Accessing Component Information for systems connected to Solution Manager

We currently aggregate system component information for our ABAP systems through the following manual (and tedious) process:
Log into each ABAP system
Menu: System -> Status
Click Component Information button (magnifying glass icon)
Retrieve the information: Component, Release, Level, Support Package Name, Description.
Recently, we were drilling through Solution Manager Root Cause analysis -> Change reporting and noticed that this information is available for each system. In the ABAP-Software data store. This led us to consider if this information is contained within the Solution Manager BW cubes.
However when we looked at the SMD Change Analysis (thinking this would map to what we saw in the Change Analysis reporting), we didn't see this information.
So, the question is, does anyone have any thoughts were the Component information for systems is stored in Solution Manager? Ideally, we would like to tap into this source for our own custom report as opposed to retrieving it manually from each system as I described.
Thanks,
Jeff Henke

Hi Jeff,
the information about software components (and this is I think what you are looking for) is stored in the LMDB of Solution Manager. Each satellite system sends its component info into SLD (either in an external system or in Solution Manger itself). From there it is redirected to LMDB.
Try transaction LMDB in Solution Manager. There you have (depending on your SP-Stack) access to several reports to evaluate your landscape.
Best regards, Alexander

Hello Waseem,
Actually I want to configure a list of Customise component in side solution manager for incident management.( service desk)
when we create ticket in service desk (in Solman) we have to select a component for the respective module( like BASIS, MM , Etc) those are the standard
Components that is given by SAP. I want to change that list and want to put my own list of component in the system.
is it possible to do it in Solution manager? If yes then what sort of configuration required. ?

Basic Strategy / Best Practices for System Monitoring with Solution Manager

I am very new to SAP and the Basis group at my company. I will be working on a project to identify the best practices of System and Service level monitoring using Solution Manager. I have read a good amount about SAP Solution Manager and the concept of monitoring but need to begin mapping out a monitoring strategy.
We currently utilize the RZ20 transaction and basic CCMS monitors such as watching for update errors, availability, short dumps, etc.. What else should be monitored in order to proactively find possible issues. Are there any best practices you all have found when implimenting Monitoring for new solutions added to the SAP landscape.... what are common things we would want to monitor over say ERP, CRM, SRM, etc?
Thanks in advance for any comments or suggestions!

Hi Mike,
Did you try the following link ?
If not, it may be useful to some extent:
http://service.sap.com/bestpractices
---> Cross-Industry Packages ---> Best Practices for Solution Management
You have quite a few documents there - those on BPM may also cover Solution Monitoring aspects.

Hi Andrea,
Have you already tried to use SMSY to generate the "Back" Destination from customer system to your SolMan?
Once you have selected the customer system in SMSY, you are able to use the RFC connection wizard.
Alternatively, you can define the RFC destination manually.
For easier tracking and trouble shooting, I would recommend to setup a communication user in your SolMan for each individual connected managed customer system.
Assign the appropiate profiles to the user in your SolMan system and create the RFC destination in the managed customer system.

Quality Center Adapter - Connecting Multiple Solution Manager Systems

We are running Solution Manager 7/Enhp 1 and Quality Center 10 successfully using the Quality Center Adapter integration. My question is, can we connect multiple Solution Manager systems (i.e. SMP/SMS/SMX) to a single Quality Center server simultaneously? Or is there a one-to-one relationship restriction. Thanks.

I have answered this question in this post below:
http://forums.sdn.sap.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2110531&messageID=10962875#10962875
To quote myself
Each tie up is based on the logical ports at the Solution Manager end and the relationship between the two entities is between Projects. So if you set up the configuration like you would in a normal scenario and at the right moment, connect the projects in SolMans to the corresponding projects in HPQC, you should be fine.
Hope that helps.

Job that must be programmed to collect information for system log (sm21)

Please, Who is the job that must be programmed to collect information for system log (sm21) ?
Thank you very much.

