Catalyst SAP Implementation Overview

Business Requirements Following business requirements to support Catalyst Team Project: Ability to support concurrent Development and Testing Streams Environment and processes must support an aggressive and dynamically changing deployment schedule Ability to support Rollouts as well as Functional Releases Reliable Production Support Stream Goals to be Achieved Improve quality of development, test and migration process Reduce Production Freeze Window Effective use of landscape Improve cycle times for cutover process Key Decisions Business requirements drive all other decisions Business requirements for Select Global Landscape Single Versus Multiple Development and Test Environments (other than Production Support) Use of BCV or similar rapid replication technology for Production Support and Next Wave Testing

Catalyst SAP Implementation Landscape Dynamics Deployment Basics

Deployment Basics - Definitions Functional Releases Introduces new SAP/business process functionality, or major rework of business process functionality during a future deployment Rollout Releases Deploys functionality that already exists in Production Stream to new locations. Examples: bring new plants online. Primary changes that will occur during Rollout releases include additional master and transactional data, new user population, and possible minor adjustments to configuration to add plant specific configuration data. All changes related to Rollout Releases should originate in the Production Support Stream, and will be manually migrated to all streams below. Technical Maintenance Releases Typically encompasses software upgrades to the SAP software, operating system, database or significant bolt-on tools. Whenever possible, upgrade releases should not be combined with functional releases during cutover activities. Upgrade changes should be introduced prior to the start of Integration test. Introduction of upgrade releases requires full regression test, and must be carefully planned to minimize business impact and delays in deployment schedule. Upgrade Releases - Require expansion of the traditional landscape to include following systems: 1) Full copy of production for test upgrades, Full up-to-date separate copy of Development system to be upgraded, and to apply fixes prior to Production upgrade, full Production copy Test system for regression testing prior to actual production upgrade. Production Break/Fix Encompasses pre-approved fixes to production-related problems

Small SAP implementation project consists of three environments

Development Environment All configurations and custom developments are conducted in this environment This environment is the owner of configuration and custom development. Maintains version history of configuration and custom development Not refreshed from any other environments Quality Assurance & Test Environment Configuration and custom development are integration tested in this environment End user training can be conducted in a separate training client Production Environment Production environment consists of a single client

Catalyst SAP Implementation


A very large SAP implementation project such as CATALYST, consists of more environments depending on business requirements

Sandbox Environment

Used early in the project during the blue-print phase for a demonstration Used by technical team to test OS, Database, and SAP Patches without affecting other environment and production support Used by business teams to test special proto-types without affecting development support Typically refreshed from other environments like Dev/QAT/Prod All configurations and custom developments are conducted here This is the owner of configuration and custom development. Maintains version history of configuration and custom development Not refreshed from other environments Configuration and custom development are integration tested here Typically refreshed from Production environment to allow testing with production data Production cut-over timing and load testing are conducted here Used as a stand by production environment for DR and also for volume/stress testing Multiple End user classroom training is conducted here Trained users can practice here in a practice client prior to go live These environments provide development/test capabilities to troubleshoot production problems; any changes made to the production fix dev system are manually repeated in Project Development landscape Production environment consists of a single client

Catalyst SAP Implementation


When do I need each environment?

Sandbox environment Implemented at the beginning of blueprint phase to demonstrate, and use it as a reference Development environment Implemented prior to implementation phase Quality Assurance Test environment Prior to integration test for testing end to end business processes Typically 2~3 months after implementation starts and depends on project schedule Training environment At least a couple of months prior to go-live in order to train end users Regression environment At least a couple of months prior to go-live to complete data data-loads, load-test, technical testing, etc. Production Fix (Dev & QA) environment At least a couple of weeks prior to go-live to complete landscape setup and complete the cut-over transport methodology Production environment At least a couple of months prior to go-live to complete installations, high availability and other technical infrastructure validations.

Catalyst SAP Implementation What is our client strategy for dev

A client is a container for segmenting data within the ECC application itself. It is a self-contained unit of separate master records and with its own sets of data.

A user or developer can log in to a specific client, which is a totally separate data environment.
Theory: Keep it simple there is only one client in PROD so keep everyone working in the same environment as much as possible.

