Solution Manager's network requirements

Hi Experts,
we want to install solution manager. But it seems Solution manager should be connected to SAP.
Is it possible to use SNC over Internet to connect our  Solution manager to SAP? What kind of connection is normally used?
Thanks a lot.

Hello Rongfeng,
Yes you are right. Solution Manager requires a connection to SAP to work on functions lilke Service Desk and Maintenance Optimizer.
These connections are made via RFC typically the RFC SAP-OSS and SAP-OSS-LIST-O01. Also the RFC SAPOSS and SAPNET_RFC is used.
It is possible to have a SAPRouter setup to use SNC over internet and then use this SAPRouter with Solution Manager in the details of these RFC's so that the RFC's function.
Following notes discuss the details on SNC and SAProuter :
35010  -- Service connections: Composite note (overview)
31515 --  Service connections
30289 --  SAProuter documentation
Hope that this information helps.

  • Upgrade CRM 3.0 to CRM 5.0 -Is solution manager by SAP required?

    Hello CRM gurus,
    We are currently running on CRM version 3.0 and planning an upgrade to CRM 5.0.
    Is solution manager absolutely required for this upgrade. I know that SAP heighly recommends it but is it absoutely required.
    Also, could you please give me few inputs if you did the upgrade with/without the solution manager?
    Thanks for your inputs,

    in the <a href="http://service.sap.com/~sapidb/011000358700005413872005E">CRM 5.0 Upgrade Master Guide</a> I found this:

  • Does solution manager 4.0  require SMD Agent?

    we have  solman 4.0 abap+java with sp11.we are in the process of configuring sol mananager  diagnostics for sattlite systems.
    for monitoring solution manager   java stack it self from solution manager  do we need to install  SMD AGENT   even thogh solution manger it self has SMD server ? still  solution manger need SMD AGENT ?

    Hi,
    SMD Agents are mandatory to run Diagnostics on sattelite systems.
    Each Agent is connected to SMD Server and is able to run task or collect information from central request (SMD Server).
    If you do not have them, you will not be able to run any tools in Diag.
    SMD Server is one sub-component of Solution Manager 4.0.

  • View the document in Solution Manager

    I am told that there is an option in Solution Manager to have the document generate a link that can be emailed to the approver. This allows the approver to view the document in SM without actually having access to SM. The approver can then reply back to the e-mail with his/her approval after viewing document.
    I am new the SM any detailed input with how to steps would really help..
    thanks in advance.

    Hi B_J,
    it is correct, each document has attributes, on the attribute tab in the button bar, there is an icon to generate an url for the selected document. This link is stored in your windows clipboard, so you can past this link in an e-mail or wordfile. The person who gets the e-mail must have access to the Solution Manager via network, he needs no personal user in the system. The link used a service of Solution Manager(check in the Solution Manager IMG at the HTTP services). This service requires a user to read the document. If you have no user, then it is necessary that in the system a default user is assigned to the service or to its alias. Now to your second use case, the approval, you can not bring any information INTO Solution Manager, you can only answer the e-mail, with the info, yes the document is OK, but you can not set a status or an other attribute at the document, that the document is approved.

  • Can we create a workflow in Solution Manager ?

    Hi Friends,
    Actually I have a requirement to create a workflow in solution manager.
    The requirement is to create a wf for issue log. As soon as a new <b>issue (support message)</b> is created then the wf should get triggered and send out a mail to the resp. person. It just a sending a mail between issue created and responsible person. Can anyone please let me know if we create a wf in Solman or not ? <b>If so please provide me some related buss. obj for that.</b> thanks
    Grateful to your help.
    Srithan

    If you want to Place certain actions after status change of a transaction, it's better to do this with an action profile and a condition for that action:
    In Solman check SPRO path:
    CRM>Transactions>Basic settings-->Define transaction types
    In this activity double click the transaction type to find out what the action profile is:
    Now go to:
    CRM>Basic functions>Actions>Actions in transactions>Change actions and conditions-->Define action profiles and actions
    Here you can add an action definition on the action profile, this can be methods, workflow or in your case a smartform mail.
    If the action profile is a SAP standard (doesn't begin with Z) it is advisable to copy the standard. Also, this is more of a CRM/Solman consultant issue, so you may have to involve such a consultant
    Now go to
    CRM>Basic functions>Actions>Actions in transactions>Change actions and conditions-->Define Conditions
    Here you can add conditions which will cause the action to be executed.
    Kind regards, Rob Dielemans

    Sorry Raguraman,
       I am unable to check those tcodes as I havenot got the authorizations for those. after several mails I got some basic wf developer tcode access.

  • Automating uploading of test case through SOLAR02 - Solution Manager

    Hi
    Currently our client is uploading hundreds of test cases into SOLUTION MANAGER manually, they have lots of test cases to be uploaded, and doing it manual is a tedious process.
    Client is requesting us to develop a program which will automate the feature of uploading the test cases into SOLUTION MANAGER.
    Detailed requirements :
    Client needs a Program to be developed in such a that, client will provide 'Project name', 'Business Scenarios' and the 'Business Process'. Also provides the folder on the desktop system with the test case file.
    Once user make this selection it(program to be developed) should upload the test document (XLS File) will be saved under a particular folder and also the manual steps maintained in the test case get uploaded.
    To meet the above requirement we are in process of debugging (tcode: SOLAR02) to check if there is any function modules or BAPI to upload the test documents and the respective test cased to develop this program, but we could not make any progress.
    Any help in this regard is highly appreciated.
    Many Many Thanks in advacne.
    Ramesh.

