Solution Manager 4.0 Configuration: SLDAPIUSER role

In SPRO, SAP Reference IMG -> SAP Solution Manager -> Basic Settings -> SAP Solution Manager System -> System Landscape -> Automatic System Landscape Data Capture -> Connection of System Landscape Directory to Solution Manager -> Generate authorization roles for SLD users
When I display user SLDAPIUSER in client 001, there are no roles defined. I cannot continue with Authorizations without this role. Does anyone know what the default role for this user should be?
Regards,
Vince Ingram

Hi Vincent,
After my 1st reply I was goind through "Component Installation Guide: SAP NetWeaver 2004s Java on Windows: MS SQL Server", this what I found want in that document:
In transaction SU01 create the following dialog users (you do not need to assign them to a role):
Caution
You must have changed the initial passwords of these users [page 77] before you start the installation of the Java system.
ADSUSER:
User for Adobe document services
SLD Data supplier user (optional):
You only have to create this user if you want to install SAP System Landscape Directory (SLD). The SLD data supplier user name that you enter later on during the Java system installation must be identical to this user.
Recommendation
We recommend that you name this user SLDDSUSER
SLD ABAP API user (optional):
You only have to create this user if you want to install SAP System Landscape Directory (SLD). The SLD ABAP API user name that you enter later on during the Java system installation must be identical to this user.
Recommendation
We recommend that you name this user SLDAPIUSER
I dont know I am still confused about these users because they have been used in services.
Thank You,

Solution manager service desk - configuration -pls help

Hi Forum,
I have completed basic configuration of service desk (solution manager 7.1) and able to realize things like create/process/confirm message and email notification after automatic support team determination (which works well based on component). However facing below issues and have few requirement.
1. Once the support team gets determined automaitcally based on component field 'Support Team' gets filled with a predeifined value which is obvious however furhter to that when i wish to change the 'Support Team' manually its grayed out i.e. i am not able to change it as it goes to non-edit mode. how to solve this issue?
2. In mail notification if message is raised from the satellite system or solution manager itself i am receiving the details of the system e.g. products installed and software components which makes message unneccesarily long. Can i configure system to produce e-mail noification without system info so that a notification can be kept short. (This is required as client needs to use service desk for internal purpose and not happy to see the system information as its increasing the length of the message)
3. While creating organizational structure in /nppoma_crm . i have created organizational unit/Support team/support employees..now in support team determination e-mail notification goes to the determined supoport team (to bp for which e-mail id is entered) however it doesnt goes to the employees mapped under support team as members (pls note bp for each member is maintained along with the e-mail id)
4. I would like to know the method used for automatic sold-to-party determination as like support team determination & is it possible to reset the number range as while test plenty of messages got created e.g. 8000000584/8000000585/8000000586 to be reset to 8000000001 again so client can start from 8000000001.
Please help by sharing your thought on this at earliest.

Solution manager system monitoring configuration

Hi
I am configuring system monitoring in solution manager (Oracle / Solman 7.0 EHP1 / Windows 2008 / VM)
I have added a satellite system to solution manager thru CCMS and CCMSPING agents. These are visible in RZ21 / Technical infrastructure / Overview. This has also been added in SMSY, SMSY when refreshed pulls out data from the satellite system. However I am having trouble with the transaction SOLUTION_MANAGER. This is where I setup system monitoring.
Here I find the solution maanger system however am not able to find the satellite system which I had added.
Thoughts?
thanks
Ravi

Hi,
Have you defined and added corresponding logical systems for the respective satellite systems?
Here is the sequence of steps you've to do:
in SMSY:
1) Define server, DB, Systems
2) Generate READ, TMW, TRUSTED RFCs to the satellite systems
3) define logical systems and assign the satellite system to it
in Solution_Manager:
1) define new solution
2) add the logical system into the solution
If these steps are successful, you should be able to see the satellite system in SYSTEM MONITORING in Solution_Manager.
Have you already done these steps?
After performing these steps:
Solution_Manager>choose relevant solution>operations setup>Solution Monitoring>System monitoring>Activate monitoring> choose the system and activate monitoring.
Your system will then appear.
Does this help any way?

Solution Manager Project

When creating a project in Solution Manager (solar_project_admin) I am receiving an error when creating the IMG View for the remote system. The message states that I am not authorized to display the project even though I have SAP_ALL and SAP_NEW authorizations in both systems. When reading the extended help for the error (SPROJECT322) it states that I need the value 03 for the field ACTVT in the authorization object S_PROJECT, but I have confirmed that this is already set.
It begins the process of creating the IMG in the remote system but does not complete the link back to the Solution Manager project.
Are there any other reasons why this type of behavior might occur?

