Sol Man 4 - data transfer to SMD - what is installation path?

In Solution manager 4, transactio SOLUTON_MANAGER then select menu path goto > Solution Manager Diagnostics > Solution Data Transfered. It says "This wizard senden the configuration data of solutions to the Solution Manager Diagnostics.". Select continue. Next I select a Solution Landscape and press continue. It seems to select all the servers with a basis level >= 640 and in my case find red opposit the server. If you double click on the server and expand the resulting display to the "SYSTEM - main instance" attribute Installation Path is blank.
What is Installation Path? Nothing I try to enter is valid. Any idea what is supposed to go here?

Before you attempt to publish a landscape to SMD there must be an SMD agent on each host running SAP BASIS 640 or higher that has sucessfully connected to the SMD. The wizard takes your specified path and asks the agent on that host to verify that it exists. If there is no agent you get that same cryptic error message.
I suggest you use SM trans SOLUTION_MANAGER to create landscapes comprising of systems you have sucessfully deployed a SMD agent there-on. As you deploy more SMD agents you can either create more landscapes or add those systems to your existing landscape that you have used for "publish to SMD".
Summary:
Step 1) Install SMD
Step 2) Install SMD agent(s)
Step 3) verify http://smhost:smport/smd/admin > Agent administration > Agent tab lists your server(s)
Step 4) create landscapes for publishing wizard
Step 5) publish lanscape expressly tailored for SMD

Data transfer rate Airport Extreme

which is the data transfer rate of the USB port in the Airport Extreme (4ta. Generation)...???
The HDD installed in that port, reads and writes very slow

I executed the test and I have a rate of data transfer of 1.9 escrtura of Mb/s and 2.7 reading Mb/s…. this is very under… What I can do.?
I even reinitiated the Airport and itself with the problem. I directly tested with the ports of iMac, and have DRT of 25.8 and 18.4 Mb/s
Ok, I am assuming that your measurements are in Mega Bytes per Second (MB/s) and not Mega Bits per Second (Mb/s). Even so, I would agree that you are getting low data transfer rates.
What is the make and model of the USB HDD that you have attached to the AirPort Extreme? Is it formatted in HFS+ or FAT32?
Also, the 25.8 & 18.4 readings when you have this drive attached directly is a bit low as well. I would expect something more like: 35 MB/s (read) & 25 MB/s (write) for a USB 2.0-connected HDD.

HT5287 If DVD Movies, Audio CD's and even burning CD and DVD's are not supported, what is the point of DVD & CD Sharing then? Wouldn't it just be better to remote in or use a thumb drive if it's only able to be used for data transfer?

If DVD Movies, Audio CD's and even burning CD and DVD's are not supported, what is the point of DVD & CD Sharing then? Wouldn't it just be better to remote in or use a thumb drive if it's only able to be used for data transfer?
Or am I missing the bigger picture?

As long as you have a Superdrive or an external burner/drive, burning, watching, installing, etc. from CD or DVD will work just fine. And so will sharing.

Whats the maximum achievable speed of data transfer from RT to host PC

Hi
Anybody can tell me whats the maximum achievable speed of data transfer from RT to host PC, in case of both PXI and CompacRIO.
Regards
Visuman

Hi visuman,
To be honest, the dataspeed is dependent on how you architect the code, and the data communication channels that you use.
There are many factors that influence the maximum transfer rate, including network topology, types of interface used, OS, ambient network traffic etc.
You can control two things, packet size, and amount of sleep time between transmissions.
By altering the delay between consecutive TCP/IP transmissions and by varying the packet sizes sent from the embedded side to the host side, you can obtain a clear picture of network characteristics between the two devices. The end result is a report of the optimal TCP/IP configuration, that is packet size and sleep time.
Check out : Developer Zone : Measuring the Maximum Amount of Data Sent Out of a Real-Time Target Device
Here are some other links that maybe useful for you.

