Technical Upgrade using Solution Manager

Hi All,
I am aware of the Maintainence Optimizer in SolMan to download Support packages/Enhancement Packages. Does the solution manager support a technical upgrade of a system as well? Please provide your suggestions. I was not able to find any information regarding this and am not if this is even supported.
Thanks in advance,
Srikishan

  • Is it a must to use Solution manager for ECC 6.0 upgrade

    Is it a must to use Solution Manager for ECC 6.0 (FICO & HR) upgrade? I am told Solution Manager is required only if it has ABAP and JAVA stacks, or involves Enhancement Packages; and could be optional if it is only ECC 6.0 with ABAP stacks.

    Hi,
    I'm having a difficult time finding some guidance for setting up our R/3 Enterprise system in solman properly, so that I can create the upgrade XML file required to go directly to ERP 6.0 EHP4. 
    I've set up the R/3 system fine, but when i create a maintenance transaction i cannot for the life of me figure out how to tell it I want to go from r/3 to ERP6 ehp4.
    Any docs out there for this?
    Thanks!
    I figured it out... i had to add the R/3 Enterprise logical components to my system landscape.  After that I was able to select R/3 as the initial data in the maintenance transaction and then the system i wanted to upgrade, and then the option to upgrade.
    Never mind!

  • How to include an enhancement package with upgrade without Solution Manager

    Hello,
    I have been trying to do an upgrade from SAP R3 46C to ERP6 in my sandbox.  I want to include Enhancment package 3 with the upgrade.  I have tried using the Solution Manager to download the Enhancement package and it work fine except that it did not create the XML Stack configuration file that the upgrade is looking for.  Therefore I downloaded the DVD for Enhancement package 3 and included that in the mounted CDs in the PREPARE portion of the upgrade and it does not recognize it.
    Now for my question, is there a way to include the Enhancement package with the upgrade without using Solution Manager? If so, could someone please let me know where to find the information or share the procedure with me?
    Thank you in advance,
    Ron

    The EPs are just like support packages (optional); if the upgrade is not letting you put it during upgrade then just do it once the upgrade is completed.

  • EHP1 upgrade of solution manager-any effects in landscape due to common SLD

    Hello All,
    We have ECC,BI,SRM,XI,EP,MAM and BD in our setup and yes of course Solution Manager dev and prod
    We have our SLD installed on solution manager production which is common for all the systems of the landscape
    Now we have performed EHP1 upgrade if Solution manager dev and now we are planning on solution manager production
    So just want to know,do you forsee any issues after we upgrade the solution manager production to EHP1 in respect to SLD or can there be any issues in the landscape because of this upgrade?
    Please let me know your suggestions
    Rohit

    > So just want to know,do you forsee any issues after we upgrade the solution manager production to EHP1 in respect to SLD or can there be any issues in the landscape because of this upgrade?
    The SLD is not affected.
    However, SolMan EHP1 requires a LOT of separate notes to be applied.
    Note 1172948 - SAP Solution Manager - Basic functions
    Depending on what scenarios you use, you will also need to upgrade ST-PI in the external systems before EWAs will be again correctly created.

  • Why use Solution Manager?

    Hi,
    I wonder if you can help.  We have been advised to install Solution Manager in order to manage the upgrade from 4.6c to ECC 5.0, but have also heard conflicting advice that states that this is not necessary and is an overhead.
    Can anyone advise if SolMan is worth installing and what the benefits are of running the upgrade through this vs using normal methods.
    Many thanks.
    Sean

    Hi,
    Wel solution manager is an awesome project tracking tool.
    Say for e.g it will generate reports for the overall testing using which you will be able to know who is testing what is testing and how much testing is compeleted.
    It stores all the log for automatic test cases whether ECATT or External (mercury QTP).
    I have written several blogs on testing and ecatt and qtp integration can view the same on sdn.
    In addition to above if you use solution manager you can get accelerate roadmap documents and also provide you reports which can show you the current progress of your project with time and dates.
    Provide e-learning and also can use solution manager as document management system.
    If you are not going to use the same,You are missing all above.Decision is your's.
    Please reward points if it helps.

  • Migration / Upgrade SAP Solution Manager

    Hi
    We are using Solution Manager 3.1, W2000 Server, Intel, Oracle.
    Now it is necessery to Upgrade Solution Manager 4.0, to new Hardware with Windows x64, AMD, Oracle.
    It was very helpfull for me, if somebody could explain me the steps to do that.
    Thank you very much
    Selim

    first of all it is obsolete (because based on 8.1.7) and did not cover the central needs of the request ( Oracle9 to Oracle10 during a 32Bit/64 Bit migration)
    second it is based on Unix, will not help Windows users very much.
    third it is not supported, the only supported resources are documented via http://service.sap.com/instguides look for your version, homogenious system copy guide.
    fourth: there are some mistakes in it: you need a new saplicense, at least on windows.
    fith: it does not document at all what additional manual steps are necessary if the system is a newer system with a lot of functional links into other systems.

