SMD Agent for ABAP Only Systems

Everything I have read states that the SMD Agent is only for JAVA Stack.  Then I read a post here stating to install the SMD on the ABAP systems.  Can anyone clear this up?  I have a mix of Java only, Abap only and dual stack systems.  Can anyone help clear this issue up for me?

Hello Donna,
SMD Agent can be installed on Java Stack, Java-ABAP Stack and ABAP Stack.  It is not there only for Java as it can be used with ABAP and Dual stack also.  Hope this answers the question that you have brought up.
Thanks,
Mark

  • Why SMD agent on ABAP only?

    OK.  I don't get it.  Why install SMD Agent on ABAP only systems???
    Isn't SMD Agent used primarily for Java???
    I have 37 systems of which only 8 have a java component.  If I install SMD Agent everywhere I'll
    need a much bigger SolMan server!!!
    What is SAP policy on SolMan 7 Enh 1 OS/DB migration???

    About the migration, you can migrate without problems. You'll need study the following process "Heterogeneous system copy".
    There's a component that checks just this kind of problems related with migration. BC-INS-MIG.
    Check the documentation below.

  • SMD Agents on ABAP only stacks

    Hi
    Is is possible to install the SMD Agent on ABAP only satellite systems.
    Or does it require a J2EE instance.
    What would that gain?
    Thanks for your Help

    Hi,
    Yes you can and you must do it for E2E Root Cause Analysis. It does not need J2EE but as it is Java based you need to install JDK.

    Hi
    I am sure, it is logically incorrect, how you deploy byte code agent in abap only instance
    Introscope Bytecode Agent runs on managed systems based on J2EE engines to report data to the Introscope Enterprise Manager, so it has to be setup only for Java Stacks.
    Please check with the wily config guide again.
    I am watching this thread for further view from others.

  • Error when registering CCMS agent SAPCCMSR on ECC 6.0 ABAP only system

    I need to start the agent sapccmsr on SAP ECC 6.0 system to monitor ABAP proxies for separate MDM system. 
    I already have the sapccm4x agent running.
    When I try to register using:
    CALL PGM(<kernel_lib>/sapccmSr)  PARM('-r' '-f' '/usr/sap/<sid>/<inst>/log/sapccmsr/csmconf' 'pf=/usr/sap/<sid>/SYS/profile/<inst_host>')         
    I get the error message:
    ERROR: cannot open Config
    File /usr/sap/D12/DVEBMGS12/log/sapccmsr/csmconf fo
    r registration 
    I cannot see any issue with authorizations. I have modified the csmconf file with the appropriate passwords. The sapccmsr.install.logs are empty.
    Has anyone run into this issue? Can I start the agent on an ABAP only system?  If so has anyone done this successfully & have the cmd to do so?
    There is probably a very simple solution to this but I just have not been able to find it!
    Any information would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello Nish,
    Have you done SGEN already?
    Anyways first try this out Check through SE11 if the  tables exist in the new client. For example check for A001. If it shows up there try to activate the table and see if you get any errors. Let us know the results.

  • SMD agent for VMW-based SAP systems

    SAP talents:
    We have hard time to configure SMD agents for VMW-based SAP systems.
    We have followed some SAP documents for non-VMW-based SAP systems, but seems that SMD agent cannot
    differentiate the individual system on VMW.
    Our SMD agent has no problem for non-VMW-based systems.
    Thanks!

    Sorry to reply late because we have attempted a lot of  fixes but all failed
    For example, we have QAX, QAY and QAZ on VMW. 
    On Wily Introscope:
    1)  QAZ simply does not show up even we deployed/configured the agents as the procedure specified;
    2) under the node QAX, we see QAY's entry as a sub-entry.
    Does each SAP system need an agent OR only one agent is enough?  We have tried both ways  but
    seems not working properly either way.
    Please help, thanks a lot!

