EWA for Business Objects (XI 3.1) within SAP Solution Manager

[Former Member]

Hello!

We use Business Objects (XI 3.1) and would like to get weekly a EWA report within our SAP Solution Manager.

Our SAP Solution Manger has only ABAP stack and it has the SPS version 25.

We also do not use Wily Introscope/Diagnostics and E2E tools within SAP Solution Manager.

Question

Is it possible to set up EWA for Business Objects with our requirements (SOLMAN with ABAP stack and without E2E/Diagnostics tools)?

Hello,

I would recommend you check the following notes. They might be helpful with your inquiry.

Please review SAP Notes:

"For SAP Business Objects Enterprise XI the EarlyWatch Alert is available

with or without Solution Manager. For the later the SAP Remote Support

Component can be used to create an EWA report. Please refer to

Hello,

The short answer is no. You can verify this in SAP Note 1507629 - Preparing a BOE system for Service Sessions in Sol. Manager.

"...1.) Managed System Setup

Perform the Managed System Setup for SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise as

described in the "End-to-End Root Cause Analysis System Landscape Setup

Guide". This guide can be found in the SAP Service Market Place:

-> http://service.sap.com/diagnostics

-> Navigate to the "Media Library"

-> Open the document "SAP Solution Manager Landscape Setup Guide"

Please ensure that you perform all steps mentioned in the guide which

are relevant for your product and version. Please read also SAP note

1357901, which is also referred to in the above mentioned setup guide."

So this is a requirement. There are also pdf documetns attached to this note that describe how to setup the EWA in Solution Manager. EGI_SBOP_EWA_part1.pdf and EGI_SBOP_EWA_part2.pdf.

The fact you have no Java stack and have not installed Diagnostics, just means it has not been done. It can be done and then you can do a managed system setup, and the balance of tasks required to prepare the system and Solution manager to generate EWA reports for the BOE system. Its just more work, not a show stopper.
