      Yogesh, i mean if I typed it within the installation, but I want to change it after... I Find https://blogs.sap.com/2015/02/24/sap-diagnotics-agent-registration/, and use smdsetup sldconf hostname:”mySLDhost.domain.corp port:Port> user:”SLDDSUSER pwd:”xxxxxx, but thanks anyway, I'll think there will be more questions later))!

      Hello,

      Running that command you can register your DAA in to any SLD you want

       

      smdsetup sldconf hostname:”mySLDhost.domain.corp” port:”<SLD HTTP Port>” user:”SLDDSUSER” pwd:”xxxxxx”

      This is the only way to register DAA in multiple SLD or change user.

      Thanks

      ICM for External Access for Java I am not able to select the https.

      eventhough I have configured scs parameter for msport it is still not allowing.

      I have configured via parameter port for java scs 444$$ but it is not activating I have checked using telnet as well .

      In my case I tried registering the agent using smdagent.sh  for the 444$$ port it is getting successful . but it is still activating the following service at the os level.

      in my case I am using self-signed certificate .

       

      2: second question : for sending to the CA authority do I need to send the system export pse file or server standard pse.for ABAP

      3: For JAVA do I need to import any certificate in ABAP system for Solution Manager is it required or not.

      3: pertaining to Root certificate do I need to import in ABAP and JAVA as well to make ssl works .

      can you please put some light on this issue.

      I am using your blogs as guide to install SOLMAN 7.2 in Windows Server OS/Oracle12c/SWPMSP21/KERNEL745

      During installation of DiagnosticAgent, I have encountered the step where I will locate the file path of the following below

      I have entered the path to kernel-DBINDEP and got status of still missing

       

      Do you have any idea regarding my concern?

      Note  1858920 - Diagnostics Agent installation with SWPM is misleading. If you check the scan log:

      You will be able to find out what the scan is complaining about:

      For example, you are trying to use Kernel 7.45 (last release offered as "KERNEL FOR INSTALLATION/SWPM") but you can see that only kernels 721, 722 and 749 are allowed.

       

      You have to provide last patches for SAP Kernel (DB independent part), SAP JVM 6.1 and SAP Diagnostics agent. (they have filenames like: SAPEXE_401-70001625.SAR, SAPJVM6_106-10006989.SAR, SMDA710_SP11_5-80002931.SAR)

      Hi  Faheem Shaikh,

      Yes, You need DAA on SAP solution manager. Wily can be installed on SolMan host. You need Wily for JAVA system EWA and monitoring. You need to specify willy as part of solman configuration. Yes you need DAA on your ECC server and connect to solman.
