Solution Manager Setup & Configuartion

Hi There
This is a question on Solution Manager setup.
We are in the process of configuring Solution manager. Basically we have installed two Sol Man 7.0 (Ehp1) systems development (SOD) and Production (SOP)
We are insterested in configuring EWA and also would want CCMS monitoring (diagnostics) for our R3, SCM,and BI systems and we are not implementing CHARM, Service Desk or any other functionalities. I would like to know how to proceed with utilising the Dev and prod Solution manager systems for acheiving the above. I would like to get some suggestion on which system should be used to configure the EWA and monitoring. These are the two scenarios that I am considering and would like some suggestion on.
Scenario1:
create Dev Landsacpe & Solution for Dev systems in SOD and Prod Landsacpe & Solution for Production systems in SOP
Turn on EWA and Diagnostics for Prod system in SOP
Scenario2:
create Dev Landsacpe & Solution for Dev systems in SOD and a master landscape and solutions for all the systems (Dev& Prod) in SOP. Turn on EWA and Diagnostics for Prod systems in SOP
What are the pros and cons for the above options ? Is there any other better options ?
NOTE: We do not have PI(or XI) and have no other Landsacpe config except for BI systems which have been installed as a local SLD. Our R3 4.7 and SCM are on SAP BASIS 620. The idea is to turn on EWA and monitor only the production systems.We are not implementing any Business Solutions in Sol Man system.
Thanks

This is the SAP recommended way to create your solutions. All Dev Systems into one solution and All PRD systems into a separate solution.
check this note 1257308 for EWA FAQs.
Check these Best Bractices for your BI monitoing

Solution Manager Setup System Monitoring DB Administrating Alerts

Greetings experts
Can someone please explain how I can get "DB Administrating Alerts" to display in Solution Manager.
Satellite system (FSD) database MTE's are all active (RZ20).

HI
1.Do i need to configure the CCMS_OnAlert_Email, for every alert that you have, in the satellite system?
Best thing I would say is to copy method ( RZ21 --> Method --> Method definition )CCMS_OnAlert_Email to Z_CCMS_OnAlert_Email in Solman and assign this auto reaction to MTE class of satellite systems.
2. How do i configure this out of solution manager, and bypassing the satellite system?
You have to install/configure sapccm4x( for monitoring abap ) on satellite systems by giving details about Solution manager. Then the alert will be sent to Solution manager from satellite system and the configured auto reaction will send mails .
Also go through the links

Solution Manager System Monitoring of a CE 7.10

Hi
I am trying to setup a Solution Manager Monitoring Solution for a CE 7.10 Enviroment.
I have already setup CEN in SOLMAN.
I have registered CE Systems with a sapccmsr j2ee agent.
I have setup the JCO RFC Connection in CE.
I have created the TCP/IP Connection to the JCO Connection in Solman.
I have set the TCP/IP Connection in RZ21 as the J2EE Customizing Destination.
The solution involves only 1 Logical Component with 3 CE Systems.
When I go to the solution manager setup and try to configure the MTE Nodes for my solution I cannot get the MTE context while clicking in Activate Monitoring for other Software Components
I choose Java Application Server, choose my server, choose CEn but when i have to choose the context of the MTE i get an empty list.
IF i go Activate Monitoring for Other Servers and choose the server I get the contexts of the remote server, but I can only choose one.
So how can I see the context of the CE servers in the Software component part?
Ty.

Hi,
Have you defined and added corresponding logical systems for the respective satellite systems?
Here is the sequence of steps you've to do:
in SMSY:
1) Define server, DB, Systems
2) Generate READ, TMW, TRUSTED RFCs to the satellite systems
3) define logical systems and assign the satellite system to it
in Solution_Manager:
1) define new solution
2) add the logical system into the solution
If these steps are successful, you should be able to see the satellite system in SYSTEM MONITORING in Solution_Manager.
Have you already done these steps?
After performing these steps:
Solution_Manager>choose relevant solution>operations setup>Solution Monitoring>System monitoring>Activate monitoring> choose the system and activate monitoring.
Your system will then appear.
Does this help any way?

1. Landscape components shows under: all others server name list
   SERVER
     shows server host name: (r5wxw0) and right side windows shows
     data source RFC
     and Technical Data Tab shows all others value (that system I like to monitor)
2. DataBASE (all others application server name)

Now where sould I go to configure CCMS monitoring ?
Thanks in Advanced
Travis

Hi user issue2008 issue
actually i can't connect to solman, but i think it was under 3.
When you select a component, i.e. Dev R/3 or so you should have several clients.
There you can define RFCs and also there you can define Solution Monitoring.
But I think there should be already RFC-Destinations, when you had configured the EWA.
Then you should check the client with the RFC-Destination and Checking Destination.
In Edit-mode you can check the box for Solution Monitoring and save and ok.
After that it should be activated.
Hope it helps you.

René

Solution Manager - Can support user user changes manegement ??

