Using Solution Manger for transports across entire landscape

Hi
I would like to know, is there any option in Solution Manager to use for transports for the entire landscape?
We have around 35+ SAP instances of different releases like ECC6.0, SCM 4.1, and BI 7.0 in our landscape. We also have portal systems in our landscape.
Currently we are doing transports in 3 different ways like for ECC 6.0, we are doing using Dev ECC 6.0 system, for SCM, we are doing from Dev SCM system and for BI system we are doing using Dev BI system.
Is there any option available in Solution Manager to do transports for the entire landscape of different releases?
Regards
Srinivas

Hello,
I am not sure to understand you but you can describe all your transport route under Solution Manager for all your landscape.
Then you release transport and manage workflow from Solman.
You can do it for Java System with CTS+.

Is it a must to use Solution manager for ECC 6.0 upgrade

Is it a must to use Solution Manager for ECC 6.0 (FICO & HR) upgrade? I am told Solution Manager is required only if it has ABAP and JAVA stacks, or involves Enhancement Packages; and could be optional if it is only ECC 6.0 with ABAP stacks.

Hi,
I'm having a difficult time finding some guidance for setting up our R/3 Enterprise system in solman properly, so that I can create the upgrade XML file required to go directly to ERP 6.0 EHP4.
I've set up the R/3 system fine, but when i create a maintenance transaction i cannot for the life of me figure out how to tell it I want to go from r/3 to ERP6 ehp4.
Any docs out there for this?
Thanks!
I figured it out... i had to add the R/3 Enterprise logical components to my system landscape. After that I was able to select R/3 as the initial data in the maintenance transaction and then the system i wanted to upgrade, and then the option to upgrade.
Never mind!

Use SSO resource for 10gReports across two servers

We currently have installed oracle10g suite on a server which has 10ginfra,10gas and 10greports.
We are able to generate reports without passing the Username Password to the request by creating an SSO resource.
We now have a requirement to move 10greports to a new server and have the Portal on the existing server. Is there any means by which the Portal User can use the fire reports, which inturn can use the SSO resource defined on the Portal Server.
Basically the requirement is to decouple Portal and Reports Server across machines and yet be able to use SSO resource to get DB User credentials for generation of reports.
Pls Help.

There is no problem if you keep same SericeAccount for 2 Env.
In Cluster Env configuration would be same no extra effort, configuration is tomcat dependent not CMS or Processing Server dependent.
Encryption is by default RC4 in 3.1 and 4.1

Using RSA1GEND Report for transports

Hi,
I did a search on term RSA1GEND and did not get any results. Has anyone had to run this report program to ensure the transport of the generic delta datasource completed successfully?
I am getting an error from the destination system saying that ....
<i>Diagnosis
In PI-Basis Release 2003.1, the generic delta update will also be supported separately from multiple source clients. To make this possible, a report must be executed that carries out the transfer.
This report was not yet executed in your system.
System Response
You can only access the generic delta update again nce you have made the conversion.
Procedure
Execute the report RSA1GEND and check the log.          </i>
Thank you

Hi Smith,
This is what the program says it is for.
Conversion of Generic Delta ROOSGENDLT->ROOSGENDLM
Description
This report converts the management table for the generic delta.
For PI 2002.X, it was not yet possible to calculate a generic delta in a multiple client system for each client separately. This is possible after PI 2003.1.
Requirements A precondition for the report is a system with PI 2002.1 or PI 2002.2 for which an upgrade to PI 2003.1 should be performed.
Output After the report has been run the management data for the generic delta have been converted to client-defined tables.
U can run this program from the SE38

Data Migration using solution Manager

Hi All,
Is there any way to use solution manger for data migration.

Hi,
in case you want to use it as middleware to connect 2 systems then rather use SAP XI / PI. SolMan is not providing such a functionality!

Can i use Solution manager ADS for ECC6 ABAP

Dear All,
We have landscape of ECC6 ABAP (Dev, Qua, Prd), can i install and configure ADS on Solution manager(ABAP+JAVA) and connect all Dev , qua and prd to same solution manger for Adobe interactive forms. is it possible ?
for production environment?.
Regards
Vinay

Hello!
This was already discussed. E.g. here ADS install in Solution Manager.
While it is technically possible (to connect several systems to one ADS) it is not recommended for productive environment for some reasons (security, stability, performance and easy of maintenance). I say you can use you ADS on SolMan for DEV, QAS and number of your training/demo systems, but install separate J2EE with ADS instance (better on separate server) for productive use. You can then check ADS updates/patches on SolMan first without breaking productive system and only then (if successful) update productive.

How to configure CTS+ for Solution Manager for XI 3.0

Hi ,
We are working on XI 3.0 SP 20 and Doing a file system based transport of .TPZ files. We observed that there is a possibilit of misssing the objects while tranporting. So we are planning to set CTS+ with our Solution Manager.
Question:
1. Can we configure CTS+ through the latest version of Solution Manager for XI 3.0 landscape?
If Yes .. How? If No... Why?
2. Is there any way to make the the transport automated like ABAP tranports.
If there is.... Please send the link or documents..
Thanks
Manoj

Hi Venkat,
Thank you for the Demo. The Demo gives me information about the CTS+ setup. I am looking for the compatability of CTS+ for XI 3.0.
We have Solution Manager 7.1 setup in place.
Please let us know if we can setup CTS+ on solution Manager (7.01 EHP1) and use it to transport XI 3.0 SP20 IR/ID objects across the XI landscape.

