Upgrade to Solution Manager 7.1 missing Master upgrade DVD

Hi,
I'm upgrading Solution Manager 7.0 EHP1 to Solution Manager 7.1 . I've got the following error;
Please enter mount points for the DVDs required for the upgrade.
Enter at least the mount point containing "Upgrade master DVD"
I Can't find this "Upgrade master DVD" on market place. I've opend an OSS message but no answer yet. Anyone had that problem?
Thanks!

I had the same issue. It turns out that what it was really asking for was a SAP Kernel DVD in the correct format.
When I downloaded the SAP Kernel DVD from the Market Place, the Zip file included a directory for my platform at the first level on the DVD, and then in that directory it contains the LABEL.ASC file.
You need to ensure that when you stage the Kernel DVD, the LABEL.ASC files etc should be in the Top Level directory, or it won't be recognised as a DVD, and you'll get the erroneous message about needing an "Upgrade Export DVD" (which does not exist for Solman 7.1).
Hope this helps!

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.

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.

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.

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!

Solution Manager 7.1 Post-installation upgrade SPS04

Hi
I just installed Solution Manager 7.1, on Windows server 2008 R2 / 64 bits with Oracle database.
In post installation steps I have to update my installation.
According to note 1577909, I have downloaded the Stack DVD : " SAP Solution Manager 7.1 SPS04" from SAP marketplace and copied the java files in usr\sap\trans\EPS\in and unpacked the ABAP files in the same directory.
Then I have downloaded the Stack Kernel files & copied in usr\sap\trans\EPS\in.
Now I'm a little bit confused : I'm supposed to call transaction SAINT and use maintenance xml in the EPS inbox & JSPM and use maintenance XML in the EPS inbox => witch XML files should I use : the one in the support package stack or the one generated in the service marketplace in "link to SP Stack application" ?
Is that all to update my solution manager? what about maintenance optimizer? ( in which I have errors ).
Would the SPS 04 be installed? as well as the stack files?
Is there a guide or a more detailed implementation procedure for this purpose?
Should I make a backup before upgrading?
Thanks for your input.
Guillaume Blanchard

Thanks a lot for your inputs.
1 ) In SP Stack Application, my start SP Stack is "SAP SOLUTION MANAGER 7.1 - ISS Initial Shipment Stack"
and my target one is SAP SOLUTION MANAGER 7.1 - SPS 04 (12/2011 )
I'm in 64 bit so i have selected SAP KERNET 7.20 32-BIT and Alternativest => SAP KERNEL 7.20 EXT 64-BIT but in the next step i have to pick the software component versions : in note 1577909 it's say to only select kernel file, but
I'm gettting warning on the next screen : 9 messages :
- Step 2 : WILY Introscope workstation 8 and Alternative SCV : We recommend selecting at least one alternative
- Step 2 : SAP KERNEL 7.20 32-BIT UNITOCDE and Alternative SCV : We recommend selecting at least one alternative
- Step 2 : SAP IGS 7.20 and Alternative SCV : We recommend selecting at least one alternative
- Step 2 : SAP IGS 7.20 and Alternative SCV : We recommend selecting at least one alternative
- Step 2 : SAP HOST AGENT 7.20 : We recomment selecting at least one alternative
- Step 2 : BMC APPSIGHT BLACKBOX 6.0.2 : We recomment selecting at least one instantiation
- Step 2 : SAP GUI FOR WINDOWS 7.20 CORE : We recomment selecting at least one instantiation
- Step 2 : NWBC NW BUSINESS CLIENT 3.0 : We recomment selecting at least one instantiation
- Step 2 : SAP BUSINESS BLUEPRT TOOL 101 : We recomment selecting at least one instantiation
Is it right to keep up without considering those warnings?
About the ABAP file from the SPS04 dvd there is many files without label : am i supposed to extract all of the SAR files ?
Should i do the same for the sar files downloaded from SP Stack application ?
Should i download the last SPAM/SAINT update from sap marketplace ( 730 ) ? how to install it ?
Is there a guide about this procedure ?
Still Really thanks for the inputs

Create New Service Session at Solution Manager = Product System missing

We have installed SAP EHP 1 for SAP Solution Manager 7.0 last year but not really use it.
We have setup in the system landscape:
Server (ecc6sbx)
Databases (MCD)
Product System (MCD) => SAP ERP
Assigned them to logical component (eg ZECC6DEV)
RFC destination for MCD was generated
SDCCN Administration at solutions manager display MCD with SDCCN status in green color.
At the satellite system MCD, SDCCN Maintenance job was created and scheduled. Initial single run was also done.
There were no issue. Connection to SDCC_OSS was fine.
Back to the SOLUTION_MANAGER transaction, we created a new solution ECC ERP - Development.
In the Solution Landscape => Solution Settings, we have assigned the Logical Component into the System Group.
However when we expand the tree, and click on the Servers folder it did not display anything.
Click on the Product Systems also did not display anything.
We have another Solution Manager which display information on those Servers and Product Systems folder for satellite system.
Going back to the Solution Manager for the Solution ECC ERP - Development, I tried to Create New Service Session for EarlyWatch Alert. When I click on the Create button, I could only see SAP EarlyWatch Alert for Solutions, there is no SAP EarlyWatch Alert for the Reference Object MCD (<installation number). I could not create a session for MCD.
Does anyone have ideas what I am missing here? I am trying to attached a document which have print screen for reference while creating this message, but there is no such function here.
Adding to link to the document file contain print screen

