SAP Host and Diagnostic agent

Dear Experts,
We are running ECC 6.6 and Portal on Net Weaver 7.31 ,and have Soution Manager 7.1,As I have read many places that host agent get installed automatically with Net Weaver Installation.
In My Portal server I am able to see hostctrl folder and SAPHostControl service related to host agent, but there is no such service or folder in R/3 server.So do I need to install Host Agent separately for R/3 system.
One more Question do I need to have Host agent mandatory for Diagnostic agent installation(SMD)?
Thanks
Chander

Hello
In our R/3 system Kernel release is 720 ,and we doesn't have SAP host agent,But for Java with same kernel release we have SAP host agent.
If this is an ECC system upgraded from an old R/3 system then you might have ignored to install SAP Host Agent as I have seen the upgrade guides suggesting to install SAP Host Agent starting from EHP5.
When we installed Net Weaver 7.31 for java portal SAP Diagnostic agent installed automatically and with that SAP host agent also came.
Read my previous reply. All new installation bring in SAP Host Agent.
My main purpose to install Diagnostic agent for R/3 for E2E analysis ,so i want more clarity regarding SAP host and diagnostic agent.
R/3 is on Net Weaver 7.31( ECC 6.6), So which version of diagnostic and host agent need to be installed and are they installed separately .
Follow the SAP note I have given above. The latest version is SAP HOST AGENT 7.20
Here is the SAP note once again 1031096 - Installing Package SAPHOSTAGENT

Diagnostics Agent 711 - SAP Host Agent - Installation on a cluster environm

Dear all,
We have the following architecture in our productive environment :
1. Cluster 01 is composed of 2 nodes.
   On Cluster 01, only "Database" and "Central Services" are running
   for 5 productive SAP systems.
2. Cluster 02 is composed of 6 nodes.
   On Cluster 02, only "Central Instance" and "Application Server"
   are running for 5 productive SAP systems
As read in "Diagnostics Agents installation Strategy", rules #4, slide 12 :
===================================================================
- Do not install a Diagnostics Agent on host that only run Database
or SAP Central Services.
- Install a Agent on EACH host running a Central Instance (CI)
and / or a Dialog Instance
===================================================================
For our productive environment, we do have to install Diagnostics Agents 7.11 on cluster 02 where we have CI + AS running.
Questions :
1. How do we monitor "database" and "central services" data on cluster 01 (DB + CS) as far as no "Diagnostics Agents"
   are installed ?
2. Do we have to install the new "SAP HOST AGENT" in our cluster 01 ?
3. As written in "Downloading and Installing Package SAPHOSTAGENT"
   guide, "you only need to install the host agent host taht not have
   an SAP Component". Does it mean that the new "SAP HOST AGENT"
   will have to be installed on our cluster 01 to monitor "DB+CS" data ?
4. What are for SAP a host that not have SAP Component ... ?
    "Database" and "Central Service" running for a SAP system should be consider as SAP Component or not ... ?
5. What is the difference between the new "SAP HOST AGENT" delivered by SAP today 23.11.2009
    and the "Wily Host-Level Introscope Agent"
   delivered by CA ?
Best regards

Yes, it has to be installed.

How to find the Values of SAP Gateway Server Host and Gateway Service Valu

Hi All,
I installed SAPR/3 4.7 EE on Windows. For configuring SLD and LDAP i am unable to give the SAP Gateway Server Host and Gateway Service values.
Can any one plz suggest me how to find these values.
Regds
Phanikumar

Hello, SAP Gateway Server Host and Gateway Service are used to set up rfc connectivity, that is the host name and the system number where your sld and ldap is responding, if you have no sld and no ldap , just simply uncheck that options while installing.
Have a nice week end, Luciano.

SAPOSCOL does not start with SAP Host Agent processes

Dear all,
on one of our servers the SAPOSCOL process is not running. The latest SAP Host Agent is in place - automatic updating has been finished sucessfully but after the restart of the host agent processes SAPOSCOL returned the following entry in log dev_saphostexec:

Should I install Diagnostic Agent on managing system itself ?

Dear All,
I am using a solution manager as an managing system .
Should I install the Diagnostic Agent on the managing system , too ?
My solution manager is 7.01 EHP1 SPS22, I find there exist a directory /usr/sap/SMD , so it seems the Disgnostic Agent is installed during the solution manager installation . But in the Work Center -> Root Cause Analysis -> Agent Administration , it returns a "service cannot be reachable " error,
"URL https://<solution manager host >:8000/webdynpro/dispatcher/sap.com/tcsmdnavigation/StandaloneApp call was terminated because the corresponding service is not available.
And in the http://<solution manager host>:50000/smd , managed system -> setup wizard , I choose the solution manager SID , and next, it show the SMD agent hasn't been found.
I re-installed the SMD agent , but the result is the same, and I've tried to install the Diagnostic Agent 7.11 and still the same.
Anyone encounter the same problem as me ??
Thanks.

