Hi Yogesh,
Your guide is very informative. Please can you tell if we can go for a Solman 7.2 new installation but without JAVA stack.
Kuldeep.
Hello Kuldeep,
There is no option to install SAP Solution Manager without JAVA. You must need JAVA stack.
As per SAP Solution Manager 7.2 architecture and migration to SAP HANA
What is AS JAVA still used for?
AS JAVA is still used by SolMan 7.2 for diagnostics agent connectivity and root cause analysis. In theory and probably also practice you could leave it out of the CHARM Solution Manager landscape if you've got two Solution Manager landscapes, one for Technical Monitoring and one for ITSM and CHARM which is not uncommon for large customers.
AS JAVA could also serve the purpose of local SLD for SAP Solution Manager although in general many administrators seem to prefer a central SLD nowadays with a higher Netweaver stack version and seperated maintenance cycles.
Sometimes AS JAVA of SAP Solution Manager is used for Adobe Document Services (ADS) to serve the ERP landscape. I've seen this mostly at smaller customers who do not create a seperate AS JAVA instance for that purpose.
Please let me know if you have any other question.
Thank you
Yogesh
Thanks Yogest.. Nice blog
While upgrading from 7.1 to 7.2 , First we will split the ABAP and Java stack and then upgrade to 7.2
I have an PI landscape , can install ABAP Solution manager on 7.2 and use central SLD from PI , I want to stop Java
Please let me know your suggestions
Thanks,
Rahul Yedapally
Hello Rahul,
You need to upgrade your system first and split after.
You can use solution manager SLD locally because in new solution manager you can connect PI SLD.
You can start upgrade as shown below...
Solution Manager 7.2 - Upgrade - I - Technical Checks and Preparations
Solution Manager 7.2 - Upgrade - II - Actual Upgrade Process
Solution Manager 7.2 - Upgrade - III - Dual Stack Split
Solution Manager 7.2 - Upgrade - IV - Correction After Dual Stack Split
Solution Manager 7.2 - Upgrade - V - SolMan Support Pack Stack 01 Correction
Regards,
Yogesh
Hello Yogesh,
if i understood correctly First you have suggest me to upgrade my solman 7.1 and then split.

For Central SLD I want to use PI landscape
As per Few standard Document they suggested to go with SPlit and then upgrade
Please correct me if i am wrong
Thanks,
Rahul
Hello Rahu,
What I suggest is as below ...
For more information please read SAP Note : 2227300 - Further Upgrade Information for SAP Solution Manager 7.2
(Look section 2.3 After the software upgrade (after the SUM Postprocessing step)and 2.4 Next step: Execute the dual-stack split)

Thanks for the detail information Yougest..

Hi Yogesh
Your documentation for Upgrade – I – Technical Checks and Preparations is missing.
It is showing tweetchat.
I have send alert to moderator. Migration to new SCN missplace my document. God knows how more many having this issue.
-Yogesh
Hi Yogesh
Question 1 do we need to remove ST-QCA component before Content Activation is completed ? or can that been done after Content Activation ?
Question 2 In Content Activation guide it says we have to reapply all the Snotes for content activation again after we completed the upgrade from 7.1 to 7.2. Where you required to apply the snotes again ?
Regards
Mohammed
A 1 - This can be done at the time of upgrade
A 2 - If you download them it will tell you its applicable or not.
Hi Yogesh
I want to remove the HPQC add on component from solution manager 7.1. I have spam and saint version 7.02/0059. I dont see the visibility in SAINT to remove this component. Please advice.
Thanks
Mohammed
I am not sure you can remove HPQC add-on or not.
-Yogesh
Hi Yogesh
In snote 1109650 page 4 it says
ST-QCA
This component is saved automatically when you upgrade to SAP Solution Manager 7.1 or 7.2. So I i am in still doing the prep work for the upgrade. So will the upgrade still fail ?
Thanks
Mohammed
Uninstall ST-SPA and ST-QCA if they are installed (SAP Note : 2227300 For reference)
I dont see the option in SAINT to remove the ST-QCA .
Did you check SAP notes below?
2011192 – Uninstalling ABAP add-ons
2364204 - Additional info about the component ST-TST and ST-OST for upgrade from Solution Manager 7.1 to 7.2 release
Most IMP note : 1109650 - SAP Solution Manager 7.x Extension Addons
In my case when I upgade system its ask me to remove add-in at the time of upgrade (For example below)

