1 Introduction

The following how- to guide covers all of the steps required to implement the Data Volume Management Cockpit (DVMC) as part of the SAP Solution Manager 7.0 EhP (respectively SP18 onwards). The intention of this SAP Solution Manager scenario is to provide all necessary information for every phase related to Data Volume Managemen in one single platform. Please see the following high level summary on possible use cases.

Figure 2: Architecture Overview

Scenario on top of the SAP Solution Manager 7.0. workcenter.

The central platform of the SAP Solution Manager allows us to be connected to most of the systems of a whole landscape (e.g. via SMSY, SLD and SMD / SMD Agents) which is key for the creation of a centralized information platform. In addition the SAP Netweaver BW 7.0 which comes with the Solution Manager installation is used as a data store.

On the scenario side we will setup the Extractor Framework which is in charge of controlling and scheduling the related DVM extractors as well as the inbuilt resource manager for both system roles, SAP Solution Manager as the managing system as well as any target system (such as ERP 6.0) as the so-called managed system.

Figure 3: Extractor Framework

The DVM specific extractors and related data collectors are mainly application independent and more technically (i.e. SAP Basis) related. Most of the DVM Cockpit related functionality runs as of SAP Basis 4.6C (in addition with specific SP levels, please refer to the chapter prerequisites for more details).

2 Prerequisites

The following prerequisite SAP Notes ensure that all relevant steps are performed in order to be able to configure the DVMC. Please be aware that those notes always focus on SAP Solution Manager as well as the managed system. For both system roles the prerequisites need to be checked and established.

2.1 Technical Prerequisites

There are several main SAP Notes which are updated on a regular basis. Please always refer to these notes as well as to the automatic procedure described in the notes (based on report RTCCTOOL):

1. SAP Note 1159758 - Data Volume Management: Central Preparation Note https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1159758

2. Note 1233709 - Prerequisites for Data Volume Cockpit (DVM Cockpit) https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1233709

3. SAP Note 521820 - Availability of BusinessProcessMonitoring https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/521820

4. SAP Note 784752 - BPMon in SAP Solution Manager - Prerequisites https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/784752

5. SAP Note 1172948 - SAP Solution Manager - Basic functions https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1172948

6. SAP Note 1365123 - SMD Agent Strategy https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1365123

7. SAP Note 1234387 - SMD Agent Installation

https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1234387

8. General SMD documentation http://service.sap.com/diagnostics

2.2 Organizational Readiness

Apart from the technical readiness of the involved systems there are some organizational things to be considered, such as organizational roles, tasks and responsibilities in the area of Data Volume Management. To get the overall idea of the operational area surrounding the topic of Data Volume Management SAP has released the SAP Standards for Solution Operations, among others you will find the standard document for Data Volume Management.

For more details please refer to the Support Standards Information page in the Service Marketplace (-> alias supportstandards) or follow this link.

Specific configuration steps are done in the context of a Solution in the SAP Solution Manager. Therefore we highly recommend to follow our recommendations and best practices for a Solution
https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1159758https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1233709https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/521820https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/784752https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1172948https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1365123https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1234387http://service.sap.com/diagnosticshttps://service.sap.com/supportstandards