SAP hostagent and SAP netweaver nodes not visible in WIEM

Hi,
We are implementing SAP BusinessObjects performance monitoring through
RSC. RSC SP3
We have installed SMD Agent on BOE server which forms "Managed Agent".
We have utilising existing WIEM installed in SOlution Manager.
We have installed SMD Agent on client desktop whicn forms "Managing
Agent" since Solution Manager does not have connectivity to internet
even through proxy server.
We have run configuration UI for Managing Agent which completed
successfully.
The configuration setup of Managed Agent also completed successfully.
But, as informed in the installation guide the "SAP HostAgent" and "SAP
NetWeaver" processes & nodes are not created in WIEM.\ check configuration 6.3.3 in RSC SP3 guide/
We checked connectivity & port settings and we have no issues.
Kindly suggest
Regards,
Atul

Hi Atul,
I see where the problem is coming from by analyzing the debugging logs.
When you ran the RSCSetup.bat and you were prompted for the Wily Introscope Enterprise Manager connection details and you put in:
HOSTNAME: CPHSMAD1
PORT: 8081
This is incorrect. That port number is the HTTP port of Wily Introscope, not the WIEM port. You must use the WIEM port which by default is port 6001 (this port will be the same as when you log on to WIEM via the Wily Introscope Investigator client)
Please do the following to correct the problem:
1) On the managed host (CPWBOAD1) run the RSCSETUP.BAT again. Choose deactivate and allow the process to finish.
2) On the managed host, uninstall the SMDAgent (with SID PRD) by running sapinst again and choose "uninstall"
3) On the managed host reinstall the SMDAgent (RSC Diagnostic Agent) again.
4) Confirm the new SMDAgent (PRD) service is running. If it isnt, start it.
5) On the managed host, run the RSCSETUP.bat again and make sure to choose the correct "Wily Introscope Enterprise Manager" port and host name (for example, CPHSMAD1 and 6001)
6) Now on the managing host, run the RSC UI Configuration Wizard again. The SMDAgent should appear now.

Toby

Diagnostic Agents: Update

Hello!
We installed for some times a Diagnostic Agent on satellite system and connected them to Solution Manager (7.1 SP10).
Now we can see that almost every week a new version of Diagnostic Agent will be released on Service Marketplace.
Question:
Do we need to update each time Diagnoctic Agent to the newest version by deinstallation and new installation with SWPM?

Hi Alex L,
Please check the below note attachment for upgrade process,
1365123 - Installation of Diagnostics Agents
Rule #5:
No need to upgrade Diagnostics Agents (in contrast to SAP Host Agent)
if the DA is having recent version, normally not required to DA upgrade using re-installation for ever latest release

Can MOPZ be used without installing Diagnostic Agent.

Hi,
I need a clarification.
In Solution Manger 7.1 Version, can I use Maintenace Optimizer (MOPZ) to download SP's for a Managed System without prior installing Diagnostic Agent on the Managed System? If Yes, please write a brief procedure as below. (because my colleague was telling that one must install DA before using MOPZ).
In older Versions, to use MOPZ:
Send Managed System data with tcode RZ70 -------> The data will arrive in SLD of Solman -------> Assigning a Product and creating a Logical Component in SMSY -----> Assigning the Logical Component to a solution in DSWP --------> Now MOPZ can be used.
Thank you,
Mohan.

Hi Mohan,
Not required any agent for MOPZ setup.
Prerequisite:
*Initial, Basis and Managed system configuration setup( RFC creation, AISUSER assignment)
Open the MOPZ using 2 ways,
option 1. Using LMDB system landscape
option 2. In solman_workcenter -> Change Management -> New Maintenance Transcation ( for new MOPZ)
Prerequisite:
User ID is maintained in AISUSER
Configured Technical System in SMSY.
Follow the below documnet for MOPZ step.
http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-26893
Not required to create the solution as show in documnet , directly select the production version and start the MOPZ as show the document, remaining step are same.

