There is no "message inbox" in satellite systems, but you can use the SAP Solution Manager to have a central access to all reported messages.
Configure Work Center "Incident Management" in SAP Solution Manager and grant access for message reporters.

Prblem Service Desk configuration in Solution Manager 4.0

Hi All,
Here I have done the configuration of Service Desk in Solution Manager 4.0 by using the document which I have for release 3.2. However I have face some problem in Step Initially create and Assign the Satellite Systems as iBase C and Manually create and Assign the Satellite Systems as iBase Co .So I exclude above mention step. But still I am able to create the support message from Satellite Systems.
So can please let me know whether it will work fine in upcoming time or Do I need to test my Service Desk configuration for same.
Moreover please let me know how to test Service Desk configuration for real time environment.
Following are the step and problem which I face while doing the Service desk configuration.
STEP 1 #Initially Create and Assign the Satellite Systems as iBase C
To be able to use the Service Desk and Change Request scenarios in SAP Solution Manager, you need to define the Installed Base (iBase). An iBase component has to be created for each satellite system from which Service Desk messages will be sent to the SAP Solution Manager system.
The iBase components for the iBase structure SOL_MAN_DATA_REP (installation 1) can be created and assigned either automatically or manually. Note that these components and the assignments can only be created once automatically for every solution. To refresh your existing iBase data execute IMG activity Manually Create and Assign the Satellite Systems as iBase Components.
Requirements:-
You have defined your system landscape in the Solution Manager System Landscapes(transaction SMSY).
Activities:-
1. In transaction SOLUTION_MANAGER, open a solution.
2. Choose Operations -> Service Desk.
3. Choose Edit -> Initial Data Transfer for iBase.
The data is copied automatically. The iBase systems for the solution are automatically assigned to SOL_MAN_DATA_REP (installation "1"). An iBase component is created for each system installation number (which can be displayed by choosing System -> Status).
For each solution repeat these steps.
Problem in STEP1 :- I am not able to check the System  Status.
STEP 2 #Manually Create and Assign the Satellite Systems as iBase Co
In this IMG activity, you define the Installed Base (iBase) manually, i.e. for refreshing existing iBases after solutions have been changed.
An iBase component has to be created for each satellite system from which Service Desk messages will be sent to the SAP Solution Manager system.
Activities:-
1. In transaction Change Installed Base (IB52), use the input help (F4) to find the Installed Base with external ID SOL_MAN_DATA_REP.
2. Continue as follows:
 If SOL_MAN_DATA_REP does not exist:
a) Call transaction Create Installed Base (IB51).
b) Choose iBase Category 01 (Installed Base).
c) Choose Enter.
d) Specify the iBase header data in the iBase section.
e) Specify the external ID SOL_MAN_DATA_REP and enter a short description.
 If SOL_MAN_DATA_REP exists:
a) Choose iBase No. 1 (SOL_MAN_DATA_REP).
b) Choose the SAP WEB AS component.
3. To assign the systems as iBase components, go to the Text item tab.
Three components are included in the standard package.
4. Add all the satellite systems as text items to the table:
o Column Short text: Description of the system
o Column Identification: System ID, space, installation number
5. Save.
After changes have been made to a solution, repeat these steps to update system landscape data for iBase.
Note:-
Every system is only listed once in the iBases. That means a system is not listed in an iBase if it has been listed in another iBase before.
Problem in STEP2:- Here I am not able to find Text item tab as per point 3 .
STEP 3 # Assign Business Partners to iBase Components
You need to assign business partners to the new iBase components.
Activities:-
1. In transaction Change iBase (IB52), choose Goto -> Partner
2. Assign business partners with the following functions to the new iBase component systems:
o Administrator
o Key User
o Sold-to Party
3. Save.
4. Repeat these steps for each iBase component.
Problem in step3 :- In IB52 t-code screen there no any menu path like goto  partner
Thanks a lot,
Harshal

Hi Harshall,
You have to enter the value as 1 in Installed base field and then press enter.
You will be taken inside and then you will be able to see the Goto - Partner screen.
Hope this will help.
Please reward points suitably.
Regards,
Naresh.

