Importing the ABAP transport on the SAP system

You can install one SAP agent for each SAP system where you import the Advanced Business Application Programming (ABAP) transport request to support data collection in the SAP system.

Before you begin

Before you import ABAP transport on the SAP system, ensure that the following prerequisites are met:

• To import the product transport request, R3trans Version 01.07.04, or later is required because the Dynpro and export and import tables are incompatible. The basic operation of the agent is not affected by the Dynpro or export and import incompatibility issues, only the SAP configuration windows are affected.

• You must ensure that you import the SAP agent transport on the client where the MAI configuration is available to monitor the Solution Manager System. To view features of the PI system, import the SAP agent transport on the PI system on a client where PI configuration is available.

• To view data in the group widgets that are under SLM subnode, you must complete the MAI configurations for PI and Solution Manager. You must also configure business process monitoring so that you can view data in the BPM Alerts group widget. To view data for the Latest Critical and High Priority Alerts group widget, make the following configurations:

  • In Solution Manager 7.1, run SOLMAN_SETUP transaction and select System Monitoring, activate or enable the third-party component, and add Implementation: BADI Definition for Alert Reactions and third-party connector.
  • Set the scope filter to All Alerts and Metrics.
  • Ensure that the implementation state is Active.

  For more information, see the following Online Service System (OSS) Notes, which include a list of required SAP service pack levels:

  • OSS Note 454321
  • OSS Note 330267
  • OSS Note 743155

• To monitor the SAP systems, the SAP agent needs the SAP statistics data. On SAP 7.0 systems, you must set the SAP system time to match the time for the operating system so that SAP statistics are collected with the correct time stamps. Similarly, update the SAP system time for the SAP agent so that the agent can collect data. For more information about this issue, see SAP Note 926290.