How to install diagnostic agent for nw 7.0sp17, with solman ehp1- sp25

Hi Gurus,
we are using NW 7.0 Enterprise portal at SP17, want to configure E2E. So installed solution manager 7.0 EHP1 SPS 25.
Ran the Guided procedure solman_setup successfully. with intitial config, basic config and pending at managed system config.
Here my question is:
do i need to install smd agent on solman? or solman itself comes with agent. i cannot see any agent in mmc on solution manager.
What is SOLMANDIAG and SOLMAN AGENT, SMD Agent and Host agent.
The guide (https://websmp207.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700000952852009E) says before install SMD agent, install host agent, diagnostics agents are available 7.11 on wards, while installing smd agent sapinst asking SAP Unicode Kernel 711 , but currently my NW Portal system is using kernel 7.0..
Any guide, how to proceed for E2E on nw7.0 SP17 with solman ehp1 sp25( highest availale spack)
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Balaji

Hi Balaji,
As per the SMD agent 7.11 installation guide (https://service.sap.com/~sapidb/011000358700000952852009E) , Page 6 and 8, you would need to download the standard NW 7.11 DVDSs( usually kernel and Installation master) and SMD agent installation packages from the SMP. Location is mentioned in the guide as well.
For your query that Portal is based in i386, these are two different things. The SMD Agent will be installed with its own kernel and also 7.11 kernel is not support edon 32bit. However the SMD agent will use its own 7.11 64bit kernel and Portal will use its i386 kernel. Hopefully your hardware is able to support both. I recommend to proceed with x86_64 7.11 kernel for your SMD installation. Incase the hardwar does not support this, go for alower release of SMD Agent wherein the kernel supports 32 bit hardware.

Srikishan

SSO between SAP EP and JAVA app on WebSphere Application Server 5.1

Hi. I have 2 questions.
I am implementing SAP EP6 and need to display content from a WebSphere JAVA application inside the portal. The application is currently running on WAS 5.1.
1. Does anyone have any sample code or documentation regarding how to pass the SAP logon ticket to WebSphere JAVA application to accomplish SSO when inside the portal?
2. Does anyone have any sample code or documentation regarding how to pass the SAP logon ticket to WebSphere JAVA application to accomplish SSO when outside the SAP EP, but still within the same IE browser window where the SAP logon ticket exists?
Thanks for any feedback you could provide.

Hello Kevin,
please look here: https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/nw/ibm/how to set up sso between sap enterprise portal and ibm websphere portal using tai.pdf
Regarding your second questions: as long as you did not log off from SAP EP your browser hosts the SAP Logon Ticket cookie (within its timeframe of validity which is typically a couple of hours). So if you access a non SAP application that accepts SAP logon ticket with your browser, you're authenticated.
Please note that the cookie based authentication only works withing the same DNS domain. So if your SAP EP is configured to issues the SAP logon ticket to "company.com" then your browser sends it only to servers in that domain.

Michael

Report for outstanding workflows and the agents responsible

I need a report that shows all leave request workflows , with userid who created them and approver (agent), and approver's org unit and personnel number.
is there a standard SAP report that can show that? or I need to develop one?
I was looking at the SWI2_FREQ, this report shows the leave request workflows and userid who created them, but it does not report on the agent.
Regards,
Tiberiu

Hi
I think by making use of SAP_WAPI_WORKITEMS_TO_OBJECTS you can get all the workitems who created the leave wokritems.

VMM 2012 R2: error 410 / 0x80070001 when adding a new Hyper-V host. VMM Agent won't install automatically (status 1603)

I have several Windows Server 2012 R2 hosts. The OS is freshly installed, no roles/3d party software besides Hyper-V role). I also have a freshly installed VMM 2012 R2 server. They all are in the same AD domain. I want to manage those Hyper-V hosts
with this VMM instance, but I have troubles connecting those hosts to VMM.
Whenever I try to add a Hyper-V host in the VMM console, the process is stopped almost immediately after it starts. The failing step is "1.2 Install Virtual Machine Manager Agent". The final error message is as follows:
Error (410)
Agent installation failed on XXX.
Incorrect function (0x80070001)
Recommended Action
Try the operation again. If the problem persists, install the agent locally and then add the managed computer.
If I try to install the agent manually copied from the VMM host (C:\Program Files\Microsoft System Center 2012 R2\Virtual Machine Manager\agents\amd64\3.2.7634.0
as of now) by just clicking on its MSI file in Windows Explorer (and agreeing to the Windows prompt to run it with elevated privileges), the installation fails as well with "Installation success or error status: 1603." in the
server Application log.
The only way I found to install the agent is to run the installation from command prompt with elevated privileges. In this case the installation finishes successfully, and I can add the host to VMM by marking the "Reassociate the host" checkbox
in the VMM wizard.
Why is it so? Isn't the agent supposed to install without manual intervention? As I recall, I had no such problem with previous versions of Windows Server and VMM.

