How does SMD see SMD agent configuration file?

Ok. So you install and configure SMD on solution manager server. Then you install SMD agent and run configuration assistant to generate xml files on java stack server. Am I supposed to move these configuration xml files somewhere on the server? Where? Any SAP suggested location? Is this what the solution manager diagnostic (publishing) wizard is looking for?

I find the installation/configuration documentation for SMD and SMD agent somewhat lacking! I can't even get the local SMD agent on the sulution manager server to register properly!

The SMD agent install SAYS it worked, but I don't think it did.

OSS tels me to use the scripts in

/usr/sap/SMD/Jxx/script: smdstart.sh and smdstop.sh

When I try /usr/sap/SMD/Jxx/scripts/smdstart.sh I get

smdstart.sh: line 7: /usr/sap/SMD/exe/sapstart: No such file or directory

When I look in /usr/sap/SMD/exe, all I find is SAPCAR.

I tried to uninstall agaent but that fails also. I renamed /usr/sap/SMD to /usr/sap/SMD.old and re-ran the agent install. This time the /usr/sap/SMD/exe is not almost empty.

After adding /usr/sap/SMD/exe to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH, /usr/sap/SMD/Jxx/smdstart.sh (and smdstop.sh) seem to work and I see the local agent in the http://myhost:myport/smd/admin Agent Administration tab.

Hi,

I made that mistake, too: I ran the installer without enough permission, and therefore not all files were unzipped. That's why the exe directory was almost empty. I reinstalled the agent with root, and then modified the file permissions, that user <sid>adm is able to run the agent.

Since then everything run fine.

Hi Ken,

you don't have to move that xml file. SMD will receive it when the Agent registers itself.

For the Agent registration, could you please look at the agent logfiles? What do they say?
