1 Application Life-Cycle Management Solution Documentation with Solution Documentation Assistant Solution Management Application Life-Cycle Management SAP AG

2 Solution Documentation Assistant Overview Solution Documentation Assistant verifies and rates customers business process documentation. Data basis is the usage frequency of technical objects related to the business process structure. The usage frequency gives transparency about potentially obsolete and clarity about mission-critical objects and is an excellent starting point for initial documentation as well. Scope Analysis of template, implementation and maintenance projects Analyzes usage of technical objects like transactions, reports, BADIs and custom developments SQL statement analysis enables live system analysis from a business perspective Uses the existing SAP Solution Manager infrastructure like system connections and technical statistical data Benefits Accelerates initial Solution Documentation Enhanced solution and usage transparency Enables simple and fast system consolidation Facilitates business improvements Standardization through comparison of business processes at different locations Basis for optimized test planning Cost-efficient through automated verification of Solution Documentation

3 Solution Documentation Usage of Solution Documentation Assistant (SoDocA) Where is SoDocA used in Solution Documentation? Solution Documentation means having documented the following key elements: core business processes related technical objects, such as transactions, programs, custom code, background jobs, interfaces related (non-sap) system and software components Recommended project language is English The correct usage of implementation projects automatically leads to sufficient solution documentation in the operations and optimization phase. If you start with the documentation in the operations phase, you should make the documentation of your core business processes available in SAP Solution Manager. In relation to a complete implementation project only a subset of information is needed, then. Main tools: Business Blueprint Solution Configuration Solution Documentation Assistant Focus Re-Documentation Upgrades -> verify documentation System Landscape Maintenance/Directory (SMSY/SLD) Operations -> re-document Solution Documentation life-cycle Requirements Optimize Application Management Operate Deploy Design Build & Test Focus Initial Documentation Template Management -> ceate global documentaion Implementation -> create or locally adjust documentation Configuration -> extend documentation

4 How to implement Solution Documentation Use Cases - Decision tree Decision Tree: How to come to a central and reliable business process structure with related documents in SAP Solution Manager Documentation available somewhere no Discover Create process structure with predefined business content and SoDocA* Verify results with business process expert Adjust process structure Upload/link documents Sign-off by business process expert Continuous verification with SoDocA* yes Tool based process structure compatible to SolMan** no Reuse Check completeness of process structure and adjust to 3 levels Manual transfer of process Structure Upload/link documents Sign-off by business process expert Continuous verification with SoDocA* yes Process structure available in SolMan *** no Transfer Verify process structure and prepare transfer to SolMan Automated transfer of process structure Upload/link documents Sign-off by business process expert Continuous verification with SoDocA* Verify Verify process structure with SoDocA* Verify results with business process expert Adjust process structure Upload/link documents Sign-off by business process expert Continuous verification with SoDocA Note: The correct usage of implementation projects automatically leads to Solution Documentation * = SoDocA = Solution Documentation Assistant ** = XLS/XML Upload, ARIS, RBE Plus *** = in Projects or Solutions

5 How to implement Solution Documentation Use cases in detail How do I get my Business Process Documentation into SAP Solution Manager? Discover - no documentation available at all Use BPR as template and verify structures through Solution Documentation Assistant Manually adjust business process structure and related objects in business blueprint Reuse - current documentation available Manually transfer business process structure and related objects in business blueprint Maintain business process structure and related objects in XLS, Lotus Notes and transfer it via XML upload (as this procedure requires expertise this is currently an consultant solution, only) Transfer - current and compatible tool based documentation available Automatically transfer business process structure and related objects in business blueprint ARIS: adjust to required 3 level hierarchy and transfer XML upload: select content, structure it, and transfer via XML (see above) Verify documentation available in SAP Solution Manager Project: copy project, verify it, update original or create new project Solution: copy solution, verify it, create new maintenance project and update solution

6 Main Use Case 1 Discover Verify implementation content or initial solution documentation Verify your core and critical businesses using Solution Documentation Assistant. Implementation Content (BPR) can be verified with (SoDocA) to extend an initial business process documentation. Customer situation No business process documentation available SAP Solution Get familiar with the business process structure using implementation content (BPR) Document core business processes and verify using SoDocA Extend the documentation with critical processes and verify using SoDocA Extend the documentation with selected scenarios using BPR Automatically and regularly verify to keep the documentation reliable and up-to-date Activities Transfer data from the BPR into an implementation project Generate an analysis project in SoDocA Define rules Run the analyses and verify results Use analysis results to update or create a new implementation project

7 Customer Example: Global Oil Company Question: How to discover documentation? We want to perfom an upgrade for our ERP system. We don t have any documented processes for our current system. How to start? SAP 2008 / Page 7

