Re: Kindly help Error: Solution Manager key is invalid during installation

Dear member
I need an urgent assistence if any buddy can help me I would be very great full, I am receiving an error during the installation of SAP ERP 2004 SR1 IDES, ABAP system central instance as for this I have to give a key to SAPINST which I generated from Solution Manager 4.0 I striclty followed the same step which is defined in SAPNote 811923. But the SAPINST not accepting the key it gives me an error "SAP Solution manager key is invalid ".
So guys any idea how can I get rid of this
Kind Regards
Sohail

Hi Syed,
the installation asks you for 'central SAP system' which must match the string for 'message server' when generating the key in solution manager exactly. maybe you can double check if you used the correct hostname (not FQDN) and made no typo?...
hope this helps...
cheers,
Walter

  • 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.

    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.

  • Solution Manager Key info

    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.

    Hi,
    Solution Manager key is based on SID, Hostname, Installation Number, and Product Versions. Since in your case all these remains the same. You don't need to Generate a new key. Moreover, you are not upgrading or installing new instance.
    Check [this link|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_sm40/helpdata/en/45/50b3347f166600e10000000a114a6b/content.htm].
    and the note 811923.
    This should solve your problem.
    Feel free to revert back.

  • 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

  • Request Solution Manager Key

    Hi,
    I am trying to install SAP on a test machine just for training and testing purposes and this test machine will not be connected to any current landscape. Now the installation is asking to enter Solution manager key. I searched for how to generate it and a found some articles and SAP notes but my question is: do I have to generate Solution manager key using our production Solution manager? When I initiated the setup, I selected to install only ABAP and SAP R/3 Enterprise. Now how can I complete my installation? If I don?t want to use our production Solution manager, do I have to restart the installation and select to install solution manager in addition to ABAP and R/3 Enterprise?
    Regards,
    Wilson

    Hi Mark,
    Thanks for your help, but seem some the flag function is missing or dim, can you address for me, thanks!
    In the SAP Solution Manager system, Call the system landscape maintenance (transaction SMSY), in your Solution Manager system. Create the system for which you want to generate the installation key, in the system landscape:
    1. Select the landscape component Systems, and choose Create New System from the context menu.
    2. Enter the system ID as system in the next dialog box.
    3.  Choose the product and product version from the possible entries help. Save.
    4.  Complete the system data as far as possible.
    5.  Save your entries.
    Generate the key:
    1.  Choose   Other Object in the   System Landscape  , menu.
    2. Set the System flag, [ I COULD NOT FOUND THIS FLAG] and choose the system to be installed or upgraded, from the possible entries help. If you created the system in the SAP Solution Manager, in the previous step, choose this system.
    3.  Choose Generate Installation/Upgrade Key.
    4.  Enter the required data and choose Generate Key.
    **The system displays the key.

    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.

  • 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.
