Need suggetions on Central SLD as Solution Manager!

Hi Experts,
I need a help/ suggestion on deciding the Central SLD system in our landscape. We are using Solution Manager 7.01 as the Central SLD for the new Installations and including the old Systems too. But We came to know that SAP is not recommending using Solution Manager as Central SLD System. So please tell me, is it recommended or not and what problems may occur in future if we continue Solution Manager as Central SLD.
Thanks,
Ajay.

Production SLD in solution manager

Hi,
I have small doubt regarding SLD (System Landscape Directory) in Solution Manager.
We have an Production SLD in Solution Manager dual stack system, and our Production System (Portals, BI, ERP, PI) was configured to Production SLD in Solution Manger.
We are planning to apply patches for our live production Solution Manager System, I know that SLD will stop while doing the Patches on Solution Manager and this will make our production systems stop working.
Therefore I need to know the correct way around this to allow us to patches for our Solution Manager system.
Thanks and Regards
Pavan Morishetty.

Joshi,
Thanks for your quick reply.
But in our company we don't want to change our Production SLD from Solman system to any other System (eg. PI, Portal).
If you any other suggestion please update me for applying the patches in Solman System.
Thanks and Regards
Pavan

Need Suggestion on Central SLD System

Hi Experts,
I need a help/ suggestion on deciding the Central SLD system in our landscape. In our current SAP System landscape we do not have XI Servers for Central SLD, So we are using Solution Manager 7.01 as the Central SLD for the new Installations and including the old Systems too. But We came to know that SAP does not recommend using Solution Manager as the productive SLD System.
So we have stopped the process of including old systems to Solution Manager now and we decided to build the system for central SLD which is recommended by SAP. So please suggest me which system is more recommended by SAP like EP/ ECC/ NW or any other.
Thanks.

XI SLD and Solution Manager

Hi there,
we have a scenario with 2 XI (PI 7.0) Systems (<SIDa>, <SIDb>) with a central SLD for the whole system landscape.
In Solution Manager 4.0, in transaction SMSY (landscape components), one XI is registered as "SAP Exchange Infrastructure --> <SIDa> --> SAP Exchange Infrastructure" with Product Version "SAP Exchange Infrastructure 3.0". The other XI is registered as "SAP Netweaver --> <SIDb> --> Application Server ABAP" with Product Version "SAP Netweaver 2004s".
In my eyes that is wrong (shouldn't both of them be under the same entry?). What can be happened here? How should we resolve that? Could this setting result in problems with EWA or central monitoring?
Thank you,
Matthias

Thanks for the answer!
Just that I get you right: Both XI systems have to be registered twice? Each as WEB AS ABAP and Exchange Infrastructure in Solution Manager?

Can PI 7.1 and Central Monitoring on Solution Manager 7.0 coexist

Hi,
I would like to know if there are any restrictions if any for using PI 7.1 instead of PI 7.0 with Solution Manager 7.0, NWA 7.0 and CCMS 7.0. I would like to know the problems if any we may face for central monitoring PI 7.1 from Solution manager 7.0.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
In SAP xi it depends on sp (service pack ) only.

Installing SLD in Solution Manager 3.2

Please tell me the Step by Step procedure to configure SLD (System Landscape Directory) in solution manager 3.2, I have installed solution Manager 3.2, in that it ask to enter SLD, i have filled the contains but i don't know to activate it and the procedure to configure it. It is urgent
Thanking you
Satinder Pal Singh Lamba

Hello George,
The best possible thing for you now ( assuming that everything was working absolutely fine before the upgrade and that you now continue to have no issues with raising tickets in other satellite systems ) would be to find out the side effects of the SP applied..... or may be look for notes resembling your problem.....
SAP Marketplace is one the one you must look upto.....In the meanwhile just raise an OSS for the same..
Inspire ppl by rewarding..

Registering IDM to SLD and Solution Manager

Hi Everyone,
Is there any way to register IDM to SLD/Solution Manager?
Right now, I am having it as a Portal Component only for the UI, with a standalone server for the IDM Dispatcher.
Any idea,
Appreciated
Manuel

Hi Manuel,
This was recently discussed. Please take a look at these threads and see if they are helpful:
Identity Management 7.2 and LMDB and SAP IDM integration in SLD.
Hopefully they will be of some help.

