Generating SAP Solution Key

Hi
I'm new to SAP ERP 2005 and I'm building a test system.
Can someone please tell me how do I generate my SAP Solution Key? Step by step. Is there a docment for this? I can't find one. I've looked at note 811923, but it does not explain in detail and what they use does not correspond to what I see.
I have installed my SAP Solution Manager. After install I have a icon on my desktop. I'm assuming this is the solution manager cause it does not have that name.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
It seems you are really new so welcome to SAP world.
MMC is the icon where you can view and perform some administration activities with respect to your instance.
As far as the solution manager key is concerned do one thing go to start->run and type sapgui <ip addresss where you have SOLMAN installed> <instance number of the installation>.
e.g. sapgui 10.50.70.30 00
if the folder structure of SOLMAN installation is DVEBMGS00.
This you need to do from the desktop and also sapgui should be installed over here.
Then login using ddic and give your password. Once there type in /nsmsy and enter. On the field systems right click and create a new system. provide the sid for which you need the key and then the remaining details along with the installation number which the basis group at your location must be aware. if not you can even leave that.
that's all. Now go to menu and click on system landscape other object and then give SID and click on icon generate which has a key symbol over there.
new window appears and over here give the remaining details as to hostname, central instance number and it will give you a number which is the required SOLMAN key you require.
that's all any issues revert back feel free to ask. It's good to see new people using SDN. Good move
Do reward points as appreciation. Hope you know the rules as you can see on the left side of this answer. choose the radio button which ever you feel is suitable.
Be curious and keep posting.

Tool to generate SAP Developer key (exists)

Dear Experts,
I have incident here from our consultant who got a proper SAP Developer key. After few questions, we found out he got it via a tool which can generate a proper SAP developer key. I have checked in Marketplace SCCR, there was no record for his user ID's.
Anyone ever encountered this incident? I still don't believed people can generate exact SAP Developer key (I registered his ID's from SAP Marketplace and more surprising got the same number). I just curious how this possible.
Thanks a lot,
Best Regards,
Achmad

Hi Glen,
I am agree with you and raised complain to the consultant. I know there are some way to hack requirement for developer key but my current issue is he got the proper (exact) SAP developer key without generated via Marketplace. How that is possible?
My opinion, only person who got in touch with SAP kernel developer (or hacker of SAP kernel) you know exactly how to generate SAP developer key.
I just curious because this is the first time I got this incident from my 15 years SAP life. hacking ABAP program to avoid developer key are one thing, but generating proper and exact SAP developer key without marketplace is totally differently level of hacker.

Achmad

SAP License key

Dear All,
We have an issue with system number in our production system.
We have generated SAP license key for production during our SAP implimentations. But after that due to some major problem we have again reinstall SAP system and regenerate SAP License key. Now both the SAP License key has different system number. Old one license key we have deleted from SAP Supprt portal.
How can change the system number in my landscap as per the registered with SAP Support portal.
Can I delete existing license from my SAP System and reinstall latest downloded key ?
Thanks in advance,
Nirav

Well you should have ordered the new license under the same system.
Can I delete existing license from my SAP System and reinstall latest downloded key ?
Yes, that is what you have to do now. If your installation number changed, then you will have to delete the old licenses first. Then you will be able to install the new license.
Cheers Michael

Using Solution Manager 7.0 to Generate Solution Key for SAP Netweaver 7.3 ?

Hi, SDN Gurus.
We are running Solution Manager 7.0.
I am trying to generate solution key for SAP Netweaver 7.3 system. When I was creating a new system (in TCode SMSY); I only see Newtweaver 7.1 is the latest version available in the SAP Netweaver product version drop down list.
Is that true that I always need to upgrade the latest/compatible version (SP & patches) of SAP Solution Manager to generate solution key for the latest released of SAP products?
If this is the case, what version of SAP Solution Manager I need to create new system and generate solution key for SAP Netweaver 7.3?
Thanks for advices,
KC

Hi,
Please follow the note [Note 1274430 - Installation of Solution Manager 7.0 Stack 18 and higher|https://websmp230.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/sapnotes/index2.htm?numm=1274430]

Which parameters are required for generating a solution manager key?

Hello All,
I generated a key in Solution Manager, to install a SAP NW 2004s SR1.
But I receive an error during the installation from the SAPINST:
"SAP Solution manager key for the instance number... is invalid ".
I already changed the parameters for generating the key, changed the instance number, hostname, but I still receive the same error.
Could someone tell me which parameters exactly are required for generating a solution manager key?
thanks
Thomas

Dear Sri,
this is exactly what I have entered, I still get the same error message.
My entries in SAPINST:
SAPinst founds one system instance on the host with
the Instance number 00,
the Instance name SCS00.
And ask for the Central Instance parameters:
there I enter 01 for the central Instance number,
the hostname
and the solution manager key generated for the instance number 01!
best regards
Thomas

Hi Ben,
Creating a key is not a problem but it will be good if you install a Solution Manager 4.0 BOX at your place, bcoz for N/W 04 and above you will need a solution specific key for each solution.

