Solution Manager - Creating Reference System

0 Kudos

Hello All,

We want to prepare a pre-configured Solution Manager system where most of the services available on Solution manager eg. CHARM, Requirement management , Test Management and ITSM etc. would be preconfigured.

As we know Solution manager is a Dual Stack (ABAP and JAVA based). Would it be possible to export the DB (which is ASE ) and later import the DB in the different setup to replicate all the changes ?  Part of the steps can be post- processed or post configured , idea is to get 80 % of the system prepared and replicate the system configurations so that we can save efforts for customers.

Do you see any technical limitations in this approach for system configuration and replication ? Do you think this approach is viable for system re-use for different customers ?

Regards,

Hi,

It might be feasible, but effort is almost same or more if we compae the approach of keeping 2 solution manager system in place one as Dev and One as PRD, just transporting the changes from Dev To PRD.

Almost 80% of charm and ITSM configurations are transportable, DB export indeed nt reduce any effor of charm, in this case this is considered to be change of IP or solution manager migration while charm. might be test management and document management DB export would help, but again assignment of logical components to each Transaction step is seems to rework, project import would make it much easier in this case. even if you do DB export also either or the way you need to rerun the managed system configurations, in this case export DB would be additional effort.

keep it simple of maintaining one DEV and one PRD. keep Dev as test environment or reference environment, this could make all easier,

Thanks and Best regards,

Hello Jansi,

Thanks for your  response. I understand that moving data via Transport and project import works better for DEV - QA - Production landscape of Single Customer.

Idea here is following ... We prepare single system with 80 % configuration in a reference system ABC (Think of it as a TEMPLATE). 

This is preparation step for lets say N different customers (think of  a managed service for many customers)

Now for each of these N customer's we replicate ABC machine configurations by using DB export , Import Mechanism. Advantage here is that Each Customer would start with 80 % ready to use system which replica of our source.

Do you think this is feasible Technically ?
