Is Solution Manger mandatory for upgrade to NW2004s ?

Is solution Manger mandatory for upgrade to NW2004S ?
Thanks,
BP.

SAP will not provide solman key. However it will provide a solution manager free for ERP software. The first system that should be installed is solman in the landscape. By making solman mandatory SAP wants to regulate the irregularities in the annual fees payment by the customers. It want their customers to habituate to this software, so it provided some of the usefull concepts in solman i.e central administration of all systems in the landscape, preparation of implementation projects using ASAP methodology, maintaining service level agreement reports, provides service desk option(ticketing tool), early watch alerts etc.
So upgrade to NW2004s it is mandatory that you have solman installed.
Please correct me if I am wrong.

Hi Balaji
I will suggest you few checklist :
1. See permissions in the security sub-directory.If its wrong it will be impossible for the Java Runtime to read the
security policy files.
2. temp directory not set.setting in enviroment variable
3. http://hostname:4239/ua/uagui.jnlp .try opening with this URL
4 Could you please check the proxy settings for your Java Webstart? It should be configured in a way that either mentioned host is contained in the list of
hosts which are not connected via proxy or usage of proxies is switched
off completely.
Let me know about the same.

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,

Is Solution Manager mandatory for getting support for SAP 4.7?

Hi,
We received a letter from SAP regarding Solution Manager which stated:
"Commencing on April 2, 2007, SAP Solution Manager will be the only source from which customers receive maintenance updates for SAP NetWeaver 2004s and beyond, as well as applications based upon it (including mySAP Business Suite 2005 applications)."
We are still using SAP 4.7. We do not use Solution Manager. Does this statement mean that for getting any updates / support patches on 4.7, we will need to implement Solution Manager?
Can anybody clarify your understanding or SAP's stand on this?
Regards,
Ashish

Is firmware update (G4 Sawtooth audio fix) mandatory for upgrading to OSX?

Ive heard that you have to use the old Mac OS 9.1 to update the G4's firmware before installing OSX tiger. My problem is that ive bought a G4 without any existing operating systems and only have OSX tiger to put on it. I think the firmware is just an audio fix or something,
has anyone updated without it?

Sorry but no. You have to use Classic to update it. Yeah well PC has no need to update firmware becuase they don't use Open Firmware, I think it's a UNIX thing. Not really sure on it, but if you'd like to know you can go to http://www.openfirmware.org
By the way, if you want Classic I can send you a disk that worked for my G4 AGP, I ordered two by accident. It installed in literally 2 minutes. It's extremely easy to install and it's worth it, booting up with new firmware is quicker. Not by much, but with a 450 mhz processor you'll notice the difference!

Solution manger

Hi,
we are havning devserver and prdserver.then what is the use of solution manager its a seperate server we have to install.can any one clarify my doubt.
Thanku

Hi
Solution Manager can use
--> Monitor your systems centrally . So can set up solution manager to send out alerts to you email or phone if an alert occurs in your satelllite system ( i.e ur dev or prd etc)
I--> To configure Early Watch Alerts ( EWA ) .You can get EWA reports of satellite systems , usually onfigures to get every week , it will record all the issues in your satellie system , so it can be used to turned your systems and also take actions proactively.
--> Serice Desk
--> Change Management
--> Maintanace Optimizer : You need solution manager to download SAP patches for new release. Once you download the patches in service market place , you have to approve it from solution manager then onloy you can download it using download manager.
--> Solution manager Key for upgrade/Install. you need to have a key from solution manager for evey new install or upgrade.
These are the use of solution manager. It is a seprate SAP installation and cannot be configured in your PRD or DEV using SAINT. Its not necessary to have a seprate server , if your existing server has enough resourses you can install it there.
Thanks

Is Solution Manager required for ECC 6.0 upgrade?

We will upgrade our system from 4.7 to ECC 6.0. Is Solution Manager a required tool in ECC 6.0? My understanding is Solution Manager has to be run on a different server, ie. we will have to buy a new server. We have a small SAP implementation with only FI & CO modules, so we are trying to cut our costs if we could. Can anybody share their experience? Thanks for any input.

