Data source in EP7

24 Views

Hi all gurus!

We are trying to use Solution Manager as data source for logon in our EP7 but we can't get the settings right. We have used an existing installation as a "template" but it doesn't work and it might be because the other portal is of version 6.

They are able to keep the config file dataSourceConfiguration_databese_only.xml and still see and use the tab "SAP System". Here they enter the data for their Solution Manager system and test it. They then go to config tool and change the file to dataSourceConfiguration_r3.xml, restart the server and everything work.

To begin with, we can't se the tab "SAP System" at all but if we choose "ABAP System" in the drop down list "Data Source" (wich by the way doesn't contain a r3-alternative) a tab named "ABAP System" appears. Here we enter the data for Solution Manager but the test fails. So here is my first question:

Is the template ABAP ok to use with SolMan?

In the instructions from the other company, and which you saw above, it says that data source shall be database only and that you change to ...r3.xml in configtool. We tried that also, we chose "ABAP System", made the settings and then changed to ...r3.xml in configtool but the server won't start then. So, two more questions:

Are the test fool proof? Since we disregarded the fact that the test failed and went on to configtool...

Is the ...r3.xml a "valid" template to use in our version (was 7.0), since the server didn't start properly?

And the last question:

The user in SolMan that is used for the connection, of what type should he be? Service, Communication Data or something else or is without relevance? And what groups and roles should be added to him?

Can anybody give some advice with this information?

Best regards
