Solution Manager upgrade issue on Linux

Hi Alll,
Need your inputs/thoughts on this issue.
We are planning for Solution Manager upgrade from 3.1 to 4.0 and for this the setup and plan is as below:
The production data of the solution manager has been copied as a VMX FILE(VM Player) file on to a test server and we have plans to upgrade that and check and then upgrade on the production system.
The test machine has got a different IP address and hostname. From the test machine when I start the sap instance its affecting the Production machine and dueto which the production will not work until I stop the SAP Instance on the test machine.
It cannot be a IP conflict or hostname conflict as we have them differently on the test machine. But still there is an issue. The IT dept says the issue is with the starting up of the instance and we dont know where to see what exactly is the problem.
I am new to upgradation stuffs, this is my 1st assignment and I am not sure from where to start!!
Can anyone of you tell me where to check for the details?
SOLMAN is installed on a unix machine with oracle 9.2 and we are planning to upgrade it to SOLMAN 7.0
any suggestions on where to look out for the possible issue?

Hi,
I did this a lot and know the side effects a little.
My recipe:
1. Start the copy without network and manage it from the VMWare Console. Change the IP address and make sure all references to the hostname (DNS and /etc/hosts) point to the new one. I hope you're working consistently with hostnames and no IP addresses.
2. Configure the firewall (iptables) on the copied system to block all requests from and to the original production server. If there is any communication with other SAP servers (like monitoring agents, SLD, or others) block this too!
3. Re-enable the network in VMWare.
Alternatively: Can't you simply put this in a VLAN or a real seperated network with just the server and a management workstation?
Hope that helps..

Wily Introscope Version for Solution Manager 7 SPS 17

Hi
We have a solution manager 4 (now 7) running on an ABAP stack only, this was recently upgraded from Solution Manager 3.2 which was installed 3 years ago as ABAP stack only, this server was never powerful enough to have the Java stack added and the project did not require it.
I am now looking to migrate this ABAP Solution Manager 7 to a new server, using ABAP & JAVA so I can make use of Solution Managaer tools like Diagnostics, RCA, WILY etc.
On a sandpit copy I have migrated the ABAP instance to a more powerful server and added the Java Instance from the Solution Manager 4 Installation Master, so I now have a dual stack SM 4, I have patched this to SP17.
I am looking to install Wily Introscope for monitoring, I have read Note 797147 - Wily Introscope Installation for SAP Customers, where it says you should always use the latest version of Wily, which is 8.0.2, but looking at the note, the downloads for Introscope Enterprise Manager and Introscope Workstation are from SAP SOLUTION MANAGER 7.0 EHP 1, but I am not running Solution Manager on EHP1, I am on SP Stack 17.
Looking in the SWDC there are downloads in SAP SOLUTION MANAGER 7.0 -> Entry by Component -> Solution Manager JAVA Stack -> WILY INTROSCOPE ENTPR MGR 8
Is this what I should be using for my SP Stack 17, or should I use the EHP1 version?
Also, setting up the Solution Manager Diagnostics, is there a setup PDF for Solution Manager 7 SP17 ? I cannot find a setup guide for this release, most are for EHP1, I would rather not have to implement EHP1 as part of this migration !
Thanks for any help.
Paul.

Hi Bhudev
Thanks for the reply, I presumed it was the Wily introscope 8 without the EHP1 I required.
As for installation guide, I have think you have misunderstood my question, I already have the wily installation guide from the note location, I wanted to know if there is any Solution Manager Diagnostics setup guides for SP17 ?
When I use transaction SOLMAN_WORKCENNTER --> System Monitoring --> Solution Manager Diagnostics --> Diagnostics System --> Diagnostics Setup --> Setup Wizard
the first 2 (of 23) setups are failing :
SSO The value of profile parameter login/accept_sso2_ticket could not be checked
BI Cannot invoke CCMSBISETUP on host localhost
Warning :
User(BI) Role SAP_BI_E2E does not exist
Then it says :
To complete the Diagnostics Setup, you should perform the following operations as documented in Diagnostics Setup Guide
I cannot find this Diagnostics Setup Guide for SP17 ?
The installation guides are mainly for EHP1, media library under sap-ag.de/diagnostics does not show this setup guide, Master Installation guide does not mention it, so was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction for this guide ?
Thanks,
Paul.

Solution Manager Upgrade to EHP1 7.01

Hi
Need some help. Could you please share upgrade doc/exp with me, we are planning for upgrade solution manager from sp17 to sp19.
Stack level 18 or 19 is the part of EHP1 of Solution Manager version 7.01.
What is the process to upgrade the support pack to sp level 19? i have no exp to upgrade to EHP1 level..Any difference ?
Thanks in advance
Amar

Hi Amarjit,
Solution manager upgrade to EHP1 is same like other stack upgrade. You can do it using SAINT/JSPM. But only thing you need is good preparation.
Check upgrade guide on http://service.sap.com/solutionmanager.
Also, check SAP Note 1276895 - Add. info. about Upgrading to SAP Solution Manager 7.0 EHP1 and SAP Note 1169247 - Enhancements to Solution Manager 7.0 EHP1 upgrade
Thanks

Is it feasible to create odataservice for Solution manager using UI5 technology?

