Solution Manager Instance

Hi
I am installing a demo box - so not production, and I have no other SAP installs. I want to install and configure SAP BI and Portal and I need Solution Manager within my landscape. How can I install all these onto the same server?
I understand that I cannot install Solution Manager and EP in the same instance, so do I install Solution Manager first and then start a new install for BI and EP - this then becomes a difference instance?
If there is documentation on this then please point me to it, because the Master Guide and Installation Guides for these do not tell me?
Thanks
Al.

Hello Al,
Yes you have to give a different sid for that instance...since it's a different instance .
Please appreciate with points if its helpful.

Setup and Configuration for a Solution Manager instance

I am setting up a Solution Manager instance for a client in Australia.
Currently there is no reference client that I am aware of in Australia for Solution Manager. So this is extremely important to get it right. Also I am an independent contractor, so I am unable to call on any in-house experts from a consulting firm for help.
So I am looking for answers from some experts who have done this before.
Had some training on Solution Manager back in 2002.
Our client wants to setup the solution manager instance to monitor 9 SAP instances
- 3 R/3, DEV, Q/A, PROD
- 3 BI, DEV, Q/A, PROD
- 3 Enterprise Portal, DEV, Q/A, PROD
Solution Manager is running in a separate instance for all those listed above.
In addition to the above the client would also like to user the service desk function of Solution Manager for in-house support of SAP, and push to service desk request onto their support partner and/or SAP directly.
Question:
1) Is it better to use the Solution Manager client 001 or create a separate client for the customer?
2) How would you as the expert configure the service desk component to push service desk requests to the support partner (a 3rd party Service Desk Tool or another Solution Manager instance), and allow the customer to choose to send the request direct to SAP?
3) The client would also like to use the Solution Manager Instance as the CUA environment, is this advisable?
Kind Regards
David Cooper

Hello David,
Please find th answers below:
1. You should use a separate client for solution manager rather than using a standard one
2. You should configure your solution manager as the service desk for all type of support requests.Solution manager can send your requests to SAP and vice-vera.Why do you a third part tool and waste money of the client.Solution manager can do all for you very effectively
3.sure you should configure solution manager as CUA environment,there are no issues with that
Let me know of any questions

Solution Manager instance install with on differnt platform than ERP system

Hello,
I am working on a project to implement Solution Manager 7.0 in our landscape (SAP 4.7). Our current servers are running on HP-UX 11 with Oracle 9.4.0.2 database. We are considering implementing SolMan on a different OS (Linux & Windows the primary candidates, the DB is yet to be determined, but will likely be Oracle 10 or MS SQL) that will allow for easier monitoring for the existing admins. I have heard that if an instance is created on a platfor other than the typy we're already using, that SAP requires an expensive "certification" of this platform that will be added to the existing system. I have heard numbers in the $100,000 range for this, possibly per server. Is this true, and where can I find more information on this subject?
Thank you in advance for your prompt response.

Hi Tom, in SAP that's call Heterogeneous system landscape. You should read this note Note 1067221 - Composite note for heterogeneous installation for mor information about it.
About the "certification" I don't think that's true, because SAP has been working on this from many years.
Hope this could help.
Regards,
Darwin

Problem with Solution Manager wanting to adjust its own instance

I have a situation where under my landscape components --> systems in SMSY where I have a "yellow" exclamation point in a box that says "newer version exists" for my existing solution manager. When I try to adjust, it doesn't let me select the system because they are on the same host. Therefore, I can't do the adjustment. What is the problem? Any ideas how I can do this adjustment? Thanks. This is very important. Thanks.,

