Solman 7.1 upgrade from solman 7.01

Hi,
We have SolMan 7.01 ehp1 at the latest support package as of Oct2011. Business wants to use some new features of 7.1 so we want to upgrade to 7.1
We have a Dev and Prod systems for solman and running on Windows/SQL Server.
We use MOPZ, EWA, CCMS Central Monitoring, BI processchanin Monitoring etc,
If you have done upgrade in your landscape, please help us understand what all we need to be prepared for this task.
1) Are there any prerequisites?
2) Are there any Post Upgrade tasks that we need to perform or is it simply SPAM and JSPM applications?
3) Will there be any impact on existing settings in SMSY, EWAm CCMS etc?
Please provide the valuable comments, so that we can plan ahead of time. We also want to know how much time/effort is needed.
regards,

Just to add,
1. There will be no Impact on SMSY, EWA and CCMS.
2. Effort Estimate can be 35-40 hours + Latest SP upgrade for 7.1 (SP3)
3. Applying latest SPs for 7.1 should be included necessarily in the Plan.
Thanks

How to upgrade from Solman 7.0 to 7.0 EHP1?

Hi,
In the SAP note 1169247, it talks about doing the upgrade from 7.0 to EHP1 using SAINT and JSPM. But in the Upgrade Guide SAP Enhancement Package 1 for Solution Manager 7.0 - UNIX Oracle˝, it talks about running the upgrade using an Upgrade MAster DVD.
1. Now is this the same as the EHP installer? If so, why is it not mentioned anywhere in the upgrade guide that we have to use EHPI? If not, what is this Upgrade Master installer?
2. Should I use SAINT/JSPM for the upgrade to solman 7.01?
Your answers to these questions will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ajay

Hi Ajay,
I had the same question a few day's ago.
The difference between these two methods are the word updarte and upgrade.
If you are on Solman 7.0 you have to do a update with SPAM/SAINT.
If you are on Solman 3.0 or something you have to do a upgrade with the master dvds. You can read this on one of the first sites of the upgrade guide.
So you have to use SPAM/SAINT, and the Update Guide for EHP1 Using SPAM/SAINT will help you.

Using SolMAn / ChaRm for upgrade to ECC6

Good Day;
We are planning on using SolMan / ChaRm for our upgrade from 4.6C to ECC6 and I am wondering if it would be possible to do the following
Upgrade a development system to ECC6.
Define 2 virtual ECC6 Systems, 1 for the QA system and 1 for the production system
Create a project that contains all the business processes and has the above landscape assigned. This project does not have ChaRM active.
Create a maintenance cycle with the above landscape attached and ChaRM active.
As we upgrade the real QA and production systems to ECC6, we want to u201Cflip outu201D the virtual systems for the u201Crealu201D ECC6 systems.
Does anyone have any input in this type of plan?
Regards
Don

Thank you very much!

Error when trying to extract data from Solman to BI 7

Hi,
We are trying to extract data from Solman 7 to BI 7. The following extractors have been activated on Solman since we want to be able to report CCMS ALERTS and System availability on Bi Portal.
Transaction SPRO -> SAP Reference IMG -> SAP Solution Manager -> Scenario-Specific Settings -> Operations -> BI Reporting

0SM_DSWPBI_SYSTEM System Data
Our current situation is that we have scheduled the jobs through Solution_manager > solution Reporting > BI Data collection. Yet no data has been collected and the jobs are getting cancelled.
Has anyone come accross this same situation before? Plus I have just found out that on SOLMAN_WORKCENTER under System Monitoring there is a reporting step named IT PERFORMANCE reporting that needs to be configured.
Please advice since this will be critical for our busines.

Hello,
I have collected the data from our systems successfully. I have implemented the steps lsited at http://help.sap.com/saphelp_sm70ehp1_sp26/helpdata/de/45/51fbdbd4941803e10000000a1553f7/frameset.htm and it works fine.