Prince Jose
Thank you for your suggestion, but let me provide you with a little more information to see if this is still the correct action to take.
I currently have SAP_ALL and SAP_NEW authorizations in Solution Manager along with many different role assignments. In the satellite systems I have the IMG_CUS_ADMIN role for managing the projects when they are published to those systems.
In my most recent work I created a project in Solution Manager using 4 different logical components (BI, ECC, SCM, and SRM) for the systems that this project would interact with. With my current Solution Manager security and authorizations I was able to create the IMG view from Solution Manager to the BI, SCM, and SRM systems, but received my error message described above for the ECC system.
Based on that do you think I would still look at my security in the Solution Manager system, or a configuration in the satellite system?

Difference between Solution manager and ASAP

Hi All,
Can anyone tell me what's the difference between SAP solution manager and ASAP?
Regards
Saroj

ASAP stands For Accelerated SAP........its a SAP implementation methodology. It consists of Five phases---
1. Project Preparation
2. Business Blueprint
3. Realization phase
4. Final preparation phase
5. Go live and Support
For Solution manager u can follow this link:
http://www.sap.com/services/pdf/BWP_SB_SAP_Solution_Manager.pdf
ASAP and Solution Manager are tools used for managing SAP implementation and roll out project. Both supports sevral stages of the project as mention by Raj.
The main Difference between three tools (ASAP, VSAP and Solution Manager) are as follow:
ASAP:
- Offline CD set with tools, content and a methodology for component-based implementation projects
VSAP:
- Offline CD set with tools, content and methodologies for Evaluation, Implementation and Continuous Business Improvement
- ASAP CD set is used as a tool platform. ASAP content is included to cover the implementation phase
Solution Manager:
- Onsite platform to support key implementation actitivities
- Including key ASAP concepts and tool features
- Enhanced concepts to encompass the specifics of mySAP.com implementations
- Integrated platform to support Implementation and operation of mySAP.com
- Solution Manager is server based tool.
More informaiton you can find from the following links:
ValueSAP : https://www.service.sap.com/valuesapupdates
Solution Manager: http://service.sap.com/solutionmanager
some documents what is the duty of asap and solution manager i think with u can understand the difference.
asap means,
ASAP
ASAP stands for Accelerated SAP. Its purpose is to help design SAP implementation in the most efficient
manner possible. Its goal is to effectively optimize time, people, quality and other resources, using a proven
methodology to implementation.
ASAP focuses on tools and training, wrapped up in a five-phase process oriented roadmap for guiding
implementation.
The road map is composed of five well-known consecutive phases:
Phase 1 Project Preparation
Phase 2 Business Blueprint
Phase 3 Realization
Phase 4 Final Preparation
Phase 5 Go-Live and support
In today's post we will discuss the first phase.
Phase 1 : Project Preparation
Phase 1 initiates with a retrieval of information and resources. It is an important time to assemble the
necessary components for the implementation. Some important milestones that need to be accomplished
for phase 1 include
Obtaining senior-level management/stakeholder support
identifying clear project objectives
architecting an efficient decision-making process
creating an environment suitable for change and re-engineering
building a qualified and capable project team.
Senior level management support:
One of the most important milestones with phase 1 of ASAP is the full agreement and cooperation of the
important company decision-makers - key stakeholders and others. Their backing and support is crucial for a
successful implementation.
Clear project objectives:
be concise in defining what your objectives and expectations are for this venture. Vague or unclear notions of
what you hope to obtain with SAP will handicap the implementation process. Also make sure that your
expectations are reasonable considering your company's resources. It is essential to have clearly defined
ideas, goals and project plans devised before moving forward.
An efficient decision making process:
One obstacle that often stalls implementation is a poorly constructed decision-making process. Before
embarking on this venture, individuals need to be clearly identified. Decide now who is responsible for
different decisions along the way. From day one, the implementation decision makers and project leaders
from each area must be aware of the onus placed on them to return good decisions quickly.
Environment suitable for change and re engineering:
Your team must be willing to accept that, along with new SAP software, things are going to change, the
business will change, and information technology enabling the business will change as well. By
implementing SAP, you will essentially redesign your current practices to model more efficient or predefined
best business practices as espoused by SAP. Resistance to this change will impede the progress of your
implementation.
Building a qualified project team:
Probably the most important milestone early in assembling a project team for the implementation. If you are
implementing the materials management and plant maintenance modules, you need to include people from
both of these departments. The team should also represent management as well as non management or
"functional" personnel. Sometimes management is less aware of the day-to-day functions of an organization,
including how implementing SAP will tactically influence those function
ASAP- Second Phase- Business Blueprint
SAP has defined a business blueprint phase to help extract pertinent information about your company that is
necessary for implementation. These blueprints are in the form of questionnaires that are designed to probe
for information that uncovers how your company does business. As such, they also serve to document the
implementation. Each business blueprint document essentially outlines your future business processes and
business requirements. The kinds of questions asked are germane to the particular business function, as
seen in the following sample questions:
1) What information do you capture on a purchase order?
2) What information is required to complete a purchase order?
Accelerated SAP question and answer database:
The question and answer database (QADB) is a simple although aging tool designed to facilitate the creation
and maintenance of your business blueprint. This database stores the questions and the answers and
serves as the heart of your blue print. Customers are provided with a customer input template for each
application that collects the data. The question and answer format is standard across applications to
facilitate easier use by the project team.
Issues database:
Another tool used in the blueprinting phase is the issues database. This database stores any open concerns
and pending issues that relate to the implementation. Centrally storing this information assists in gathering
and then managing issues to resolution, so that important matters do not fall through the cracks. You can
then track the issues in database, assign them to team members, and update the database accordingly.
ASAP Phase- 3 - Realization:
With the completion of the business in phase 2, "functional" experts are now ready to begin configuring SAP.
The Realization phase is broken in to two parts.
1) Your SAP consulting team helps you configure your baseline system, called the baseline configuration.
2) Your implementation project team fine-tunes that system to meet all your business and process
requirements as part of the fine tuning configuration.
The initial configuration completed during the base line configuration is based on the information that you
provided in your blueprint document. The remaining approximately 20% of your configuration that was not
tackled during the baseline configuration is completed during the fine tuning configuration. Fine tuning
usually deals with the exceptions that are not covered in baseline configuration. This final bit of tweaking
represents the work necessary to fit your special needs.
Configuration Testing:
With the help of your SAP consulting team, you segregate your business processes into cycles of related
business flows. The cycles serve as independent units that enable you to test specific parts of the business
process. You can also work through configuring the SAP implementation guide (IMG). A tool used to assist
you in configuring your SAP system in a step-by-step manner.
Knowledge Transfer:
As the configuration phase comes to a close, it becomes necessary for the Project team to be self-sufficient
in their knowledge of the configuration of your SAP system. Knowledge transfer to the configuration team
tasked with system maintenance (that is, maintenance of the business processes after Go-live) needs to be
completed at this time.
In addition, the end users tasked with actually using the system for day-to-day business purposes must be
trained.
ASAP Methodology - Phase 4 - Final Preparation:
As phase 3 merges into phase 4, you should find yourselves not only in the midst of SAP
training, but also in the midst of rigorous functional and stress testing. Phase 4 also
concentrates on the fine tuning of your configuration before Go-live and more importantly, the
migration of data from your old system or systems to SAP.
Workload testing (including peak volume, daily load, and other forms of stress testing), and
integration or functional testing are conducted to ensure the accuracy of your data and the
stability of your SAP system. Because you should have begun testing back in phase 2, you do
not have too far to go until Go-live. Now is an important time to perform preventative
maintenance checks to ensure optimal performance at your SAP system.
At the conclusion of phase 4, take time to plan and document a Go-live strategy. Preparation for
Go-live means preparing for your end-users questions as they start actively working on the new
SAP system.
ASAP - Phase 5 - Go-live and Support:
The Go-live milestone is itself is easy to achieve; a smooth and uneventful Go-live is another
matter altogether. Preparation is the key, including attention to what-if scenarios related not only
to the individual business processes deployed but also to the functioning of technology
underpinning these business processes and preparation for ongoing support, including
maintenance contracts and documented processes and procedures are essential