  • Oracle upgrade in Solution Manager 10g to 11g

    SQL>
    Now I want to upgrade my Solution Manager 10 g to 11g .
    what oracle component  should I download  and how to upgrade 10.2.0.2.0  to  11.2.0.3.0.
    Please suggest.
    Regards
    Pooja

    Hi
    The upgrade is possible as stated in the here under note.
    Previous version (v15) of that note was even a bit more clear it is possible but version 10.2.0.4 is preferred.
    Direct upgrade from 10.2.0.2 should not be a problem, as it is even possible to have a direct upgrade from 9.2.0.8 to 11.2.0.4.
    1431793 - Oracle 11.2.0: Upgrade Scripts
    A database < 9.2.0.8 must be upgraded to 9.2.0.8 before it can be upgraded directly to 11.2.0.4.
    You should consider jumping directly to 11.2.0.4 that is the latest 11g version and the only one that will have a long term support.
    Regards
    1431797 - Oracle 11.2.0: Troubleshooting the Database Upgrade
    For a database upgrade from 10.2. to 11.2 the minimum release is 10.2.0.2. This release is not supported any more.
    1431797 - Oracle 11.2.0: Troubleshooting the Database Upgrade v15
    We strongly recommend a minimum release 10.2.0.4 for the following reasons:
    a) All SAP internal database upgrade tests have been performed with
    release 10.2.0.4. This upgrade path has been very well tested and
    is documented in the SAP Database Upgrade Guide for Oracle Release
    11.2.
    b) Oracle Database Release 10.2.0.2 is not supported any more.

  • How to monitor BI & PI using Solution Manager 4.0

    Hi, we have installed Netweaver 04S SR2 SP11 BI & PI components. We want to use Solution Manager 4.0 to setup monitoring for these 2 systems. Any guide or documentation will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.
    Arshish

    Hi Arshish,
         To setup monitoring you will first have to include these systems in the system landscape of SAP solution Manager 4.0 in transaction SMSY.
    The steps in the order are :
    1. Create Server ( Server name ,IP and Fully qulaified Host name)
    2.Create Database  (Give the database you are using)
    3.Then you have to create the system itself. and give the information as required.You will be able to do it when you will go through it.
    Then you have to generate the RFC's from solution manager to satellite systems and back.These RFC's have to be trusted.Assign role SAP_S_RFCACL or profile S_RFCACL  to the users in SOLMAN as well as satellite system.
    Follow these steps and create a Logical component for the system that you have added.
    Follow these steps first.More information can be found out on
    service.sap.com\solutionmanager
    or you can look for the RKT'S on service marketplace.If you need any furthur assistance do reply back.
    please award points if found helpful

  • Where do I set the polling frequency for Technical monitoring in Solution Manager 7.1 SP10 ??

    Hi All,
    I am customizing my technical monitoring templates and would like to know :
    1. Where we can set the polling frequency for each metrics for triggering alerts through Technical monitoring in Solution Manager 7.1 SP10 ??
    2. Is it like each time our threshold is breached, it will send an alert irrespective of polling frequency ??
    I know the data collection interval time for each metrics in technical monitoring template but the as per my observation the polling frequency is different.
    Need your guidance.

  • Project Management using Solution Manager

    Hi,
    We are trying to use solution Manager for managing our IT projects - specifically for SAP projects.
    We browsed through the existing functionalities that are available and are not able to get info on the following:
    ___Project Admin tab for Roadmaps :_ __ In the transaction RMMAIN, we are able to define the scope of the activities at each phase and assign team members and track the status of the activity / task.
    However we do not have the tab for tracking the planned start date / end date and the actual start / end dates. Similar is the case for efforts.
    So not sure how to track these?
    Integration of Roadmaps and Blueprints : Once we have defined the project and assigned the Roadmap, we have all the activities that need to be tracked. In addition in transaction SOLAR01 / SOLAR02, we can define the scope and configurations which in itself are a kind of sub projects to be embedded withing the Blueprint and realization phases respectively of the main Projetc Plan.
    How to link these Blueprint specific plan and the realization related plan to the main project plan created out of the Roadmap chosen and to track them as one single project?
    Synchronization wih ms project : I see only the option to download the plan as an mpp file. But is there any option to upload mpp as well so that the project can be tracked using mpp and synchronized with Solution manager at frequent intervals?
    Your answers would definitely be helping us a lot and would be greatly appreciated.
    thanks in advance.
    regards,
    suresh velan

    Hi Suresh,
    Solution Manager is a Project Management tool. But it is not for Project Planning. If you want to do Project Planning also from the SolMan system, then you have to enable cProjects component of SolMan.
    Synchronization between your MS Project and cProjects is possible. But synchronization between SolMan's RoadMap/Blueprint and MS Project is not possible.
    In RoadMap, you can capture and track the status of all phase-wise activities as to what is their status. Here capturing date details is not possible.
    In Blueprint/Configuration you can capture and keep track of the individual object's blueprinting and configuration activities. Here you can capture the planned/actual start/end dates for each object.
    As I said earlier, Solution Manager provides lot of Project Management features, but Project Planning is not possible. For that we have to start using cProjects component in SolMan.
    Hope it helps.
    best regds,

  • Using Solution Manager 7.0 to Generate Solution Key for SAP Netweaver 7.3 ?

    Hi, SDN Gurus.
    We are running Solution Manager 7.0.
    I am trying to generate solution key for SAP Netweaver 7.3 system. When I was creating a new system (in TCode SMSY);  I only see Newtweaver 7.1 is the latest version available in the SAP Netweaver  product version drop down list.
    Is that true that I always need to upgrade the latest/compatible version (SP & patches) of SAP Solution Manager to generate solution key for the latest released of SAP products?
    If this is the case, what version of SAP Solution Manager I need to create new system and generate solution key for SAP Netweaver 7.3? 
    Thanks for advices,
