Solution Manager 7.1 upgrade or configuration in Solman 7.0 EHP1

Hi,
We have a Solution Manager 7.0 EhP1 and there is a project now to configure several functionalities on it such as Charm and Services desk among others. We have the option of configuring all the functionalities in SOlman 7.0 EHP1 or upgrading to 7.1 and then configure the functionalities in the new version.
I would like to know if anybody has implemented an upgrade of Solman 7.0 EHP1 to Solman 7.1 with some functionalities implemented.
I would like as well if in the fact the the Solman 7.0 EHP1 has several functionalities implemented complicates the upgrade to Solman 7.1. The fact that the upgrade is more complicated due to all the functionalities configured, would be important factor to upgrade to 7.1 instead configure it in 7.0 EHP1.
Any information about this would be appreciated.
Many thanks in advance!
Raquel

Newer functionality and more holistically speaking, an ALM Tool, arguably one of the best in the market should be more than enough to take you to 7.1
if all you have is EWA, there is no major risk associated, the new 7.1 has new transaction types for ChaRM and Service Desk, the functionalities of which are better rounded and can support more enterprise wide processes.
Graphical Business Blueprint tool, my favorite feature in 7.1 and enhanced features in Project Implementation tools will only help you manage your implementations/support projects better.
If all you have is EWA, I have half a mind to ask you to do a fresh install, and not bother with the upgrade. Saves you time and lot of effort as well.

Solution Manager 7.1 upgrade,j2ee_admin is locked

Hello ,
I am in the middle of solution manager 7.1 upgrade and running into execution phase now. but my j2ee_admin password is locked.
I want to unlock and reset the password but this is what happening .:
1. I try to login with old j2ee_admin password but it is not correct.
2. I re-check with updating same to configtool but no luck
3.I have enabled emergency SAP* ID and can login to Visual Admin so
4. when I try to access UserAdmin so that I can unlock j2ee_admin it gives me error as Application error occurred
during request processing
Is there any way to reset /Unlock j2ee_admin even though NWA/ user admin is not available.
Please help me so that I can move ahead with upgrade
Thanks,
Supriya

Hi Supriya,
Hope you are doing good.
What is the status of the upgrade; is the UME still ABAP ? If so just login to the backend ABAP server/client and unlock j2ee_admin.
Else login to visual admin and there is a security provider in the services where you can unlock the user.
Hope this helps.

Solution Manager 3.2 upgrade to version 7.0

Hello All,
I am in the Solution Manager 3.2 upgrade to version 7.0.
In phase IS_SELECT "Upgrade Assistant" asks to add a few files update
components (Attachment: screens). Two of them (ST-SER and CPRXRPM) I
managed to find and read.
However, in the SAP Service Marketplace I can not find the new Add-On'ów:
ST and ST-ICO.
(For example:
ST - 400,
ST-ICO - 150_700)
Can I skip them in this step and leave the current versions?:
ST - 320 level 19
ST-ICO - 150_620 level 10
Best regards,

Those are part of the normal "upgrade" package - I wonder which DVDs you used to start the upgrade...
SAP Solution Manager 4.0 Upgrade (2) 1 of 11

Are you trying to do a Netweaver upgrade? This won't work...

Solution Manager Enterprise Edition upgrade slow

Hi
I am performing SOMAN 7.0 upgrade to Enterprise edition by upgrading kernel 701 and SP stack 18. I have already upgraded the kernel and java stack and now in the process of upgrading ABAP. I am expereincing really slow performance of this upgrade. I have checked tp and R3trans version which is uptodate as I updated kernel. I cant see any problem with CPU utilization as well swapping. I checked the SLOGs and there are no alerting errors. I see its moving and its very slow. I am just wondering if any of you guys experienced this - is this normal since this is a upgrade?

Thanks a lot, i realize the installation following the standard add-on installation procedure!
Now i have the ST-ETP
ST     400     0024     SAPKITL434     SAP Solution Manager Tool
ST-A/PI     01M_CRM570     0000     -     Application Servicetools for CRM 500 - 7
ST-ETP     100     0000     -     SAP Solution Manager Enterprise Edition
ST-ICO     150_700     0025     SAPK-1507PINSTPL     SAP Solution Manager Implementation Cont
ST-LV     100     0001     SAPK-10001INSTLV     SAP Landscape Verification Wizard
ST-SER     701_2010_1     0002     SAPKITLOS2     SAP Solution Manager Service Tools
Then don't forget to perform step 5. After the installation steps.
Step 5 says this:
5. After the installation
              To activate SAP Solution Manager Enterprise Edition, the Enterprise Addon SM_APPLM has to be activated in the IMG of the Solution Manager System. This is done via IMG activity SAP Solution Manager->Configuration->Scenario-Specific Settings->Activate Solution Manager Enhancements.
            a) In the case of ST-400 SP15-SP17
            To use Extended Tracebility in Change Request Management activate BC-Set SOLMAN40_CHARM_CONTEXT_001 in transaction SCPR20
            b) In the case of ST-400 SP18 or higher
            The activation of BC-Set SOLMAN40_CHARM_CONTEXT_001 will be done automatically.
In my spro i don't have this options->
I see the route Activate Solution Manager Enhacements in SPRO -> Cross Scenario Settings
And in enterprise extension I only see ( SM_CRON, SM_QC_AD, SM_SSP,SM_SUPP_VAR)
I guess that this in SP24 is done automatically, but you said, that don´t forget the step 5 after installation.
update:I check for updates of SP and this add-on don´t have SP for now

