Versioning of BPMN Process Models and Change Management

Hi all,
Can any of you please provide insight on how can we do the following change management activities?
1. Version Control of BPMN Models synchronized with the change management activities
2. In the Help documentation, two roles called Improvement Manager and Modeler were mentioned. How do we define their roles in the Administration? In User Management I see only one function privilege "Change Management" and both Improvement Manager and Modeller will have this privilege. Than how they are distinguished in their roles?
3. Does it also support a work flow and notification mechanism?
Thanks in anticipation.
Best regards,
Raja Mohan

Hi,
I'd just like to add some quick points that you need to consider:
Implicit version control is not supported in the current release (10.1.3.4) but it will be supported in Release 11 (upcoming release). There are some workarounds/alternatives like attributes (Status, Since/on, Released on, Released by, Release) and external version control system combined with the XML import/export functionality (Re: Control Version
The Change Management can be used to describe upcoming modeling tasks within the Business Process Architect. This implicates changes from IT, adding new objects, adjustments of models or control flow, etc... Especially it is suitable to document suggestions for future model improvements.
"Does it also support a work flow and notification mechanism?"I think this might be a governance topic that has to be created on your own.
Hope it helps,
Danilo

Hi Matt
Till you get exact answer, try indirect approach. I did view page source and could not find the details in the source code. Then I clicked on image to show in new browser and thats when I got this link: You can dig into this imageRenderer.jsp file that can be found in one of the WAR files shown below. Look into EARs also that my have WARs with this jsp. Mostly there should be some sort of Servlet also to display the audit trail. I just checked from bpm/workspace Process Tracking Tab. I did not looked from EM Console tracking tabs though.
beaHome\Oracle_SOA1\soa\applications\OracleBPMWorkspace.ear has a OracleBPMWorkspace.war file. See if this direction helps

Transport and Change Management

Hello,
We need to modify our MDM structure (add fields and tables). We would like to avoid unloading the repository. Can we do that in our test environment and move to Production only the structure while keeping the data in Prod.
What is the Transport and Change Management patch? Is this what we need?
Thanks for your help!

Hello,
This is not possible, as there is no support for Transport and Change management. You will always need some down-time in production. But there are some strategies to reduce the down-time.
(1) You could use the Java ADMIN API to create a batch-script that performs the required repository modifications. Once you validate it works, unload your repository, run your program and load the repository again.
(2) Create a "slave" repository and re-direct your production users to that repository. Unload your production repository and make all changes. Once done, reload that repository and switch back. Remember that this will only help to keep a "look-up" only version of the production repository...

CRMD_ORDER: how to set default values for Requester and Change Manager

Hello Folks,
how do I set default values in TA crmd_order?
I drew my organizational hierarchy using TAs bp and ppoma_crm.
When a new Change Request (e. g. SDHF) is created, I want the four roles (Requester, Change Manager, IT Operator and Developer) to be set automatically, not manually.
Both Requester (= Key User) and Change Manager are derivable. I did not find anything in SPRO neither in the OSS neither here.
Points will be rewarded as a matter of course!
Thanx in advance!

Hi Dirk,
look for Define Access Sequence & Define Partner Determination Procedure in SPRO and read the IMG Activity Documentation. You can find it in the Service Desk config, but it works for the other transaction types too.
Basically, you create Access Sequences where you tell the Partner Determination Procedure where to look for the values for the Partner Function fields.
The Access Sequence can use lots of sources for the information, including your org structure.

Jason

Business Process Modeling and Organizational Change Management

Many Change Management interventions are based on the business understanding the TO BE processes, how the process will change end-to-end, including not only the processes within SAP but also how they will interface with the entire application landscape. Id like to hear experiences and best practices. Who, how and when should those business process models be completed? What would be the role of Change Management in this piece?

Hi Claudia
Very interesting question!. This is the most challenging task an org unit is facing today. Before implementation you must be able to foresee what impact a new end to end business process would have on the present organizational set up. To visualize you need to have people who has knowledge in their respective business. It is no easy task. That is why you need to break & analyse each process in minute detail and compare to be process with the present process. To have an effective process in place you have to examine who is the Business process owner, if the owner does not follow or comply with the new process what is the risk involved, & what makes it mandatory that the process owner follows it and so is all down the line managers. What I mean to say is that by analyzing each and every new process you should be able to derive some KPI from this. This is how control can be built. This is all simple management technique but I have seen many new processes in ERP failing or not being used because of lack of Management control. I have answered who & how part. Now coming back to when part. The change management initiative has to start long before the actual ERP implementation. One has to prepare the organisation for taking a massive leap from a mere paper based organisation to accepting a system that can touch almost any business application. An organisation which has not prepared itself to accept the changes and hurriedly implements a system for the sake of project completion can see that the benefits projected in the business case may never be realized.

BPM and Change Management Process

Hi,
We have a requirement to automate the change management process. Typical functionality needed is - input the change required, assign priority, organise risk assessment, change approvals, change implementation, send automatic emails to managers etc.
Is BPM a best fit to this kind of Change Management Process?
Thanks
Srikanth

Hi Srikanth,
It's a good question and I hope this helps.
My short answer is that "it depends...".
Yes, an Oracle BPM process will let your users enter the change required, assign priority, define the change approvals, and send automatically send emails to managers.
Not saying that this is the case here, but sometimes people confuse an application with what BPM does with a process. Ask yourself if your candidate process for BPM has one or more of these characteristics:
Workflow - are there multiple people involved in the editing and approvals over some period of time?
Documentation - as work flows through the process, will you need to gather requirements / documents and associate these with the instance?
Seamless integration - are there systems and or databases involved that you need to integrate into the process?
Efficiency - do you want to ensure that your process continues to flow and escalates when a work item sits too long in someone's queue?
Governance - do you need to have an audit trail of the various people who were involved as a work item instance (a change approval in your case) flowed through the process?
Compliance - do you need to have the change management instances go through a process in a consistent and well documented manner?
Visibility - do you need to gather key performance indicators as instances flow through the process and do managers need to track these in business activity monitoring reports?
Hope this helps,
Dan

