Since SAP TechED 2012, I have been interested to work much on new features released for custom code management functionality in Solution Manager 7.1. Finally last month we got the approval for Go. I joined with the developers team and we implemented Custom Code Lifecycle Management (CCLM) in one of our client productively. Through this document, I would like to share some of our experience on CCLM setup and tips to get more benefit from the tool.
We could easily define CCLM as a tool which provides transparency of all your custom code objects in your landscape also provides the various dimensional view like quantity, quality, usage, Technical severity and Business criticality.
This blog is not intended for configuration steps, But you can get the step by step configuration on Road MAP CCLM.
I tried to give very short. There are list of data collectors ( scheduled with batch jobs) helps to collect the data with various dimensions and It is the library definition which we import during the configuration helps to list of custom code objects with its standard attributes, we can also define our own attributes and its values. The good thing is these data collectors runs periodically and update the result automatically. We will see more detail on below.
Result of CCLM functionality can be viewed in three different place
In the Objects view, you can display all custom objects (and their attributes) in the active library. The data collectors have collected the custom objects during the scheduled jobs. You can filter and search the list by certain criteria, like by defining contracts, references, responsible person,
In addition we need to manually maintain the custom attributes severity and criticality under maintain attributes
A comprehensive reporting function known as Ad-hoc Reporting is available under common tasks in CCLM workcenter, you can view both master and transactional view of the result, there are various filter option available to drill down the result into more meaningful format, But this is kind of static table display, Not able to get much information from the result displayed.
Since BW configuration is optional CCLM standard support, if we want BW reporting, we need to create the queries and template ourself, we could display it under CCLM Workcenter - Reporting.
The CCLM Dashboard contains five apps for monitoring custom code and displaying the data in dashboard format. The following lists the apps,
