Charm Implementation

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus,

I am looking for some useful info regarding implementation of CHARM.

I have quite a big landscabe with more than 100 systems of different releases with 3 tier landscape.

We are handling the transports manually till date but now wants to implement CHARM to get rid of all the manual effort.

I am totally new to CHARM and have no experiance in this. So please help me understand CHARM and provide some useful guides for sucessfull implementation.

Also tell me the challenges which might come during configuration phase.

Awaiting some useful replies.

Devendra

There are blogs available describing configuration and usage.

You can use the search option with keyword charm or change request management and drill down to the blogs or check the blog section on category "solution manager"
