Implementation project - ChaRM configuration

Former Member — Wed, 28 Mar 2012 05:54:50 GMT

Hi Expert,

I need some clarification,

if it possible to configure ChaRM for Dev-> QAS -> virtual PRD system.

Because currently PRD system in bulid state.Client expect to configure ChaRM for implementation phase for QAT testing.

So we have only Dev and QAS system in landscape.PRD bulit take some time to bulid.

So we are planning to configure ChaRM through Dev-> QAS -> virtual PRD system.it will work?

Please sugguset your comment for virtual PRD system use.

Rg,

Karthik

Hi,

Why not go for two tier landscape and use CHARM. It will work too.

You will need to modify for the ToC to not move into QAS directly when RD is in "in testing". This is explained under SAP note 1419150.

SAP note 1690362 also

KK.

Hi Karthik,

You can always add a new system to existing task list. Once your Prod build is done then include the system in the current tasklist.This is possible

Hi Karthik,

yes, it is possible to define a landscape DEV - QAS - virtual PRD

In transaction smsy define PRD system as virtual. Later on you can change this setting.

Please pay attention that you define the transport routes correctly. The transport buffer of the virtual system (Prod) should have the name, which will be used later on.

Best regards

@ Horst - Thanks for Update.

@Vivek - one more doubt, already if i created tasklist with Dev -> QAS -> PRD .

if i want to add any new system between the tasklist, ex: Pre-Production

Dev -> QAS -> Pre- PRD -> PRD it is possibe in same tasklist?

Also any constrain like implementation project or support project for new system addition?

Karthik

The type of project does not influence on system addition.

You can define the System Role while adding a new system. ( pre prod, retrofit....etc)

Hi Vivek,

Thanks for Update.

Before adding the system in tasklist.

Add the system in Transport route and Logical component ?

hi,

for adding additional system into the existing landscape, yes, you need to adjust your transport route and logical component.

but if you are adjusting project where charm already activated, you have to close the active maintenance cycle

please read the question no 6,
