URGENT: Changing System Landscape in ChaRM

Ok...here is our situation:
We use ChaRM with a 3 tier system landscape (DEV > USER > PROD).
Out USER system has been down for a month (maintenance) so we went live with ChaRM as follows:
DEV > PREPROD >PROD
Our USER system is now back up and running so we have replaced the Logical Component on the project to reflect this. This has worked ok but the task list is still showing the old system landscape. i.e. its showing PREPROD still instead of USER. How do I resolve this?
Do I have to complete the existing cycle and then create a new one? This would be fine except I would lose all the jobs I have scheduled in the task list (schedule every 15min EVERY day....took me ages).
Any suggestions?
Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi,
About this issue, there is a detail information about this in blog point 6 u201CChanges in the logical components of a project where Charm is already activatedu201D.
This is the link: http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/15116
So, you have to change the transport route accordingly and then close current maintenance cycle and generate a new one.
Following is the steps.
1: please import all the transport requests which were associated in the current maintenance cycle task list by STMS manually import.
1: change transport route from DEV > PREPROD >PROD to DEV > USER > PROD on the domain controller system.
2: close current maintenance cycle.
3: change the system landscape to DEV > USER > PROD in solar_project_admin.
4: generate a new maintenance cycle.
Thanks

BDLS: Partner profiles not change - System Landscape Copy (SRM+HCM+ERP)

Hello,
Can anybody help me for system copy i.e. production to quality.
System Landscape:
- 1 central HCM System
- 1 central SRM System
- 6 Backend Systems (ERP)
Problem: Change Log. Systemnames (SALE) and Partner Profiles (WE20) and ALE-Distribution Model (BD64).
We run BDLS (change RFC/log.Systemnames/ change BD64), but we have problems with Partner Profiles (WE20). Which do not change !
Anybody knows this problem?
What can I do?
Thanks, Silke

Running BDLS would not normally revert the setting for the partner profiles. You could either load it again via backup transport or make new entries accordingly to the specific settings prior to the system copy.

4 System Landscape // ChaRM // No Export System found

Hi Folks,
I got some problems with a 4 system landscape in ChaRM.
The error message I get when doing a consistency check within my SMI project is:
Message from function module /TMWFLOW/CHECK_PRJ_CONS: No export system for NWA-303
Message no. /TMWFLOW/TRACK_N159
Transport route should be as follows:
DEV -> QAS -> INT -> PRD
Since I am still in testing phase I used clients instead of real systems in my configuration (TMS, Logical component,....)
My configuration looks like this:
NWA client 300 -> 301, transport layer ZCHM, transport layer SAP, consolidation
NWA client 301 -> 302, delivery
NWA client 302 -> 303, delivery
Logical Component defined as follows:
Developement System (Source: SAP): NWA:300
Type of Role: D Source System
Quality Assurance System (Source: SAP): NWA:301
Type of Role: O Target System
Integration System (Source: User): NWA:302
Type of Role: O Target System
Production System (Source: SAP): NWA:303
Type of Role: P Production System
Anyone got an idea what is wrong? did I miss anything?
The same configuration works for a 3-tier Landscape (without Integration System).
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

Virtual systems within Transport system landscape

Hi!
I should map the existing transport management system landscape into ChaRM approach within SOLMAN.
The existing transport management system landscape has a lot of virtual systems with virtual transport routes.
Can some one of you explain the usage of such virtual systems with their virtual transport routes?
Thank you very much!
regards
Thom

System landscape changes after activating charm

I need to change the system landscape on a maintenance project. I need to add an additional QA client to the project landscape. I have open change requests that I can not move to production yet so I can not complete the project. I have created another project and tested forcing the cycle closed and creating a new cycle, but the change docs are associated to the old cycle number. I have followed the steps in the charm FAQ for closing inconsistent project cycles (note 933705), but I couldnu2019t re-associate the change docs with the new cycle or project. I would think the need to change the landscape when you have open change docs would come up fairly often. If someone has successfully done this would you please provide the steps?
Thanks
Jeff

Hi Jeff,
ChaRM supports the logical component changes and also with modifiable transport orders.
Please take a look at the following link:
Change Request Management scenario: Usual questions and known errors
/people/dolores.correa/blog/2009/07/22/change-request-management-scenario-usual-questions-and-known-errors
6. Changes in the logical components of a project where Charm is already activated
8. Completing a task list
A task list can be closed even with modifiable transport orders according to note 1071412 "Completing a task plan with changeable transport requests".
Then when you create a new cycle, the system automatically assigns these processes and objects to the new cycle. This is also logged in application log. To display the log entries, you can use transaction /TMWFLOW/MAINTINST. Navigate to the tab with your project type (usually the maintenance project) and choose 'Create...' and 'Execute'. Then select the required project and choose 'Messages at Time of Creation'.

