Can I install Solution Manager on Netweaver 04?

Hi,
I am very new to the Basis world. I'm trying to learn installations and figure out where SAP components can be installed.
I have just recently installed a Netweaver 04 environment with the SAP Abap instance (Basis 6.40). Is it possible to now install Solution Manager on it or is solution manager 3.2 only compatible with Web App server 6.20?
Any explanation as to Solution Manager installation from scratch will be helpful.
Thank you
Amina

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.

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 :

Hi,
It's a good idea, but currently it's not yet supported.
In Work Center, there is no predefined (nor a hidden) link shipped by SAP to access the Solution Database for key users.
With a future EhP for Solution Manager, you might get an integration of the Solution Database into the message processing Web UI.

Can't update Solution Manager(7.1) SAP BASIS - conflict in update packages

When I try to update SAP_BASIS (702) with Service pack SP13 to SP14 (using SAPKB70214), a conflict arises. SPAM claims that the package requires pre-installation SAPKITL711 (Pack ST 710). However, the search for SAP Software Download Center showed that this package does not exist in nature, and the last packet is numbered as SAPKITL710 (ST 710: SP 0010)
Where am I wrong? Perhaps SP14 and SP15 SAP_BASIS (702) generally are not intended for installation?

Hello Michael,
SAP claims at https://service.sap.com/sp-stacks that SP11 for ST should be at 12 of march
But they also claims this :
Disclaimer:
Be aware that the information contained in this schedule is subject to change. SAP does not guarantee the availability of an SP Stack on the specified date.
The SP Stack frequency of a product version may change during its lifecycle. The distribution of SP Stacks throughout the year may also vary from one year to another.

We have SAP CUA on Solution manager 4.0

Hi,
We have SAP CUA on solution manager 4.0,SAP BASIS component 700. Do you know what is the latest Support pack and version for solution manager and what is netweaver identity management.Which one is better for CUA environment
Thanks and Regards
Yakoob.

Hi,
Netweaver Identity Management (IdM) should replace SAP Central user administration (CUA) somewhere in the future. As far as I know SAP still supports CUA but doesn't develop further enhancements for it, because they see IDM as the new product. So when you still want to work with CUA then you can create a new one on your new SolMan and you have to move the administration to this one.

SAP Solution Manager - Enterprise Support Report bw cubes

We are looking at the Infoproviders in Solution Manager BW and noticed the data for SAP Solution Manager - Enterprise Support Report.
When we look at these cubes, we are particularly interested in the Software Component Versions.
Unfortunately, all of these data cubes are empty. Based on some discussions among our colleagues we are wondering if this data is only activated for customers that have the full Enterprise Support agreement in place with SAP?
If that is the case, then so be it (we don't have that level of support). However, if that is not the case, can anyone suggest a way to populate these cubes.
thanks,
Jeff Henke

Hi,
Solution Manager is a separate component and needs to be installed separately (not possible to install on top of R/3 Enterprise).
You can order SAP Solution Manager Software from SAP or download from http://service.sap.com/swdc
Solution manager is free from SAP and no additional license involved for it's customer for normal use.
You can get more information on Solution manager from http://service.sap.com/solutionmanager
btw: as far as I know for R/3 Enterprise you can still download patches via http://service.sap.com/swdc without solution manager, For Netweaver 7.0 systems, use of Solution Manager (Maintenance Optimizer) became mandatory.
Cheers !!

PS: Pls reward points if the answer was helpful...Thx.

What can Solution Manager 7.0 provide for PI 7.1?

I work with PI 7.1 EHP 1 and have been asked to determine if time/resource should be invested to setup Solution Manager 7.0 EHP 1 to provide monitoring/management of PI. I attended SAP TechEd 2011, and there was a lot of discussion that SM 7.1 would be a significant part of monitoring for PI 7.3. However, since I'm not on those platforms, can you help me understand what SM 7.0 can provide me as a PI Administrator/Support over what I use now (Runtime Workbench & SXMB_MONI)?
The Solution Manager resource on the BASIS team mentioned that SM takes a lot of configuration and I'd have to learn about Business Process Management to make it do anything useful. What I saw at TechEd showed a nice start page that showed data volume, errors, and nice graph. Perhaps that is only for SM 7.1, but it seemed like a nice data view capability.

