BPC (Outlooksoft) and SAP Solution Manager

Has anyone seen the SAP Solution Manager used to rollout and/or upgrade Outlooksoft (now called BPC - Business Planning and Consolidation)?
I am trying to assess the usefulness of this tool in an implementation where the only SAP module the company has is Outlooksoft (BPC), so all thoughts are appreciated.
Best regards,
Greg

Question was never answered but I'm closing it due to SDN's number of open question per user limitation.

Powerbuilder and SAP Solution Manager

Hello,
Do you know if SAP Solution Manager supports Powerbuilder? or, what SAP product can I use to complement powerbuilder through the entire development cycle of a system, including stress tests?
Thanks in advance!
Isaac Cabrera

Hi there,
I think my question is not clear
I already installed Solman and its running. And we used the default name for the MSSQL Instance.
My question is: During the installation of SAP ECC 5.0. this means:
1) Installation of MSSQL Instance
2) Installation of ECC 5.0 Software
by the installation of the MSQL Instance I get the question if I want to use default name for the DB instance (which is not possible because its already used for DB instance for Solman instance) or another SID.
And my question: Is it ok to use another SID? (Think that DB name and SAPSID should be the same for SAP).
if yes, why its saying that SAP recommend default? Does this will make me problem with SAP later?
This is what is making me afraid and that why I am trying to get a help to be sure that this is possible and will not make any problems for SAP.
I hope its clear now
Best regards

Upgrade to SAP Solution Manager 3.2 to 7.0 EHP

Dear Experts
At present I am using SAP Solution manager 3.2. Now I am planing to update SAP Solution Manager 7.0.
I am some confutation in SAP Solution Manager 7.0 and SAP Solution Manager 7.0 EHP1,
what i do please help me.
Regards
Sanjay C.

EHP1 is basically a product enhancement of 700 - i.e offers new functionality
Usually to get to Enhancement packages you need to be operating NW2004S stack based product - in this case 4.0 (now called Solution Manager 7.0)
I think this proposal will require first an upgrade from 3.2 to 4.0
then after applying Enhancement Package EHP1 and following pre-reqs for both steps
Also bearing in mind that Solution Manager is RFC dependant any change in SID, Hostname or client will require
all RFC connections will need to be adapted
There may also be special considerations depending on source configuration or the active Solution Manager scenarios and content
I would take a look at following PDF for reference - it may help in the initial 3.2-->4.0 upgrade

SAP Solution Manager and SAP Production Server on Single Host

We are rolling out our new infrastructure using high end Solaris Servers that have plenty of grunt.
I am looking at running SAP Solution Manager 7 and SAP Netweaver 6 on the same HOST using two Oracle databases.
We will use 10g and have 2 separate transport volumes for transports. The Development and test environments will be very similar.
Appreciate any advise or thoughts. We are not looking at virtualising this particular environment.

Technically you can do that - yes. I could also imagine in installing the ERP on the bare metal and the SolMan in a zone, together with a processor set you can limit resource usage and you´re totally isolated from your production environment and will so make sure that SolMan is not stealing necessary resources from your production environment.

Questions on "FAQ - SAP Solution Manager for VARs"

Hi,
I just got through the FAQ - SAP Solution Manager for VARs, but have some further questions:
For me it is not quite clear which connections are necessary for which VAR scenrio.. currently we have setup the service desk in our solman. Customer's aren't linked to the solman yet - we have saprouter-saprouter connections. Connecting them via SAP support backbone is an interesting option, especially for incident management. To get this working we should follow note 1124718 right?
But what about the other scenarios like maintenance optimizer and ewa monitoring? I guess for that we definitly need to build up RFC connections to each relevant customer system (~300+x)?! I think it will be hard to handle so many connections - just consider if a customer is cancalling the maintenance contract, everything needs to be removed again... best would be to have a central communication point...
For MOPZ we need up-to-date system information. So everyone is talking about SLD. Do you also recommend this option? There we need again a connection (direct to SolMan SLD or via external SLD on customer side).
According to the FAQ there is a workaround for ewa monitoring for customers with security doubts.. is this also working for non-ABAP components? We need SMD and WI for generating ewas for JAVA systems...
With regards to Enterprise Support contract: ewa only need to be monitored for productive systems? Can a customer be charged if they want to have ewas monitored for other sytems too? How long do we need to keep the ewas (1 month, 3 months, half year) before they are deleted? Are there any specific requirements?
All the work to get these scenarios working.. is this covered within the Enterprise Support contract? Can the customer be charged for work thats done by the VAR in their system (e.g. RFC connections, SDCCN, SLD,...)?
Sorry for this long text.. hope you have some helpful ideas!
Regards,
Richard

