New to Solution Manager

We are planning to install Solution Manager and have arrived on following configuration based on what we could understand from Sizing tool and guide;
Intel Xeon Quad core with 16 GB RAM, 500 GB HDD - Win 2008 Enterprise-64 bit 25 user and SQL 2008 5 user.
we have around 30 customers sending approx 50 msgs per month.
Can anyone advice us if this is ok. We are from BOBJ background and have no exposure to any other technology of SAP.
Thanks & Regards

Dear Mayank.
Thanks for your reply. We arrived at this sizing only after referring to that sizing guide. Main problem is that everywhere all Solution Manager refer to ABAP, SAP modules, BW etc., but there is no reference to Business Objects.
We are basically from Business Objects background and SAP has asked us to install Solution Manager. Though we have raised the case with SAP, there is no help coming. Net Weaver and other SAP terminology used in Solution Manager document is new for us.
We have succeeded in doing Basic installation, we are lost in the post installation steps. Guides available on the portal are not much of help as they are cryptic and there are too many references than clear steps. When you reach the end of references one gets lost and is more confused.
Can you give some help based on your experience? first of all it is not clear to us as how Solution Manager works? SAP guys instead of giving a brief 3-4 sentence answer, send us the same solution manager documents links which we have referred before going to SAP.
Thanks & Regards

New to Solution Manager Implementation

Hi Experts:
We have implemented SAP ECC 6.0 in our company, our Organization decided to implement SolMan SP15. I will be a part of the team to implement SolMan. Just give a background of my experience, I am a MM Consultant.
I need some direction from the Experts, first from where to start. Any relevant links to the right documents will be very helpful.
Secondly for a SolMan consultant what should be the prerequisite from the previous experience point out view. It is required that the candidate to have SAP Basis knowledge.
Any helpful guidelines and links to the material will be highly appreciated.
Thanks
James

Hi Bill
For you it is better to go to Solution manager functional role...or Solution consultant
which is actually involved in implementation point of view.
For you it is not required to learn basis........for e.g u r gng to do a ECC implementation ....wht is req from u will be
Basis will set up landscape RFC logical component etc
And you will create a project in solmaan do the blueprint in Solar01 etc.......for satellite ECC system
and Even in the operation like Service Desk /CHARMS etc....can BASIS go and understand client processes ....and implement it in solman service desk.
I dont think so....basis install solman and activate bc sets and do some basic configuration.....
there after there are lot of CRM sort of configration like Sold to party and other BP creation with determination rule which is ofcourse can be done by you as u being functional role understand the ORG hierarchy of the client.SLA implementation etc.
I hope it clarifies ur doubt

Delete the old CUA and build a new CUA on the Solution Manager

Hello together,
I'm about to delete the old CUA and build a new CUA on the Solution Manager.
The users are in multiple systems almost the same.
This raises the following questions:
If I export the printers from the old CUA in a file and import into the new CUA (Solution Manager, then the printer can be administered directly in Solman?
Furthermore, if I depended on the second or third child System and attached to the new CUA, the user description data are not overwritten, as bsp: with the description data of the last-connected system?
By delete the CUA child system in which users are blocked. Can you handle it?
I thank you in advance
Mirsad

> If I export the printers from the old CUA in a file and import into the new CUA (Solution Manager, then the printer can be administered directly in Solman?
-->the assignment of printers, not the printers themselves of course....
> Furthermore, if I depended on the second or third child System and attached to the new CUA, the user description data are not overwritten, as bsp: with the description data of the last-connected system?
If you mean adress data, already existing adresses are not overwritten. Such users will show up in scug as 'identical' or different' and can be handled accordingly.
> By delete the CUA child system in which users are blocked. Can you handle it?
Users without assignement to the central system get a global lock if the cua is removed in the central system. They still exist in usr02 in the central system, but with the global lock flag as indication, that they existed only for adminstrative means. The local lock flags in the child systems stay untouched. So if you take over these users into the new CUA they get the correct lock flag form the child system.

Help! Solution Manager removing documents

I'm new to Solution Manager and I have something very strange going on. Whenever a document is signed as complete in acceptance review as soon as it is saved it disappears from the business process it was stored under. If I find the document it still exists in Solution Manager but it is not associated to anything. If I try where used I get the message "No usages for the document found" If I look at the history for the business process it says the document was removed.
Noit sure what to do. Anyone's help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Richard

Richard
When you upload a document and store it then press the save button in solar02 top row it will sav ur doc
next
if doc is there and not shown this happen if som1 press "-" minus button which removes the link from the project for this doc
but it is still stored in KW which solman uses
so if doc is to be removed then press Delete button
Hope above clarificaiton helps