Thanks Ragu. I've dug a little deeper and this is what is happening when I try to assign the Solution Manager instance to a logical component:
I receive an "instance
adjustment required" message for the actual solution manager instance
itself, so I had to manually set the product and set it to leading as
leading (even though there was no other solution manager instance).
This means that the solution manager system itself is set to manual
adjustment. I've gotten it to read from the SLD, but it is still acting as though it is missing a NetWeaver ABAP Server on the same host as the Solution Manager.
Here is what I do to get the above issue to reproduce:
I've done more trouble shooting and found that if I go to installed product versions in the Solution Manager System and click on Clean-up Inconsistencies, I get
the attached screenshot showing that a Product SAP NetWeaver with main instance "Application Server ABAP" is inconsistent (on the same server as the Solutiion Manager instance, the Solutioni Manager instance doesn't show up in the System landscape either). Cleaning up the inconsistency doesn't fix the problem (leaves Application Server ABAP) in place. Meaning when I try to fix the inconsistency it won't let me. Thanks for any help, I really need to figure this out. Thanks.

Configuring Solution Manager: Alternative Role to SAP_ALL

This is a general question regarding configuring Solution Manager and note 834534. I am configuring Solution Manager 7.0 at a client site. The main components that I am configuring are on the Monitoring and Operations side; for example, System Monitoring, Service Desk, Issue Management, and Change Management for Maintenance Optimizer. CHaRM will follow later on. Additionally, the client would like to use the project side of Solution Manager.
When I took training for Solution Manager from SAP, the SAP instructor advised the class to have SAP_ALL when configuring Solution Manager The problem I am having is that the client will not issue me SAP_ALL in the Solution Manager instance, regardless of the recommendation in note 834534. I can understand the client's reluctance to issue SAP_ALL, even though Solution Manager is not a financial system in of itself, however, I have found that I am constantly having to ask for authorizations as I step through the wizards and the Scenario-specific settings. When I run into issues which require further investigation by running transactions to check certain settings that are not specifically tiedd to a wizard or scenario-specific setting transaction, I run into further delays as I ask for additional authorizations to troubleshoot issues.
We have implemented the roles and assigned them to my ID in Solution Manager as outlined by the SAP Solution Manager Security Guide to the fullest extent possible; and I have been issued "Basis Roles" that the client issues to their Basis team. Regardless of these actions, I still run into authorization issues.
My question is, apart from the SAP Solution Manager Security Guides recommendations (which does not mention SAP_ALL), is there a role being developed, or has been developed that can be assigned to the Solution Manager configurator in lieu of SAP_ALL (as per note 834534)? I would think that this issue has been raised before, particularly since many companies have implemented SOX controls and are skittish about issuing SAP_ALL.
Your feedback is most appreciated.

Thanks for the reply, Nesimi.
While I appreciate that you do not use SAP_ALL, is that the case when you are configuring a brand new, clean system? Are you using the Configuration Wizards with out SAP_ALL? I ask this because when I ran the first configuration wizard, one of the steps is to create a "configuration user", which creates a user with SAP_ALL. However, I cannot use that wizard generated user ID because it has the role SAP_ALL.
In general, I am operating on 3 sources of information that says I need SAP_ALL to configure the system (not necessarily to operate it):
1. An SAP Instructor for the Solution Manager Operations and Monitoring Class
2. The IMG Activity "Create Configuration User" documenation in SPRO
3. Note 834534
I will review the english version of the link http://help.sap.com/saphelp_smehp1/helpdata/de/40/8ac473d40943ddb23def12bdb33437/frameset.htm that you have thoughtfully provided.
With respect to note 123640, I am not sure if that solves my problem or answers the fundemental question that I have in that given the 3 sources I quoted above. It seems to me that SAP's approach in indicating clearly that they prefer that the configuration user should have SAP_ALL is flawed given today's corporate governence policies. Clearly this recommendation is only for the initial configuration, and SAP_ALL can be taken away and replaced by the roles and recommendations in the SolMan security guide; to maintain Solution Manager. But when it comes down to the question "what do you need to configure Solution Manager, because we won't give you SAP_ALL", I am hard pressed to give an answer despite literally spending hundreds of hours researching "documenation" which does not give clear cut answers. I think SAP needs to address this issue instead of taking the easy way out and saying you need "SAP_ALL" as illustrated in the 3 sources of readily available information cited above.