Catalyst SAP Implementation


Clients in DEV Environment

Prototype Configuration client will be used by the business process team for initial configuration work. It will contain some master data to allow configuration prototype development. On request this client may get refreshed via client copy of Unit Test client. Work done in this client will not be recorded and must be entered in the Configuration client manually. Client independent work will not be allowed in this client. Golden client for business process teams to enter master Gold configuration manually after it has been entered and tested in Prototype Configuration Client. It will contain some master data to allow configuration work but entered configuration will not be tested in this client. All changes will be recorded and all customization transports will originate from this client.
Unit Test client for unit testing of configuration entered in the Configuration client. For unit testing, desired configuration request will be copied from Configuration client into this client via SCC1 without releasing the configuration request. No changes will be allowed in this client. Development client for ABAP development work. Developed objects in this client will be cross-client and will be available to all clients. All development changes will be recorded and all workbench transports will originate from this client. Security client for Security Authorization development without effecting other development clients

Catalyst SAP Implementation


mySAP Development System

Business Process Teams perform initial configuration work in Prototype Configuration client. To allow testing of the configuration, this client contains required master data thus allowing Business Process Teams to fine tune configuration. However, work done in this client is not recorded by the system.

Development

90 Prototype Configuration

Catalyst SAP Implementation <ProtoType client 090> Validation

This client is for exercising / sandboxing configuration solutions. All config setup has to be prototyped in this client Configuration activities for this environment are not done thru Solution Manager. SPRO is not accessible from this client. In order to do the configuration you must go to the TCode directly. No changes will be recorded in this system. Therefore, no transports will be generated from this environment. This environment will be refreshed periodically from 100 (The Unit Test Client) to keep the information current. (tbd:frequency)

New team members coming on board to Catalyst should be given at a minimum display access to this environment first.

Catalyst SAP Implementation <Seucrity Client 800> Security

This client is for prototyping security roles that would be done in ECC only.

Security team will be the only ones with access to this environment.
No changes to configuration activities are allowed in this environment at all. Only transports associated with security are done from this environment. (TBD by Security team)

Catalyst SAP Implementation


mySAP Development System

Since the work performed in the Prototype Configuration client is not recorded by the system, the business process teams keep record of their work to enter the final configuration in Golden client manually.

Development 010 Golden

Catalyst SAP Implementation <Golden Client 010> Configuration Only

Configuration Only. All customizing configuration is done here.


No transaction data is done in this client you will not be entering a sales order, journal entries, etc. Very limited master data will be done in this client you will not be entering products, customers etc. Only master data allowed will be that required to perform configuration activities. Will often be referenced as the Golden Client. All activity done here is anticipated to move to QA, Regression and eventually PROD environment (F, S, P). Access to this is restricted to team members who have been approved to do customizing (configuration).

Configuration activities will be done via Solution Manager.

Catalyst SAP Implementation <010> Configuration Only

All activity will be recorded against a change request or transport request Data will be moved to the other dev clients via the SCC1 transaction

Catalyst SAP Implementation


mySAP Development System

Work performed in the Golden client is recorded automatically and entered configuration is captured in Configuration Transport Requests. This client contains required master data to allow configuration work only. Testing of the entered configuration is not done in this client in order to keep the configuration pure.

To test configuration entered in the Golden client, the Business Process Teams copy their configuration captured in the Configuration Transport Requests into Unit Test client. Here they unit test their configuration and if needed, adjust their configuration in the Golden client and copy it back into unit test client.

Development 010 Golden

Why Separate clients for Configuration and Unit Test?


Keeps Configuration Client pure No transactional data corruptions Guarantees integrity of the configuration transports Unit Test Client contains enough master data to allow testing

Catalyst SAP Implementation <Unit Test Client 100> Unit Test

This client is for unit testing Configuration and Workbench developed solutions. All team members can access. No changes to configuration activities are allowed in this environment at all. This environment is the recipient of configuration data from <Golden (010) Client>.

No changes will be recorded in this system. Therefore, no transports will be generated from this environment.
Standard / Minimal master data required to support this activity needs to be scripted via ALE or LMSW to support reloading of basic master data elements such as customer, product, vendor. This is the only client HUB that is linked to the new dimension products. Any activities that span multiple components needs to be done here.

Catalyst SAP Implementation


mySAP Development System

Unit tested and approved Configuration Transport Requests are copied into Development client. Development Team develops custom ABAP programs using the copied configuration and tests development work in the Development Client. All development work is recorded and is captured in Workbench Transport Requests. Note that ABAP development is client independent hence any changes become immediately available to all clients in the Development system. (TBD: SCC1 access?!)

Development 010 Golden

Why Separate clients for Configuration and Development?


Configuration work Can easily be grouped and entered from start to finish Does not require frequent testing in between while entering it Tested after all work is complete

This environment is the recipient of configuration data from Dev Client. Although activity here is client independent, the expectation is that testing will be done in the Unit test environment All development activity will be saved to transports to promote migration to QA, Regression and PROD.

The remaining mySAP components will be installed as single client systems. These include XI, BW, CRM, and SCM. All customizing (dependent and client independent) plus development will be done here. Configuration access should be limited to the select team members from the individual streams responsible for the component.

Configuration for these systems will be linked to Solution Manager.


All systems will have a change control mechanism to migrate code from one environment to the next, be it a transport or other means.

