Import a statement set from SAP Solution Manager

Importing statement sets from SAP Solution Manager can be run as both a scheduled operation and manually by users with the appropriate access rights. When updating an existing statement set, an XML file will be created that can contain URL links back to any master and/or draft diagrams that are linked to any of the statements. When this file is read back into SAP Solution Manager the URL links are added to the respective nodes. You can choose whether to export diagram URLs to either the Project Documentation tab, the General Documentation tab or both the Project and General Documentation tabs in SAP Solution Manager.

A statement set style - SAP Transaction Nodes - will be created and applied to all SAP Transaction type nodes upon import. By default, SAP Transaction type nodes will be highlighted in green, however this can be modified by editing the style.

Reports can be run to show which SAP systems and transactions are based on business processes, and which are not. You can also identify areas of the business processes that are not covered by any installed SAP systems and transactions. See Generating reports for more information.

Two statement sets can be compared in TIBCO Nimbus® . This is useful if you want to view the changes that have occurred in specific project structures when compared against the original business blueprint structure. See Comparing statement sets for more information.

To create a new statement set:

3.Click Browse

to locate the XML file that you want to import as a statement set.

4.In the Options panel, click in the Statement Set Name text box and enter a name for the statement set.

Import SAP Transaction Links as child nodes will import SAP transaction links as separate child nodes in the statement set. If disabled, SAP transaction links will be imported as attachments on the corresponding parent statement record.

Include statement set name in SAP transaction link titles on diagrams will automatically append the statement set name onto transaction link titles for statement attachments that are accessible from activities. For example, 'Statement Set x - Create Sales Order (VA03)'. Note: The Allow statement attachments to be accessible from Activities option must be enabled for a specific statement set - see Automatically linking SAP transaction links for more information.

Create / Update Solution Manager End User Roles will create a statement set called SAP End User Roles statement set (assuming the Organizational Unit information is available). This is essentially a list of user names with links to the SAP Solution Manager-type statement set nodes.

To update an existing statement set:

Existing statement sets in TIBCO Nimbus® can be updated from a data exported from SAP Solution Manager. Any document and URL attachments will be overwritten with attachments from the SAP data. If specific document and URL attachments are absent in SAP data but present in the statement set, i.e. they have been removed in SAP Solution Manager, then the corresponding attachments in the statement set will be removed. This applies only to attachments that have originated from SAP Solution Manager. Attachments created by users in TIBCO Nimbus® will not be removed if absent in the SAP data that's being imported.

3.Click Browse

to locate the XML file that you want to import as a statement set.

4.In the Options panel, select Update an existing statement set and choose a statement set from the Statement Set drop-down list.

Keep a copy of the existing version will create a backup of the existing statement set before applying the changes.

Create / Update Solution Manager End User Roles will create or update the 'SAP End User Roles' statement set (assuming the Organizational Unit information is available). This is essentially a list of user names with links to the SAP Solution Manager-type statement set nodes.

These options allow you to create a XML file that can be imported back into SAP Solution Manager in order to update diagram (URL) links.

Select Export usage data to XML file and click Browse

to select the XML file to update.

Activity Statement Links allows you to choose to export activity statement links from either master diagrams, draft diagrams or both master and draft diagrams.

Solution Manager Tab allows you to choose whether to export diagram URLs to either the Project Documentation tab, the General Documentation tab or both the Project and General Documentation tabs in SAP Solution Manager.

5.Click the Advanced tab and define viewing rights for document, transaction and blueprint links.

Blueprint View Rights apply to blueprint-style SAP transaction links (these are automatically generated during the Solution Manager Statement Set import routine).

6.Click the Defaults tab and specify the default Base URLs and SAP Systems for the SAP transaction links and SAP blueprint transaction links, if appropriate.

Note: These will apply to all SAP transaction links that are automatically created during the SAP Solution Manager import routine. If no values are specified then the settings defined in individual users' SAPLogon.ini files will be used to launch related transaction links.

To schedule importing from SAP Solution Manager:

The import routine can be run as a Windows scheduled task, such as overnight or once a week, following the completion of the export from SAP Solution Manager.

In the Statement Sets dialog, from the File menu choose Scheduled Import from SAP Solution Manager. Click New Schedule

. Define the scheduled task from the following:

Scheduled Item includes the details of the import task. You can either define a scheduled task for creating a new statement set or updating an existing one (see above).

Scheduled item description is the description as it appears in the Scheduled Tasks Manager.

Send Notification To allows you to define a user or user group to notify upon completion or failure of the scheduled task. Click Select to find a user.

Schedule Information requires you to define the schedule details, such as start time, occurrence, etc. Click Configure to define the import schedule.

An import log is generated and stored in ...Process Repository\System\Logs folder. This will report on any issues with an import or export.
