A - Configuration Analysis

The Configuration Analysis Consolidation workflows compare a specified branch of the IMG on two specified SAP systems. The IMG branch to be compared is reflected in the workflow’s name, and in the name of the IMG Select List parameter that is input for the Retrieve Hierarchy Objects action. For example, the A.01 - Basis Components workflow compares the ‘Basis Components’ branch of the IMG.

The comparison results are stored in the Compared Objects hierarchy dataset.

Creating RFC Destinations

Before you begin, you will need to create RFC Destinations for each of the SAP systems you wish to compare.

Preparing the Workflow

To prepare a Configuration Analysis workflow, drag its workflow template from the Templates folder into your own workspace, and modify the workflow as follows:

To specify the systems to compare:

1. Select the System 1 parameter and choose ‘Edit RFC Destination’ from its context menu to display the RFC Destination dialog.

2. Select the RFC Destination for the first system to compare, then click ‘Save’.

Repeat the above steps to link the System 2 parameter to the RFC Destination for the second system to compare. Save the workflow using the ‘Save’ toolbar button.

Running the Workflow

To run a Configuration Analysis workflow, click the 'Run' toolbar button, choose ‘Run Now’ from the diagram’s context menu, or press F5. The currently running workflow action is marked with an animated display. When the workflow execution has completed, select the Compared Objects dataset and choose ‘View Details’ from the context menu to view the comparison results.