What is the difference between copy requirement and data transfer routines

Hi Experts,
I am writing a copy control routine for maintainence quote
from sales quote.Where do i have to write it in VOFM?
Is it in copying requirements or data transfer.
Actually according to the business all the line items from the sales quote are copied
into the maintainence quote and additional line items are added into maintainence quote
and the line items copied from the source document are linked to the two newly added
line items.
Please advise.
And is it possible to add the 2 new line items to the new document into VBAP at the runtime?
Regards,
Chitrasen

First of all you have to have a link between the sales documents. You can check it in Tcode: VTAA. if not, talk to your functional people. Try to make this equal to quote to order but instead make it quote to quote.
You need to put break point in copy requirement as well as in data transfers and check for your requirement.
Well, the code you want to put in will be the requirement
I am not sure if you can add 2 line items runtime into quote. this has to go through different checks and i dont think it is possible.
Good luck

What is the best way to shut down an iMac that has frozen during a data transfer? The disk I was writing to will not eject. Stopping "copy items to" doesn't work either_ it is frozen as well. Is there a way to force eject the disk so I can shut down?

Some more information on the above: OS: 7.2
1. None of the shutdown commands would work so I held the power button down and received a prompt that asked if I wished to force eject the drive, I selected
the force eject and then shut down.
2. Just recently I installed an eSATA _ Thunderbolt_ port multiplier compliant PCIe card (Seritek Q6G) into a thunderbolt external chassis (OWC Helios) (seritek Q6G).
This freeze data transfer also happened when I connected a Firmtek 5PM external tower to the iMac via thunderbolt cable.
The driver for the seritek Q6G was installed in the iMac previous to connection of any of the devices.
Both external towers mount ok on the iMac but have frozen during data transfer.
The initial freeze was with the Firmtek 5PM which is (JBOD)_ I thought that might have had something to do with the freeze_ it being JBOD_ so next I tried the Mercury Elite AL Pro Q2- which is formated in RAID 5. But then froze too.
Anybody have any experience with this?
Maybe I need another driver?
Or maybe some update to my OS?
Any suggestions welcomed.
Thank you

Hello BDAqua, thanx for the suggestions. Before I saw this reply I tried to first quit the finder and then to relaunch the Finder but that resulted was a blank gray screen.
In the end I ended up having to power down the iMac.
Fortunately the RAID array that was "active" seems to be fine and also has a firewire 800 connection so I can use it_ just not with thunderbolt until this issue is solved.
I'm going to check in the Applications>Utilities>system log to see if any clues are evident_ thank you for the suggestion.
PS: Nothing of note was obvious as a root cause in the Activity Monitor though.
hmmm....I was told that the Helios and seritek card were compatable and that the Helios didn't require any drivers..it will be a drag if there isn't an easy fix for this since this new PCIe card from seritek is the first to offer port multiplier compatibility for eSATA to thunderbolt...since they are both new I'm hoping that an OS upgrade will be the fix (presently7.2)...we shall see.

What is hierarchical data transfer in functional location

hai,
i want to know indetail about hierarchical data transfer and horizontal data transfer in functional location.
can any one help me in this regard....
plz give information with some example if you dont mind...
thanks in advance
regards
gunnu.

Hi
From SAP HELP
Hierarchical Data Transfer
Definition
You can maintain data at a high level within a hierarchical object structure. The system will automatically transfer the data changes to the levels below that are affected.
The maintenance planner group is changed for the clarification plant described in Functional Location. The employee responsible for maintaining the master data makes the change to the master record of the highest functional location C1 and saves the changes. The system automatically makes the same change for all affected functional locations below the functional location C1, and issues a message to inform the employee of these changes.
Horizontal Data Transfer
Definition
With horizontal data transfer you can differentiate between:
Data transfer from reference location to functional location
Data transfer from functional location to installed piece of equipment
The ABC indicator of the functional location C1-B02-1 "Ventilator" is to be changed for several clarification plants.
The employee responsible for maintaining the master data makes the change in the master record of the reference functional location and saves the entries.
The system automatically makes the same change for all affected functional locations that were assigned to this reference location and for the pieces of equipment that are installed at these locations. The system then issues a message informing the employee of the changes.

Problem in moving project from Old Sol Man 3.1 to New Sol Man 4.0

Hi All,
I am trying to move a project from solution manager 3.1 version to a new solution manager 4.0 version. I followed the below steps:
1.Slected and transported the project using solar_project_admin tcode and created the transort requests in the old sol man version 3.1.
2.Copied the cofile and datafiles from old sol man and kept in trans directory of new Sol man 4.0 version at OS level.
3.Imported the requests into the new Sol Manager 4.0 successfully
4.When I tried to open the imported project it told me to run the "solman_log_comp_mgr program" to convert the project to the central logical components. I just did it and it went well.
I can see the project and do see the document types but no document names and getting all sorts of error messages when I tried to open these documents. Also I dont see the logical components under system landscape.
Before importing, I just have configured servers/hosts, databses and all the components of system landscapes in the new solution manager.
I request you to help me solve this issue. I also would like to know whether i followed proper procedures that i listed above? If not please suggest what procedures I should have follwed.
Thanks in advance.
Aravind Serikar