Runtime error in process model and sequence still passes

I am doing some custom initialization in the process model (in the ProcessSetup callback). I call a .NET module that may throw an exception under certain error conditions. This causes the the process model to jump to the Cleanup section of the process model (not the client sequence file cleanup) and that's okay. The problem I have is that in my UI I am getting the AxAppMgr_ExecutionEnded event and the e argument's exec.ResultStatus property indicates "Passed". I want it to indicate "Error" or "Incomplete" or something other than passed. The client sequence never ran at all. While it had no failures, it could not have passed.
How do I force the status to be "Error" or something other than "Passed"?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Ryan,
I am just getting back to this. Thanks for the response.
I have my own sequence that gets called from ProcessSetup in the process model. That sequence sets up some station global variables for me including some Object References. One of the object references is a .NET object used to read a file. If that file does not exist, then the .NET object throws an exception which results in TestStand presenting a dialog with the error message and options about what to do next. I don't want our technicians getting that dialog box so I changed the Station Options to "Run Cleanup" on Run-time error.
The process model jumps to its Cleanup section when the run-time error is received.
Does that give you the information you need?
Incidentally, I am able to look at the e.exec.ErrorObject in the AxAppMgr_EndExecution event handler and I can see the error as suggested by Doug above.
Thanks.

Software Configuration and Change Management for ABAP

Hi all,
we developed an ABAP application with about 10 developers and shipped it to Customer A.
Then we do corrections and enhancements for a new Customer B. But then Customer A finds bugs in his shipped version, which is not the current version on our development system.
Now a lot of time is wasted debugging the current version and finding out why the bug is there in the shipped version A but not in the current version.
So its difficult and timeconsuming to manage those different versions of the same application for different customers.
This effort increases with each new customer dramatically.
The ABAP workbench only knows linear versioning of single ABAP objects like report, function module or class.
Now the question:
Is there a standard transaction or external ABAP software that supports such a Software Configuration & Change Managment, i.e. allows tagging, branching, maintaining multiple development branches, allows running transactions and reports of older revisions, etc. like so many non-SAP/ABAP SCCMs like CVS, Bitkeeper, Subversion or Monotone do in the OpenSource world?
I found one called Conigma from Galileo Group, but am wondering if there are others, or whether there is someone having used such a tool.

Hi Frank,
In ABAP world, there is supposed to be one development environment for one production system.
The transport of changes follow the path
DEV --> QAS --> Production.
One golden rule is while making any changes to a program in Development, ensure that the version is compatible with production and QAS.
If there is a change request already open for the development object then that earlier change request should be finished first and the changes should get transported to QAS and production.
It seems you are trying to handle two production systems using one development system. That will surely bring some serious fun
Though, if you have no other option then keep the record of versions applicable to your different customers.
Later retrieve the version according to the customer before making any changes.
Cheers,
Ram

Are GRC Access Control, Process Control and Risk Management separate?

Are these 3 different modules that you have to purchase separately or are they included in one suite?

Hi Anne,
If you are refering to GRC Access Controls 5.3, Process Control 3.0 and Risk Management 3.0 - All 3 are separate.
A new version of GRC 10.0 has been launched which is currently in ramp up. This has all the above 3 in one suite.

Process Yard and Wave management

Hi Experts,
I have learnt EWM Module.
But i dont know how to process for yard and wave management.
can anyone please share some process steps... I have confiquered everything by checking help.sap.com
thanks in advance....

Hi Shiva
you can read all about wave in EWM 120 and at the same time go to good issue and wave management in EWM SPRO. customize your wave cat and wave type and then go to wave tcode.
/scwm/wave and add WR in it. As you relase wave WT+ WO will be created for grouped or single del.
Wave documents are used to group delivery items and to create WTs and WOs for
the group of delivery items at the same time. This allows optimization of the picking
efficiency and also eases monitoring and tracking of the outbound process.
I hope this will be good for wave to move forward.
by creating wave template and wave determination condition wave can be automated.
when you want to automate wave master data , config and PPF action need to work out.
for yard management what you want to know.

Analysis Process Designer and Inventory Management

In the How to guide for Inventory Management it mentions that you can you can intialise stock in the Snap shot Cube using the Analysis Process Designer (APD). Has anyone done this and if so can you explain how or outline some steps? Thanks

Hallo,
the APD does`nt be a useful tool for modeling a performant
data flow. A lot of SAP BW user think so.
The performance problems are given by the ddic intern table, using to uploading the extracted data into the apd used wa_table and structures.
To have the best performance on your scenario, please use the following scenario as possible.
Step 1.
upload the extracted data from the psa into a data layer
there you can reduce and harmonize the data by using a transactional ods
Step 2.
build a infoset that joins the data
Step 3.
build one query to reducing data and make two copies of ist
Step 4.
build a useful data mining model
Step 5.
upload the results of the data mining model into a transactional ods
Step 6.
link the uploaded data into a infoset ore write back into a standard ods
Step 7.
query the data
If you use this scenario you have a lot of benefits. Better performance, better quality of persistent data and actual and traininged data.
The recommend next step (if you want a alerting) is to build a reporting agent report - if you have usefull processes in the query.
There are a workshop for Data mining and APD, named BW380.
I hope I helped you.
Otherwise give me a message.
