Hello Friends,
Recently, I have installed & configured latest Solution Manager 7.1 (SP 8) in windows environment. I
found that various amendments have appeared in new Solution Manager 7.1 as compared to classic
7.0 EHP 1 version. Majorly, the scenario of configuring SLD, MOPZ & EWA is changed by incurring LMDB
concept in between. I am herewith describing the steps to be performed for establishing above
things :Let's take scenario of registering an ABAP system (ECC) in Solution Manager central SLD. Generally
local SLD & central SLD needs to be different, for example apart from Solution Manager local SLD,
central SLD should be placed in EP (Enterprise Portal Server) , but fortunately in our case, both the
SLDs are mutually placed in Solution Manager itself. OK... So, before proceeding to configure the
above scenario, please make sure you have fulfilled following requirements :1. Apply the central note in Solution Manager. Most of the time some of the notes embedded in central
note leads to various dump in standard T-Codes, so please make sue whether all are applicable to your
scenario or not. Otherwise after implementing all , you can uninstall the inconsistent ones from SNOTE
itself.
2. In solman_setup, perform SYSTEM PREPARATION & BASIC CONFIGURATION .
3. Cross check whether OSS1 connection is working or not and also check the SAP ROUTER connection
is open for it or not. In general it gets connected during no. 2 configuration.
4. Install latest ST-PI & ST-A/PI software component patches in satellite as well as in Solution Manager
systems. (It's required for EWA configuration).
Yup... Now we can proceed for our main configurations ...................................
SLD CONFIGURATION:1. Execute RZ70 in ECC (as we have taken ECC as satellite system) and provide credential of Solution
manager (Hostname and gateway ) and trigger "Start Data Collection and Job Scheduling". It will send
the data to Solution Manager SLD.
If you don't get any error in in RZ70 and it shows that it got successfully sent , then congratzzzz you
did it

, but if unluckily you get error like 'RFC OPEN ERROR' then follow below additional steps :-

A. Delete the SLD_UC & SLD_NUC RFCs from Solution Manager system.
B. Surf http://<solman host name>: <port>/sld and click on ADMINISTRATION > PROFILE . Select the
SECTION as ALL and give the details of ECC server host name & gateway details in two respective
fields.

C. Now save the changes and restart the SLD.

D. Now again go to ECC server and run RZ70 by giving details of ECC server itself

instead of Solution manager. It will still trigger the SLD details to Solution manager (Though
it sound strange, but it works
... Salute to Tom Cenens for his helpful blog ) .
2. Now you can see the technical system details in solman SLD. Now check whether
"SAP_LMDB_LDB_0000000001" job (program name: AI_LMDB_R_SYNC_RUNNER) is continuously
running successfully or not, because it plays vital role to drag data from SLD to LMDB.
3. Now go to SMSY_SETUP T-Code and click on "Schedule Data Transfer From TMS/SLD" or PRESS F8
and monitor the Landscape_Fetch job. After successfully completion of this job, you can see the ECC
system SID in SMSY.
4. Now manually create Logical component for the ECC under SAP ERP Logical component in SMSY . It
will show the ECC SID under developement/quality/live System.
5. Now create a SOLUTION and assign the created logical component in it. To create SOLUTION, follow
below steps :A. Execute SOLMAN_WORKCENTER > Solution manager Administration tab > Solutions > Click on
NEW . Give any name like ZECC and choose language as ENGLISH and save.
B. Now again go to SMSY and select the created solution under SOLUTION LANDSCAPESOPERATION and assign the logical component to it. After assigning right click on the SID shown under
Product System and select "Put in solution". Then the tab color will turn to GREEN. Please note that

production systems becomes GREEN automatically , but for DE, QA, SND, we need to follow this
process.

C. Now save the changes in SMSY.

MOPZ CONFIGURATION :1. Execute LVSM_LOAD transaction in Solman.
2. Then execute LVSM and check if any error exists in for the concern SID (In our case it's ECC). If any
error is appearing like wrong product assignment or something, then check the guidelines shown over
there and perform accordingly.
3. Execute SOLMAN_WORKCENTER > Change Management > New Maintenance Transaction .
4. Choose the solution name in which you have registered the ABAP system and select the SID.
NB: @ For all these operations, you can use SOLMAN_ADMIN ID or assign your ID in AISUSER T-Code
with valid S user ID .
@ Maintain following parameters in instance profile:login/accept_sso2_ticket
login/create_sso2_ticket

5. And then press NEXT ... NEXT ... NEXT by choosing your suitable options and generate the XML file
and download the required files through download basket.
EWA GENERATION :1. Log into 000 client of ECC (satellite) system with DDIC user and schedule below two jobs on hourly
basis :Job Name
SAP_COLLECTOR_FOR_PERFMONITOR
SAP_COLLECTOR_FOR_JOBSTATISTIC
These jobs are required to collect data for server health.

Program Name
RSCOLL00
RSBPCOLL

2. Also check whether SAPOSCOL is running in satellite system or not, if not start following two
services :A. SAPHostControl
B. SAPHostExec
3. Now check RTCCTOOL report by executing through SE38 whether all are appearing in GREEN or not,
if not , take the steps accordingly based on availed instructions.

4. Now execute SDCCN > Utilities > Activate.

5. Now GO TO > SETTINGS > TASK-SPECIFIC > Check the RFC destinations tab whether both the RFCs
(SOLMAN BACK & SDCC_OSS ) are working or not.
NB: These back RFCs can be generated from Managed System Configuration tab under
SOLMAN_SETUP.
6. Now go to solution manager and execute SMSY > Environment > Solution Manager Operations >
Administration SDCCN . Add the satellite system and choose solution manager as master system and
save it.
7. Now in satellite system under SDCCN > CREATE > Refresh Service Destinations. After creation of
task, select the task and choose EDIT> START NOW.
8. After completion of this task again click on CREATE > Request Session Data > Choose PERIODIC
(EarlyWatch Alert) and check the scheduling criteria. By default it gets scheduled on every Monday on
weekly basis.
9. Now got to SOLMAN_WORKCENTER > Sytem Monitoring > Reports > Click on solution of respective
satellite system > You can see the EWA reports here (both standard and short formats).
Please make sure the user through which you are logged into, should have SAP_SMWORK_SYS_MON
role and business partner should be generated for the same.

Nilutpal.
