Question about Alert Framework in Solution Manager

Hi all,
We are planning to use Solution Manager as Central Monitoring Server, so I want to know what the advantage to use Solution Manager is, especially in Alerting.
We can define auto-reaction methods for monitors to send CCMS alerts to Alert Framework where the alerts can be forwarded to the personal responsible via Email or CCMS.
Is there any difference when using Solution Manager? Which additional functions dose Solution Manager provide in alerting?
In normal SAP Alert Framework, you can only define one receipt for escalation. Can Solution Manager support multiple level escalation? For example, an alert is sent to A, if the Alert is not confirmed by A, then the alert is forwarded to B automatically. The same way the alert can be forwarded to further persons.
Any idea?
Thanks!
Regards,
Hui

Hi Hui,
On my opinion there is no any advantage in useíng SAP Solution Manager as central alerting systems in respect to RZ20. The arguments are as follows:
- in SAP Solution Mnager you have performance restrictions on number of alerts to be displayed in one screen caused by the fact that the alerts are displayed in HTTP format
- All the customizing in SAP Solution Manager for System Monitoring is Solution specific and not transportable. It means that if you have got corrupted your system monitoring session (that happens not seldom) your settings are lost. If you have created another Solution for the same systems you have to perform customizing from the scratch
- Customizing is also not very esay to do. I would do recommend to use "User defined Alerts" Please have a look at the SAP Note 1023959 fro this topc
- SAP Solution Manager does not provide alerting mechanism -> you have to relay to ALM in any case. Here by the way to your second question I would say that it is possible implement exactly process you have described. In the ALM category you can use button escallation to define another person that would be informed via e-mail in case the first Recipient have not completed alert from this category within predefined time
+ The only feature that is unique with System Monitoring with SAP Solution Mnager is the possibility to change threshold values for all the MTEs / MTE Classes that are defined in User Define Alerts an one button click
At the conclussion I would say that there are some custommers that are using SM as monitoring platform But more pragmatical would be to configure RZ20 with help of Rule-based alerts and self- defined system groups and use ALM as alerting infrastructure. In this case you can save in plain XML file your Alert configuration and export it in any other system. ALM has on my opinion enogh functionality for alerting

Question about setup ewa in solution manager 4.0

Hi
I tried to setup ewa in solution manager 4.0, but when I clicked on the "setup EarlyWatch alert", it told me that:
the Service is not available, Fehlercode:ICF-NF-http-c:000-u:SAPSYS-l:D-i:saptux04_SM4_04-v:0-s:403-r:Forbidden

any one can help me?
best regards

Hello,
You will have to activate the service first in transaction SICF.
SAP recommends to do so via the the SAP Solution Manager IMG following the respective IMG path:
SAP Solution Manager Implementation Guide -> SAP Solution Manager -> Confiugration -> Basic Settings -> Standard Configuration of Basis Settings -> Solution Manager -> Activate Solution Manager Services
Enhanced configuration of SAP EarlyWatch Alert (Service: /sap/bc/webdynpro/sap/dswp_rating_4_monitoring)
This application is fairly new and contained in SAP Solution Manager 4.0 SP12 onwards. Information on the respective functionality can be found right here in the SAP Solution Manager SP News:
http://service.sap.com/~form/sapnet?_SHORTKEY=01100035870000538663&_SCENARIO=01100035870000000202&_OBJECT=011000358700000478802007E
I hope this helps to solve your issue.

Autom. replication of EarlyWatch Alerts in 2nd Solution Manager possible?

Hi experts,
I just received a question from a customer whether it is possible to automatic replicate EarlyWatch Alerts generated for systems in SolMan A to SolMan B without having all satellite systems connected to SolMan B.
There are two reports available I know: BDL_GET_SESSION_DATA and BDL_GET_DATA_AND_CREATE_SESSIO
At least via the last report it is possible to read the session number in SolMan A and create a new session with this data in SolMan B. But it is not possible to assign the sessions to a solution or run it as daily job...
Do you know if there is such a functionality in SAP standard or do we need to build our own solution here?
Regards, Richard

Hello,
This is how you genrate an EWA for on Satellite system in two Solution Manager systems.
One will be created automatically via the Maintenance Package (providing you followed best practices) or periodic EarlyWatch of Solution Manager Task if you are not follwoing best practices.
Say we have Solution Manager A & B. In SDCCN in RFC Destinations, we define Solution Manager A as the Master.
So this will be where the EWA task created by the Maintenace Package task will be sent.
For the Solution Manager B you created a Earlywatch periodci task, only you make the RFC Destination the SM<SID>CLNT<NO#>_BACK (where the SID is the SID of Solman B) Yoy can refer to SAP NOTE 207223, which is the Note that explains how to send an EWA to SAP. Its the exactsame process, but the destination is changed to the second Solution Manager.
The data comes from the Satellite/managed system, but can be directed to different destinations.
But you can't send the data from Solution Manager A to Solution Manager B.
You can send the data to Solution Manager A & B and process the data on A and on B, or any other Solman system.