Extract data from SolMan to MS Access with VB RFC

I am trying to create a database that allows me to extract data from SolMan directly from MS Access. The command I want to run is ZSPROJECT_GET_SOLAR_STATUS (I think this will do what I want it to). I am doing this in VB within Access and need to extract the data into a table for use with reports I have created. Currently I do this manually by running a solar_eval transaction and export to Excel, then import into Access. I would like this to be automatic as the users will not know how to do the manual extract.
Can anybody help me out?
Scott

I am an intern at the project with no SolMan or SAP training. We have a similar application that is web-based that was developed by someone using XML and a SOAP RFC, but since my application is in MS Access, I was hoping to do it through VB.
I don't know what version of SolMan it is, does 4.0 sound right?
I guess that I need to talk to someone from SAP on this project if I can find them to get this setup? I don't know if this is a generic transaction or not, but the one I use currently to extract the data is
solar_eval
so I'd like to automatically run this and extract the data using Access to put it into my table; rather than logging into the GUI, running the transaction, choosing the variant and layout, export to Excel, and then finally go into the database to import the data and run my reports.
Any thoughts on how I could do this besides what I'm trying to do which seems like it may be difficult?

You can´t do client copies over different versions (3.2 vs. 4.0) - the copy won´t start because there are a LOT of DDIC differences between those versions.

High Update Response Time ticket from solman

Hi Experts,
We have monitoring setup from solman. We are getting an alert for ECC prod that the there is High Update Response Time. Can you please let me know how to fix it?
Thanks,
Asad

Hi Asad ,
How many update work process do you have . See a high amount of wait time for the update process
You may increase their number if you have enough memory .
Go to SM13 , Go to -> Administration of update system
Goto - > Statistics
Response Times: Rules of Thumb - CCMS Monitoring - SAP Library
Less than 1 second is the recommended , though sometimes you may breach it .

Can we Transport CRM,ECC,EP request from SOLMAN 4.0

Client wanted to Implement transport configuration from solman 4.0 to all these components.I have experiance on Individual component STMS .
Not sure how to transport from solman.
As i know that solman is only monitoring system.Can we transport CRM,EP,BI,XI tranport request from SOLMAN .Istaead of loggin in other systems?
Your reply would be greatly appriciated.
Thanks
Kristene

Just to elaborate a little more on the point above that "All the existing transport requests in queue will be transported to SOLMAN STMS"...
This is quite correct, when SolMan takes control of your landscape all the old transports, however far they've gone on their way to production, are visible from SolMan (STMS)...
However, if you've configured TMS as recommended for change request management (and you should to avoid security loopholes) and without reverting to playing around on the operating system level, you'll find that you are no longer able to do anything at all with them (via STMS for example). Stuff unreleased in development, can no longer be released, transports not yet imported in Quality or production cannot be imported... it's like a total freeze on all the 'old' stuff.
Fairly simple to work around though - before the go live with SolMan, be sure to clear out and get live as much as you can to reduce the number of 'old' transports still in process somewhere.
When you're live with SolMan, you'll then need to create new Change documents for the 'in process' changes. Follow the SolMan process up to the point of creating transport requests, and then, in the development system, use transaction SE10 to transfer the contents of the 'old' transports into the 'new' ones created via SolMan. You can then use the SolMan process to migrate the transports.
Generally there's no problem with this, but occasionally, especially for workbench objects, you may find that you can't release the 'new' transports via SolMan. 99.9% of the time this is because the objects are locked in the 'old' transports, but you can usually use SE10 to delete/remove the objects/release or generally mess around with the old transport until the new transport can be released. Beware also that there is a risk of picking up the latest version of an object, rather than the version in the 'old' transport when using this process...
Hope this helps -ILL

No report can generate to a word report!

After confirming the information poopup, this Error message appears:

Hello,
This is a known problem in the meantime!!!
We use MS Word 2002 SP3! This Version ist too old! The Templates which the Solman want to use are now in MS Word 2003 (minimum)!
The solution is to upgrade MS Word!!!
