Updating Solution Manager - Charm Non-regression Tests

Dear Gurus,
we plan to update Solution Manager from SP18 to SP25.
One of our concerns is related to Charm. Actually, due to code changes in the Charm workflow, we'd like to ensure there won't be any regression. what would you suggest?
1) Adding additional mandants to the sandbox system (one for every system in the transport route)
2) Creating virtual systems in TMS
Sincerly,
Ludovic

I will try to clarify the issue.
As regression test, we would like to simulate a Charm workflow within the sandbox environment. The original Workflow is based on validation steps accross DEV - INT - QUA - PPD - PRD.
Question is : can I define virtual systems in TDM/CHARM like I would do to bypass a system during transports in order to simulate our complete landscape?
Kind Regards,
Ludovic

Accessing Solution Manager CHARM Via SAP CRM

Hi
Is it possible to accces charm of soultion manager via SAP CRM
If so how does it work and documentation are welcomed
Thanks in advance
R-K

option 1
> customise sap crm to cater for the external product in terms of what solution manager charm / service is currently doing for sap componet
. Create all the status for this products eg: transport is in Dev for product A, Transprot is in QA for product A or product is in Prod then test and close the call
> access solution manager from crm (NB: work center / service desk can be accessed through crm) the problem is WE NOT SURE OF CHARM
> also customise crm to cater for IT related issues like broken laptop or netowrk cable not working or IT related query,
Option 2
> intergrate the external product to solution manager o
> Customise CHARM / service desk to cater for this external product in solution manager the way it does for sap components / ibase

Solution Manager and HP Quick Test Connection.

Hello Gurus,
We want to use Solution Manager to make test for our developments, but our corporate tool for this is HP Quick Test.
As far as I know it's possible to connect Solution Manager to HP Quick Test. Does anybody know about it?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Are u mentoning about HQ Quality Center? If yes, these documents might help:
SAP Solution Manager Implementation Guide -> SAP Solution Manager -> Scenario-Specific Settings -> Third Party Integration -> SAP Quality Center by HP -> Integration Test Management ...
Also check SAP Note 1059350 - Installing SAP Adapter for SAP Quality Center by HP.

BW 3.1 to BI 7 Upgrade Non Regression Tests

Dear All,
I am planning a BW 3.1 upgrade to BI 7.
I need to focus on Non-regression tests. In others words, I would like to know what kind of non-regression tests I will have to do to confirm the UAT.
I am not talking here about post-upgrade activities (technical stuff). I am more focused on the current modelisation that has been upgraded (still in 3.x thought).
So far, I identified the following:
__Full Load tests__
By loading a specific month data scope - before and after upgrade - I can confirm the data load processes through the cubes and ODS.
Delta Load tests
I do not know how can I do this (how can I ensure that my R/3 will not change ...)
Queries
I can select some of them to ensure they are still working ...?
What can we have more in the non regression tests?
Thank you for your help
chris

Hi guys
Any thoughts?
Thanks,

Non-Regression Testing?

Gurus,
what do we mean by "Non-Regression Testing"?

Hi
Non Regression Testing : After changing some functionality in the application
we'll go for regression to verify the bugs and its impact on the other functionality of the application.
Example : If release of the project is expected soon we don't get asmuch time to test the whole application again. At that time thedecision may be taken by tester with lead that dont go for regressioni.e. Non Regression Testing.
In such a case only we have to retest the changing functionality/module/build

Solution Manager ChaRM Issues when Upgrading Satellite System

When upgrading a satellite system that is connected to Solution Manager's Change Request Management, is there anything that we need to be aware of?
Will Change Documents still be able to go to completion (Production status) if we modify the landscape from the time the Change Document is In Development to the time it is moved to Production?
1. Normal Correction (In Development) Development (ECC 5.0) -> Quality (ECC 5.0) -> Production (ECC 5.0)
2. Landscape is changed to Development (ECC 6.0) -> Quality (ECC 6.0) -> Production (ECC 5.0)
3. Normal Correction moved to To Be Tested -> Consolidated -> Production
Will the Normal Correction be in error because the landscape changed for the iBASE?
Are there any other lessons learned that anyone has experienced with Change Request Management or Implementation during and after an upgrade?
Thank You,
Carlen