8 Customer Example: Global Oil Company Question: How to start? We want to perfom a upgrade for our ERP system. We don t have any documented processes for our current system. How to start? Answer: Analyze your system usage to identify and redocument your core business processes. All available BPR scenarios were loaded into an implementation project. Implementation project was analyzed by using SoDocA Finalize / redocument core processes Verify documentation of core processes by using SoDocA Required effort for analysis: 2 Days Key advantages: - Getting a starting point - Enable priorization of business processes by system usage - Be able to verify progess of documentation Results: 60% of standard scenarios have not been used during the last 3 month 8 standard transactions and 5 customer transactions have been used more than times Most used transactions are/can be assigned to 4 scenarios More than customer objects are in place customer objects have not been used during the last 4 month SAP 2008 / Page 8

9 Main Use Case 2 Verify Verify solution documentation Based on self-defined rules, solutions can be automatically and regularly verified keeping the solution documentation up-to date Customer situation Solution documentation in SAP Solution Manager available SAP Solution Reuse SAP Solution Manager solution as starting point for solution documentation analysis Verify the solution documentation and analyze performance of, e.g. country specific, process variants Based on rules automatically and regularly verify to keep the documentation reliable and up-to-date Activities Import a SAP Solution Manager solution in an analysis project Define rules Run the analyses and verify results In case of first analysis, align with process expert. Adjust rules, until it s ensured they are defined adequately Use analysis results to update solution or create a new implementation project

10 How to implement Solution Documentation Use cases in detail How do I get my Business Process Documentation into SAP Solution Manager? Discover - no documentation available at all Use BPR as template and verify structures through Solution Documentation Assistant Manually adjust business process structure and related objects in business blueprint Reuse - current documentation available Manually transfer business process structure and related objects in business blueprint Maintain business process structure and related objects in XLS, Lotus Notes and transfer it via XML upload (as this procedure requires expertise this is currently an consultant solution, only) Transfer - current and compatible tool based documentation available Automatically transfer business process structure and related objects in business blueprint ARIS: adjust to required 3 level hierarchy and transfer XML upload: select content, structure it, and transfer via XML (see above) Verify documentation available in SAP Solution Manager Project: copy project, verify it, update original or create new project Solution: copy solution, verify it, create new maintenance project and update solution

11 Business Process Structure: Potential Sources Verify SAP Solution Manager Projects Business process structures of other SAP Solution Manager projects can be used as template or draft to serve as the basis for adjusted or renewed business process documentation Example: Business scenario imported from project ZCHI into project ICSALES Functionality Choose Project as documentation source F4 help to access other projects Structure elements can be copied from all types of projects including implementation, template, upgrade and maintenance projects Business process structure elements can be imported at business scenario, process, process step level Structure element can be copied or inserted as shortcuts referring to the original projects Benefits Select previously documented process structure with project selection help Copy options including crossproject shortcut Ensures consistent structures and wording across current projects Promotes re-use of existing documentation in later projects, e.g. in case of upgrades

12 Business Process Structure: Potential Sources Verify - SAP Solution Manager Solutions Business process structures of other SAP Solution Manager solutions can serve as the basis for adjusted or renewed business process documentation Example: Business scenario imported from solution ICSales_01 into project ICSALES BPR as documentation source Choose Solution as documentation source F4 help to access BPR F4 help to access other solutions Functionality Business process structure elements can be imported at business scenario, process, process step level Structure element can be copied or inserted as shortcuts referring to the original solution Benefits Select previously documented process structure with solution selection help Ensures consistent structures and wording across current projects and solutions Promotes re-use of existing documentation in later projects, e.g. in case of upgrades Various copy option including cross-solution shortcut

13 Analysis Results Usage Report Verification of used objects incl. custom code The display of usage frequency of technical objects gives you transparency about potentially obsolete and clarity about mission-critical objects Customer situation Solution documentation to be updated before an upgrade Housekeeping needed to ensure performance and more cost efficient maintenance SAP Solution Identify obsolete objects, incl. custom code Verify the technical objects solution documentation Linked to rule database allows further check step enhancements Activities Import a SAP Solution Manager dummy project in an analysis project Run the analyses Check usage frequency and identify potentially obsolete objects Verify results with business process objects Use analysis results to update technical object in your solution documentation

14 Update the Business Process Structure Automated rating of business process structure scope flag Main task of Solution Documentation Assistant is to analyze and rate business process structures documented in SAP Solution Manager. Process Verification of business process structure is based on usage frequency and self-defined rules Creates new Solution Manager Project (blueprint structure) based on automated and regular analysis Updates scope flags in existing structure. Insert missing technical objects Flags active nodes in scope and inactive nodes out of scope
