How to Configure Solution Manager for 1.Download SuppPacks 2. Monitoring 3

We recently upgraded to ECC 6.0 and installed Solution Man., very vanilla. Basically just to get the Key to do the upgrade with.
I would really appreciate it if someone could share any documentation that would provide guidance on how to now further configure SolMan for the following
1. Monitor our Landscape which comprises of ABAP ECC (java is installed though not actively using), and SAP BI 7.0
Sandbox, Dev, QAS and Prdn for BOTH ECC & BI
2. Download Support Patches from SAP Marketplace (currently we have had to donwload the long way with download manager creating a message to get them apporoved whew... this is work..)
3. Add messages to SAP Market Place (thru SolMan)
4 Possibly monitor security and manage userids etc (if possible)
And if there is functionality that will make the BASIS experience better I would definitely appreciate it. We don't need the help desk as we already have it ,but, we may take advantage of Project documentation
I would really really appreciate it if someone could advise
Kind Regards & Thank You
Maria

Hi Maria,
With solution manager you can definitely do a world of things, below is a list inclusive of the features you wanted:
1. Dowload SP-Stacks, etc - you will have to configure Maintenance Optimizer for this (MOPZ).
2. Monitoring - you can monitor your ABAP and JAVA stacks using the monitoring features of CCMS which is embedded in Solution Manager, please have a look at the monitoring setup guide (for NW04S) in the Service Marketplace. Basically, it uses agents such as SAPCCMSR for JAVA Stacks and SAPCCM4X for ABAP stacks.
3. You can also configure availability monitoring using th same guide as above - this uses the CCMSPING tool.
4. You can monitor your business processes using the BPM/BPMon features of solution manager - you will also get this guide in http://service.sap.com/solutionmanager.
5. You can scheule your earlywatch alerts (EWAs) in solution manager system - have a look at the following link for this:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/e0f35bf3-14a3-2910-abb8-89a7a294cedb
6. You can also have DBACOCKPIT on your Solution Manager system and have it tomonitor backups, etc on your satellite systems. For thsi have a look at SAP notes 1028624, 1025707 and 1027146 (and the DBACOKPIT guide in SAP Note 1028624).
Hope this is helpful. Kindly award points if useful.
Thanks, Dibya

Hi,
It's a good idea, but currently it's not yet supported.
In Work Center, there is no predefined (nor a hidden) link shipped by SAP to access the Solution Database for key users.
With a future EhP for Solution Manager, you might get an integration of the Solution Database into the message processing Web UI.

Configure Solution Manager for MS Word 2002

Hi experts,
I am currently facing a problem when I want to create a business blueprint from the SOLAR01.
The MS Word document for the blueprint is created fine, but when I try to execute the macro it stops with error "library not found".
The reason is that "Microsoft Excel 12.0 Object Library" is not present on my PC. That is because I am using MS Office 2002 (where only version 10.0 of this library exist).
As far as I know the 12.0 Object library is part of MS Office 2007. I therefore presume that the Solution Manager is configured to create word documents for office 2007. So is there any possibility to configure it for office 2002?
Thanks a lot for all answers.
Best regards,
Torben

Hi,
what is your solman system version?
please refer this [Note 1442338 - Business Blueprint Document: collection of fixes|https://websmp230.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/sapnotes/index2.htm?numm=1442338]

Solution Manager for EWA

I already configured my EWA (SDCCN), but then I realize that EWA need Solution Manager to run.
I need to know how to install Solution Manager for my EWA? Do I need to install in separate server? Or there are others option for me to consider?
Pls help me to figure this out

Hello Hazha!
I don't know how you can configure in SDCCN an EWA session without the Solution Manager, but if you did so, you can send your EWA data to sap, where they will be processed and where you can find them in your inbox.
You need a well functioning SAPOSS RFC destination (TA OSS1).
SDCCN -> Goto -> Settings -> Task Specific
You will get a window with a tree list. Open RFC-Destinations -> Settings and click on the settings icon.
In Dialog RFC destinations, Tab Destinations you might click on the Info-Icon (botton) and you will get documentation. Click now on the Change Icon.
You will now get a new icon "Create destination to SAP OSS". Please use it, it should generate the destination SDCC_OSS.
Please test the destination.
Now you can insert this RFC-destination into the task attributes of your EWA-Session, system-id should be O01.
Bye
PS.
You might also have a look at the documentation at http://service.sap.com/ewa -> Media Library

