Post-Installation and Configuration of Solution Manager 7.1

Question

Dear community,
we are a SAP Channel Partner and want to offer SAP BO support; therefore I am about to set up the Solution Manager 7.1 on a Windows 2008 R2 host with Oracle Database 11g. The installation has been completed successfully and I have applied our permanent license, but performing the following post-installation steps some problems and questions have arised. Because I don't want to write a novel right here, let's begin with the first issue:
Updating the Solman, as suggested in post-installation.
I want to update my ISS to SP 04 and followed the common instructions using ESPIN and SPAM (see, for example, this thread: ).
That means, all packages have been loaded from ESPIN into SPAM. The problem is, that I have SPAM version 0039, but I get error message "you need at least version 0040" when I try to start the update queue. Also, I am not able to download a newer version of SPAM from SMP (702-0043 and 702-0045 are available there), because I need MOPZ for that (a message comes up telling me that items in my download basket have to be confirmed before I am allowed to download them), which will be available not before basic configuration during solman_setup later on.
So, what to do? Is there another way to get that 5MB SPAM update or do I have to go on with the old version?
Thanks in advance
Sönke

Answer 1

Okay, I am just re-installing my Solution Manager 7.1, because I couldn't solve my SPAM problem (linked thread in my next-to-last post).
I would like to configure the whole SAProuter SNC thing now. The Solution Manager host is the same which has the SAProuter installed. I have already registered and certified it and created the Windows Service which starts the SAProuter (saprouter -r -S 3299 -G routerlog -K u201Cp:CN=XXX, OU=YYY, OU=SAProuter, O=SAP, C=DEu201C), XXX and YYY being the appropriate values.
Now I want to create my saprouttable. A beta version is this one here, based on some tutorials in the internet:
KT "p:CN=sapserv2, OU=SAProuter, O=SAP, C=DE" 194.39.131.34 3299
KP "p:CN=sapserv2, OU=SAProuter, O=SAP, C=DE"  3200
1. deny all other connections
D * * *
Do you think it's alright? I'm connecting via host port 3299, so the first two lines should be alright, shouldn't they?.
The fourth line P ? The local IP address of my host? What is that line for at all?
Another question: The connection to OSS doesn't work yet, probably because of our local hardware router firewall. Which ports do I have to forward? I suppose it is just 3299?
An elaborate answer would be highly appreciated!
