Can SMD be setup to monitor the Managing System?

Hello, We have been working off and on for the last few months

installing Wily Introscope, which in turn required E2E RCA, which in

turn required SMD to be installed. Since virtually all of our systems

are on a relatively low pl of the kernel, 114, we also installed the

latest SP and kernel to our Solution Manager system. So, the SM system

is at 7.00 pl 146, and SPS 16 (it's a dual-stack UNICODE system).

However, every other of our almost 27 ABAP stacks are at pl 114,

unfortunately.

We had read, via SAPNet note 1126859, that the MANAGED system must be

at least at kernel 7.00 pl 121. As I saidl, only our MANAGING SM

system is at that level. So we thought that we'd try to have SM

monitor itself, in the context of SMD and Wily Introscope.

Unfortunately, we got stuck at setting up the trusted RFCs for the SM

system to monitor itself. SAP AG's instructions for setting up the

trusted RFCs is in the following guide: Root Cause Analysis

Installation and Upgrade Guide (v3.30 - July 2008), section

6.3.2 "Setup RFC Destinations to Managed Systems". Transaction SMT1

doesn't permit 2 RFCs with the same target <sid>.

So, our questions:

1. Can a MANAGING system also be a MANAGED system?

2. If so, would you kindly clarify how to configure the RFCs for that

scenario? Or perhaps we don't use RFCs in this scenario?

For now, we will move on and try to setup Wily/SMD for a Java-stack

system we have available (Portal).

Hi Felipe Pitta,

The Managing system can be managed, for that include your Solman in a solution and proceed all the needed activities like Agent installation, Wily agent setup etc as you do for the managed systems.

You need to create RFCs to the BI client of the solman if you are the same BI component which is available in Solman (001 is your BI client) or RFCs should be created for the BI system which you are using.

WEBADMIN RFC will be created automatically during SMD Agent installation.

By this your solman's data will be collected.

For furthur clarifications pls revert back