Solution Manager 7.1 Upgrade - ST add on release Issue

Good day
I have the following issue where the ST add on's are = the target release of the upgrade. The release is only on a higher patch level in 7.1(SPS4)
The step is Configuration(3) in SOLMANUP, it will not get past the phase of deciding to keep the add on's, the error is:
For the following Add-on component(s) the KEEP YOURS decision is not longer valid,
since at least for one of the base components an Add-on upgrade has been included:
ST-ICO     (changed base component: ST)
ST-PI      (changed base component: SAP_BASIS)
ST-SER     (changed base component: ST-PI)
You need to change the decision of the above Add-on(s).
Any ideas?
Thanks

Hi Miguel,
I am using SOLMANUP, I am using the installation/upgrade software and using SPS 4 as my target release. I am using SPS4_upgrade.xml in my download directory.
If I try using SPS 2 with SPS2_upgrade.xml it produces an error because my patch level of ST-PI is already patch 5 in my current system(Solution Manager 7.01 EHP1), and SPS 2 of Solution Manager 7.1 ST-PI = patch 4, that's why I am using SPS 4 stack as it is a higher level that my current patch level of ST-PI.
The issue is that the mentioned ST add-on's are the same release as the target release, the only difference is the patch level. The upgrade recognises that the source and target release is the same, but will not let me keep with Decision = Keep
Thanks
Derek

Solution Manager 4.0 - S-user configuration?

Dear community.
I've got a little problem while configure our solution manager 4.0 system.
The satelite systems are configured and implemented and now I want to configure the Service Connections. So that I can open the Service Connections for sap support out of the solution manager.
For that work I have to configure a s-user in the transaction "dswp -> edit -> global settings -> connection to sap" to connect to the sap service market place and to update the systems data.
My problem is that i found anywhere a description what I need for a kind of user and which permissions he should have.
Further the s-users are personlized. When I create a s-user for the solution manager, it shouldn't have a relation to a real person, because it is just for the system. What can i do in that case, when I have to create the user?
I hope you can understand my problem and give me a tipp to resolve it.
kind regards
C. Erdmann

Dear Yoshitaka,
thank you for your quick ansswer.
To your listet points:
1) To use the service connection out of the solution manager first of all there has to set a user under the path "dswp -> edit -> global settings -> connection to sap" to download the system definitions out of the service marketplace. This user should only be used for the sap solution manager.
2) In my point 1) starts the problem that I don't know which permissions I've give to the S-user in the SAP Service Marketplace so that the solution manager can start to download the system definitions out of the service marketplace.
3) The s-user which I insert in the solution manager should be a special user with no name of a real person. When I create a new User in the service market place I'v got to write down the firstname, lastname and e.g. the position of the person which should get the new s-user. In my case the person which should get the s-user isn't a "real" person, because it is the sap solution manager. So i havnt't a real name position and so on, to create the s-user. Do you now understand what I mean? Of course, a possible solution is to invent a name for the sap solution manager, but that's not what i want. When SAP says that I should insert a s-user in the solution manager they should document what it should be for a user and which permissions he should have.
I searched in all documentations but I found any solution for my problem.
So, if you now understand my problem please answer if you have a solution for me.
Many thanks.
Michael

Sap Solution Manager 7.1 SP11 Basic Configuration

Hi Experts,
I am in fresh installation for Sap Solution Manager 7.1 SP11. At Basis Configuartion Phase in step " Configure CA Introscope".
I have successfully installed, but it shows the following message: " Offline - The EM Connection cannot be established (caused by :com.sap.smd.introscope.em.IntroscopeException: java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException_) "
Need suggestions how to proceed from here.
thanks

