This session communicates the fundamentals of Custom Development Management Cockpit. It gives the participants the opportunity to set up three types of ready-to-use scenarios in their own SAP Solution Manager: usage / clearing analysis (CA), upgrade/change impact analysis (UCIA) and change and transport analysis (CTS) plus the ability to set up new ones for any future Lifecycle change event adoption.

After the session the customer will have set up the CDMC in SAP Solution Manager to enable the identification of the custom code usage analysis and the impact of a Lifecycle Change Event.

The main functionality of CDM is been delivered with the ST-PI Plug-In. Therefore it is independent from the SAP Solution Manager release!. Minor differences between in SAP Solution Manager 7.1 and 7.2 are explained in the EGI.

Custom Code Quality and Clones

For many years customers have developed custom code to gain competitive advantage and to fulfill special business requirements that could not be provided by standard SAP software.

However, if the custom code is not developed in accordance with SAP standards and guidelines, then it can pose customers with challenges during critical situations like an upgrade, implementation of support package, operations etc. In turn this can add unknown additional costs.

This Expert Guided Implementation provides the fundamentals of Custom Code Management and gives the participants the opportunity to address SAP Quality and Clone issues on their own solution.

As a result the customer will be able to identify quality issues using the Code Inspector, ABAP Test Cockpit and discover SAP clones residing in systems using the Clone Finder.

Performance Optimization (PERF)

An important aspect to operate your SAP solution is to ensure the performance of business processes within predefined service level agreements. When response times of specific transactions or web services don’t meet your business needs (sometimes despite extensive hardware), you should start with a root cause analysis of the performance problem.

Within this session an SAP Expert will explain the performance optimization methodology and guidelines to enable you to analyze ST12 traces and if necessary ST14 application checks. This is supported through your SAP Solution Manager.

The Guided Self Service for Performance Optimization will focus on the technical preparation of your SAP systems in combination with your connected SAP Solution Manager.

• the SAP Security Notes Check tool (RSECNOTE)

SQL Statement Tuning (SQL)

An important aspect of an effective regular database monitoring is the identification and (subsequently) elimination of SQL Statements consuming an unnecessary high fraction of system resources (CPU, I/O). Such statements have a direct impact on the transactions or the reports responsible for the statements and can affect the total system performance significantly

In this session, you will learn how to use the Guided Self Service “SQL Statement Tuning”. SQL Statements causing a high load on the system are identified and listed. Each of those statements is analyzed. For statements classified to have an un-suitable access path, best practices provided by SAP help to ensure a better access can be chosen (for example by creating an appropriate index). For other statements that have no technical optimization potential, the detailed information about the statement collected in that service can serve as a good starting point to discuss this access with the development team or with SAP.

The Guided Self Service “SQL Statement Tuning” is closely related to the SAP EarlyWatch Alert check, using the same procedure to identify problematic SQL statements. Due to this relationship, this Service is well suited to follow up problematic statements reported in EarlyWatch Alert check.

System Consolidation & Rollout of Country Versions

SAP customers can speed up and simplify their ERP rollout in various countries taking advantage of Country Versions, but the importance of the corresponding project preparation and - planning is often underestimated - and the best ways to install and configure country specific functionality are not currently understood.

During this Expert Guided Implementation the customer’s system will be prepared best for the implementation of Country Versions, taking in to account the system topology, language support and other parameters.

Based on these preparations the best approach for installation and configuration of country specific functionality will be explained.

We recommend to book the session “Expert Guided Implementation for Basic Configuration 7.2” in advance, which will cover the configuration of Root Cause Analysis (Solution Manager Diagnostics). The basic configuration is an important part of prerequisites for the System Monitoring and Reporting.

End-User Experience Monitoring Reporting Analysis

Today’s business processes are embedded in a global market with participants all over the world. Guaranteeing the highest availability and performance from almost every location is not just a challenge for huge companies anymore. SAP End-User Experience Monitoring (SAP EEM) is an efficient monitoring suite for evaluating and reporting the availability and performance of your productive systems from a client-side perspective. As a result of the perfect integration into the Diagnostics infrastructure in Solution Manager, discovering, analysis, and resolution of occurring issues has been speeded up dramatically. Problems can often be solved before employees or customers even take notice about them, thereby yielding a lower TCO.

This seminar communicates the fundamentals of SAP End-User Experience Monitoring, gives you the opportunity to set up a complete EEM infrastructure and provides the necessary skills to script important business transactions for monitoring purpose.

E2E Root Cause Analysis

In today’s heterogeneous IT landscapes, finding the root cause of an incident can be challenging. There is a need for a structured approach in order to isolate a problematic component and thereby fix the root cause.

Custom Code Lifecycle Management: Make Your Custom Code Efficient

Custom Code Lifecycle Management (CCLM) was designed to manage ABAP developments along the entire lifecycle of custom code objects from the creation of objects, to their use in productive systems all the way to clearing of unused custom code objects. CCLM makes visible all ABAP developments and provides the capability of monitoring the quality as well as to monitor and guide the decommissioning process.

This Expert-Guided Implementation service enables you to set up CCLM in your own system as well as to learn the methodology of CCLM and how to make use of it.

The session contains in addition how to activate Usage and Procedure Logging (UPL / SCMON) which is the usage information provider for CCLM. Adding UPL provides 100% coverage of usage without estimations, to close the existing gaps in the SAP workload statistics.