Paul

Early Watch Alerts Problem in Solution Manager

Hello,
I am trying to configure EWA for my SAP R/3 systems in Solution Manager 3.2. RFC connections are working fine. EWA report that is getting generated is showing me following problem :
EarlyWatch Alert - R/3 System**********
Download Problem
We could not perform a correct analysis because essential parts of the download data are missing. The cause is probably a problem with data collection or transfer.
Recommendation: Please check the log for this session in the Service Data Control Center (execute transaction SDCC or the new SDCCN in your system). If an error entry is listed, perform the Service Preparation Check.
Implementation: To perform the Service Preparation Check, execute transaction SDCC and choose Information-> Service prep. check or if you use SDCCN create a new task 'Service Preparation Check'.
The result of Service Preparation check ( as recommended) is not throwing any error.
Can anyone help me out on this.
Regards,
Yashodhan

Hello Yashodhan Mujumdar,
we have warnings about differences in the function interface, but all works, so we ignore them.
But the missing data interface seems to be the error.
Did you read note 781680?
Do you have the newest ST-PI (2005_1_xxx SP3) and ST/A-PI (01G_xxx, this is an installation, no patch)? Do you have the right flavour of ST/A-PI?
Are ST03N and ST06 working?
Do you refresh service definitions from sapnet? Did you generate (after service refresh) on the solution manager system the includes (SPRO -> SAP Solution Manager -> Basic settings -> SAP Solution Manager System -> Operations -> Setup Service Data Control Center -> Generate Includes....
If these checks are all ok you might deactivate SDCCN both in satellite system and solution manager (SMSY -> Goto -> Solution Manager Operations -> Administration SDCCN) and activate it again.
If this doesn't work you might use the big hammer:
1) delete all the service definitions in satellite system like described in note 727998
2) delete all entries in table /BDL/_GENER (satellite system)
3) create in SolMan system a new session in order to collect and send data for this session in satellite system; if you don't see the session in the satellite system please execute there the "Maintenance Package"
4) elaborate the data for this new session in SolMan system
If all this doesn't help, open a message in sapnet
Bye

The Question about stock transfer between HU-Management and WM-Management

Hi,
There is a scenario about stock transfer between HU-Management and WM-Management storage location. I use transaction MB1B , movement type 313 , 315.

But when i do movement type 315, there is a warning message "Data of preceding document was not transmitted", and from the F1 help i find this system reponse "You can maintain an indicator that makes information about preceding documents in this delivery available under delivery type in Customizing. For some characteristics of this indicator, the type of preceding document and the related document and item numbers must be transmitted to delivery creation. At least one of these parameters is missing.".
So, My questions are:
1. Generallily, Outbound delivery is created by SO, inbound delivery is created referenc PO, but how the stock transfer for 2 steps generate the outbould delivery and inbound delivery? Could you pls tell me the where i can config this in the IMG?

Configuring the Alert monitoring of Solution Manager 4.0

Dear all,
How can I notify from the central monitoring system when alerts happened?
I have already create and assign auto-reaction method to specific monitor attribute with alerts, but nothing happend. I even looked at the table CSMCENTOOL where the alert data suppose to stored, and the table is still empty.
I will be greatfull if anyone can provide me appropriate document in this matter, or guide me with a list of things that need to be done.
Kind regards,
Yagel

Hi Kai,
Thanks for your quick response.
I have already create and assign the central auto-reaction method exactly as in the example,
and when I try to start the auto-reaction method I receive the alert information "Cannot determine data for method DUMMY_TOLL_FOR_DOUBLEHOP".
I have overcome this alert information by changing the excute method of the defined central auto-reaction from Only in central system, trigged by CCMS agents to Periodically in process(Short running program), and still, nothing notify when alert happened.
Should I configure the "Related Solution Manager configuration guides on SDN" which describe in the bottom blug as well?
I also didn't understand you when you say to send from SAP-System to another account?
Thanks in advance,
yagel.