In an Upgrade , Solution Manager is required for Upgrade Keys and downloading the support packs . Now a days to download the support packs you have to approve it in Solution Manager otherwise it won't show up in your download basket.
May be SAP can provide you the keys & approve the SPs ( they used to do that before ) , in that case it isn't required.
You can also manage your upgrade project in Solman . Sooner or later you need to install solution manager. it's a nice system.Many good features like central monitoring, early watch alert etc etc ...
Thanks

Solution Manager key for ERP upgrade for the same system ID on a different

Hi there,
We have migrated our R/3 DEV system (4.7) running on Windows 2003 to 64 bit and copied existing system using system copy for testing ECC 6.0 upgrades. Both the DEV systems, with the same system id, will be available for a short period. However, the new system, which also has same system id i.e DEV is not created in the Solution Manager landscape, as the system id with the same name already exists. Both the systems are created in SLD.
Can anyone clarify whether i can create the license key from the existing DEV system and use the same key for upgrade of DEV system running on different server? If not I will have to delete the current DEV system and create new DEV system running on 64 bit.
Thanks in advance,
Regards
Chandu

Hi,
You cannot use the old solman key as systems are on different server.
I think you have to delete the old Dev system and then generate new solman key.
Thanks

Mandatory Patches for upgrade

We are in process for upgrading 8.1.7.4 (32 bit) to 10.2.0.4 (64 bit) on AIX . We downloaded so far Base 10.2.0.1 and patchset 10.2.0.4 plus latest CPU patch. Does anybody knows if any Oracle recommended Mandatory Patches out there so we could apply before database upgrade.
Thanks.

I end up opening TAR with Oracle and they send me steps on how to find list of Recommended Patches.
Now to find the recommended patches on 10.2.0.4.0 do the following
1. Log into metalink.
2. Click on the tab patches and updates
3. Click on the link "Oracle Database" under "Recommended Patches"
4. Select the release as "10.2.0.4.0" and platform as "IBM AIX Based Systems (64-bit)"
5. Click on GO. This will list you the recommended patches.

HT204135 Since I upgraded to OS X 10.8 my Canon MP480 printer scanner prints OK but the Solutions Menu icon for scanning is crashing every time I try to scan. Any solutions? Thanx

Since I upgraded to OS X 10.8 my Canon MP480 printer scanner prints OK but the Solutions Menu icon for scanning is crashing every time I try to scan. Any solutions?

I had to contact Canon Tech Support and had to re load the driver softwear using the OS X 10.7 choice, since the 10.8 choice is not there yet. Also had to download the opener and after 45 minutes I had solved the problem. The steps are too many to go into all the details but that is the genral idea. It should work for others.

Solution Manger Key

Hi ;
I am Installing SAP nw 04 Ides Sr1 and Solution manager is mandatory for installation. i am using solution manager for first time.
can any one tell me how to generate solution manager key
from tr code SMSY.(I have defined system but key generation option is not there)
And i am also confused about solution manger license key from market place.wheather it is mandatory to install permanent license key before generating solution manager key for further installation.
Regards
Nilesh

Hi:
Solution Manager Key is a requirement when installing NetWeaver based products; in this case your IDES system.
If you already had added the system into Solution Manager directory, then to generate the key proceed as follows:
from Tx. SMSY select:
--> from the menu "System Landscape" --> "Other Objects..."
...Then a new dialog box will show; choose the "System" option (checked by default) and drill down to select the system ID you need an installation/upgrade key.
...Once you have the system selected; choose from the Icons below the "Generate Installation/Upgrade Key"
...A new window will open; in that box you need to fill the actual system environment, then click "Generate Key" button.
That's all, you can now continue with the installation procedure!!! (copy and paste the installation key during installation in the SAPinst)
The difference between the both key's is the following:
- The Solution Manager key is only required during installation and the Marketplace Key that you need to install with Tx. SLINCESE is the actual license key for your IDES system installation.
Hope this helps !
