How to monitor BI & PI using Solution Manager 4.0

Hi, we have installed Netweaver 04S SR2 SP11 BI & PI components. We want to use Solution Manager 4.0 to setup monitoring for these 2 systems. Any guide or documentation will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Arshish

Hi Arshish,
To setup monitoring you will first have to include these systems in the system landscape of SAP solution Manager 4.0 in transaction SMSY.
The steps in the order are :
1. Create Server ( Server name ,IP and Fully qulaified Host name)
2.Create Database (Give the database you are using)
3.Then you have to create the system itself. and give the information as required.You will be able to do it when you will go through it.
Then you have to generate the RFC's from solution manager to satellite systems and back.These RFC's have to be trusted.Assign role SAP_S_RFCACL or profile S_RFCACL to the users in SOLMAN as well as satellite system.
Follow these steps and create a Logical component for the system that you have added.
Follow these steps first.More information can be found out on
service.sap.com\solutionmanager
or you can look for the RKT'S on service marketplace.If you need any furthur assistance do reply back.
please award points if found helpful
Best Regards
Amit

How to create a "blueprint" using solution manager?!!

I have been asked to create a 'blueprint" using solution manager!! I have absolutely no clue how this can be achieved using solution manager!! Please guide me on what is to be done.Would appreciate if you donot give me links of help.sap as the same is not making sense to me.
I have to create a blueprint for 20 countries of SAP reports available for FICO. Some of these reports are country specific while others are generic.

Hi Suchita,
You can create blueprint document using SOLAR01 transcation, provided you must have included all the organizational data, business process, master data,,
Follow the path
transaction SOLAR01->Business Blueprint-> Generate Blueprint
You must have created a solution and a project assigned to that solution also.
further clarifications feel to post the query

          Thanks&Regards

Hello
Solman will not implement the files you can download the files using Solman. You need to move the downloaded files to application server and implement them for that you need to configure MoPZ
You can go to server market place service.sap.com/RKT in that select Solution manager.
You will have to select the product as solution manager 7.0 and in technology consultants and system administrator you will find the configuration documentations in for for SIM files.
You can use that and learn how to configure the optimizer on the system.
Then you can download the files and implement the same.

Project Management using Solution Manager

Hi,
We are trying to use solution Manager for managing our IT projects - specifically for SAP projects.
We browsed through the existing functionalities that are available and are not able to get info on the following:
___Project Admin tab for Roadmaps :_ __ In the transaction RMMAIN, we are able to define the scope of the activities at each phase and assign team members and track the status of the activity / task.
However we do not have the tab for tracking the planned start date / end date and the actual start / end dates. Similar is the case for efforts.
So not sure how to track these?
Integration of Roadmaps and Blueprints : Once we have defined the project and assigned the Roadmap, we have all the activities that need to be tracked. In addition in transaction SOLAR01 / SOLAR02, we can define the scope and configurations which in itself are a kind of sub projects to be embedded withing the Blueprint and realization phases respectively of the main Projetc Plan.
How to link these Blueprint specific plan and the realization related plan to the main project plan created out of the Roadmap chosen and to track them as one single project?
Synchronization wih ms project : I see only the option to download the plan as an mpp file. But is there any option to upload mpp as well so that the project can be tracked using mpp and synchronized with Solution manager at frequent intervals?
Your answers would definitely be helping us a lot and would be greatly appreciated.
thanks in advance.
regards,
suresh velan

Hi Suresh,
Solution Manager is a Project Management tool. But it is not for Project Planning. If you want to do Project Planning also from the SolMan system, then you have to enable cProjects component of SolMan.
Synchronization between your MS Project and cProjects is possible. But synchronization between SolMan's RoadMap/Blueprint and MS Project is not possible.
In RoadMap, you can capture and track the status of all phase-wise activities as to what is their status. Here capturing date details is not possible.
In Blueprint/Configuration you can capture and keep track of the individual object's blueprinting and configuration activities. Here you can capture the planned/actual start/end dates for each object.
As I said earlier, Solution Manager provides lot of Project Management features, but Project Planning is not possible. For that we have to start using cProjects component in SolMan.
Hope it helps.