Raja,
I assume you're using Linux/UNIX.
Here's the solution. It worked for me.
In /usr/sap/ccms/apmintroscope/config/users.xml, update the Guest password with this MD5 hash: c4582df82299e0581a9fc6bb34c53
In user management screen of "Configure CA Introscope", choose "Guest" as connection user with password "guest12" (without quotation marks)
If it's still not working, then delete the EM and re-install the introscope.
Go to expert mode -> Delete references -> Remove the line
Delete folder /usr/sap/ccms/apmintroscope
Install introscope and management modules againdon't forget to re-set the permission for diagnostic agent user
Go back to solman_setup "Configure CA Introscope" and do import CA again
Save, you'll have a green status

Solution Manager 7.1 Upgrade: Problems during LMDB Setup

Hi,
we upgraded our Solution Manager 7.0 EHP1 development system to 7.1 SPS3 (including all new sap notes).
During solman_setup we get the following error at -> System Preparation -> 6 Prepare Landscape -> 6.4 Set up LMDB:
No such namespace: "active"
Due to this error it is not possible to add a synchronization connection between our local SLD and LMDB, because there's no target namespace!
Does anyone know how to add the namespace "active" ??
Greetz
André Richter

Make sure that your SLD meet the requirements:
SAP NetWeaver Release
The following table gives an overview of the SAP NetWeaver versions for an LMDB-compatible SLD, and whether, and since when (which support package stack), an SLD satisfies the minimum requirements for LMDB:
SAP NetWeaver Release (SLD)
Supported Support Package Stack Level
SAP NetWeaver 6.40
not supported
SAP NetWeaver 7.0
not supported
EHP1 for SAP NetWeaver 7.0
not supported
EHP2 for SAP NetWeaver 7.0
SP6, patch 5
SAP NetWeaver 7.1
SP9
EHP1 for SAP NetWeaver 7.1
all SPs
SAP NetWeaver 7.2
all SPs
SAP NetWeaver 7.3
all SPs
If you cannot give your central SLD a required status, you can use another SLD which does satisfy the minimum requirements (e.g. the SAP Solution Manager SLD), and fill it with the data from your central SLD, using SLD bridge functionality.
Model and CR Content
The CIM model and SAP CR content requirements are:
 CIM model 1.6.16 or higher
 Newest SAP CR CONTENT, at least version 7.0
For more information about updating CR content, see SAP Note 669669.

Solution Manager 3.1 upgrade to 3.2

Hi,
I have to upgrade Solution Manager to 3.2 SP Stack 15 or 7.0 SP Stack 09.
Now I have Solution Manager 3.1, in detail: SAPKB62052 and SAPKU31010
How can I do it?
My problem is:
I have to upragde Solution Manager because I have on my notebook Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.0 so SAP GUI doesn't display F1, F4 and so on.
I know it's the html problem, I want to use note 950975 but from last year due to this note I can do it only by Solution Manager
u2022     SAP Solution Manager 7.0 SP Stack 09
u2022     SAP Solution Manager 3.2 SP Stack 15 (with limited functionality)
So the first I have to upgrade SAP Solution Manager than implement the note.
Regards,
Betta Woroch

Hi,

In SR13 transaction is only one item: PlainHtmlHttp:
Variante: IWBHELP1
Platform: WIN32
Area: IWBHELP
Server names: HELP.SAP.COM
Path: saphelp_erp2004/helpdata
Language: EN

In my company is SAP Fixed Assets:
SAP_BASIS SAPKB62048
SAP_ABA     SAPKA62048
SAP_APPL SAPKH47022
This problem occurs after upgraded Microsoft Internet Explorer to 7.0 in my notebook. There is Win XP Professional SP2

How does Solution Manager manage upgrade?

Except get the upgrade key from SM4.0, I do not see any other involvement of SM4.0 in the
upgrade.
However in a recent paper by Jon Reed , he says that you can use SM4.0 to manage your
upgrade.
Please share your opinions. Thanks!

Solution Manager's module Implementation Tools can help to you conduct from a "Fuctional" point of view your entire Upgrade project, further more can help you to rollout if necessary the Upgrade.
For Upgrade Projects the SAP Solution Manager supports both:
- restarting an upgrade project
- perform an upgrade project based on an implementation project
The scope of support for these upgrade-relevant activities with the SAP Solution Manager is the same as for an implementation project, plus some upgrade-specific functions:
a comparison tool which identifies release-specific changes or deletions, if you used SAP reference contents
an upgrade report which gets the upgrade-relevant configuration settings which you must adjust in upgrade or delta customizing, automatically, based on a connection to the target release system
Upgrade-relevant contents are also delivered with the SAP Solution Manager, as an upgrade roadmap and upgrade-specific business scenario and process contents. At the end of the upgrade project, changed or inserted business scenarios and processes and system information are put in a customer-specific repository (Solution Directory), where they are available for production processing.
