Solution Manager key for ERP upgrade for the same system ID on a different

Hi there,
We have migrated our R/3 DEV system (4.7) running on Windows 2003 to 64 bit and copied existing system using system copy for testing ECC 6.0 upgrades. Both the DEV systems, with the same system id, will be available for a short period. However, the new system, which also has same system id i.e DEV is not created in the Solution Manager landscape, as the system id with the same name already exists. Both the systems are created in SLD.
Can anyone clarify whether i can create the license key from the existing DEV system and use the same key for upgrade of DEV system running on different server? If not I will have to delete the current DEV system and create new DEV system running on 64 bit.
Thanks in advance,
Regards
Chandu

Hi,
You cannot use the old solman key as systems are on different server.
I think you have to delete the old Dev system and then generate new solman key.
Thanks

1 SAP Console for 2 clients (on the same system)

Hi,
We are merging two business units on 1 SAP system. In the beginning they will both have their own client on the same system.
Within both BU's SAP Console is being used. Can we use one SAP Console for both clients?
Or are separate SAP Consoles needed?
If it is possible to use 1 SAP Console, please let me know how (what to do).
Thanks in advance for your help.
Cheers,
Thomas.

Instead of read-only access to each other's iTunes directories, I followed instructions posted elsewhere on this forum and have ITunes in both accounts pointing to the same physical file. From my account, I can see all the songs, both the ones loaded from CDs and the ones downloaded from ITunes (using my ITunes account). From her account, she can see the songs I loaded from CD, but not any of the songs I've downloaded.
If I share my ITunes library, then she can open the shared file and see all of the songs, downloaded as well as those from CDs. However, if she selects any of the downloaded songs, she cannot put them into playlists or otherwise copy them to her IPod.
She doesn't have an ITunes account. Her ITunes is set up to use my account and is one of the two authorized "Computers" for my account. I thought that going into ITunes and authorizing my ITunes-account would have solved the problem, but it doesn't.
I'm running the latest ITunes (Macintosh) software, version 7.0 (7.0).

Re: Kindly help Error: Solution Manager key is invalid during installation

Dear member
I need an urgent assistence if any buddy can help me I would be very great full, I am receiving an error during the installation of SAP ERP 2004 SR1 IDES, ABAP system central instance as for this I have to give a key to SAPINST which I generated from Solution Manager 4.0 I striclty followed the same step which is defined in SAPNote 811923. But the SAPINST not accepting the key it gives me an error "SAP Solution manager key is invalid ".
So guys any idea how can I get rid of this
Kind Regards
Sohail

Hi Syed,
the installation asks you for 'central SAP system' which must match the string for 'message server' when generating the key in solution manager exactly. maybe you can double check if you used the correct hostname (not FQDN) and made no typo?...
hope this helps...
cheers,
Walter

Request Solution Manager Key

Hi,
I am trying to install SAP on a test machine just for training and testing purposes and this test machine will not be connected to any current landscape. Now the installation is asking to enter Solution manager key. I searched for how to generate it and a found some articles and SAP notes but my question is: do I have to generate Solution manager key using our production Solution manager? When I initiated the setup, I selected to install only ABAP and SAP R/3 Enterprise. Now how can I complete my installation? If I don?t want to use our production Solution manager, do I have to restart the installation and select to install solution manager in addition to ABAP and R/3 Enterprise?
Regards,
Wilson

Hi Mark,
Thanks for your help, but seem some the flag function is missing or dim, can you address for me, thanks!
In the SAP Solution Manager system, Call the system landscape maintenance (transaction SMSY), in your Solution Manager system. Create the system for which you want to generate the installation key, in the system landscape:
1. Select the landscape component Systems, and choose Create New System from the context menu.
2. Enter the system ID as system in the next dialog box.
3. Choose the product and product version from the possible entries help. Save.
4. Complete the system data as far as possible.
5. Save your entries.
Generate the key:
1. Choose Other Object in the System Landscape , menu.
2. Set the System flag, [ I COULD NOT FOUND THIS FLAG] and choose the system to be installed or upgraded, from the possible entries help. If you created the system in the SAP Solution Manager, in the previous step, choose this system.
3. Choose Generate Installation/Upgrade Key.
4. Enter the required data and choose Generate Key.
**The system displays the key.

Wilson

Urgent need for the creation of solution manager key please

Hello
Can i please ask you to create a solution manager key for me ?
i am stuck in my test installation of ECC6.
Here are my details :
       Instance name : sapdb1
       Instance number : 01
       Computer name : ap-hp1
Kind regards
Christophe

Hi Chris,
I understand the urgency. There are only two ways you can get a solution manager key. One by yourself. Otherwise, please create a message with SAP requesting a solution manager key temproarily. Unfortunately, even though we can create a solution manager key, it is not advisable to distribute the key in forums.
Hope this helps.
Thank you.

