Lotus Notes documents migration into Solution Manager

Former Member

We have been using Lotus notes application for maintaining only documentation in our landscape. But now, the plan is to move all the documentation from Lotus notes to SAP Solution Manager and use it as a document management system from now....

Could anyone please answer the following queries:

1) Does LSX environment help/enhance the migration ?. If not, are there any tools/accelerators/functions/automatic methods for mas uploading?

2) This documentation is not project specific documentation. Where do you think this must go in Solution Manager?

In the custom area of BPR?. If yes, please do let me know the procedure for the same.

3) Would it be possible to link the documents to functional domains/ business scenarios/ business processes in the BPR?

4) Lotus notes provides access to all the versions (Draft/Approved/Reviewed) of a document. Would it be possible to have the same features even in Solution Manager?

5) What all document types does Solution Manager recognize?.

I think the Lotus notes documents can be converted to 'Word' format and then put in Solution Manager. Besides this, is there any other common format which is recognized by both the tools?

6) Standard SAP Solution manager does not provide indexed search. So, in order to retrieve a document later what indexing nomenclature/guidelines do you recommend?

Has anyone done/faced with this kind of requirement. The idea now is to use Solution manager as a document management system. The efforts/process/timelines information if already known would be of great help to start with for us....

Could you also provide the trade offs b/n Solution Manager and SAP knowledge warehouse (KW)?

Hoping for some replies ...

we also had the same requirement to migration from LN to SolMan Documentation base but there is no such tool (yet?)

What you can do you can migrate from any ARIS like platform to SolMan:

http://en.sap.info/ids-scheer-announces-migration-program-to-aris-platform/4058

You do have versioning in SolMan and you can upload any kind of document via SOLAR01

regarding the indexing you can either use SAP SES or connect TREX, this is documented in the customizing (SPRO)

TREX will also be the prerequisite to make use of KM in SolMan

Hi Nesimi,

If a document is uploaded into SOLAR01 then it becomes project specific documentation but I strongly feel that these documents should go into the BPR (custom area). Please comment....

Could you please share your lesson's learnt or experiences from that project at prasadtsnATgmailDOTcom.

Those might be of great value to us.
