System Preparation
System Preparation Roadmap

The scenario System Preparation consists of


the following steps
Create Users
Check Installation
Implement SAP Note
Configure Connectivity
Prepare Landscape Description
Complete

2013 SAP AG. All rights reserved. Public 11


System Preparation
Create Users

In the first step dialog and system users are created which are needed later during the System
Preparation:
Select a user to create or
update
Create a new user or
update the authorizations
of an existing user
If the user creation is
performed manually,
check the respective
checkbox (4):

Provide the manually created user


and a password for later use in
SOLMAN Setup
Solution Manager will then not check
the existence, password correctness
or the authorizations of the user in this
case, therfore make sure the user is
correct

2013 SAP AG. All rights reserved. Public 12


System Preparation
Configure Web Dispatcher

If your SAP Solution Manager systems runs more than one instance a Web Dispatcher is
required:
The web dispatcher manages the load balancing of the several web service calls between the diagnostics agents and the
Solution Manager ABAP stack, and the Solution Manager ABAP and Java stack

Enter the URL and the port for the


Web Dispatcher
Save the entries

For more information about installing a SAP Web Dispatcher, and configuration
options, see SAP Help Portal at URL Generation in an AS-ABAP - Web Dispatcher
Configuration*

2013 SAP AG. All rights reserved. Public 13


System Preparation
Set Authentication Types for Web Services

In this step you explicitly allow SAP Solution Manager to create web services using the
following authentication types:
Basic Authentication
X.509 Certificate Authentication
Ticket Authentication

Read the documentation provided


for the activity
Start transaction SOAMANAGER
or click on the provided navigation
link
Activate all authentication
methods and save your changes

The explicit setup is necessary


for security compliance reasons

2013 SAP AG. All rights reserved. Public 14


System Preparation
Set Authentication Policy for Agents

Starting with Solution Manager 7.1 the diagnostics agents can be connected with certificate
based authentication to SAP Solution Manager. This has the following benefits:
Prevents agents locking the agent connection user because of a wrong password
The password of the connection user (SMD_ADMIN) does not expire
Diagnostics agents having authentication issues will show up on the tab
Non-authenticated agents in the Agent Administration UI*

New agents and agents (re)connecting to Solution Manager will


automatically use this authentication method after the next agent
connection

Even if the password is not expiring anymore, please note that the
certificate itself only has a restricted validity. Make sure to recreate a
new certificate before the old one expires.

2013 SAP AG. All rights reserved. Public 15


System Preparation
Select SLD

This step enables SAP Solution Manager to access to the System Landscape Directory (SLD):
If SLDs exist specify all of them, which are connected to either Managed Systems or Diagnostics agents, via the Add SLD
Server button
Register Solution Manager in one of the SLDs by choosing the Target of SAP Solution Manager DS radio button
If no SLD yet exists, you can set up a local one in the SAP Solution Manager system

2013 SAP AG. All rights reserved. Public 16


System Preparation
Set Up LMDB

In this step the synchronization between LMDB and one ore more SLDs is set up:
The Landscape Management Database (LMDB) synchronizes with the System Landscape Directory (SLD) to collect the
following information from the system landscape:
SAP Software Catalog (CR content)
CIM Model
Technical system
landscape descriptions

2013 SAP AG. All rights reserved. Public 17


System Preparation
Migrate Data into LMDB

In this step, the System Landscape information can be migrated from the SMSY. The SMSY was
used in earlier releases and contains information that cannot be provided by an SLD:
It is strongly recommended to perform the Product System migration

This migration is necessary after an


update or upgrade from SAP Solution
Manager below 7.1 SP04 to avoid
manual recreation.

2013 SAP AG. All rights reserved. Public 18


System Preparation
Prepare Outside Discovery - Overview

SAP Solution Manager uses different agents for the monitoring of the landscape. In this step
the agents are installed:
Install the agents on all hosts on which one or more of the following is running:
A Managed System which should be connected to SAP Solution Manager
A CA Wily Introscope Enterprise Manager
A Standalone database
A third party product not registered to an SLD

For more detailed information please refer


to the agent installation strategy document
attached to SAP note 1365123.