Solution Manager Key for EP '04 - EP 2004s

Well, we just started the upgrade of our EP '04 SP18 to EP 2004s ST11. However, the PREPARE is rejecting the Solution Manager Key (generated in SSM 3.2). We came across OSS Note 811923 which says:
For SAP ERP 2004 (SAP ECC 5.0), you require SAP Solution Manager 3.1 with Support Package 20, or SAP Solution Manager 3.2 with Support Package 4. You can also use SAP Solution Manager 4.0.
For products of SAP Business Suite 2005 (including SAP NetWeaver 2004s), you require at least SAP Solution Manager 4.0 with Support Package 9.
I guess we are hosed up until we upgrade our Sap Solution Manager system to 4.0. Does anyone know a work-around for this?
thanks in advance,
Steven McElwee, Duke University

Hi Steven,
Not sure of any workaround for it but you have a couple of options;
1) Install a new solution manager 4.0 as a temporary work around to get a valid key
2) Raise an OSS message to request support to assist you.
Solution manager is really now a required utility system for your core apps. Even after you have the migration key it is likely that post migration you will have issues that may require patches from the service market place. As of April 2nd this year you need solution manager (4.0) Diagnostics for this.
For these reasons I would urge you to move to Solution Manager 4.0 sooner rather than later.
Cheers

Solution Manager Key info for Migration

Hi Guru's,
As we are planning to migrate / system copy all systems like SAP Portal , BI & XI to a new hardware, from P5-P590 to P6-P570 (The OS version, TL level and Patch Level for the both LPAR's remains same, i.e No change on OS versions).
My question here is:
We have generated a solution manager key for all systems while installation, if we migrate any SAP system to a new hardware i.e. P6-P570, will the solution manager keys work in new environment for all systems? Our Solution manager server is also on P5-P590 environment.
As we are planning to migrate solman server also to a new env (P6-P570) from P5-P590, if the solmanger key doesnu2019t work on new env, do we need to migrate the solman server first to a new env and generate a new solman key and assign the key to the migrated systems on new env.
Note: We are doing as is migration, i.e. hostname, SID & IP remains same.
I hope my question is clear and understandable.
Please provide your valuable inputs / suggestions for the migration and also provide any link for the migrations.
Points will be awarded for each valuable answer.

Sreedhar Gunda

Hi,
If your operating system is Unix ( any flavour ) then you can create the same mount points on new hardware ( except rootvg - operating system ) and copy entire contents from old hardware's mount points to new one. You need to take care of users , groups like ORA<SID>, and <SID>ADM , DBA, SAPSYS etc. In that scenario your hardware key will change so you need to apply new license in marketplase.
Better to migrate rootvg from your existing OS if possible , in that scenartio you need not take care of OS users , groups etc.

Process for applying for Solution Manager Key?

I have to install a NW2004s system in a AIX Machine.
I understand that i need a solution manager key for installation. We dont have solution Manager installed in our Landscape. But i came to know that i can request for a solution manager key from SAP
Please let me know the website, process for applying for Solution Manager key

Balaji,
This is interesting, SAP is pushing customers to have solution Manager installed with features like Solution Manager Key, Maintainance Optimizer etc. It will get difficult for customers who do not have solution Manager running on their site.
You will have to create support message under the component XX-SER-SMKEY and request for solution manager key, provide them all the details of your system.
Cheers,
Nisch

Solution Manager Key for Java AS

I'm new to SAP Netweaver so maybe this question has been answered before.
I need to install SAP Netweaver AS Java for development/QA purposes. I understand that I need also Solution manager key for installation so I installed another Solution Manager System.
When I enter to Solution Manager http://<server>:50000 I get "System Landscape Directory is not accessible. Only local system can be administered". What does it mean? I remember I chose to create local SLD.
I saw also in couple of threads the following:
Just go to transaction SMSY transaction of solman and locate the system for which you need to generate Solman Key and just right clilck on that system...You will find the option of Generating Solution Manager Key....
I don't have such an option when I enter to Solution Manager.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Haim Beyhan

Hi,
For Solman key generation refer the link below, which has the screen shots.

Which parameters are required for generating a solution manager key?

Hello All,
I generated a key in Solution Manager, to install a SAP NW 2004s SR1.
But I receive an error during the installation from the SAPINST:
"SAP Solution manager key for the instance number... is invalid ".
I already changed the parameters for generating the key, changed the instance number, hostname, but I still receive the same error.
Could someone tell me which parameters exactly are required for generating a solution manager key?
thanks
Thomas

Dear Sri,
this is exactly what I have entered, I still get the same error message.
My entries in SAPINST:
SAPinst founds one system instance on the host with
the Instance number 00,
the Instance name SCS00.
And ask for the Central Instance parameters:
there I enter 01 for the central Instance number,
the hostname
and the solution manager key generated for the instance number 01!
best regards
Thomas

I'm not sure what you mean with "I need a list" but the installation guide is available at the usual places:
http://service.sap.com/instguides
--> SAP Components
--> SAP Solution Manager
--> Release 7.0
Check the "Master Guide SAP Solution Manager 7.0" for an overview, which CDs/DVDs you need.
The installation guide itself is also available on that site.
SolMan 7.0 SR3 is not available on 32bit platforms.

It is illegal to provide keys here.
You have to install a solution manager first before you can install an ERP 6.0 system - or open an OSS call if your Solution Manager is not (yet) available.
