1 Solution Overview

SAP IT Portfolio and Project Management rapid-deployment solution version 2.60 Is based on SAP Portfolio and Project Management 6.0

Provides an accelerated deployment of the required configuration settings Supports the following processes:

o K20 - IT Portfolio Management & Monitoring without Project Management o K21 - IT Project Management (without ERP integration)

o K22 - IT Portfolio Management & Monitoring and IT Project Management (without ERP integration)

o K23 - IT Portfolio Management & Monitoring and IT Project Management (with ERP integration)

o K24 - IT Project Management (with ERP integration) Provides “out of the box” integration to ERP for project accounting.

For processes with ERP Integration (K23 and K24):

In general we assume that the customer has a running ERP installation ECC 6.0 EhP7, which forms the basis for the ERP part of this package. Controlling Area, Company Code, Cost elements, mini-master HR are required in the corresponding ERP backend system to complete the Business Processes.

Since this package only covers the implementation of SAP IT Portfolio and Project Management and the integration with SAP Controlling and /or SAP Project System, core ERP functions need to be implemented upfront.

The SAP Best Practices Baseline Packages can be used to run the core business scenarios that support the most important business needs.

For an overview of the rapid-deployment solution, refer to the Solution Details Presentation in the step-by-step guide (phase Start: Prepare Project).

2 System Setup & Preparation

Prior to installing and activating an SAP Best Practices package (SAP BP package), the target SAP Application Server (AS) must be installed together with the Support Package Stack (SPS) specified in this section.

Additionally, the SAP Notes named in the SAP Notes and Messages section in this guide must be implemented.

2.1 Release and Support Package Level

The deliverables of SAP Best Practices packages were developed and tested in a system landscape with specific release and support package (SPS) level. If the SPS level in your system is different, there may be errors during the activation. You may be able to perform the activation activities manually using the configuration guides, but errors may still occur.

Make sure that your system meets the minimum SPS level requirements. In case your system has an exceptional SPS level compared to the SAP Best Practices requirements, only limited support can be provided.

If you need a higher SPS level in your system, for example, because of additional functionality, first import and activate the SAP Best Practices package on the SPS levels as mentioned below, then update your system to the target SPS level.

The support package levels relevant for the solution package are listed together with the required components in the Required Product Versions and Software Components section.

Receiving the Software at the Correct SP Level

For delivery of the software, an installation number and a corresponding license agreement are required. An S-USER is required to order software in the Software Catalog or download from the SAP Software Download Center (SWDC) on SAP Service Marketplace (SMP). You can only order unrestricted SAP software. Contact the SAP contract department to ask for a physical shipment or create a customer message on component XX-SER-GEN-CONTR.

For downloading SPSs, use the Maintenance Optimizer in your SAP Solution Manager system. You can also select relevant SPSs manually one-by-one via the SWDC on SAP Service Marketplace:

https://service.sap.com/swdc Support Packages and Patches A-Z Index

Only the current Service Release (SR) is delivered to SAP customers/partners via the SWDC on SMP and standard delivery (for example, the Software Catalogue). If you encounter the situation that the required SPS for correct SAP BP packages activation is based on a SPS level LOWER than the current Service Release, the request for the necessary SPS is handled by a customer message. For details, see SAP Note

925690 Standard Ordering Procedures for SAP Software.

2.2.1 SAP Portfolio and Project Management 6.0

SAP Portfolio and Project Management 6.0 is the core component of this package and it is supported on top of SAP NetWeaver 7.4.

(10)

© SAP AG Page 10 of 59 The SAP IT Portfolio and Project Management rapid-deployment solution can be implemented standalone as add-on on HANA-enabled server with SAP NetWeaver 7.40, without the need to integrate into ERP and/or Enterprise Portal.

The following scenarios are standalone scenarios without ERP Integration: o K20 - IT Portfolio Management & Monitoring without Project Management o K21 - IT Project Management (without ERP integration)

o K22 - IT Portfolio Management & Monitoring and IT Project Management (without ERP integration)

For more information about required support packages for SAP Portfolio and Project Management 6.0, see SAP Note 1826383.

2.2.2 EhP7 for SAP ERP 6.0

The SAP IT Portfolio and Project Management rapid-deployment solution can also be implemented integrated with ECC 6.0 EhP7.

The following scenarios require the ERP Integration:

o K23 - IT Portfolio Management & Monitoring and IT Project Management (with ERP integration)

o K24 - IT Project Management (with ERP integration)

It is assumed that the customer has been using an existing SAP ECC system on release level SAP ECC 6.0 to manage projects with a WBS structure or an Internal Order.