Question about video driver and window manager

Dear All:
I have been using Arch for a couple of months now and I am absolutely amazed by how top of the line this system is.
Congratulations and thank you to all the developers!
A couple of questions for anybody interested in these topics:
1) Do people usually use open-source video drivers, or proprietary? What are the advantages/disadvantages of either solution, in terms of stability and performance? (I have an ATI Radeon Mobility graphics card on an IBM T43 laptop). Also, I use dual-head with an external NEC lcd display using MergedFramebuffer, but I notice that the external monitor is not set completely well. Looking closely at the black background standard in Openpox, for example, I notice a constant flickering of the pixels. Can it be because I am not using the proprietary ATI driver?
2) What is, in your opinion, the fastest and most reliable window manager? I wonder whether somebody has run objective comparisons.
I fell in love with wmii recently, but managed to crash it twice when I tried to run kmail (perhaps because this application is not wm-independent?).
Also, applications seem to respond the fastest in fvwm on my system!? Isn't wmii supposed to be the fastest, being the lightest?
Thank you for your help!

Question about Adding External Storage/File Management

I am using LR5.2 on mid-2011 MBA. Before long I will run out of space on the HD. I have one catalog of about 16K photos. I would like to purchase external hard drive for additional storage. I use Time Machine for backup. What is the best way to manage the additional storage and keep the catalog intact?
1) I currently have photos organized by date? i.e., Pictures/2013/2013-10-10/ etc. Should I keep this file organization as it is and then when importing new photos, select 'copy' from SD card and select 'Location' as new external drive?
OR
2) Should I move all photos to new backup drive to keep all files stored together? Would this be better for long term file management?
Any recommendations for best practices? Or is there a better to organize photos for current and future use?
Also, does the catalog stay in the same location under either 1) or 2)
Thanks in advance

I would suggest creating a root folder on the EHD. You will need to keep your EHD connected when working with Lightroom. It will show up like your Mac HD with the green light in the left hand panel.
Leave everything where it is for the time being but you may want to drag older folders to the EHD over time, as importing new photos, generating previews and using the develop module will usually be faster on the main flash drive of the MBA.
Don’t use Finder to move files/folders around. Always use the Lightroom Library and the database of files and your develop settings (catalog) will not get corrupted.

SharePoint 2010 question about alert to external user

Any ideas about how to implement an alert within SharePoint 2010 that would cause an alert to be sent to a user outside of one's organization when the value of an "Assigned To" column within a list is set to that external user's e-mail address?

It should just work. Make sure to check your mail flow (e.g. Exchange server transport logs) to validate the mail is leaving the organization. Also make sure that the user that it is Assigned To has an email address assigned to them in the User Information
List (for their User account).

Question about alerting

Greetings,
I have a request from a user to generate an alert to the logged in user whenever a goods receipt PO is received into the SBO system. I am trying to use a query to achieve this. I have two questions that I cannot find an answer to:
1) How do I get the system date from a database table? Or can I? If I can't then how do I get this value in a Query in SBO?
2)How do I get the Logged in user in a query so that i can set up this alert for the users I want to but they will only receive an alert when they are listed in the goods receipt PO?
Thank you for any information.

Hello Laura,
you can use GETDATE() to get the current date in a query
and I read in one of the post of this forum that $[USER] will give you the id of the current logged user.

Quick Question about Folder Framework Services

Ok so I set up and am learning how to use RIDC to talk to UCM, I don't really need help in that regard. My question is I'm reading the Folders Services documentation and was reading "FLD_CREATE_FOLDER" and was at a loss. One how would I find the GUID for the parent folder, and second I'm not seeing a way to add the name of the new folder. I'm at a bit of a loss with this one hoping somone can point me in the right direction.

Hi ,
To get the GUID for parent folder you can use either the service FLD_INFO along with IsJava=1 parameter or run the DB query on FolderMetaDefaults table .
1. Service part :
From the browser use the following service call :
http://ucmhostname:port/cs/idcplg?IdcService=FLD_INFO&path=/Folder1
here path refers to the hierarchical structure for the actual one under which we need to create a new one .
For eg : if Folder1 is created under root and under that we have to create a new sub-folder then path=/Folder1
If under Folder1 we have subFolder1 then path =/Folder1/subFolder1.
From that under ResultSet "FolderInfo" search for fFolderGUID and use that as the value for fParentGUID
Sample code : https://forums.oracle.com/thread/2554885
So the code would be like this :
           dataBinder.putLocal("IdcService","FLD_CREATE_FOLDER");
            dataBinder.putLocal("fParentGUID","FLD_ROOT");
            dataBinder.putLocal("fFolderName","RIDCFF1");
Above example creates a new folder under root itself .
Hope this helps .
Thanks,
Srinath
