Hi,

I believe that that there is no specific guide for earlywatch alert configurations.

What you have to do is that. Go to spro,

Do the basic configuration settigs -- in that you can find the early watch alert basic settings like by schedulling the backround jobs.

then you need to bring the system which u need to do the EWA in smsy then create a logical componenet for the same and you have to create a solution.

Then you using the solution you have to configure the early watch service .

As a Prerequisite you need to follow all the SPRO basic activites then only it will smooth up your operations (Router configuration . OSS conenction , SDCCN activation , scheduling background jobs, SICF service activation, SMST setup , maintain customer number so and so)

I sugeest you to follow SPRO - --> step by step .

Hope this helps you.

Regards

Vijay

Step 4 Step 5

If there are remarks, please read them and act accordingly. In this case update the Addon ST-A/PI Make sure the program RTCCTOOL returns no more errors.

Users Create the following users in the proper client in the satellite system and assign the appropriate roles to them.

Step 1

Create service user <userID> for read access. Assign the following roles to the user Composite role ZXXXXRFCSLMRD Composite role Z=USER_PRD

Step 2

Create service user RFCSLMCH for change access. Assign the following roles to the user Composite role ZXXXXRFCSLMCH Composite role Z=USER_PRD

Solution Manager 4.0 - How to Generate EWAu2019s from Satellite Systems

SLD Make sure the SLD is configured and up-and-running.

Register system with Solution Manager To register the satellite system with the Solution Manager and start the data capture execute TA rz70 in the satellite system.

Step 1

Execute TA rz70

Step 2

Fill in the SLD Bridge: Gateway information. Here you enter the Solution Manager hostname and its gateway port. Host: <YOUR SLD HOST> Service: sapgw<xx>

Step 3 Step 4

Press the activation button. Press the start data collection and job scheduling button

Solution Manager 4.0 - How to Generate EWAu2019s from Satellite Systems

Press Yes. Step 5 Check if the system registered successfully in the Solution Manager via the SLD.

Change job SAP_SLD_DATA_COLLECT In the previous steps a job (SAP_SLD_DATA_COLLECT) has been created that runs every 720 minutes, this job collects changes in the satellite system and reports them to the solution manager. Many company standards require this job to run with a background user.

Step 1

Locate the job via TA sm37.

Step 2

Change the job step and replace the user to a batch-user.

Solution Manager 4.0 - How to Generate EWAu2019s from Satellite Systems

Press the Save button.

Solution Manager Configuration

Initial setup satellite system

Prerequisites When adding satellite systems via SLD, the ABAP stack needs to read what has registered in the SLD to transfer it to TA smsy. Schedule this job to a period that suits your needs.

Step 1 Step 2

Goto TA smsy Goto menu goto Setup System Landscape Maintenance

In the example the job is scheduled every hour. Adjust the job u201CLANDSCAPE FETCHu201D in TA sm37 to run with an appropriate background user.

Solution Manager 4.0 - How to Generate EWAu2019s from Satellite Systems

Before EWA reports, service desk, customizing, etcu2026 can be configured in the solution manager it needs some RFC-connections to the satellite system. These need to be created in TA smsy.

Step 1 Step 2

Goto TA smsy. Browse to the satellite system you want to configure.

In this case the SLM is used as solution manager and the DSM is used as satellite system Step 3 Step 4 Press the display <-> change button Highlight the line with the client in which the RFC-connections will be created.

Step 5 Step 6

Press the generate RFC button. Select the options as shown below and assign the correct users and passwords.

Solution Manager 4.0 - How to Generate EWAu2019s from Satellite Systems

Press the generate button. Since there is no trusted RFC-connection at this point, a login screen will be presented. Login with a user who has sufficient rights. 2 login screens will be presented: (tip: create the same new user in the satellite and the Solution Manager) u2022 u2022 The first one for the satellite system, make sure you logon with a user that has SAP_ALL / SAP_NEW and the role SXXXXTRFCA (contains trusted RFC) The second one for the solution manager, make sure you use the same user as in the satellite system with SAP_ALL / SAP_NEW and the role SXXXXTRFCA (contains trusted RFC)

Step 7

The log should be complete green or stated as below.

Solution Manager 4.0 - How to Generate EWAu2019s from Satellite Systems

Due to an error somehow I canu2019t get the BACK connection to register in the SDCCN successful. At a later stage in this document this is corrected manually.

FYI: If the user creation from the satellite system to the solution manager is set to generate automatic, then this error doesnu2019t happen.

Step 8

In the satellite system goto TA sm59 and locate the RFC connection SM_<SID>CLNT<CLNT>_BACK.

Solution Manager 4.0 - How to Generate EWAu2019s from Satellite Systems

Step 9

Change the connection and fill in the correct password for the user rfcsolman. Test the connection and check whether remote logon works. (you can also use trusted RFC) Back in the solution manager in TA smsy now press the read system data button for the satellite system RFCu2019s that have just been created.

Step 10

Step 11

The output must be error free.

Solution Manager 4.0 - How to Generate EWAu2019s from Satellite Systems

System Groups and Logical Components Add the satellite system to a logical component.

Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4

Go TA smsy. Select System Groups and Logical Components. Browse to the logical component where the satellite system belongs to Add the satellite system.

Solution Manager 4.0 - How to Generate EWAu2019s from Satellite Systems

Create Solution In order for EWAs etc to run properly all systems need to belong to a u201Csolutionu201D. Initially this solution needs to be created. Needless to say, more solutions can exist, but a satellite system can only be part of u201Coneu201D solution.

Step 1 Step 2

Goto TA solution_manager. Press New

Step 3

Enter a name for the solution.

Solution Manager 4.0 - How to Generate EWAu2019s from Satellite Systems

Now a solution is created.

Add logical components to the solution This step is actually putting the systems into the solution.

Step 1 Step 2 Step 3

Goto TA solution_manager. Click on the solution. Select Operations Setup

Solution Manager 4.0 - How to Generate EWAu2019s from Satellite Systems

Step 4

Select Solution Landscape Maintenance.

Step 5

Select the logical component drop down.

Select the satellite system. Step 6 Per default, the leading role of a solution is defined as production role as all your business processes will run on production systems. They are highlighted by a green colour in the field. You may as well want to have systems with other system roles in your solution (for instance for system monitoring). In this case you need to actually put the system in the solution.

Solution Manager 4.0 - How to Generate EWAu2019s from Satellite Systems

This can be done via right-clicking on the field and select u201Cput in solutionu201D Press Save.
