Business process (Integration) monitoring - Solution Manager?

Hi Experts
I have a requirement here for business process monitoring at my client. The client wants to have a solution for monitoring of few key business processes for example incoming orders. The flow data flow is as follows: third party system -> AS2 -> XI1 ->XI2 -> MQ->ERP. Ideally, all the incoming messages should be processed within 3 minutes of sending by thirdy party system. The basic requirement from business to have a view of the number of messages sent by the external system and numbers of orders created in the system and if there is any message with processing time of more than 3 minutes, it should be reported. Also, if there is any failure in any of the points of failure - the reason of failure needs to be reported
I am thinking of using solution mnaager diagnostics and willy introscope for collecting data from XI Adapter framweork and Integration engine and the ERP system.
My queries -
Can solution manager fetch the data from non SAP system - AS2 service/MQ etc? if yes, how?
The solution i am thinking of - is it good one or is there any better solution - light weight/performance efficient?
In case i go ahead with the approach mentioned above, would there be an extra licensing cost for installing SMD agents and Willy on different applications?
Can we do a simple reporting i ERP system by fetching data from XI1 & XI2 systems? I understand that it wouldnt give us any details of the Java components or non SAP applications, but keeping in mind the limitations, is it a viable solution?
Any inputs would be great.
Regards

HI Ethan,
I'm not sure about the BPMon framework in Sol MAn 7.0 if it can be used with PI or not. I remember from teched that the end-to-end monitoring for PI was available only in 7.1 and with SAP PI 711.
From what I know wily gives you information about the status on the system (CPU, memory consumption etc) and not about the message flow so you can still use it but for the technical monitoring set up.
Also in teched I have participated at a hands-on workshop (ALM361 [http://www.sapteched.com/emea/edu_sessions/session.htm?id=542]) where we enabled the BPMon framework to use webservices provided by a non-sap application.
Hope this helps.

How to downloadin Business Process Repository in Solution Manager?

Hello,
Does anybody know how to download whole Business Process Repository from solution manager?
I know how to download BPR, that are related to project, to excel file, but I want to download all the scenarios,processes are inbuilt to the Solution Manager business blueprint.
Can anybody help me?
Thanks,
Mahantesh

Hello Mahantesh,
I suppose that your idea behind this question is that you would like to browse the contents of the BPR. For this specific pupose, SAP will deliver a new web dynpro application with SAP Solution Manager 4.0 SP 12 and the respective stack coming out mid June 2007 which allows you to browse all BPR contents in your SAP Solution Manager system. So you no longer have to create a seperate project and select the contents via F4 value help in SOLAR01 in order to access the contents.
For further updates, please check the news mid June:
<a href="http://service.sap.com/solutionmanager">http://service.sap.com/solutionmanager</a>
Media Library -> Technical Papers. It will probably be called: "4.0 Support Package Stack <latest stack> [probably stack 12]"
However, please note that an individual download of the entire or partial BPR structures into MS Excel will not be possible.

Establishing current business process baseline in Solution Manager

Hello Guru,
We had implemented ECC 5.0 a year ago.
We had used business blueprint SOLAR01, SOLAR02, to document some of the business processes. We found ourself currently have an incompleted business process blueprint.
We want to use Solution Manager to manage the ECC 6.0 upgrade, how do we establish the current business process baseline?
Is there a tool that will browse through ECC 5.0, and create business process map of what the current business processes that have been implemented, and the configuration objects that have been customized?
Thanks in Advance,
Anny

Hi Anny,
I am afraid there isn't a tool that can help retrospectively build SOLAR01 or SOLAR02 related structure and contents.
The only three possible areas for exploration I can suggest for you to investigate further, are:
(1) Use of Reverse Business Engineer (RBE)
(2) Use of SAP TAO to at least build Testing scope retrospectively
(3) Seek any views from IDS-Scheer on whether they have any plug ins for ARIS that can do a retrospective process mapping

Business Process Procedure from SOlution Manager

Hello Gurus,
I am working on technical upgradation from 4.7 E to ECC 6.0. We will have to create Business Process Procedures for each module. Could you please tell me how we need to extract the BPPS from solution manager.
Thanks and Regards,
Pavan P.

Hi Pavan,
The way to extract from BPS may be a long drawn one. The shorter way is to attempt the following:
Go to http://service.sap.com/solutionmanager, supply your OSS ID and password.
a) On the left hand panel, go to SAP Solution Manager in Detail -> Implementation -> Implementation Content
OR
b) Downloads -> view screen on the right hand side and then click on "overview of the current implementation content".
I'll try to figure out any other way and get back to you.
Best regards,

Business Process Repository in Solution Manager

My question on the BPR is two-fold:
1) Where exactly is the file located in the marketplace to update the BPR for Solution Manager 4.0? I've looked and I've searched and have been unsucessful in finding it?
2) From the current BPR in Solution Manager is it possible to extract the data there into a csv, txt or xls file? I've seen another thread in the forum on extraction (a link was provided) and unfortunately the link that was provided did not hold the information required to answer this particular question?
Regards
Dan

Hi Daniel,
>1) Where exactly is the file located in the marketplace to update the BPR for Solution

