Re: Solution Manager & SAP Netweaver

Hi,
I would like to know about the solution manager, whether it is pre-configured one SAP R/3 or external tool for monitoring sap.
SAP R/3 is an ERP. If i need to install BW then i need Netweaver to be installed to have components like BW APO XI etc.
My understanding is rite or ...
Please give more information about solution manager.

Hi,
The SAP NetWeaver technology platform is a comprehensive integration and application platform
that helps reduce the total cost of ownership (TCO). It facilitates the integration and alignment of
people, information, and business processes across organizational and technological boundaries. SAP
NetWeaver easily integrates information and applications from virtually any source.
SAP ERP is the underlying technology on which all the packages work like SAP BW, EP, NW etc.
SAP Solution Manager is SAP's new service and support platform that helps to implement and operate SAP solution efficiently.
SAP Solution Manager consists of:
1. Central documentation of system landscapes and core business processes
2. Implementation tools, key functional implementation aspects such as blueprinting, configuration and testing
3. Access to SAP Support Services and Best Practices
4. Periodic service level reporting and real-time monitoring of system components and business processes
5. Advanced message handling for fast problem analysis and resolution including the SAP Note Assistant and a direct connection to the SAP Support Back Office.
Note : Be aware that you require an SAP Solution Manager system (minimum release 3.2 SP8) to install or upgrade to SAP NetWeaver 7.0. An SAP Solution Manager system is required to generate the SAP Solution Manager key needed during the installation or upgrade process. Without this key, the
installation or upgrade process cannot continue. For more information, see SAP Note 805390.
For more informaton on SAP NW & SOLMAN you can download the guides from SMP :

Hello Richard,
(1) regarding network connections see document [Draft:Technical Support Network Connections for VAR Scenario|http://service.sap.com/~form/sapnet?_SHORTKEY=00200797470000089947&_OBJECT=011000358700000880802009E] as overview and with a lot of detailed information.
(2) yes, you have to setup once all your customer connections at the beginning but then only add/remove with customer contract changes
(3) the workaround by sending by email can handled a anexception. EWA has to be done for productive systems like nowadays done by SAP. Additional EWA services could meas additional business case for a VAR - that's contract between VAR and customer.
(4) whatever you think may be a business to sell - do it ! (and get a monetary bonus from your boss

Sub Business Area
Test Case Description
Test Case Details
Transaction Codes
Priority of Test Cases
Can I create a structure of a project in the development system in which I have 12 Test Plans and n number of Test Cases under every Test Plan? The structure would have place holder for each test case in which I can upload the Test Cases later. Is that possible?

Yes, you can create project structure before using solar01 tcode. later once your test cases (either manual or automatic) are ready then you can upload them using solar02 on test cases tab,

SAP Solution Manager 7.0 Update into EHP1

Dear experts,
i'm planning to update a SAP Solution Manager SP15 into EHP1.
From the SAP Service Marketplace : service.sap.com/swdc, SAP Support Packages, Entry by Application Group, SAP Technology Components, SAP Solution Manager, SAP Solution Manager 7.0, SAP Stack: source stack (15), target stack (EHP1 SP21) THEN validate the download files from the Maintenance Optimizer. Finally download the files via Download Manager.
Before updating the SAP Solution Manager, i have to update the SPAM/SAINT Version + Kernel. I'm currently on Spam version 7.00/0026.
Just to be sure, my questions are :
Do i have to update my SPAM/SAINT version into 7.00/37 or into 7.01/37 before updating into EHP1?
Do i have to update the KERNEL version into 7.00 or into 7.01 before updating into EHP1?
Thank you for your help.
Regards,
Pascal.

Hi,
> Do i have to update my SPAM/SAINT version into 7.00/37 or into 7.01/37 before updating into EHP1?
SPAM/SAINT version 7.00/37
> Do i have to update the KERNEL version into 7.00 or into 7.01 before updating into EHP1?

This should be done, once upgrade will finish.

