Connection Configuration

Refer to the installation procedures contained inside the Diagnostics Setup Guide.

Connection options

Before starting the installation make sure that you have identified which installation strategy you want to use. This means that you need to choose between the two following scenarios:

  • Direct Solution Manager Registration: In this scenario, the Diagnostics Agent establishes a direct connection to the Solution Manager system. Using this type of connection no SLD attachment is necessary especially since Solution Manager 7.1 SP05. Operational issues concerning Diagnostics Agents to Solution Manager connectivity can now be easily resolved via the “Non-authenticated Agents” list. (See Non Authenticated Diagnostics Agents).
    Prerequisite: Diagnostics Agent was connected to a Solution Manager 7.1 SP05 system at least once.
  • SLD Registration: In this scenario, the Diagnostics Agent registers itself into the production SLD assigned to the managed system on which the Diagnostics Agent will be installed. This scenario should be used especially if Solution Manager is not yet installed.

SLD Registration - Remotely Connect DIagnostics Agents  - Solution Manager 7.1

If you choose the "SLD Registration" strategy, the Diagnostics Agent should be visible using SOLMAN_SETUP transaction -> System preparation -> Step "Connect Agents". You must connect the relevant Diagnostics Agents to the current Solution Manager system in order to later be able to use them.

Agent reconnection may require waiting several minutes. It depends on settings which are set on the SMD Agent side. As soon as it detects that the association has been changed the SLD state is updated and the registration should proceed.

Direct Solution Manager Registration

If you want to perform the "Direct Solution Manager Registration" after the installation of the Diagnostics Agent, you will need to perform the smdsetup script action managingconf.

You can perform the direct connection to the solution manager in two ways, using the J2EE Message Server HTTP port (recommended). For more information about the smdsetup script refer to the Diagnostics Agent setup guide attached to the SAP Note for the most recent installer release (see SAP Note 1833501).

Example:

  • Connection by Message Server:

smdsetup managingconf hostname:"sapms://<fqn>" port:"<J2EE MsgServer HTTP Port>" [optional user:"<...>" pwd:"<...>"]

To run these script we will need to following information:

  1. Full qualified solution manager hostname.
  2. J2EE Message Server HTTP Port, like 81<SolMan Java SCS Instance>.
  3. Diagnostics Agent system user: For more information about these user check the User Administration Guide.
  4. Diagnostics Agent system user password.

Where to find the J2EE Message Server HTTP port.

  • J2EE Message Server HTTP: This port is usually 81XX (where xx is the SCS instance number: /usr/sap/<DASID>/SCS<xx>).

Make sure that you address the Solution Manager Java SCS Message Server with the above mentioned port number. URL.  Enter in the following URL: http://<solmal_msg_server_host>:<j2ee_msg_server_http_port>/msgserver/text/logon
This shall display a P4 and/or P4S line, like here:



Having all necessary information, you have to perform the smdsetup script to connect the Diagnostics Agent to the Solution Manager system:

   1. Open a prompt command and navigate to the script folder inside of the agent path: usr/sap/<SID_AGT>/SMDAXX/script
   2. Run the smdsetup script as the following examples:

  • Connection by Message Server:

     - smdsetup managingconf hostname:"sapms://solman.full.qual.host.name" port:"81XX" user:"SMD_ADMIN" pwd:"XXXXXXXX"

  •  Afterwards, the command should finish successfully:

Then check at the “Agent Administration” if the agent is connected to the Solution manager. If the agent does not connect to the Solman system check the SMDSystem log for error. This log file can be found into the log folder at the agent path.

IMPORTANT: Note that SAP recommends to use the connection via the Solution Manager Java SCS Message Server. Trying out a direct connection via the P4 or P4S port, is only relevant in some very specific situations.

    How to enable this P4 onto my solution manager/message server ?

    this SAP note 1878116 - P4 port not reachable tells nothing to me...

    Regards

  4. Anonymous

    Hello Expert,

     

    I am facing an issue while registering agent with Solman in windows using below command.

       1) Open a prompt command and navigate to the script folder inside of the agent path: usr/sap/<SID_AGT>/SMDAXX/script
       2. Run the smdsetup script as the following examples:

    R:\>C:\usr\sap\DAA\SMDA98\script\smdsetup.bat managingconf hostname:"Solman_host" port:"50XX4" user:"SMD_agent" pwd:"XXXXXX"

    i have also tried below command also

    R:\>C:\usr\sap\DAA\SMDA98\script\smdsetup.bat managingconf hostname:"sapms://solman.full.qual.host.name" port:"81XX" user:"SMD_ADMIN" pwd:"XXXXXXXX"

     

    but getting an error that SMD server or port is not reachable.

