SolMan Diagnostics integration with Mercury LoadRunner

Hi,
I've been reading about the new SolMan Diagnostics and specifically about the Going Live Check that includes a load test of the 3 most important customer click scenarios in SAP Portal using Load Runner tools.
My questions are:
1. The 3 most important customer scenarios are defined by SAP or by the customer?
2. The LoadRunner Generator installed in the Sol Man act as a client to generate the load on the SAP Portal? The script is running in Sol Man hitting the SAP Portal?
3. If I have my own licensed LoadRunner Controller can I
connect to the same Generator installed in the Solution Manager to run my own scenarios and take advantage of the Sol Man Diagnostics integration?
Thanks for your time and responses.

Hi Guyz,
I can see that this thread is just growing. Please find below the steps to accomplish this integration:
Mercury Quality Centre 9.0 :-
1)       Ensure Mixrosoft .Net Framework 1.1, SP1 is installed
2)       Ensure Quality Center 9.0, Patch 9 is installed
3)       Install the SAP Inspector component on each Quality center client
SAP Solution Manager :-
1)       Create an SAP Role with auth objects S-RFC and S_TABU_DIS
Importing BPH in QA Center :-
1)       In Import Solution Manager Business Blueprint Wizard, Tools>Import Solution Manager Blueprint
If you have questions, look in to support.mercury.com

ECM performance testing with mercury loadrunner

Hi all,
A team within our technical divisions is currently trying to record mercury loadrunner scripts to performance test the ECM standard functionality that we have implemented on our portal. They are having a lot of problems to get these to work, they are complaining about random errors being generated, http 500 errors and values that are not passed. Now, I realise this isn't a lot of information and frankly I don't have much to give you myself as I'm not part of that team. But I was wondering if anyone has run performance tests on ECM with mercury loadrunner scripts and were succesful. To be honest I don't see what the problem is with recording and running these scripts, but the pressure is on me to try and resolve the issues. They keep saying they've got errors when running their scripts but I can't see anything in the logs.
Does anyone have any experience on performance testing ECM with loadrunner?
Thanks for your time.
best regards,
Dion

Hi James,
thanks for your replies. I don't have access to the scripts as I'm not part of the team. I'm sitting on the SAP side trying to support them but I can't understand what the problem would be. They claim to have issues with the parameters for the ECM in their scripts and I was wondering if anyone else had similar difficulties recording scripts for these components.
regards,
Dion

ECATT integration with Mercury QuickTest for SAP

For the past few months I have been evaluating Quick Test Professional from Mercury and eCATT (extended Computer Aided Testing Tool) from SAP as testing tools for SAP. Mercury has a strong partnership with SAP and the two companies have offered ways to integrate their two products. Has anyone ever used eCATT in conjunction with QTP? What are your thoughts on this partnership? Is it worth $10,000 to pick up Mercury's QTP when SAP's eCATT is Free with SAP? I think the functionality is comparable, although QTP is easier to use and can interact with 3rd party applications. If anyone has used both QTP and eCATT, do you think these two tools are an either/or option or do they compliment each other?

