Changing Solution manager landscape and having a Virtual production system

We have a 2 line landscape like this
Line1: DEV1 - QAS1 - PROD1
Line2: DEV2 - QAS2 - VirtualPROD.
During our golive pahse the QAS1 in Line1 will be replaced by the QAS2 in Line2 and Lin 2 will be on hold for a while.
My questions,
1) does any one have any experience in topic?, on how to change the system landscape without closing any tasklist/maintenance cycle or project.
2) We have some problems with logging on to QAS system from the change request when having a virtual production system, it works fine from the tasklist.
Unfortunalty we can't see anything in the log.
3)When having multiple QAS systems in one Line , how can the import the change to the second QAS system be handled when using urgent correction since only one QAS is in the task list the one which feeds the production system. (Urgent correction always uses the shortest path to production)
Comments, references and all else is valuable.

Question #2
Apperently does the system check for a connection to the production system and since it's virtual there is no rfc , so would it be possible to create an rfc to a virtual system?

Solution Manager DEV and PRD box

In my landscape i have 2 systems for solution manager SMD and SMP , what is the ideal way sap community is using them ...should i divide the solman roles among them or how the 2 system landscape of solman is used ..
Regards

Hello Tiger,
In my experience many SAP customers have a one or two system landscape in Solution Manager.
For customers whose main line of business is providing service with the Solution Manager, I would recommend a three system landscape (dev, qas and prd). For customers who run less critical functionality with Solution Manager, and when costs of hosts for the Solution Manager systems are an issue, one or two tier system landscapes can be also considered. Other than this, I don't know any document with precise guidelines to answer your question. At the end it all depends on the scenarios you want to run, and how critical the functionality you run with Solution Manager is for your company.

How can I change "manually manage music and videos" option whitout loose my files?

When I change "manually manage music and videos" option iTunes delete all my files first. This a stupid thing from Apple.
Anybody knows if exists a way to change this option without loose the contents in iPhone?

Denis DCS wrote:
...New iTunes installation...
There's the magic words right there.
The iPhone will only sync with 1 iTunes library at a time. If you want to sync to a new iTunes installation, you have to re-establish the sync relationship, which means wiping the phone and replacing the content with what's in the current iTunes library on the computer.
There is NO WAY around this.

Solution manager landscape ?

Does Solution Manager landscape requires a typical 3 system landscape or is it like
one SOLMAN server for all the landscape.

Hello,
the technical prerequisites for Business Process Monitoring are described in SAP note 784752. Otherwise you find plenty of information in the Media Library under https://service.sap.com/bpm
If you need functional consultants or not is somewhat depending on the scope you want to use for BPMon. You will see that BPMon provides a broad scope of out-of-the-box functionality which can be application related but can also be only used by technical guys, e.g. IDOC, qRFC, tRFC, File or background job monitoring.
So there is no general answer to it. If you want to do full-blown BPMon then you will also need functional expertise.

Solution manager, PI and ERP incl FICA (IS-U) test systems on same HANA DB server Appliance

Hello
I wander is it possible to have Solution manager, PI and ERP incl FICA (IS-U). All for test/system purposes:
I am sure we need separate application servers for Solution manager, PI and ERP incl FICA (IS-U),
I would have question regarding Appliance i.e Hana DB server. can Solution manager, PI and ERP incl FICA (IS-U) products reside on same Appliance i.e Hana DB server in MCOS or MCOD? (I am sure that for production use this is no-go option)
What is the case when renting cloud solution?
Thank you a lot in advance

Check the java part, most of the Solman Web Based thing use the java, check the management console to ensure message server and dispatcher proper work, normally is: http://hostname:50113.
If central note give you problems deimplement all the not complete implemented notes and use SUM
and MOPZ to update your system with the last SP, then apply the central note acording to your SP level.
We found that have the system in the last level prevents a lot of problems because of not complete implemented notes.

Relationship between Solution Manager Diagnostic and CCMS

We are just now looking at Solution Manager Diagnostics and central monitoring in Solution Manager. One thing we are not clear on, and haven't seen anything definitive on, is the relationship between these and CCMS.
Any insight or link to documentation would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Jeff Henke

Solution Manager Diagnostics is a diagnostic tool, not a real-time monitoring and alerting tool. CCMS is for real-time monitoring and alerting, and SMD does in fact get data from your CCMS agents, as well as from saposcol and Wily Introscope.
Hope that helps,
David.