Hello Yogesh Patel,
We are planning to upgrade SolMan 7.1 to 7.2
I have a doubt, as we are keeping the DB (oracle) as it is. Is TREX installation mandatory for that.
Also, what would happen if we do not install TREX?
Hello,
I am not too sure about your system configuration.
But as far I know you can upgrade TREX.
Question you need to ask is - What will happen to Indexes created by TREX?
Thanks
Yogesh
Hello Yogesh,
We are using SolMan for -
1. EWA report generation
2. Mopz
3. Technical Monitoring
4. Integration Monitoring
5. Business Process Monitoring
6. DVM
7. Wily
We are on Oracle 11.2.0.4 and OS is HP-UX. Currently in our 7.1, we do not have TREX installed. So, I am a bit confused, if TREX is at all required. We would be keeping our DB as it is, not migrating to HANA as of now.
Please let me know, is TREX mandatory for 7.2?
TREX is not mandatory for 7.2

Hello Yogesh
need your quick help as part of preparation as of now am doing Content activation phase
implemented these two sap notes
2161244,2324520 now as per content activation guide now am able LOGIN PREPARE_ACTIVATION ,T CODE
1.clicked on button next “Enter guided procedure” immediately am getting DUMP as ” Function module “ENQUEUE_E_SMMIG_GP1″ not found”.
can you please me to proceed further when i checked in se37 this function module is not available cross verified in production system also still not available.
appreciated if you could respond us ASAP than you .
Hello Vrushal,
There is Supplementary note for SAP Note 2324520 is as below...
2045230 - Supplementary note for SAP Note 2324520
Please have a look in to it and let me know if this does not solve your issue.
Thank you
Yogesh
Hi Yogesh
Thanks for your reply
note 2324520 already implemented issue was in prepare_activation
but issue was resolved now -with implement note 2131736 run the report SCWB_NOTE_ACTIVATE against note 2324520, 2045230 and 2045342 to activate the inactive objects ->with this issue resolved
Thank you!
but i have one question for your ?once we do upgrade we need to java split onsame host that what i planned for this do we need to create separate File system for JAVA or not required export of JAVA will suffice and create Own FS.
thank you!.
Hello Vrushal,
Good that you ware able to resolve issue. Yea those inactive objects sometime annoying 🙁
For your answer - When you split system on same host you can use the same share folder \usr\sap\
Since your ABAP and JAVA SID name will be change it should not be any issue
For example JAVA SID is SMJ and ABAP is SMA
This will create 2 separate directory under \usr\sap\... and you will able to continue with split.
If you go through SPLIT document you will have more idea what I am talking about...
Please let me know if you have any other question.
Regards,
Yogesh
Hi Yogesh
Thanks for your quick reply!
got you thanks for your inputs
As of now now am in prepare_activation phase only for Content activation .
here i have one querry
in Content Activation we have there phases
1.preparation
2.upgrade
3.Activation
->here we will have to do it first prepare_activate and next proceed with upgrade or else we have to perform post activation steps of option 3 then we can go for upgrade ?
what is the best approach please suggest!
Sorry but I did not performed steps what you mentioned. What is SAP guide says?
-Yogesh
Hi Yogesh
thanks guide says above process 1.prepare 2.upgrade 3.activation
not mentioned clearly .any how thanks
Hi Yogesh,
Can you please tell me the version of SUM you used for upgrade?
We tried upgrade using SUM 19 but the dual link is not working.
Regards,
Basis team
Sorry what you mean by dual link?
Hi Yogesh,
Can you technically do a SolMan upgrade without having to connect Solution Manager system to managed systems- i.e. ECC. This is a mock upgrade for Solution Manager only. I realize the value of the managed systems connection.
Thanks,
Altin
Hi,
We are in the process of upgrading SOLMAN from 7.1 to 7.2
the SAP-JEECOR version is 7.02 SP15 patch 0
is this OK to proceed with the uprgade,
Also, as we have generated the XML file, will this patch be upgraded using SUM during the upgrade process
sap.com/SAP-JEECOR
Also, the current JVM version is
Many are suggesting that there is no need to uprgade SAP JVM from 1.4 to 1.6
when you start SUM, it will automatically uprgade
Is this correct

