Purpose
This configuration guide has been compiled to know how connect the Satellite
system to SAP Solution Manager.

Solution Manager – Scenario Description


You have installed and configured the SAP Solution Manager but not yet plugged
the Satellites Systems..
To plug the Satellite, you need to complete a number of steps. You begin by
activating the SLD in SAP Solution Manager. Next, you configure and connect the
satellite. In the third and final step, you activate the SMD functions to use EWA –
Non Abap Functionality.

Satellite
Check the DNS Name resolution between the Satellite system and solution
manager. Try to ping to the hostname and to the FQDN.
Check the required service package are in the satellite systems (Menu: System
Status):

Service package and Support Package


Check if the required service packages are in the satellite systems (menu: System
-> Status):

• get data for Solution


Monitoring in the satellite
systems using the RFC back
connection from the satellite
system to the Solution
ST-PI Version 2005_1_<release>
Manager.
and higher:
• put PFCG roles from the
satellite systems into project
structures (from Add-On ST-PI
Version
2005_1_<release>SP03)
SAP note 539977 contains the
release strategy for ST-PI

• ST-A/PI is required in the


satellite to be able to deliver
support services.
ST-A/PI:
• See SAP note 560630 if your
satellite systems do not satisfy
the requirements
The ST-A/PI is in SAP note 69455.

ST-SER 700_2005_2 • relevant for service delivery


with SAP_BASIS from WebAS 7.00
SP05

SLD Configuration
There is 2 way to plug the Satellite to the SLD.
If you are using SLD in Local (XI, Jco Destination, Portal, Etc) You need to
Replicate/Synchronize the SLD Information between the SLD of the Satellite system
to the SLD of Solution Manager.
If you don’t use the SLD in Local, you can plug the Satellite direct to the SLD of
Solution Manager.

3633756.doc Page 8 of 41
Sap Solution Manager – Working with the Landscape

IN THIS PAPER WE USE DIRECT CONNECTION BETTWENT THE SATELLITE


TO THE SOLMAN SLD.

Satellite Task (Abap):


RZ70
Put the host and Service of Solution Manager ( If is not possible change because
you use the SLD in Local speak with the System Administrator for SLD Data
Replication).

Satellite Task (Java):


VisualAdmin  Server0ServicesSLD Data SupplierRuntime
HTTP Setting Tab: Put the right information and then click in the Transfer Button.

CIM Client Generation Settings Tab: Put the right information and then click in
CIMClient Test to check the configuration

Satellite Task (Other):


You can use SLD to upload external sap products too, You can use to publish TREX
servers, MDM, Mobile or any kind of systems..
You need to Install 2 commands, “sldreg”: Used to create the Registration file to
connect to the SLD and the SapOsCol used to read all the technical information,
you can found this files in the Kernel SP.
cd /<Kernel Directory> or SYS directory.
sldreg -configure slddest.cfg –usekeyfile.
Complete:
Username/Password
SLD Host/Port/HTTPS

3633756.doc Page 9 of 41
Sap Solution Manager – Working with the Landscape

This procedure generate the slddest.cfg file with the connection information.

Check the SapOsCol


run saposcol –b.
You can check the Hardware Information in XML format.

Then you run the saposcol –b | sldreg -connectfile slddest.cfg -stdin


-oldtransferdtd.
The system show
HTTP response: Success.
HTTP status code: 200
End SLD Registration

3633756.doc Page 10 of 41
Sap Solution Manager – Working with the Landscape

Data send status: true

Check the Systems in SLD


In the http://hostname:50000/SLD of solution Manager Check in Technical system if
you see the information of the recent adds system (Check if the Last Update is
correct).

3633756.doc Page 11 of 41
Sap Solution Manager – Working with the Landscape

Solution Manager:
We are using LongSID, This mean that we identify the satellite system with the
normal SID and adding a Suffix.
We need to create the System Manually and then synchronize with the SLD. If you
use Normal SID you don’t need to create the system manually.

Create the System


Create DB
In the Txcode: SMSY
Is important put the first 3 letter from the DB and the hostname, with this field
Solution Manager map the LongSID with the SID.

Create The Sap System


Is important put the first 3 letter from the sap system and the Installation Number,
with this field Solution Manager map the LongSID with the SID.

Create the Java System


Is important put the first 3 letter from the sap system, the hostname and the
Installation Number, with this field Solution Manager map the LongSID with the
SID.

Match the Smsy-SLD


In this step the Solution Manager read the SLD Information and match the
Information with the Satellite system defined in the SMSY.
Run SMSY_SETUP in “Test mode”  Immediate

Wait until the process “LANDSCAPE FETCH” ends in SM37

Check in SMSY if the System was assigned in the right way. You can check if the

3633756.doc Page 12 of 41
Sap Solution Manager – Working with the Landscape

Data Source is SLD, this mind that the Solution manager maps the LongSID with
the SID.

Assign the Right Components


In this sample we are connecting a BI, This product is SAP Netweaver 2004S
Business Intelligence

MAP Component Abap/Java


In this sample we create the System DI3_042,(Java Stack of NW2004s BI)

We select the BI Java like relevant component and the system component DI3_042
(Java Component)

Assign the Installation Number


Check if the installation number is correct in all the Sap System. This is important
because if you don’t have the Installation Number the system cannot send the
Information to SMD.

3633756.doc Page 13 of 41
Sap Solution Manager – Working with the Landscape

RFC Connection
The RFC Allow to the Satellite to make and read the Satellite Information from the
Solution Manager.
