Monitor system change status using Solman

Is it possible to setup a CCMS monitor that causes an alert whenever the system change option is modified in SE06? Last week we had to open our production environment to make a change and then forgot to close it. The result was the system was left open for a few days before we realized the mistake.
Any help is appreciated.
I have found another way to monitor this scenario

Hi Rayyan,
All of the readings regarding changing Oracle passwords state that they should be done in Brtools because it updates certain SAP tables with the new password information while doing it diterctly under SQLPLUS will only update Oracle
All the SAP tables are owned by schema user and not system or SYS users. Both these users are used only by Oracle processes. Hence it has to be changed by SQL command.
Hope this is useful.

What is System Change Option Used For?

Hi,
I need help on security.
we use scc4 settings for client protection. the settings are 'No changes allowed' for client-specific objects and 'No Changes to Repository and cross-client customizing objects' for cross-client object changes.
system change options are set to 'Modifiable'. what is the difference between these settings? Is there any situation that may cause problems?
thanks,
- ferudun

Hi ,
      No Changes allowed flag is explained as below
This flag means that changes in the customizing settings of the client
are not permitted (client lock).
However, customizing settings can be exported from the client by manual
creation of a transport request. A manual transport can be carried out
in the particular transaction for settings with the function Transport,
which places the selected customizing settings in a transport request.
In a productive client, the customizing settings that can be maintained
as "current settings" are excluded from the client lock; this means that
current settings (e.g. exchange rates, posting periods) can always be
maintained in the productive client
For 'No changes to Repository and cross cleint customizing objects' explained below
   o   Changes to the Repository and cross-client Customizing permitted
       There are no restrictions on the maintenance of cross-client object
       for the client when this setting is used. Both cross-client
       Customizing objects and objects of the SAP Repository can be
       maintained.
   o   No change to cross-client Customizing objects
       Cross-client Customizing objects cannot be maintained in the client
       with this setting.
   o   No change to Repository objects
       With this setting, objects of the SAP Repository cannot be
       maintained in the client.
   o   No change to Repository and cross-client Customizing objects
         Combination of both restrictions: Neither cross-client Customizing
objects nor objects of the SAP Repository can be maintained in the
client.
Please reward if useful.

System changes status of preceding document

Hello *,
within our quotation process we're faced to a not expected and not required behaviour.
process:
1. Create quotation with item lines
2. Press button "more" --> "Send all Items"
3. Create a follow-up quotation
4. Choose to be copied items
5. Save the follow-up
==> The system sets the status E0005 "transferred to R/3" with systemstatus RELE automatically for the preceding document. Of course this transaction is distributed to the ECC what is not required.
How to avoid this step?
There is no entry for "Send all items" in column transaction to control a system status within status customizing.
We do not use a copy routine for follow-up generation and no BADIs are implemented. The event trace did not give any usable results.
How to avoid the automatically document transfer from CRM to ECC by not requested status change during follow-up creation in quotation process?
Kind regards
Thomas

Hi Thomas,
I am also facing the same issue. I am also looking for the solution. will let you know if any success.

Server Monitor Notifications - Drive Status Changed - Time Machine

I'm using an Xserve as a file server for a small workgroup . It has a Raid 1 set which is being backed up via Time Machine to an attached disk array.
Whenever Time Machine runs (every hour), I get two notifications from Server Monitor that the drive status has changed:
*Reason(s) for notification:*
*Drive status changed*
The timestamps on the notifications coincide with these messages in system.log
Feb 2 11:28:05 ciesaxserve2 Server Monitor[854]: * _NSSocket.m:243 read() failed; socket=0x197060 error=(NSPOSIXErrorDomain,61)
Feb 2 11:28:05 ciesaxserve2 Server Monitor[854]: * _NSSocket.m:243 write() failed; socket=0x197060 error=(NSPOSIXErrorDomain,61)
Feb 2 11:28:05 ciesaxserve2 Server Monitor[854]: * _NSSocket.m:243 read() failed; socket=0x2090e90 error=(NSPOSIXErrorDomain,61)
Feb 2 11:28:05 ciesaxserve2 Server Monitor[854]: * _NSSocket.m:243 write() failed; socket=0x2090e90 error=(NSPOSIXErrorDomain,61)
and:
Feb 2 11:28:55 ciesaxserve2 servermgrd[78]: servermgr_backup: TimeMachinePostBackupHook called.
Feb 2 11:28:55 ciesaxserve2 servermgrd[78]: servermgr_backup: TimeMachinePostBackupHook done.
The notifications simply report that all is normal, and the number of available drives goes from 6, to 7, back to 6. Something to do with making the backup volume available, I presume.
I would like to disable these specific messages. I realize I can disable all messages from server monitor regarding disk statuses, but then I would be turning off messages about failures and actual problems.
Is there a config I can edit which will only alert me to actual problems? I'd like to stop getting 48 emails each day; reduce the noise and increase the signal.

