Workflow Approval for CTS+ for NON ABAP Transport

Hi
We have a NW Portal system currently using CTS+ for transport.
We would like to incorporate a workflow approval for transport across the different landscape (DEV -> TEST -> QA -> PRD) with CTS+. The workflow approval would work in such a way that when someone approves a transport request from DEV->TEST, the Basis Admin will then perform the import to TEST. So this approval will also be needed from TEST -> QA and QA -> PRD.
Does Solution Manager provide such workflow approval for NON ABAP transport?
I do hope anyone has such experience to share.
Thanks.
Regards
mike

Hi Mike
Yes solution Manager CHARMS or Change request managment functionality uses CTS+ to move the Non ABAP requests
it uses IBASE as identifier for systems and for more can search sdn
check this link too

Hope it helps

  • EWA for NON-ABAP

    Hi,
    I configured SMD in solman, installed SMD & IA agents in Java systems(portals). But not able to generate report.
    EWA setup was already done, i installed the agents  recently. Even downloaded the service xml from solman SMD and tried to generate report manually, but not able to generate it.
    In SDCCN the session log shows as follows.

    Hello.
    First of all, you must ensure that your solution manger has, at least, stack 13 of support package, in java and ABAP side.
    Once you hace installed your agents in solution manager, you must to  do different things in your satellite system.
    - First of all, you must get sure that you have deployed LMSERVICE in your satellite system. And you must deploy -     JmxService7.1.P5NetWeaver.ear file.
    - Secondly, you must install wily folder in  /usr/sap/ccm . Willy folder is obtained in ISAGENT71_11-20002182.SAR file.
    Into Wily folder, you must look for sap_IntroscopeAgent.profile file, and you need to modify it in order to be seen for your solution manager. To do this step, only find in this file the next item:
    introscope.agent.enterprisemanager.transport.tcp.host.DEFAULT=
    It will have value 'localhost' and you must delete 'default' and insert your solution manager host.
    - Then, you must go to the next folder opening cmd:
    \usr\sap\ccms\willy\connectors 
    There, execute the next command in order to create the necessary connector:
    java -jar CreateAutoProbeConnector.jar -jvm C:\j                2sdk1.4.2_06 -output connector.jar
    Get sure tou put your corresponding JDK
    - You must install SMD agent in your satellite host, executing sapinst that is in CDSMDTOOLS21_0-10003537.SAR file.
    - Once your agent is running  go to  \usr\sap\SMD\J98\component_analyzer  and execute the command 'gather setup' . It will open to you a new window with some warnings. Double clicking in each warning and editing node, you can insert a value in order to correct these warnings.
    - Then, you must insert different java parameters in your config tool. Parameters are the next:
    -Xbootclasspath/p:K:/usr/sap/SMD/J98/SMDAgent/applications.config/com.sap.smd.agent.application.wily/BytecodeAgent/ISAGENT.7.1.P11-2007-09-27/wily/connectors/AutoProbeConnector.jar;K:/usr/sap/SMD/J98/SMDAgent/applications.config/com.sap.smd.agent.application.wily/BytecodeAgent/ISAGENT.7.1.P11-2007-09-27/wily/Agent.jar
    -Dcom.wily.introscope.agent.agentName=<name of the agent : insert what you want>
    -Dcom.wily.introscope.agentProfile=K:/usr/sap/SMD/J98/SMDAgent/applications.config/com.sap.smd.agent.application.wily/BytecodeAgent/ISAGENT.7.1.P11-2007-09-27/wily/sap_IntroscopeAgent.profile
    -XX:+PrintClassHistogram
    -XX:+HeapDumpOnCtrlBreak
    - When you have done this, you must configure your system in SMSY following SAP guides and create the solution in solution_manager transaction.
    - The next step is configure the system in SMD web:
    1.- execute SMD upgrade.
    2.- Setup diagnostics system
    3.- Setup managed system
    4.- in 'Trouble shooting' insert jdbc parameters
    5.- In 'Introscope agent' you must load the parameters you configured in configtool.
    6.- At this point will be necessary to restart your satellite system.
    When you finishes all these steps you will be able to obtain EWA for java side.
    Is so difficult to do this. We have done it in several environments and we have had lots of problems, but it's possible.
    Any doubt, please, give me your mail and I'll be so glad to help you.
    Best regards.

  • Does Solution Manager support Service Report for non-abap?

    Does Solution Manager support Service Report for non-abap?
    We can schedule and view reports for ABAP but for all the non-ABAP such as J2EE stack (PORTAL) we can not pull out a report.
    If the answer is yes please let me know where I can get the documentation of how to setup SLA for PORTAL or non-ABAP.
    I found a document on EWA non-abap but non for SLA.