Before you reinitialize your log shipping configuration, check to see if you can take a differential backup and restore that on top of your standby database. This is relatively easier than to take a full database backup just to reinitialize

I can take a diff backup.. But in my secondary, when i right click standby >tasks-->restore-->i can see only option to restore transaction log file. Other options are greyed out. How can i restore a diff backup now. If i bring the DB online with
restore with recovery, i have to restore a full backup before i can apply a diff backup.
Somebody provide me insight on below error
This secondary database is not functional because
the required copy or restore job cannot be found. You must remove this secondary database by clicking Remove. To resume log shipping to this secondary database, add it as a secondary again using the same settings.If
you resume log shipping and you specify the same restore path that you used before, any backup files that are uncopied or unrestored to this database will be copied and restored when it is added as a secondary again. Reinitializing the secondary database
is unnecessary."
I can see the LS_restore job and the job is running as per the schedule, we dont run copy job because
the backup directly falls in secondary server. wats the reason for the above error.

System Monitoring in Solution Manager 4.0

Hi all,
I want to set up system monitoring for landscape BW, ECC and SCM systems using Solution Manager 4.0 and am new to Sol Man.
So could anyone please help me with the steps.
Thanks in advance,
Sandeep.

Sandeep,
Trust me, there is no one resource that you can refer to and complete this system monitoring project. I recently configured this a couple of days ago. I can tell you that I haven't completed it yet. I have only completed the configuring the 'System Monitoring' part of it. I am yet to define monitors so that, I can monitor what I want of the satellite systems. So far, it took me about 4 days. Let me point out the basic steps you need to follow. Beyond that, please refer to the links I paste below:
Steps to configure 'System Monitoring' in Solution Manager:
1. Follow the 'Solution Manager Preparation' found under SPRO --> Solution Manager --> Read Me.
2. Make sure you have the latest ST-ICO and ST-SER installed in your Solution Manager (Note: 892412).
3. Make sure the Solution Manager has the latest support packages applied.
4. Prepare the 'Satellite Systems' as per note 455356:
     a. Create the role 'SAP_BC_CSMREG' (if it doesn't exist) with the following authorization objects
          --> S_CCM_RECV (with the objects and values mentioned in the above note)
          --> S_RFC (with the objects and values mentioned in the above note)
          --> S_RZL_ADM (with the objects and values mentioned in the above note)
          --> S_CUS_CMP (with the objects and values mentioned in the above note)
     b. Create a 'communication' user CSMREG (if it doesn't exist) and assign the profile S_CSMREG
5. Create the user CSMREG in Solution Manager using RZ21 transaction
          -->RZ21 --> Technical Infrastructure --> Configure Central System --> Create CSMREG user (Provide the required password and confirm).
6. An agent needs to be registered in all the satellite systems that collects the monitor statistics and pass on to the Solution Manager. Before registering the agent in the satellite system, a 'CSMCONF' file has to be generated in the Solution Manager and store it in a central location which, will be used by the CCMS agent while registration. This CSMCONF file holds the communication details for the agent to talk to the Solution Manager. To create CSMCONF file, proceed as follows:
          --> RZ21 --> Technical Infrastructure --> Configure Central System --> Create Start CSMCONF for Agents
          --> Store the file in a central location that can be accessed by the satellite system/s.
7. In the satellite system, copy the file 'CSMCONF' to the working directory of SAPCCM4X (F:\usr\sap\PD1\SYS\DVEBMGS01\log\sapccm4x - for example. If the 'sapccm4x' folder does not exist, create one).
8. Copy the downloaded 'SAPCCM4X.exe' file to the kernel directory on the satellite system.
9. Execute "sapccm4x -R pf=<path of the instance profile>". This should ask for the 'CSMREG' password and the admin user password on the solution manager system. Please input the same and confirm other questions. Upon confirmation, the CCMS agent should be registered in the satellite system.
10.Make sure you establish the trusted RFC connection on the Solution Manager to the satellite system you would want to monitor. This you can do from 'SMSY' transaction.
11.After successfully creating the RFC connections, and assigning the system to a logical component, please go to transaction, 'SOLUTION_MANAGER'. You can see the monitored system in the System Overview.

Hope this helps. Award with relevant points if my response is helpful.
Thank you.

