SolMan queries

[Former Member]

Hi SolMan Experts,

We are in the implementation project and we are going to use SolMan in the near future..

I know that it can be used for storing Documents,maintaining business scenarios and generating blueprints,.

I have few things to clear about SolMan,like

How is BPM (Business process monitoring) handled in SolMan?.

Are there any alert systems in it..then how would it be used ..

Also do we face problems if we do NOT use SolMan in implementation ?.

like is a Solman key is required for installation of a SAP systems?,etc..

Appriecate for quick answers.

Thanks and Regards,

Hi Umesh,

Let me attempt answering, thought it may take more than one post to cover !

How is BPM (Business process monitoring) handled in SolMan?.

This is handled under a separate Scenario called 'Solution Monitoring' There are distinct steps that you have to acquaint yourself with, and carry out setting up BPM

Are there any alert systems in it..then how would it be used ..

There are indeed many possibilities - details can be found within BPM documentation (I'll try to attach a few links in next post)

Also do we face problems if we do NOT use SolMan in implementation ?.

If you use it for Implementaiton, it is far easier to copy those Business Processes. If you don't, you can still set up BPM using Processes from Business Process Repository (BPR) provided by SAP.

like is a Solman key is required for installation of a SAP systems?,etc..

These are more meant for 'Delivery of SAP Services' - a distinct scenario by itself. Of course, it will have an impact on BPM. Still, it is not related to your decision to use/not use Implementation project.