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

Install SAP Solution Manager with DEV instance in the same server (MCOD)

Hello, i would like to install SAP Solutions Manager together with DEV ECC 6.0 in the same host, DEV is currently installed and working fine.
I followed note 551915 to convert MS-SQL 2005 to MCOD (change of schema from dbo to dev) and worked fine. But when i am installing the SolMan through the sapinst i don´t see the option MCOD
The only option i am confussed is
MS SQL Server
Database reuse o - New Database (DBSID = SAPSID)
o - Use Existing Database
Database ID (DBSID)
Witch option should i choose to perform a MCOD installation? new db or use existing db (DEV)?
Kind Regards

Hi Merchan, if you want to use MCOD you need to select the option: o - Use Existing Database
Database ID (DBSID) .

Solution Manager Installation Error "SAP SOLUTION MANAGER 7.0 EHP 1"

I am new to SAP and currently trying to install SOLMAN 7.0 EHP 1 on Windows Server 2008 R2. I have read the documentation also. For JDK I have used "j2sdkfb-1_4_2_24-rev-b06-windows-amd64.exe" which looks to be working fine.
The installation process runs fine until it hits "Start Instance" the message on the bottom says "Starting instance xxx/DVEBMGSOO" (where xxx is my sid) and then its times out after 10 minute. After timing out I get the following error on the window.
An error occurred while processing option SAP Solution Manager 7.0 EhP1 > SAP Systems > Oracle > Central System > Central System( Last error reported by the step: ABAP processes of instance ORC/DVEBMGS00 ABAP: UNKNOWN did not start after 10:00 minutes. Giving up.). You can now:
Choose Retry to repeat the current step.
Choose Log Files to get more information about the error.
Stop the option and continue with it later.
Log files are written to C:\Program Files/sapinst_instdir/SOLMAN/SYSTEM/ORA/CENTRAL/AS.
Though the installation steps are not fully completed but I do see SAP management Console and when I open it I see two process running "msg_server.exe" & "igswd.exe" The process dispwork.EXE starts in the beginning and then stops and stays stopped. I tried restarting all the process again but only tow of them starts and the process "dispwork.EXE" starts but then stops again. I also did a NEW installation considering a file could have been corrupted or something else but the installation process stops and the same place. I am sure ppl have installed SOLMAN on windows 2008 R2 and this error seems common to me. Please assist. Any tips would be nice.
Edited by: amirsd on Aug 3, 2011 5:53 PM

Hi,
Please check the below
1) ip/host entries should be in /etc/hosts
2) patch the latest kernel for 2008 R2
and re run installation

EWA for Business Objects (XI 3.1) within SAP Solution Manager

Hello!
We use Business Objects (XI 3.1) and would like to get weekly a EWA report within our SAP Solution Manager.
Our SAP Solution Manger has only ABAP stack and it has the SPS version 25.
We also do not use Wily Introscope/Diagnostics and E2E tools within SAP Solution Manager.
Question
Is it possible to set up EWA for Business Objects with our requirements (SOLMAN with ABAP stack and without E2E/Diagnostics tools)?

Hello,
The short answer is no. You can verify this in SAP Note 1507629 - Preparing a BOE system for Service Sessions in Sol. Manager.
"...1.) Managed System Setup
Perform the Managed System Setup for SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise as
described in the "End-to-End Root Cause Analysis System Landscape Setup
Guide". This guide can be found in the SAP Service Market Place:
-> http://service.sap.com/diagnostics
-> Navigate to the "Media Library"
-> Open the document "SAP Solution Manager Landscape Setup Guide"
Please ensure that you perform all steps mentioned in the guide which
are relevant for your product and version. Please read also SAP note
1357901, which is also referred to in the above mentioned setup guide."
So this is a requirement. There are also pdf documetns attached to this note that describe how to setup the EWA in Solution Manager. EGI_SBOP_EWA_part1.pdf and EGI_SBOP_EWA_part2.pdf.
The fact you have no Java stack and have not installed Diagnostics, just means it has not been done. It can be done and then you can do a managed system setup, and the balance of tasks required to prepare the system and Solution manager to generate EWA reports for the BOE system. Its just more work, not a show stopper.
Regards,
Paul