I know this post is old but this has recently cropped up for me. I have been backing up with Time Machine for months without a single alert. It started happening after I replaced the failed battery on my RAID card. A coincidence...however the prolonged down time surely caused an SMC (and perhaps PRAM) reset which I assume triggered the change in behavior.
I've pinned it down to Time Machine backing up service settings, in particular the Open Directory archive. Time Machine backs up all the service data independently from the rest of the data on your server startup volume.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5139
You can see this data in Terminal.
serveradmin$ cd /Volumes/[YourBackupVolume]/Backups.backupdb/[YourServerName]/Latest/[YourBootVolume]/.ServerBackups
serveradmin$ ls -al

drwxr-xr-x@ 2 root admin    68 4 Jun 14:44 wikiServer
If you take a look inside the openDirectory folder you should see this:
serveradmin$ cd openDirectory
serveradmin$ ls -al
total 81936
drwxr-xr-x@ 4 root admin       136 4 Jun 15:32 .

-rw-r--r--@ 1 root admin       249 4 Jun 15:32 openDirectory.browse.plist
The ServerBackup_OpenDirectoryMaster.sparseimage contains an archive of your Open Directory database like the one you create from Server Admin. The only difference is that it appears to be unencrypted. This is a bit worrying since Snow Leopard, as far as I know, does not have an option to encrypt your Time Machine backup. This image seems to invisibly mount whenever a Time Machine backup is triggered. This can be verified by checking /private/var/log/system.log and filtering for backup
serveradmin$ tail -b 100 /var/log/system.log | grep backup

Jun 4 16:10:29 yourservername com.apple.backupd[25117]: Backup completed successfully.
You can see at 16:00:56 Server Manager got a call from Time Machine to start the services backup and finished at 16:09:26. Open Directory would have been backed up during that process. Take a look at /private/var/log/hwmond.log
serveradmin$ tail /private/var/log/hwmond.log
Tue Jun 4 16:08:36 BST 2013 - Number of drives change from 4 to 5.
Tue Jun 4 16:08:48 BST 2013 - Number of drives change from 5 to 4.
You'll see that both drive change warnings from Server Monitor occured just before the services backup completed. You can also use the sudo diskarbitrationd -d command along with tail /private/var/log/diskarbitrationd.log in another terminal window, trigger a Time Machine backup manually and watch this disk image mount during the backup process. Compare the mount times with the above logs to see if they all match up.
Although I have discovered the cause (which thankfully seems harmless) I have not discovered a way to stop it from generating pointless alerts. I'll post here if I figure it out. I am in the process of upgrading all of my servers to Mountain Lion so it may be a moot point. I am hopeful this information may help someone out there even though it is thoroughly out of date.

CCMS is used for system monitoring , why should we use solution manage ?

CCMS is used for system monitoring , why should we use solution manage ?
Whats the relationship between CCMS system and SolMan?
Thank you .

hi,
I just want to ask a question. At our client we have solution manager and CCMS. There is data in CCMS I can extract, it is loading on BW side ok the same number of recs, but the problem on CCMS cubes says there are the same number of record in the cube and also showing as the data is ready for the reporting. But when I run the report and view the data as listcube it is empty.
ANy of you have the situation like this cube say it has the data but when do th BEX or infocube contents the cube is empty nothing in there. The same thing is happening with hourly, 15 minute and daily cubes.
Anyhelp on this matter is appreciated

Changing Work Status using data package or script logic

Is it possible to set Work Status using Script logic, or an SSIS package.
I know status is kept is an SQL table, is it possible to just update the locking table with a new record, or is there more to changing the work status.
Thanks for you help

Thanks for your reply. This would be a nice enhancement.
Although the work status does help with the audit trail of who and what locks the data, doing it automatically will allow the system to automatically unlock the period when it is opened before auto-loading the current closing balances. It will need to be carefully used in order to maintain proper audit trail of the data. When done automatically, the system userid would be used in the lock table witha timestamp.
I am needing to know if there are anyother steps involved in locking data other than writing to the SQL lock table. Is usppose this is especailly relevant when locking a parent and pushing the status to the children.