2013 SAP AG. All rights reserved. Public 19


System Preparation
Prepare Outside Discovery Diagnostics Agents Installation

For Diagnostics Agents the following activities have to be performed:


On each Logical Host on which a managed object is running:
Provide a Diagnostics Agent: Either install a dedicated Diagnostics Agent or use the agents on-the-fly functionality

Please refer to the agent installation strategy documentation attached to SAP Note 1365123

For complex system landscapes mass-deployment of the Diagnostics Agents can be achieved by running the SAP installer in unattended mode. See
SAP Note 1486330 for details

Each Diagnostics Agent can report to exactly one SAP Solution Manager, in multi-tier landscapes several Diagnostics Agents per host are needed,
e.g. to connect development systems to the development/test Solution Manager and to the productive Solution Manager

It is highly recommended to install all agents and


plug-ins for a system before starting with the managed
systems configuration.

Please visit the SOLMAN_SETUP Wiki in SDN to


learn about the Managed System Setup prerequisites

2013 SAP AG. All rights reserved. Public 20


System Preparation
Connect Diagnostics Agents

In this step all necessary Diagnostics Agents are connected to the Solution Manager system:
Only agents using the SLD connection method, connected to an SLD known to Solution Manager are visible
Select the SLD* that contains your agents and click Get Agents to retrieve the agents

The agents of the following systems


need to be connected
Managed Systems
Introscope Enterprise Manager
Solution Manager itself (Self-
Monitoring)

Only agents using the direct connection


method, are visible in the SMD Agent
Administration (http://<SolMan-
Host>:5XX00/smd/AgentAdmin). You can later
push the SLD settings to all agents via
Advanced Settings Agent Candidates
Management

*The list of SLDs is maintained in step 5.1

A logical component is created for SAP Solution Manager
Solution Manager and all production systems known in Solution Manager which are not yet part of a Solution are added to the
SAP Solution, this makes sure that:
You can perform Service Delivery for all production systems
SAP EarlyWatch Alert is scheduled for all production systems

2013 SAP AG. All rights reserved. Public 25


Basic Configuration
Specify SAP BW System

In this step it is defined witch BW system SAP Solution Manager will use:
Solution Manager uses a BW system to store data collected during monitoring for reporting and long term analysis
SAP recommends setting up BW in the production SAP Solution Manager client
A separate BW system can be used for Solution Manager
Its not recommended to use the company's business BW system together with SAP Solution Manager
If you use a separate BW system, please make sure that the BI_CONT and the ST-BCO is always the level as required by
the Solution Manager (SAP Note 1483508)

By default the BW client is always set to client 001.


The BW environment setting can be changed using
function module RS_MANDT_UNIQUE_SET if:
Another client than 001 is used as production
Solution Manager client BW should be set up in
this client
BW should be set up in a separate Solution
Manager client and this client is not 001
BW should be set up on a separate system but the
client is not 001

2013 SAP AG. All rights reserved. Public 26


Basic Configuration
Create Users

In the first step the dialog and system users are created which are used later in the System
Preparation:
Select the user you want
to create or update
Create a new user or
update the authorizations
of an existing user
If user management is
performed manually,
check the respective
checkbox User creation
and role assignment
performed manually
Provide the manually created user
and a password for later use in
SOLMAN Setup
Solution Manager will then not check
the existence, password correctness
or the authorizations of the user in this
case, therefore, please make sure the
user is correct

Basic Configuration
Configure CA Wily Introscope

In this sub-step CA Introscope Enterprise Manager is connected to Solution Manager:


It is possible to connect already existing Introscope Enterprise Managers
The recommended version to be used is Wily Introscope Enterprise Manager 9.1

Prerequisites:
A Diagnostics agents needs to be installed and connected to
Solution Manager on the Wily EM host
The operating system user of the Diagnostics agent (default:
daaadm for UNIX and SAPServiceDAA for Windows) needs read
and write access to the Wily EM installation directory (default:
/urs/sap/ccms/wilyintroscope)

* Dependencies on IS Bytecode agents:


IS BC Agent 9 support only Java 5 and higher
IS BC Agent 8 is needed to manage older managed systems running with
Java 4
Deploy both SCAs on Solution Manager Java Stack, automatic
deployment of the appropriate BC Agent depending on the JVM of the
managed system

2013 SAP AG. All rights reserved. Public 28


Basic Configuration
Maintain Systems in IBase

In this step, IBase components and objects that represent systems are created:
The systems need to be maintained in the IBase of SAP Solution Manager to be used in ITSM
All systems in LMDB and SMSY need to be maintained in IBase

