Hello Experts,
I want to know what is SMD Agent and how it can be used to upload the data to solution manager diagnostic. in SMD --> Agent Administration I tried to locate a way through which I can upload the data to SMD but I could not figure out a way. If anyone has worked on this, please help me with this.
Thanks in advance,
Ameya

Dear Ameya
A SMD agent is a agent which is installed on the Managed system to provide data to Solution Manager Diagnostcs.
It is as similar to an CCM agent, but with added features that help diagnostics to gather data.
The best way to find more information on SMD agents would be to visit the URL : http://service.sap.com/diagnostics
There you would find the installation guides as well as a lot of useful information on how to use diagnostics.
Hope that the above explaination helps.
Regards
Amit

Hello Ameya
No you cannot use SMD agent to upload Flat files to Diagnotics. The Agents are used to collect Live data and collate it in the BI section of Solution Manager for Diagnostics use. They are not designed to upload files to Diagnostics.

Hi Ameya
Can you please point me to the place where the blog says that you can use a SMD Agent to do it ? The Blog talks about Solution Manager Diagnostics / E22 Workcenter / Portal but I did not find a reference to a SMD agent to upload the data. Maybe I am looking at the wrong place.
Regards
Amit
Amit,
If you look into subpoint "Activity Data Collector (ADC)"
It is written that:
The ADC monitors portal requests and maintains details for each request, such as users logged on, processing time, and requested iViews and pages. The ADC trace files can be aggregated and loaded into the Solution Manager Workload Analysis by using the SMD agent. Once loaded into Solution Manager, BI queries and web templates are used to display the analysed data.

Dear Ameya,
That blog is not talking about loading files into SMD Agent.
They are talking about loading files into Solution Manager Diagnostics.
Agents run on the managed systems. SMD runs on Solution Manager.
The RCA ( Root Cause Analysis) > E2E Analysis >Workload Analysis and
RCA > Extractor FWK Administration links are on Solution Manager.
I hope this information helps you put the information in the right context.

Paul

Hi Ameya
I would propose go ahead and watch the demo's on http://service.sap.com/diagnostics
Further you have good knowledge kits on http://service.sap.com/rkt-solman
This will give you a good orientation of what can be acheived and how in Diagnostics. Then you should be able to navigate easily among all functions.
Regards
Amit
Ameya,
You Start Solution Manager WorkCenter - Solman_workcenter
You navigate to the RCA tab ( Root Cause Analysis)
You then select E2E Analysis
From here you select Trace Analysis
If you click the box to the right hand side to expand Manual Upload, there are two options presented to upload the .xml file
1) Upload Business Transaction.xml
2) Upload E2ETrace.xml
You can browse for the file you want to upload, then once you have located it, click Upload.
This will load the Trace Analysis file, and the analysis can then be performed.
I hope this was the answer you were looking for?
Regards,
Paul