Thanks Subhashini!
We had issues updating the Task List in the past. After we update the landscape and refresh the project and update the Task List, do you foresee any other problems?
Are there any additional items we should look out for? For example, we understand it is a requirement to release all transports prior to beginning the upgrade. However, since the release of the transport locks the change into the cycle for the next production move, this will present a problem if the change is not yet ready to be moved into Production. Do you have any further insight to any additional issues such as this?
Thanks again!

Solution Manager/Charm and Transport Dependency Check

Hello Everyone,
I apologize if this question has an obvious answer. I have searched SDN and could not get a 100% answer.
We are just now in the process of rolling out Charm/Solution Manager and I have noticed that it appears to not perform transport dependency checks. For example, let's say I am working on object ABC and have completed my testing (ready for transport to production) and then another developer also starts development on object ABC. When my change is moved to production, it will pick up the other developers modifications without giving a warning or an error that a dependency has been encountered between the two transport requests.
Does Charm/Solution Manager offer the option of producing a warning should a transport depedency be identified? If so, will someone explain (or point me to the appropriate documentation) how this can be set up?
Best Regards,
Scott

Hi Scott,
ChaRM supports imports from DEV->QAS->PRD by transport by transport requests level not by transport request task level. So don't worry(i.e., You can't import only your change of object ABC to production. It allows to import your change and other user's change of object ABC together to production).
This is how it works(if more than an user works on the same object):
1. Requester creates a support message from satelitte system to report a problem.
2. Service desk employee creates a change document because some changes need to be done on object ABC to correct that reported problem.
3. Change Manager approves the change document. So a normal correction is created automatically.
4. This normal correction is assigned to 2 developers(your scenario) like for an example DVPR1 and DVPR2.
5. DVPR1 creates a transport request and does some changes on object ABC. So a transport task will be created for DVPR1 under that transport request automatically.
6. When DVPR2 tries to do some changes on the same object ABC, a seperate transport task(not a transport request) will be created for DVPR2 under the same transport request because the object ABC is locked under the transport request. So DVPR2 can't create a separate transport request for the same object if any transport request is pending(not released).
7. Now object ABC will have one transport request. That transport request will have 2 transport tasks(1 for DVPR1 and 1 for DVPR2).
8. Each developer relases their transport task only(not transport request) once he/she completes his/her change on the object ABC.
9. DVPR1 or DVPR2 will change the status of normal correction to "Development Completed".
10. Now, IT operator or DVPR1 or DVPR2 can release the transport request. The transport request can be released only if all tasks are released under the same transport request.
(In this example: DVPR1 completed his change and released his transport task. Next DVPR2 completed and released his transport task).
11. Finally IT operator import the transport request to QAS and PRD.
Hope you are clear now. Let me know if you have any doubts.

Sanjai

Solution manager charm configure

hello everyone
i want to configure the charM scope with our R3 and BW at two domain .
R3 landscape
                    DEV(101sandbox,201-develop,301-customizing ,800unit testing)
                    QAS(800- testing)
                    PRD(800-prduct)
tranport   from DEV TO QAS and delivery to PRD ,also you can export the object from QAS to PRD for special .
domain controller is PRD
BW landscape BWD(client 100)--BWQ(client 880)BWP(client 880)
domain controller is BWP
if we use the charM for manager the change requst ,how we configure in all system for prepare the charM like the stms configure .
we notice our test system and prd system have same client number ,so it is ok for configure ?
expect your help!
thanks a lot!
frank