I have configured Service desk in our Solution manager .
Solution manager version is 7.0 , on windows 2003 & oracle 10.2.0.2.0.
I am able create messages in our satilite systems . And sending to solution manager also.
Here issue is , when I click on send button in created message box , then our satilite system will asking password of basis user , which is present in solution manager. If I entered that password then It shows successfully send message with number.
I want's to skip the screen , where it's asking the basis user ,password.
So please give me solution , If you come across this problem.
Thanks in advance,
R.k sindol

Hello Raj,
see SAP Note [153743|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/153743] chapter "In the R/3 system of the notifier (customer data entry systems).". Changing that RFC destination should be the solution for your case.

Configure Service Desk in SAP Solution Manager

Hi guys,
I'm currently trying to configure SAP Service desk to our custumers but i really dont know how much steps i must take to do that.
Im currently have users from satellite systems generated by tcode BP_GEN in Business Partners.
But, how it really goes?
When i using the following site:
http://ip:8000/sap/bc/webdynpro/sap/ags_workcenter?sap-client=001&sap-language=EN
which data i must provide to logon on workcenter!
How can i assign systems from one customer to the user that represents it to, when he logs to the workcenter, he can see the respective system information that belong to him.
I know that i must provide diferent roles for the administrator and the users that represent the customer!
Can anyone give any ideas or a point of direction?
Regards,
Filipe

Hi
Based upon the BP identification system entries maitained for respective users
they/Reporter can see only those systems in the list
Rest is same for all users they have to logon with userid pwd of solman in the URL
and automatically based upon the roles you have assigned to them in su01 they can see the reporter or processor interface of service desk

Service Desk Customizing in Solution Manager 4.0 SPS12

Hello,
I try to customize the service desk in solution manager SPS 12.
I follow the IMG :
1. General Settings of solution Manager (Profiles...) => OK
2. Connection to SAP => OK
3. System Landscape and Solution
    Only One system my solution Manager. => OK
4. Service Desk BC Sets => OK
5. Business Partner :
    I have created two key users (KEY_USER1 & KEY_USER2) as BPs (101 & 106)
    I have created One System Admin (ADMIN) as BPs (105)
    I have created two Message Processors (PROC1 & PROC2) as BPs (102 & 103)
    I have created one Org. as BPs 104.
=> OK
6. iBase
   I have initially created the iBase from my solution => OK
   I try to assign the partner to the iBase component => First Problem : the system do not propose the System Admin & key user function when I go to Goto->Partner. Do I miss something ?
7. Org Model
I try to create my Org. model as follow :
Service Desk (O)
         Team 1 (O)
             Processor1 (S)
                 SDUser1 (BP)
                     PROC1 (U)
         Team 2 (O)
             Processor2 (S)
                SDUser2 (BP)
                     PROC2(U)
=> Second problem : it is said in the documentation and in some blogs on the sdn, that when we create the root org, and the subsequent org, the system will create and assign automatically the BPs. That doesn't work in my system. I do not understand why. So I have assigned directly the position conatining the Users Proc1 & Proc2 as BPs.
8. Partner Determination
    Then I would like to assign automatically messages created by KEY_USER1 to PROC1 and messages created by KEY_USER2 to PROC2 depending on the user group they belong (or depending on the relationship they have with the messages processors).
    => Third Problem : I don't how to do it ! and i don't know what to do with the partner function Support Team.
Could someone help me.
Thanks in advance.
Guillaume Bruyneel.

hello,
I found some interesting information concerning the automatic creation of BP from the Org. Model :
I have activated the HR integration through :
IMG->CRM->Master Data->Business Partner->Integration Business Partner-Organisation Management.
And NOW the automatic creation of the BP is working !
I'm still trying to solve the two other problems.
Guillaume.

Service Desk Configuration (Raising message from R3 system)

Hi,
I want to configure my R3 system, so that when I create a support Message it is reflected in Solution Manager.
I have done the following steps, in R3 system
1) Use transaction SM30 and modify BCOS_CUST table.
Entries in this table are
Col 1: OSS_MSG
Col 2: W
Col 3: SOLUTION_MANAGER (Not sure, what is the right entry for this column)
Col 4: CUST620
Col 5: 1.0
I am confused over the entry for Col 3:
In some postings I have seen that the value is SM_<sysid>CLNT<client>_TRUSTED, so assuming my Solution Manager SID is SL3 and Client is 100, the value for Col3 must be
SM_SL3_CLNT100_TRUSTED
Is the above assumption right?
2) Is it necessary to make entries for RFC destination in my R3 system using transaction SM59.
Also while creating the RFC Connection using transaction SM59 in the R3 system, it asks about the type of connection.
Which type of the connection, should be chosed.
Type :: Short text
I :: Connection to application server with same database
3 :: Connection to R/3 System
2 :: Connection to R/2 System
T :: Start an external program via TCP/IP
L :: Reference entry (refers to another destination)
S :: Start an external program via SNA or APPC
X :: RFC via special ABAP/4 driver routines
M :: CMC connection
H :: HTTP Connection to R/3 System
G :: HTTP Connection to External Server
Hope you can help..
Regards,
Vikas