1. Run the report COM_PRODUCT_UPDATE

Managed Systems Configuration
Overview

All technical systems known in LMDB are visible in the Managed Systems Configuration:
Single technical systems can be found under the tab Technical Systems
Also the single stacks of dual-stack systems are visible here, but the configuration is performed in scenario context
Dual-stack system are visible under the tab Technical Scenarios
The technical scenario Dual Stack is created by Solution Manager automatically, if it finds an ABAP stack with a matching Java stack in LMDB
during LMDB sync
To configure a dual-stack system, always start the configuration for the technical scenario
Standalone databases and system databases are visible under the tab Databases
System databases are set up together with the technical system or the technical scenario they belong to
Standalone hosts are visible under the tab Hosts
A host needs to be configured explicitly to activate Diagnostics agent nodes

If the system is not displayed in the technical system list, check if it is properly connected to SLD, for more information see:
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/SMSETUP/Maintenance+of+Product+in+the+System+Landscape

Managed Systems Configuration
Assign Product

The first step is to maintain the Managed System information in LMDB, this includes:
Assigning the technical system(s) to a product system
Selecting the product instances that are diagnostics relevant
Assigning the technical system to a logical component

2013 SAP AG. All rights reserved. Public 35


Managed Systems Configuration
Assign Product Set Diagnostics Relevant Flag

Set Diagnostics Relevant Flag:


There are three ways to set the Diagnostics
Relevant flag:

A. Set the Diagnostics Relevant flag


automatically

Or edit the assignment manually. To do this


choose Edit Assignment

B. Set the Diagnostics Relevant flag on the


Product Instances tab. Here the flag is
also set for all assigned product instances
for which a Diagnostics template exist

C. Set the Diagnostics Relevant flag for


selected product instances on the
Product Instances (Details) tab

Make sure to select the product


version listed in SAP note
1478974 as diagnostics relevant.

2013 SAP AG. All rights reserved. Public 36


Managed Systems Configuration
Assign Product Assign Logical Components

Assign Logical Components:


As of Solution Manager 7.1 SP 10 Logical
Components are related to Technical
Systems*: You need to create one Logical
Component for each Technical System

1. Choose Assign Logical Component

2. Select the correct client (ABAP only)

3. Select the system role

4. Select the correct Product Instance

5. Select an existing Logical Component or


create a new one

6. Click the Check button to verify your


entries

7. Click OK

8. Save your changes

* Up to SM 7.1 SP 08 Logical Components were related to the Product System. This way you could indirectly assign the ABAP and the Java stack of dual stack system to the same Logical
Component. This is not longer possible.

2013 SAP AG. All rights reserved. Public 37


Managed Systems Configuration
Logical Components in LMDB

With SAP Solution Manager 7.1 SP 10 the maintenance of Logical Components moved to LMDB
You can access Logical Components via transaction LMDB under the tab Logical Components

You can:
1. Assign or delete technical systems to/from
a Logical Component

2. Maintain the available system roles


(changes made here apply to all logical
components system wide)

3. Change the system role of a Technical


System

4. Delete a Logical Component

2013 SAP AG. All rights reserved. Public 38


Managed Systems Configuration
Check Prerequisites

The check prerequisites step verifies that the Managed System and Solution Manager fulfill the
diagnostics prerequisites from a landscape definition and software component point of view:
Run the prerequisites check. If there is an error, check the log information for details and correct the errors

2013 SAP AG. All rights reserved. Public 39


Managed Systems Configuration
Connect Managed System

This step only exists for ABAP systems, because only ABAP needs to be connected via RFC:
For each ABAP system create at least one READ RFC destination (typically connect to the active client)

To be able to create TRUSTED RFC destinations make sure the user in Solution Manager and the Managed System, has the authorization S_RFCACL. To
use the TRUSTED RFC destination the user needs S_RFCACL in the Managed System.

You also need to create a READ RFC destination for Solution Manager itself. The NONE RFC destination is currently not supported by
Diagnostics.

2013 SAP AG. All rights reserved. Public 40


Managed Systems Configuration
Connect Managed System Further functionality

Create ABAP administration user: Clean up existing RFCs:


For the creation of RFCs and further configuration a quite powerful If necessary clean up existing RFCs for the managed system
user is needed
Create this user here
Create the user as user type System to prevent dialog log on with this
user!