How to add a system into Solution Manager directory.

Hi!
Can anybody tell me how to add a system into Solution Manager directory before generating license key for ECC installation .
Also,
How to connect the XI in same box with SolMan and ECC in defferent server to SolMan 3.2 .
I am going to install SolMan and than XI in and box and after that ECC in a seperate box.
AM I right?
regards,
Pratip Bhattacharyya

Hi Bratip Bhattacharyya,
SolMan 3.2 needs SLD only for automatic data gathering of the sap landscape; you can choose between SLD and LIS in transaction SMSY_SETUP (which simply uses the TMS-domain controllers for information gathering).
XI needs SLD, but XI needs also a netweaver04 (s) system (Abap WAS 6.40). SolMan 3.2 isn't a netweaver04 system (Abap WAS 6.20). So you have to install XI as an own central instance (Abap + Java) on the same windows server, if you like. In this case you have to install for XI an own SLD. Different SLDs can create bridges between themselves. Please look at the SLD configuration guide (quicklink /netweaver -> installation guides).
But don't ask me how to install two sap systems on one server on windows (on Linux it's easy I have done so); basically it will have an own SID and own "service" numbers (which means own tcp port numbers).
If you can't dedicate to XI an own server, it's only a question of hardware sizing. For the different combinations of netweaver components you should study the master guide for netweawer.
Bye

Is it a must to use Solution manager for ECC 6.0 upgrade

Is it a must to use Solution Manager for ECC 6.0 (FICO & HR) upgrade? I am told Solution Manager is required only if it has ABAP and JAVA stacks, or involves Enhancement Packages; and could be optional if it is only ECC 6.0 with ABAP stacks.

Hi,
I'm having a difficult time finding some guidance for setting up our R/3 Enterprise system in solman properly, so that I can create the upgrade XML file required to go directly to ERP 6.0 EHP4.
I've set up the R/3 system fine, but when i create a maintenance transaction i cannot for the life of me figure out how to tell it I want to go from r/3 to ERP6 ehp4.
Any docs out there for this?
Thanks!
I figured it out... i had to add the R/3 Enterprise logical components to my system landscape. After that I was able to select R/3 as the initial data in the maintenance transaction and then the system i wanted to upgrade, and then the option to upgrade.
Never mind!

Why use Solution Manager?

Hi,
I wonder if you can help. We have been advised to install Solution Manager in order to manage the upgrade from 4.6c to ECC 5.0, but have also heard conflicting advice that states that this is not necessary and is an overhead.
Can anyone advise if SolMan is worth installing and what the benefits are of running the upgrade through this vs using normal methods.
Many thanks.
Sean

Hi,
Wel solution manager is an awesome project tracking tool.
Say for e.g it will generate reports for the overall testing using which you will be able to know who is testing what is testing and how much testing is compeleted.
It stores all the log for automatic test cases whether ECATT or External (mercury QTP).
I have written several blogs on testing and ecatt and qtp integration can view the same on sdn.
In addition to above if you use solution manager you can get accelerate roadmap documents and also provide you reports which can show you the current progress of your project with time and dates.
Provide e-learning and also can use solution manager as document management system.
If you are not going to use the same,You are missing all above.Decision is your's.
Please reward points if it helps.

Search & Install SAP Notes using Solution Manager

Does anyone have specific documentation on how to search and install SAP notes using Solution Manager. I have read numerous times about this capability but have not found any success finding specific info on how this is done.
Can someone please share their experience? Can you also provide some documentation?
Thank you

Dear Ramesh,
Like what Rajeev has mentioned, you can use transaction tab in your message/ticket for searching for note or even deploying to satellite system.
for this in solman you need to maintain these 2 enties, so that it takes you to service market place.

How to check the messages in solution manager?

hai experts !
how to check the messages in solution manager?
in which transaction do we see them?

Hi Kiran,
From what I gather from your brief question, you are perhaps looking for CRM_DNO_MONITOR that would display all queries created from Satellite/SolMan system itself, as support messages.
If you are looking for Notifications underlying those messages, please look for DNOTIFWL.
For more specific answers, please provide more description of what you are looking for.
Trust this helps.
