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

  • Which parameters are required for generating a solution manager key?

    Hello All,
    I generated a key in Solution Manager, to install a SAP NW 2004s SR1.
    But I receive an error during the installation from the SAPINST:
    <b>"SAP Solution manager key for the instance number... is invalid ".</b>
    I already changed the parameters for generating the key, changed the instance number, hostname, but I still receive the same error.
    Could someone tell me which parameters <u>exactly</u> are required for generating a solution manager key?
    thanks
    Thomas

    Dear Sri,
    this is exactly what I have entered, I still get the same error message.
    <u>My entries in SAPINST:</u>
    SAPinst founds one system instance on the host with
      the Instance number 00,
      the Instance name SCS00.
    And ask for the Central Instance parameters:
    there I enter<b> 01</b> for the central Instance number,
    the hostname
    and the solution manager key generated for the instance number <b>01</b>!
    best regards

  • Solution Manager Key info for Migration

    Hi Guru's,
    As we are planning to migrate / system copy all systems like SAP Portal , BI & XI to a new hardware, from P5-P590 to P6-P570 (The OS version, TL level and Patch Level for the both LPAR's remains same, i.e No change on OS versions).
    My question here is:
    We have generated a solution manager key for all systems while installation, if we migrate any SAP system to a new hardware i.e. P6-P570, will the solution manager keys work in new environment for all systems? Our Solution manager server is also on P5-P590 environment.
    As we are planning to migrate solman server also to a new env (P6-P570) from P5-P590, if the solmanger key doesnu2019t work on new env, do we need to migrate the solman server first to a new env and generate a new solman key and assign the key to the migrated systems on new env.
    Note: We are doing as is migration, i.e. hostname, SID & IP remains same.
    I hope my question is clear and understandable.
    Please provide your valuable inputs / suggestions for the migration and also provide any link for the migrations.
    Points will be awarded for each valuable answer.
    Regards

    Hi,
    If your operating system is Unix ( any flavour ) then you can create the same mount points on new hardware ( except rootvg - operating system ) and copy entire contents from old hardware's mount points to new one. You need to take care of users , groups like ORA<SID>, and <SID>ADM , DBA, SAPSYS etc. In that scenario your hardware key will change so you need to apply new license in marketplase.
    Better to migrate rootvg from your existing OS if possible , in that scenartio you need not take care of OS users , groups etc.

  • Urgent need for the creation of solution manager key please

    Hello
    Can  i please ask you to create a solution manager key for me ?
    i am stuck in my test installation of ECC6.
    Here are my details :
           Instance name : sapdb1
           Instance number : 01
           Computer name : ap-hp1
    Kind regards
    Christophe

    Hi Chris,
    I understand the urgency. There are only two ways you can get a solution manager key. One by yourself. Otherwise, please create a message with SAP requesting a solution manager key temproarily. Unfortunately, even though we can create a solution manager key, it is not advisable to distribute the key in forums.
    Hope this helps.
    Thank you.

  • Solution Manager Key for Java AS

    I'm new to SAP Netweaver so maybe this question has been answered before.
    I need to install SAP Netweaver AS Java for development/QA purposes. I understand that I  need also Solution manager key for installation so I installed another Solution Manager System.
    When I enter to Solution Manager http://<server>:50000 I get "System Landscape Directory is not accessible. Only local system can be administered". What does it mean? I remember I chose to create local SLD.
    I saw also in couple of threads the following:
    Just go to transaction SMSY transaction of solman and locate the system for which you need to generate Solman Key and just right clilck on that system...You will find the option of Generating Solution Manager Key....
    I don't have such an option when I enter to Solution Manager.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Haim Beyhan

    Hi,
    For Solman key generation refer the link below, which has the screen shots.

  • Solution Manager Key for EP '04 - EP 2004s

    Well, we just started the upgrade of our EP '04 SP18 to EP 2004s ST11. However, the PREPARE is rejecting the Solution Manager Key (generated in SSM 3.2). We came across OSS Note 811923 which says:
    For SAP ERP 2004 (SAP ECC 5.0), you require SAP Solution Manager 3.1 with Support Package 20, or SAP Solution Manager 3.2 with Support Package 4. You can also use SAP Solution Manager 4.0.
    For products of SAP Business Suite 2005 (including SAP NetWeaver 2004s), you require at least SAP Solution Manager 4.0 with Support Package 9.
    I guess we are hosed up until we upgrade our Sap Solution Manager system to 4.0. Does anyone know a work-around for this?
    thanks in advance,
    Steven McElwee, Duke University

    Hi Steven,
    Not sure of any workaround for it but you have a couple of options;
    1) Install a new solution manager 4.0 as a temporary work around to get a valid key
    2) Raise an OSS message to request support to assist you.
    Solution manager is really now a required utility system for your core apps. Even after you have the migration key it is likely that post migration you will have issues that may require patches from the service market place. As of April 2nd this year you need solution manager (4.0) Diagnostics for this.
    For these reasons I would urge you to move to Solution Manager 4.0 sooner rather than later.
    Cheers

    Check the "Master Guide SAP Solution Manager 7.0" for an overview, which CDs/DVDs you need.
    The installation guide itself is also available on that site.

    It is illegal to provide keys here.
    You have to install a solution manager first before you can install an ERP 6.0 system - or open an OSS call if your Solution Manager is not (yet) available.

    Hi,
    Can I create a solution manager key without applying license?
    I need to know an answer to this , because I am installing a Netweaver 2004s component and during installation, I am being prompted for Solution Manager Key.
    Can I use an unlicensed Solution Manager instlallation for genereating key?
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    Yes, for generating key, you can use the Solution Manager for which you have not installed license.
    Hope this solves your problem.
