Dear all,

in a previous blog post where I discussed the deprecation of SAP Best Practices Explorer, I assured you that I would provide you with the latest information on SAP Best Practices and alternative ways to navigate SAP’s solution processes.

Today marks the launch of Process Navigator by SAP, which is now available as an initial version. Process Navigator is built on the Enterprise Architecture methodology data model. This new service can be accessed via SAP for Me.

 

Process Navigator by SAP is...

• a cloud native service providing insights into SAP’s process portfolio following a business and solution process-centric data model and design.


• delivering process models, process documentation, process related implementation accelerators, country and industry specific implementation scope.


• providing process related context data such as solution components, roles, integration automation information, applications along process flows and supported solution capabilities.


• a tailormade service to help businesses “implement simple” in all deployment types, public and private cloud, on-premise or hybrid scenarios.


• providing a lightweight consumer grade usability with SAP Fiori, on any device, with in-app search and filtering options enabling access to SAP’s process portfolio at any point in time.

 

To find the tile for Process Navigator, please go to ‘Services & Support’ in 'SAP for Me', and then select ‘Application Lifecycle Management.’ Please note that accessing Process Navigator requires you to authenticate yourself using a registered SAP User account through 'SAP for Me'.

In addition, the direct link to Process Navigator is https://me.sap.com/processnavigator.

 

How do Process Navigator, Cloud ALM, Digital Discovery Assessment and Signavio Process Explorer work together?

• Process Navigator is our new lightweight service with quick and easy access to solution scenarios and solution processes to support the discovery phase and project planning


• Digital Discovery Assessment is your pre-qualification experience on the journey to qualify your solution scope and get your offer prepared. Digital Discovery Assessment is linking into the process details in Process Navigator.


• Cloud ALM is our application lifecycle management solution to support all aspects of the implementation and run lifecycle, project definition and setup, fit-to-standard workshops and capturing of your requirements to safely guide you through the implementation and later on support you to operate your solution


• Signavio Process Explorer as one entry point into the rich world of Signavio, including process metrics to measure and benchmark work, process mining and analytics, and much, much more.

Since the SAP Activate lifecycle involves varying levels of detail across different phases, there cannot be a universal solution that fits all scenarios. Nevertheless, the solution processes offered by these services exhibit a significant degree of overlap and are shared from the same source.

Please find out more about Process Navigator in this presentation.

I’ve been asked numerous times whether SAP Best Practices will remain available, and the answer is a resounding ‘yes.’ In fact, we’re increasing our investments and efforts in this area. Any new scenario for SAP Best Practices will be accessible via Process Navigator, as well as through all other relevant services.

Hi Stefan, Nicolas,

did you log-on with P- user ID?

Best regards

Holger

[nicolaswillemen]

Hi Holger

I am logged in with my e-mail address. I suppose this is linked to my S-user (& SAP Universal ID). And this is linked to my P-user.

Kind regards

Nicolas

[spiffie]

I am logging on with my combined S and P user profile, universal ID. I have a separate older P user too, but with that one there is just a white page displayed when logging in to the process navigator.

[HolgerSteffens]

Hi Stefan,

in your case, does the Universal ID work? Only the older P-User doesn't work?

Regards

Holger

[HolgerSteffens]

Hi Manish,

as mentioned, you need to register as a P-User first.

Best regards

Holger

[HolgerSteffens]

Hi Nicolas,

can you please check your ID's at https://accounts.sap.com and see which ones are listed and if your Univeral ID is set-up correctly.

Best regards

Holger

[anita_battistin88]

I have the same issue. In the Manage my Account page it says that my Universal ID is correctly set up and my P and S user IDs are linked, but I still can't access the test scripts.

[spiffie]

Hello Holger,

My universal ID works in the sense that I can log on. However the "related assets" section is greyed out. The old separate p-user allows me to log on but the screen is just blank. I checked the same setup that Anita mentions below and the universal ID looked like it is correctly set up.

