Hi
In solman you have SOL_MAN_DATA_REP as main IBASE or 1 and other managed systems will be attached to it as a component.
and you can check it in IB53 by entering "1" in the initial screen
For automatic generation you can use tcode IB_GEN and all the connected systems ibase will be generated and attached to ur ibase
Morever theoretically,
An installed base can be described as a multilevel structure of installed base components for managing objects (for example, devices, machines, software) that are installed, or are going to be installed on site at the customer site. An installed base can represent the reference basis for services.
An installed base describes the hierarchical structure of these objects and their individual parts (components
In business processes, an installed base can be referred to as a general unit or as an individual element (component).
The set of installed objects at the customeru2019s can be used, for example:
·        To determine the exact object for which a problem has been reported
·        To determine in detail what the transaction (for example, visit by field service representative, repair by a service employee) refers to
·        By the service employee as information about which object is affected and the parts it consists of
·        For documenting changes made to objects
Hope it helps and doubt is cleared

    Hi,
    Solution Manger is a central platform for all solutions.
    Its a Support hub and gateway between SAP serivce market and the customer.
    It helps in providibg tools, content, procedures,services to implement and operate the SAP solutions.
    It helps in improving the IT services for a business and reduce the Downtimes to reduce the production loss.
    It also helps in facing and solving technical risks.
    Initially to upgrade the SAP related softwares Solution manager was not in need, but in the Netweaver level to upgrade Solution manager is a must decided but SAP at Germany.
    So in a landscape Solution manager is also installed in a separate system and oneside connected to servicemarket and otherside to the landscape at your place.
    Its mostly related to Basis Part of SAP.
    I think this would give you an idea of what is SolMan.
    Reward if useful.

  • Questions on "FAQ - SAP Solution Manager for VARs"

    Hi,
    I just got through the FAQ - SAP Solution Manager for VARs, but have some further questions:
    For me it is not quite clear which connections are necessary for which VAR scenrio.. currently we have setup the service desk in our solman. Customer's aren't linked to the solman yet - we have saprouter-saprouter connections. Connecting them via SAP support backbone is an interesting option, especially for incident management. To get this working we should follow note 1124718 right?
    But what about the other scenarios like maintenance optimizer and ewa monitoring? I guess for that we definitly need to build up RFC connections to each relevant customer system (~300+x)?! I think it will be hard to handle so many connections - just consider if a customer is cancalling the maintenance contract, everything needs to be removed again... best would be to have a central communication point...
    For MOPZ we need up-to-date system information. So everyone is talking about SLD. Do you also recommend this option? There we need again a connection (direct to SolMan SLD or via external SLD on customer side).
    According to the FAQ there is a workaround for ewa monitoring for customers with security doubts.. is this also working for non-ABAP components? We need SMD and WI for generating ewas for JAVA systems...
    With regards to Enterprise Support contract: ewa only need to be monitored for productive systems? Can a customer be charged if they want to have ewas monitored for other sytems too? How long do we need to keep the ewas (1 month, 3 months, half year) before they are deleted? Are there any specific requirements?
    All the work to get these scenarios working.. is this covered within the Enterprise Support contract? Can the customer be charged for work thats done by the VAR in their system (e.g. RFC connections, SDCCN, SLD,...)?
    Sorry for this long text.. hope you have some helpful ideas!
    Regards,
    Richard

    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
    Heinrich

  • Web service available in SAP Solution Manager

    Hi,
    Which are the Webservices available in SAP Solution Manager.
    I want to Integrate HP Openview change request process with SAP Solution Manager ChaRM.
    Regards
    PK
    Edited by: PK on Aug 9, 2010 3:37 PM

    Although the path vary between release - webservices for Solution Manager are usually available in transaction SICF
    under the following path
                     /default_host/sap/bc/solman                      
                     /default_host/sap/bc/bsp/sap/solutionmanager  
    However I am not aware of an webservice/interface from CHARM to 3rd party service desk products
    What is provided as of Solman 7 is an interface between SAP Service Desk and other 3rd party service desk products
    - so if you setup Solution Manager Service Desk you can have a business process from
    Openview ---> SAP Service Desk ---> SAP Charm
    Best wishes

  • Upgrade to SAP Solution Manager 3.2 to 7.0 EHP

    Dear Experts
    At present I am using SAP Solution manager 3.2. Now I am planing to update SAP Solution Manager 7.0.
    I am some confutation in SAP Solution Manager 7.0 and SAP Solution Manager 7.0 EHP1,
    what i do please help me.
    Regards
    Sanjay C.