Manoj

Solution Manager for Implementation project

Hello,
I want to know how we should use solution manager for an implementation project. I am aware about the ASAP methods and the transactions in solman system for each phase. I have starting trouble like how to and where to start with? My ECC systems are not yet installed. Still we can go ahead with Blueprint creation and definition of roadmaps etc. Currently, it is done on paper. If anybody has done an implementation project through solution manager, could you please give me some hints how to start ? I repeat I am aware of the transactions but dont know what to add there in solar01/02 when the process are not defined/system not installed. Please guide me.
Rajeev

Hi Rajeev,
You're correct; you can start building the Business Blueprint without SMSY having all the systems that are 'to-be'. As long as you enter logical components in the project landscape with the correct product versions, you can replace those with the actual components once they have been installed. The BPR needs those product versions in the blueprint when you load the relevant scenario's. Once loaded, you can start documenting the scenario's, place the processes and process steps not used out of scope or delete them entirely and define custom scenario's, processes and process steps.
When the Blueprint has been completed with relevant design documentation, the Configuration transaction can be used to document how you actually configure the systems and, of course, to configure them from Solution Manager. The system landscape officially has to be definitive at the end of the Blueprint phase, unless you won't be configuring the systems centrally from Solution Manager.
The Solution is actually not necessary for a clean implementation; the Project will eventually lead to the solution. Once the systems are all configured and documented in SSM, you create the Solution and upload the project documentation into it in the Solution Directory.
Let us know how you get on!
Kind regards,
Patrick

Solution Manger Key

Hi ;
I am Installing SAP nw 04 Ides Sr1 and Solution manager is mandatory for installation. i am using solution manager for first time.
can any one tell me how to generate solution manager key
from tr code SMSY.(I have defined system but key generation option is not there)
And i am also confused about solution manger license key from market place.wheather it is mandatory to install permanent license key before generating solution manager key for further installation.
Regards
Nilesh

Hi:
Solution Manager Key is a requirement when installing NetWeaver based products; in this case your IDES system.
If you already had added the system into Solution Manager directory, then to generate the key proceed as follows:
from Tx. SMSY select:
--> from the menu "System Landscape" --> "Other Objects..."
...Then a new dialog box will show; choose the "System" option (checked by default) and drill down to select the system ID you need an installation/upgrade key.
...Once you have the system selected; choose from the Icons below the "Generate Installation/Upgrade Key"
...A new window will open; in that box you need to fill the actual system environment, then click "Generate Key" button.
That's all, you can now continue with the installation procedure!!! (copy and paste the installation key during installation in the SAPinst)
The difference between the both key's is the following:
- The Solution Manager key is only required during installation and the Marketplace Key that you need to install with Tx. SLINCESE is the actual license key for your IDES system installation.
Hope this helps !

Project Management using Solution Manager

Hi,
We are trying to use solution Manager for managing our IT projects - specifically for SAP projects.
We browsed through the existing functionalities that are available and are not able to get info on the following:
___Project Admin tab for Roadmaps :_ __ In the transaction RMMAIN, we are able to define the scope of the activities at each phase and assign team members and track the status of the activity / task.
However we do not have the tab for tracking the planned start date / end date and the actual start / end dates. Similar is the case for efforts.
So not sure how to track these?
Integration of Roadmaps and Blueprints : Once we have defined the project and assigned the Roadmap, we have all the activities that need to be tracked. In addition in transaction SOLAR01 / SOLAR02, we can define the scope and configurations which in itself are a kind of sub projects to be embedded withing the Blueprint and realization phases respectively of the main Projetc Plan.
How to link these Blueprint specific plan and the realization related plan to the main project plan created out of the Roadmap chosen and to track them as one single project?
Synchronization wih ms project : I see only the option to download the plan as an mpp file. But is there any option to upload mpp as well so that the project can be tracked using mpp and synchronized with Solution manager at frequent intervals?
Your answers would definitely be helping us a lot and would be greatly appreciated.
thanks in advance.
regards,
suresh velan

Hi Suresh,
Solution Manager is a Project Management tool. But it is not for Project Planning. If you want to do Project Planning also from the SolMan system, then you have to enable cProjects component of SolMan.
Synchronization between your MS Project and cProjects is possible. But synchronization between SolMan's RoadMap/Blueprint and MS Project is not possible.
In RoadMap, you can capture and track the status of all phase-wise activities as to what is their status. Here capturing date details is not possible.
In Blueprint/Configuration you can capture and keep track of the individual object's blueprinting and configuration activities. Here you can capture the planned/actual start/end dates for each object.
As I said earlier, Solution Manager provides lot of Project Management features, but Project Planning is not possible. For that we have to start using cProjects component in SolMan.
Hope it helps.
best regds,
Alagammai.
