Configuring ChaRM to unfinished pipeline (PRD yet missing)

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

We are working with SolMan 4.0 SP13 and have been succesfull in configuring ChaRM to 3 system pipelines. Now we are facing a situation where new pipeline is not yet finished but development and therefore transports need to be started.

I have a vaque memory of seing possibility to use a "placeholder" for systems that don't exist yet and then add them once they are available. Having searched notes and SDN I haven't been able to find a solution.

What we have now is DEV and QAS in the pipeline and we need to start trasnports between these two. PRD will be available later on in the spring and once it is, we would add it to ChaRM configuration. The request is to start using ChaRM for implementation and development.

Has anyone of you done this kind of ChaRM configuration? I'd be greatful for any hints you may give me.

Sincerelly,

Hi experts,

I found out that the "placeholder" is infact a virtual machine and that we should use before the pipeline is completed. I'm still worried that how can we replace the virtual machine in logical component, iBase and task lists and still be able to complete transport to production if we use the vm now.

Has anyone of you done a similar ChaRM configuration?

I would be very greatful for any advice you may give me on this matter!

Thank you in advance!

BR,
