Solution Manager as CEN and PI 7.1

Hi,
We have a PI 7.1 sytem that has a Message-Based Monitoring that is configured LOCALLY via Runtime Workbench -> Alert configuration (explained here : https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/e05ad5a6-4b4f-2b10-df94-9b9e0392d306).
Also we have Solution Manager 4.0 SPS17 and is configured and a Central monitoring system (CEN). Soon, we are going to configure the ALM in the solution manager.
However, I need to know how the Message-Based Monitoring integrated the ALM mechanism of the CEN system ? did anyone implement it ? moreover, can we configure the Message-Based Monitoring via the solution manager to prevent any configuration being done locally ?
Please advice,
Dimitry Haritonov

You can also setup an Alert Management (ALM) either on Solution Manager or any Netweaver based system. ALM allows you control alerts more narrowly. You could have a rule for that specific system where no alerts are sent given a specific time window.
It's great for setting rules that say - send an email when XX system has an issue during these hours. Then after work or during the night shift, send an SMS text instead of an email. ALM is very powerful and can be used by all SAP solutions - ERP, SCM, Solution Manager, Portal - etc etc. It's basically a rules based system for routing alerts. Also allows you to do escalations and force people to confirm alerts when they have acknowledged them.
Hope this gives you another option.

Solution Manager - NWA & CEN - How they fit in ?

Hi,
I have been working with XI and have come across the central monitoring system CEN and the netweaver administrator (NWA) tools.
Does anyone know how they fit into Solution Manager. Especially why you have solution Manager Diagnostics and NWA....are they not the same thing?
Currently it looks like we'll have an XI landscape being monitored by CEN & NWA and then the same landscape also being monitored by solution manager. This seems like a double up of work to me.
Thanks
Jim

Hi Pascal,
Thank for that...
Would i be right in saying then that CEN is part of solution manager 4.0 i.e comes with webas 640/700 anyway ??
So for a "perfect/easy" support environment you would have sol man 4.0 managing all your abap components from both a read/write point of view and then sol man managing j2ee area on a read only basis while NWA administering your j2ee's on a read/write basis.
And ideally have all these components looking at the same SLD.
Hope above make sense
Cheers
Jim

Solution Manager as CEN - Auto-Reaction Method suspension

Hi Gurus,
after a few days I have successfully installed my monitoring infrastructure, based on my Solution Manager working as Central Monitoring System (CEN). Now SSM is connected to many SAP istances and I receive an email when some problem occur, for example when an istance doesn't run properly.
A simple question: while offline backup is running for one of my instances I don't obviously want to receive emails, so is it possible to manage Auto-Reaction Methods based on specific periods during the day?
Thanks all!
Fabrizio

Solution Manager 4.0 and SLD automatic population

Our Solution Manager 4.0 installation was failing repeatedly while importing the CIM objects into the SLD. So here is what we did:
1.During installation we pointed the Solution Manager data supplier to the production SLD. The production SLD is on 640 wheras this is on 700.
2.After installation we created the Solution Manager (Admin) SLD by creating all necessary roles, groups, users and started importing the CIM and the delta.
3.We setup the data supplier of the production SLD to populate the Solution Manager (Admin) SLD. It looks like it is not getting populated and we got the following error in the production SLD:
#73 01/09/2007 12:39:15.173 [Thread-124] WARNING com.sap.lcr.sagent.BuilderDirector: Warning: SLD target system http://host:50100/sld sld/active not available (incoming data will be ignored).
Thrown:
com.sap.lcr.api.cimclient.CIMClientException: Received response is not a CIM Operation Response! Check "http://host:50100/sld" is the correct URL for the SLD CIM Object Manager and that user "user" has access to the SLD via http.

But this is the URL we use to go to the Solution Manager SLD!!! and the user is also correct.
1.I want to setup a way where the Solution Manager (Admin) SLD is populated from the production SLD every so often thru SMSY_SETUP -> Expert Settings -> Write back into SLD.
2.I want to use this Solution Manager (SLD) as the Admin SLD for NWA.
3.How do I know that the Object Manager of is up/down in the Solution Manager(SLD) and maybe restart it, while I can see that the SLD server is up.
3.I Manually setup some of the technical systems in the Solution Manager SLD by logging onto it http://host:port/sld, but I cannot see those in System Landscape in Solution Manager.
Can somebody please tell me how I can proceed from here.
A quick response would be appreciated with points.

