How does Solution Manager compare to BMC Patrol?

Has anyone done a comparison of Solution Manager versus Patrol when it comes to monitoring OS system level parameters? We are in the process of deciding which tool to use on a new SAP AIX implementation. We like that Solution Manager comes with the SAP application so no extra costs. But we have used Patrol on other mid-range systems with much success. All thoughts and comments would be appreciated.

Hello Denis,
I am curently on the same situaton as yours few years ago. I gonna implement PATROL, but I just wonder if this valuable to centralise all the monitoring via Sap solution Manager or to customize all PATROL alerts in all SAP backends.
regards
Marc

  • How does Solution Manager manage upgrade?

    Except get the upgrade  key from SM4.0, I do not see any other involvement of SM4.0 in the
    upgrade.
    However in a recent paper by Jon Reed , he says that you can use SM4.0 to manage your
    upgrade.
    Please share your opinions. Thanks!

    Solution Manager's module Implementation Tools can help to you conduct from a "Fuctional" point of view your entire Upgrade project, further more can help you to rollout if necessary the Upgrade.
    For Upgrade Projects the SAP Solution Manager supports both:
    - restarting an upgrade project
    - perform an upgrade project based on an implementation project
    The scope of support for these upgrade-relevant activities with the SAP Solution Manager is the same as for an implementation project, plus some upgrade-specific functions:
    a comparison tool which identifies release-specific changes or deletions, if you used SAP reference contents
    an upgrade report which gets the upgrade-relevant configuration settings which you must adjust in upgrade or delta customizing, automatically, based on a connection to the target release system
    Upgrade-relevant contents are also delivered with the SAP Solution Manager, as an upgrade roadmap and upgrade-specific business scenario and process contents. At the end of the upgrade project, changed or inserted business scenarios and processes and system information are put in a customer-specific repository (Solution Directory), where they are available for production processing.

  • Does Solution Manager support Service Report for non-abap?

    Does Solution Manager support Service Report for non-abap?
    We can schedule and view reports for ABAP but for all the non-ABAP such as J2EE stack (PORTAL) we can not pull out a report.
    If the answer is yes please let me know where I can get the documentation of how to setup SLA for PORTAL or non-ABAP.
    I found a document on EWA non-abap but non for SLA.

    Hi
    actually i am in task of setting up ewa for portal.
    i had already done with abap components (ewa and sla)
    i stronly believe one of the pre-requiste to get sla is EWA.
    so i think if u can setup ewa for portal then you can get sla too.

  • How does one manage these new render setting for previews?

    I placed 4 HD clips from a nested into a sequence 5800 x 768 to mimic 4 side by side monitors for a multi channel video.  Each clip cut from the sequence are at 1280x720 all sitting side by side. However when I rendered the previews, they came look all squished. However when I exported the frame it looks fine in Photoshop. (I changed the uploaded image to what it looks like in Premiere in Photoshop to demonstrate the appearance in Premiere.)
    I imagine that the distortion has to do with the sequence render setting which for some reason comes out to 1918 x 253...or the pixel aspect ratio? How does one manage these new render setting for previews so it looks normal in the monitor? 
      

    Either way, I thought that this format would be a great way to view on the monitor 4 channels at the same time. I may need to place them on a “normal” 1440 x 1080 sequence in a line, bringing them down to 25% scale to make it work in the end. I did just try that. I think it will work...but when I imported and nested the old file, the scratch disks changed from the original set up on a D drive back to the main hard drive so I had to change it agin. Otherwise it works fine...so I’ll go with this for now
    These are the instructions I was given.I attched a screen save of the AE file they asked me to use (They must be on vacation, because I have not been able to get hold of them). I don't know After Effects very well:
    “As you begin creating or adapting work for e4c, you may find an After Effects template developed for this system to be helpful. Attached you'll see a zipped file with two AE templates. There is some detailed information (below) from the artist that developed these for us. In addition, a few bits of information that might help you along are:
    ·        The "Watchout"  playback system can support WMV or a QuickTime files . We like .mov files with H.264 codec best!
    ·        The end resolution of the four screens is 5120 x 720 pixels (1280x720 each).
    ·        If works are four-channel, please provide a separate audio (aiff) file so it doesn't slow any one video down.”
    Thanks for your help!

  • How does Media Manager handle Motion Projects within the Sequence being cop

    How does Media Manager handle Motion Projects within the Sequence being copied?
    I've highlighted my sequence, opened Media Manager, and copied it to another drive. When I open up the sequence in it's new project, the rendered Motion Project plays within my sequence but it won't let me go back into this Motion Project to make changes. I tried starting over. This time I highlighted the actual motion sequence and clip that is created within FCP after sending something to Motion and copied those to the new drive. When I went into the newly created 'media' folder and double clicked on the motion project it launched. It looked liked it was going to play but while my crops moves and borders were there, the filmed material is shown as a freeze frame for the duration of the motion project.
    I did this with and without 'including master clips within selection'. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Is there anyone who knows the answer to this? Thanks.

  • How is solution manager useful for performance monitoring

    Hi,
    I want to check expensive sql statements in production and quality systems.How can solution manager be useful for this.
    It would be great if anyone can provide me some documentation on this

    Hi,
    In Solution Manager, there is an Early Watch Analysis report which is generated and which has section in the report ' Performance Indicator' in that section you will get 2 things :
    1. Top 10 Transaction codes which has huge response times.
    2. Top 10 program which has huge response times.
    and after that you also get the list of expensive SQL statement in the report and then you can just optimize the queries and improve system performance.