SAP Solution for Mini steel plant with DRI Process

Dear all,
I am a metallurgist who spent couple of years in steel and process Industry and then moved to IT Consulting as SAP consultant / business analyst mainly working in the area of solution designing.
Here i will like to describe SAP solution for Mini steel plant with DRI proces.
u201CManufacture Productsu201D Description
The series of operations performed upon material to convert it from the raw material or a semifinished state to a state of further completion. This includes the establishment and maintenance of a CAPEX plan, the planning, scheduling and execution of production activities, the dispositioning of produced goods, the maintenance of production data, the monitoring of production performance and the implementation of engineering changes.
u201CManufacture Productsu201D Objectives
M-010
Compile 3-year CAPEX Budget     Establish the overall manufacturing goals and metrics that the organization will use to measure performance and progress towards objectives. These goals should be consistent with overall organizational strategy/value propositions. Develop long-term goals for production capabilities and manufacturing. These goals should align with the overall goals and objectives of the organization.
M-050
Perform Long Range Production Planning     u201CBudgetingu201D. Long range planning of production quantities based on planned available capacities and known or estimated customer demands. This process may include planning for different capacity and/or demand scenarios. Approved capital expenditures from the 3-year CAPEX budget may influence the budget. Range and frequency for budgeting is yearly.
M-060
Perform Medium Range Production Planning     Medium range planning of production quantities based on planned available capacities and known or estimated customer demands. This process may include planning for different capacity and/or demand scenarios. Range and frequency for planning is quarterly.
M-070
Perform Short Range Production Planning     Short term planning of production quantities based on capacities and demands as previously planned in the longer terms, actual customer demand and actual capacities. The result from short range production planning will run into the operational plan for the current and following days. Range and frequency for planning is monthly.
M-080
Schedule Production     This sub-process enables detailed scheduling by resources over the planning horizon. Planned orders that fulfill demands (Stock Transfer Requisitions, Sales Forecasts and Customer Orders defined by due-dates and due-quantities) come from the short range plan. This results in a feasible schedule, optimizing utilization of the production resources. It is based on production process constraints as well as labor resources in order to minimize production costs and also taking into account constraining raw materials availability.
M-090
Execute MRP     The purpose of this sub-process is to generate a Materials Requirements Plan (MRP) for all materials, which are produced or purchased. The MRP process involves looking at current material inventory, planned inbound material deliveries, requirements, lead times and stock levels to generate a detailed plan for future material requirements. The materials requirements will be generated with respect to the three planning horizons, short-term, medium-term, and long term. If an over stock of raw materials occurs as a result of a planning change production and marketing personnel will be informed. This would allow for the cancellations of any unneeded shipments.
M-100
Perform Setup / Changeover     Perform set-up and changeover activities on production equipment as necessary, to prepare for the production of specific materials/grades. Set-up and changeover activities will enable the production equipment to perform operations on materials, as per the specifications called out on the production order. Ensure time is allocated for first off inspection requirements after changeover.
M-110
Execute Production     Insure that the production plan is met by converting raw materials and component supplies into finished and semi-finished products. Batch/lot documentation will be created for individual production orders to provide traceability throughout the process. Each step of the production process is continuously monitored to identify mechanical, quality, and productivity issues and suggest solutions when problems arise. Data collection for performance and financial reporting enables management to take immediate action on manufacturing processes as well as conduct historical analysis.
M-120
Perform Quality Management     Quality management refers to the entire supply chain process. Process activities are related to the evaluation and inspection of key characteristics of semi-finished and finished materials. These evaluations are recorded and acted on based on the results. Report/manage internal quality problems or issues. Install and manage quality control systems to insure product quality. For supplier or subcontractor based issues this data should be used as a performance measure during the vendor evaluation process.
M-130
Manage Product Disposition     This process ensures those semi-finished and finished products that do not meet quality requirements, are prevented from being used and distributed in good finished product to customer, or released for the next step of the production process. A semi finished product is any material that needs to have another operation on line before being shipped to the customer. Finished goods are defined as any material that can be shipped to a customer; in house produced finished goods, subcontracted materials and trading goods. The information required to make decisions regarding disposition comes from the Quality Management system of each production facility. The first step ensures that raw material and returnable goods are dealt with in another subprocess. The reason for the goods not meeting quality standards is recorded along with the results of any investigation to find the cause of the fault. Information is sent to all other parties who need to know: order fulfillment, inventory management and shipping. The process ensures that the most appropriate action is taken to either dispose of, or rework the goods. Disposal or rework may be either through the original materials supplier or subcontractor, or Mittal Steel Point Lisas.
M-140
Maintain Product Related Data     u201CMaterial Master Maintenanceu201D. The Sub-Process 'Maintain Product Related Data' is the list of activities that identify the steps and decision points related to the request for and performance of additions, changes, and deletions to the Material Master file or files. This sub-process begins when a need to create, change or delete a material is identified and ends when the request is either actioned or refused. The sub-process is intended to cover all material types, including finished goods, raw materials, bills of materials, equipment and service, POS, Sundry Items etc. In fact, any product which the company wishes to inventory or purchase. A number of key strategic decisions, including a clear definition of when we issue a new material, will affect this sub-process.
M-150
Maintain Production Related Data     u201CMaster Data Maintenanceu201D. This subprocess identifies the activities related to requesting changes or additions to production related master data. Once a need for master data maintenance is identified, a request is submitted for approval. Data defining production capacities and performance standards (e.g. line efficiencies, material yields, etc.) require Corporate level approval prior to maintenance. Other data that is more specific to internal planning functions are maintained at the plant level. Maintenance requests are returned to the originator whether the request is approved or not to improve communication throughout the system. This subprocess may be triggered by: annual operations budgeting process process/production equipment upgrade or replacement change in facility work schedule (i.e. planned hours or days) change in personnel required to operate process/production equipment new products, formulations, or packaging.
M-160
Operations Execution Reporting     Gather manufacturing information at various points in the production process. Prepare management reports both at the detailed level for plant management and summary level for senior operations management. Reports will be available on-demand and will include - volume, efficiencies (mechanical, line, and labor), yields, downtime, asset utilization, environmental, safety, quality, and financial data. A major goal of this sub-process is to define a consistent method of calculating operations metrics. Some plants will use line information systems and PCSs to collect information. Not all plants are equipped with these systems and the where they do exist, the level of sophistication varies.
M-170
Manage Process Reliability     Optimize capacity by reducing process downtime and ensuring compliance to quality expectations by the reduction of rejects. Install tracking systems to measure line time utilization, quality results, process settings. Conduct root cause analysis, and use the data to develop and implement improved operating procedures.