  • Reducing time required for ABAP-only copyback (system copy) process

    Our company is investigating how to reduce the amount of time it takes to perform a copyback (system copy) from a production ABAP system to a QA system.  We use a similar process for all ABAP-only systems in our landscape, ranging from 3.1h systems to ECC6.0 ABAP-only systems on both DB2 and Oracle database platforms, and the process takes approximately two weeks of effort from end-to-end (this includes time required to resolve any issues encountered). 
    Here is an overview of the process we use:
    u2022     Create and release backup transports of key system tables and IDu2019s (via client copy) in the QA system to be overwritten (including RFC-related tables, partner profile and IDOC setup-related tables,  scheduled background jobs, archiving configuration, etc.).
    u2022     Reconfigure the landscape transport route to remove QA system from transport landscape.
    u2022                    Create a virtual import queue attached to the development system to capture all transports released from development during the QA downtime.
    u2022     Take a backup of the target production database.
    u2022     Overwrite the QA destination database with the production copy.
    u2022     Localize the database (performed by DBAu2019s).
    u2022     Overview of Basis tasks (for smaller systems, this process can be completed in one or two days, but for larger systems, this process takes closer to 5 days because of the BDLS runtime and the time it takes to import larger transport requests and the user ID client copy transports):
    o     Import the SAP license.
    o     Execute SICK to check the system.
    o     Execute BDLS to localize the system.
    o     Clear out performance statistics and scheduled background jobs.
    o     Import the backup transports.
    o     Import the QA client copy of user IDu2019s.
    o     Import/reschedule background jobs.
    o     Perform any system-specific localization (example: for a CRM system with TREX, delete the old indexes).
    u2022     Restore the previous transport route to include the QA system back into the landscape.
    u2022     Import all transports released from the development system during the QA system downtime.
    Our companyu2019s procedure is similar to the procedure demonstrated in this 2010 TechEd session:
    http://www.sapteched.com/10/usa/edu_sessions/session.htm?id=825
    Does anyone have experience with a more efficient process that minimizes the downtime of the QA system?
    Also, has anyone had a positive experience with the system copy automation tools offered by various companies (e.g., UC4, Tidal)?
    Thank you,
    Matt

    Hi,
    > One system that immediately comes to mind has a database size of 2TB.  While we have reduced the copyback time for this system by running multiple BDLS sessions in parallel, that process still takes a long time to complete.  Also, for the same system, importing the client copy transports of user ID's takes about 8 hours (one full workday) to complete.
    >
    For BDLS run, I agree with Olivier.
    > The 2 weeks time also factors in time to resolve any issues that are encountered, such as issues with the database restore/localization process or issues resulting from human error.  An example of human error could be forgetting to request temporary ID's to be created in the production system for use in the QA system after it has been initially restored (our standard production Basis role does not contain all authorizations required for the QA localization effort).
    >
    For the issues that you encounter because of system copy, you can minimize this time period as you would be doing it on periodic basis (making some task list) and you can make a note of issues that you faced in previous run. So, normally i don't count it as system copy time

  • How do I populate 0CCMSATPH for ABAP only instance

    Hi All,
    I have inherited a SAP Solution Manager installation and I am trying to configure the system correctly.
    In an Early watch report for one of our ABAP only systems (ERP6) it states
    Reading performance data from BW returned neither data nor an error code. A timeout may have occurred.
    Infocube: 0CCMSMTPH used in section 'Workload Overview <SID>'.
    So I determined that this related to End to End Analysis and configured SOLMAN accordingly and am now getting data for SOLMAN itself in this cube but nothing else.  I also determined that the Extractor WA (STATISTICAL RECORDS SECONDARY EXTRACTOR-0CCMSATPH) from Extractor FWK Administration is responsible for this data.
    So my question is this, where does this extractor come from as I don't appear to have this extractor for the ABAP system it's complaining about?
    SMS uses SMDAgent but that's because it's a dual stack system but for an ABAP only system surely this isn't required, if this is where the extractor comes from?
    Also a related issue, in the log for this extractor for SOLMAN it has the following message "DL: Warning: Component not found in Target Structure:0INFOPROV".  What is this and should I be concerned?
    Thanks

    Does this topology/configuration make sense? Yes.
    To set up "agent only" instance:
    1] Install MDEX,
    2] Install PlatformServices (answer N for running EAC),
    3] On Central server update AppConfig.xml (add definition for new dgraph),
    4] On Central server "runcommand.sh --update-definition"
    5] Install Deployment Template by running deploy.sh (answer N for integrate with Workbench),
    6] Start ECA, which starts dgraph - $ENDECA_ROOT/tools/server/bin/startup.sh (Make sure you don't have eca.xml in $ENDECA_CONF/conf/Standalone/localhost)
    7] On Central server "initialize_services.sh",
    8] On Central server "runcommand.sh DistributeIndexAndApply"
    Is the agent only server suppose to also have Workbench and/or our application (configuraitons)?No and no.
    How does the Control server know there is another instance which is running with just an EAC agent?The AppConfig.xml on the Central server instance needs to be updated. Don't use the Workbench EAC admin console to do this. Only use that interface for stop/start and monitoring. Any permanent config changes you should make to AppConfig.xml by hand.
    How is the dgraph process on the agent only instance started?$ENDECA_ROOT/tools/server/bin/startup.sh
    How do I "turn on" an EAC agent only instance/server?