2013 SAP AG. All rights reserved. Public 41


Managed Systems Configuration
Assign Diagnostics Agent

To be able to connect a system for Root Cause Analysis and Technical Monitoring assign a
Diagnostics Agent to each instance of the system:
Select the instance from the list and click Assign
In the new window select the Diagnostics Agent from the list, that has the same host name as the managed instance

If the required agent is not in the list use the SLD Agent
Candidates, to connect the agent from SLD or the Agent Use Check Host Agents to check the connection status
Admin for agent trouble shooting. Preferred method: and the release of the SAP Hostagent
Connect the Diagnostics Agent via the smdsetupscript

It is recommended to install and connect all required agents before the managed system setup, see
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/SMSETUP/Managed_System_Checklist

logon data

2013 SAP AG. All rights reserved. Public 43


Managed Systems Configuration
Enter Landscape Parameter

In this step verify the Managed Systems default landscape parameters. Sometimes additional
input is required so that the step can be performed correctly:
Check every landscape parameter carefully
Use the Check existence of path when saving option, to make sure the entered paths are valid

The following statuses are possible:


No Parameter: No input required.
Default used: Verify the parameter
Input missing: Enter the parameter.
Agent offline: This is for your information
only. The agent on the system is only
needed to verify the entered values on
the system (e.g. the instance path). You
can continue even when the agent is
offline.

2013 SAP AG. All rights reserved. Public 44


Managed Systems Configuration
Create Users

To enable the Diagnostics Agent to gather data about the Managed System, connection users
for the ABAP and the Java stack are required:
Additionally, users can be created to be provided to SAP in case the support needs to log on to the system

Select the user that


should be created or
updated
Either create a new user
or update the
authorizations of an
existing user
If your user management
manually is performed
manually, check the
respective checkbox (4):
Provide the manually created user and a
password
Solution Manager will then not check the
users existence, its password nor if the user
has the correct authorizations

2013 SAP AG. All rights reserved. Public 45


Managed Systems Configuration

Installation & Upgrade
upgrader

The complete upgrade process is divided into eight roadmap steps.

2013 SAP AG. All rights reserved. Public 56


Installation & Upgrade
upgrader

The upgrade program upgrades an ABAP system using a system cloning and switch procedure.

This procedure installs a copy of the system, the shadow system, in parallel with the original system. The
shadow system is used to update the affected software components and to install the additional
components, while the original system is still in production operation.

Space
Operating two instances in parallel places increased demands on free space in the file system, in the
database, and on the system resources.

Duration
No precise guidelines can be given for the duration of an upgrade. The duration of the system cloning
depends to a great extent on the amount of data, the database system, and the hardware and can take
several hours. Although the system can still be used in production operation, you have to take into
account a possible performance decrease during this cloning process.

To upgrade to SAP Solution Manager 7.1 on the JAVA Stack, the SAP Enhancement Package Installer uses
a deployment-based procedure. No shadow system is required for the JAVA Stack. The procedure is highly
automated with minimum user interaction.

Check Prerequisites
Optional: User management with Central User Administration
(CUA)

During the basic configuration of SAP Solution Manager several users and roles are created, if you run a CUA
or another user management tool, you have two options to handle this user creation:

Option 1: Create and maintain users manually Option 2: Create users automatically via SOLMAN_SETUP
You can create all required users manually before or during in CUA
SOLMAN_SETUP To be able to create users automatically in the CUA via
The documentation in the user creation steps of SOLMAN_SETUP tell SOLMAN_SETUP you need to adjust the roles of the CUA_ADM user,
you which users are needed and which roles need to assigned to this used in the RFC (2) from the managed system to CUA
users The picture below describes the dataflow during user creation in CUA
After the creation of the user you can provide this existing user to See the SAP Solution Manager Security Guide for details:

System Preparation
Implement SAP Note

In this step you download and implement the Central Correction Note for Solution Manager:
The CCN comprises all corrections for the configuration
scenarios of the basic configuration
It is recommended to implement the complete central
correction note, but if you want to implement only certain
corrections, the note contains the information about all
single notes and their source application
You must implement the central correction SAP Note
manually, with the SAP Note Assistant (SNOTE)
Some post-processing steps in the notes could be
automated, these can be performed by executing the Post-
Processing
In a multi-tier Solution Manager landscape the note
download is performed in the development system and the
note corrections are transported to the other systems
Nevertheless the post processing steps have to be
performed in each system

