SAP Best Practices
SAP Solution Manager Template Description
Creating the SAP Solution Manager Project and
Selecting the Template
You have to create an implementation project to organize your work in SAP Solution Manager
(SOLAR_PROJECT_ADMIN).
To select the rapid-deployment solution within the implementation project, carry out the
following steps in transaction SOLAR_PROJECT_ADMIN in the SAP Solution Manager
system.
1. Go to the Scope tab.
2. Select the rapid-deployment solution:

If the system uses SAP Solution Manager 7.0 (ST 400) or SAP Solution Manager 7.1
(ST 710) < SP05:
a. Select the Template Selection sub-tab by clicking the hyperlink for further
information.
b. Search for the template RDS_BL_ERP607_AE_V3 - SAP RDS for ERP 607
Baseline Package_AE_V3.

If the system uses SAP Solution Manager 7.1 (ST 710) (at least SP05):
a. Select the Solution Package sub-tab by clicking the hyperlink for further
information.
b. Search for the appropriate solution package.
Ensure that SAP Note 1687765 (Robomate) is implemented in SAP Solution
Manager to be able to see the Solution Package sub-tab. This is a mandatory
step to be carried out in the SAP Solution Manager 7.1 (ST 710) SP05 upgrade.
3. Save your project.
4. A dialog box for the mapping of the Logical Components is displayed. Adjust the chosen
logical component via F4 help if needed. For more information, see the Quick Guide
section Preparation of Logical Components Used in Solution Manager Implementation
Project.
The dialog box is only displayed if technical objects have been assigned to the
project, which are managed by Logical Components. If the project only has
documentation assignments, the dialog box is not displayed.
Blueprinting and Implementing the Business Content
In general, there are several deployment options depending on the solution package. If you
want to implement several solution packages at a time you may have a mixture of deployment
options:

SAP Solution Manager only:
Activation content for SAP Best Practices solution builder is not provided or using
SAP Best Practices solution builder in the development system is not possible.
SAP Solution Manager content is provided for each solution package.

Combined use of SAP Solution Manager and SAP Best Practices solution builder:
Use SAP Best Practices solution builder to accelerate the configuration during the
complete implementation which is controlled by SAP Solution Manager.

SAP Best Practices
SAP Solution Manager Template Description
For more information, see the Quick Guide for the solution package attached to
SAP Note 2050877.
When you have completed the pre-requisites according to the Pre-Delivery Requirements and
Checklist document (available in the Step-by-Step Guide, Start  Prepare Project  PreDelivery Requirements and Checklist), the project team can start with the installation and
configuration activities of the solution package in SAP Solution Manager.
1. Conduct blueprinting (transaction SOLAR01)

Scope the business processes of your solution package
 Activate Business Functions assigned to the solution package
2. Conduct implementation (transaction SOLAR02)
Configure your solution package. To avoid redundant configuration see the Prerequisite
Matrix.
The Prerequisites Matrix indicates which configuration building blocks, and
hence related configuration guides, have to be followed in which sequence to
configure the respective business process and to avoid redundant work in
SAP Solution Manager.
The Prerequisites Matrix can be found in the Step-by-Step Guide, Deploy:
Activate Solution  Manual activation and configuration page  Content
Library  Prerequisites Matrix.
To prepare SAP Best Practices solution builder with solution file and installation data you
have several options:

Using the scoping information of SAP Solution Manager to prepare SAP Best
Practices solution builder
If the solution package only consists of one solution file, in SAP Solution Manager
(transaction SOLAR01 or SOLAR02), choose menu entry Utilities(M)  Pass
Data to Solution Builder.
For this option, you are required to configure WebServices in advance.

Using the preparation described in the appropriate sections of the Quick Guide.

Using the Download Solution & Data from Web button in SAP Best Practices
solution builder Solution Editor view
3. For life-cycle reasons, document all changes made to the delivered solution package
content in SAP Solution Manager.
4. Continue with test and training using SAP Solution Manager content and techniques.
5. Go live and transfer implementation results into the SAP Solution Manager solution
directory.
For more information about SAP Solution Manager (inclusive system
administration and implementation aspects described in chapters below), see the
SAP Library documentation for SAP Solution Manager at
http://service.sap.com/solutionmanager.