Solution Manager EWA - cannot create session in satellite system

"Hi,
I want to configure EWA self service using Solman 4.0. I succesfully did the following :
a. Maintained SMSY and create the required trusted RFC connections from SM to satellite system. All connection and authorization passed in SM59. I used SAP_ALL/SDCCN_ALL role and assigned objects S_RFC*.
b. Assigned the system to a logical system.
c. Created the a new solution and activate "Solutions Monitoring > Earlywatch Alert"
d. Activated and maintained required RFC in SDCCN in satallite system.
My problem is that the create EWA alert request (Red Flag with a specific session number ) coulnd be pass to the satelitte system even though all the trusted RFC and authorization is set. When i execute the SESSION_REFRESH in the satellite system, the session is not created.
Did I miss out any steps. Can any one share any help ?
FYI, there is no connection to SAPOSS yet, so i did not manage to run RTCCTOOL completed, but i doubt this is required for EWA self service."
I have the same problem as Solution Manager EWA - cannot create session in satellite system
tried all of solutions, but it does not help... Created the CM (high) for SAP, but get 1 response for 1 week from them:(

Dear Sapbcer,
Have you tried the following option :
Execute SMSY and from the Server entry Execute the "Read System Data Remote" option in change mode.
Save the data captured and then try using Refresh Session Task from SDCCN of the satellite system. Do select the RFC for Solution Manager while performing this task.
Hope this helps.

Query developement and se16 access on productive system

Hi,
we are setting up an authorization concept on ERP2004s and our users asking for query development rights and se16 on our productive system. I think queries and se16 should be on the test system due to security reasons. Please post some feedback how do you think about it!? I think queries should be developed on the test system and transported.
Thank you in advance!
Best regards
Frank

Hi Frank,
I dont think that you can give access to writing a quaery in production system.
writing a query also need access to:
Transaction Code: SE16
Authorization object: S_TABU_DIS
Activity: 02 AND 03
Risk: The risk here is that users who have this access, have the ability to maintain table data directly in the production system. This includes transactional, masterfile, security and configuration data.
Hope it is useful.
Please award points if it is useful.
Thanks & Regards,
Santosh

Email and SMS Alerts - Solution Manager - PI and EP

Hi All,
I am trying to do the below scenario.....But somehow i am lost in the process.
I have a three system PI landscape and a Solution Manager. I have included the DEV PI in solution manager for CCMS,the CCMS agents are online and it also reflects in RZ20.
Now the requirement is SOLMAN should send email and sms alerts in below situations which occur in PI system.
1.The ABAP or JAVA engine goes down.
2.One of the filesystem crosses certain predefined limit.
3.Any of the java server node stops working
4.If any critical job gets cancelled in sm37
I am looking at steps on how to define the alert categories, auto reaction methods, also the nodes where i have to assign these auto reaction methods.
I have gone through CCMS documentations, played all sim files and gone through most of the pdf files but i am not able to establish proper steps to do it.
I am Redhat Linux,Oracle 10g, SOLMAN 7 with PI7
Can i extend the same for the EP systems also which are pure Java Stack Systems ?
Also i would like to know if i can send customized alert messages.
Best Regards
Raghu

Hi Juan,
Thanks for your response.
I am looking at the MTE classes i.e for the above situations which MTE classes are required.
Also i have read in some document that we can send the alerts directly to the email IDs and cell numbers without having to mention them in user masters in SU01. Where to mention these ?
I have my SCOT settings done for email servers.
The process which i had built up in my mind is all mixed up and i am lost where to do which configuration
Best Regards

Solution manager, SLD and SAP MC

Hello,
It seems that both System landscape directory and SAP management console have some overlapping features. The services can be started or stopped in both. Is it true? Does anyone know the difference between these 2 and where does Solution manager fit in?
Thanks
Shaiikil

We can stop, start SAP services from NWA. Now we cannot say Netweaver, NWA and MMC are similar...
MMC is a tool/enviroment provided by microsoft for starting stopping services, managing user rights, security settings, policies and so on...
this can never be compared with SAP Environment for similarities.
Feel free to revert back.

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>

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

Change Request Management users and their profiles

Hello!
I would like know which users are useful for the usage of change request management functionality within SAP Solution Manager and which profiles should they have?
Users: Requester, Service Desk Empl., Change manager, Change advisory board(?), Developer, Tester, IT Operator, Administrator(?)
Profiles: SAP_SOCM_REQUESTER, SAP_CM_DEVELOPER_COMP, SAP_CM_CHANGE_MANAGER_COMP, SAP_CM_TESTER_COMP, SAP_CM_PRODUCTIONMANAGER_COMP, SAP_CM_ADMINISTRATOR_COMP,
SAP_CM_OPERATOR_COMP
The problem I have:
I get the errors (s. bellow), when I try to set correction in Development with development profile.
<b>- you are not authorized to perform the activity selected last
- No maintenance cycle is open for the current system</b>
The solution for this problem is to log in with user who has "SAP_ALL" to recheck
the correction.
Thank you very much!
regards
Thom

Dear Thom,
Please verify the note : 881553, this problem occur when the user not have SAP_CM_ADMINISTRATOR_COMP profile..