RFC at customer for EWA into our Solution Manager

Hi,
I have created a BACK RFC in a customer system to get EarlyWatch reports sent into our Solution Manager.There is no direct connection between the 2 systems, so I'm connecting via their SAPRouter and our SAPRouter.
In the customer system in SM59 I've set up :-
RFC SM_<SID>CLNT100_BACK where <SID> is our SolMan
Routestring i.e. Target Host.- /H/<customer_internal_SAPRouter_IP/S/sapdp99/H/VAR_external_SAPRouter_IP/S/sapdp99/H/VAR_internal_Solman_IP/S/sapgw00
Gateway Host - VAR_internal_Solman_IP
Gateway service - sapgw00
Question 1 - Does RFC and routestring look correct?
I've also modifed saprouttab on the customer side with the entry :-
P ... VAR_external_SAPRouter_IP 3299
And on our side with the entry :-
P * * 3300
Question 2 - Do both saprouttab entries look correct?
I've also asked for our external firewall to allow traffic from the customer IP to get to our SAPRouter server.
Also for the customer firewall to allow traffic to our external SAPRouter IP
Question 3 - Have I missed anything on these 2 firewalls?
Question 4 - After the traffic reaches our SAPRouter server, are any changes to our internal firewall required for it to get to our Solution Manager system?
Any help is much appreciated - at the moment when we test the RFC on the customer system we can see traffic from the customer reaching our SAPRouter server, but then get an error in dev_rfc0 :-
Error RFCIO_ERROR_SYSERROR in abrfcpic.c : 2803
CPIC-CALL: 'ThSAPOCMINIT' : cmRc=17 thRc=223
CPIC program connection ended (read error)
dev_rd shows :-
ERROR => NiBufIProcMsg: hdl 52 received rc=-93 (NIEROUT_INTERN) from peer [nibuf.cpp 2125]
Thanks,
Richard Shaw

Hi Anil,
Thanks a lot.
SAP provides the EWA report for all its clients production system without a Solution Manager system & not provide the sam for non productive system. That means to say that for quality & developement system SAP does not provide a EWA report without a SOLMAn. For this system you must required SOLMAN to generate the report.

Jitu

Connection to Solution Manager

Hi All,
I need your knowledge about Solution Manager.
My Request:
I would like to make a connection to Solution Manager, is anyone can help me to do this connection, Is it possible to have or to know what information I can enter to go on the next .
Attach a Snapshot to see what I need.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Claude

Hi Claude,
just finishing connection PowerDesigner (16.5) <-> SOLMAN (7.1 SP08). So you will need:
1. Application server (address you can get from SAPGui):
2. Port number - you will need support from your Basis colleagues
3. User ID and Password to access SOLMAN
4. Importing structure from SOLMAN:
a, create new model:
b. change your model language to SOLMAN:
c. this will open possibility to import or export from/to SOLMAN in menu "Language":
d. choosing "Update..." will start Wizard where you will need your data from the beginning:
e. choose a project, processes and import it.
Hopefully helps :-)

Question about how to connect two solution manager

Hello experts
one of our clients wants to connect his SOLMAN to our SOLMAN, that way
when they receive a case in his ICM we can monitor the case and respond
It, if the situation requires or they ask for our help.
Can you please tell me if theres a way to connect them and what is the
best way to do that?
Thanks for your help,
Regards,

You are going to connect a Solution Manager to another Solution Manager, so I think it is enough to use the RFC destination on the connection.
I suppose you want to send a message from 7.0 to 7.1, so you may:
In Solman 7.0 system:
1. T-code SM59   > Define an RFC connection to 7.1 system;
2. T-code ICTCONF   > Add an entry for the 7.1 service desk, specify
the RFC Destination as the one you defined   > Activate -> Generate default value mapping (you may find the button on the top of ICTCONF).
In Solman 7.1 system:
1. T-code SM59   > Define an RFC connection to 7.0 system;
2. T-code ICTCONF   > Add an entry for the 7.0 service desk, specify the RFC Destination as the one you defined   > Activate -> Generate default value mapping;
3. Customize your own value mapping including the transaction type. You will find the details in:
    IMG -> SAP Solution Manager -> Capabilities (Optional)    -> Application Incident Management (Service Desk)    -> External Integration -> External Service Desk
Most fields of SIVA and SMIV are the same (for example, priority) so you do not need to care about the value mapping if you do not have special requirement. However, some fields only exist in SIVA category, subject) and others only exist in SMIV (multilevel categories). You may need to implement your own code according to your requirement.