hello Yogesh,
we have perform an upgrade of our SolMan
old 7.2 SP3
new 7.2 SP6
the migration job : SM_MIGR:CL_MAI_MIGRATION_72SP03 dumps with runtime error Uncaught exeption.
An exception has occurred which is explained in more detail below. The
exception, which is assigned to class 'CX_LMDB_NO_HOST' was not caught and
therefore caused a runtime error. The reason for the exception is:
Cannot find a host in the LMDB
This exception is closely related to a previous exception
"CX_LMDB_NO_RESULT_FOUND", which
was raised in program "CL_LMDB_API_FOR_CIM===========CP", in line 19 of
(include) program "CL_LMDB_API_FOR_CIM===========CM003". The
reason for the exception occurring was:
For class SAP_ApplicationSystemHost, a call of Associator Names of WBEM
returned no results
This exception is closely related to a previous exception
"CX_LMDB_NO_RESULT_FOUND", which
was raised in program "CL_LMDB_API_FOR_CIM===========CP", in line 17 of
(include) program "CL_LMDB_API_FOR_CIM===========CM001". The
reason for the exception occurring was:
A WBEM call or query returned no results
This exception is closely related to a previous exception
"CX_SY_ITAB_LINE_NOT_FOUND", which
was raised in program "CL_LMDB_API_FOR_CIM===========CP", in line 7 of
(include) program "CL_LMDB_API_FOR_CIM===========CM001". The
reason for the exception occurring was:
A row with the index 1 is not in the table.
Do you have any idea?

Hello Yogesh,
We are upgrading SAP Solution 7.1 SP13 to 7.2 SP06. The minimum support level required or selected during stack generation i for GRC is GRCPINW V1100_731 SP20.
But in our GRC Foundation system the level is GRCFND_A V1100 0014. We would like to know the compatibility issue and solution for it.
Can we upgrade Solman excluding GRCPINW component upgrade.

Hello Mahesh,
Since I don't know your landscape it will be very difficult for me to answer on your question.

Hello Yogesh
I have 1 query, during Solman Upgrade from 7.1 to 7.2, what are the activities from Authorizations side, if you have any links or docs, please request to share with me.
Thanks
Hello Harish Prakash ,
Can you please add more detail to your question.
-Yogesh
Hi Yogesh,
Thanks for replying.
We are doing a upgrade from SM 7.1 to 7.2 and we have Doc Management, Approval & Business Monitoring and Charm.
As per any upgrade the below steps should be executed:
Take backup of USOBT_C & USOBX_C tables
Then Do steps 2A,2B,2c & 2D and adjust the roles accordingly.
So, I need to know the delta (Differences) in doing upgrade for Solman and ECC/BW etc and also if you can guide me the important steps from Authorization point of view, it would be great.
Thanks
Hello Harish Prakash ,
Did you looked in to master guide for security ?
-Yogesh
hi Yogesh
You have any Guide which will tell the differences between SM 7.1 and SM7.2 from authorization point
Yogesh..
This document is very helpful.......I have few basic questions. My current solman is :SAP SOLUTION MANAGER 7.1 with SP12 sql 2008r2/windows 2008 r2.
If we have to go to sol man 7.2 I believe we have to do db/os upgrade first to sql2016/windows2016 and than use SUM for 7.2 upgrade?
SUM wont takecare of db and or os upgrade right?
Thanks
HelloPrasad Kanugula,
Please check PAM for both product's common DB and OS support version and start from there