How to configure CTS+ for Solution Manager for XI 3.0

Hi ,
We are working on XI 3.0 SP 20 and Doing a file system based transport of .TPZ files. We observed that there is a possibilit of misssing the objects while tranporting. So we are planning to set CTS+ with our Solution Manager.
Question:
1. Can we configure CTS+ through the latest version of Solution Manager for XI 3.0 landscape?
If Yes .. How? If No... Why?
2. Is there any way to make the the transport automated like ABAP tranports.
If there is.... Please send the link or documents..
Thanks
Manoj

Hi Venkat,
Thank you for the Demo. The Demo gives me information about the CTS+ setup. I am looking for the compatability of CTS+ for XI 3.0.
We have Solution Manager 7.1 setup in place.
Please let us know if we can setup CTS+ on solution Manager (7.01 EHP1) and use it to transport XI 3.0 SP20 IR/ID objects across the XI landscape.
Regards,
Manoj

How do the change management for the configuration of the adapters

Hi all.
How do the change management for the configuration of the adapters, when i transport the software version component from an development system to production system.
For example, for to change the url parameters of adapters soap inside the production system. I will need type, the news values in this system?
Thanks
Best Regards.

There is an option to pass all the paramters except those who changes from
system to system.
for example,
if you are reading from a file from the directory: <SYS>\CREMAS_<TS>.XML
when <SYS> is DEV or QAS or PROD, and <TS> is time stamp,
you can create channel template that read file with file pattern CREMAS_*.XML,
this can save you a lot of work, however, parameters that are diffrent in every system, (in this case the directory DEV,QAS,PROD) you must enter manually in every system.

How to make Solution Manager 7.0??

Hi Experts,
I am totally new to Solution Manager.I have installed it & when it I am checking
System->status->component version--->Solution Manager 4.0
ST Stack is - 15.
How to make Solution Manager 7.0?Which Support pack level I need to apply to make it Solution Manager 7.0?
For EWA,MOPZ Configuration what should be the minimum stack level of ST??

Hello N.Das
Solman 7.0 IS Solman 4.0 . I mean only the name has been changed so it goes with version of Netweaver; nothing more than that. So you have Solman 7.0. right now !
concerning the minimum SP Level for functionalities EWA and MOPZ. There is no correct answer. In your current Level you already have both; but ( and that is especially the case for MOPZ) new features have been added since ST15.
Current latest Solman version is EHP1 ST23.
Depending on what functionalities you re interested in MOPZ you will be able to choose the minimum level required.
If i were you I would go for the last one, especially because it contains new bug fixes and valuable enhancement for MOPZ
On this link you can check what is in what version of Solman: https://websmp206.sap-ag.de/~form/sapnet?_SHORTKEY=00200797470000089906&

Solution Manager for Implementation project

Hello,
I want to know how we should use solution manager for an implementation project. I am aware about the ASAP methods and the transactions in solman system for each phase. I have starting trouble like how to and where to start with? My ECC systems are not yet installed. Still we can go ahead with Blueprint creation and definition of roadmaps etc. Currently, it is done on paper. If anybody has done an implementation project through solution manager, could you please give me some hints how to start ? I repeat I am aware of the transactions but dont know what to add there in solar01/02 when the process are not defined/system not installed. Please guide me.
Rajeev

Hi Rajeev,
You're correct; you can start building the Business Blueprint without SMSY having all the systems that are 'to-be'. As long as you enter logical components in the project landscape with the correct product versions, you can replace those with the actual components once they have been installed. The BPR needs those product versions in the blueprint when you load the relevant scenario's. Once loaded, you can start documenting the scenario's, place the processes and process steps not used out of scope or delete them entirely and define custom scenario's, processes and process steps.
When the Blueprint has been completed with relevant design documentation, the Configuration transaction can be used to document how you actually configure the systems and, of course, to configure them from Solution Manager. The system landscape officially has to be definitive at the end of the Blueprint phase, unless you won't be configuring the systems centrally from Solution Manager.
The Solution is actually not necessary for a clean implementation; the Project will eventually lead to the solution. Once the systems are all configured and documented in SSM, you create the Solution and upload the project documentation into it in the Solution Directory.
Let us know how you get on!
Kind regards,
Patrick

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