Hi Aravind,
to transport a project from 3.1 to 4.0 I would not use SOLAR_PROJECT_ADMIN to "migrate" a project. There for we developed SOLAR_MIGRATION there you can transport system landscape info, also you can transport projects. You should only transport system landscape info if in 4.0 SMSY is EMPTY. To transport projects you have only to specify your project and define a local folder. In this folder we store a few important information. Then all information will be collected in a batch job and automatically exported. Then you have to copy the data file and the cofile into the new trans folder. BUT do NOT forget the i-file. In the folder cofiles you will find a i-file, because we export knowledge warehouse content. This file is important, if you forget it you will get a return code 8. You do NOT have to add the files in the import buffer, we will do this automatically. To import the project, you have to call SOLAR_MIGRATION in SolMan 4.0 there you have to select import, then specify the folder with the few important information. We upload the info and start the import. That is it

uDo

Sol Man 4.0 and Reporting out to BW

We have upgraded to Sol Man 4.0 and need to report the Change Request info, Change Document info and Transports log using an external BW box. In researching this forum, I have learned that we can export data out by activating the CRM business content. I need more guidance as to what DataSources to use. So far we have activated and found data in <b>0CRM_SRV_PROCESS_H</b> and <b>0CRM_SALES_ACT_1</b>, but I am missing information such as Change Advisory Board, Subject, External Reference, Decision Date, and Implementation date to name a few. Can anyone help? Is this documented ANYWHERE?? Thank you.

Connecting SLD to Sol Man 4.0

Hi all,
I am trying to push my sld data to Sol Man 4.0. I have set up smsy_setup and ran sldcheck and set up sldapicust and everything seems o.k. but when I try to execute the job to pull data (SMSY_SETUP) and I review the update log I see a message stating "the sld server is inactive" and I am not sure why. I can log into sld and it's up an running so I don't know where to turn next.
One thing I do get is when I run sldcheck there is a message saying "No business systems found"?
Thanks,
Rodney Miller

Hi Rodney,
is the SLD brigde also running?
Go into SLD -> Administration -> Data Supplier Bridge, set update local SLD to true and start the bridge.
Business systems are only needed for XI, but not for what Solman is using.

Unable to create EWA in SOL MAN

Hi Experts,
I configured EWA for SOL MAN....
I successfully generating alerts for satellite systems but not for own SOL MAN
Alert running successfully with PMS and Refresh sessins with out error
my RTCCTOOL not showing any errors/requiremwents...
please suggest...
version : SAP SOLMAN EHP1

Siva.
Edited by: skreddy555 on Jan 30, 2011 1:38 PM

Hello,
So you are saying you can generate EWA reports for Satellite systems but not Solman itself?
That really doesn't give any details to the problem, as what has occured and what has not.
Is the EWA scheduled? Have you run solman_setup on Solution Manager as the managed system?
If you want to generate an EWA for Soman itself, then you also need to treat it like a managed system.
IWhat it the status in solman_ewa_adm? Is it active? If it is ther eand active it should be scheduled and then there should
be something in DSWP. Is the icon a bottle? 2 Bottles? A Red Flag? A Grey Diamond, a Document?
Is the maintenace package task scheduled and running with no errors? Are you using the SM_<SID>CLNT<nnn>_BACK RFC or the NONE RFC in SDCN as the back RFC and have you tested them?
Is SM:EXEC SERVICES finishing or cancelling? If it is cancelling is there a dump?
These are some things to check. But it is hard to even gues what the problem is because you have been so vague.
If you can describe what you have done to configure, what is working, and what seems not to be working, this would help to get an idea where & what the problem may be. But you generally need to treat the Solution Manager exactly the same as a satellite system when setting it up for EWA reporting. This make is both a managed and the managing system. So you can't skip any steps just because its the managing system. If you describe the problem in more detail, and if any part in the process is working, and what is not, that is helpful.
You should see it schedulied in DWSP. If not, then it's not scheduled. But the status in DSWP can tell a lot. A Red Flag means a problem with SDCCN tasks or the RFC, a Grey Diamond means important data is misisng and the report can't be generated, so that is a probelm is data collection, two flasks indicates sm:exec services has not run or is failing.
So you really need to give more information....unless I have already touch upon your problem, I don't know how helpful people can be but toss out general information.
I'd like to help more if you can give more details to what you see and don't see that you should.
Regards,
Paul

