In July 2006, CA and SAP have signed an agreement, allowing you to use Introscope with SAP-developed dashboards and instrumentation as part of SAP Solution Manager. This specific Introscope version build for SAP is refered to as Right-To-View (RTV) version of Introscope.
Introscope 7.1 as referenced below provides this functionality. The setup guide provides accounts and passwords to access Introscope.
If you have taken part in the rampup phase of this agreement you now have to upgrade to Introscope 7.1 or later.
The Right to View (RTV) version of CA-Wily Introscope is a restricted, read-only form of the full product and is bundled with SAP Solution Manager.
With the RTV version, support is limited to products that are licensed and supported by SAP. The instrumentation, dashboards, Probe Builder Directives (PBD#s), management modules, and Smartstor data contained within the RTV version of CA-Wily Introscope as provided by SAP is the intellectual property of SAP. Use of these functions is restricted by SAP and may only be used in an unrestricted manner by licensing SAP Extended Diagnostics by CA-Wily from SAP.
If you would like to increase the benefits of Introscope through custom dashboards and instrumentation, or extend Introscopeu2019s capabilities with Introscope PowerpacksTM, those services and products are available by purchasing SAP Extended Diagnostics by CA Wily through SAP.

To get the Introscope Agent 7.1p11 for LMSERVICE.SCA SP12, please implement Patch 5 for LMSERVICE.SCA SP12.b)ISAGENT80*.SAR. Java bytecode instrumentation agent for monitored systems for manual installation. You only need this file if you do not use the SMD for setup.
