Thank you! Three years past solman installation your post help me! 🙂
Hi Yogesh,
I have resolved the issue.
Thank You
Hi Yogesh,
can you tell, how i can change data supplier user credenteils to another, from what i set in installation.
Arent you able to just type it in the user you want to pass?
-Yogesh
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
This is the only way to register DAA in multiple SLD or change user.
Thanks
Yogesh
Hello, Yogesh.
You know what is the SWPM you use? I have SWPM SP19, but the option "Install Diagnostic Agent with Kernel 7.45" is missing!
Best regards and thank you so much
Hello Jairo,

Hello Yogesh,
I have installed solution Manager 7.2 SP06
when I am the step infrastructure preparation http connectivity
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.
Hi All,
I have all Agents installed in my systems, but in "Agent Administration" they appear with status OFF. My SolMan is 7.2 with NW 7.4.
Can anyone help?
Best regards.

Hello Jerry,
Did you connect them to SLD?
Once you connect them to SLD perform host system configuration wizard
Thanks
Yogesh
Hi Yogesh,
Yes, I already connected to SLD. Sorry, but how to perform host system configuration wizard? In SolMan > Mandatory Configuration?
Thanks

The Diag agent entry disapear and I have this error :
The diagnostic agent can no longer be updated automatically and will stop working. Install it again
Can you help me ?
Best Regards !
Can you share some logs?
Yes of course.
What logs do you want?

Where can I find this log ? Have you a path where is it ? On the work directory of the instance DAA ?
GO to JAVA stack https://host:port/smd/AgentAdmin, select your diagnostic agent and then you find logs in Tab Agent Log Viewer. You can Download logs from there as well.
I think i have a issue beacause they haven't root certificat :
Who can I generate this certificats ? I already read the SAP note but that say how to renew the certicat but not how to generate it
Thank you !
I have resolved my Issue.

Hi Yogesh,
My solution manager is 7.2 sp5 When I click trust agents I get an error which says “Authentication mode set to certificate but certificate has not been generated.”
Please how do I resolve this issue?
Also its saying my root certificate is not configured.
Have a look at this document : https://blogs.sap.com/2017/02/22/part-11-sap-solution-manager-7.2-sr1-sps03-basic-system-setupinfrastructure-preparation/
You can generate certificate in step 2.3 Diagnostics Agents Connections of Infrastructure Preparation.
Hi Yogesh,
I finish the configuration of my Solman thank you for your guide step by step.
Now I install the DAA on my managed system but I have an issue when I want to put the collect data of SLD.

Nice to see that your issue resolved.

Hi Yogesh Patel
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?
Thank you.
Creating one new folder copy all files in it, give folder path and re-try.
-Yogesh
Hi Yogesh Patel
Good day!
Sadly, file is still missing . =(
What error message you received?
-Yogesh
Hi,
If I locate the folder where this SAR file located it throws me a status of "STILL MISSING" and if I locate the specific file I get this warning.
Archive file 'G:\solman\DAA\SAR\SAPDIAGNOSTICSAGENT.SAR' did not match. See info file.
Download new version of SAPDIAGNOSTICSAGENT.SAR and copy in to folder.
-Yogesh
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)

Thank you

Hi Jose/Yogesh,
Please suggest if you know any solution to the Diagnostic Agent install..I tried 745 & 749 Kernel. But unable to understand / interpret the Info link
Notes – 1365123 / 2465430 / 1858920 are quiet misleading.

Hello Yogesh,
Thank you very much for your blog. In "Provide SLD connection information" section, you use the sld user "SLD_DS_<SID>". I don't find this user? Do we have to create it first? If yes, what are the role type to define for this user ?
Thank you for your help.

HI Yogesh,
Thank you so much for you response,
I dont have any AS JAVA manager system, I only have AS JAVA stack of solution manager both are on same host, do i still need to install and configure DAA on the host. please let me know same for Wily introscope? do i need to install and configure it? becauase i have only AS JAVA stack of Solution manager.
I have only AS ABAP ECC on HANA. so it mean i have to install the DAA on the host where ECC on hana is installed?
Secondly, I am configuring Solution Manager for VAR support, do i need to configure Wily Introscope?
Regards.
Faheem,.
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.