Hello Tadd,
Wily Introscope will provide you with nice (also real-time if you want) metrics for your PI system (dashboards). You can check for some details here:
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/f0b96675-87cf-2c10-b489-dee0ac03f782
Solution Manager requires additional steps in order to be able to configure this monitoring scenario. Once your solution manager is installed and running you have to perform initial configuration -> basic configuration -> managed system configuration
In the last step you'll actually configure diagnostics and willy for your PI system.
If the number of managed systems that you have to connect is small this "3 step" configuration can be done in a couple of weeks.
Cheers,
Diego.

Problem while adding SAP Netweaver 7.3 As Java in Solution Manager 7.1

Hi All,
We are facing strange problem while configuring managed system- SAP Netweaver 7.3 As Java in Solution manager 7.1 SP3. We added this system in SLD of solution manager and synchronized it with LMDB. As a result this As Java system is present under Technical systems in SMSY. Now we are assigning Product system to it with Landscape verification tool. But the problem is when we try to save after assigning Product version as SAP Netweaver and Product as SAP Netweaver 7.3. It always gives below error:
Fatal error trying to update Technical System (UPDATE_TSYSTEMS). Update could not be executed.
Product instance 54 not found
Product instance number error keep on changing depend upon what usage i select like ADS 7.3, Application Server Java 7.3 etc.
Please suggest if someone has faced this issue.
Thanks
Sunny

Hi Sunny,
You can refer to my first blog on this topic:
#sapadmin:: How to assign Product System in SOLMAN 7.1 & How LMDB, SLD, SMSY and Landscape Verification work in SOLMAN7.1
Try to select only one product instance in LMDB and saved. After that, you can add more product instance in SMSY.
Hope it helps.

Solution Manager - Logical Component for SAP Netweaver EHP2

Hello,
I installed the newest SAP Netweaver Ehp2 (with usage type AS ABAP only) for a future integrating with BI_CONT (SAP BI requirement). So... what I want to know is... I want to do an update of support packages to the latest Stack (SPS) and in this product version (NW EHP2) the latest stack is stack 06 !! But I ´m facing with a problem which is, because I have to maintain this system in Solution Manager (for Maintenance Optimizer activity)...so what I want is configure this new system on Solution Manager Ehp1 (with SPS 23) but in tcode SMSY I didn´t found this Product in Logical Components for I can apply this system to my Solution... I only see SAP Netweaver with EHP1 and not with EHP2 which is the version that I want to apply this new system. (This is mandatory task, because without it, I will not be able to download the support packages for NW 7.0 EHP2)
Tell me two things... first if this level version of Solution Manager that I have here (SPS 23) have this product in logical components, and two... if not it, is necessary to raise the level of Solution Manager support packages (to latest stack SPS 25) for I can see that logical component SAP Netweaver EHP2?!
Thank you very much
João Dimas - Portugal

Hi João,
You can verify if the EHP2 is available (if) in your system, this can be done once you are in SMSY -> Product Definitions -> SAP Netweaver where you should able to see the EHP2. If so, then it's a matter of marking the leading Product & Product Version under the Header Data ->Change Product Assignment where you can use the drop down arrow to select the Product and Product Version. If it's not available, then by checking the 'Free Product / Select Product Version' then use the drop down arrow to select the product & Product Version, once you selected that then click on copy and mark that as active and save.
Then you need to create a new logical component in System Group & logical Component under SAP Netweaver, then assign the system to the logical component. Once this is done you can use the logical component in a solution and create a maintenance transaction.
I hope this help you to proceed further, thanks.
Jay Soma.

SAP Netweaver gateway in solution manager

Hi ,
We have a solution manager 7.1(netweaver 7.02) and ECC IDES EHP 6 system for which we need to configure Netweaver gateway. We have installed netweaver gateway 2.0 components in solution manager system. Now is it possible to configure gateway on solution manager system instead of building a separate netweaver system for configuring gateway.
Wondering if we can make solman as gateway system for accessing ECC IDES. Please give your suggestion and steps to perform.

Role creation in netweaver solution manager

Hi All:
       Can someone tell me how to create/maintain roles in Netweaver Solution manager.
       Thanks,
       J D

Hi,
First understand and decide what each consultant is going to do in the system. Like Technical Consultant will take care of Installation, Setting Up Landscape, Setting up TMS etc.
Project Manager will create projects, Handle roadmaps etc.
Segregating this way will help you defining the Roles in the system. I would also suggest you to have authorization Matrix in a Spreadsheet.
The authorization can also be categorized based on Operational processing.
Check this link.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_sm40/helpdata/en/24/c7baad86044eacb7203cdd341211a9/content.htm
For authorization in Servicedesk.
Check page 35 in this link.