Ben,
Good to hear you liked the article. Look out for another contribution in SPJ in the near future
I have attempted to answer your questions - all prefixed with ==> SAP (JM) in your original text:
This document describes the functionality, abilities and benefits that would be lost in an SAP automated testing solution that excludes Mercurys QuickTest. Assuming that SAPs eCATT is the only tool used for SAP testing there will be the following limitations:
Script Creation
SAP eCATT cannot record certain types of report screens in TCD(Record) mode. i.e. MB58(view stock levels)
==> SAP (JM): This is true - but you can use the SAPGUI command, which uses the same technical interface as QTP.
Although the active screen simulator in eCATT contains data, it is usually not visible and the user has to guess where to click in order to capture a value. The other option is to forgo the active screen and do all of the work through the command interface.
The active screen in QuickTest allows the user to see the exact state of the screen that was recorded and access the fields in that screen.
==> SAP (JM): A valid criticism of eCATT. From Release 6.40 (SAP NetWeaver 04), a script-wide search function makes using the command interface easier.
The recorded script is one command, (i.e. TCD(VA01, VA01_1) is the command for an entire sales order), therefore Scripting logic must be placed before, after or around a transaction. There is less freedom in scripting inside of a transaction.
In the Expert view of QTP users can add or delete visual basic statements during any portion of the transaction. Each step, down to a click or keystroke is recorded as an individual statement that can be modified or deleted. Logic such as loops and conditions can be placed around any set of steps.
==> SAP (JM): Using the SAPGUI command in eCATT, you can create commands that cover a single screen, providing more of the kind of flexibility that you find in QTP.
The eCATT tool does not allow individual steps in a single transaction recording to be rearranged or deleted. If a user makes a mistake while recording, the entire transaction must be re-recorded.
QuickTest allows users to freely remove steps that were mistakes or errors after a transaction has been recorded.
==> SAP (JM): Again, using SAPGUI in eCATT, this is possible. Admittedly tricky in Release 6.20, but very simple in Web AS 6.40.
SAPs eCATT cannot inherently read excel spreadsheets for data driven testing. The eCATT tool allows for data driven testing through its own data tables. These are useful for entering small sets of data. For eCATT to test large sets of data created in excel spreadsheets there are three solutions:
1. Purchase conversion software from SAP
2. Write an in-house conversion script
3. Enter data manually into the eCATT data table
QuickTest stores its data table as an excel-readable .xls file.
==> SAP (JM): 1. Who is selling the conversion software?
==> SAP (JM): You can use the class CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES to upload a tab-delimited file into an internal table in a test script (using an Inline ABAP routine)
==> SAP (JM): Data upload/download is available in Web AS 6.40
Test scripts in eCATT are limited to about 40 parameters.
In QucikTest the only limitation to the number of parameters or number of iterations is the maximum number of columns and rows in an excel worksheet.
==> SAP (JM): Where does this limitation come from? Does it seem to be technical, or more practical in nature?
Scripts that enter a single line item in a table cannot be modified to enter multiple items later. A new script with multiple line items must be recorded.
A script in QTP can be modified to add a single line item or multiple line items to a table regardless of how many items were entered when the transaction was recorded.
==> SAP (JM): This is possible in eCATT if you use the SAPGUI command. Because a single SAPGUI command can cover a small part of a transaction, you can isolate the "line item" section in a single command, then put a loop around it. I have an example of this if you need one.
Script Execution and Analysis
SAP eCATT will respond with a pass/fail status based on its own criteria before any checkpoints have been added. Although eCATT allows for additional checkpoints, there is a minimum level of pre-set requirements that eCATT looks for in order to allow a test to pass. These pre-set requirements cannot be viewed or changed and tests may fail even when, from the users perspective, the transaction has responded exactly as expected.
Quick Test will only fail a test if the script if it was unable to recognize an object on the screen or complete every statement. Otherwise failure points are completely determined by the insertion of check points by the Test engineer. QuickTest also provides the option to ignore missing objects or uncompleted steps.
==> SAP (JM): Default conditions in eCATT (for example, fail if an error message occurs) can be overwritten. See eCATT documentation on http://help.sap.com for details (use the NetWeaver 2004 documentation - it is more comprehensive). Then, the only conditions under which the test would fail automatically would be a system error (RFC destination not available, or similar)
If SAP experiences a system failure, eCATT will fail too and test results may be lost.
If SAP were to crash QuickTest can take a screenshot and pinpoint the location in the code where the script failed.
==> SAP (JM): If you are working remotely (test case and application under test in different systems) you will get a log in the central test system, even if the SUT fails. The only circumstances under which everything is lost would be a full GUI crash!
eCATT cannot use the SAP logon pad to open a new session and log on as a new user.
In QuickTest new sessions can be opened and different users can be logged in with encrypted passwords.
==> SAP (JM): eCATT uses System Data Containers and RFC destinations to log onto multiple systems as a specified user. This is more flexible than using hard-coded user names in a script and allows you to leverage concepts such as Trusted RFC or SSO.
Aside from printing results on paper, users cannot view test results without an SAP logon to the system where the tests were executed.
Mercury provides a test viewer that can be installed on any machine and allows users without the QuickTest application to view and analyze test results.
==> SAP (JM): eCATT logs can be downloaded in a variety of formats from the log view in transaction SECATT (via the Print Preview function, then List -> Save).
Cannot view a screenshot of the failed step.
QuickTest provides the option to capture a screen shot at the point of failure.
==> SAP (JM): Again, a valid criticism. This has been rectified for the next release of eCATT (will be available with Solution Manager 4.0). When playing back a SAPGUI command, you will be able to capture screenshots at various points in time ranging from "every screen" to "on error".