Check for notes which require manual activities before the


implementation and for notes that require manual post-
You will be notified by SOLMAN_SETUP if a new version of the note a

When you have completed this step, the system landscape description is stored in SAP
Solution Manager. This includes the following sub-steps:
The SAP Solution Manager system is registered in the SLD
The technical system descriptions, CIM model, and the SAP Software Catalog (CR content) from the System Landscape
Directory (SLD) are synchronized with the Landscape Management Database (LMDB) in SAP Solution Manager
The synchronization connection between LMDB and the relevant SLDs is setup and activated
For upgraded SAP Solution Manager systems, system information created in SMSY, previously, can be migrated into LMDB
Diagnostics agents and SAP Hostagents are installed
Diagnostics agents are connected to SAP Solution Manager

This migration is restricted to systems that were created manually


in SMSY in earlier SAP Solution Manager releases and for which no
SLD data suppliers for an automatic data transfer are available.
Never use this for systems registered in an SLD connected to
Solution Manager, otherwise there is a risk of system duplicates in
LMDB, with one system that was migrated from SMSY and the other
one synchronized from the SLD.

System Preparation
Prepare Outside Discovery SAP Hostagents

For SAP Hostagents the following activities have to be performed:


On each physical or virtual host:
Install/Update SAP Hostagent: The installation procedure is described in the installation guide attached to SAP note 1031096
It is recommended to enable the automatic update feature of the SAP Hostagent, so that you can update the Hostagent centrally. This is described in SAP
Note 1473974.

Establish Trusted Connection: The information gathered by the SAP Hostagent (OS and DB information and information on hostnames on the
physical host) is provided to the Diagnostics Agent via a Web Service To call this Web Service the OS user of the diagnostics agent (default
daaadm) must be a trusted user to the SAP Hostagent

System Preparation
Prepare Outside Discovery Diagnostics Agents On-the-fly

With SP 05 the agents on-the-fly are recommended to be used mainly for HA scenarios, where a logical host moves from one physical host to
another. See the RCA wiki under http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/SMSETUP/Diagnostics+Agent+and+HA+support for details.

An agent on-the-fly is similar to a standard Diagnostics Agent regarding:


Runtime behavior
Configuration
Deployment layout
Each agent node still has its own configuration and its own dedicated logical host name

The agents on-the-fly capability has to be activated in the managed host setup (Managed Systems Configuration) for
the physical/virtual host
After the activation the diagnostics agent installed on this host can start up and shut down agents on-the-fly
Which agents are started depends on the current logical hostname situation on the physical/virtual host requires it,
e.g. if an SAP instance moves from one physical host to another (taking it logical host name with it)

Only one Diagnostics Agent needs to be installed on


a physical host with several logical managed hosts

Specify User and Connectivity Data

In the sub-steps of this step you make sure that SAP Solution Manager can be connected to
SAP and to other systems, this includes:
Maintaining the connection to SAP Service Market Place
Specifying which system will be used as BW to store data collected by SAP Solution Manager during monitoring
Create users necessary for internal and external connectivity of Solution Manager
Set up the RFCs and web services for Root Cause Analysis and other scenarios

2013 SAP AG. All rights reserved. Public 84


Basic Configuration
Specify Connectivity Data

In this sub-step you set up the connection between Solution Manager and SAP Service Market
place:
Enter the S-user(s) that were created during the preparation steps
During this step two RFC destinations are created:
SAP-OSS
SAP-OSS-LIST-O01
The S-user for SAP Backend will be maintained in the
global settings of Solution Manager and it will be used
in the RFC connections SAP-OSS and SAP-OSS-
LIST-O01
The S-User for Communication will be assigned to the
user SOLMAN_ADMIN and SOLMAN_BTC in
transaction AISUSER

For security reasons it is recommended to maintain two S-users for Solution Manager. The S-user for
SAP Backend should have no authorizations since it could be misused for direct logon.
The S-user for Communication is needed to perform tasks like synchronize service messages and system
data and to request licenses. This user needs more extensive authorizations.

2013 SAP AG. All rights reserved. Public 85


Basic Configuration
Set Up Credentials

In this step you provide the administrator users, used for further setup:
Recommendation: Use the default SOLMAN_ADMIN user as the SAP Solution Manager administrator. This ensures that the
administrator has the required authorizations.
If you set up the BW in a different client or system you have to create or update a BW administrator user
