Last week we successfully completed our checking new functionality of Solution Manager 7.1. Now in my landscape (Quality Gate Management) QGM is successfully running on top of ChaRM. I would like to share my finding on integration of QGM and ChaRM in Solman 7.1 in the format of Q&A as follows below.

 

What are the restrictions to activate QGM and ChaRM, both in the same project?

 

  • QGM can be activated to the ChaRM project, only with the development phase.
  • ChaRM can be activated to the QGM project, where no gates have been passed.
  • ChaRM can only be activated with QGM, where the project completely maintained with QGM.

 

 

I created QGM project, started to work on it, and now it is in the phase of testing. Is it possible to activate the ChaRM for this project?

 

  • No, you were not able to activate, since you have already passed at least one phase. If you try to activate it, you will end up with the error as displayed below:

 

 

 

 

 

I am already working on ChaRM, where the current phase of the maintenance cycle is Go Live. Is it possible to activate QGM now for this project?

I created a maintenance project, activated QGM, where no gates are passed,  I also activated ChaRM. Now, what is the process flow change? Will it be able to transport from QGM as well?

 

  • No, you cannot transport from QGM. When QGM and ChaRM both are integrated, the entire transport features are only available on ChaRM. QGM will manage only Qgate themselves. You will get this confirmation warning while activating ChaRM on QGM:

 

 

 

 

In my landscape both QGM and ChaRM are integrated. Is it possible to create change using QGM?

 

  • No You cannot do that. You can create only from ChaRM. If you tried to create, you would get the following error:

 

 

 

I have a project where ChaRM and QGM both are activated. Is it possible to import the ToC to the QA system where QGATE in the Build phase?