SolMan integration with HP Quality Center

Hi Friends,
Is there any way by which we can integrate Solution Manager with Mercury Quality Center?
Please let me know.
Thanks,
Rock

Hi Rock,
The short answer is - yes, you can, after buying a 'Adapter' that SAP sells.
I am not sure if you have already seen some relevant pages and still have this doubt. In any case, I have listed some places where you would find relevant literature.
(1) http://service.sap.com/rkt-solman
In the above link, after supplying your OSS ID and password, you have access to various training documents. One of the links contain SAP Tutor and PDF files on this subject.
(2) For Adapter information, please got to the following link:
http://service.sap.com/upgrade
Click on Product Availability Matrix and then search for Adapter QC in Quick Search for Product Versions box.
You would get a window message that confirms that the Adapter is made available by SAP since 13.03.2008
(3) You also find some more information from 'Online Help' section on Solution Manager
Trust this helps.

Srini

Service desk integration with 3rd party tool

Hi all,
I've problems understanding the setup of connecting a 3rd party service desk tool with solman itsm.
So far it's clear that I need to activate and configure the service provider and consumer in soamanager.
The webservice then will be called by the 3rd party tool with corresponding data.
However, according to spro I need to define a value mapping for incoming/outgoing calls.
I do not understand this mapping... the WSDL of webservice ICT_SERVICE_DESK_API contains lots of fields, but in spro -> value mapping I can only define the following fields (which are hard coded in type pool AIICT):
SAPCategory
SAPComponent
SAPDatabase
SAPFrontend
SAPIncidentID
SAPIncidentStatus
SAPInstNo
SAPOperatingSystem
SAPSoftwareComponent
SAPSoftwareComponentPatch
SAPSoftwareComponentRelease
SAPSubject
SAPSystemClient
SAPSystemID
SAPSystemType
SAPUserStatus
What about attachments, priority etc.?
Will the interface parameters mapped to these ones?
For what purpose do I need to maintain the value mapping?
Can you give me a hint?

Hi Hemant
SAP has made a lot of the transport functionality in GRC10. I find that they hereby created a huge expectation with the customer, that in fact is not true.
For instance Exclusion Objects and Mitigation Controls are NOT transported. What about Organizations? Critical Roles and Profiles are also not transportable.
As for the Connectors - system specific parameters are transported. Therefore you end up having to delete the DEV and QA connectors in the PRD GRC system.
On this question, has anyone used CLM yet? It seems that only Functions and Risks will be extracted to CLM and then deployed in the other system (DEV to QA for example). Does CLM even work?
SAP provide not guidance on all of these important issues. I agree that it is about time that SAP takes some leadership and produce a proper best practise guide for this software. By the way, an offical sizing document from SAP is still to be delivered.
Thanks
Will

Solution Manager 7.1 Integration with Sharepoint

Hello,
We are trying tio implement Solution docuemtnation in Solution manager 7.1 integrated with Sharepoint. Need any suggestion or guidence to integrate Solution MAnager with Share point.
We want to store docuemtn in share point and would like to provide a link of this docuemnt in Solution MAnager.
Regards,
BA

Is it possible that i can give a url of solution amanager project in portal or in some other frontend from where I can access the docuemtn availablle in the perticulat project in SM using th url. ( without SAP GUI)
A project specific iview maybe if you are using SAP Portal? I have not tried it myself, so I cannot elaborate on the topic.
But project specific documents (if they are being uploaded to MOSS and only web-linked in SolMan) should just be locked/read only and can be access controlled using MOSS security as well. So I wonder why the complication of providing it to everyone on a Portal link, when the webfront end for MOSS should provide you the link and the content can be controlled using MOSS security
Also apart from MOSS is it possibel to use TREX as an search engine.
This would be a possible disadvantage, but you are not missing out on much, because MOSS's context based search is actually better, and i ssay this from personal experience.
Hope that Helps!
Cheers!!