How do you restrict access to a business process structure in Solution Mngr

We have set up a business process structure in Solution Manager that includes Finance to Manage and Hire to Retire.
Although it is Ok for people to display the documentation in each area, we do have the requirement that the people owning Finance to Manage should not able to change the documentation in Hire to Retire and visa versa. Is there a security object that restrict this access? Are there other ways doing this?
Thanks
Paul

I am not a security person, but we have the following details in the profile. You can change these if you click on these areas changing it to display or change mode
SAP Solution Manager Tab AI_SA_TAB
--> SAP Solution Manager Tab
---> Activity 02, 90
---> Tab in SAP Solution Manager BCSETS, CONFIG, CUSTDOCU, GRAPHIC, IMG, ISSUE, (ETC.)
> Transaction Type in SAP Solution Manager 1
Hope this helps

API for Central Monitoring/Solution Manager

I am new to SAP. I have been asked to investigate writing a .Net application which can obtain and process information that would be manually viewed using Centrol Monitoring / Solution Manager. I have been searching and haven't found the appropriate documentation. I assume that a .Net client can act as a WCF client. Does such a programmatic interface exist? Where can I find documentation on the API? A typical kind of information that we want to retrieve is number of Logged On Users.

Hi,
Please review http://service.sap.com/solutionmanager
Click on the Media > Documentation on the left side to get a list of many documentations available to download for Solution Manager.

Business Blueprint Structures in Solution Manager

Hi,
Can we change the structure node names under Business Blueprint tree on Solution manager. This is accessed by SOLAR01 transaction.
Thanks and Regards,
Vinayak Thorat

Hi Sai
answer is more simple the way you add standard business process in structure tab solar01, same way you can add master data or organization model for business process.
e.g.
you can add customer master or vendor master as a master data for a E2E process
in all the situation we use this because practically no process works without master data but its upto the level of documentation you want to make in solution manager rather than dumping project documents only and making it more meaningful by adding above
i hope you have got the answer now

Are you utlizing SAP's Quality Center with Integration to Solution Manager?

Hello,
I am interested in hearing from folks who are utilizing SAP's Quality Center with or without Integration to Solution Manager. Please post your experience on setting this up and realizing the benefits, i.e. efforts involved, what features of HPQC you are using, is it a good tool to use for integrated SAP testing etc.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Abu

Hi
I luv solman so if u ask me i can do all with solman itself and say not to go with Quality center

So far i have done 5 Test Management implementation including both type of test casees automatic and manual and all are managed with solman

Monitoring BI PROCESS CHAIN with Solution Manager BPMON

Hello,
I'm trying to setup the monitoring of BI process chain using the BPMON
I setup the process chain monitoring using BPmon application monitoring "BI Process Chain Monitoring" (BOBIPCMO)
but than I'm not able to read the process chain names,steps,and variant from satellite system
On other systems,using different application monitor (like PI MONITOR) is working fine
i'm using the latest plug-in ST-A/PI 01L_BCO700 on entire landscape
My bi system is 7.01 EHP1 sp4
solution Manager is 7.01 EHP1 SP20
Any suggestiions?
Thanks
Marco

Hello Marco,
the problem is that the Process Chain monitor is not yet available with ST-A/PI 01L*. Unfortunately the empty hull that you see during the setup was shipped without the proper content. The Process Chain monitor will be properly shipped with the next ST-PI and ST-A/PI combination in Q2/2010.
Sorry for any inconvenience caused.
If you want to have this monitor earlier on it could be implemented via Customer Exit in case that you have some MaxAttention or Safeguarding engagement.
Best Regards
Volker

Business Process Integration using Web Services

Hi!
I'm interested to know if there are any products available today that can help a
Java developer integrate loosely coupled components into a business process. I thought
of doing this using existing Java APIs but I don't want to build all the infrastructure
myself, like translating from Java to XML and back, dealing with persistence of the
process context, correlating messages, etc.
I looked at BEA Workshop but realized it is mainly good for creating asynchronous
web services with a callback pattern but they don't address long-lived multi-step
business processes.
I've also posted my question on TheServerSide.com and was referred to Collaxa's Web
Service Orchestration Server which I'm going to evaluate shortly (http://www.theserverside.com/discussion/thread.jsp
thread_id=13413)
Thanx! Jill.

Jill,
Collaxa offers indeed a solution that reduces the complexity of integrating multiple
synchronous and asynchronous web services into a long-lived multi-step business process.
It relies on an innovative JSP-like abstraction (called ScenarioBeans).
You can download the product and kick the tires at http://www.collaxa.com
Tibco and Web Methods also offer solutions in that space.
Finally you might be able to tweak WLI using XML events to support asynchronous Cajun
style web services.

Edwin

BCP Microsoft Platform integration with Solution Manager

Hi
Is it possible to integrate BPC Microsoft platform 7.0 and 7.5 with Solution Manager?
If so how? Is there documentation available explaining the process?

Hi Johan,
There is some level of integration available with Solution Manager. To set up your system for Diagnostics, refer to "End-to-End Root Cause Analysis System Landscape Setup Guide", which is available on Service Marketplace at [https://service.sap.com/sapidb/011000358700000074392009E|https://service.sap.com/sapidb/011000358700000074392009E], and follow the chapters that apply to Planning and Consolidation.
You can also access this document by going to [http://service.sap.com/diagnostics|http://service.sap.com/diagnostics] and selecting the Media Library link under the "More Documentation" section. The document is labeled "SAP Solution Manager Landscape Setup Guide".
Thanks.
