What is Main Instance in Solution Manager

Hi all
I read many times we have Main Instances for satelite system in Solution Manager.
Actually what is it ?
Thank you
Halomoan

Hello Halomoan,
Well, I think the following should clear your doubts.
Here, I am giving you an example of creating a new system in SolMan System Landscape.
--> Goto SMSY
--> Right click on Systems from System Landscape tab select Create new system with Assistant.
--> Click on Continue.
--> Enter SID, Description, Select Product from the list and version in the following list. Enter the installation number.
--> Click on Continue. Here I am selecting SAP Solution Manager as Product and Solution Manager 4.0 as version.
Now, you will see the following list with the check boxes next to it to choose.
   SAP Solution Manager
   Plug Ins for Satellite Systems
   Solution Manager Diagnostics
   Agents for Satellite Systems
If you choose SAP Solution Manager, and    Plug Ins for Satellite Systems it will give you an error saying Only one ABAP main instance can be flagged as relevant. So, only one ABAP system it lets you choose.
Hope it helps. Let me know if you have any more questions on this.
Cheers,
Satish.

  • What is exactly a IBASE in SAP Solution manager

    Dear all
    I'm making the configuration of service desk on SAP Solution manager, and then i have to make a set up of IBASE. Can anyone tel me what exactly is IBASE in solution manager?
    thanks
    Edited by: hchabi on Apr 1, 2010 1:45 PM

    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

  • Solution Manager best practices about environments

    Hello,
    we intend to use Solution Manager 4.0.
    My question : I wonder whether we need to have a single instance a SM (production) or whether we need to have multiple instances (one development SM where developments and customizing will be performed and one production SM populated with transport requests coming from the development SM) ?
    What are the best practices ?
    Thank you.
    Regards,
    Fabrice

    Dear Fabrice,
    In principle you donot need to have 2 instances of Solution Manager. 1 Instance is sufficient enough for monitoring all the Satellite Systems.
    However if you intending to have Customized ABAP on Solution Manager then it might be a good idea to do so in an different client in the same instance keeping the client as an development client.
    Most of the customizing in Solution Manager is non transportable hence it should be directly done in the productive client.
    Hope this answers your queries.
    Regards

  • Question about Alert Framework in Solution Manager

    Hi all,
    We are planning to use Solution Manager as Central Monitoring Server, so I want to know what the advantage to use Solution Manager is, especially in Alerting.
    We can define auto-reaction methods for monitors to send CCMS alerts to Alert Framework where the alerts can be forwarded to the personal responsible via Email or CCMS.
    Is there any difference when using Solution Manager? Which additional functions dose Solution Manager provide in alerting?
    In normal SAP Alert Framework, you can only define one receipt for escalation. Can Solution Manager support multiple level escalation? For example, an alert is sent to A, if the Alert is not confirmed by A, then the alert is forwarded to B automatically. The same way the alert can be forwarded to further persons.
    Any idea?
    Thanks!
    Regards,
    Hui

    Hi Hui,
    On my opinion there is no any advantage in useíng SAP Solution Manager as central alerting systems in respect to RZ20. The arguments are as follows:
    - in SAP Solution Mnager you have performance restrictions on number of alerts to be displayed in one screen caused by the fact that the alerts are displayed in HTTP format
    - All the customizing in SAP Solution Manager for System Monitoring is Solution specific and not transportable. It means that if you have got corrupted your system monitoring session (that happens not seldom) your settings are lost. If you have created another Solution for the same systems you have to perform customizing from the scratch
    - Customizing is also not very esay to do. I would do recommend to use "User defined Alerts" Please have a look at the SAP Note 1023959 fro this topc
    - SAP Solution Manager does not provide alerting mechanism -> you have to relay to ALM in any case. Here by the way to your second question I would say that it is possible implement exactly process you have described. In the ALM category you can use button escallation to define another person that would be informed via e-mail in case the first Recipient have not completed alert from this category within predefined time
    + The only feature that is unique with System Monitoring with SAP Solution Mnager is the possibility to change threshold values for all the MTEs / MTE Classes that are defined in User Define Alerts an one button click
    At the conclussion I would say that there are some custommers that are using SM as monitoring platform But more pragmatical would be to configure RZ20 with help of Rule-based alerts and self- defined system groups and use ALM as alerting infrastructure. In this case you can save in plain XML file your Alert configuration and export it in any other system. ALM has on my opinion enogh functionality for alerting

  • 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

    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
