SAP Solution Manager Contractual Requirements

Hi,
This has probably been asked and answered plenty of times before but I hope someone can guide me in the right direct. I work for a company that who's basis folks decided that they were not going to implement or use Solution Manager. I am under the understanding and have read that for customers to get support, they must implement Solution Manager. That it is a "contractual requirement" that certain components be implemented. Would anyone know what those components are? Does anyone know of any SAP Notes that speaks to this? I would like to change some minds around here.
Please and Thank You!
Joe

The requirement is (basically spoken), that, if you want to get Enterprise Support (for what you pay the 22 % annual maintenance) then you have to implement the Solution Manager Enterprise Edition.
What you will actually factually NEED to implement depends solely on your contract - that's why you can't find any public information.
If you have e. g. a SAP certified competence center (or COE) you have to ocnfigure and use certain functionality to gain points for your recertification.
I'd check the contract, it will tell you in detail what you will need to implement.
We also decided to not implement certain functionalities because the effort of implementing them and keeping them up-to-date is much more work (for our small basis troup) than what's the outcome, despite many nice powerpoints. We do only, what's necessary to fulfill our contract.
Generally spoken, you will need the SolMan to get the fixes and patches you pay your maintenance for. This does not even need to be done in a real configured and connected system in the Solution Manager but you will need to have it up and running to press on a button to confirm your download basket...

Upgrade CRM 3.0 to CRM 5.0 -Is solution manager by SAP required?

Hello CRM gurus,
We are currently running on CRM version 3.0 and planning an upgrade to CRM 5.0.
Is solution manager absolutely required for this upgrade. I know that SAP heighly recommends it but is it absoutely required.
Also, could you please give me few inputs if you did the upgrade with/without the solution manager?
Thanks for your inputs,
Prasoon

Hi Prasoon,
in the <a href="http://service.sap.com/~sapidb/011000358700005413872005E">CRM 5.0 Upgrade Master Guide</a> I found this:
"Use of SAP Solution Manager is mandatory for mySAP CRM 2005. When you install SAP CRM 5.0 ABAP server or upgrade to this release, you are asked to enter a key generated by the Solution Manager. For more information, see the installation or upgrade guide for SAP CRM 5.0."

Is Solution Manager required for ECC 6.0 upgrade?

We will upgrade our system from 4.7 to ECC 6.0. Is Solution Manager a required tool in ECC 6.0? My understanding is Solution Manager has to be run on a different server, ie. we will have to buy a new server. We have a small SAP implementation with only FI & CO modules, so we are trying to cut our costs if we could. Can anybody share their experience? Thanks for any input.

In an Upgrade , Solution Manager is required for Upgrade Keys and downloading the support packs . Now a days to download the support packs you have to approve it in Solution Manager otherwise it won't show up in your download basket.
May be SAP can provide you the keys & approve the SPs ( they used to do that before ) , in that case it isn't required.
You can also manage your upgrade project in Solman . Sooner or later you need to install solution manager. it's a nice system.Many good features like central monitoring, early watch alert etc etc ...
Thanks

Solution manager landscape ?

Does Solution Manager landscape requires a typical 3 system landscape or is it like
one SOLMAN server for all the landscape.

Hello,
the technical prerequisites for Business Process Monitoring are described in SAP note 784752. Otherwise you find plenty of information in the Media Library under https://service.sap.com/bpm
If you need functional consultants or not is somewhat depending on the scope you want to use for BPMon. You will see that BPMon provides a broad scope of out-of-the-box functionality which can be application related but can also be only used by technical guys, e.g. IDOC, qRFC, tRFC, File or background job monitoring.
So there is no general answer to it. If you want to do full-blown BPMon then you will also need functional expertise.

Is it a must to use Solution manager for ECC 6.0 upgrade

Is it a must to use Solution Manager for ECC 6.0 (FICO & HR) upgrade? I am told Solution Manager is required only if it has ABAP and JAVA stacks, or involves Enhancement Packages; and could be optional if it is only ECC 6.0 with ABAP stacks.

Hi,
I'm having a difficult time finding some guidance for setting up our R/3 Enterprise system in solman properly, so that I can create the upgrade XML file required to go directly to ERP 6.0 EHP4.
I've set up the R/3 system fine, but when i create a maintenance transaction i cannot for the life of me figure out how to tell it I want to go from r/3 to ERP6 ehp4.
Any docs out there for this?
Thanks!
I figured it out... i had to add the R/3 Enterprise logical components to my system landscape. After that I was able to select R/3 as the initial data in the maintenance transaction and then the system i wanted to upgrade, and then the option to upgrade.
Never mind!