Peoplesoft integration with solution manager

Hi Experts,
I would like to know whether peoplesoft can be integrated with SAP solution manager and whether other third party applications can be integrated with Solman... it can be helpdesk, monitoring or any other scenario... Please pass on any information that you might have

I'm also interested in this topic because we want to integrate incidents and changes reported by the solution manager in a Peoplesoft S3 helpdesk.

Cubes 0SMD* (SolMan Diagnostics)

Hi!
I want to use data from SolMan Diagnostics to run BI Reports. There are some Content Cubes, e.g. 0SMD_PE2H, but I don't know how these cubes are filled...
Cubes are Real time and have requests starting with APO*, but neither BI-IP nor BPS are used to fill them.
Has anybody an idea, how (report, special job, etc.) data are loaded in these cubes?
regards,
Gunter

That's what I'd like to do. That's also why I posted this message, since I am not sure whether the JAVA update will spoil my Solman Diagnostics. Thus far, no issues. Just got a message when login to smd/admin "Upgrade status for the current version is outdated. Please upgrade now.".
I did patch them one by one, since maintenance optimizer isn't installed yet. I need to get approval from SAP to download. ABAP part has been top-up to SP15. So, only JAVA is left to SP14.
Any advice?
Regards,
Agoes

Help Needed: HP QTP/UFT integration with Solution Manager

Hi Experts,
We are trying to make HP UFT 12.00 work with Solution Manager 7.1 for enabling automated testing for our client. We have successfully linked HP UFT and Solution Manager and were able to record and execute a test script created in HP UFT with no problem.
Unfortunately, when we tried creating a new test script in HP UFT and tried saving it so that it is stored in Solution Manager, we get the following error. We have reviewed the integration procedures and authorization objects needed and it seems nothing was missed.
Anybody familiar with the said error or any suggestions where to look will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Detailed steps for replicating the issue:
Connect to Solution Manager through Tools -> SAP Solution Manager Connection…
2. Open Unified Functional Testing (UFT) 12.00
3. Click File -> New -> Test
4. Type even a dummy script in the Action window
5. Save Test Script by clicking File -> Save <test name> As…
6. Fill out dialogue box with Test name and Test version then click Ok. Note: I used Z* name
7. Error Message appears
Note:
One observation is that, error message only appears when trying to save a Test that is not currently in Solution Manager. If I try saving the dummy test from above as “Z_CREATE_SALES_ORDER_02” (exists in Solution Manager),
I am asked if I want to overwrite existing test in Solution Manager.

Hi,
I have configured the solman in accordance with UFT12.0 but still un-able to make conenction to the solution manager.

External Tool Integration with the xMII Workbench 12.x

Is there any form of external tool integration, or API that supports building one (think something like a Eclipse plugin) ?
The editor for non-transaction based work (such as HTML, XSLT, etc.) should be considered unacceptable by all serious developers. Crashes, memory-leaks, lack of syntax-highlighting, etc.
While I'm aware that I can obviously code in another editor, and then copy&paste the code over every time I want to test something, this is a approach that's not only stupid and time-consuming, it's also very error phrone, and often causing loss of data.
A integration to Eclipse, either by a specialized API, or version-control integration with NDWI (if that even works, seems that nobody use it?), would make development much much less painful, and more efficient.
Even if this is completely impossible now, let this be a suggestion to the developers for much needed improvements, if this tool is to be taken serious by modern day developers. External version-control support is also a really big lack in the product. A home-made centralized VCS is hillariously inefficient. If the system had been build on standard-solutions such as SVN, atleast a Mercurial bridge could been done.

Hi,
Like to add few points here :
1) NWDI is available for source control and version management since MII 12.1 release. It is the standard and stable component across all NW Java solutions and can be easily configured and used with MII with no hassle (my own experience). You can refer the following configuration guides for NWDI setup and use:
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/f0d998ba-2076-2d10-b3be-90909838e4d2?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/d0348c15-6ee6-2c10-f7a0-89c0fc2099ec?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true
2) NWDS integration is not available in 12.2 release which is already at the end of ramp-up. I have heard from my friends in SAP MII product development that NWDS will be the de-facto editor for all SAP MII development in the future releases. The first phase of integration may come up in the immediate next release (12.3 or 13.0) which will get 100% completed in the release after that. I'll appreciate if anyone from the product development team can confirm this.
3) Definitely the web editor in MII workbench currently is pathetic for serious web developers and not anything more than a notepad. I remember in the Lighthammer (11.0/11.5) days there was a MS Frontpage plugin available for MII. I think that's not available or usable anymore. But with NWDS integration I hope this will be looked into as well.
4) WSDL interface of BLS though present from Lighthammer itself it was not matured and error-prone earlier. Since MII 12.1.4 it has been improved somewhat and now works fairly well.
My two cents
Thanks,
Dipankar

