Workflow In solution manager
Dear Friends,
We have configured a Workflow for Escalation mails in Solution manager.
The thing is we are Using request start . In that step we are using an
Expression for date and time , where date and time are container elemnts.
The values are coming properly.
Now the mail should be triggered when the deadline in the date and
Time is Reached.
The same thing is configured in R/3 server. there it seems to be workng fine.
All the required customization have been done in Solman server .
Still the step is not working... It is showing IN process State.
Any sort of help wld b appreciated.
Thanks,
Shashi
You say customizing has been done.
So it is superfluous to ask if the deadline background job is running.
At what interval though?
Also change the workflow with a hard value.
If this works, then you know something is wrong with the containerelement.
also check the short dump log, maybe the process dumps due to some explicable reason.
Kind regards, Rob Dielemans

Can we create a workflow in Solution Manager ?
Hi Friends,
Actually I have a requirement to create a workflow in solution manager.
The requirement is to create a wf for issue log. As soon as a new <b>issue (support message)</b> is created then the wf should get triggered and send out a mail to the resp. person. It just a sending a mail between issue created and responsible person. Can anyone please let me know if we create a wf in Solman or not ? <b>If so please provide me some related buss. obj for that.</b> thanks
Grateful to your help.
SrithanIf you want to Place certain actions after status change of a transaction, it's better to do this with an action profile and a condition for that action:
In Solman check SPRO path:
CRM>Transactions>Basic settings-->Define transaction types
In this activity double click the transaction type to find out what the action profile is:
Now go to:
CRM>Basic functions>Actions>Actions in transactions>Change actions and conditions-->Define action profiles and actions
Here you can add an action definition on the action profile, this can be methods, workflow or in your case a smartform mail.
If the action profile is a SAP standard (doesn't begin with Z) it is advisable to copy the standard. Also, this is more of a CRM/Solman consultant issue, so you may have to involve such a consultant
Now go to
CRM>Basic functions>Actions>Actions in transactions>Change actions and conditions-->Define Conditions
Here you can add conditions which will cause the action to be executed.

Can we create a workflow in Solution Manager for Tester Worklist ?
Hi Friends,
Actually I have a requirement to create a workflow in solution manager.
The requirement is to create a workflow for issue log(tester worklist). As soon as a new issue (support message) is created then the wf should get triggered and send out a mail to the resp. person. It just a sending a mail between issue creater and responsible person.
Can anyone please let me know if we create a wf in Solman or not ? If so please provide me some related buss. obj for that. thanks
Is there any standard workflow (or similar to that) to make it automatic ? Once the message is created then a mail to the responsible person should go.
Grateful to your help.
SrithanSorry Raguraman,
I am unable to check those tcodes as I havenot got the authorizations for those. after several mails I got some basic wf developer tcode access. I am not sure whether I have to create a new workflow for this or I can go with some built-in technology to send mail when a new message (tcode: stwb_work) is created.
can raguraman or anyone please help me on doing this ?
if the solman has provided the standard for sending mails when a new message is created/changed to the responsible person.
grateful for your help

Workflow in Solution Manager for approval and notification
hi@ll
i want to know if there is a function or customizing feature for implmenting these two kinds of workflows in the solman:
-for notification: if the status value of a document in the SOLAR01/02 will change, can automatocalliy be sent an email?
-for approval: ChaRM?
thank you
MarcoHi Marco,
In answer to the first question, for SOLAR01/02, no standard setting is available. It's got to be custom built, if the project budget allows
As of SolMan 7.0 Enterprise Edition, it seems there are some preconfigured Workflows.
I am hopeful that they are talking of what you seem to want. Please check page 9 of 14 of [this|https://websmp208.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700000225832008E.pdf] document.
If your client is on 'SAP Enterprise Support', you are entitled to get SolMan Enterprise Edition !

