Automatic distribution of Maintenance Certificates with SOLMAN EHP1 SP19

Former Member

Hi!

We are using SOLMAN EHP1 (SP 19) and would like to implement the automatic distribution of Maintenance Certificate via SOLMAN.

For some of the new SAP satelite systems and system with several active hardware key we do not get the maintenance keys installed automatically with SOLMAN.

Questions:

1) Does SOLMAN have any problems/restrictions for the automatic download and distribution of the maintenance certificates when satelite systems have several licenses (temporare and permanent) or several hardware keys (one of the system before upgrade, other one after upgrade)

2) How does the whole process look like from the technical point of view?

2a) Which job update the data in SOLMAN, even when the new SAP satelite systems have been connected to SOLMAN?

2b) Which job requests the maintenance certificate from SAP Service Marketplace? (REFRESH_ADMIN_DATA_FROM_SUPPORT)

2c) Which job send the collected data with certificates from SOLMAN to satelite system?

Any helpful information will be very appreciated

Hi Thomas,

Let me try to answer your questions.

No, Solution Manager will request a Maintenance Certificate from SAP Global Support Backbone for each Hardware Key, which is registered at SAP (/licensekey, /system-data).

2a) Job "LANDSCAPE FETCH" updates system data from managed systems (previously used term: satellite system) and stores the result in Solution Manager (transaction SMSY)

2b) Job REFRESH_ADMIN_DATA_FROM_SUPPORT is requesting and receiving Maintencance Certificates from SAP Global Support Backbone

2c) The managed system retrieves the data from Solution Manager via SDCCN (tasks: "Maintenance Package" or "Get License Data"). Solution Manager does not distribute the data to managed systems (ABAP).

That Note is a lifesaver. In particular, look at slic/buffer_entries_dig_sig

In your case, the multiple hardware keys means multiple product and maintenance licenses, so you may have exceeded the buffer size.