SAP Solution Manager for SAP Business Suite On HANA

Dear Experts,
I have a small question regarding the available installation options for SAP Solution Manager for SOH.
Is there other available database platforms for the installation of SAP Solution Manager than the SAP HANA Database ?
Meaning that if we have a customer who has the license for SAP HANA Database, does he have other database options for installing the Solution Manager that are covered by the HANA license ?
Kind Regards,
Mohamed Awny

Well if you can find the solution manager software for a DB other than HANA in service market then you can install.
You can check this by checking the service market SAP Technology Components" ==> SAP SOLUTION MANAGER" ==> SAP SOLUTION MANAGER 7.1
HANA is so fast why choose another DB?

Error when trying to do an initial update of Solution Manager 7.1

Hello Experts,
I've just built a brand new 7.1 Solution manager and I'm attempting to apply the patches using the SP stack online tool. My starting point is ISS Inital and my ending SP is 13. I've downloaded all of the required patches and loaded them into the EPS\in location. The stack.xml file is generated from SAP's online tool.
When I start SUM (10SP12_13) right after asking me for the stack file it errors our with the following error message.

I have tried recreating the stack.xml file multiple times with now success. I've also logged a ticket with SAP, does anyone have any suggestions of things I could try?
Thanks for your help.

Hello,
Please check SAP Note 1577909, point 3.
Quoting from the Note:
Load the current SAP Solution Manager 7.1 stack DVD from the SWCenter on SAP Service Marketplace.
Installations and Upgrades -> Browse our Download Catalog -> SAP Technology Components -> SAP Solution Manager -> SAP Solution Manager 7.1 -> Installation and Upgrade -> [OS version] -> [DB version]
51049441 SAP Solution Manager 7.1 SPS 13
The DATA directory on this DVD contains an XML file, the current ABAP stack, and the current Java stack.
So, with the DVD there should be no issues.
Best regards,
Miguel Ariño

Can I install Solution Manager 7.0 in Window Server 2008 R2 Enterprise ed.?

Hi, SDN experts.
I am trying to install Solution Manager 7.0 in in Window Server 2008 R2?
I checked the the software requirement for SAP Solution Manager 7.0, it only mentioned Window Server 2003 and 2008 enterprise edition.
I am trying to install Solution Manager 7.0 in in Window Server 2008 R2 enterprise edition?
When I ran the Solution Manager Master Installer, the Pre-requisite Checker gave a warning message saying that it detected incompatible server version, that the server version is Windows NT 6.1 (Build 7601: Service Pack 1) (I guess it meant Window Server 2008 R2).
=======
The following Windows operating system version is supported: Windows Server 2003 (i.e. Version 5.2) and Windows Server 2008 (i.e. Version 6.0).
Current Windows version: Version 6.1, Service Pack 1.0, productive type: Server.
You can check the current version of you operating system by runningu2026u2026..
========
Can I actually install Solution Manager 7.0 in Window Server 2008 R2? Will this cause problem during the installation/post-installation if I ignore this message?
Thanks,
KC

Hi,
I think it is not straight forward to install SAP Solution Manager 7.0 in MS Window Server 2008 R2.
I am installing Solution Manager 7.0 , the installation encountered error on Create Java Users step (Phase 31 of 44). When I login to SAP solution Manager system through SAP GUI. I encountered this error:
"OS release Windows NT 6.1 7601 Service Pack 1 4x AMD64 Level 6 (Mod 44 Step 2) is not supported with this kernel (700)'
I found that it is because I am installing SAP Solution Manger 7.0 in MS Window Server 2008 R2, which the existing kernel version does not support.
Do you know which kernel I should install?
I browsed in:
SAP Application Components" SAP SOLUTION MANAGER" SAP SOLUTION MANAGER 7.0" Entry by Component" Solution Manager ABAP Stack
SAP KERNEL 7.00 64-BIT UNICODE --> Windows Server on x64 64bit -->MS SQL SERVER
I downloaded:
SAPEXEDB_291-20001361.SAR Kernel Part II (for Basis 7.00) 291
Is this the right Kernel patch I should use?
If it is the right kernel patch file, how do I apply the latest kernel to existing Solution Manager system? Can you give me some guidance on this?
Thanks,
KC
