Hi,

Purpose

The SAP Solution Manager supports you throughout the implementation and operation of

mySAP.com solutions. It is a platform which supports the e-Business solution life-cycle, from

the evaluation thru configuration to production operation. The SAP Solution Manager offers

central access to preconfigured content, tools, and methodology that you can use during the

evaluation and implementation of mySAP.com.

The SAP Solution Manager provides you with:

• Preconfigured content for the evaluation and implementation of e-business solutions

• ASAP methodology for the implementation of e-business solutions

• Tried and tested implementation and test tools, for example, the Implementation Guide

(IMG) or the Test Workbench

The SAP Solution Manager also provides an authoring function that you can use to create

your own project templates for your implementation project. This makes the SAP Solution

Manager an ideal tool for SAP partners and companies involved in global rollouts.

Implementation Considerations

In order to use the SAP Solution Manager, you need certain releases for the systems in your

system landscape. Further information can be found in the note 0420959.

Features

Supports your evaluation and implementation

The SAP Solution Manager supports you during the phases of your evaluation and

implementation. These phases are based on the phases of the Implementation Roadmap for

mySAP.com. You can use the SAP Solution Manager to carry out the following activities

during your evaluation and implementation project:

• Projektvorbereitung [page 23]: Define project and system landscape

• Business Blueprint [page 46]: Evaluate business processes, describe business scenarios

and business processes in Business Blueprint

• Realization [page 61]: Configure, compare and distribute customizing, setup test system,

organize test

The SAP Solution Manager also supports cross-project functions:

• Project Analysis [page 113]

• Call a Roadmap [external] which leads you through a project step by step

In the SAP Solution Manager, you use the functionality of the Knowledge

Warehouse that is delivered along with the SAP Web Application Server. The

SAP Solution Manager will also work if you have already installed a version of the

Knowledge Warehouse. However, this is not a prerequisite for use of the SAP

Solution Manager.

Various user roles are also delivered with the SAP Solution Manager. Project members can

log on to the implementation project using the roles and authorizations assigned to them and

work through their specific project tasks.

Tools to implement mySAP.com and create templates

The SAP Solution Manager offers access to central tools or transactions that you can use to

create and implement your e-business solution, including:

• The Implementation Roadmap [page 17] that leads you through all the phases of the

implementation

• Project Administration [page 23] allows you to manage planning schedules, human

resources and other project data.

• The transaction for definition of your Business Blueprint [page 46] enables you to choose

the business processes you require and set the project scope.

• You can use Business Configuration Sets [external] (BC Sets) to transport documented

preconfiguration into systems.

• The Implementation Guide [external] (IMG) enables you to carry out the Customizing of

the business processes you have selected.

• The Customizing Scout [page 98] lets you compare Customizing in the selected

mySAP.com components with the customizing in SAP R/3.

• Customizing Distribution [page 62] allows you to sychronize customizing performed in the

mySAP.com components with customizing in SAP R/3.

• You can use the Test Workbench to organize tests [page 104] at the end of a project

phase.

• Project Analysis [page 113]

An authoring environment is delivered with the SAP Solution Manager that enables customers

and partners to create their own templates [page 134]. Partners can use the authoring

environment to:

• Enhance the preconfiguration and documentation delivered by SAP with their own

business expertise

• Create their own material for evaluation and implementation, specifically tailored for their

own customers

Customers can use the authoring environment to:

• Save preconfiguration and documentation centrally

• Create a template which they can, for example, pass on to their subsidiaries in a global

rollout scenario.

Functions for operational sites

The SAP Solution Manager also provides services and checks for operational sites. For

further information, refer to the online documentation for these functions.