OIM 9.1.0 Integration with Active Directory 2008 R2

Hi,
My customer is running Root/Child AD structure based on windows 2003 w/SP2, OIM 9.1.0 deployed under one of the child domains, and integrated with child domains controllers which runs windows server 2003 as well.
My customer has decided to upgrade his AD to Windows Server 2008 R2 domain controllers across the entire AD Forest and still wants to integrate the current OIM v9.1.0 with AD for all of his Users provisioning and password synchronizations.
Am not sure if current OIM version of OIM 9.1.0 is compatible and supported by OIM v9.1.0 under active directory version 2008 / R2, and not sure if it can be integrated with such AD version.
Any guidance is really appreciated.
Also I was thinking of such scenario but also not sure of its support ability and if OIM will keep working on such scenario, the scenario is to upgrade only the AD root domain to Windows 2008 R2 while keeping the child domain holding the OIM 9.1.0 at Windows 2003 version.
Is this a working and supported scenario by OIM v9.1.0 ?

I believe you question should be if the connector supports this architecture. Check out the versions supported for the connector you are using and you should be good.

Hi Guru's,
Currently we are using SAP NetWeaver 2004 s version 7.0 system for our BI.
This is integrated with the EP. But our BI system does not contain the Java Stack installed.
When we work on WAD templates and execute the template, it is automatically directed to EP portal where we can see our reports.
Here my question is do we need Java Stack for this system to use ADOBE DOCUMENT services or can it work with EP only for the web functionalities.
Any info on this is of great help.
Best Regards
Kumar

HI Reddy,
We came to know from our basis team that we do not have the Java Stack installed in our BI 7.x system yet.
As it is integrated with EP which has Java, our web reports are working.
1) But my question is still do we ned to install the Java Stack in our BI system as i do not find any Export to PDF option in EP for the reports (eventhough AS Java supports this).
2) Or can we use the existing configuration without Java STack integrated to EP for the new tools like Report Designer and Integrated Planning?
Regards
Kumar

Session keep Alive when EBS is integrated with OIF acting as SP

We have an E-Business Suite R12(12.1.3) Application which is integrated with Oracle Access Manager 11.1.1.5. For authentication the Oracle Access Manager delegates the authentication request to Oracle Identity Federation acting as a Service Provider (SP). There is a home-grown SSO which acts as the Identity provider by Federating it with OIF using SAML 2.0 protocol.
The integration is successful and EBS is able to authenticate using this third party SSO.
Now there are multiple applications which are integrated with this third party SSO and the user can access any of these applications including EBS.
Considering a scenario where a user is using EBS Application say for more than 30 mins. Now when he tries to login to another application the challenge screen is thrown though he can continue to work on EBS without any issue. The reason being that the session timeout on the IDP side is set to 30 mins.
To overcome this issue the solution that has been thought of using a javascript for each page load on the application which will update the SSO token with the latest UTC time on the IDP server. This has been successfully done for all other applications except EBS.
So my question is how we can call this java script for each page load for EBS?
Thanks & Regards

It appears that OAM is removing the url parameters for the p_done_url sent to it by OIF.
302 Redirect to -> Location: https://sso.mycompany.com/oam/server/logout?p_done_url=https%3A%2F%2Fsso.mycompany.com%2Ffed%2Fuser%2Fsloosso%3Fid%3Dosso%26type%3D3&invokeOSFSLogout=false
Result: 200. Set-Cookie OAM-ID to expired.
Form Submits: https://sso.mycompany.com/fed/user/sloosso
Result: 500 Error
Notice the p_done_url value in the redirect has extra parameters which when the Form is submitted are lost.
If I manually enter the url: https://sso.mycompany.com/fed/user/sloosso?id=osso&type=3&invokeOSFSLogout=false
Then I am successfully logged out.
This seems almost like a bug in OAM...