CATT's and Solution Manager 3.2

Hi, i'm implementing SAP ECC 5.0 with SolManager 3,2.
In the SOLAR02 transaction, in the "test case" tab of a process step, i want to assign a Test Case of type "CATT";
Is it possible to assign a CATT already created in the Solution manager instance? I mean, i dont want to assign or create a CATT from another system.
Thanks in advance!

Thank You Jonathan!
I already tried that, but the only objects i could set centrally for saving in the SolManager system are:
1. eCATT test configuration
2. Manual test cases
I could not assign standard CATT's to be saved centrally in the SolManager.
I do not know if this is a std feature (and CATT's could not be assigned to be saved centrally) or if i'm doing something wrong. Any help is most welcomed.
Thanks for your help.

BI content for Solution Manager 4.0

Hi Experts,
I want to install BI content for Solution Manager 4.0 but i don't know what kind of BI content i need and where can i get some information about this.
if somebody knows somthing , please , let me know.
Thank you.

There isn't a lot of standard content for Solution Manager. It's mostly alerts, server, module, database and overall system information for the environments connected to that Solution Manager instance. The standard DataSources are:
0SM_DSWPBI_BPM                   BPM Data (Alert Data)
0SM_DSWPBI_DB390
0SM_DSWPBI_DB400                DB400 Data
0SM_DSWPBI_DBADA               Adabas Data
0SM_DSWPBI_DBDB2               DB2 Data
0SM_DSWPBI_DBINF                Informix Data
0SM_DSWPBI_DBMSS              SQL Server Data

0SM_DSWPBI_SYSDATA          System Details Data
0SM_DSWPBI_SYSTEM            System Data
There are several InfoCubes, one for each DataSource in the standard content. These InfoCubes are then unioned in a standard content MultiProvider.

System out of memory when exporting/migrating Solution Manager

Dear all,
since we decided to migrate our Solution Manager (win2003/sql server 2005) system to a more appropriate server, we started an export using the NW70sr2 installation master CD, the one we used to install this solution manager instance.
Everything went ok up to the Java export phase, here we caught an out of memory issue, here's the relevant part of the sapinst.dev.log file:

Actually we used a workaroud to complete the phase, ie we menually re-issued the command and changed the heap value from -Xmx512m to -Xmx1024m
Is there a way to defalut the sapinst to pass to the java export command an higher java heap value, ie -Xmx1024m ?
Thanks in advance and cheers.
Franco.

It sounds like you may have a corrupt render file in your 7th episode. You can set in and out points in 5 minute increments and export those segments to narrow down which clip is the offending clip. Then re-render the offending clip.
I hope this helps.

SAP TAO connection to Solution Manager

Hi All,
I have installed SAP TAO 2.0 and I need to connect it to solution manager for license. In TAO configuration, in 'License' tab; all systems stored in SAP Logon are supposed to be listed to select solution manager instance. But in my case I can't find solution manager instance although its parameters are stored in SAP Logon and I have connected to it several times. How can I make TAO read all the systems from SAP Logon? or can I insert parameters of solution manager instance directly into TAO?
Regards,
Abdelaziz

Hello,
Navigate into SAP TAO
Click on the 'Expert' tab
Look for an option 'Further Settings'
Click on 'Use an alternate path to look for the saplogon.ini file'
then browse to where you have your saplogon.ini file saved.
Save this setting and exit out and come back into the application.

How to install PI instance on the same server that has Solution Manager 4?