Solution Manager 4.0 and Program Implementation

We are implementing an SAP Program over few years and intend to use SolMan 4.0. Can you please provide advice how to implement our scenario.
We have an SAP Program that consists of many projects. At the Program level we have a lot of common activities and documentation [e.g. Program Charter, Macro Blueprint (explained below) Change Management, Communication plan...]. Some of the projects have started in parallel, while others will follow,
All of the projects will share the information at the Program level.
What would be the right approach to implement such an SAP Program in SolMan?
Thank you.
In Macro Blueprint, we are looking at our business processes and links between them at a high level for several core areas (involving FI/CO, PS, HR, CRM...). After this exercise we will be doing Blueprint phases for individual projects.

Solution Manager 4.0 and SAP R3 4.7E - Business Process Repository Question

When I am in solution manager setting up my business processes (solar01) to select my logical component with the drop-down I do not see my SAP R3 ERP 4.7 system available for selection. They do exist in my SLD (SMSY) and all the components with the 4.7 system. Does anyone know why they are not showing up in the drop-down for business process repository selection help?
Thanks

Hi,
For how long the installation process has been running. Check the following.
1. The virtual memory page size that you have assigned.
2. The hard disk free space.
3. The Virtual memory should be optimized size, should not be larger than the free space available.
These are performance optimization settings.
I guess the installation would take around ten hours, I am not sure.
But one thing is sure <b>SAP</b> is not that bad to get aborted abruptly.
Keep Patience while installing. Before that take care that your system satisfies, requirements.
Hope I was clear. Feel free to get back, incase you face any problem.

Solution manager 7.0 and Non-SAP Sys. for managing whole IT infrastructure

Hello Gurus,
ive tried to search the allmighty google and SDN network for an answer how can we use the SolMan 7.0 for external applications (non-SAP).
What is our concern is that basically the Sol Man is described for using with whole SAP product environment. project management, chagne management, support, updating and etc.
My idea is:
Can we use SolMan for describing our whole IT projects and processes?
What i mean is if for example we have a payroll system which is running in non-SAP environment, can we describe the project for it? track the changes to it? document everything and etc. Its like to use the SolMan for whole IT infrastructure no matter if the application is SAP or non-SAP environment.
Best regards

Hello there,
SAP Solution Manager contains some functionality to work with non SAP products. For example, in transaction SMSY (system landscape) you can define non SAP products and therefore non SAP systems, although the functionatlity that you get thus is somewhat limited (no automatic refresh, no logon from RFC destination, etc).
The same applies for the project (SOLAR_PROJECT_ADMIN) part of Solution Manager. It is possible to assign a logical component for a non SAP product to a project, then in the project it is possible to describe the process and document it but it will not be possible to use the more SAP oriented functionality like links to IMG projects, etc.

Solution Manager - Import buffer and duplicate imports in maintenance cycle

Hello,
I am trying to understand how Normal and Urgent Correction work in a maintenance cycles.
I am using SOLMAN 4.0 and I would like to know how the import buffers are managed.
When I have completed a maintenance cycle and all my transport request have been imported in the production system, I want to switch the status of the maintenance cycle back to development in order to complete my previous open normal corrections. I have read in many places that if I act in this way, not only my new corrections but all the old correction will be imported in the quality and production systems because the import buffers do not get empty.
For example, If I decide to have 10 normal corrections but eventually only 9 corrections are imported in quality and production systems, when I switch back to development and I complete the 10th correction, this correction will be imported together with the other 9 corrections or this will be imported alone since the other nine correction have been imported before?
How it works?
I appreciate suggestions.
Thanks
Antonello