    EHP1 is basically a product enhancement of 700 - i.e offers new functionality
    Usually to get to Enhancement packages you need to be operating NW2004S stack based product - in this case 4.0 (now called Solution Manager 7.0)
    I think this proposal will require first an upgrade from 3.2 to 4.0
    then after applying Enhancement Package EHP1 and following pre-reqs for both steps
    Also bearing in mind that Solution Manager is RFC dependant any change in SID, Hostname or client will require
    all RFC connections will need to be adapted
    There may also be special considerations depending on source configuration or the active Solution Manager scenarios and content
    I would take a look at following PDF for reference - it may help in the initial 3.2-->4.0 upgrade

  • Please suggest on: SAP Solution Manager Installation

    Hi Experts,
    We are going to install SAP Solution Manager in our landscape. Our present SAP version is: ECC 6.0 and Database is: Oracle 10.2.0.2 and OS is: AIX 5.3
    1. Please suggest us which is the suitable Solution manager version for our environment?
    2. What are the pre-requisites and needful steps to take before starting the installation?
    3. Where can I get complete step by step documents for this activity?
    4. Which OS & DB  is suitable for our environment?
    Thanks in advance!
    Veera

    Can I also ask for some confirmation about a couple of things.  I have looked at the SAP documents but I can't find a definite answer to these questions:
    1.  David Kroone - you say that Solution manager should be set up on a new server but I understand that it is possible to run it on one of our existing R/3 servers.  Is this correct?  Does anyone have any comments about this?
    2.  David - you also say that we can pick any OS & DB for the Solution Manager server. We are running R/3 on Oracle/Solaris but would prefer to run Solution Manager on a Windows server running SQLServer.  Is this definitely OK?  (it would be cheaper though you advise that using the same platform could make it simpler - is this because Solution Manager works better on the same platform or is it just because we would then have a more homogeneous environment?)
    3.  We are currently on 4.7 but plan to move to ECC6 this summer.  We want (need?) to install Solution Manager before we upgrade to ECC6.  Should this affect our decision in anyway?
    Sorry to re-ask the same questions but it's difficult to find a precise answer in the SAP documents.

  • Is SAP Solution manager mandatory for SRM7 implementation?

    Dear experts,
    I get to know that use of SAP solution manager is mandatory for SRM 7 implementation. is it true?
    what is the best practice to manage a SAP SRM implementation project? should we manage the project in SAP SM or outside of it?
    Thanks and regards,
    Ranjan
    Ranjan Sutradhar

    Hi Ranjan,
    Solution Manager is not mandatory for SRM 7 implementation.
    Only thing is Solution Manager contains best pratices for Project implementation e.g AS is process , to be process, blue print etc.
    It is just a guilde. All things might not be  required for your project.
    We did it without solution Manager except that we used it for generating installation key & for maintainance opt.
    Best Wishes,
    Tushar.

    Is there North Bound Interface / API from SAP Solution Manager available for 3rd party integration?
    i. The list of the modules that are being managed by SAP Solution Manager(s)
    ii. The performance metrics of those modules/components at the high level
    iii. The information about Early Watch Alerts (or situations to watch for)
    2)
    Is there a full SNMP interface for getting the above information from SAP Solution Manager?
    3)
    Is that understanding that SAP has SNMP support for forwarding alerts to a 3rd party system, correct?
    4)
    Does SAP has both free and licensed? If yes then what are the advantages of licensed over the open/free version?

    How do I resolve this error?

    Hi Mateus,
    Thanks for your keen interest in assisting.
    This is an excerpt from ST22....even though i am not an ABAP person.
    Error in the ABAP Application Program
    The current ABAP program "CL_POWL_QUERY_API===========CP" had to be terminated becuase it has come accross a statement that
    unfortunately cannot be executed.
    The following syntax error occured in program
    "CL_POWL_UTIL===========CP" in include
    "CL_POWL_UTIL===========CM007" IN
    line 48:
    "Incorrect logical expression: ")" without preceding "("."
    The include has been created and last changed by:
    Created by "SAP"
    Last changed by: "BODE"
    Error in the ABAP Application Program
    The currect ABAP Program "CL_POWL_QUERY_API=============CP" had to be terminated becuase it has come accross
    a statement that unfortunately cannot be executed.
    What can you do?
    Please eliminate the error by performing a syntax check
    (or an extended program check) on the program "CL_POWL_UTIL===========CP".
    You can also perform the syntax check from the ABAP Editor.
    If the problem persists, proceed as follows:
    Note down which actions and inputs caused the error.
    To process the problem further, contact you SAP system administrator.
    Using Transaction ST22 for ABAP Dump Analysis, you can look at and manag termination messages.
    and you can also keep them for a long time.
    When i clicked on the ABAP Editor in ST22, I have the code below
    method GET_QUERIES.
      data: ls_authorities type powl_authorities_sty,
            lt_vistypes type powl_type_tty,

  • Problem installing SAP solution Manager

    Hello,
    I want to install SAP Solution Manager on a LINUX system.
    My system information is:
    >uname -a
    Linux sapsolm1 2.6.9-67.0.1.ELsmp #1 SMP Fri Nov 30 11:57:43 EST 2007 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
    If I follow the installation manual and start sapinst nothing happens as you could see in the log below. If I start "./startInstGui.sh" I get an error message. Does any body have an idea what is wrong on my system why the installation GUI is not starting up?
    I'll start the installation form the path: /backup/51032955/IM_LINUX_X86_64
    The CD number I use is 51032955.
    Many thanks.

    I suggest (to be clean) - start from the beginning.
    Check the installation guide (http://service.sap.com/instguides) - it has a detailed section about what to remove in which directory.
    Also check note 171356 - SAP software on Linux: Essential information for other things you need to install/configure (saplocales etc.)
    Additionally check your distribution specifc configuration settings in note 722273 - Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 and 4: Installation and upgrade (Redhat 4.x assumed).
    Finally check note 861215 - Recommended Settings for the Linux on AMD64/EM64T JVM for the Java settings after you´ve done your installation.
