Hello
we have solman 7.1 SPS5
We are evaluating the JSM scenarios
Right now our two priorities are as follows
1) we need to have a central repository of our jobs (documentations) in solution manager.
2) Automated scheduling of the jobs from solution manager via our job scheduling tool onto the satellite systems
I did read the JSM documentations in detail and also understand that when a JR is created, a CRM document is created in the background. This CRM document (say in the form of SD incident or a CHARM SMCR) is then picked up by IT and further processed, a job documentation is created out of it and then scheduled etc
So my questions are as follows
a) Would it be an option to avoid this integration with SD or CHARM?
b) Would it be an option to give end users the option to directly create job documentations (no job request as a first step) filling in all the details about the job, schedule,variant etc?
If the answer to the above two are NO, this means SD or CHARM configuration in the solution manager is a mandatory task to be able to use JSM ? Because the SPRO nor the documentation at /jsm is very clear about this. The documentation says JSM CAN be integrated with SD or CHARM or both, but its not very clear if this is a mandatory task?
Also there is a document abotu prerequisites for solman 7.1 JSM and this aspect is not mentioned there
Any inputs are much appreciated. Our current concern is that SD/CHARM configuration does take time and efforts
Thanks