Hi,
1 QAS client and PRD client can be the same(need not to be different).
2. Make sure that the system landscape you mention under system landscape tab of SOLAR_PROJECT_ADMIN should match with TMS configuration of Solution Manager.(This is very important).
You should create a maintenance project with system landscape DEV-201->QAS-200->PRD-200 using SOLAR_PROJECT_ADMIN. Repeat this step for BW also.
   You need to configure TMS of Solution Manager in Client 000 as follows:
    SLM->DEV-201->(Consolidation Route)QAS-200->(Delivery Route)PRD-200
    SLM->BW-100->(Consolidation Route)BW-880->(Delivery Route)BW-880
No more document is required better than SPRO. Just follow this SPRO path to configure TMS:
SPRO->SAP Solution Manager->Configuration->Scenario-Specific Settings->Change Management
->Change Request Management->Standard Configuration->Transport Management System(Read IMG activity of each step).
Let me know if you have aby issues.

Sanjai

Hi Suman,
Usually the p4port should be 5<xx>04 where xx is the instance number. But the error says p4port is 50000.
Login to Visual Admin and check the p4provider service under dispatcher node. If the port is 50000 then change it to 50004.
Then try again.
Cheers.....,

Solution Manager Charm configuration

Hi @all,
I´am using SAP Solution Manager 7.0 SP 15. Configurated all Charm Steps successfully.
The SAP Solutoin Manager - Scenario- Specific Settings - Change Management - Extended Configuration -Checks - Execute Check Report is green
I can´t open any hance cycle in solar_project_admin - System Landscape - Change Requests , Create Task List, I get the result "project is not released. hance cycle can not be created".
If i click "check", there are three errors:
Message from function module /TMWFLOW/CALC_SINGLE_TRACK: No source system
(Message no. /TMWFLOW/TRACK_N103)
No track for project DF_WART_01 with log. system A36/200
(Message no. /TMWFLOW/CM_CHECK038)
CTS projects in production systems for project DF_WART_01
(Message no. /TMWFLOW/TASKLIST190)
System change options are empty.
In my authorized Change Requests - related documents (next document). i get "there are no actions in the Worklist"
i´ve no idea where my fault is. I hope you can help me.
Please suggest.
Best Regards
Daniel

Now I have created a new maintenance project, I´ve configured everything, when I check it, I get two errors:
No consolidation system found for A36-200 (project DF_SOLMAN1)
Message no. /TMWFLOW/TRACK_N806
No track for project DF_SOLMAN1 with log. system A36/200
Message no. /TMWFLOW/CM_CHECK038
I noticed that this thread is pretty old already but I bumped into similar error messages and in the end it was caused by a TMS route configuration that didn't match the configuration of the logical component that was in use.
You can pretty easily verify this through SMSY. Navigate to your logical component there, select the line of the system assignment and click on Shipment Routes button. If you get an empty screen back, then your TMS transport route configuration doesn't match your logical component configuration.
For example, you've got DEV 100 - DEV 200 - PRD 100 for a CHARM demo landscape. If your TMS transport route configuration matches this but your logical component has DEV 100 assigned as Quality Assurance, then your configuration check for CHARM will fail because there is a mismatch.
When your configuration is correct, so both your TMS transport route as your Logical Component (system role assignment), then you should get a transport route configuration back (visible) after clicking Shipment Routes.

Solution Manager CHARM Implementation

Our company has implemented SAP in the year 2000. Now we are trying to implement Solution Manager and do CHARM configuration.
The difficulty what we are facing is the system is taking all the transports which have already done right from the year 2000.
Is ther any way by which we can restrict the system not to take those CR's into consideration...

Solution manager CHARM workflow.

I have configured workflow using http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/d06db8e2-5036-2c10-1a97-dee1364fcec8?QuickLink=index&overridelayout=true.
On testing part, when i am creating change request, it is just generating plain reminder mails.
How can i configure to custoimized mail texts.?
How can i generate work items? Noa pproval are generated.
Am i missing some thing. Please help me.

process is when a cr is created it goes to group called CAB or change advisory board this group can be determined like you do for service team determination in support message
out of this group normally one enter his name and approves the CR
you can check blog series for charm workexamples are given clearly