    Hi
    actually i am in task of setting up ewa for portal.
    i had already done with abap components (ewa and sla)
    i stronly believe one of the pre-requiste to get sla is EWA.
    so i think if u can setup ewa for portal then you can get sla too.

  • EWA report for non-abap systems

    Hi Gurus,
    Good day.
    I would like to ask, what are the steps that I'm going to do when configuring an EWA report for non-abap systems i.e portal. Do Ineed to install SMD agents on my non-abap systems and connect to diagnostic agent of solman?
    Or do I need to install wily introscope agents on my non-abap systems and connect to diagnostic agent?
    It is both? Which one?
    It would be also great if you can provide me links/documents in relation to my queries.
    Please do note that the current version of solman system is 7.1
    Thanks in advance for the help
    Virgilio

    Hi Virgilio,
    To generate an EWA report for Java stack system,
    you need to do following:
    1. install smd agent (diagnostics agent) on Java stack system
    you can install this agent standalone, details see note 1234384.
    The installation Guide is also attached in note 1234384.
    2. finish Initial Config and Basic Configuration in solman_setup for
    solman system, the setting about Enterprise Manager is also included
    in these configurations, please ensure EM is running properly.
    3. start managed system configuration for the EP system in solman_setup
    after selecting the system type 'Java', please finish all steps as
    suggested in which step. The Step 'Wily Introscope Configuration' is to
    install Introscope Agent which is used for Java stack system. More infor
    please read the installation Guide of Enterprise Manager and note
    797147.
    4. You should be able to see data in Wily Introscope and Workload
    analysis via
    Root Cause Analysis->End-to-End Analysis->select the system->Workload
    Analysis
    5. If the EP system is added in a solution, the EWA task for this system
    should be shown up in solman's SDCCN.
    Also check note: 976054"
    Thanks
    Regards,

  • How to setup EWA for non-ABAP system with SM 4.0 ?

    Hi, we are running SM 4.0 with the support-stack 06. I have set-up a solution for monitoring which includes a NW04 WebAS 6.40 Java only system. Has anyone set-up EWA reports for this type of non_ABAP system who can advise of the steps necessary for this ?
    It seems like you need to define RFC destinations for where the monitored system data should be collected from , but there doesn't appear to be anywhere to do this for non-ABAP systems ?
    I have looked at Note 738676 - Service Data Download for Non-ABAP Components but it hasn't helped and it seems to be SDCC specific, rather than SDCCN.
    Thanks.

    Hi Andrew,
    we are just developing it, at the moment you have the following option, your java system has to send by ccms agends its data to an ABAP 640 system or higher, there you can see its alerts in ccms, then you have to make both system available in SMSY. Then important you have to assign the java system as a system component, then we collect also the java data and shows them in the EWA of the ABAP system. There for go to the main instance tab and set a java main instance to relevant and assign your java system.
    This is the old, available standard solution. At the moment we develop it also for java stand alone.
    I think it will be available with the new ST-SER in autumn
    Regards,

  • EWA for non-abap not triggering with SDCCN session

    Hi
    I can manually download the session and generate EWA for java stack but its not automatically generated with SDCCN report. Its a double stack system, i am getting EWA for abap stack but not for java stack. Guide on note 976054 do not clearly mention what to do.
    Any suggestion

    I JUST got this working after months of End-to-End Diagnostics Setup ...
    You've run the SMD wizard to set up the managing system? 
    You've deployed smdagents everywhere you have a non-abap system?  Use the SR3 install .. lets you register from SLD ... works when ping of your soulution manager host hasn't a chance.
    You've deployed the wily agent?  Use the absolute latest hostagent 7.2.3 or use the binary agent
    You're running Wily Enterprise manager outside of sap
    You've run the SMD wizard to set-up you non-abap systems
    You've doubled the size of the host that runs SM/SMD 7.0
    You've run the Diagnostics Admin > Diagnostics system > self check and got the reds down to an absolute minimum?
    If the SMD wizard for the managing system had problems creating the WEBADMIN RFC,
    there is an IMG activity (Solution Manager > Configuration > Basic Settings > Earlywatch Alert > Early Watch Alert for non-abap > Check RFC connection) that says to copy RFC SOLMANDIAG as WEBADMIN.  This works where the wizard didn't.

