Migrating an Solution Manager 7.1 running in Oracle to HANA

Hi SAP experts,
     We were planning to migrate our Solution Manager 7.1 database running in Oracle to HANA.
     We will do a classical migration in which we will be splitting the Java and ABAP stacks and do a database export then migrate to HANA based on this article Classical Migration to SAP HANA)
     Is the approach sufficient for migration or are there any options in which we could migrate an existing Solution Manager 7.1 database to HANA?
Regards,
Manuel

Hi,
suppose nothing specific to solution manager
As per the knowledge source, you can either try typical OS/DB migration. But this can be accelerated by DMO also Migration to HANA made easy with DMO
the best suggested option could be via DMO , it was also specified in sap courses. might be this also can help Migration of SAP Systems to SAP HANA
Thanks

Lotus Notes documents migration into Solution Manager

We have been using Lotus notes application for maintaining only documentation in our landscape. But now, the plan is to move all the documentation from Lotus notes to SAP Solution Manager and use it as a document management system from now....
Could anyone please answer the following queries:
1) Does LSX environment help/enhance the migration ?. If not, are there any tools/accelerators/functions/automatic methods for mas uploading?
2) This documentation is not project specific documentation. Where do you think this must go in Solution Manager?
In the custom area of BPR?. If yes, please do let me know the procedure for the same.
3) Would it be possible to link the documents to functional domains/ business scenarios/ business processes in the BPR?
4) Lotus notes provides access to all the versions (Draft/Approved/Reviewed) of a document. Would it be possible to have the same features even in Solution Manager?
5) What all document types does Solution Manager recognize?.
I think the Lotus notes documents can be converted to 'Word' format and then put in Solution Manager. Besides this, is there any other common format which is recognized by both the tools?
6) Standard SAP Solution manager does not provide indexed search. So, in order to retrieve a document later what indexing nomenclature/guidelines do you recommend?
Has anyone done/faced with this kind of requirement. The idea now is to use Solution manager as a document management system. The efforts/process/timelines information if already known would be of great help to start with for us....
Could you also provide the trade offs b/n Solution Manager and SAP knowledge warehouse (KW)?
Hoping for some replies ...

we also had the same requirement to migration from LN to SolMan Documentation base but there is no such tool (yet?)
What you can do you can migrate from any ARIS like platform to SolMan:
http://en.sap.info/ids-scheer-announces-migration-program-to-aris-platform/4058
You do have versioning in SolMan and you can upload any kind of document via SOLAR01
regarding the indexing you can either use SAP SES or connect TREX, this is documented in the customizing (SPRO)
TREX will also be the prerequisite to make use of KM in SolMan

Need Pre_requisites to install Solution Manager in Solaries 9 and Oracle 10

Hi Administrators,
In my project, we have planned to implement Solution Manager 7.0 in O/S Solaries 9 and Database Oracle 10.2.
We are implementing this Solution Manager in already existing SAP server.
We have server like TSAPNGN, In this server already our QAS ECC 5.0 and QAS BW 3.5 are exist and running in this server.
I need information like, What is the pre_requisites to install SAP application, where already another SAP exist in Server.
Appreciate ur help.
Thanks & Regards,
Jagan.

Hello
There is no difference whether you are installing the Solution Manager on a separate server or an existing server already containing the DEV system. you will get some idea from these Notes
21960 Several instances/systems on one UNIX computer
28392 Two R/3 Systems on one Windows NT Server
322653 DB6: Two or several systems on a host
I think, you should go for Central System installtion for the Solman, with it's own database.
and what do you mean by 'standalone solman' here ?
Just go 'installation and upgrades' -> My application components -> SAP Solution Manager -> Solman 7.0 or EHp1 -> Installation and upgrades
For installation guide
installation and upgrade guiedes -> SAP components -> SAP Solution manager -> Select solman version

Data Migration using solution Manager

Hi All,
Is there any way to use solution manger for data migration.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
in case you want to use it as middleware to connect 2 systems then rather use SAP XI / PI. SolMan is not providing such a functionality!

Migrating Solution Manager Project ?

