  • Working on Solution Manager

    Hi Gurus,
    in our project we are having to work through solution Manager. I am new to the solution Manager environment.
    a) Is there any link that helps us understand the basics of working on solution manager.
    b) Also, i understand we need to give the transaction codes that we work on in solution manager. (But in HCM as we work in the IMG the transaction code is always seen as SPRO for most of the configuration)
    c) How do we set the T Codes for entire configuration?
    We have the sub modules
    a) Personnel Administration (Recruitment Included)
    b) Organisation Management
    c) Time Management
    d) Payroll
    e) Personnel Development (PMS- OSA)
    f) Training and event Management
    g) ESS and MSS
    Awaiting your reply and Thanks in advance

  • Install both SAP ECC 6.0 EHP 4 and Solution Manager in C drive

    Hi, SDN fellows.
    I just want to confirm this.
    I am trying to install SAP ECC 6.0 EHP 4 and Solution Manager in C drive. Are these OK, since they both will be installed under the C:\usr folder?
    What precaution we need to install these two SAP components in the same drive (C)?
    I am installing both components in MS Window Server 2008 R2 SP1 with MS SQL Server 2005 SP3.
    Thanks,
    KC

    Hi, Nick.
    Sorry, I missed the "IDES". I am installing SAP ECC6.0 EHP4 IDES system for training purpose within the organization.
    I am referring to the Installation Guide - SAP ERP 6.0 EHP Ready ABAP on Window MS SQL Server (Based on NW 7.0 incl EHP 1). All downloaded installation files are from: EHP4 for SAP ERP 6.0/NW7.01 --> IDES --> --> Widnows Server --> MS SQL Server.
    The OS is installed in C drive.
    I have allocated 250GB in C drive and 200GB in D drive from SAN.
    For IDES system (I know it is similar to the standard ECC), is it also recommended to install in D drive (separate from the OS)?
    In this case, should I install both Solution Manger and IDES in D drive?
    Or what is the best combination where I should install these two systems?
    Thanks,
    KC

  • Solution Manager 4.0 Implementation Tools Experience Information

    Hi,
    We are looking at implementing the Blueprint, Configuration and Test Manager implementation tools for SM 4.0 to assist with our ERP2005 upgrade from 4.6C.
    We have gone through pretty much everything that is available online for SM in SAP Service Marketplace and have taken SM training SMI310. We are at the next step of proceeding with the implementation.
    I am looking for <b>anyone who has gone through an SM implementation</b> and can help with documented standards, templates and defined processes and user roles for Solution Manager implementation of the Blueprint, Configuration and Test Manager implementation tools.
    Anything that can give us a better understanding and a head start to our SM implementation would be appreciated.

    Hi
    To answer some of your questions:
    Keywords: We have used keyword "In scope" on structure nodes (processes, process steps) to allow the consultants to add relevant processes and documentation which is not relevant for the current project but must likely will be later. The keyword can then be used as a filter when generating blueprint.
    Furthermore we have used keywords related to prototypes - so it is easy to apply a filter to show eg. which scenarios/processes are included in prototype1, prototype2 and so on,
    We have a long list of documentation types, based on the best practice templates. Too many to list here.
    Solution manager keeps track of document versions (history), so we use the standard status codes: "in process", when worked on. "review", when submittet to approval and "released" when finished.
    There is no technical difference between doing config from SM vs in dev system  - as you basically access the img. But for people used to workíng in Dev system directly, it is a quite new way to work. And there are some configuration items not in the IMG - which then cannot be linked into SM.
    IMG objects will appear in several processes, and one option is to link in the same img objects in several processes, and then place the documentation along with the objects in a way where the consultant use the "where used" function on img objects to check if it has already been used elsewhere, and then create a link to the documentation there, and work in the same document. But in several cases they would have to start a new document, if it is not logical to add to other documents containing info on how the img object is configured.
    You can use the standard roles for application consultant and project manager - they should cover implementation needs.
    Hope some of this information is useful
    Regards
    Lars

    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
    Kind regards

  • Installation of Solution Manager

    Please understand that I am very new at this so if this question causes a laugh then I do not mind - as long as I get the clarification of where I am going wrong smile.
    I need to install solution manager on V5R4. According to the latest on SAP that is version 4.0. However what is available  is DB2/400 ASCII.
    I want to do a UNICODE installation and as far as I know ASCII is non unicode - is this correct? I also want to be on Netweaver 2005 and not 04 or 04s.

    Hello Anette,
    I hope the followings would help:
    -Like Victor said, IBM has a 4 days training on SAP on iSeries.  I took it this Febr. (in the U.S, so I don't know if they offer it in Europe, because there was a student came all the way from Denmark).  The material is just a bit out dated, mainly on 6.20/6.40 and not on the 7.0, but the material provides enough info for starter.
    - I just finished installing Sol Manager 4.0 on V5R3, and had a post in the forum.
    You might search on it for reference.  The folks in the forum are great help.
    What I had learned was
    1.  make sure prepare your AS400 per IBM apar for SAP, have all require ***, data, hyper...in place. 
    2. Next is, for my situation because I am installing with Sol Magr SR1, so I need to patch ISERPACK8, nw04scontrolsr1, which you might not need if you are installing with Sol Mgr Sr2.
    3. DO NOT edit/change master password at sumary page.  We changed at parameter summary page and this caused problem.
    4. if you got stuck with Java phases, install latest SAPJ2EE and DW patch.
    5. oh yah, per recommandation, make sure to get the latest IBM JDBC driver from IBM website, I think it's JTOpen level 5.3
    Other than that, the installation went very smooth.
    I hope the info helps.
    Good luck.
    Elizabeth.