Thank you for your prompt response. I'm assuming you are still proposing to use Sales order -> purchase order -> invoice verification -> Customer billing process flow. Is that correct?

Is SAP Solution manager mandatory for SRM7 implementation?

Dear experts,
I get to know that use of SAP solution manager is mandatory for SRM 7 implementation. is it true?
what is the best practice to manage a SAP SRM implementation project? should we manage the project in SAP SM or outside of it?
Thanks and regards,
Ranjan
Ranjan Sutradhar

Hi Ranjan,
Solution Manager is not mandatory for SRM 7 implementation.
Only thing is Solution Manager contains best pratices for Project implementation e.g AS is process , to be process, blue print etc.
It is just a guilde. All things might not be required for your project.
We did it without solution Manager except that we used it for generating installation key & for maintainance opt.
Best Wishes,
Tushar.

Paul, a license key is not the same as the requested SolMan Key.
A License Key is provided by SAP (and will be installed via transaction SLICENSE in case of ABAP Web AS Systems).
A Solution Manager Key is generated through SAP Solution Manager, transaction SMSY. (SAP Note 811923 - Generating the SAP Solution Manager key)
Anyhow, requesting a Solution Manager Key is not appreciated in this forum.

MSCS Installation; Having problem generating temp. license key

Environment:
SAP ECC 6.0 (MSCS) installation.
Windows 2003 Server Enterprise Edition (64 bit Itanium)
SQL 2005
We are having a problem with the Central Instance Installation Step at
the point where you must generate a license key using Solution Manager.
The installation does not accept any key generated by Solution Manager
using the virtual host name (SAPCIGRP) - the virtual host name for the
SAP Cluster Group.
We greatly appreciate help on this issue so we can finish up
installation.
Steps for the Reconstruction 
MSCS Installation ERP 2005 ABAP+Java (ECC 6.0)
Central Instance Installation Step (Step 8 Installation Guide):
The Installation asks for Solution Manager License Key.
In Solution Manager we created the PRD System (SMSY), then select the
system and select the button "Generate Installation/Upgrade key".
We enter the following:
System ID: PRD
System Number: 02 (also tried 00,01 with no luck)
Message Server: SAPCIGRP
[host names for PRD:
Node A: sapprdci
Node B: sapprddb
SAP Cluster Group: sapcigrp (virtual host name)
SQL Cluster Group: sapdbgrp (virtual host name)]
The installation also asks for instance number (port) for the central
instance; we are entering "02". ASCS (Central Services for ABAP)
is "00" & SCS (Cental Services Instance) is "01".
Thanks,
Patrick

Hi,
You probably want to look two things here:
1. Maybe some problem with the system number, I had the same problem before. I thought I should use system number 00, but it was ended up take system number 01. I still don't know why. The installation completed with my system number be 01 instead of 00 I wanted to be.
2. Because of MSCS installation, does it want to real hostname of the node you are installing or it requires virtual name. I am wondering it is asking hostname of the current node because you should convert it to MSCS cluster after installation complete. Now it does not even know MSCS and virtual hostname etc exist yet.
Thanks,
Yujun Ran

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
Heinrich