Solution Manager in EP

Dear Experts,
I am facing 2 issues in relevant for solman in EP.
1) I have created Portal standard Component for (com.sap.portal.epsolman)(solution Manger) create support message from EP.
I have mentioned all connection properties. when I click on the submit button with short text and description the message was posted to solution manager system without any error. Where as when am try to post the message with attchment, system is throwing the error message
"Message was not created on SAP Solution Manager. Return code from RFCfunction call: 0"
2) I want to know is there any option where i can my solman ticket status in EP.?
Regards
Ashwini

Hello,
Could you please check whether there is a problem to create messages with attachments also from the Solution Manager itself, with the SAPGUI?
As for what you mention to view the message status, I guess that the only way is to have an URL point to a BSP or the issue management Work Center from the Solution Manager itself, and configure it so that the user can look at his own messages and see when they require his action. There is no specific EP iview that I can give you for users to follow their Service Desk support messages. I have seen the Solution Manager Work Centers or BSPs integrated in a portal, but not a special iview.
Best regards,
Miguel Ariñ

Using OTO CTS+ in Solution Manager 4.0

Hi everybody,
I'm trying to configure the OTO in Solution manager, I somehow configured something as described in the CTS+ guide, I also was able to create a Project as shown in the RKT-solman.
What i'm missing now is how do i use this tool, from beginning , creating a request and transporting it to the different systems.
thanks for your help
Murat

Hi Murat,
You are doing the Java Transports for XI or EP system?For EP systems create the tpz files.
1.From solman create the TP using the normal/urgent correction.
2.Then using CTS borwser attach the TPZ file to the TP created
3.Relase the TP from Solution manager
4.Import to quality using solman and check if it is moved.
Revert for clarifications.