    Hello,
    we had this need a year ago and got the answer that it's not possible to upload several documents at one time automaticly.
    There should be a SAP partner offering a solution for it, but he could only offer it for a totaly new Solution Manager environment and not for a database which has already content in it.
    Sorry, we would also be happy to have an automated solution.

    Hello,
    you should have a look into SAP note 1054005 - "FAQ: Job Scheduling Management with SAP Solution Manager" for technical requirements. If the job doc is not assigned to a business process then BPMon cannot be used for the respective job.

  • Re: Solution Manager & SAP Netweaver

    Hi,
    I would like to know about the solution manager, whether it is pre-configured one SAP R/3 or external tool for monitoring sap.
    SAP R/3 is an ERP. If i need to install BW then i need Netweaver to be installed to have components like BW APO XI etc.
    My understanding is rite or ...
    Please give more information about solution manager.
    vivek

    Hi,
    The SAP NetWeaver technology platform is a comprehensive integration and application platform
    that helps reduce the total cost of ownership (TCO). It facilitates the integration and alignment of
    people, information, and business processes across organizational and technological boundaries. SAP
    NetWeaver easily integrates information and applications from virtually any source.
    SAP ERP is the underlying technology on which all the packages work like SAP BW, EP, NW etc.
    SAP Solution Manager is SAP's new service and support platform that helps to implement and operate SAP solution efficiently.
    SAP Solution Manager consists of:
    1. Central documentation of system landscapes and core business processes
    2. Implementation tools, key functional implementation aspects such as blueprinting, configuration and testing
    3. Access to SAP Support Services and Best Practices
    4. Periodic service level reporting and real-time monitoring of system components and business processes
    5. Advanced message handling for fast problem analysis and resolution including the SAP Note Assistant and a direct connection to the SAP Support Back Office.
    Note : Be aware that you require an SAP Solution Manager system (minimum release 3.2 SP8) to install or upgrade to SAP NetWeaver 7.0. An SAP Solution Manager system is required to generate the SAP Solution Manager key needed during the installation or upgrade process. Without this key, the
    installation or upgrade process cannot continue. For more information, see SAP Note 805390.
    For more informaton on SAP NW & SOLMAN you can download the guides from SMP :

  • Can we upgrade any solution by solution manager?

    hi
    can we upgrade any solution , that may be xi ,mi , bi  by using solution manager?
    thanks

    Hi Ashley
    - it comes with content which simplifies the upgrade, or which allows you to create own documentation, and as such it is higly recommended.
    - following the Master Guide for SAP ERP 6.0: "Each SAP ERP (or SAP NetWeaver) system landscape >must< be assigned to an installation of the SAP Solution Manager. SAP Solution Manager is the required platform to efficiently support the implementation and operation of your SAP application. As a prerequisite for support, SAP requires remote access to the SAP Solution Manager that hosts the affected system landscape."

  • Required "/" (root) file system size on UNIX for Solution Manager.

    Hello SAP Gurus,
       I am setting up SAP Solution Manager 3.2 on HP-UX. It is asking me about 350MB free sapce on "/" file system for Central Instance installation and about 120MB free sapce on "/" file system for Database Instance installation.
       I am installaing everything on to shared disk which mounted under /usr/sap. Why it needs free sapce in "/" file system. Is there any workaround to get rid of this requirement, as I have very less free sapce on "/" file system and I don't want to take the risks involved in increasing this size.
       Are there any SAP recommended sizes for "/" file system?
       I stuck in the middle of setting up SAP landscape on HP-UX (11.23). I searched through the Installation documents but I couldn't find any thing helpful in this regard. It is urgent requirement to set up this so please let me know any solution or workaround ASAP.
       Any help is greatly appriciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Vaibhav.
    Normally "canonical path not available for (folder name)" means:
    1. Wrong username/password. Please double check you credentials.
    2. The resource cannot be linked from the portal server. Please be sure that you can connect to the next ports in windows server from the Unix Server:
    a. NetBIOS Session Service TCP 139 This port is used to connect file shares for example.
    b. TCP 445 The SMB (Server Message Block) protocol is used among other things for file sharing in Windows NT/2000/XP. In windows NT it ran on top of NetBT (NetBIOS over TCP/IP), which used the famous ports 137, 138 (UDP) and 139 (TCP). In Windows 2000/XP/2003, Microsoft added the possibility to run SMB directly over TCP/IP, without the extra layer of NetBT. For this they use TCP port 445.
    I hope these things help somebody.

  • Is Logical System required for Solution Manager to work?

    Hi all
    We will be upgrading to SAP ERP in the near future and will have to use Solution Manager.
    We only have one company code and no business areas in our configuration. So that, we do not need ALE, consequently, we have not defined/used a logical system.
    Do we now need to define a logical system and assign our client to it, in order to use Solution Manager?
    tia
    Manuel

    Hi Manuel,
    in logical components the term "Logical System" is used to discribe the combination of system and client in an ABAP system. This does not mean you have to define logical systems in ALE customizing. That is not required as far as I know.
    Regards
    Andreas