Help Needed: HP QTP/UFT integration with Solution Manager

Hi Experts,
We are trying to make HP UFT 12.00 work with Solution Manager 7.1 for enabling automated testing for our client. We have successfully linked HP UFT and Solution Manager and were able to record and execute a test script created in HP UFT with no problem.
Unfortunately, when we tried creating a new test script in HP UFT and tried saving it so that it is stored in Solution Manager, we get the following error. We have reviewed the integration procedures and authorization objects needed and it seems nothing was missed.
Anybody familiar with the said error or any suggestions where to look will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Detailed steps for replicating the issue:
Connect to Solution Manager through Tools -> SAP Solution Manager Connection…
2.     Open Unified Functional Testing (UFT) 12.00
3.     Click File -> New -> Test
4.     Type even a dummy script in the Action window
5.     Save Test Script by clicking File -> Save <test name> As…
6.     Fill out dialogue box with Test name and Test version then click Ok. Note: I used Z* name
7.     Error Message appears
Note:
One observation is that, error message only appears when trying to save a Test that is not currently in Solution Manager. If I try saving the dummy test from above as “Z_CREATE_SALES_ORDER_02” (exists in Solution Manager),
I am asked if I want to overwrite existing test in Solution Manager.

Hi,
I have configured the solman in accordance with UFT12.0 but still un-able to make conenction to the solution manager.
Connect to Solution Manager through Tools -> SAP Solution Manager Connection…

Need help on implementing functionalities of solution manager

Hi solution manager gurus, i have to propose a method to implement SOLMAN functionality
Landscape consists of around 15 servers
SAP users 800
typical 3 system DEV-CONS-PRD landscape on all instances
Till now only Upgrade service functionality has been used in SOLMAN, they would like to implement the services below
   1. Engagement and Service Delivery u2013 service delivery and issue management
   2. System Administrations (Solution Monitoring, Root Cause Analysis, System Diagnostic, including non-SAP IT environments)
   3. Implementation/Upgrading SAP Solutions (Scenario Management)
   4. Business Process operations (Incident Management, System Landscape (cross IT landscape)
   5. Change management (for functional enhancements and updates)
   6. Test Management
Can anyone suggest the right approach in implementing those services
also can anyone suggest a rough possible time line in implementing this with rough FTE?

Hi,
my suggestion is to check the standard documentation of the interface IF_EX_ME_GUI_PO_CUST.
After that you can check the method IF_EX_ME_GUI_PO_CUST~TRANSPORT_TO_DYNP in the example implementation class CL_EXM_IM_ME_GUI_PO_CUST.

Change Management u0096 Central Configuration u0096 Solution Manager 4

I am working in Change Management for solution manmager 4. I have configured maintenance project.
But I can not see Project Cycle tab in System landscape table of project maintenance transaction code SOLAR_PROJECT_ADMIN.
SM 4 patch level is - ST 400 0008.
Also I would like to know where should I configure TMS for satellite systems? (e.g. ECC system DR0-100 client?). In ECC system or in SM 4 system?
Please suggest.
Regards,
Darshan

Hi Darshan,
you have to configure the TMS in the satellite system (Domain Controler). It is described in the IMG -> Solution Manager ->..-> scenario. spec. Settings -> change request management -> standard settings -> TMS.
E.g. you have to establish inter domain links, client spec. transport routs (CTC=1), you have to set CTS-Project IDs mandatory for all used clients..., everything described in the IMG.