2.3 SAP Frontend Components

Frontend Requirements for Portfolio and Project Management 6.0 are consolidated in SAP Note

1826387

Supported Frontends for Portfolio and Project Management User Interface

Browser: within the Browser either the Enterprise Portal or NetWeaver Business Client for HTML can be used

Users can access SAP Portfolio and Project Management using SAP NetWeaver Business Client or the SAP NetWeaver Portal. In the latter case it is assumed that the customer has an existing SAP NetWeaver Portal already in place.

When you use SAP Portfolio and Portfolio Management 6.0 in SAP NetWeaver Portal, ensure that the protocol used by SAP Portfolio and Project Management to access the portal and the protocol used by the Portal to access back-end system is the same. For example, if you use HTTPS for the Portal, you must use HTTPS for SAP Portfolio and Project Management.

SAP Netweaver Business Client for Desktop (Version 3.5 and 4.0)

SAP Front-End GUIs: SAP Front-End GUI required for customizing activities and for screens which can be called via integration

Acrobat Reader: Acrobat Reader required for printing, status reports, approval documents; requires installation of Adobe Document Server

Patches Browse our Download Catalog SAP Frontend Components

2.3.1 Java runtime environment (JRE)

The Timeline Monitor and the Portfolio Structure Graphic of Portfolio Management is

implemented by a Web Dynpro ABAP control which uses an internal Java applet, for which you have to make the settings described below

Procedure

1. Install a Java runtime environment (JRE or Java plug-in) on the local PC

We recommend that you use the latest version of the Java plug-in. We also recommend that you install the latest version of the applet, which can be found in SAP Note 1035436

2. After updating the applet, make sure that the cache of the JRE is reset (see SAP Note

1014150).

The Java runtime environment has a fixed memory size which cannot be increased during runtime. This can cause OutOfMemory exceptions when working with the graphical view

2.4 SAP Solution Manager and SAP Solution Manager

Content Add-on

For the implementation of the solution package, a SAP Solution Manager system is recommended.

SAP Solution Manager in general is needed for installation and managing of maintenance certificates, Enhancement Packages and upgrades. In the context of SAP Rapid-Deployment solutions, implementation content is delivered via SAP Solution Manager templates.

Please be aware that SAP Portfolio and Project Management is also delivered with the SAP Solution Manager stack. However, this is independent from the usage of SAP Solution Manager as a tool for RDS implementations. See also SAP Note 1968343

It is assumed that a productive SAP Solution Manager system is available in the customer’s system landscape: if the customer is already using other SAP products (for example, SAP ERP) SAP Solution Manager should already be present in the system landscape.

Import the following content Add-on corresponding to the SAP Solution Manager product version in place:

https://service.sap.com/swdc Installations and Upgrades Search for Installations and

Upgrades Search term: BP-ERP 617 or BP-CANW 740 or BP-SOLBLD

Regular Updates Technical Environment

The technical add-ons provided by SAP Best Practices form the technical environment required for the automated implementation of your SAP Best Practices version with solution builder. This technical framework is continuously updated providing enhanced, fixed, or additional technical objects required for the technical implementation process. SAP Best Practices therefore offers updated versions of the add-ons on a regular basis. Each updated add-on replaces the previous version in your system. For more information about the currently available versions of the add-on ERP and the add-on

BP-SOLBLD, see SAP Note 1301301 (see also section SAP Notes and Messages of this document.)

Since the solution scope file and the most current installation data files always

correspond to the current technical add-ons, you always have to ensure the system is at the current versions before you start the technical implementation of the SAP Best Practices version.

The update of the technical framework has no impact on scope or business content of your SAP Best Practices version as it is described in the respective documentation.

2.6 General Client Settings

After you have set up the required system(s), make the following settings to enable automatic or manual content activation.

Client Roles:

The system must not comprise any clients with the role productive client. If the system contains a productive client, BC sets cannot be activated as required. As a consequence, the automatic activation of SAP Best Practices content using SAP Best Practices solution builder is not possible, because BC sets cannot be activated in a productive system.

To check and maintain the settings of clients in your system, use transaction SCC4. Changes and Transport for Client-specific Objects:

To activate a SAP Best Practices packages, an automatic recording of changes is required. To ensure that all the changes are automatically recorded in a change request, in the Changes and Transport for Client-specific Objects group box, choose Automatic recording of Changes.

Cross-client Object Changes:

During the activation of an SAP Best Practices package cross-client objects are created. Cross-client functions include all cross-client customizing objects (for example, factory calendar, definition of price list conditions, printer controls) and all objects of the SAP Repository (for example, reports, module pools, screens, dictionary and so on).

To enable changes to cross-client objects, in the Cross-Client Object Changes group box, choose Changes to Repository and Cross-client Customizing allowed.

In case you have not allowed changes to Repository and cross-client Customizing, you will be asked during the activation of the package if these settings should be done automatically by solution builder. If you reject the required changes the activation cannot be executed automatically.