Hello .. has anyone had success in migrating a Solution Manager project from one server to another ? If so, can you share the details. I am aware it can be done via template, but havent tried as of yet...
weinux

My worry is not migration process.
That´s why you must have a certified migration consultant on-site to do the migration. If you do it on your own and you have problems after the migration you will loose support.
But after migration will solution manager configuration remain intact?
Yes - it will be identical.
Will configuration done in SOLMAN before migration, affect due to migration.Any pros and cons?
No - apart from a different OS and database configuration that must be taken care of during the migration.
Also Can you please suggest rough ( approx ) estimate for migration? Solution manager version 7.0 , Solaris 5.9 , oracle 10g.
It´s impossible to tell that.
It depends on lots of factors (processor number/speed, speed of I/O subsystem, database configuration...). A migration is usually done three times at least to get the optimal number of R3load processes and database configuration during the migration process.

System out of memory when exporting/migrating Solution Manager

Dear all,
since we decided to migrate our Solution Manager (win2003/sql server 2005) system to a more appropriate server, we started an export using the NW70sr2 installation master CD, the one we used to install this solution manager instance.
Everything went ok up to the Java export phase, here we caught an out of memory issue, here's the relevant part of the sapinst.dev.log file:

Actually we used a workaroud to complete the phase, ie we menually re-issued the command and changed the heap value from -Xmx512m to -Xmx1024m
Is there a way to defalut the sapinst to pass to the java export command an higher java heap value, ie -Xmx1024m ?
Thanks in advance and cheers.
Franco.

It sounds like you may have a corrupt render file in your 7th episode. You can set in and out points in 5 minute increments and export those segments to narrow down which clip is the offending clip. Then re-render the offending clip.
I hope this helps.

> I face this problem while installing SOLMAN 7.0 EHP1 for MAXDB on Windows 2003 . DO you have any idea what happens with my installation?*
I HIGHLY recommend not using a 32bit operating system for Solution Manager, you will run into lots of problems and issues concerning memory usage and limitations of the 32bit platform.> 08.06.11 10:21:42 com.sap.inst.jload.Jload logStackTrace

It seems that the maximum memory on 32bit is reached already. Decrase the CACHESIZE of the database, restart the database and press "retry" in sapinst.
This will not be the only problem you will get, use a 64bit server and at least 8 GB memory for Solution Manager.

SOLUTION MANAGER 7.1 install on linux/oracle java error on ABAP IMPORT

Hello sdn experts, Im trying to install the Solution Manager 7.1 on linux/oracle, but It always stops at the abap import,
The error is in the Program "Migration Monitor", that exit with error.
Reviewing the logs, it seems that is trying to execute a java command line with a unrecognized option:
"Execution of the command "/opt/IBMJava2-amd64-142/bin/java -classpath migmon.jar -showversion -Xmx1024m com.sap.inst.migmon.imp.ImportMonitor -sapinst" finished with return code 1. Output:
JVMJ9VM007E Command-line option unrecognized : -Xjvm:j9vm23"
Usage : java [-options] class...
As you can see, the sdk used is from IBM, and it works for all other saps we have here.
Is the wrong jdk? Which I should use if its wrong?
If is the right jdk, how could I get rid of this option and change it?
Any idea would be appreciated.
Thank you

SSO from Solution Manager to Wily Enterprise Manager issue

Hi,
We are facing problem in SSO from Solution Manager to Wily Enterprise Manager. We have done the configuration as per the Wily Enterprise Guide- "Introscope Version 8 Installation Guide For SAP" Page 38.
Our Solution Manager system is running on AIX platform and Wily Enterprise Manager is on Windows 2008.
This is what we are trying
SOLMAN Production Client --> SOLMAN_WORKCENTER --> INTROSCOPE WORKSTATION --> this opens a new browser page and from there we click on Start Introscope -->
Result --> SSO doesn't work, still we get login window.
Introscope Enterprise Manager logs says -->
9/12/11 10:47:17 PM BST [WARN] [Manager] Single sign on failed: No SAP single sign on ticket was found in the request header.
Note: Another Solution Manager system in our landscape (on windows 2008 platform) is connected to same Wily Enterprise Manager (windows 2008) and from this solution manager SSO to Wily Enterprise Manager is working.
Please help me with your expertise to solve this problem.
Best Regards
Davinder