Solution manager & XI

Hi,
what is the link between SAP Solution manager & XI?
How are they intergrated? which one is used for integrate both? Is there any tool?
Does SAP Solution manager is required for XI? For what purpose?
Please answer my questions.. (plz Dont give any links..Just answer in words)
Thanks

Hello Silviya,
As XI, PI 7.0 exacty is a NW2004s product, sorry! now this is called NW 7.0, them you need a Solman system in order to get the installation key for the PI 7.0 installations.
This is the only prerrequisite between PI 7.0 and Solman 4.0.
After, as Solman has its own SLD, you can decide that your XI system landscape uses or not this SLD, of the Solman, as central SLD for all your system landscapes, or not, you can choose which SLD to use.
This is the only relation that they can have, that XI systems use or not the SLD from Solman system.
Apart from that, you can configurate the XI systems as satellites of solman, in this case you can manage the XI implementation project from solman system, you can monitor the XI systems from solman, etc, the usuall tasks that a solman can do for a satellite system.
The BPM from PI 7.0 has nothing to do with the Business Process Monitoring in Solman system, these are two different things.
The BPM in PI 7.0 is how you define the coreography of your xml messages inside the PI, this has nothing to do with the BPM in Solman that is an scenario to monitor business steps in your system landscapes.
Hope this helps,
Dolores

ABAP sneak preview (NSP) patch without Solution Manager after patch 11

I'm wondering if there is any plan to allow us ABAP sneak preview users to patch our system beyond patch level 11. So far I kept my NSP system up-to-date by patching it regularly. But now the Solution Manager is required to download the current patch level 12.
Is there any SolMan sneak preview available? Is there any add-on to upgrade the NSP itself into a SolMan system? - After all SolMan runs on 2004s ...
I noticed that trial version with SP12 is out - does this mean that the new strategy is to replace with each and every SP the Sneak-Preview-System? If there wasn't the lengthy (and often painful) setup I wouldn't mind. On top one would have to export and re-import all developments and configurations one would like to keep. Can you (SAP) not simply provide for us non-SolMan-havers the Service Packs as a simple and much more compact download (compared to the entire NSP download) ?

Hi George,
Try to delete the registry keys mentioned here Re: How to uninstall Netweaver 7.0 ABAP trial version ?
To use it, run the clean up tool for the registry, press the radio button for 'Uninstall Service', enter 'NSP' for SID and '00' for the number.
This will only delete the registry entries for the application server, not for the database.
To access the DB via MMC, the service <b>SAP DB WWW</b> must be started. To do so, go to 'Start'->'Run...' and enter 'net start sapdbwww'. After the service is started, you can use the database manager within SAP MMC or just browse to <a href="http://localhost:8000/sap/bc/gui/sap/its/webgui?sap-client=000">http://localhost:8000/sap/bc/gui/sap/its/webgui?sap-client=000</a>, which will actually use the same HTML UI.
Anyway, if the uninstallation runs normal, you shouldn't have any problems with registry keys.
Try this:
- Unistall system and DB
- Use the registry clean tool
- Delete the folder of InstallShield (usually C:\Program Files\Common Files\InstallShield\Universal\SAP)
- Reboot your system
- Start the installation again without running any application (no firewall, antivirus etc.)
Hope this helps.

Klaus

Required "/" (root) file system size on UNIX for Solution Manager.

Hello SAP Gurus,
   I am setting up SAP Solution Manager 3.2 on HP-UX. It is asking me about 350MB free sapce on "/" file system for Central Instance installation and about 120MB free sapce on "/" file system for Database Instance installation.
   I am installaing everything on to shared disk which mounted under /usr/sap. Why it needs free sapce in "/" file system. Is there any workaround to get rid of this requirement, as I have very less free sapce on "/" file system and I don't want to take the risks involved in increasing this size.
   Are there any SAP recommended sizes for "/" file system?
   I stuck in the middle of setting up SAP landscape on HP-UX (11.23). I searched through the Installation documents but I couldn't find any thing helpful in this regard. It is urgent requirement to set up this so please let me know any solution or workaround ASAP.
   Any help is greatly appriciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Vaibhav.
Normally "canonical path not available for (folder name)" means:
1. Wrong username/password. Please double check you credentials.
2. The resource cannot be linked from the portal server. Please be sure that you can connect to the next ports in windows server from the Unix Server:
a. NetBIOS Session Service TCP 139 This port is used to connect file shares for example.
b. TCP 445 The SMB (Server Message Block) protocol is used among other things for file sharing in Windows NT/2000/XP. In windows NT it ran on top of NetBT (NetBIOS over TCP/IP), which used the famous ports 137, 138 (UDP) and 139 (TCP). In Windows 2000/XP/2003, Microsoft added the possibility to run SMB directly over TCP/IP, without the extra layer of NetBT. For this they use TCP port 445.
I hope these things help somebody.

Is Logical System required for Solution Manager to work?

Hi all
We will be upgrading to SAP ERP in the near future and will have to use Solution Manager.
We only have one company code and no business areas in our configuration. So that, we do not need ALE, consequently, we have not defined/used a logical system.
Do we now need to define a logical system and assign our client to it, in order to use Solution Manager?
tia
Manuel

Hi Manuel,
in logical components the term "Logical System" is used to discribe the combination of system and client in an ABAP system. This does not mean you have to define logical systems in ALE customizing. That is not required as far as I know.

Andreas
