Solution manager, SLD and SAP MC

Hello,
It seems that both System landscape directory and SAP management console have some overlapping features. The services can be started or stopped in both. Is it true? Does anyone know the difference between these 2 and where does Solution manager fit in?
Thanks
Shaiikil

We can stop, start SAP services from NWA. Now we cannot say Netweaver, NWA and MMC are similar...
MMC is a tool/enviroment provided by microsoft for starting stopping services, managing user rights, security settings, policies and so on...
this can never be compared with SAP Environment for similarities.
Feel free to revert back.

SAP Solution Manager Adapter for SAP Quality Center by HP (ST-QCA)

Hello Folks,
I am configuring Solution Manager, and the current activity asks to download to add-ons that I can't find in the Marketplace - they are required to activate Solution Manager Enhancements:
SAP Solution Manager Adapter for SAP Quality Center by HP (software component: ST-QCA)
SAP Support Enablement package (software component: ST-SEP)
Does anyone know where to get those components?
Thanks a lot,
Marco

Hi Ravindra babu/ Murali:
I have one very quick doubt and would be really glad if you can help clarify.
As per documentation from SAP and also IMG screens etc. it seems like 'a project' in SolMan will hand-shake with 'a project' in QC.
Can I therefore assume that if there is only one instance of SolMan (productive) and one QC server alone (again, productive), any number of trials I carry out between SolMan project and QC project will not spill over into other projects in these two systems and thus have no impact whatsoever at server level.
The reason for my asking this - in my project, Testing has started using QC in a standalone mode already. We have just one server. If I have to carry out any tests/ demo between SolMan and QC, it shouldn't impact other 'standalone' projects being done in QC.

Srini

Solution Manager DEV and PRD box

In my landscape i have 2 systems for solution manager SMD and SMP , what is the ideal way sap community is using them ...should i divide the solman roles among them or how the 2 system landscape of solman is used ..
Regards

Hello Tiger,
In my experience many SAP customers have a one or two system landscape in Solution Manager.
For customers whose main line of business is providing service with the Solution Manager, I would recommend a three system landscape (dev, qas and prd). For customers who run less critical functionality with Solution Manager, and when costs of hosts for the Solution Manager systems are an issue, one or two tier system landscapes can be also considered. Other than this, I don't know any document with precise guidelines to answer your question. At the end it all depends on the scenarios you want to run, and how critical the functionality you run with Solution Manager is for your company.
Best regards,
Miguel Ariñ

Solution manager, PI and ERP incl FICA (IS-U) test systems on same HANA DB server Appliance

Hello
I wander is it possible to have Solution manager, PI and ERP incl FICA (IS-U). All for test/system purposes:
I am sure we need separate application servers for Solution manager, PI and ERP incl FICA (IS-U),
I would have question regarding Appliance i.e Hana DB server. can Solution manager, PI and ERP incl FICA (IS-U) products reside on same Appliance i.e Hana DB server in MCOS or MCOD? (I am sure that for production use this is no-go option)
What is the case when renting cloud solution?
Thank you a lot in advance

Check the java part, most of the Solman Web Based thing use the java, check the management console to ensure message server and dispatcher proper work, normally is: http://hostname:50113.
If central note give you problems deimplement all the not complete implemented notes and use SUM
and MOPZ to update your system with the last SP, then apply the central note acording to your SP level.
We found that have the system in the last level prevents a lot of problems because of not complete implemented notes.

Relationship between Solution Manager Diagnostic and CCMS

We are just now looking at Solution Manager Diagnostics and central monitoring in Solution Manager. One thing we are not clear on, and haven't seen anything definitive on, is the relationship between these and CCMS.
Any insight or link to documentation would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Jeff Henke

Solution Manager Diagnostics is a diagnostic tool, not a real-time monitoring and alerting tool. CCMS is for real-time monitoring and alerting, and SMD does in fact get data from your CCMS agents, as well as from saposcol and Wily Introscope.
Hope that helps,
David.

