SOLMAN System Decommission Process
SOLMAN System Decommission Process
Application Cleanup
1.1 Clean System Monitoring data
In this activity, you remove the decommissioned system from all system monitoring scenarios. You do
this to avoid incorrect monitoring results and alerts or loading misleading data into the database
(availability monitoring for a system to be deleted, for example).
Note: During this activity execution, all Monitoring and Alerting Infrastructure (MAI) extractors of the
decommissioned system are removed.
Note: This step can take several hours. Example: Removing 1000 periodic sessions takes about 1 hour.
To avoid orphan EFWK extractors, clean up extractors that monitor the decommissioned system.
To avoid orphan DBA Cockpit connections, remove the decommissioned system from the DBA
Cockpit configuration.
To avoid orphan remote function calls, clean up the RFC connections to the decommissioned
system.
To avoid orphan transport targets, remove the decommissioning system from transport routes.
To stop data collection from Introscope Enterprise Manager, deactivate the byte code adapter on the
Java stack of the decommissioned system.
To stop data collection, remove the Diagnostics Agents from the decommissioned system.
Clean up Diagnostics Agents roles for the decommissioned system.
3. Planning Projects and Solution Cleanup
3.1 Clean Projects and Solutions
In this activity, you identify the SAP Solution Manager projects and solutions containing the logical
components of the decommissioned system
If you do not remove the system physically, make sure that the SLD data suppliers point to another SLD
(for example, when you move the system to another SAP Solution Manager system), or shut down the
system including the data suppliers completely. This ensures that the system is not recreated in the SLD.
Besides removing the data supplier for the technical system, you must also deactivate the other data
suppliers, for example, the database system or the host.
Both activities must be executed with this guided procedure closed, because as soon as the
decommissioned system is removed from the LMDB, this guided procedure cannot be run any more.
Note: It is recommended to perform this activity before the Remove System from SLD activity in order to
remove Outside Discovery data enrichment and Additional Attributes (manual changes) related to the
decommissioned system.
