [BPR] and correctly defines the various process/s and the relevant activities.Before implementation the cosultant performs a detailed discussion with the user group and obtains process flow chart and other relevant details.Thus the detail_ gathering is a culmination of interactive discussions with the client,the info.being provided by the client by means of standard documents,flow-charts etc,the experience and judgenment of the consultant.
This gives an idea about the whole scenerio.
Having known this,we can map in to the system using a T/code[relevant to each activity-say automatic paymentT/code.F110] and interpret the whole process in terms of T-codes.
The users test this using unit test and the integration test [ MM-FI interface using Account determination, for example] and verifies if the process has been mapped in full and correctly.The test once passed shows that you have configured adequately Vis A Vis the business requirements.
This is how the process in full is understood [by the consultant] and mapped in to SAP.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Ramesh.

Business Process not initiated

Hello,
I have implemented a little business process that works in conjunction
with 2 other systems.
System one sends asynchronously a message to the business process, that
bp transforms the message and sends it synchronously via rfc to the
system two.
For this situation I have created a business process and a business
scenario, which are all configured properly at least according to the
checks in the integration designer.
At next I have transfered the scenario to the integration configurator
and configured the business systems. So far there was no problem in
doing so.
In the end I have 2 configured business systems, 1 business process, 2
receiver determination and 2 interface determinations and 1 receiver
agreement.
After that I have generated a proxy via sproxy in the business system 1
and called the proxy asynchronously. This call is monitored in the XI
correctly, but it is flagged as "Message scheduled (commit missing)".
Then nothing happens any more. I have checked the workflow engine
(sxmb_moni_bpe) whether something has been received, but this was not
the case. I also checked whether there are 2 identical entries for the
receiver determination.
Although the CPA cache seems to be ok at the moment according to
transaction (sxi_cache) and the information from the integration
repository, I had some problems today while creating the scenario, it
said "unable to refresh cache content" and the signals in the
repository where red. But right now, everything looks fine except the
fact, that the message from my abap proxy is not routed through
correctly.
This seems to be very strange, has somebody an idea what the status:Message scheduled (commit missing) actually means?
Thank you very much,
Oliver Budde