Difference between SAP SLD and SAP Management console

Hello,
It seems that both System landscape directory and SAP management console have some overlapping features. The services can be started or stopped in both. Is it true? Does anyone know the difference between these 2 and where does Solution manager fit in?
Thanks
Shailik

Hi,
SAP SLD is the central information provider in a system landscape.this contains both Component information and Landscape description.COMPONENT Info in sense all the sap products and components along with their versions, And also third party products also.LANDSCAPE desc in sense the description of all the systems in particular landscape.
Example:This can shows exact idea for you.Components like CAF,Webdynpo(WD-java),BPM etc info.And the host names,Message server ports etc.Here we dont have start/stop functionality.
SAP MC provides a common framework for centralized system management. It allows you to monitor and perform basic administration tasks on the SAP system centrally, thus simplifying system administration. Using the SAP MC you can
1.Monitor and control (start, stop, or restart) the SAP system and its instances with a single tool
2.Monitor system alerts
3.Display the list of all access points to an SAP system etc.
We can see difference by looking into http://<host name>:<port>/index.html
Look and feel are also differ.
For more info you can go through these links of sap help.

Solman_setup and central&local solution manager SLD

Hello,
I'm configuring our solution mananger system with transaction solman_setup. The local SLD of the solution manager will also be the central SLD of all our systems. After finishg the basic configuration in solman_setup, and go to "managed system configuration", I can only see the only solution manager system, as ABAP and as JAVA, but no more systems (right, as I haven't defined more systems).
I cannot create more ABAP system with the link "maintain technical systems", the ABAP option when I select create isn't there.
If I create another type of system as a test, for example, third party, the transaction SMSY can see this new system, but the SLD in http://<my_solution_manager_system>:50000/sld doesn't show this new system at all.
Where must I create the systems? and how can I connect the SLD and the SMSY transaction? Should I "add SLD" at the Administration in http://<my_solution_manager_system>:50000/sld and put the suolution manager itsefl system?
Thanks in advance for your help and best regards,
Ana

Hi,
To ensure a system is registering into the SLD and synchronising with SMSY, go to transaction RZ70 and define the Host and Service.
Also, set up a user for accessing the SLD in transaction SLDAPICUST. The user has to exist in the Java stack to log into the SLD.
Also ensure your RFCs are correctly set up for LCRSAPRFC and SAPSLDAPI as per this link:
https://cw.sdn.sap.com/cw/docs/DOC-37953?treeid=DOC-7936
Then use transaction SLDCHECK to ensure your connection is working.
Finally enable SLD synchronisation into SMSY by transaction SMSY > Goto > Setup System Landscape Maintenance. Define the same host and port of your SLD and schedule the data transfer.
This should pick up the system once the landscape_fetch background job executes into SMSY.
You can use this approach for all your managed systems and is the most logical way to connect systems to the SLD.

Project management in SAP Solution Manager (SOLAR_PROJECT_ADMIN and RMMAIN)

Please help me to understand this better u2013 whether this is a gap in the functionality of the SolMan, whether I expect too much, whether it is expected to work in a different way.
In transaction SOLAR_PROJECT_ADMIN one can create a project.
In transaction RMMAIN one can create a roadmap u2013 this is a more or less detailed project plan that can even be exported to MS Project. Via RMDEF and RMAUTH it is possible to create a custom specific roadmap. This specific roadmap can then be assigned via SOLAR_PROJECT_ADMIN and RMMAIN to the newly created project.
However, it is not possible to modify the roadmap once assigned in SOLAR_PROJECT_ADMIN and created in RMMAIN.
This means, as a consequence, that it is not possible to use the Solution Manager as the one and only project management tool.
To specify this further. Usually, in a project, once you have created the roadmap and the overall framework you add all the detailed steps, and all single tasks that are required. As this is not possible in SolMan one needs to use other tools (MS Project) for this. But on the other side the SolMan project plan and roadmap has to be updated frequently to be able to keep track of the progress. So this ends in double work. Manual effort is required to keep this consistent. And it also hardly makes sense to create a new roadmap just to add these small details. With all this in mind itu2019s hard to convince our customers that the SolMan is really a that big benefit for implementation or upgrade projects.
- have I overseen something?
- has SAP designed this in a different way?
- or does SAP oversee this need?
Many thanks & best regards,
Peter Müller