[nicolaswillemen]

Hi Holger

The ID provided on that link is my P-user. Also, when scrolling down in that webpage and navigating to my Universal ID, I do get the confirmation that everything has been linked.

Dear all,

as you can read from the comments we're reported some access issues. The 'SAP for Me' team is working on a resolution, which primarily should fix issues for P-user access.

Additionally please have a look at 3330283 - SAP Readiness Check could not open in SAP for Me - SAP ONE Support Launchpad and try this as a workaround.

In step 4 of the 'Resolution' please use the link: https://me.sap.com/processnavigator instead.

Best regards

Holger

 

[HolgerSteffens]

Can you please check my comments below. We've applied some fixes, hope this will do it now.

[nicolaswillemen]

Hi Holger

Unfortunately the issue still occurs. I'm unable to download for example the J60 scope item test script as it has been greyed out. Any ideas on why this is?

Thank you in advance.

Kind regards

Nicolas

[HolgerSteffens]

Hi Nicolas,

seems to be related to your S-User or Universal ID. Can you please report the issue to earl@sap.com for the time being that we can take it offline to support you.

Best regards

Holger

[georg_strahlhofer]

Hi Holger,

I am interested, if it is planned that the process steps in the specific Solution Process Flows will receive a more detailed documentation directly in the Process Navigator e.g. screenshots based on the Test script?

Thanks for your answer

BR

Georg

[ingmarkroll]

Hello Holger,

I would like to take up the topic of languages again. You had already said that multilingualism of e.g. test scripts is on your roadmap. Is it then planned that all resources will be available in the Process Navigator by the end of June, i.e. until the Best Practice Explorer is shut down? Or do we have to expect a time gap? If so, what duration do you anticipate?

Thanks a lot and best regards,
Ingmar

[HolgerSteffens]

Hi Georg,

yes, it's planned to provide more technical contextual information on individual Solution Activities. I don't want to share too many details now but please stay tuned for future updates.

If you like you could elaborate a bit more on your idea of 'screenshots based on Test Scripts'.

Regards,

Holger

[HolgerSteffens]

Hi Ingmar,

I'm not sharing roadmap details or timelines in this blog. However, as mentioned we'd like to continue to provide assets in different language with the same translation depth we had on SAP Best Practices Explorer before.

Regards

Holger

Hi Adriana,

the note 3337325 helped in understanding that SAP sadly makes use of third-party cookies, which my favorite firefox blocks.

I put these URLs into the exception list and now it works:

• https://sapui5.hana.ondemand.com


• https://pr.authentication.eu10.hana.ondemand.com


• https://consent.trustarc.com


• https://me.sap.com


• https://webassistant.enable-now.cloud.sap


• https://cdc-api.account.sap.com


• https://xray.hana.ondemand.com

Hope it helps.

Ciao Riccardo

Hi Holger,

How do I import this best practice content from Process Navigator into SAP Solution Manager 7.2

Earlier in the SAP Best PRactice explorer the download option would download the content into an .JSON file. But in the Signavio Process Navigator the Download file DO NOT have any .json format file.

So how do I import the content into SolMan ?

Regards,
Ajay Shetti

[HolgerSteffens]

Hi Ajay,

we're not supporting any import format into SAP Solution Manager from within SAP Signavio Process Navigator.

Best regards

Holger

[former_member73182]

Hi Holger,

Thank you for your response.

A customer want to use Focused Build and hence I have to import the S/4HANA Best Practice Content into Solution Manager which they want to document in SolMan. How can I import an S/4HANA Best Practice content into SolMan ?

Can you please assist.

Regards,
Ajay Shetti

[HolgerSteffens]

Hello Ajay,

I'm fully getting the point. Can you please reach out to the Solution Manager team to ask for assistance. As mentioned, we do not provide any such option.

Best regards

Holger

[ernesto_villalobos]

The json file is in the folder that starts with "BP_OP_ENTPR", you can use it to upload it into Import Branch in SAP Solution Manager or use the new connector once the content is uploaded in SAP Signavio and sync the content into Design Branch.