Is it possible to monitor State change of a .CSV file using powershell scripting ?

Hi All,
I just would like to know Is it possible to monitor State change of a .CSV file using powershell scripting ? We have SCOM tool which has that capability but there are some drawbacks in that for which we are not able to utilise that. So i would like
to know is this possible using powershell.
So if there is any number above 303 in the .CSV file then i need a email alert / notification for the same.
Gautam.75801

Hi Jrv,
Thank you very much. I modified the above and it worked.
Import-Csv C:\SCOM_Tasks\GCC2010Capacitymanagement\CapacityMgntData.csv | ?{$_.Mailboxes -gt 303} | Export-csv -path C:\SCOM_Tasks\Mbx_Above303.csv;
Send-MailMessage -Attachments "C:\SCOM_Tasks\Mbx_Above303.csv" -To “[email protected]" -From “abc@xyz" -SMTPServer [email protected] -Subject “Mailboxex are above 303 in Exchange databases” -Body “Mailboxex are above 303 in Exchange databases"
Mailboxex - is the line which i want to monitor if the values there are above 303. And it will extract the lines with all above 303 to another CSV file and 2nd is a mail script to email me the same with the attachment of the 2nd extract.

Changing STS status using ABAP

Hi Experts,
Is it possible to change status in STS using some ABAP program or FM?
If it isn't possible, we can update table UPS_CHANGELOG. But in that case I suppose no emails will be sent.

Hi Adnrey,
The STS interface is run by class CL_UPS_VISUALIZATION.
Method UPDATE_GT_LAUFZEIT looks to be one used for update.

Changing status of Task created by system in Notification.

I am facing a problem while changing status of "Task" in Notification to "Complete". Actually I want that if system is cretating a Task automatically in Notification, this Task should have status "Complete" instead of release.
For this to happen I did some settings but after that system is giving me arror as shown in below.
If any body has faced simmilar situation, pl. give some clue.
Object does not exist (status management)
Message no. IM258
Diagnosis
This refers to an error in central status management.
Task status
The central status management connection at task level will only be supported from Release 3.0.
For this reason, no task status is available for statuses created before changing to Release 3.0, and status change is therefore also not possible.
Procedure
In the case of task statuses of notifications in releases prior to 3.0:
When you save a notification you can create a status for the tasks.
In the case of notification or task statuses for notifications from Release 3.0:
Please refer to your system administrator.

Hello Satyender,
if you try to change the status of a task this will lead to the described behaviour, this SAP standard.
Sorry that I can give you no solution in this case.

Isabelle

can we change the default file format u2018BINu2019 of system to u2018ASCu2019 using table TSOPE
if possible:will it affect any system performance

Hello Vincent,
BIN(Binary) is default selection.and so we have to select ascii.to make myself more clear my queries is like:
first for setting ascii what we need to enter in text box that is against ASCII.and
secondly if we select ASCII will it affect system performance in anyways.

Xi3.0 Monitoring using a Central Monitoring system

Hi Guys
Has any of you managed to integrate XI3.0 SLD into Solution Manager 3.10 SLD or is it just not possible?
Have you figured out how to setup XI3.0 and Alert management to integrate that into a Central Monitoring system?
/tobbe

Hi Guys
I guess the obvious solution to my very own question would be to...
1. Install a 640 J2EE instance as a MASTER SLD
2. Configure both XI and Solution Manager to call "MASTER SLD" for info.
I will produce a document and publish it here as soon as I am done with the installations and configurations
Thanks for a great TechED

Function to change status of the STS (Status and Tracking System)

Hi experts,
do you know a way to execute a function that changes status in the STS hierarchy?
We have a web interface with a BPS layout in it, and want to change the status of the STS according to the legal entity that has been changed as soon as a user clicks on a button.
Do you know a way (function or sth else) to do that?
Any hint will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Thomas

Have a look to these badis: CRM_ORDER_AUTH_CHECK (for authorization purposes), and CRM_ORDER_SAVE (To check the changes at save).
