Purpose

Using the SAP Solution Manager for evaluation and implementation (implementation project)

You can use the SAP Solution Manager to evaluate and implement your solution.

Using the SAP Solution Manager to create preconfigured content (templates)

You create a solution with the SAP Solution Manager, which serves as a template for your implementation project. The template contains reusable preconfigured contents (documentation, preconfiguration, and test cases/business test requirements). The following section only describes the typical process flow of an implementation project. See Using a Template for more information on creating preconfigured content and templates.

Process Flow

...

       1.      The Roadmaps contain information and procedures for all phases of your project.

In the SAP Solution Manager, you use the functionality of the Knowledge Warehouse that is delivered with the SAP Web Application Server. The SAP Solution Manager will also work with an already-installed version of the Knowledge Warehouse, although this is not a prerequisite for use of the SAP Solution Manager.

       2.      Your real work with the SAP Solution Manager begins after the evaluation phase. The first step is to define your project in the Solution Manager:

                            a.      You enter administrative data in the Project Administration transaction, for example, details of project dates and resources.

                            b.      Specify the Project Scope.

                            c.      Define the System Landscape for the implementation of your solution.

       3.      You define a Business Blueprint by documenting the organizational units, master data, business scenarios and business processes you require for the implementation of your solution. During the Business Blueprint definition, you read the documentation supplied by SAP and partners, create your own project documentation, and assign individual process steps to transactions (only if you use SAP Quality Center by HP).

       4.      From the Solution Manager, Configure your business scenarios in the development systems.

       5.      You check the test cases delivered with your solution and assign further Test cases to processes and process steps.

       6.      You perform consistency checks for the customizing of your business processes with the Customizing Scout, i.e. you check whether the Customizing is the same in the various application components. You synchronize customizing with the Customizing Distribution.

       7.      You can organize tests. You can reuse the test cases selected during configuration.

If you use the SAP Quality Center by HP, you organize the tests with it and use the test cases which you assigned to the business test requirements in it.

       8.      You create training material and learning maps (computer-supported self-learning courses) to train the end users.

●        You can analyze your project at any time, to determine its status and the progress made in testing or configuration.

●        You can show and hide tabs in the Business Blueprint and the Configuration, in the user settings.