Solution Manager - WF for Document Management
Hi all,
I wonder if any of you have experience with developing workflows in Solution Manager?
I basically need to trigger a simple workflow when there is a change of status in a document stored in the Solution Manager (tcode SOLAR01, Proj. Document tab).
I know that object type SOLMANDOC is available and I know that event signature_process_start is published when the user signs the document. I am not sure how the event gets published - perhaps it is hard coded somewhere, I am just not sure. Any ideas how I can find out? Perhaps I can enhance the code to publish other events?
I have posted the question in Solution Manager forum, but haven't had much luck with it yet.
Thanks in advance for any help you might provide.
Cheers,
CristianaHi,
So far this is what we have done.
on SWE2 we have generated the following triggering event:
object category: Bor obj type
obj type: solmandoc
Event: Signature_process_start
Receiver type: {defined Workflow}
Linkage settings
Receiver call: Function module
Receiver FM: SWW_WI_CREATE_VIA_EVENT_IBF
These settings would trigger your Workflow.
You should be able to create the task for your workflow based on each of the methods on the BOR object.
Currently we are using the SIGN method since it allows you to both Review and sign the document.
Current Challenges: we are only allowed to sign the document twice. Once when created and once when reviewed.
We are currently working with SAP in order to allow multiple signature process. -
How to allocate the workflow to the action defnitions in solution manager
Hi,
we are having solution manager with the CHARM configured, and currently we are looking for the trigger of mail and workitem for change of action. the work flow is designed for that, but how to assign the workflow to the condition and processing type .
please suggest, points are definetly awarded.
Thanks and regards
keerthiHi,
Well, why dont you check the event that gets triggered during the Status change of the user?
This can be done by switching on the EVENT TRACE using SWELS txn and simulate the BUSINESS PROCESS and then check the event trace using SWEL.
After getting the required Business Object and event, Please attach your WF to that EVENT in the BASIC DATA-START EVENTS.

BPM, Solution Manager, XI and Workflow
Hello all,
I read that in XI/P, BPM uses the Workflow engine.
I also heard about the BPM in Solution Manager.
What is the difference between BPM in Solution Manager and BPM in Workflow? Do both systems use the old Workflow engine?
TIA.

Solution Manager Workflow problem
Hi,
I am triggerring a workflow for support message creation in transaction crmd_bus2000116 in solution manager. It been assigned to a particular agents by using a customized workflow . I am facing two problems...
1. The person to whom I am assigning the workitem, if he simply displays it , then workitem is getting deleted.But I need to be there for particular period of time and then if he is not changed it then only it should get deleted from his SAP Inbox.
2. If he changes means I should trigger an another event , which will call the same workflow in the next event, In this case how can I check the event getting called .....currently I am using an status flag to do so....
Cheers,
Sabari.Sabari,
1. You should use an asynchronous task with the Changed event as the terminating event to create the WI. The WI will then stay in the inbox until the changed event is triggered. You will have to use modeled deadlines in order to remove the WI or end the workflow after a specified time. You can look in the online documentation for more information on terminating events and modeled deadlines.
2) There is no need to check for the changed event. You can have the next step follow after the first step ends with the terminating event.

I would like to know if there is any standard workflow template available in Solution manager for Change request management. My requirement is to trigger a workflow when the status of the change request is made to Assigned. I have to send a workitem to a the approver and he changes the status to the next status and then the workflow should send a workitem to next approver and so on. We have two options to do this
1. One is using the status management(BSVW).
2. Using Action profiles(similar to one in CRM).
I would like to know which one is the best option to use for custom workflow development. Please advice.Hi,
We have two options to do this
1. One is using the status management(BSVW).
2. Using Action profiles(similar to one in CRM).
Use any of these options to trigger the event.
One the event triggering in SWEL, then mapped your workflow to it.
Can you tell which BO you are using?