Hello Singh,
Could you check if you have maintained these parameters in instacne profile ?
From SCN post -> http://scn.sap.com/thread/969538
Hi Hector,
To configure SSO as per initial setup guide, please check your profile parameters in your Solution Manager as below:
You have set up SSO, see also:
SAP Note 817529: Checking the SSO Configuration
Installation Guide and Security Guide for SAP Solution Manager
Create the following profile parameters in the instance profile:
login/create_sso2_ticket = 2
login/accept_sso2_ticket = 1
icm/host_name_full = fully qualified server name
This parameter must be attributed to the fully qualified server name (for example wdfd002568.wdf.sap). The name must contain at least two periods. See also SAP Note 434918.
Hope this helps,
Regards,

Solution Manager users consume a SAP Licence

Hello
I've been working with customers with Solution Manager and I got a very extrange question. A company has got a restriction about the numbers of users that can be created in Solution Manager. They were said that only users which have a SAP productive licence (ERP/CRM/SRM, etc.) are allowed to use Solution Manager. So, they deleted all users which do not have a productive user. So all the consultants now cannot use SolMan for the projects.
In my view, this totally wrong, since you want to have all your support team, and consultants working in projects, using Solution Manager as fundamental tool, an for sure, most of them will NOT have user in the productive system.
Do you have any clear statement somewhere in the Enterprise Support contract or somewhere else which clearly state that users in SolMan need to have a productive licence? Is there any note, mail from SAP that say so?
I appreciate your input.

I got an answer from some very knowledgeable person at SAP, responsible for Solution Manager:
Hi Everyone:
The SAP Solution Manager is covered under the customeru2019s support agreement, so normally we have the customers address this with their account team if they have any questions. There is more information in the solution manager homepage FAQ. Note that all use of SAP Solution Manager is u201Ccoveredu201D by the customer agreement, including users. The only exception is use of Service Desk for non-SAP components, in this case the account team can inquire if any additional licenses are required.

Solution Manager & Workflow driven Transport Mangement

Dear SDN Members,
I would like to know if it is possible to use a workflow drivene TMS within the Solution Manager 3.2 using serveral approval steps. For instance an approval between DEV and QAS and an approval between QAS and PRD.
We would like to implement the workflow for our 4 system R/3 landscape, 3 system BW and XI landscape.
Regards,
Niek Weustink

Hi Mrutyunjay,
As far as I know, you can only attach one CTS project per Solution Manager Project.
The idea is that for each different project you have for your satellite systems you´ll have to have one Solution Manager project.
This way you can use the features on Solution Manager side to control all changes ( for instance, using Change Request Management ).
Part of the CTS functionalities that we have on standard SAP installations are being migrated to Solution Manager controls.
So, you can have as many CTS projects you need on your ECC as long as you have their correspondent Solution Manager projects.
Based on ITIL standards, Solution Manager is the central point to control all changes you make in your systems.
Regards,

Can Solution Manager 3.2 be installed on top of SLD?

Hi Margie,
Yes Installing SLD and Solution Manager in the same server is the best and convenient also. I will add also other components to add (actually they come with SP12 I do not remember exactly probably with a later SP) like Netweaver Administrator and (NWA, Solution Landscape Management (SLM).
Personally I prefer Option 2 if you are plaining this for a productive system (even you can think about in clustering for HA) if you just want to install a demo or dev option 1 works fine.
Remember when you install Web AS 6.40 ABAP + J2EE It will be created 1 database with two schemas 1 for ABAP and one for J2EE (that will be option 1) wich lead to another option:
if you want you can install Solution Manager 4.0 based in NW04S this also includes Solution Manager Diagnostics which runs in J2EE and in any J2EE is installed the SLD.
The mass shipment is planned for the first quarter of 2006 now probably still in Ramp up of finalizing.
I will recommend Sol Man 4.0 because in my own experience installing/configuring Solution Manager Diagnostics NW04 to monitor the J2EE instances it was time consuming and the configuration guide was not that good hopefully in Sol Man 4.0 is faster to configure.
Best regards,
Juan Jose