Hi SolMan Experts,
I am working in an SAP implementation project, which is in its project planning phase.
Since i am new to Solman ,i have few things in my mind to clear.
How is Solman used while Implementation ?
Can Solman store multiple project docs centrally in 1 server ? Can it have a link to other SAP
   systems ?
In post-implementation support activity ,can we log problems in Solman for getting solutions
directly from SAP support ? If yes then how it is done ?
Can we apply new patches directly from SAP market place into multiple SAP systems linked to
SolMan?
Thank your for your answers.
These will help me while using SolMan in our project.
Thanks and Regards,
Umesh Karane.

Hi Umesh,
How is Solman used while Implementation ?*
     During implementation you can use projects to manage your implementation.
             solar_project_admin -> To create projects
     You can use it build blueprint of the project and basing on the blue print you can configure the target system.
           SOLAR01 - Blue printing SOLAR02 - Configuration.
for more information please check http://help.sap.com/saphelp_sm40/helpdata/en/9a/90b441b60e3331e10000000a155106/content.htm
Once the blueprint is in place you can configure Business Process Monitoring later on this blue print during support.
Can Solman store multiple project docs centrally in 1 server ?*
           You can store all the documentation you create during blue printing in solution manager under project documentation.
        Can it have a link to other SAP
        It can connect to target system which is to be configured ( After configuring some RFCs) .
       If this doesnot answer your question please explain what you are looking for ?
In post-implementation support activity ,can we log problems in Solman for getting solutions*
directly from SAP support ? If yes then how it is done ?
The support messages raised in satellite systems will be created in Solution manager once you configure support desk and there is automated workflow through which you can send messages to SAP and you can get the replies of SAP in solution manager itself.
for more info please look at http://help.sap.com/saphelp_sm40/helpdata/en/ff/6ea7a870ac469ea54cedd12666cc5d/content.htm
Can we apply new patches directly from SAP market place into multiple SAP systems linked to
Now you can only download the Support packs once you approve them through Maintenance Optimizer. After approving you still need to download through Download manager and apply them in systems. It is not handled by solution manager.
you can appy notes through SNOTE in all system through solutioin manager. You need to select the system where you want to apply from solution manager itself and it will apply that note in that system.
The complete documentation of Solution Manager 4.0 can be accessed at http://help.sap.com/saphelp_sm40/helpdata/en/45/51fbdbd4941803e10000000a1553f7/frameset.htm

Hello Richard,
(1) regarding network connections see document [Draft:Technical Support Network Connections for VAR Scenario|http://service.sap.com/~form/sapnet?_SHORTKEY=00200797470000089947&_OBJECT=011000358700000880802009E] as overview and with a lot of detailed information.
(2) yes, you have to setup once all your customer connections at the beginning but then only add/remove with customer contract changes
(3) the workaround by sending by email can handled a anexception. EWA has to be done for productive systems like nowadays done by SAP. Additional EWA services could meas additional business case for a VAR - that's contract between VAR and customer.
(4) whatever you think may be a business to sell - do it ! (and get a monetary bonus from your boss
Kind regards

More than one Solution Manager

Hi,
We have 3 data centres around the world and each have a number of SAP systems, ABAP, JAVA and ABAP+Java. At present we have one central Solution Manager that is configured primarily for ASAP, change management etc and not really configured for CEN or RCA.
So my question is, has anyone setup more than one Solution Manager when they have multiple data centres around the world or is everyone just using a central Solution Manager?
Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Brian

Thank you for your reply. Our Central Solution Manager is already 4p/8c with 20Gb on Windows Server 2003 and when we connect all our SAP instances, some 120 of them then the Solman basically stops. So I am curious, very eager to find out if anyone has setup more than one Solman to handle large numbers of SAP instances and handle geographic separation of SAP instances.
But thanks for your reply.
Brian

Does somebody have experience to manage SAP project with solution manager?

Hi friends,
I will implement new project for my client. As I know, solution manager is already part of SAP Netweaver. To install SAP NetWeaver, solution manager must be installed. Meanwhile, solution manager provides a project management tool, for example, the business process definition, blueprint...
But I never use it to manage project. Could somebody share experience in this area?
Regards,
Watson

Hi Ragu,
Thanks for your posting. I will implement a SAP APO project. What I need is the methods to use solution manager, for example, configuration manual, step by step guide. I'm also interested in the advantages of SAP solution manager.

Watson