Hi,
The third one is RFC destination which is a way of linking two systems providing there ip and login credentials.
When you create RFC in sm59 tcode you have to provide ip address and login credentials and a name,This name you have to provide in se11 bcos_cust table third field.
You have to create an R/3 or abap connection.check this for creating rfc connection.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/26/64f62cfa8911d386e70000e82011b8/content.htm
Check the following .
/people/federico.babelis2/blog/2006/04/14/service-desk-configuration-guide-for-dummies
in short first of all go to tcode sm59 create a r/3 connection to your server and provide a name to it.
secondly go to bcos_cust table and provide this name in the third field.
Please reward points if it helps.

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.

Documentation for Solution Manager 4

Hi all!
Iam going crasy..
At the moment I am just customizing the solution manager 4. In the reference guide section create background jobs they refer to the configuration guide of the solution manager 4. 0 to get a complete list of background jobs for the solution manager 4.0.
Ive downloaded the configuration guide for solution manager 4.0 but there is no information about this. I know the place of documentation on the sap market \solutionmanager.
Did anybody know something more?
Thank you for help!
Best regards
Thomas

Hello Thomas,
Please in spro go to Basic Settings->SAP Solution Manager System->Schedule Background Jobs
The information of this point is more than enough to configure these jobs.
In a previous Configuration Guide you can see:
Periodic Jobs
Periodic Job scenario
REFRESH MESSAGE STATUS used to collect responses from SAP for messages
and Issues sent from the SAP Solution Manager
SOLMAN_ISSUE_STATUS_REFRESH Service Desk
SM:SCHEDULER Solution Monitoring
BTC_CMS_COLLECTOR Change Manager

Web service available in SAP Solution Manager

Hi,
Which are the Webservices available in SAP Solution Manager.
I want to Integrate HP Openview change request process with SAP Solution Manager ChaRM.
Regards
PK
Edited by: PK on Aug 9, 2010 3:37 PM

Although the path vary between release - webservices for Solution Manager are usually available in transaction SICF
under the following path
/default_host/sap/bc/solman
/default_host/sap/bc/bsp/sap/solutionmanager
However I am not aware of an webservice/interface from CHARM to 3rd party service desk products
What is provided as of Solman 7 is an interface between SAP Service Desk and other 3rd party service desk products
- so if you setup Solution Manager Service Desk you can have a business process from
Openview ---> SAP Service Desk ---> SAP Charm
Best wishes

SAP EHP1 for Solution Manager 7.0 - Post Install Procedure

Hello Folks:
I completed Sol Manager 7.0 EHP1 installation on Win 2008 R2 with MS SQL in a sandbox environment. This is the first time I ever installed SAP on my own and i am in the process of performing post installation steps from Installation Guide.
In the install guide, there is no mention of creating a new client ex: 100. Could you please, provide a list of tasks that generally needed to perform after the installation is completed and before doing any configuration in Solution manager.
I have some very basic idea on the Basis but while going thru Installation Guide I am not sure if there any steps that generally need to perform to complete the installation. My goal is to complete the Sol Mgr installation first and then start preparing for ECC 6.0 Installation.
Thanks a lot in Advance.

Hi,
First - the basic post installation steps are:
1. sick t-code need to execute
2. se06 --> Perform Post-Installation Actions
3. RZ10 --> Utilities --> Import profiles --> Of active servers
4. execute sgen T-code --> This will take some time
5. setup STMS
6. create client (If custom required)
7. Take backup of the system
For the solution manager client you could use the default created '001' client.
Next you need to run the solman_setup template which 'sets up' the SolMan for usage.
Follow config guide at: https://service.sap.com/~sapidb/011000358700000308502009E.PDF
For installing the ECC system, only a install key(from SMSY) is to be generated from SolMan. But if you want to use the SolMan effectively, suggest you to run the entire solman_setup.

Srikishan
