5 Introduction In SAP Solution manager 7.0, 4.6 systems were supported in terms of monitoring using central CCMS. SAP Solution Manger 7.1 introduced a new framework of Monitoring and Alerting but 4.6 systems were too old and could not be supported. These systems are still heavily used by customers and hence also require monitoring and alerting capabilities. With SAP Solution Manager SP 7, these systems are now supported but the setup requires specific manual setup steps that are described in this document SAP AG. All rights reserved. 5

6 1 System Preparation 1.1 Check the Software versions. Solution Manager must be of version 7.10 SP7 or higher. In order to collect the metrics, the managed system must have the ST-PI component of version SP7 or higher. 1.2 Instance Status support In order to get the instance status, you need to implement note > Appendix A1. This step is optional but allows you to be notified about your instance status. 1.3 Diagnostics and SAP HostAgent : The diagnostics agent with the SAP host agent are required to collect specific os data metrics and enables Outside Discovery that eases the host creation in LMDB. You have to make sure that the SAPHost Agent is of version 90 or higher and that it is rightly configured. You'll find all the details in the SAP Solution Manager Configuration workcenter: follow System Preparation step "Prepare Landscape Description Prepare Outside Discovery. Make sure you also have agents installed on the Database server to get the host in LMDB. 1.4 Create the required user on the Managed system. To get metrics from the managed system, solution manager will use a remote function call on the managed system. To make this possible, you need to create a specific user with some minimum rights. To do so : Create user SM_<SOLMAN_SID> on the managed system. Assign authorization o Object S_RFC o RFC_TYPE FUGR o /SDF/E2E_EFWKE_COLLECTORS SAP AG. All rights reserved.

7 1.5 Create the Read RFC From the solution manager stack, start transaction SM59 then create an ABAP connection named SM_<managed_SID>CLNT<ABAP_CLIENT>_READ (i.e. SM_PRDCLNT200_READ for system PRD on client 200). Enter the logon details with user created step SAP AG. All rights reserved. 7

8 2 Manual system creation in LMDB 2.1 Check Outside Discovery status. Start the Landscape Browser application from the SAP Solution Manager Administration workcenter (related links) then click on the Host view. Search for your hosts on which your system is installed on. Make sure it already exists then click on the host status light on the right. In case you cannot see your host or if the host status is different from green check SAP note ( SolutionManager7.1 - Outside Discovery common errors). 2.2 Create the technical system: The Technical System Editor 4.6 system are too old to benefit from the SLD data providers so a manual creation is required here. You may find instructions on how to create to use the Technical System Editor from SAP note LMDB concept & troubleshooting in the LMDB setup guide. If your system is already existing in LMDB you can skip step Create the system From SAP Solution manager Administration workcenter as a solman_admin user, navigate to view Landscape Technical Systems then click on System Operations Create Technical system. Enter the system type ABAP then click on Next Enter the system Id, installation number and database host Name then click on Next Next screen should display the Extended System. It must be the same as the SID then click on Next Save Assign the software In the technical System Editor, select your system then display the software section. Make sure you have at least the SAP R/3 4.6C: R/3 Server installed and marked as diagnostics relevant.