  • Cannot download CCMAGENT.SAR to install the SAPCCM4X ccms agent for ABAP

    I realize that my CCMS (RZ20) was empty (of data) because there was no agent filling it.
    Following the documentation from sap, I have to download and register the SAPCCM4X ccms agent for ABAP (I have a SAP Netweaver 7.0 (2004s) ABAP Trial Version) but it has been impossible. I don't understand what is the error with my Download Manager.
    Can somebody send me these files?
    ccmagent_18-20000961.sar
    CCMAGENT.SAR
    I found it under:
    Support Packages and Patches>Entry by Application Group>SAP NetWeaver>SAP NETWEAVER>SAP NETWEAVER 7.0>Entry by Component>Application Server ABAP>SAP KERNEL 7.00 32/64-BIT>Windows-->Database Independent.
    Or Am I completely wrong in everything?
    Regards,
    Herman.

    Hello Herman,
    Graham is right. You don't need an agent, the system should be provide monitoring data at once.
    But in your case
    > (I have a SAP Netweaver 7.0 (2004s) ABAP Trial Version)
    the reason will most probably the deactivated monitoring infrastructure. AFAIK the parameter rdisp/autoabaptime is set to 0 in the Trial Version. Simply delete it from the instance profile so the default value 300 will be activated. Same for the parameter alert/MONI_SEGM_SIZE. If the parameter is set to 0, delete it. After restarting the system you should see values in rz20.

  • SLD Application Programming Interface for ABAP-Based Systems

    Hi Experts,
    Could you help me to configure the connection between SLD ABAP API and the SLD manually?
    Why we use SLD Application Programming Interface for ABAP-based systems (SLD ABAP API)?
    please help.
    Sushama

    You have to use transaction SLDAPICUST in the business system to define the SLD access data. This data consists of the host and port of the SLD as well as a user and password (PIAPPLUSER, for example). You can use the entries that you maintained on your Integration Server.
    The RFC destinations LCRSAPRFC and SAPSLDAPI are used for the SLD connection. They use the SLD access data maintained with transaction SLDAPICUST. The RFC destination LCRSAPRFC is used to read the exchange profile; SAPSLDAPI is used by the ABAP API.
    The RFC destinations are also used to retrieve the information about where to retrieve the information about where to find the Integration Builder required for the proxy generation. This information is located in the exchange profile.
    You have to create both RFC destinations in your business system. They use the same registered server program, which is defined as part of the RFC engine settings of the J2EE Engine on the Integration Server host. This means that all business systems can use the same server program for their RFC destinations LCRSAPRFC and SAPSLDAPI. This program ID is:
    &#9679;      SAPSLDAPI_UNICODE for Unicode business systems
    &#9679;      SAPSLDAPI_NONUNICODE

  • SMD Agents for Dialog Instances and Distributed Systems

    Hi,
    We are planning to install SMD agents in our landscape.
    Is it sufficient if we install SMD agent on the central instance Host to monitor all the instances ( CI + Dialog Instances)
                                       or
    Do we need to install SMD agents individually for all the Instances each for CI and Dialog Instances.
    Also , If we have CI and DB on a separate host (Distributed Environment),  Do we need to install SMD Agent on DB host also.
    Thanks,

  • Standalone SMD Agent for EEM won't connect to SLD

    I have installed a standalone SMD agent, which was configured properly (logs verify this) and starts up successfully, but I don't ever see it register in the SLD. Does anyone know of a guide which tells how to manage a standalone SMD agent? I want to get it connected to the SLD in Solution Manager so that I can use it as an EEM robot, but the connectivity so far is not working.
    For instance, if there is a way to get something like SM59 in an ABAP system on my SMD agent to change and test connectivity parameters, this may help.
    Cheers,
    David.

    OK, thanks for the reference to the troubleshooting guide, I had not seen that before. Using it, I found the following procedure:
    How to check if the Diagnostics agent is registered in SLD?
    ␣ Go in SLD with the url: http://sldhostname:port/sld
    ␣ Logon with a J2EE user having the role SAP_SLD_ADMINISTRATOR
    ␣ Go in the section u2018Administrationu2019
    ␣ Click on link u2018Content Maintenanceu2019
    ␣ Select the subset u2018All with Instances and class u2018Diagnostics Agent Instanceu2019
    If the class u2018Diagnostics Agent Instanceu2019 does not appear in drop down list, No Diagnostics agent is registered
    ␣ In column Name of table, check if the Diagnostics agent is present.
    This procedure verified that my diagnostics agent is in fact in contact with the SLD, but for some reason, the agent does not show up in the SLD when I go to Home > Technical Systems, nor does it show up when I go to the EEM Administration screen > Robots > Check Agents.
    So I'll have to keep researching.
    Cheers,

