Hi Bhaskar,

If, by the term "Phase 2", a new rollout or a new implementation is meant, I would even question as to why you are aiming to store documents in the same Project.

Ideally, 1 Implementation is meant to store documents belonging to one life-cycle (Project Prep -> Blueprint -> Realisation -> Final Prep -> Go Live).

For the 2nd Implementation, you should ideally opt for a fresh implementation project.

If, the 1st project has a lot of documents in common with 2nd, you have a few options. The simplest of them being to 'copy' project 1 into project 2 - and make some house keeping, to retain only what you need.

This is a major area of discussion, debate and finalisation. My views here are merely to raise some questions you should look into.

Regards,

Srini

Hi Bhaskar,

Assuming you have full authorisations, the procedure is simple.

Please go SOLAR_PROJECT_ADMIN transaction.

From the menu please select Project -> Copy

In the ensuing screen, key in your desired project name, scroll through the other checkboxes to see if you are happy with the default choices; if not, take corrective actions.

In the last set of radi buttons "Desired behaviour at later version comparison", the default choice (2nd entry there - Adjust target project to the original of the source project) is fine.

From your scenario, since you do not have a Template -> Implementation Project functionality and instead are copying from one Implementation to the other, this radio button is of little consequence.

Execute the process.

In the window that comes up, please choose Local Object, assuming that you do not want to capture the whole contents into a 'Transport'. This is more required if you are aiming to copy the project from one SolMan instance to another.

It would give an information message "Generating in batch job (Name ......)

In a few minutes, you'd receive an intimation of the Project being copied.

That's pretty much about it. Have a check on the newly created project in SOLAR01.

Please let me know if you have any doubts.

Best regards,

Hi Srini

I was able to copy the Structure as per u r procedure. Can please tell me can i create new structure as per the below reuirements? and please tell me how we can create and upload the documents for the copied project ?

The modules that will be addressed for the Phase 2 are as follows

1. Compensation planning

2. Job catalogues

3. e-Recruiting

Graduates Program

4. HR Admin Portal

5. Admin Re & Pro Insurance migration

- Migration of employee data

- Payroll and other processes

6. Payroll

7. Succession planning

7. System Decommissioning

- Global Data Warehouse

- Executrac

Few things to be taken care of:

a. One or more of these modules would already be present in the Phase 1. We will NOT recreate it.

b. We will create Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3 etc folders under each of these modules and add the respective documents to those Phases respectively.

Thanks for your help