Charm configuration for a 4 system landscape

Hi Experts,
We are planning to implement charm for a 4 system landscape: Development Server, Integration Server, Quality Server and Production Server.
We could configure TMS related steps, activated Charm in Solution Manager, created a maintenance project in solar_project_admin.
However, the standard delivered transaction types like Normal correction and Urgent Correction are not working in a 4 system landscape. They are only working for 3 systems (DEV, QAS and PRD).
Are there any documents or blogs that would specially explain all the steps required for 4 systems? Any kind of help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ravali

Development --> Integration --> Quality --> Production.
First, I will import the transport of copies into integration
Yes, and you test the changes here.
Second, the whole transport is released and imported to Integration - in the Test phase of the maintenance cycle and NC status being consolidated.
Third - Now, keeping the maintenance cycle in the TEST phase and NC phase in consolidated, will I be able to schedule the transport into quality server?
Nope. You consolidate your normal correction, which releases your original transport and import them into Integration, and then immediately into Quality (you already proved it worked in Integration) BEFORE you set the phase to Test. Otherwise the original transports are NOT released. And if you set your phase to Test before importing the originals, you'll get a message that you cannot import transports into Quality during this phase.
If you need to get transports into Quality for break fixes during the Test phase you need to use a Test Message and these are imported during Go-live as well.
Fourth - if the above process works, I will then change the MC to Go Live and schedule the import to Production.
With the corrected process mentioned above, yes, you will then change the phase to Go-live and it will import everything that was brought into Quality.
Hope this helps.

CHaRM - Urgent Change - Transports removed from request when they are released

Hello, I'm in the processing of configuring and testing CHaRM within my landscape. I'm running into a strange problem when creating an Urgent Change. I can create the request without a problem. Then within the request I create a Transport Request (doesnt' matter if it is Workbench or Customizing) and then I create a task underneath that Transport Request. All of that works without an error. However, when I choose to either "Pass Urgent Change to Test" or click on "Release Transport Request" the release job appears to finish successfully, but then the Transport Request is removed from the Urgent Change form. Is the system supposed to work this way or am I doing something incorrectly?

Hi Jon,
did you put anything in the request or task?
Empty requests and tasks are deleted automatically in ChaRM.
Hope this helps,
Christoph

ChaRM in two system landscape

Hello Everyone,
I want to implement ChaRM for BIW systems which is a two system landscape: BIWDEV and BIWLIVE . Is it posible to implement ChaRm in a two system landscape /we need three system landscape only for it.I started the ChaRM configuration work but faced certain issues over which i was told tat Charm needs three systems for implementation. Kindly plz suggest and confirm.
Regards,
Somya

Hey Somya,
2 system landscape will also work with CHARM.
CHARM can also be configured in single system landscape.
But the bottomline is you require in all 3 clients to realize charm.
These three clients can belong to same or diffrent systems altogether.
For you i would say, u will require 2 clients in BIWDEV system ( Say BIWDEV:100 as development cleint and BIWDEV:200 as Test client ).
Now you have BIWLIVE system which is our production system, so you require 1 client BIWLIVE system..
So your 3 clients are ready and Change Request management can be realized..
Please Reward with points if this postv was usefull..
Revert For ne clarifications ..

Suzzane

ChaRM with 4 system Landscape.

Hi, 
We are trying to implement ChaRM in a four system landscape 
 
AFD --> AFQ --> AFI --> AFP 
 
defined logical components, project, created maintenance cycle. U'gent correction works fine. 
 
but for regular correction, we are able to create TRs release it, but not getting imported into AFQ and of course further steps are not happening. When the status is "Development Completed", we perform "Log on to system", this pops up with a dialogue with options 
 
AFQ 200 
AFI 100 
 
to logon to system. 
 
This is the only clue we got. 
 
When we perform the actions, the status keeps changing and goes to status "Production". It doesn't obey the phases maintenance cycle as well, irrespective of the phases the status keeps changing and goes to status "Production" 
We are missing some minor thin's. 
 
Have we defined the system roles properly? IF not, how does the flow works perfectly fine with respect to U'gent correction. 
 
Please help. 
 