     

    Please suggest.  

    1. Former Member

      Hi,

      I noticed that your example command has port "50XX4" but I think this is usually "5XX04".  If you used "50XX4" then it maybe worth trying "5XX04" instead.

      Steven.

        Hello ,

        I have tried 5xx04 , it was not working ... This error I am getting while installing agent ... My installation is not yet completed ..

        I tried to install agent with production Solution manager details and use prod solution manger port which was working fine .... 

        only getting an error while installing agent with pre-prod solution manager details...

         

         

        1. Olivier MONTABERT

           

          Dear Viral,

          Note that the Diagnostics Agents shall in general always be connected via the Solution Manager Java SCS Message server and not the P4 or P4S port.
          I have updated this page to better highlight this and avoid ambiguities.

          Now, let me answer your question. In general the P4 port looks like: 5NN04. However the Java SCS Message Server HTTP port looks like: 81XX, where XX usually represents the Instance number. Remember also that the Java SCS Java has always a distinct instance number.

          Hope this answers your question.

          Best regards,

          Olivier

    Hello,

    do you have any guide or information on how to configure this but through a SAPRouter? It really seems that in the smdsetup sldconf or smdsetup managingconf commands you can't put the SAPRouter route (/H/..../S/...)

    So if I configure it like this:

    smdsetup sldconf hostname:"solution_manager_private_IP" port:"50000" user:"SLDDSUSER" pwd:"password"

    smdsetup managingconf hostname:"solution_manager_private_IP" port:50004” user:"SMD_ADMIN" pwd:"password"

    smdsetup addsaprouter route:"/H/SAPRouter_Public_IP/S/sapdp99/H/solution_manager_private_IP/S/3300"

    it doesn't work... any suggestions?

    thank you

      Hi Pablo,

      I see you have not received an answer so far. If you are still facing problems here, I suggest you report an incident on SV-SMG-DIA-SRV-AGT.

      Thanks,

      Pieter

  6. Salim Dawood

    hello:

    I read your text

    "Diagnostics Agents update their business logic (coding) from the SAP Solution Manager system to which they are connected. All connected Diagnostics Agents that are running in the landscape, are centrally patched, when deploying an LM-SERVICE Java Software Component Archive (SCA) on the SAP Solution Manager system." 

    We have recently upgraded our Solman7.1 to SP11 and now all our diagnostic agents have a RED icon in the managed systems tab. How do we fix this? does this mean we have to upgrade every ST-PI on the managed system? the ST-PI on the central Solman7.1 shows 2008_1_700 SP10 and on the managed systems it is showing 2008_1_700 SP07

    please advise...

    thanx

    1. Pieter Bloemendaal

      Hi Salim,

      I think your issue requires some investigation. Please report an incident on SV-SMG-DIA-SRV-AGT.

      Thanks,

      Pieter

    After patching to SP12 the diagnostic agents are not able to connect to solman. The error message is: Exception during getInitialContext operation. "Wrong security principle/credentials."
    I've checked the password and executed the script to update it but the issue is nto solved.
    Any ideas? 

    1. Olivier MONTABERT

      Hi Marian,

      Could you kindly precise your update/upgrade path ? Did you update from a Solution Manager lower than 7.1 SP10 ?
      Typically, such kind of user credential issues are related to the fact that with 7.1 SP10 and higher the standard user to connect the Diagnostics Agents is no longer SMD_ADMIN, but SMD_AGT.

      Therefore I propose to double check which user is maintained in SOLMAN_SETUP -> System Preparation -> Maintain Users (SMD_AGT). Make sure that this user is not locked. Also you can use the action "Update Password" to generate a new password is required. IMPORTANT: You will then get a notification pop-up. Make sure to confirm it, in order to execute as well any dependent setup activities.

      In any case, do not forget that you have the possibility to reconnect Agents centrally, having credential issues, using the Agent Administration UI, under the tab "Non-authenticate Agents".

