Project Management using Solution Manager

[Former Member]

Hi,

We are trying to use solution Manager for managing our IT projects - specifically for SAP projects.

We browsed through the existing functionalities that are available and are not able to get info on the following:

___Project Admin tab for Roadmaps :_ __ In the transaction RMMAIN, we are able to define the scope of the activities at each phase and assign team members and track the status of the activity / task.

However we do not have the tab for tracking the planned start date / end date and the actual start / end dates. Similar is the case for efforts.

So not sure how to track these?

Integration of Roadmaps and Blueprints : Once we have defined the project and assigned the Roadmap, we have all the activities that need to be tracked. In addition in transaction SOLAR01 / SOLAR02, we can define the scope and configurations which in itself are a kind of sub projects to be embedded withing the Blueprint and realization phases respectively of the main Projetc Plan.

How to link these Blueprint specific plan and the realization related plan to the main project plan created out of the Roadmap chosen and to track them as one single project?

Synchronization wih ms project : I see only the option to download the plan as an mpp file. But is there any option to upload mpp as well so that the project can be tracked using mpp and synchronized with Solution manager at frequent intervals?

Your answers would definitely be helping us a lot and would be greatly appreciated.

thanks in advance.

thanks Alagammai for the info. This is useful.

Though it did not solve my problem, at least I know that this are something that are not possible within SOlution Manager.

And in fact we had already started looking at the integration of Solution Manager with cProjects based on the note "Note 978997 - Configuration Content for cProjects".

However if you have any documentation specific to the Integration of cProjects with Solution Manager, it would be really helpful.

thanks and regards,