2.9 Creating a User for Activation of SAP Best Practices

Content

Use

In this activity, you create a user to run the activation of the related SAP Best Practices scope.

We recommend using only one User ID to activate the SAP Best Practices content. Thus you avoid changing ownership during the activation of the solution.

SAP does not supply separate Customizing or setup roles (according to the security guideline). Instead, use the functions provided in Role Maintenance (transaction PFCG). In the Role Maintenance, you can define a role corresponding to your individual IMG project with all the authorizations you need to access the IMG activities required for the SAP Best Practices scope. For more information about defining a role for a Customizing project, see the documentation for transaction PFCG.

Alternatively you can use the authorization profile SAP_ALL and remove the profile after activation. If this authorization does not apply to your authorization concept, you should restrict the rights of the user according to your internal authorization

guidelines. Without the profile SAP_ALL, issues may occur during the activation which must be solved.

If authorization issues occur during activation you can use transaction SU53 to get information on the missing authorizations and extend the authorization data as necessary.

Procedure

1. To carry out the activity, choose one of the following navigation options:

SAP Menu Tools Administration User Maintenance Users Transaction Code SU01

2. On the User Maintenance: Initial Screen, in the User field, enter the User ID and choose Create.

3. Choose the Address tab. 4. Make the following entries:

Field Name User Action and Values Note

Last name <Last name of the user> First name <First name of the user> 5. Choose the Logon Data tab.

6. Make the following entries:

Field Name User Action and Values Note

Password <initial password>

User type Dialog

7. Choose the Defaults tab. 8. Make the following entries:

Field Name User Action and Values Note

Logon language EN

Decimal notation 1.234.567,89 Date format DD.MM.YYYY

(17)

© SAP AG Page 17 of 59 Output Device <your printer name>

9. Choose the Roles tab and enter the user role you created that contains the necessary authorization profile.

Alternatively you can assign the profile SAP_ALL on the Profiles tab. Make sure that this profile corresponds to your internal security guidelines.

11. Save your entries.

Result

You have created the user to activate SAP Best Practices content.

Repeat the steps above for all systems and clients you use. Make sure that you always create the same user in all systems and clients.

Directly after activation of the SAP Best Practices content, remove the authorizations you have given to the system user that has performed the activation steps. Thus you avoid that the system user misuses the authorizations granted before.

2.10 Preparation of Logical Components Used in

SAP Solution Manager Implementation Project

This solution package is designed for a specific system landscape that is represented by its logical components. By preparing and mapping the logical components to the actual physical systems in the landscape it enables you to configure the systems directly using SAP Solution Manager.

The logical component in SAP Solution Manager is an identifier provided by SAP for the

combination of product and product version. When selecting the SAP Solution Manager template later on, the logical component provided by SAP will automatically be mapped with the logical component in the customer system landscape with the same combination of product and product version to set up access from SAP Solution Manager to the correct customer system.

Make the following entries (IT administrators, using transaction SMSY): Delivered Logical

Component

Product Product Version Product Instance Logical Component (Customer Namespace) <Choose a name>, for example, ERP60_EHP7_CE NTRAL_APPLICAT ION SAP ERP ENHANCE PACKAGE

EHP7 FOR SAP ERP 6.0 [Central Applications] <Choose a name> <Choose a name>, for example, PORTF_PROJ_MG MT60_PPMNW740 SAP PORTF AND PROJ MANAGEMENT SAP PORTF AND PROJ MGMT 6.0

[Portf and Proj Mgmt NW7.40]

<Choose a name>

2.11 Creating Transport Requests for Activation

(18)

© SAP AG Page 18 of 59 The activation users created in the preceding section require a workbench and a customizing request for running the activation using SAP Best Practices solution builder.

You can create transport requests during activation. However, if the activation user is not allowed to create own requests, the system administrator must create these requests in advance and they can be assigned during activation.

For manual activation (see section Manual Implementation), the system administrator must also create the transport requests manually.

Creating a Workbench / Customizing Request

1. To carry out the activity, choose one of the following navigation options:

SAP Menu Tools Administration Transports Transport Organizer Transaction Code SE01

2. On the Transport Organizer (Extended View) screen, choose the Transport tab and choose the Create button.

3. In the Create Request dialog window, choose one of the following options: For a Customizing Request Customizing request

4. Choose Enter.

5. In the Create Request dialog window, enter a Short Description. 6. Save your entries.

7. Repeat from the step 3 for the Workbench request creation.

Result

You have created a workbench and a customizing request to activate the solution content.

Repeat the steps above for all systems and clients you use. If required assign the requests to the relevant activation users.

2.12 Deselecting Activation Links in BC Sets

We recommend that you turn off the creation of activation links for BC sets. By doing this, you can significantly increase activation speed and avoid errors.