  • EWA for non-ABAP systems

    Hi,
    We are planing to implement EWA for Java systems. Currently EWA is active for all ABAP systems. Do we need Wily Introscope in order to setup the EWA for non-ABAP systems? Or just we can use the SMD to generate EWA reports for Java systems?
    Any idea?
    Thanks,
    Kris

    Thanks Paul
    We are on SM 7.0 EhP1. But I see following info in note 976054. It says data sources for EWA are different on 7.0 EhP1, does it mean we don't need wily from 7.0 EhP1 onwards?
    Data sources in Solution Manager Diagnostics up to SP17 used for EWA for non-ABAP components analysis are:
                          - Introscope (SAP Note 797147),
                          - Garbage Collection (SAP Note 1079125) and
                          - Portal Activity Reporting (SAP Notes 936612 to know how to activate PAR and 914791, 1075276 to configure SQL           
                            Command Console).
    Starting with Solution Manager 7.0 EHP1 (SP18) the data sources are:
                          - Solution Manager BI for performance data
                          - Configuration and Change DB(CCDB) for configuration data

  • OTO information not complete for non ABAP instance of system &1 in SMSY

    Hello,
    We have just applied Stack 23 and stack 24 to our Solution Manager system.  When we are executing action System Logon from  a ticket we are getting the following error:
    OTO information not complete for non ABAP instance of system &1 in SMSY
    We checked that this new message was created in note Note 1427761 - ChaRM: incorrect target system for action "System Logon".
    We went to the SMY transaction to the Product System definition for our system but we could not find which OTO information is missing there, where to load it, etc.
    We appreciate your help.
    Regards
    Esteban Hartzstein

    Hello,
    We have not applied the note separately, but we applied the support packages, so all the changes were applied, and therefore we are getting this error message  of "OTO information is not complete ....
    We have updated as suggested the info regarding the system in the SMSY.  We have read the Remote System Data.
    We will run SOLMAN_SETUP again to review the setup, and then test again
    We appreciate also if you provide any additional input.

  • Multiple CTS+ non-abap transport routes

    Gurus:
    We find a document about CTS+ as follows:
    https://websmp104.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700000517932007E
    On above picture, OTO is the shared DEV system.
    1) Is this correct?
    2) if we have different DEV systems for different landscapes, what should we do?
    All are non-abap ststems in this discussion.
    Thanks!.

    Hi,
    the transport route's definition that you described (OTO as start system of all transport routes for CTS) is only valid if your CTS-System is on NW 7.0 SPS 12. Starting with NW 7.0 SPS 13, the 'real' development system is also set as the starting point in the transport route.
    Are you using SPS 12?
    You can find a detailed description on CTS+ on help.sap.com: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/45/ec25370fdc3481e10000000a1553f6/frameset.htm

    Hi Kelly,
    BI content is for the reporting purpose and forms the base of the Diagnostics.
    By default BI Content is delivered in SAP solution manager- Client 001,. you can use it. You can also have a client copy as per Standard and use it as BI client.
    You have to perform the Following activities to use it for Diagnostics:
    1) Activate the BI content and perform some Changes including manual activation.
    2) Generate some users between clients to aid the commuication between BI and your Production client.
    3) Use the BI client as a Backend BI during Diagnostics setup(SMD) and run the configuration Process.
    All the above steps forms the aprt of Initial and Basic Configutation in solution manager.
    Then you have to perform managed system setup for your component.
    Hope this helps.
    Kindly revert for any issues.
    Thanks,

  • Workflow approval for sb

    I'm in the extended classic scenario. I need to check the workflow approval before of the sb saving. How table, objects contains this information?
    thanks
    Sabrina

    Hi
    What do you mean by sb ? Is it sc (Shopping cart or  something else ) ?
    Couple of ways to find the equired details.
    1) By SRM GUI logon, incase you know the shopping cart number, using BBP_PD  Transaction, you can get the complete Shopping approver details there itself.
    2) By SRM Web page, if you created a new shopping cart, in the Approver Preview section, just one level above the Order button, you can see the list of managers, who will be approving the shopping cart (With their details in 2 manner - graphical/ tabular details - like name, next level approver, etc )
    3) By using the Standard SRM Workflow function modules, incase you know the Shopping cart details,  you can get the approver list with their names, approving limit etc.                           
    <b>
    *-- get Approval preview - on the Shopping cart applet information - Standard SRM uses this function to get the Approval preview in the shopping cart
          CALL FUNCTION 'BBP_PDH_WFL_PARAM_APPLET_FILL2'</b>
    By creating a custom program, you can use the logic of fetching the approvers in advance, as done by SAP, you can get all the required details.
    Refer this link for details.
    <u>Re: where i can get Badi approvers..
    <b>Try BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI using SE18 Transaction to determine SRM N-step level Approval Workflow</b>