Clear Communication and Identification of roles and responsibilities


Program Migration Coordinator currently reports to --- organization --- manages and owns the Production Support Stream --- manages and owns the Development Stream Basis/ARCH resources support both Production Support and Development environments. Coordinating the logistics of the Migration process belongs to both the Wave & Migration Coordinators. Basis/ARCH resources responsible for executing the technical mechanism of TMS system based on input from coordinators.

During migration from development stream to Production Support Stream, both

Production Support Resources and Program Migration Coordinator must be involved to ensure successful consolidation
is returned to production support organization (---)

Upon completion of migration/consolidation activities, production stream sole ownership

Test Landscapes must include adequate test environments for all legacy systems to be
impacted.

Production Support Stream and Next Wave Development should remain in separate,

distinct landscapes to preserve integrity and quality of changes migrated to Production, as well as Next Wave Testing environments

Catalyst SAP Implementation Transports

Transports are a mechanism for migrating SAP ABAP based objects from one
environment / client to the next.

A transport migration
an import phase.

can be seen as having two phases: an export and

Releasing a transport initiates the export phase which causes all the
changes to the objects in the transport to be written out to a file in the operating system.

Importing the transport takes the objects from the file to be uploaded to
the new client or new environment

How Transport Management System (TMS) captures Changes?

Changes are tracked in Requests and Tasks. (Request = Transport & Tasks = Work) A Request is a logical group of work. One Request may contain multiple Tasks. Functional Lead creates a Request and assigns Team Members a Task under the request.

How Transport Management System (TMS) captures Changes?

Example: Three members of a Team are working on related information. Result: Functional Lead creates a Request for the work and assigns each Member a Task in the Request.

Catalyst SAP Implementation


How Transport Management System (TMS) captures Changes?

REQUEST

(owned by Functional Lead) TASK 1 TASK 2 TASK 3 (owned by Team Member A) (owned by Team Member B) (owned by Team Member C)

Catalyst SAP Implementation


How Transport Management System (TMS) captures Changes?

As Team Members finish their work, they document it and release their
own task to the request.

When all tasks are released, the Process Lead and Configuration Review
Board will review the work, verify proper documentation, and release the Request.

Exporting and Importing of transports in the same sequence on


respectively source and target systems is critical to ensure the correct synchronization of such systems.

When the configuration teams get started in their configuration activities, they
will be picking from the list of tasks that are assigned to them.

Transports requests should be grouped in logical constructs for your

stream. Not all work is going to be done in one transport yet we dont want one transport for each IMG configuration item.

TMS related FAQs

Question:
Is order important when transporting from one system (development) to another (quality assurance) ?

Answer:
YES! Items are imported in the same order in which they are released. You and the Functional Lead need to ensure that objects which are dependent upon each other are released in the proper order. (see example on next two slides)

TMS related FAQs

Question:
Is there a way to move any changes from the Prototype or Unit Test client ?

Answer:
NO! Since change tracking is turned off within these clients, nothing can be moved out of them.

Catalyst SAP Implementation


TMS related FAQs

Question:
Is everything transported via the normal transport methods ?

Answer:
NO! Certain objects require manual intervention either for creating the change request or performing post-import tasks.

Examples: Some Client Master Data are not transported via TMS. They are either entered manually, or via batch input programs. Some Client Master Data are transportable; refer to specific IMG tasks for applicability. SAP Scripts are transportable via normal TMS methods, but special considerations should be taken when the target system has multiple-clients.

SAP Queries (ad-hoc) require special steps for transporting to another client and/or system.
Factory Calendar is transportable via normal TMS methods, but the change request must be manually created via the IMG customizing (SCAL).

Best Practices When Transporting BW Objects (I)


Transport all customer-defined packages (dev classes) before transporting objects Transport InfoProvider(s) using the In Data Flow Before or Only Necessary Objects grouping option Transport all Global Variables with primary package assignment i.e. ZBW Transport BEx objects with appropriate individual package assignment Transport roles and workbooks together

Best Practices When Transporting BW Objects (II)


Objects need to be transported with respect to their dependencies InfoProviders will bring in all relevant InfoObjects Importing of Global variables is dependant on their reference InfoObject being already active Queries, workbooks and roles are dependant on InfoProviders and InfoObjects being active Use the Transport Connection Tool to analyze your objects Is it in another transport owned by someone else?

Catalyst SAP Implementation

Release the requests together! What is its relationship to other objects? What else does it contain within it? Consider transporting smaller units of work Reduce complexity and dependencies Logical grouping of object (i.e. InfoOjects, InfoCubes) to create building blocks

Benefits
Easier to analyze transport errors Avoids cascading failure effect Easier to manage objects in transports Easier debugging