Solution Manager/Charm and Transport Dependency Check

Hello Everyone,
I apologize if this question has an obvious answer. I have searched SDN and could not get a 100% answer.
We are just now in the process of rolling out Charm/Solution Manager and I have noticed that it appears to not perform transport dependency checks. For example, let's say I am working on object ABC and have completed my testing (ready for transport to production) and then another developer also starts development on object ABC. When my change is moved to production, it will pick up the other developers modifications without giving a warning or an error that a dependency has been encountered between the two transport requests.
Does Charm/Solution Manager offer the option of producing a warning should a transport depedency be identified? If so, will someone explain (or point me to the appropriate documentation) how this can be set up?
Best Regards,
Scott

Hi Scott,
ChaRM supports imports from DEV->QAS->PRD by transport by transport requests level not by transport request task level. So don't worry(i.e., You can't import only your change of object ABC to production. It allows to import your change and other user's change of object ABC together to production).
This is how it works(if more than an user works on the same object):
1. Requester creates a support message from satelitte system to report a problem.
2. Service desk employee creates a change document because some changes need to be done on object ABC to correct that reported problem.
3. Change Manager approves the change document. So a normal correction is created automatically.
4. This normal correction is assigned to 2 developers(your scenario) like for an example DVPR1 and DVPR2.
5. DVPR1 creates a transport request and does some changes on object ABC. So a transport task will be created for DVPR1 under that transport request automatically.
6. When DVPR2 tries to do some changes on the same object ABC, a seperate transport task(not a transport request) will be created for DVPR2 under the same transport request because the object ABC is locked under the transport request. So DVPR2 can't create a separate transport request for the same object if any transport request is pending(not released).
7. Now object ABC will have one transport request. That transport request will have 2 transport tasks(1 for DVPR1 and 1 for DVPR2).
8. Each developer relases their transport task only(not transport request) once he/she completes his/her change on the object ABC.
9. DVPR1 or DVPR2 will change the status of normal correction to "Development Completed".
10. Now, IT operator or DVPR1 or DVPR2 can release the transport request. The transport request can be released only if all tasks are released under the same transport request.
(In this example: DVPR1 completed his change and released his transport task. Next DVPR2 completed and released his transport task).
11. Finally IT operator import the transport request to QAS and PRD.
Hope you are clear now. Let me know if you have any doubts.
Regards,
Sanjai

Solution Manager Landscape Strategy

Hi Everyone
Can anyone please point me the document that talks
about Solutiom Manager landscape strategy. Is it recommend to
have Sandbox, Dev/QA/Prod instance of Solutiom Manager or we just need
one instance and connect all other system.
Thank you

I will add my two cents...
A three SM landscape strategy works pretty good:
#1 - Sandbox Solman - no satellite system connectivity; open access; used for the purposes of testing patches and exploring solman functionality - mostly for basis' purposes.
#2 - 'Development' Solman - only satellite systems that are NOT on the path to production would be connected here - such as a sandbox. This solman system would be used for configuration of solman itself [example, your solman team would configure solman functionality here]. It is also a good practice environment for PM's because it would have a small landscape attached to it [your sandboxes, remember]? Migrations start here for solman functionality...
#3 - 'Production' Solman - ALL path to production satellite systems connected here, except your sandboxes [which were connected to #2 remember?]. This system also serves as a target system for migrations that came from #2 [for solman functionality itself], This is the main solman box that most users will access for project management, blueprinting, config, charm, and so forth.
This type of landscape satisfies ITIL requirements as changes made to solman itself are migrated from #2 to #3; changes are not made directly in the prod box.
Hope this helps,
Jen

Solution Manager Landscape Components

Hi,
   I am in the process of configuring Maintenance Optimizer.
   I have SolutIon Manager Development(SMD) and Solution Manager Production(SMP).
   I have some confusion
   When I go to TC SYSY in SMD the Landscape Components are ECC DEV,SM4 DEV and Sand Box.
   The same when I see in Production I can see only EPORTAL7.
    Also in SMD I have the option of adding ECC QAS and ECC PROD which I do not get in SMP.
    I just want to know where do I configure Maintenance Optimizer in SMD or SMP.
Also do I need to add ECC QAS and ECC PROD in SMD.
And do I need to check any connectivity between ECC and Solution Manager.
Or at last is there any configuration issue if you feel.
Thanks
Parvez Khan.

Hi Parvez,
You get the latest version of Solution Manger Config guide and start checking your config step by step. I feel Landscape components are not added properly in SMD also check the respective RFCs ( Which is mentioned in Config Guide)
Hope this is useful

Umesh