Hi
1) Is deleting older documents is definitely going to improve response time of searching. You said 'yes' but just wanted to double sure.
Yes
2) This program deletes all unsed and de-linked document. I can understand 'De-linked' but not 'Unused'
i meant the samething
3) Deleting documents based on user id is big problem. We have almost 800 Users in SolMan, who has used this project form last 5+ years. So all these 800 users have to go into multiple selection of user id
Try giving *
4) I tried this on our sandbox (SP19 Level) which has shown all unused documents which can be deleted. But this deletion has to be done one-by-one. In our production, if we have 10K+ documents, i assume almost thousand or more will be residing as de-linked in KW
Try giving *
5) Any Documentation available on this program.
Learnt by experience but you can check some sapnotes below
Note 1124579 - Using SOLMAN_UNUSED_DOCUMENTS to delete unused documents
Note 1377997 - SOLMAN_UNUSED_DOCUMENTS: No deletion conf. for each doc.
Hope above clarifies

Solution Manager Installation Error "SAP SOLUTION MANAGER 7.0 EHP 1"

I am new to SAP and currently trying to install SOLMAN 7.0 EHP 1 on Windows Server 2008 R2. I have read the documentation also. For JDK I have used "j2sdkfb-1_4_2_24-rev-b06-windows-amd64.exe" which looks to be working fine.
The installation process runs fine until it hits "Start Instance" the message on the bottom says "Starting instance xxx/DVEBMGSOO" (where xxx is my sid) and then its times out after 10 minute. After timing out I get the following error on the window.
An error occurred while processing option SAP Solution Manager 7.0 EhP1 > SAP Systems > Oracle > Central System > Central System( Last error reported by the step: ABAP processes of instance ORC/DVEBMGS00 ABAP: UNKNOWN did not start after 10:00 minutes. Giving up.). You can now:
Choose Retry to repeat the current step.
Choose Log Files to get more information about the error.
Stop the option and continue with it later.
Log files are written to C:\Program Files/sapinst_instdir/SOLMAN/SYSTEM/ORA/CENTRAL/AS.
Though the installation steps are not fully completed but I do see SAP management Console and when I open it I see two process running "msg_server.exe" & "igswd.exe" The process dispwork.EXE starts in the beginning and then stops and stays stopped. I tried restarting all the process again but only tow of them starts and the process "dispwork.EXE" starts but then stops again. I also did a NEW installation considering a file could have been corrupted or something else but the installation process stops and the same place. I am sure ppl have installed SOLMAN on windows 2008 R2 and this error seems common to me. Please assist. Any tips would be nice.
Edited by: amirsd on Aug 3, 2011 5:53 PM

Hi,
Please check the below
1) ip/host entries should be in /etc/hosts
2) patch the latest kernel for 2008 R2
and re run installation

Installing License in Solution Manager 4.0 - SAP BASIS 7.0

Hi, I installed SAP Solution Manager, I request my unlimited license at SAP Marketplace, they send me the file, however in slicense transaction - New licenses I load my file and no errors show me. However when finish load of file, license status is not active (green) but it is red and show me as "Not yet valid". I restart my server and delete temporary license and nothing happend, message is the same. Is important know than licenses in new version (SAP BASIS 7.0) and ECC 6.0, installation is not equal than old version. The file with the key must be imported from slicense transaction - new license and no write directly to slicense transaction fields.
Thanks.

Obviously you have to upgrade SAPKW70012 first as its the prerequisite of Basis support pack. So just import this support pack then you can only continue for Basis patch.
There is a sequence in which patch can be imported, when you apply any patch it shows the prereuisites of that patch so just follow the same.

Solution Manager to Monitor SAP NetWeaver Portal

Hi ,
I have setup Solution Manager 4.0 SP11 and I have a production EP.
I want to monitor the EP using Solution Manager. The monitoring would check if the portal is down and if it is down, the Solution Manager would send a email to the Portal Administrator.
In order to achieve the above monitoring setup, do I need to install Solution Manager Diagnostics?
I do hope to hear from you soon.
Thanks.
Regards,
Mike Lee