Hi Gert-Jan,
We do the same and we don't face this issue. There is thus a solution.
I never had this case, this might be a parameter in your QAS refresh procedure.
1/ If you empty your production import buffer (meaning you import it all to production) before tacking the production copy you will never have this issue.
2/ If you have some transportd left in the import buffer of production , you have this issue ? I guess this is our case
I will try to reformulate the case.
The refresh of QAS is causing the lost of some customizing that were not yet imported in production but was imported in QAS prior to the refresh of QAS.
When you reimport the "overwritten" transports in QAS after the refresh, this transport is removed from the QAS import buffer and going too the import buffer of production.
A/The same transport is now twice in the import buffer of production ? we don't have this in our landscape (I even think this was not possible)
B/Or in between this transport has been imported in production and thus you are right it falls in the import buffer of production again with another sequence.
Thank you to confirm your case A or B ?.

Solution Manager 3.2 and BW 3.5

We are trying to figure out if it is possible to connect Sol Man 3.2 to BW. Our current thinking is that this is not possible as the config within BW is significantly different from R/3 and ECC. Furthermore the development tab in SOLAR02 only seems to contain standard dev objects.
I was hoping someone who has had experience in this area could confirm or deny this.
Thank you
Erik van Berkel

So far we have only found information about the 1.50 BPR content containing some BW information. But that for the rest the functionality is not supported.
We'll live with this assumption for now. If anyone has more information please reply.

Workflow in Solution Manager for approval and notification

hi@ll
i want to know if there is a function or customizing feature for implmenting these two kinds of workflows in the solman:
-for notification: if the status value of a document in the SOLAR01/02 will change, can automatocalliy be sent an email?
-for approval: ChaRM?
thank you
Marco

Hi Marco,
In answer to the first question, for SOLAR01/02, no standard setting is available. It's got to be custom built, if the project budget allows
As of SolMan 7.0 Enterprise Edition, it seems there are some preconfigured Workflows.
I am hopeful that they are talking of what you seem to want. Please check page 9 of 14 of [this|https://websmp208.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700000225832008E.pdf] document.
If your client is on 'SAP Enterprise Support', you are entitled to get SolMan Enterprise Edition !

Solution Manager and external Central Monitoring system

We have a Solution Manager system SOL and a Central Monitoring system
CEN. The monitored system SDS is configured to report CCMS data to CEN
and I wanted SOL to be able to access this data. After configuring SDS
to CEN, CEN that the following entry in RZ21:
SDS#SDS_RZ20_COLLECT#SDS_RZ20_ANALYZE
After performing the wizard in SOL, SOL now has the following entries
in RZ21:
SDS2#SM_SDS2CLNT200_READ#SM_SDS2CLNT200_TRUSTED
This would indicate to me that SOL is reading the CCMS information
directly from the monitored system, rather than via CEN.
In the 'Setup System Monitoring' of Solution Manager the Central
Monitoring System and CEN destination are SOL and NONE respectively.
Is this configuration correct, and if not how do I correctly configure
it?
Is the monitored system now only reporting data to SOL, or is it
reporting to both CEN and SOL?
Regards,

Display SXMB_MONI XML errors in Solution Manager (CEN)

Hello All,
Requirement is to display the XML error messages in SXMB_MONI in our Solution Manager (CEN)? Could you please let me know the major steps that would be involved on the same?
Please share your thoughts!
Thank You,
Antarpreet

My apologies not reading it properly....
Solution manager also usess the same concepts of the CCMS as we do it in XI, so you can setup the XI envinorment details in solution manager and try to capture the alerts....
Here are the Steps:
Prereq:
All Satellite systems connected from Solution Manager on the "Transaction SMSY" screen.
Prepare RFC connections between Solution Manager and Satellite systems for data collection ( RZ20 Data collection RFCs)
Steps:
1. Register "SAPCCMSR" and "SAPCCM4.X" on Sattilite Systems to report ABAP and Java stacks in local systems and report to Solution manager System
2. On Solution Manager System ( Acting as Central System) configure CCMS monitoring sets fromRZ20.
3. RZ21 --> configure CCMS pings alert monitoring.
all info with step by step guide avalible from Solution Manager configuration guides and http://service.sap.com/rkt
