Request Solution Manager Key

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am trying to install SAP on a test machine just for training and testing purposes and this test machine will not be connected to any current landscape. Now the installation is asking to enter Solution manager key. I searched for how to generate it and a found some articles and SAP notes but my question is: do I have to generate Solution manager key using our production Solution manager? When I initiated the setup, I selected to install only ABAP and SAP R/3 Enterprise. Now how can I complete my installation? If I don?t want to use our production Solution manager, do I have to restart the installation and select to install solution manager in addition to ABAP and R/3 Enterprise?

Regards,

Hi Wilson,

You can just generate an installation key via one of your solution manager systems. Without key, you cannot proceed...

It is harmless for your productive solution manager to add this test system, so no worries.

Check the following link for the steps to take: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/45/50b3347f166600e10000000a114a6b/frameset.htm

Hi Mark,

Thanks for your help, but seem some the flag function is missing or dim, can you address for me, thanks!

In the SAP Solution Manager system, Call the system landscape maintenance (transaction SMSY), in your Solution Manager system. Create the system for which you want to generate the installation key, in the system landscape:

1. Select the landscape component Systems, and choose Create New System from the context menu.

2. Enter the system ID as system in the next dialog box.

3. Choose the product and product version from the possible entries help. Save.

4. Complete the system data as far as possible.

5. Save your entries.

Generate the key:

1. Choose Other Object in the System Landscape , menu.

2. Set the System flag, [ I COULD NOT FOUND THIS FLAG] and choose the system to be installed or upgraded, from the possible entries help. If you created the system in the SAP Solution Manager, in the previous step, choose this system.

3. Choose Generate Installation/Upgrade Key.

4. Enter the required data and choose Generate Key.

**The system displays the key.

With "Set the system flag" they just mean "select the system". So you can select your just newly created system and generate a migration key.

Hi, Rajesh,

Thank you very much, but I don't know why my Solution Manager wasn't shown the Generate Key button.

Hello Wilson,

I guess you are at the wrong path. Can you check if you are in "Other Object in the System Landscape ". you can go to this from the menu options.

Hi Wilson,

The button should be available. Please goto SMSY and there in the menu to 'System Landscape'->'Other Object'. There you can enter in the small screen the SID. Please click then on the 'Key' icon (CtlShiftF10 combination) and not on the 'Create' button to start the popup screen where you have to enter after the SID the system numebr and the message server. There should be also the button 'Generate Key'.

Best regards,

Hi Veit,

Thanks for your help, but I really couldn't found the 'Generate Key' button, I guess that might be missing something since our Solution manager system Go Live, it is really trouble, no other way to generate the Solution manager key?

Go to tcode smsy in your prod solman.

From menu, System Landscape->Select object

make sure "system" is selected.

Now select F4(keep your cursor in the value input place) and select any one of your existing systems.

Once you see your existing SID, now select ctlshiftF10.

In the System Id field enter your Test system SID, System Number, and messageServer(hostname) and hit generate key.

This way it wont record the key generation and at the same time you'll get your key.
