How to Edit the Categorization Schema for SAP ITSM/ChaRM

How to Edit the Categorization Schema to include Newly Created Custom Transaction types

SAP strongly suggests to copy the default Transaction Types for ITSM and ChaRM to the Customer namespace (Z* or Y*) before customization begins.  These steps are done via the Guided Procedure for ChaRM, as is the creation of the Categorization Schema for the S* Ttypes.

In order to enable categorization for Customer namespace Incidents, Requests for Change, and the Change Documents, you must copy the SAP_SOLUTION_MANAGER_TEMPLATE Cat schema to the Customer Z Namespace and include the Z* Transaction Types.

Pre Steps:

1. From Solution Manager: Launch sm_crm

  2.  To Enable Table Keys in Drop Down:

• In WebUI Click Personalize

•   Check box for Enable ‘Show Keys in Drop Down’ -> Save

Configuration:

From WebUI:

1. Choose -> Service Operations -> Categorization Schemas

  2.  Search for SAP_SOLUTION_MANAGER_TEMPLATE

•     Copy this Schema
  

3.  Change the Schema ID and Name to Z Namespace and Save

4.  Put the Schema in Edit Mode:

  entries)