Solar01/solar02 in solution manager: landscape structure definition- urgent

Hi Forum Members,
I need to understand whether this is possible and if it is then how do i do it; any step by step manual from SAP is available. We have solman 7.1 and project with type 'implementation' created. When i go to solar01/02 i can maintain business scenario for ERP with relevant business processes however our landscape is like ERP, CRM, Enterprise Portal , DMS (Document Management System), TREX. I wish to adjust solar 01 business process structure in a way that it reflects the entire landscape. So, regarding i have few questions as below. Please let me know your views ASAP as i am runnig very short of time to asetup
1. Is it possible to adust all these applications in the single business process structure e.g. one implementation project has business scenarios to ERP, CRM, EP and so on.
Business process structure we get is general with nodes after project creation in project administrtion is :
A.Organizational unit
B. Master Data
C. Business scenarios.
2. If not then do i have to create individual projects for each aplication like one for ERP and Other for CRM and so on.
For reference please see the below prototype i am expecting to achive by doing this (solar01) :
<Implementation Project>
A.Organizational unit
B. Master Data
C. Business scenarios
<Business scenario for ERP>
<Business scenario for CRM>
<Business scenario for EP>
<Business scenario for DMS>
<Business scenario for TREX>
D.Interfaces
<Applicable interfaces>
Regards
Rupesh Modi

Hi Prakhar,
Thank you for the quick reponse and feel really nice to see you on this queries posted by me. I saw plenty of your threads earlier clarifying so many things on SCN.
I wish to admit that i am new to solution manager. So from the understanding prospective would you confirm that in core you are saying that technically it cant be realized (individual business scenarios for each applicaton type) as you have explained that one scenario runs on different systems. I mean to say SAP doesnt support this that is what you wish to say? This confirmtaion is needed to rule out the option of adjusting business process structure as i am expecting to be.
Also, I have to select business scenario in 'business scenario' and adjust it to run on different systems in under GRAPHIC tab in solar01 provided logical components are mentioned appropriately. I am refering to below link for designing the business process structure
https://websmp203.sap-ag.de/~form/sapnet?_SCENARIO=01100035870000000202&_SHORTKEY=00200797470000089860&_OBJECT=011000358700000910652011E
Would appreciate your quick response

Solution Manager Diagnostic setup SM 4.0 NW2004s questions

Hi Experts,
Am new to solution manager and was trying today to setup SMD for the portals (EP 7.0 NW2004s). Here we have SM 4.0 (NW2004s) or SM 7.0 (as called now) already installed and used for different purpose. So i hope the SMD is already installed for this version. I am able to login to smd/admin page.
1. I did the monitoring system config. Now when I go to monitored system tab I get this message
Landscape DB is empty. Please make sure Component Analyzer is ready on monitored systems, and use "Refresh" button on this page
We haven't installed the component analyzer on the monitored systems. Where can we find it on SMP?
2. If any body could provide me with the document for the same or give me just the steps in sequential order for SMD setup or the latest setup guides as am bit confused reading guides I have. The guides available are for NW2004 i.e. SMD setup guide and SMD advanced setup (Version 1.0 June 2006) from SMP. I have also followed the blogs but there is nothing much on SMD setup.

I would definitely go to the highest support package level if you plan to install support packages. Many fixes have been incorporated.
RCA (Root Cause Analysis) is a function provided by SMD. To set that up check

Upgrade process to SAP Solution Manager 7.1

Hello!
We use SAP EHP 1 for SAP Solution Manager 7.0 (SPS 26) and plan to upgrade to the new SAP Solution Manager 7.1.
We currently do not have Java Stack there.
Some questions about Upgrade process
1) Can a direct Upgrade from SAP EHP 1 for SAP Solution Manager 7.0 (SPS 26) to SAP Solution Manager 7.1 be realized?
2) Should we first install Java Stack and then proceed with the Upgrade or otherwise?
3) Will Windows 32 Bit and None-Unicode Version of SAP Solution Solution Manager be supported?
It will be great to get some helpful information.
kind regards

Hello!
Trying to answer your question
1) As described in note 1244225, there no restriction to upgrade the Solman EHP1 to solman 7.1. Refer to the section:
In case you do not participate in this current Solution Manager 7.1 beta shipment there are no restrictions for implementing now SP stack 25 and upgrading in the future to an equivilant SP stack of release 7.1."
2) The Solman EHP1 must always be a dual stack system, I am not sure, how you are running the Solman EHP1 without a Java Stack, you should have one.
3) I am not sure if there will be a Solman 7.1 32Bit Non-UNICODE version. But, SAP recommends to run Solution Manager on Unicode (see also customer letter on http://service.sap.com/Unicode). At solman EHP1 there are some issues when running the system as Non_UNICODE, refer note 1383407.
I am not sure if I could clarify all your doubts.
You may check the following URL:
http://service.sap.com/instguides
- SAP Components
- Solution Manager 7.1
As this is a very new software there is few documents in it, but soon you should see a upgrade guide here.