Hi All,
In solution manager can change request type as a "New user creation" or "User authorization Change".
So that we can keep track of New user creation or change in authorization that are created in respective R/3 system.
The process flow is same like change management for developement correction or customization correction.
Please give me your comments. It will be very valuable for me.
Thanks in advance.
Ravindra Nikam

As I said, it will depend on the scenarios you will configure.
For the installation, you will not need any. When it comes to the configuration (SOLMAN_SETUP) you'll need the authorizations in SMP for S-User.
You can also check here:

Check the prerequisites at these Guide:

Solution Manager SMD Question

Hello,
I have few questions below. Please help.
1) Do we need to configure the SMD for solution manager alert configuration. Or we can configure the solution manager alert configuration for ABAP stack without SMD.
2)Stpes to configure Solution Manager diagnostics.
3) How to do solution manager alert configuartion.
Regards,
Deepak

Hi Deepak,
One thing is monitoring using CCMS on ABAP to monitor JAVA and ABAP systems. For that you will be able to find the complete information on the following PDF:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/f08287c4-a4ee-2a10-b0a2-c863755fdb94
In this case you only need an ABAP 7.0 system where you can use auto reaction methods and/or the Alert Framework provided by ABAP for sending alerts to email or pagers and you do not need Solution Manager or Solution Manager Diagnostics.
On the other hand you have the End-to-End Root Cause Analysis that use Solution Manager Diagnostics as tool for workload analysis, exception analysis, trace analysis and change analysis, for this you will need Solution Manager (ABAP and JAVA) and WilyInstroscope. You will find the main installation guide in the following link:
https://service.sap.com/~sapdownload/011000358700000271732008E
The installation guide for Wily Introscope for SAP is on:
https://service.sap.com/~sapdownload/011000358700000271852008E
Currently SMD does NOT provides any alerting capabilities it is only for reporting and problem analysis.

you need to install CCMS agents(sapccm4x, sapccmsr) on satellite systems & configure them with the central system(solman).

Hi,
Q. Is it possible to setup the solution manager -above mentioned tasks without Ides system ?
A. Yes.
Check with links for
1.Early watch alert
This process helps you to identify potential problems early, avoid bottlenecks, and monitor the performance of your ABAP and JAVA systems and your most important business processes, regularly, automatically and effectively. The data collection infrastructure comprises the ABAP Service Data Control Center and the JAVA function module Data Provider. The SAP EarlyWatch Alert in the SAP Solution Manager is a service provided by SAP.
To be able to use it, you have:
maintained the non-ABAP systems correctly in the system landscape maintenance (transaction SMSY)
RFC u2013 Connections between: and an RFC u2013 Connections established.
your satellite systems and the SAP Solution Manager system
SAP Solution Manager and the SAP Service Marketplace
Solution Manager system and Solution Manager Diagnostics
Cf: Solution Manager IMG (transaction SPRO).
checked the availability of the tools required for the SAP Service sessions (add-on ST-A/PI), with the report RTCCTOOL.
activated Alert Monitoring and set-up the Automatic Session Manager (ASM) in the Service Data Control Center (SDCCN) of your satellite systems, for all SAP satellite systems and the central SAP Solution Manager of your solution
set-up your systems in a solution landscape in the SAP Solution Manager
configured Solution Manager Diagnostics
2.System Monitoring
The system monitoring in the SAP Solution Manager is, as described above, like a system-wide central CCMS. It can also contain the central CCMS (CEN) of satellite systems. These CENs can then monitor other components.
The graphical display in the SAP Solution Manager gives you access to the alerts of all systems in a solution. You can go to the local or central CCMS of the satellite systems.
The system proposes the most important alerts in the CCMS monitor collection, according to SAP experience, and their alert thresholds, for each system in the solution, in the system monitoring Session. You can activate or deactivate these alerts. The connection between the local CCMS and the SAP Solution Manager allows you to maintain the alert thresholds directly in the SAP Solution Manager, overwriting the values in the local CCMS.
3.Central System Administration
You activate the customizing for business processes in your solution, in the Business Process MONITORING session in the SAP Solution Manager. A monitoring tree element (MTE), or a monitor collection, u201EBPMu201C of several monitoring objects, is created in the local or central (CEN) CCMS of the satellite system.
The data is collected for the monitoring types of the business process monitoring in contrast to system monitoring, as follows:
● The system collects performance (dialog transactions), posting cancellations (V1 and V2) and u201EOther CCMSu201C and interface data, in the local CCMS of the satellite systems.
● The system collects background processing, application list, application monitors, delivery lists, and document size data, in the central SAP Solution Manager CCMS.
The SAP Solution Manager system copies the data from the local CCMS.
The graphical display in the SAP Solution Manager simplifies access to the alerts for the business processes, business process steps or the interfaces between the systems in a solution. You can go to the local CCMS of the satellite systems.
The connection between the local CCMS and the SAP Solution Manager allows you to maintain the alert thresholds directly in the SAP Solution Manager. These overwrite the values in the local CCMS.
4.Business Process Monitoring
The system and business process monitoring (including interface monitoring) in the SAP Solution Manager, both use the Computing Center Management System (CCMS) (transaction RZ20) architecture. This means that system alerts which occur in the local CCMS, are passed to the SAP Solution Manager via RFC connections between the SAP Solution Manager and the satellites. The system shows these alerts in a graphic or in Sessions. You can also handle the alerts centrally, without having to go to the local CCMS of the satellite systems.
You can see the alerts from several systems in a solution landscape in the SAP Solution Manager, in a graphical overview, in contrast to the local CCMS of the SAP Solution Manager satellite systems. This is the view of a central CCMS (CEN). You can also monitor non-SAP systems in a central CCMS (CEN) of a satellite system

How do I setup RFC if Solution Manager and Target system are in same server

Dear Experts,
How do I setup RFC if the Solution Manager and the Target System (SAP ERP 6.0) are sitting in the same server?
Do I really need to setup RFC?
regards,
Abraham

Hello,
An RFC is a Remote Function Call and is used to communicate between computer systems.
A system can be on a server. Multiple systems can be on a single server, a single system can exist on multiple servers.
When you setup the RFC Target it is the Host and not the system that is specified.
You can get the host information when logged into the ERP system by running transaction SM59.
This would then be the target Host in the RFC from Solman to the ERP system.
As Miguel suggested this is rather simple. So I hope this has shone a light for you so you may proceed.
But if you continue to have problems please advise.
Regards,
Paul