      Best regards, Olivier

      1. Marian Canciu

        Hi Olivier

        We updated from SP10 to SP12. 
        The change from SMD_ADMIN to SMD_AGT is familiar to me but the fact that all DAs  are not authenticated after a SPS update is quite disappointing.
        I've chcked again according to your proposal but the user is not locked and the password is valid (I've double checked it).
        The reconnect Option via Agent Adminitration UI does not work. I'm still investigating and trying to discover the culprit.

        Cheers
        Marian 



         

        1. Olivier MONTABERT

          Hi Marian,

          Thanks for these additional details. First of all note that this behavior is not expected and did not occur internally on the various validation and demo systems.

          Could you kindly open a ticket on SV-SMG-DIA-SRV-AGT, attaching the zip file generate with the Diagnostics Agent OS command "smdsetup supportlogs" on one of the impacted Managed systems hosts ?

          By the way, did you also apply the LM-SERVICE 7.1 SP12 Patch 1, like indicated in SAP note:  2020219 .

          Best regards, Olivier

          1. Marian Canciu

            Hi Olivier

            THe LM-Service component has the SP12 Patch 1-> sap.com  LM-SERVICE  7.10 SP12 (1000.7.10.12.1.20140731094700)  SAP AG  SAP AG  20140819104722  
            I still want to invest some time and find a solution so no reason to hurry and create an incident.

            For the moment  the search continues.
            Many thanks for the hints! New ideas/approaches are always more than welcomed!
            Cheers
            Marian 

          2. Marian Canciu

            Hi Olivier

            I think I found the reason why the authentication is not working anymore.
            After changing the "Authentication Policy for Agents" from Certificate to "Use Basic authentication" I was able to connect (only for testing purpose) one DA. When switching back to Certificate again there was an issued error message like:  "Wrong security principle/credentials; Failed to connect to SMD server - CN=SMD_ADMIN;  Connecting to SMD server ms://solmanfqdnhost:xxxx/P4 failed".
            The certificate authentication has SMD_AGT as assigned user.
            Could you please clarify the following things:

            • how can the CN=SMD_ADMIN be changed to SMD_AGT; I tried using the smdsetup script but somehow the change was not activated
            • in case the Authentication Method is changed back to Certificate what are the prerequisites? Is SSL connection compulsory? Previous to SP12 the Certificate Authentication was working without SSL.
            • can  "Basic authentication" still be used or in the near future only the Certificate Authentication should be used?


             Thank you 
            Marian 

            LE: found the following note 2013578 - SMDAgent cannot connect to the Solman using certificate based method - Solman 7.10 SP11 

             

            1. Olivier MONTABERT

              Hi Marian,

              Thanks for the feedback and the reference to that SAP KBA. 
              FYI, I will ask our Product Support colleagues to revise it as it could be misleading.

              Let me come back to your situation, as you finally didn't open a message. (smile)
              Do you confirm that at the time you updated to 7.1 SP12 you also worked through the prerequisites mentioned in the Solution Manager Release Information Note (2020219) ?
              Especially did you come to apply some NW patches ? Did you in that case also pay attention to the maintenance of the TrustedP4SPort property like mentioned ?
              It is correct that the error "Wrong security principle/credentials" could also occur, in case some NW J2EE patches (7.02 SP15) have been applied on the SolMan 7.1 SP12 system, but the TrustedP4SPort property is not maintained in NWA, although you are using the authentication via Certificates.

              Kindly precise your situation, before we check out additional points together.

              Best regards, Olivier

    Hi there,

    I'm pretty new in SAP. Is it possible to connect the SAP Diagnostic Agent to more then one SolMan?

    Thx in advance, Ondry

    1. Thomas Stone III

      No, you can use the managingconf command they talk about above to switch which system it's connected to or install a second copy on a different instance.

    2. Former Member

      No, this is not possible. A Diag-Agent-Instance can only be connected to one specific Solman. But you can install more than one Diag-Agent on the Host..

       

    3. Diego Hernandez

      That´s the answer, You cannot connect the same DA to 2 differents Solmans, you need install one more DA into the same host.

  9. Ricardo Carrega

     

    What is the best practice for the DAA kernel? Should it follow the same kernel release as the additional SAP instances installed on the same virtual/logical host?

    1. Pieter Bloemendaal


      Hi Ricardo, 

      Refer to SAP Note 1833501 , go to the "Download Paths" section , and download the latest Diagnostics Agent Installation and Setup guide for your platform.