I am planning to install PI 7 on a windows 2003 server that has Solution manager 4 running on it already.
I am planning to install an additional Oracle instance and put PI on it.
What are the steps involved?
Please advise.
Thanks and regards,
Bhaskar

Barry,
I went throught this link when I firt tried MCOD. may be the mistake I did was that I tired installing two separate instances like Sol Man and XI into the same oracle database. it used to fail at the step of Creating table Spaces.
I tired this when I saw some docs on MCOD (I think from IBM).
May be the approach was wrong.
Let me try this new method of installing two different Oracle instances and put Solution manager on one and XI on the other.
I will update you some time today.
Thanks for the help so far.
Regards,
Bhaskar

Two earlywatch reports for same instance in one Solution manager

Hi
i am trying to create two solutons for early watch reports for same instance. let me explain here.
In SAP Solution Manager: Active Solutions >>> i have two solutions like this
Solution                                                          Early Watch Alert Reports
Avnet Global Solutions         >>>> here i have configured the PR1, PB1 PCB instances
PR1                                      >>>>>here i configured the only PR1 instance.
so i have configured the same instance in two solutions.
i am not gettting the early watch report automatically after after configuring like this . but manually working fine.
when i kick of the report manually working fine.
here my question is ... do i can create two early watch reports in one solution manage for same instance or not. if yes then why i am not getting report automatically.
Thank you
Vish

Dear Paul,
Thank you for your response
this is what i got from SAP.
Hello Vish,
You can have the same system in different solutions. With regards
to why the report is not generating automatically, please review
SDCCN on the satellite system.
I dialed into the system and found that the SDCCN for PB1 is not
downloading the sessions from Solution Manager.
I would recommend that you deactivate and then activate SDCCN.
Tcode SDCCN -> GoTo - Settings - Task Processor - Deactivate
Tcode SDCCN ->Utilities -> Activate
Then create a Refresh Session task and verify if the upcoming sessions
are getting pulled down to PB1.
If you need help with this, please let me know if it is fine with you
if I make the necessary changes to get the system working.
Thank you in advance and best regards,

What is Main Instance in Solution Manager

Hi all
I read many times we have Main Instances for satelite system in Solution Manager.
Actually what is it ?
Thank you
Halomoan

Hello Halomoan,
Well, I think the following should clear your doubts.
Here, I am giving you an example of creating a new system in SolMan System Landscape.
--> Goto SMSY
--> Right click on Systems from System Landscape tab select Create new system with Assistant.
--> Click on Continue.
--> Enter SID, Description, Select Product from the list and version in the following list. Enter the installation number.
--> Click on Continue. Here I am selecting SAP Solution Manager as Product and Solution Manager 4.0 as version.
Now, you will see the following list with the check boxes next to it to choose.
   SAP Solution Manager
   Plug Ins for Satellite Systems
   Solution Manager Diagnostics
   Agents for Satellite Systems
If you choose SAP Solution Manager, and    Plug Ins for Satellite Systems it will give you an error saying Only one ABAP main instance can be flagged as relevant. So, only one ABAP system it lets you choose.
Hope it helps. Let me know if you have any more questions on this.
Cheers,
Satish.

How to stop SAP Solution Manager Diagnostics instance?

Dear community.
I've got a question. We are working on solman 4.0 with installed SMD (Solution Manager Diagnostics). For this tool is runnig an separated java instance on our server. The problem is, that we don't need the SMD, becaucse we have no JAVA systems to monitor. Is it possible to stop the SMD instance? If yes, how can I do it?
Many thanks in advance...
Michael

Solution manager itself has a java stack so are you saying you don't monitor solution manager java side of things?
SMD does both ABAP and Java application monitoring with varying levels of details, interactions, reporting etc so disabling SMD, to me, defeats the whole purpose of having Solution Manager 4
SAP wants customers to use this tool as best practice and guidelines suggest
On the other hand what advantage do you have of stopping this instance? It would still be sitting in your landscape taking up resources and should you come to use things like SLD and other java applications which I believe will be sooner than later you will have to setup/configure SMD again.
SAP best practice is to have a single SLD and this will definitely be monitored using SMD