  • System copy for ABAP+JAVA system using SAPINST method

    Dear support,
    We have recently upgraded to ECC 6.0 system and we have been still doing system copy by using backup and restore method. I know its<b> wrong</b>.
    which involves below steps , this old methos works fine for ABAP engine and evreything looks ok.But java engine will not work.
    So we need to use SAPINST method as described in note 785848 and system copy guide available on OSS. But i am really not able to understand sequence
    for tasks to be carried out in this SAPINST method.
    <b>Can anybody list few sequence along with step by step procedure as i mentioned below for old system copy procedure.</b>
    Is it really difficult to make that for <b>SAPINST</b>  as everybody says refer to standard guide and note ?
    Anybody if possible can make the same way as i did below , i think it would rather be small as far as my understanding after reading those docs.
    Simple old system copy procedure works for ABAP is as:
    Run the following command on source system.
    a. Login as <sid>adm
    b. svrmgrl
    c. connect internal
    d. alter database backup controlfile to trace;
    e. exit;
    f. Above command will generate a .trc file in /oracle/P01/saptrance/usertrace directory.
    g. Copy the text from CREATE CONTROLFILE until the ( and paste it in to any new .sql or controlfile.sql file.
    h. Copy the controlfile.sql to target system.
    i. Edit the file and replace the entire source SID to target SID.
    j. Edit the reuse database command with the set database command
    Copy the aft generated during the backup file from the source system to target system. (/oracle/<SID>/sapbackup)
    a. Change all the source <SID> to target <SID>.
    b. Only don't change the backup volume name it must be target system <SID>.
    c. Copy the above aft file name line from the source back<SID>.log to target<SID>.log file.
    5. Shutdown the target server instance.
    6. From this onwards all the command on the target system only.
    a. Login as <SID>adm
    b. run the SAPDBA
    c. select J (Restore/Recovery)
    d. select B (Full restore and recovery)
    e. select A (Select backup of type)
    f. Select the offline backup which you want to restore.
    g. It will take some time to restore.
    h. Once the database is restored login as <SID>adm and run the
    i. svrmgrl
    j. connect internal;
    k. startup nomount (if the database is already mounted shutdown it using the shutdown command)
    l. run the following command
    m. @controlfile.sql (file name of the control file contains the CREATE CONTROLFILE statement)
    n. After the run the above command it should give the "Statement Processed)
    o. alter database open resetlogs.
    I am really looking forward to see anybody take some time out to prepare this kind of step by step procedure.
    It would be of greate help for all of us for performing system copy with sapinst method.
    Looking forward for your support.
    Best Regards,

    Hi,
    As per the guide you need to do source system Technical Preparations, in that running the export preparation is also one. You need to run this first before you start the export, if and only if export will successful if preparation is successful.
    Yes you need to create the export directory to take the export copy of source system, it may be any where in your server. It should be having 6 to 8 GB free space.No need to create the export directory in target system, after export is completed in the source system you copy the export directory to the target system.
    <b>Target system</b>
    Yes you need to take the back up file system and delete all the contents of the directory.
    Yes it can be considered as fresh system installation but copy of source system.
    Yes the process follows after you giving the export directory path .
    Next screen you will get the database drop and recreate screen chouse the drop and recreate method
    Next J2EE user name and password
    Next DDIC password
    Next you have to give kernel and oracle client dvd path
    Next Parameter checking screen here if you are selected database drop and recreate you have to revise the oracle database system option
    If you are selecting review next screen is database advance option you have to select the advanced option
    Next you have to select following option to recreate
    1 Sapdata directory mapping
    2 Database instance file system
    3 Create database parameter
    4 Create tablespace
    Next screen sapdata directory creating
    Next screen you can just click next no need to change any setting
    Next table creation
    Next screen specify oracle instance directories
    Next again parameter checking and last this is last screen
    Next will be the execution screen
    Reward points if usefull

  • There is  1 or 2 msg server for ABAP+Java system?

    Hi, all:
    I am confused by the number of msg server processes in ABAP+Java system.
    We are running on Windows/Oracle platform.
    There are 2 msg_server.exe at OS level. So it looks one of them belongs to the central instance and one of them belong to the central service of the Java stack. Am I correct? I've heard that even for an ABAP+java system, there is only one msg server. Which one is correct? Please share your opinion, thanks.

    Hi,
    There will be 2 MSG servers running in ABAP + JAVA system..