I just checked my BIOS and my current setting is set at IDE although it also mentions that the default should be AHCI. Currently I have a dual boot of Windows 7 (need it for Tax software) and Arch
So I guess, when I get the new HDD, I will first set it to AHCI and then install the OSes on it. See if NCQ helps any, and if not I will turn it back and re-install (if I have to). I am planning to have Windows only in virtualbox in the new drive.
Anyhoo, while I was in the BIOS I found two things which I had questions about :
1) Under Onboard Devices --> Integrated NIC , my setting is currently set at "On w/PXE" and it says the default should be just "On". Would it be ok to change it back to On since its a single machine and its not booting an OS on any server. I just don't want to have to re-install anything now since I will be doing that in the new HDD.
2) How would I know whether my BIOS would support a 64 bit OS in Virtualbox? I checked some setting under Virtualization, but they weren't very clear.
I will edit this post and let you know exactly what settings were present under the Virtualization sub-section.

Bottleneck in Data Transfer

We run a small network in our office consisting mainly of Intel iMacs we purchased several months ago. The server computer is a brand new Intel Mac Pro server with 4 500 gig drives raided together, two 2.66GHz dual core intel processors, all the other bells and whistles we could think of, etc. We added in two fiber-optic switches: one in the server room, one in the office. The switches connect to each other and the server with fiber optic cables, but the iMacs connect with ethernet cables.
We had the iMacs for a while but we just recently got the new server and upgraded our old 100 base switches. Afterwards we wanted to test out the data transfer speeds, as we plan to back up to the server frequently. We were dismayed to find that transfer rates capped out at 60 MegaBytes/sec according to the Activity Monitor's Network Activity tab. In fact, it would range mostly from 40-45MB/sec. None of us here have much experience with networking, but that seemed a tad too slow. My basic math tells me that a byte is 8 bits, and from that a Gigabit network should transfer data at 120 MegaBytes/sec, which is three times the speeds we were actually seeing.
We sent data both to and from the server in order to test this. Thinking it was perhaps a problem with the ethernet itself, we grabbed an external FireWire hard drive and transferred data from one of the iMacs directly to it and noticed exactly the same transfer rates. We plugged two iMacs directly into each other and transferred at the same rate, ~45MB/sec.
Well this was highly frustrating. All Macs supposedly ship with Gigabit ethernet since, what, 2002? Earlier? Why are our speeds so slow? We thought the hard drives might be slow, so we got info on the drives and googled them for their tech specs. The iMacs' Western Digital drives are capable of much much faster speeds according to everything we've read.
We started reading anything we could online that addressed this issue. Some information read the problem might be that the optical DVD-R/CD-R drive was only capable of slower transfer speeds. Since the optical drive and the hard drive are on the same bus it would slow down the hard drive's maximum transfer rate, much like having a Gigabit hub with a 10 base computer plugged into it would slow the entire network down (which is of course why we use switches instead of hubs). Is there any truth to this? If this is, in fact, the case, can we bypass this bottleneck somehow? I'm not talking about opening the computer and manually disabling the optical drive, as that's a waste of a perfectly good DVD-R/CD-R drive.
Also, if this is true, why in blue blazes is Apple flaunting Gigabit ethernet if the computer can only take advantage of 1/3 the speeds Gigabit ethernet has to offer?! I'll happily provide any more information that's relevant to the problem at hand.
Thank you
Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Here's the specs for the default Hard Drive that Apple put in here:
http://www.westerndigital.com/en/products/Products.asp?DriveID=137
From that page
Buffer To Host (Serial ATA) 300 MB/s (Max)
Buffer To Disk 748 Mbits/s (Max)
I have no idea what signaling overhead for my data transfer protocol means.
The ethernet cords are no longer than 20 feet, are all Cat5E, and are well shielded. There is little to no ElectroMagnetic interference in any area they run. The longest cable is the Fiber Optic one, which runs about... oh... 40 yards? These were all installed by professionals.
I feel it's important to stress the fact that we tested an isolated direct computer to computer transfer with a single 6 foot Cat5E Ethernet cable and still experienced the same speeds that we experienced over the network. We tested multiple computers, multiple cables, multiple files.
