Can Co-Exist two CHARM setups for managing an Unique Landscape?

[former_member229542]

Hi Guys

We are actually migrating and Upgrading an existing Solution Manager 7.01 to 7.1

Since we are performing tests on this Sandbox system, we would like to replicate CHARM configuration and execute full integration tests against managed systems.

There is the actual Productive Solution Manager (SSM), which manages an BW Landscape and a ERP Landscape

If we configure CHARM this Sandbox Solution Manager upgraded to 7.1 (SMT), to manage the same actual BW and ERP Landscape, the configuration would be affected on the original Systems?

In other words, Can we have two CHARM Clients (Test and Productive) to manage BW and ERP Landscape without affecting each other configuration

On the Sandbox CHARM, we only want to test configuration and perform a Change Request Cycle only for testing.

Any comments or suggestions would be much appreciated.

Regards!

Hi Martin,

Yes 2 ChaRM projects can coexist, if you use different Logical Components in each. But it is not a good approach. If you plan to test the sandbox then pick a single landscape and try the new ChaRM functionalities there. Or just pick a single system and create 3 different clients and use them as D, Q , and P systems. Something like below;

Hi Vivek, thanks a lot for your help.

I will follow your recommendation of testing BW Landscape and perform CHARM Tests against BW Lanscape

So, the only thing that need to differ, is the Logical Name of the CHARM Project on each Solution Manager.

Thanks!

Yes, Have different projects and different Logical Components. That should enable you to use 2 projects at once. Or the safest approach is test the new SP10 ChaRM on your sandbox solman system itself. Create 3 different clients with different roles (D, Q, P) and perform your testing. This is the best approach of all these methods.

Hi Martin,

Your development solman might not be connected to erp dev qa and prod so you can just create 3 clients within solman to do this or

take a erp sandbox and create 3 clients within it having roles of Dev Qa and Prd like in below blogs