      In the guide, there is a chapter called "Kernel for the Diagnostics Agent",  where this topic is discussed.

      In addtion (we will update the guide with this for the next release), it may even be so that the SAP Kernel for your SAP NetWeaver ABAP or Java system, is not supported by the Diagnostics Agent (e.g. the 740 kernel is not supported).

      Also in the  "Download Paths" section, we point to the Product Availability Matrix (PAM) for the Diagnostics Agent. This PAM must always be respected when performing new installations. It also states which kernel versions the Diagnostics Agent supports.

      Best regards,

      Pieter

      1. Ricardo Carrega

        Thank you so much, Pieter!

        The Agent Installation guide helped a lot by ruling out any possible incompatibility issues. Other than the version, do all DAAs are unicode or should I  set up NUC DAAs with NUC instances? Just asking as this is not mentioned in the document nor PAM.

        Thanks,

        Ricardo

        1. Pieter Bloemendaal

          Hi Ricardo,

          For the Diagnostics Agent, only Unicode installations are supported. With non-Unicode managed systems, you should thus perform Unicode Diagnostics Agent installations.

          Best regards,

          Pieter

          1. Ricardo Carrega

            Pieter, once again thank you very much for the information you have provided me with.

            Warm regards,

            Ricardo

          2. Diego Hernandez

            Thank you so much Pieter for your answer. 

            Kind regards

    (see reply above)

  11. Pieter Bloemendaal

    Got a question on this statement:

    >> In addtion (we will update the guide with this for the next release), it may even be so that the SAP Kernel for your SAP NetWeaver ABAP or Java system,
    >>  is not supported by the Diagnostics Agent (e.g. the 740 kernel is not supported).

     

    It does not make a statement about dependencies between SAP Solution Manager and Diagnostics Agent. I just wanted to make clear that a kernel that you have selected and downloaded for your SAP NetWeaver system, may not be applicable for a Diagnostics Agent that you want to install.

    I have a request to monitor an Windows AD server with Solution Manager MAI monitoring. The prerequisite checker that is executed when installing an diagnostics agent is stating however that "Installations on domain controllers are not supported". Any experience with this? Is there a workaround? What's the risk/problem with this?

    1. Olivier MONTABERT

      Hi Guido,

      I double checked with a colleague from the SAP Solution Manager MAI Monitoring, and this support (Active Directory Windows server) is apparently not yet in place.

      Best regards,

      Olivier

      1. Former Member

        Hi Olivier,

        Thanks for your response. Does not yet in place mean that they are working on this? Can we expect a solution?  We are now monitoring this system with CCMS, but as I understand this won't be supported anymore as of Solman 7.2. Furthermore: the installation is stating that it isn't supported, but does allow to continue. Does it actually not work or does it work but does it interfere with ad processing?

        Regards

  13. Former Member

    Hello

    I have a doubt about witch SMD agent version we should use if we plan to upgrade to Solman 7.2

    We are planning to upgrade our Solman 7.1 SPS11 to Solman 7.1 and we have around 140 SMD agents connected to Solman, We use the agent 7.3 SP3 in all our customers but I can't find any documentation about which SMD agent version is compatible with Solman 7.2

    Someone knows if 7.3 SP3 is fine or we move to 7.4? 

    Thanks

    Hi  Mauricio,  hi Diego,

    I'm the product owner for SAP Solution Manager 7.20 Managed System Configuration, and for the SWPM based Diagnostics Agent installation routine.

    Diego, thanks for the very fast response, and yes it is all true what you write. I'd like to suggest that we see  if the 140 installed agents can be migrated without re-install.

    Mauricio, can you please create a ticket on SV-SMG-INS-AGT, so that we can evaluate if for 7.3 SP3 agents a migration without re-install is possible.

    Thanks

  15. Former Member

    Thanks Pieter and Diego

    For our team is very difficult migrate 140 agents from 7.3 SP3 to 7.4.

    If 7.3 is compatible with Solman 7.2 not make sense to move 140 agents to 7.4 

    I will open a ticket to SAP and let the community know the resolution 

    Thanks both

    Hi guys,

    I'm trying to connect a Diagnostic Agent on a Windows 2012 server residing on another network then our Solman. For this, my guess is that we have to go through the SAP Web Dispatcher.