Anyway, in the solution manger how to we setup earlywatch alert for the SM SID host itself (source system)?
I have the information on the below from our solution manger
The data for this session is overdue. Data has not yet been transferred from the associated satellite system.
Go to the Service Data Control Center (transaction SDCCN) in the satellite system and check why the data has not been sent.
Typical sources of errors are:
The RFC connection for the SAP Solution Manager system is not working.
The 'Task Processor' background job, which collects the session data, has been changed.
Problems arose while data was being collected (see the detail log for the task that collects the session data).
A periodic 'SDCC Maintenance Package' task has not been scheduled to check whether your SAP Solution Manager system requests session data.
I tried to go SDCCN on the solution manager itself and look at the Maintenance Service Definitions:
I get the information:
No suitable RFC Destination found in SDCCN settings.
When I click ok I get the following
No RFC destionation to source system of service definitions available
Delete Service Definitions (radio button selected).
I did not continue and cancel it as I did not want to delete anything.
I check the Task Processor background job is running at SM host itself.
I managed to get the Maintenance Package job running. However it failed with the following
Error refreshing service definitions from destination SM_SSMCLNT001_BACK
Source and target system may not be identical SSM
The source and target system is the same ==> SSM, will this be an issue?

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

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.

When I try to run the JPREPARE command( /dump/smrtest/SMR_UP/51036444/JPREPARE) I get the following error message

Read the documentation about SAPJup - you have to change the default port (because most likely your ABAP part uses that one).

Upgrade to Solution Manager 7.1 stopped in phase DEPLOY_ONLINE_DEPL

Dears,
we are upgrading our Solution Manaher from Ehp1 for Nw 70, to Nw.71.
While on the ABAP tab is in progress the phase MAIN_NEWBAS\TABIM_UPG on the J2EE tab we are blocked in phase DEPLOY_ONLINE_DEPL.
As suggested from the Ehpi screen we read note 1399846, but our case is different so the note is not usable.
First in the logs we have the message:
Mar 5, 2012 4:54:26 PM [Info]: Processing request to deploy queue sapjup-queue.
Mar 5, 2012 4:54:26 PM [Error]: Login not performed yet. JSPM not initialized.
Mar 5, 2012 4:54:26 PM [Error]: Could not process deploy queue sapjup-queue request.
Mar 5, 2012 4:54:26 PM [Error]: java.lang.NullPointerException: while trying to invoke the method com.sap.sdt.jspm.model.JspmDataModelIF.save() of an object loaded from field com.sap.sdt.jspm.deployment.queuemanager.QueueManager.dataModel of an object loaded from local variable this
Mar 5, 2012 4:54:26 PM [Error]: Login not performed yet. JSPM not initialized.
That's different respect to the Oss note, then second we did not start manually the JSPM.
How we can go ahead ?
We did not find any Oss Note for this error.
Regards

after a reboot of the system and a restart of the upgrade process the
error changed and it was as described in note 1399846.
So we applied the workaround suggested, but now we have a new error.
If we restart the upgrade process doing first startsap(so starting both Abap+Java), the upgrade process for the J2EE tab complains the stack provided and used till now (we are already in the DOWNTIME phase) does not match the system status.
If we restart the upgrade leaving the Abap+java instances down the upgrade process complain the SDM is nit 'is not
able to connect to the system.
I read somewhere It's possible to disable the upgrade process for the Java stack, in order to complete that one for the ABap stack.
Then for the Java Stack we could use the normal JSPM, but I'm not able to find the relative Oss note.
Any advise ?

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,
KC

Upgrade CRM 3.0 to CRM 5.0 -Is solution manager by SAP required?

Hello CRM gurus,
We are currently running on CRM version 3.0 and planning an upgrade to CRM 5.0.
Is solution manager absolutely required for this upgrade. I know that SAP heighly recommends it but is it absoutely required.
Also, could you please give me few inputs if you did the upgrade with/without the solution manager?
Thanks for your inputs,
Prasoon

Hi Prasoon,
in the <a href="http://service.sap.com/~sapidb/011000358700005413872005E">CRM 5.0 Upgrade Master Guide</a> I found this:
"Use of SAP Solution Manager is mandatory for mySAP CRM 2005. When you install SAP CRM 5.0 ABAP server or upgrade to this release, you are asked to enter a key generated by the Solution Manager. For more information, see the installation or upgrade guide for SAP CRM 5.0."

Solution Manager Upgrade ST-PI and ST-A/PI

System Details:
SAP ERP 6.0 (BASIS 700) / SQL SERVER 2005
Windows
Hi
We are planning to upgrade our ST-PI from 2005_1_700(0006) to 2008_1_700(0000) in our ERP System and BW System.
Similarly we are also planning to upgrade ST-A/PI from 01K_ECC600 to 01L_ECC600.
In the process, I am planning to upgrade SPAM/SAINT as well as R3Trans and tp.
We are planning to implement this in
01) ERP --> DEV, QAS, and PRD.
02) BW --> DEV, QAS and PRD.
Should we also upgrade our Solution manager system. If so, how to find the prerequisities.
Thanking you in anticipation
Best Regards
Raghunahth L

Hi Uday,
Thanks a lot for replying again.
Infact, I had already gone throught the note 781448.
But what really fishy is, using Solution Manager you have to do a lot of work like
downloading latest patches, configuring EWA Alert etc and for everything you need to get connected with SAP Network.
Since ST-A/PI is the core software which plays the communication part with SAP Network,
and Solution Manager is the System playing the key role (as per SAP), but funny thing is
that they have released the latest Patch for all systems except Solution Manager System.
Even though it is being the fact, it is very hard to believe. Anyway thanks a lot for your time and your inputs were reassuring.
Best regards,
Raghunahth L