 
Regards, 
Ragu 
 

Hi Ragu,
I have a few questions here:
1. What normal correction type are you using - SDMI or SDMJ
2. What roles are assigned to the systems in Logical Components? I believe they are setup as Target Systems and thats why you get the pop-up with both systems when you execute 'Logon action' after 'Development Completed'
3. What is the STMS setup for this landscape?
4. Urgnt should behave properly coz it takes the shortest route to production. Can you check the tasklist of Urgnt and see if there are only 3 systems there?

Kriti Bhalla

4 system landscape - ChaRM

We are implementing ChaRM in Solution Manager with 4 system landscape.Our requirement is :
Client need staging between quality system & production system.
Dev ---> Quality -

3 system and 4 system landscape - Charm

Dear All,
We have 3 system landsacpe for ECC and 4 System Landscape for BI?
Is it possible to configure CHaRM for these landscape?
If yes, please give me step by step guidelines.
How to create Maintenance Cycle?
Raj

Hi Raj,
This is possible. The three system landscape is the usual scenario. In four system landscap, you just need to add a pre-production system in your landscape.
Go to the Wiki http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/SM/Weblogs%20related%20to%20Solution%20Manager and search for Change Request Management. There are some 10 docs available there. Specifically have a look on
First steps to work with Change Request Management scenario
/people/dolores.correa/blog/2008/07/26/first-steps-to-work-with-change-request-management-scenario
Call service.sap.com/rkt-solman. You can find the materials for project prepration, corrections etc.
Call SPRO in your solman system and go through the documentation provided there.
This will give you adequate information for configuring ChaRM.

For one Urgent Change during performing the Approval(chnging the status to 'To be Tested') system does not recognize any changes using the CTS WBS BOM in the development system. The transaction is therefore incorrect or the status was reset by the system.

For one Urgent Change while performing the one of the Approval before changing the status to 'To Be Tested'
We are getting below error.
The system does not recognize any changes using the CTS WBS BOM in the development system. The transaction is therefore incorrect or the status was reset by the system.
COuld anyone please help us to know, How it can be resolved?
We also have this below error.
System Response
If the PPF action is a condition check, the condition is initially considered as not met, and leads to another warning, an error message, or status reset, depending on the configuration.
If the PPF action is the execution of a task in the task list, and the exception is critical, there is another error message in the document.
Procedure
The condition cannot be met until the cause is removed. Analyze all messages in the transaction application log.
Procedure for System Administration
Analyze any other messages in the task list application log, and the entries for the object /TMWFLOW/CMSCV
Additional Information:
System cancel RFC destination SM_UK4CLNT005_TRUSTED, Call TR_READ_COMM:
No authorization to log on as a trusted system (Tr usted RC=0).
/TMWFLOW/TU_GET_REQUEST_REMOTE:E:/TMWFLOW/TRACK_N:107
For above error Table /TMWFLOW/REP_DATA_FLOWwas refreshed as well but still the same error.

If you are in Test System, you can use function module AA_AFABER_DELETE to totally delete the depreciation area (tcode SE37, specify chart of depreciation and depreciation area), After that recreate your depreciation area and run AFBN. But before you do that, have you created a retirement transaction type that limits the posting on your new depreciation area? If not create one.
Hope this helps.
Thanks!

ChaRM: 4-System-Landscape possible?

Hello,
regarding our system landscape we have no clue how ChaRM will handle following situation
DEV-System: Development-System were the developments should be done.
QAS-System: Test-System were the tests should be done.
FNC-System: nothing to do here, just for functional tests
PRD-System: Production System
Transport routes are DEV -> transport group which deliveres QAS and FNC, and from QAS -> PRD.
What needs to be done to set this up correctly for ChaRM (e.g.: SMSY-logical components)?
Thanks in advance.

Hi
You have two options:
1) assign FNC to task list: you can start the import to this system in the task list manually
2) or task list without FNC: you can schedule a job 'import all' at FNC or import manually via STMS
Confiiguration:
1) One log. component with D-Q-FNC-P (Q and FNC are of role target systems)
2) One log. component with D-Q-P

Andy

ChaRM Urgent Change Preliminary Import variant

Hi,
I am trying to change the Umode of the preliminary import program being used by an Urgent Change in ChaRM. This is the program name:
/TMWFLOW/SCMA_TRORDER_IMPORT
Is there a way to configure the import UMODE based on variant configuration? I know we can configure the variant to be used by the program in the Task List/Schedule Manager. However, currently there are no variants and I am also unable to configure/create a variant via SE38.
Thanks! Any help would be appreciated.
Luigi

Hi,
This question came up few more times in last 6 months here in the forum. What I understood is that you can not configure Umodes for Urgent Changes,

Vivek