    I  created two entries in the Web Dispatcher:

     

    icm/server_port_5 = PROT=HTTP,PORT=8003

    wdisp/system_5 = SID=SMP,MSHOST=solman_server,MSPORT=8100,SRCSRV=*:8003
    #
    icm/server_port_6 = PROT=HTTP,PORT=8004
    wdisp/system_6 = SID=SMP,MSHOST=solman_server,MSPORT=8101,SRCSRV=*:8004

    ** 8100 = MS port

    ** 8101 = SCS port

     

    When registering the DAA to both ports (8003 or 8004):

    .\smdsetup managingconf hostname:"sapms://webdispatcher" port:"8003" user:"SMD_ADMIN" pwd:"XXXXXX"

    I'm getting the following error:

    Connecting to SMD server ms://webdispatcher:8003/P4 failed - error counter: 1 - com.sap.engine.services.jndi.persistent.exceptions.NamingException: Exception while trying to get InitialContext. [Root exception is java.io.IOException: invalid response from message server: HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found]#

     

    When using this command:

    .\smdsetup managingconf hostname:"webdispatcher" port:"8004" user:"SMD_ADMIN" pwd:"XXXXXX"

    I'm getting those errors:

    SMD Agent connection status changed from LAST_CONNECT_ON_ERROR to CONNECTING#

    I noticed that the Web Dispatcher port 8004 is redirected to port 50000 of the Solman.

    Thanks for your helps!

    1. Olivier MONTABERT

      HI Julie,

      First of all kindly make sure your SAP Web Dispatcher has a recent version/kernel, and then first try out a simple P4 connection (load balanced by the SAP Web Dispatcher).

      Note: I assume your above icm/server_port_x parameter was not appropriate.

      • icm/server_port_<x> = PROT=P4, PORT=<Port_5xx04_on_Web_Dispatcher_receiving_Agent_P4_connections_from_other_network>
      • wdisp/system_<y> = SID=<XXX>, MSHOST=<Hostname_of_SAP_Solution_Manager_Java_SCS>, MSPORT=<Port_of_SAP_Solution_Manager_Java_Message_Server>, SRCSRV=*:<Port_5xx04_on_Web_Dispatcher_receiving_Agent_P4_connections_from_other_network>

      Then  configure the Diagnostics Agent with:

      • .\smdsetup managingconf hostname:"<Hostname_of_SAP_Web_Dispatcher>" port:"<Port_5xx04_on_Web_Dispatcher_receiving_Agent_P4_connections_from_other_network>"

      Let me know if this works. I think the inconvenience of the above approach is that the Diagnostics Agent won't open a P4/S connection to all SAP Solution Manager Java instances (which is the expected behavior), as it doesn't know the SAP Solution Manager Java message server. So we would have to try out additional profile parameters.

    Thank you Oliver for your fast and detailed reply... (smile) I tried the configuration you suggested but it it still not working.

    I'll look at our Solution Manager in case there is something wrong.

    Hi,

    1st of all its a great & useful post...

    we have around 700-750 sap systems in distributed installation that means each of them having 4 virtual hosts which comes 2400+ hosts... and all of them having their diagnostic agents which are connected to their respective solution manager 6 in count, all over the world.. 

    now the query is we want to centralize one solution manager instead of 6.

    1. can we connect 2400+ diagnostic agents to this solman system?
    2. will this solman perform well after peroper sizing?

    is there any specific note available for the same...

    waiting to hear from you asap..

    regards,

      Hi Singh,

      In my opion, yes, but you need change some WilyIntroscope parameters, and HW resources too. In my case, we have 700 technical sistems connected to our solman. All of this systems have 3-4 virtual hostnames.

    Hello,

    I need to unregister/delete a previous Diagnostic Agent because it want to register a new one pointing to the same SLD but we're getting the next error:

    java.rmi.RemoteException: Agent Registration failed: [SMDManager.registerPendingAgent] Receive registration for an already existing entry. Registration REJECTED

    we deleted the entries into sld and into Agent Admin application without success.

    Any suggestion to resolve this?

    Thanks in advance

      Hi Segio,

      try following the steps of this SAP note: 1907909  - How to connect Diagnostics Agent to Solution Manager system directly by using smdsetup script

      Regards

      This error message only occurs if the "old" Diagnostics Agent is still connected. To fix this issue, you do not need to delete it in the SLD/LMDB, but you just need to stop or uninstall the old Diagnostics Agent. Once it is offline, the new agent can connect.