Hi Experts,
Is it possible to create new odata service for solution manager, such as Viewing BPML(Business process master list).
If yes, kindly share the steps/way to achieve.
Regards,
Asmita Ranade

Julie,
same answer here which you already got in the two threads you opened on the MOS communities: No, not really since you want to do it in Answers. It *would* be possible in the RPD, but quite pointless to instantiate an RPD variable just to instantiate some literal code.

Problem in installation of Business Content for Solution Manager

Hi all,
I have a problem while trying to install the Business Content for Solution Manager. In detail, I cannot install/ see the Process chains. I am not much familiar with Business content installation, so maybe I missed and /or some step.
Following the instructions from SAP IMG (SPRO/ SAP IMG / Solution Manager / Configuration / Scenario-specific settings / Solution monitoring / BI Reporting / BI Client) , I activated the Datasource 0SM_SMG_ROOT , performed all the steps and installed all the relevant Business Objects (Infoobjects, Datasources, Infocubes, Infopackages, etc.). All the objects seen from transaction RSA1 seem correctly installed and activated.
The last step is the installation/activation of the Process chains. This step is executed, but the installation job terminates with messages like Infopackage 0SM_XXXX does not exist in D version; activation not possible. It seems like Process chains are looking for some Infopackage, and these are not present. They are not present indeed, and I dont know why. The result is that no Process chain is visible from transaction RSPC.
Am I missing some step, or doing a wrong/ incomplete procedure ?
Thanks a lot

HI Saravanan,
For Solman Service Desk, the following objects are used :
Cube : 0CSRV_C01
DSO : 0CRM_PROH
DataSource : 0CRM_SRV_PROCESS_H
And apart from this there are some MD datasources, for BPARTNER, USER STATUS, CATEGORY etc.

if somebody knows somthing , please , let me know.
Thank you.

There isn't a lot of standard content for Solution Manager. It's mostly alerts, server, module, database and overall system information for the environments connected to that Solution Manager instance. The standard DataSources are:
0SM_DSWPBI_BPM                   BPM Data (Alert Data)
0SM_DSWPBI_DB390
0SM_DSWPBI_DB400                DB400 Data
0SM_DSWPBI_DBADA               Adabas Data
0SM_DSWPBI_DBDB2               DB2 Data
0SM_DSWPBI_DBINF                Informix Data
0SM_DSWPBI_DBMSS              SQL Server Data
0SM_DSWPBI_DBORA              Oracle Data
0SM_DSWPBI_MODUL              Module Data
0SM_DSWPBI_PERF                 Performance Data
0SM_DSWPBI_SERVER            Server Data
0SM_DSWPBI_SYSDATA          System Details Data
0SM_DSWPBI_SYSTEM            System Data
There are several InfoCubes, one for each DataSource in the standard content. These InfoCubes are then unioned in a standard content MultiProvider.

Process for applying for Solution Manager Key?

I have to install a NW2004s system in a AIX Machine.
I understand that i need a solution manager key for installation. We dont have solution Manager installed in our Landscape. But i came to know that i can request for a solution manager key from SAP
Please let me know the website, process for applying for Solution Manager key

Balaji,
This is interesting, SAP is pushing customers to have solution Manager installed with features like Solution Manager Key, Maintainance Optimizer etc. It will get difficult for customers who do not have solution Manager running on their site.
You will have to create support message under the component XX-SER-SMKEY and request for solution manager key, provide them all the details of your system.
Cheers,
Nisch

Third-party tools for solution manager

Hi all,
Im new for solution manager a i just want to know whats SM tools and whats the third-party tools integrate and interface with SAP Solution Manager and if will be more third party tools?? ( Whats the add on tools SM have??)
regards
Tim

Hi Murali Narayanan
If you wan to achieve monitoring from technical perspective, the way that was introduced by shivjansi might be the option.
If you want to check the entry of specific table in stand alone MSSQL to ensure the business process that use MSSQL
stand alone DB, you can use BPMon remote DB monitoring that enables monitoring of non ABAP/ non SAP that supported
by netweaver like MSSQL, Oracle, DB2.
By using this function, you can monitor the entry of your stand alone SQL server.
For example, stand alone SQL Server has some table that contains some error,
or there is application table and in one row that it indicates error or completeness.
Now if you want to check these error document or incomplete document in the DB,
you can use BPMon remote DB monitor.
By monitoring this, you can ensure whether there is issue in your business or not.
You can find out how to setup from following link.
http://service.sap.com/bpm
->technical detail ->Setup Guide for non-ABAP/non-SAP
P14 (The monitoring object u201CGeneric Table Entry Counter for remote DBu201D (NATABCNX) )
is related description.
(In the document, it also introduce some other way using web service).
Also in same link, you can find out other document like how to setup BPMon.
Also there is some blog about table entry counter. it is for SAP ABAP system.
But the function is more or less same for remote DB.
So you can also check following blog to have more understandable image.
