SAPMMC - can it be run standalone?

[former_member263733]

Since all of our Java systems have the SAPMMC snapin. In using this we noticed that we are able to add systems on other servers.

From there we thought that perhaps we could install the snapin on our desktops and add all of our systems. That way we could look at the systems without remoting to each server.

At this point we have not been able to find and adequate download for the sapmmc (copying it from the server won't work)

So in addition to downloading it, we are wondering (more generally) if this will work.

thanks!

Hello Jeff,

At this point we have not been able to find and adequate download for the sapmmc (copying it from the server won't work)

you can't find SAPMMC standalone from the marketplace. what you need for this is sapmmc.dll, sapstartsrv.exe &

librfc32u.dll. This you can definitely copy from the server.

You can follow this guide.

thank you for this response. we were able to get this set up.

I was also able to find this document which contains more detailed step by step directions.

Even with this doc there are a couple of "gotcha's" if anyone else tries this.

(1) When you copy the files to your desktop (assuming XP or Vista...etc) make sure the source server is running 32 bit Windows. If not, when you run the sapstartsrv.exe, you will return a message saying "this is not a valid Win32 application".

if you aren't certain, Windows itself (i.e. Help -> About...) doesn't give this information. This article give step by step on how to make sure.

In our case, most of our servers were 64 bit windows, but we did have one 32 bit system. If you only have 64 bit systems, you would probably have to download and extract the kernel to get the right files

(2) we also need to copy over (but not register) the file: libsapu16vc71.dll.

In our case we discovered this when we clicked on the systems in the MMC and it gave the explicit message that this file was missing.

Other than that, this works GREAT and is a real time saver