    When setting up sync how does sync manage information from two computers? Does it merge the information?

    Hi!
    Yes, the way Sync works is that it puts all the Bookmarks together and pushes them to all your devices. Same with History.
    You will not loose any information in any of your computers.

  • How the solution manager is realated to SAP BW

    Hi experts!
    Well!! I have been given a task to work on solution manager 4.0 and make it useful for SAP BI.
    so I have a few questions.
    1) Does basis person look after the config and authorizations?
    2) I have been told to include the system change request ( SCR), Help desk issues into the  solution manager... so how can I get that.
    3) where my role starts exactly, I mean after connecting SAP BI to Solution manager,I guess this is done by BASIS person.
    Points will be rewarded to the helpful replies... thanks in advance.

    Hi Abass,
    To answer few of ur questions,
    2) you need to configure the Solution manager tool with the BI system when a ticket is raised or a change is triggered. These things will be monitored by a help desk or service desk person or a BI expersie person.
    I guess your role is to implement this in ur org that means you need to create from basics such as creating business partners etc

    Hi,
    If you love working with Muse, BC would enhance it  as it completes Muse. WYSIWYG Design area in BC would give you the ultimate convenience designing the pages or templates.
    I would suggest that you create a Trial site in BC via Muse and go through the modules available. Modules are not synced with Muse but they will be rendered if you specify them with a correct reference ID's (as detailed here kb.worldsecuresystems.com/134/bc_1345.html) in Muse and then Publish.
    Business Catalyst is far more than a hosting provider. Business Catalyst is an online business platform, with email marketing, customer response management, eCommerce, forums, analytics, and more. Over time, Adobe Muse will grow to expose more of the power with Business Catalyst.
    Adobe Muse allows you to publish your temporary website to Adobe Business Catalyst at no charge for a 30-day trial period. This gives you the opportunity to send a live URL to your client for review. All sites in trial mode on Business Catalyst will include the Business Catalyst domain, example http://website.businesscatalyst.com. If you decide to take the site "live" by paying for the monthly hosting, you can transfer your own domain and remove the .businesscatalyst.com subdomain. Or you can export the HTML and host the final site with a hosting provider of your choice.
    You can have different users being an Admin on one site depending upon the permissions you set for them. + much more..
    Publishing sites to BC via Muse is seamless. So I recommend to test the trial publish. That way you can judge it best upto your expertise. Also check http://tv.adobe.com/watch/introducing-business-catalyst/getting-started-with-business-cata lyst-and-muse-creating-and-publishing-sites/ for more help.
    Hope that helps!

  • How does Vision Film compare to SkyMovies (premier...

    It looks like Vision Box Office ppv films are much the same as Sky Box Office (now "Store"), but how does the free Vision Film channel compare to Sky Movies Premier?  From looking at the listings it would seem that VF is some way behind Sky Premier, which means a massive gap between when films are on Box Office until they're on VF.
    My reason for asking is that I generally only watch the new releases, and currently on Sky I'm happy to watch on Premier rather than paying for Sky Store as they're not too far behind (and still massively ahead of what Lovefilm can offer).  From a brief view of the Vision Film listings, I can see that I'd end up buying films from Vision Box Office instead of waiting.
    An alternative would have been the NOW TV subscription, but its ludicrously in SD not HD, and they've stated no plans to move to HD on YouView (only Xbox).  So no way I'd pay £15pcm for SD films.

    The movies on VF are not as new as the releases on Sky or NowTV. But even if you had NowTV the films listed on their website may not actually be on Youview for licencing reasons and may only appear on other formats.
    If you want the latest movies without having to pay after they have been on box office then you may as well use Sky - if you are willing to wait for them to be released on VF then go with BT.
    Also if you have the unlimited package for Vision, then you get a choice of approx 250 movies, loads of tv series and music videos included. BT stream some movies in HD, which NowTV don't and nor do Sky (you have to download films first with Sky).
    Also remember to get the premiers, etc on Sky, you pay a premium for it, compared to the monthly cost of BT Youview or BT Vision

  • How install solution manager using MCOD

    Hello Eveybody,
      I   have install the IDES ECC 6.0 on single machine. Now I want to install the Solution manger using MCOD. but I dont Know How to ? Will anybody guide me how to install solution manager using MCODE,
    I have HDD of  320 GB
    Waiting for earlist reply
    Thanks
    Ganesh

    Hello Ganesh,
    For installing on MCOD, the database instance should be on the same database host. For installation when you run sapinst, you should mention the database id (DBSID) for the solution manager as the ECC6 database DBSID. It will then automatically pick the installation as MCOD.
    In other words, the SAP SID during the installation should be the new system ID for solution manager but the Database SID should be mentioned as the existing DBSID.
    For more info, refer the following:

  • How does the x300 compare to ultraportables today?

    I am thinking about getting a refurbished x300 to replace my T60. How does it compare to today's ultra-portables with regard to performance? My T60 certainly have trouble watching 1080p youtube videos, I guess I can expect the same from the x300? 

    performance of the X300 and X301 is way behind the current ultrabook.
    X301's Intel 4500MHD GPU was designed for 1080p videos, while the X300's intel X3100 is not designed for these.
    As such the X300 will lag with these 1080p videos.