  • Configuring Solution Manager: Alternative Role to SAP_ALL

    This is a general question regarding configuring Solution Manager and note 834534.  I am configuring Solution Manager 7.0 at a client site.  The main components that I am configuring are on the Monitoring and Operations side; for example, System Monitoring,  Service Desk, Issue Management, and Change Management for Maintenance Optimizer.  CHaRM will follow later on.  Additionally, the client would like to use the project side of Solution Manager.
    When I took training for Solution Manager from SAP, the SAP instructor advised the class to have SAP_ALL when configuring Solution Manager  The problem I am having is that the client will not issue me SAP_ALL in the Solution Manager instance, regardless of the recommendation in note 834534.  I can understand the client's reluctance to issue SAP_ALL, even though Solution Manager is not a financial system in of itself, however, I have found that I am constantly having to ask for authorizations as I step through the wizards and the Scenario-specific settings.  When I run into issues which require further investigation by running transactions to check certain settings that are not specifically tiedd to a wizard or scenario-specific setting transaction, I run into further delays as I ask for additional authorizations to troubleshoot issues.
    We have implemented the roles and assigned them to my ID in Solution Manager as outlined by the SAP Solution Manager Security Guide to the fullest extent possible; and I have been issued "Basis Roles" that the client issues to their Basis team.  Regardless of these actions, I still run into authorization issues.
    My question is, apart from the SAP Solution Manager Security Guides recommendations (which does not mention SAP_ALL), is there a role being developed, or has been developed that can be assigned to the Solution Manager configurator in lieu of SAP_ALL (as per note 834534)?  I would think that this issue has been raised before, particularly since many companies have implemented SOX controls and are skittish about issuing SAP_ALL.
    Your feedback is most appreciated.

    Thanks for the reply, Nesimi.
    While I appreciate that you do not use SAP_ALL, is that the case when you are configuring a brand new, clean system?  Are you using the Configuration Wizards with out SAP_ALL? I ask this because when I ran the first configuration wizard, one of the steps is to create a "configuration user", which creates a user with SAP_ALL. However, I cannot use that wizard generated user ID because it has the role SAP_ALL.
    In general, I am operating on 3 sources of information that says I need SAP_ALL to configure the system (not necessarily to operate it):
    1.  An SAP Instructor for the Solution Manager Operations and Monitoring Class
    2.  The IMG Activity "Create Configuration User" documenation in SPRO
    3.  Note 834534
    I will review the english version of the link http://help.sap.com/saphelp_smehp1/helpdata/de/40/8ac473d40943ddb23def12bdb33437/frameset.htm that you have thoughtfully provided. 
    With respect to note 123640, I am not sure if that solves my problem or answers the fundemental question that I have in that given the 3 sources I quoted above.  It seems to me that SAP's approach in indicating clearly that they prefer that the configuration user should have SAP_ALL is flawed given today's corporate governence policies.  Clearly this recommendation is only for the initial configuration, and SAP_ALL can be taken away and replaced by the roles and recommendations in the SolMan security guide; to maintain Solution Manager.  But when it comes down to the question "what do you need to configure Solution Manager, because we won't give you SAP_ALL", I am hard pressed to give an answer despite literally spending hundreds of hours researching "documenation" which does not give clear cut answers.  I think SAP needs to address this issue instead of taking the easy way out and saying you need "SAP_ALL" as illustrated in the 3 sources of readily available information cited above.

  • Issue management in Solution manager

    Hi,
    We are in design phase for Solution manager 4.0. The requirement is now that we want to Internally (250 Sap experts divided in functional groups) involve other support groups or employees to the support message.
    From the theories available I would say to use Issues (SLF2 or SLFI (4.0), linked to the support message (SLFN), eventual changes can be linked to this issue as well. within the issue it is possible to assign tasks to groups and(?)/or employees.
    When a change request is available, no issue is necessary to involve (assign tasks) to employees or groups?
    Another sound here is to use the "task" message in order to involve other people.
    I am wondering what would be the smartest solution and why. Please help.
    Jos

    Nadine the only pain that I see by using the Issues Management component for project issues is that people who wont normally log into Solution Manager (project managers, integration leads, org change leads, etc) will now need a SAP user ID and training on the system. Even though this is very minimal training, and its probably good for them to use the SAP interface, it isnt as quick as using Sharepoint, an E room or spreadsheets.
    But if it is project issues associated to business processes (thats how it sounds based on your other posts), this could be very useful. Again the functionality is mature enough to deploy according to your requirements, but prepared for some whining and pushback.
    Good luck

  • Discovery System for Solution Manager

    I'm looking for an SAP system I can install or access that has the latest Solution Manager code, with sufficent data so that I can perform practical training exercises.  Unfortunately, there's little scope for experimenting with these systems due to the possible impact on production systems and projects, so I don't want to "play" with any of my customers systems except as a last resort.
    I'm open to paying for acces, subject to cost and suitability.
    PS  If that last line (about paid access) contravenes SDN policy,  I have no problem wit hsomeone deleting the post and advising me to repost the thread without reference to cmomercial   considerations

  • Integrating third party monitoring solutions to sap solution manager

    Hello, All.
    We do need to integrate our own monitoring solution to SAP Solution Manager. Can you please let us know about the steps that need to be carried to achieve the same.
    Thank you.
    Thanks,
    Prasanna.

    Hi Prasanna,
    Since the solman reload monitoring data in CCMS, you need to make sure that your CCMS can monitor the third party software/hardware via CCMS agent.
    I suggest you to check the ADM106 training documents for CCMS configuration.
