How to stop SAP Solution Manager Diagnostics instance?

Dear community.
I've got a question. We are working on solman 4.0 with installed SMD (Solution Manager Diagnostics). For this tool is runnig an separated java instance on our server. The problem is, that we don't need the SMD, becaucse we have no JAVA systems to monitor. Is it possible to stop the SMD instance? If yes, how can I do it?
Many thanks in advance...
Michael

Solution manager itself has a java stack so are you saying you don't monitor solution manager java side of things?
SMD does both ABAP and Java application monitoring with varying levels of details, interactions, reporting etc so disabling SMD, to me, defeats the whole purpose of having Solution Manager 4
SAP wants customers to use this tool as best practice and guidelines suggest
On the other hand what advantage do you have of stopping this instance? It would still be sitting in your landscape taking up resources and should you come to use things like SLD and other java applications which I believe will be sooner than later you will have to setup/configure SMD again.
SAP best practice is to have a single SLD and this will definitely be monitored using SMD

Work centers in SAP Solution Manager

Hi!
I have patched my SOLMAN 4.0 to SP 15 and have configured the Work Center functionality.
I have assigned the first Work Center Z_SAP_SMWORK_SETUP, it works.
Now I would like to use the System Monitoring functionality and use this Work Center.
The appropriate role therefor is SAP_SMWORK_SYS_MON.
Unfortunately this role does not contain any profile or objects.
Can some one tell me which objects do I need to add to this role in order to use the Work Center System Monitoring?
Thank you very much!
regards
Thom

Hi Thom,
Most Work Center Roles are delivered without assigned roles.
The Work Centers are using the standard roles of SAP Solution Manager
Please see the updated [Security Guide SAP Solution Manager 4.0|http://service.sap.com/~form/sapnet?_SHORTKEY=01100035870000673252&_SCENARIO=01100035870000000112&_OBJECT=011000358700007187872005E] on page 24 for an overview of relevant roles on Solution Monitoring.

How to Transfer Customizing Data from SAP ECC6 to SAP Solution Manager

Hi all,
I want to Transfer Customizing Data (such as organization structure) from SAP ECC6 to SAP Solution Manager.Please tell me how. Thanks.

Hi,
The system cannot capture the customizing data from your ECC6. This is another myth with SAP Solution Manager. Solution Manager can only smoothen the process of your Project Management.
Hope this solves your problem.

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

EWA for Business Objects (XI 3.1) within SAP Solution Manager

Hello!
We use Business Objects (XI 3.1) and would like to get weekly a EWA report within our SAP Solution Manager.
Our SAP Solution Manger has only ABAP stack and it has the SPS version 25.
We also do not use Wily Introscope/Diagnostics and E2E tools within SAP Solution Manager.
Question
Is it possible to set up EWA for Business Objects with our requirements (SOLMAN with ABAP stack and without E2E/Diagnostics tools)?

Hello,
The short answer is no. You can verify this in SAP Note 1507629 - Preparing a BOE system for Service Sessions in Sol. Manager.
"...1.) Managed System Setup
Perform the Managed System Setup for SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise as
described in the "End-to-End Root Cause Analysis System Landscape Setup
Guide". This guide can be found in the SAP Service Market Place:
-> http://service.sap.com/diagnostics
-> Navigate to the "Media Library"
-> Open the document "SAP Solution Manager Landscape Setup Guide"
Please ensure that you perform all steps mentioned in the guide which
are relevant for your product and version. Please read also SAP note
1357901, which is also referred to in the above mentioned setup guide."
So this is a requirement. There are also pdf documetns attached to this note that describe how to setup the EWA in Solution Manager. EGI_SBOP_EWA_part1.pdf and EGI_SBOP_EWA_part2.pdf.
The fact you have no Java stack and have not installed Diagnostics, just means it has not been done. It can be done and then you can do a managed system setup, and the balance of tasks required to prepare the system and Solution manager to generate EWA reports for the BOE system. Its just more work, not a show stopper.
Regards,
Paul