Solution Manager & Workflow driven Transport Mangement
Dear SDN Members,
I would like to know if it is possible to use a workflow drivene TMS within the Solution Manager 3.2 using serveral approval steps. For instance an approval between DEV and QAS and an approval between QAS and PRD.
We would like to implement the workflow for our 4 system R/3 landscape, 3 system BW and XI landscape.
Regards,
Niek WeustinkHi Mrutyunjay,
As far as I know, you can only attach one CTS project per Solution Manager Project.
The idea is that for each different project you have for your satellite systems you´ll have to have one Solution Manager project.
This way you can use the features on Solution Manager side to control all changes ( for instance, using Change Request Management ).
Part of the CTS functionalities that we have on standard SAP installations are being migrated to Solution Manager controls.
So, you can have as many CTS projects you need on your ECC as long as you have their correspondent Solution Manager projects.
Based on ITIL standards, Solution Manager is the central point to control all changes you make in your systems.

Hi SolMan Experts,
I am working in an SAP implementation project, which is in its project planning phase.
Since i am new to Solman ,i have few things in my mind to clear.
How is Solman used while Implementation ?
Can Solman store multiple project docs centrally in 1 server ? Can it have a link to other SAP
systems ?
In post-implementation support activity ,can we log problems in Solman for getting solutions
directly from SAP support ? If yes then how it is done ?
Can we apply new patches directly from SAP market place into multiple SAP systems linked to
SolMan?
Thank your for your answers.
These will help me while using SolMan in our project.
Thanks and Regards,
Umesh Karane.
Mobile - 98196 25133.Hi Umesh,
How is Solman used while Implementation ?*
During implementation you can use projects to manage your implementation.
solar_project_admin -> To create projects
You can use it build blueprint of the project and basing on the blue print you can configure the target system.
SOLAR01 - Blue printing SOLAR02 - Configuration.
for more information please check http://help.sap.com/saphelp_sm40/helpdata/en/9a/90b441b60e3331e10000000a155106/content.htm
Once the blueprint is in place you can configure Business Process Monitoring later on this blue print during support.
Can Solman store multiple project docs centrally in 1 server ?*
You can store all the documentation you create during blue printing in solution manager under project documentation.
Can it have a link to other SAP
It can connect to target system which is to be configured ( After configuring some RFCs) .
If this doesnot answer your question please explain what you are looking for ?
In post-implementation support activity ,can we log problems in Solman for getting solutions*
directly from SAP support ? If yes then how it is done ?
The support messages raised in satellite systems will be created in Solution manager once you configure support desk and there is automated workflow through which you can send messages to SAP and you can get the replies of SAP in solution manager itself.
for more info please look at http://help.sap.com/saphelp_sm40/helpdata/en/ff/6ea7a870ac469ea54cedd12666cc5d/content.htm
Can we apply new patches directly from SAP market place into multiple SAP systems linked to
Now you can only download the Support packs once you approve them through Maintenance Optimizer. After approving you still need to download through Download manager and apply them in systems. It is not handled by solution manager.
you can appy notes through SNOTE in all system through solutioin manager. You need to select the system where you want to apply from solution manager itself and it will apply that note in that system.
The complete documentation of Solution Manager 4.0 can be accessed at http://help.sap.com/saphelp_sm40/helpdata/en/45/51fbdbd4941803e10000000a1553f7/frameset.htm

Integration Solution manager with R/3
Hi,
We are looking for possibilities to implement Solution manager as a replacement for our current notification system.
Is there any possibility in Solution manager to communicatie with objects in R/3?
What we want is to post hours in Solution manager on notifications/incidents/service request (or whatever you call it) with a direct link to an Order or Project in R/3? Is this possible?
thanks for your information.Hi
its seems what you are talkng about is change management and moreover integration with service desk
what happens?
a problem occurs in R/3 for e.g with a report or alv output needs to be modified...end userr raises ticket in R/3
a servic desk ticket created in solman
now the help or support team raises a change request and then a change developer log from solman to r/3 dev environ to work
and later on with solman change management workflow it goes till PRD where end user test
i hope this is what you want or looking for ..
