Hi everyone,
how can I add a 3rd party non-SAP system to a Solution Manager SOLAR project for use with ChaRM General Changes?
The situation so far:
We are already using ChaRM for our SAP landscape successfully (with Urgent and Normal Changes).
Now we want to use the General Change for some of our 3rd party non-SAP applications (without transport management). I couldn't find any documentation on this topic and it is not working out of the box.
What I did so far:
- in SLD configuration
- created a new custom product/software component version in SLD
- in transaction LMDB
- created a new technical system,
- created a new product system
- created a new logical component
- assigned all these and the custom product from sld
- with transaction IB_GEN / IB52
- generated new IBase component
- and edited the description
In ChaRM component selection the new IBase components are visible when adding a new change AND no solar project is assigned.If I assign a project first, the components won't appear in the search help.
I already tried to add the new defined logical component in SOLAR_PROJECT_ADMIN for the specific project. But I cannot find the logical component in the search dialog - most likely because it is not assigned to one of the valid SAP software product components. Also when I look for the new product (system) in SMSY I cannot find it. When I use the "chosse object" dialog and select my new "product system" there is an error message: "The product system has no valid product assignment."
What to do now?
- How to adjust the system/product configuration in LMDB / SLD?
- How to add the logical component to the SOLAR / ChaRM project in SOLAR_PROJECT_ADMIN?
- When added, do I have have to check the mark "relevant for changes" in SOLAR_PROJECT_ADMIN for the logical component?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks in advance and best regards,
Stefan