Configuration issue on two items for system center 2012 config manager

My first issue was at the beginning of the install trying to extend the AD schema for system center 2012 config manager version 7.5.1561.0. The
path is missing for SMSSetup\Bin\x64\ to execute
Extadsch.exe is not on my disc. There is only a x86 and 64 bit folder with no bin.
Second issue when creating configuration manager connector. Error connecting to the database. So i went to my sqlserver and checked the permissions on the account I did notice that there are no smsdbrole_extract role permissions. Did I miss a step somewhere
along the way? On a side not that this is an instance and not under the default place. Also, i am using sql 2008 R2 version.

OK, nothing wrong with that per se, but it has nothing to do with ConfigMgr. Also, ConfigMgr is not a "module", it's a distinct product unto itself with its own unique requirements and dependencies that is also architecturally completely different. So,
there's nothing to uninstall to install ConfigMgr. Also, I hope you're not trying to install these products on the same server. That is OK for a small lab environment, but nothing more. Even then, I wouldn't do it since its never something you'd do in production.
As mentioned, each product has its own unique dependencies with no true overlap.

Connection from Solution manager to SapNet

Hi,
I want connect from solution manager to sapnet for downloading support packages. What i need to do ?
I think that i need to:
1. official IP address for solution manager host ? Could this ip address be one in all network and routed to solution manager host ?
2. Install sap router on solution manager host ?

Hi Mindaugas,
For getting SAP Solution manager connected to SAP Net the following where mandatory
We Should have a official IP address of the computer on which SAP router can be configured. Its not necessary that you should have it in solution manager server. You can have it in any of the computer within your network and configure SAP router in that machine. This should be an official and registered IP address. You cannot use address such as
10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255
172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255
192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255
Later solution manager can be connected to SAP net using three RFC connections SAPOSS, SAP-OSS, SAP-OSS-LIST-O01. But before starting this make sure that you have configured SAP router correctly. Only then these RFC connections will work.
Also refer Note: 28976

System Monitoring though Solution Manager

Hi ,
Can someone tell me SAP Notes for doing system monitoring through Solution Manager if i don`t want to use CCMS .

Hi
I think you are looking for Central monitoring using Solman .. If yes please go through the following links
http://service.sap.com/moniotring
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/docs?rid=/webcontent/uuid/30237989-0901-0010-70a4-944691eb5e52 [original link is broken]
You are still going to use CCMS but if an alert occurs in satelite system , it will forward this alrt to Solman and solman will send out the alert .This happens if you configure central auto reaction , You can also monitor other system by adding the systems to Solman using SMSY_SETUP/SMSY and define solution using DSWP/SOLUTION_MANAGER . These are well documented with screens in
http://service.sap.com/rkt --> Solution manager --> Solman Manager < rel > --> Technology Consultants and System Administrator
I dont think there is any note which talks about the entire configuration
Thanks

VssNullProver stopped after installing Update Rollup 3 for System Center Data Protection Manager 2012 R2

I recently installed Update Rollup 3 for System Center Data Protection Manager 2012 R2.
As part of the update I updated all DPM Agents, including the ones on our Hyper-V Servers (which are part of a cluster). I also rebooted every DPM Protected Servers. After reboot all Hyper-V Servers raise a warning that the VssNullProvider service has stopped.
Backup seems to work properly. I can start the VssNullProvider service manually. But after the next backup the service it is stopped again. Exactly the same issue occurs on our test Hyper-V Cluster. All our Hyper-V Servers run Windows Server 2012 R2 and
we use System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2012 R2.
Something is not ok with Update Rollup 3. Any suggestions?