I brought up the share because it is off by default with Hyper-V Server as well as a Core installation. Regardless of the Firewall policy involved.
Maybe, but I don't work with pure Hyper-V and Core servers. I have a full-fledged Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter.
You're correct that File Server role is not enabled by default, this is my mistake. I open SMB-IN port manually (with the help of a group policy), and Windows considers it to be am equivalent of the enabled File Server role. Nonetheless, ADMIN$ share is
always accessible in my environment (and without it, for example, I wouldn't be able to remotely install things like SCOM Agent which installs without a glitch). Just in case I manually installed the File Server role, and it didn't help.
What you say about multihomed servers is interesting. The servers in question do have multiple network interfaces, but at the time I tried to install the VMM Agent only one of them (a designated host management / network access interface) had a real IP address.
Two other interfaces were non-configured (I apply a virtual switch configuration after the VMM Agent is installed). Just in case I disabled them when tried to install the VMM Agent remotely on the last host, and the installation still failed immediately
after start. Anyways, after the VMM Agent is installed manually the host can be normally re-associated with VMM, so it's doubtful that I have a network issue.
And, of course, there is no 3d-party software on the hosts (no antiviruses/firewalls in particular) except the EMC Unisphere Host Agent (a piece of software necessary for connecting a host to an EMC storage system) and networking drivers. Actually,
this is a pure Microsoft environment.
So I still believe that is has something to do with the Windows Installer inability to configure Windows Firewall policy after being invoked from Windows Explorer with a double-click on a MSI file. But I don't know how to strictly confirm it.

SAP client and other software on a Virtual Machine

I'm the campus coordinator for a university that is a member of the University Alliances program. This gives us the ability to put the R/3 client and other software on lab machines and also distribute it to students.
Given that we deploy in a shared lab environment on a university campus we often don't have absolute control over things like browser versions, plugins available, security settings, Java version available, and so on. We also only have the ability to do updates, installations, etc. at fixed times of the year.
As a solution for this, we're contemplating creating a virtual machine to be able to control the environment more and also allow the student greater control and customization. At this point we'd be looking at developing a Windows VM, either Vista or XP, that would have the R/3 client, IE with all the correct plugins for running Visual Composer, NetWeaver Developer Studio, and other programs such as Solution Composer. The idea would be that if we need to add a new software resource, change a version, tweak the environment, etc. we could just update and redistribute this virtual machine.
Has anyone here attempted this type of deployment? As we are just beginning, any helpful hints or advice would be appreciated.

I appreciate your willingness to think through this with me and share your expertise.

My assumption was that if we had multiple windows instances out there all with the same key (assuming non-volume key) that the piracy protection built into the OS might in some way cause problems.

I'm not sure how challenging that in fact might be. A quick Google search turned up lots of sites that at least claim to have Windows volume keys and necessary install media. I know that college students can be very adept at things in that domain.
> The biggest problem you might face is the UUID of the client instances - they will be identical. If you plan to use Active Directory functionality (for e. g. Single Sign On) then you need to make sure each VM is different (speaking of running sysprep) and that you have a different user on each VM - which will be not easy to mantain.
If I'm understanding your thought correctly, the UUID issue is why I thought attempting 1 shared OS license key for all VMs would be problematic. My assumption is that having a unique OS key on each VM would solve this problem.
As far Active Directory goes, that likely won't be an issue. Our students have storage on the campus network, but we have no plans for the VM to access that. All our SAP resources are hosted remotely at a UCC. I envision the students being able to 'boot' their VM, connect to the UCC using the client software, do their SAP work, and be done. The only storage they'd have in the VM would be a drive in the VM. While this might not work in many deployments, given our use of this just for lab instruction, I think it would work well.
> Another point to consider is: How to update? If you update your main image (e. g. necessary SAPGUI patches) - how will you distribute that to the USB-VMs - or how will you make sure the students use the latest copy?
This is where our situation and a corporate situation likely differs. Since we are hosted by a UCC that caters just to the academic environment things tend to be build and frozen during the summer and then not changed until the next year. Our classes run each semester independently. Although we may have to roll out a different VM from one semester to the next, a mid-semester change shouldn't be needed. However, having said that, if we do need to install a patch, that should be much easier. In a lab shared environment updating a software version requires a lot of coordination. In this VM situation, each students has full administrator privilege over their VM. If they need to install a patch, they can do so. If they mess this up, they haven't disrupted anyone else. In that instance they could just download the base VM again as a 'reset.'
> In such an environment I'd more think about setting up a terminal server (using Windows 2003) and install all necessary software there. With that you only need to update at one place, you can granularily give permissions to the users and supporting users in case of a proble is easier (mirroring the session) than having single instances with all the same hostname of the client. And all students only need an RDP client which comes with the Windows XP or Vista by default.
That is something we haven't considered with this project, and I'll have to check with our system manager. Resources might be an issue here. We have an abundance of PCs, so each of them running their own VM isn't an issue. I'm not sure if we have a server capable of supporting 30-40 simultaneous remote connections that is not otherwise in use.
Thanks for your ideas here Markus. Any other thoughts, ideas, etc. are most welcome. I'll also update this thread as I start experimenting with this over the next couple of weeks.
