Benefits

Improved structuring

Structuring your content with folders

dramatically improves the flexibility. You

can perfectly adapt your business

process documentation to your needs,

with as many levels as you like.

Reduced manual work

Automatically filling up libraries saves

manual efforts and speeds up your

solution documentation. This also

ensures a comprehensive and consistent

documentation as all elements are

documented automatically.

Removed Duplicates

By storing elements in separated

libraries, a high amount of

standardization and clear structuring is

achieved. By consequently using

references to the original elements,

duplicates in the process documentation

are needed.

During the content activation process, your existing solution documentation content will be transferred to the new

structures in SAP Solution Manager 7.2. This gives you more flexibility and improved handling in managing your

content.

Define Scope for Content Activation


Define Scope for Content Activation

Solution Documentation: Select Projects and Solutions according to the following criteria

Select projects and solutions that contain valid documentation content reflecting the productive landscape or

ongoing projects

Avoid selecting solutions or projects which contain outdated content

Avoid selecting redundant copies of solution or projects

ChaRM / QGM: Select Projects and Solutions according to the following criteria

Select projects that contain actively used cycles

Options for Content Activation

Choose productive base branch as activation target for content reflecting the productive landscape

Choose a maintenance or development branch target for content corresponding to processes or functions

that are not yet part of the productive landscape

Project / Solution overview report


Cross-Project / solutions overview report

The cross-project / solutions report provides a comprehensive overview to evaluate existing projects.

The report shows a list of projects and solutions with additional information:

Is process documentation included?

Are links to other applications included (ChaRM – open task lists; ITPPM Project, QGM, BP Monitoring)?

Number of assigned roadmaps (for projects)

Number of structure elements

Number of assignments on the tabs

Last change date of a structure element

Last change date of a document

How can I define the perfect scope for the content activation?


Project / solutions overview report

Test Drive the Activation


We’re on a “HIGHWAY TO CAL”

The SAP Solution Manager Team plans to make the 7.2 release available in the SAP Cloud Appliance Library (CAL) as a free demo system at ramp-up start (or earlier)

SAP plans to preload the 7.2 appliance with various sample projects which customers can use for activation

SAP is checking whether customer projects can be uploaded into the appliance

SAP provides the appliance without CAL charges. Customers only need an AWS, Azure or HEC account to test drive the SAP Solution Manager cloud appliance for 30 days.

Just ring the “CAL’s BELLS” and you are “ABOUT TO ROCK” the 7.2 content activation!

Solution Documentation: Tailored to your needs

With SAP Solution Manager 7.2, you can tailor your

Solution Documentation exactly to your needs. For

example, if you do not need full-blown end-to-end process

documentation, you can go ahead with a process step

library.

The general levels are:

Generated Executables Library: SAP Solution

Manager 7.2 will fill up your Exec.Lib. automatically

without any manual effort. It can also generate process

steps for each executable.

Process Step Library: You can manually enrich

process steps with test cases, documents etc. This is

fully sufficient if you want to do functional testing, for

example.

End-to-end business process documentation: Can be

used for full-blown end-to-end testing. A manual

creation implies a higher effort.
