How to mass replace logical component group in solution documentation

Former Member — Thu, 19 Jan 2017 14:41:19 GMT

Hi there!

I need to replace the logcial component group in a few hundred executables in solution documentation of Solution Manager 7.2 but cannot find any function to do so.

Any idea?

Cheers!

Hi Ulrich,

there is no way to do this in 7.20. There should be no need for replacing logical components. Can you give me some background?

Kind Regards

In our situation we have initially created LCG with a specific naming convention but we want to replace that with a new LCG with a naming convention that is more understandable for our end users to select when creating solution documentation.

Both LCG contain the same technical systems.

Hi there,

it is finally possible to mass change the LCG.

Just go to list view in SOLDOC mark the process steps you want to change.

Switch to edit mode and change the LCG.

Cheers!

It is possible when the logical component is not part of a unique key. This is the case with stepsm but not with most executables. You cannot change the LCG of a transaction.

What K. Lai is looking for is more a renaming of LCGs. This would be possbile if testing wouldn't be involved. The problem with testing is, that in a Test Data Container the LCG name is stored instead of the LCG GUID like everywhere else. LCGs have a GUID as internal ID just as solutions and branches to be able to rename them. A conversion exit displays the name at the UI but on the database there is a GUID. However Test Data Containers store the name instead of the GUID. So it is not possible to rename an LCG without getting inconsistent Test Data Containers. Therfore we had to remove the renaming functionality from SOLDOC UI.

Hi Andreas

I am working on a scenario where landscapes are changed (after Content Activation) due to the client deciding to split the business into regions, each responsible for running 'their own' SAP environment, meaning we have to 'unscramble' the SAP omelette. The SAP DMLT team will handle the ERP systems split, but managing Solution Manager throughout this process is not well documented.

One of the issues we're facing (having chosen to stay with a single 'Solution' for now), is that all the processes in one part of the business are pointing to the wrong Logical Component Group. (We had to create a separate LCG, else the change Control Landscape in ChaRM couldn't be isolated). We chose to stay with one 'Solution', because we needed to use the Processes (the old Project Blueprint structure) in Test Management.

I am working on a document that describes the "Practical Implications of the 'Solution Design' is version 7.2", but it's a work in progress and ready for general distribution yet. I would love to hear you views on some of these aspects.

Regards, Rob

Hi Rob,
for this setup you can create a site for each business region in SOLADM. Than you can use the same logical component group for each site but assign site specific systems to it.

Hi Andreas
We tried that, but it turns out that we then couldn't use Test Management, as Test Suite doesn't support testing by site (in SP05 anyway) yet.

I haven't yet found the one solution that works for Test Management, ChaRM and SolDoc - so far I have found a solution that works for each component in isolation.
Kind regards, Rob

Hi Rob,

as of SP07 also Test Management fully supports sites. You can create test plans per site.

Kind Regards
Andreas

Hi,

Can anybody confirm if this functionality is available now?

Thanks

Hi Andreas,

As mentioned by K.Lai, creating a different logical component with right naming convention can be one of the use cases. Is there a way to do it?

thanks & best regds,
