1 INTRODUCTION

In MII there are several configuration options based on which user content can be built. There are chances of user content not functioning due to some changes in the configuration. In order to have a comparison of configurations at different timestamps MII can now be configured as a ‘Managed System’ in Solution Manager System upon ‘Change Analysis’ can be performed to compare configurations. The configurations of two different MII systems can also be compared using ‘Change Analysis’.

This document explains the configurations and activities that need to be performed in order to do a ‘Change Analysis’ on the MII Configurations. The following is the list of configurations upon which the Change Analysis can be performed:

System Properties

Scheduled Jobs

Data Server Permissions

2 CONFIGURATIONS

The configuration necessary in order to integrate MII with Solution Manager are as below:

2.1 Add Java System to SLD of Solution Manager System

The steps below explain how to add the Java system to the SLD where the Solution Manager system is running:

1. Login to the Netweaver Administration screen of MII system.

2. Choose Configuration Security Destinations


4

3. Create a new destination with the following details:

Destination Name = SLD_Client

Destination Type = HTTP

URL = <sld url of the solution manager system>

4. Create another destination with the following details:

Destination Name = SLD_DataSupplier

Destination Type = HTTP

URL = <sld url of the solution manager system>

Check for the same configuration in Configuration Infrastructure SLD Data Supplier Configuration and click on ‘Collect and send Data’.

2.2 Add Diagnostic Agent to SLD of Solution Manager System

The steps below explain how to add the Diagnostic agent to the Solution Manager SLD:

1. Go to SAP MMC of the MII system and stop the Diagnostic agent.

2. Open a command prompt and navigate to the script folder inside of the agent path: usr/sap/<SID_AGT>/SMDAXX/script

3. Run the smdsetup script as the follows:

Smdsetup managingconf hostname:"sapms://solman.full.qual.host.name" port:"81XX" user:"SMD_ADMIN" pwd:"XXXXXXXX"

Where xx is the instance number.

4. The command should finish successfully.

5. START the diagnostics agent from SAP MMC.

Note: Please refer Add Diagnostic Agent for more information.

2.3 Load Template XML into Solution Manager System

The steps below explain how to load the configuration template XML into the Solution Manager System: Note: The CCDB Template XML is found under ‘Tools and Archives’ in the MII Administration screen. The template XML need not be uploaded if Solution Manager System version is ‘SAP Solution Manager 7.1 SP06’ and above.

1. Login to SolMan system 2. Execute the transaction ‘solman_setup’

3. In the web page that is opened, select the menu item ‘Solution Manager Administration’ under the Administration section.

4. Select ‘Infrastructure’ in the new window. 5. In the screen, select the option ‘Root cause analysis’ under the ‘Framework’ options button. 6. In the tab strips that are visible in the lower section of the page, select either of the views and

select the system that was registered to the Solution manager system. 7. Now under the header ‘Change Reporting Template Management’ there is a field to upload

the XML. 8. Hit the ‘Browse’ button and choose the XML file to be uploaded from the file system and hit OK. 9. A success message appears if the XML is well formed and is valid.

2.4 Managed System Configuration

The steps below explain how to configure the managed system (Only important steps illustrated):

1. Login to Solution Manager System. 2. Execute the transaction ‘solman_setup’ 3. In the web page that is opened, select the menu item ‘Managed system configuration’. 4. Select the java system and click on ‘Configure System’.

Check if the Java System is added correctly.

Check if the XMII Software component is added and marked as diagnostic relevant

Check if other details are maintained correctly

5. In the new page that opens, there are totally 11 configuration steps of which the important are:

Step 1 (Select Product) - Select the system and click on select the system and click on ‘Display Technical Configuration’. In the new window that is opened we check whether the software components that we want to monitor are ‘Diagnostically relevant’.

Step 2 (Check Prerequisites) - Run the Prerequisites check. See if any major issues are reported. Correct them and rerun the checks.

Step 3 (Assign Diagnostics agent) – In the ‘Agent assignment’ tab select the system and move to ‘SLD Agent Candidates’ tab. Click on get agents, and after selecting the corresponding agent, click on ‘Connect’. In the Agent Assignment tab check if the agent is correctly assigned to the managed system and the status is showing as green.

roles shown here.

Step 7 (Configure Automatically) – Check if the ‘Extractor Setup’ status is green.

Finally go to Step 11 and click on ‘Finish’.

3 CCDB Content

The CCDB content is the actual configurations that are fetched by the Solution Manager system in the most recent extraction. It is also possible to view if the particular configuration has been added, modified or deleted.