Central SLD Configuration

Dears,
Recently we installed PI DEV and PI QAS server.At time of configuration we choose local SLD option for configuration.
But now we are getting requirement to configure central SLD.
So please confirm which strategy is good between them and if it is central SLD,Please suggest the
procedure to change local SLD configuration to central SLD.
Shivam

Hi Shivam
The SLD planning guide provided previously is the key source to plan, implement and run an SLD landscape
However what it may not deal with specifically is changing an existing SLD landscape to accomodate a local PI specific
SLD and a new Central SLD for Solution Manager (or other purposes)
Some things to consider when selecting Sync options
1) 1 Dual purpose SLD is not recommended - a central SLD might have different administration requirements than a PI specific SLD
2) Where possible do not change established import or export lines in either SLD
3) Keep all SLDs involved in the sync at the same J2EE version, SP landscape and CIM model/content
As the PI SLD can be productive critical - full consideration has to be given to this SLD as you can
still maintain systems manually in a central SLD manually - or indeed in Solution Manager itself (both manually and automatically via RFC) - therefore I would recommend a unidirectional sync from local PI SLD to Central SLD of PI landscape data only - either manually or automatically or indeed explore any available options to have data suppliers update both SLDs (there was some options similiar to this in older SLD versions - but I am not completely familiar with the latest SLD builds)
I would not however encourage full sync or CIM based sync as there maybe established CIM import lines on either SLD nor would I specifically encourage the Central SLD to influence data on the Local existing PI SLD
Best wishes

Why NWA/SLD/ Solution manager redundancy

I am just curious why systems like SLD and Solution manager both contain the same information? Like systems, software componenets etc.
Another question, I was just reading the docs for NWA administrator and I see that they are suggesting to do some ccms monitoring through NWA. Doesnt solution manager do this already? How many places are there to do monitoring, which ones are best???
Does anyone have Project experience and best practices for this?
Thanks

Hello Jeremy,
please note that Solution Manager its own landscape information (tcode SYMSY), which can also be synchronized with the SLD.
Solution Manager is just another display option for monitoring data. The actual monitoring data is retrieved by the CCMS monitoring infrastructure, which is also used by the NWA.
Java-only monitoring data is also retrieved by NWA via JMX. Even in a Java-only landscape, you must have a double-stack system as central system in order to display availability data provided by the CCMSPING agent.
To monitor an ABAP-only landscape, you do not need NWA for the time being.
To monitor a "mixed" landscape, you should use NWA on a double-stack system.
For more information, you can use the following quick links in the SAP Service Marketplace: /nwa, /monitoring and /javamonitoring.

Dieter

Using central Solution Manager for monitoring multiple customers

Hello,
We are working on monitoring SAP systems of several customers. For every customer we have configured central monitoring on Solution Manager system of that customer. All satellite systems are added to RZ21 and CCMS agents are configured correctly. On the Solution Manager, in RZ20 we have created a rule based monitor specific to the needs of customer, and that monitor is used for the whole landscape of every customer.
But now I need to configure our central Solution Manager system which will collect CCMS data from all satellite systems of all customers on one place in RZ20. That central Solution Manager system should have direct connection only to customer Solution Manager systems and not to their satellite systems. Is this possible? If yes, can you please explain me how to do it or point me to documentation? I was unable to find solution.
To make this more clear I made a picture of desired configuration:

Edited by: Dejan Terzic on Feb 10, 2011 10:04 AM

Hi Dejan,
as far as I know this is not possible.
we had similar issues, every time we migrated a new customer to or datacenter. Our solution was, to register the CCMS agents to two systems for a period of migration.
Sometime ago, I found a question for that an SDN:
Using another CEN for Solution Manager
I know, that this is not your question exactly, but it is the right direction...
Kind regards

Solution Manager 3.2: SLD server connection is inactive SCDT_LIS_IF011

Trying to execute an automatic data transfer from SLD to Solution Manager 3.2 with transaction SMSY_SETUP, I have recieved the update log message:
The SLD server connection is inactive
Message no. SCDT_LIS_IF011
SLD Connection Test displayed:

We customized transactions SLDAPICUST,LCRSERVADDR, SMSY_SETUP->Edit->expert setting as requested in SAP documentation and definied technical, system and business landscapes in SLD (SLD server log: no errors found).
Some suggestions how to fix it?

Hello Christine,
due to the fact that we (up to now) have no need for a business landscape, we created one manualy to test if the check would get a bit further then.
We created a business landscape with the following settings:

Business System Role: Application System
Related Integration Server: (no integration server defined)
Testing the Connection wit SLDCHECK we got this error message:
