Setting Up the UserInterface Integration

Some AE functions are not directly available in the SAP Solution Manager but by using a specific configurationA set of constituent components that make up a system. This includes information on how the components are connected including the settings applied., you can open the UserInterface directly from the Solution Manager at the required position. By doing so, you can quickly access these functions.

The following functions are not directly available in the SAP Solution Manager:

• Creating and editing Job objects
• Listing the existing Job objects
• Creating and editing workflows

To set up the UserInterface integration, follow the steps below. For a general description of the configuration process, see SAP Solution Manager Integration.

Supplied Files

The UserInterface is supplied as a Web application that must be integrated in a Tomcat Application Server. A Tomcat Application Server of version 7 is required for the installation process.

The Web application is supplied in the following directory: IMAGE:\AGENTS\SAP\_SOLMAN\

Procedure

	1.	Setting up the UI Web application

• Host
• Copy the file UC4WEBSTART.WAR to the "webapps" folder that is stored in the program directory of the Tomcat Application Server.
• Restart the Application Server.
• The new sub-folder UC4WEBSTART will be created in the webapps directory.

Do not delete the WAR file because if you do so, Tomcat will also remove the folder UC4WEBSTART.

	2.	Adjusting the configuration file

• Host
• This step determines the AE system to which the UserInterface should connect.
• Note that you can configure only one connection for the UserInterface.
• Open the configuration file:
  <Tomcat directory>/webapps/uc4webstart/WEB-INF/web.xml
• Adjust the following parameters to your system environment:
  
  • Server name: The name or the IP address of the computer on which the AE system runs.
    
  • System name: The name of the AE system.
  • Port number: The port number of the CP to which you want to establish a connection.

An example of the relevant part of the file web.xml that must be adjusted:

<init-param>
<param-name>Server name</param-name>
<param-value>SAPHOST01</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>SystemName</param-name>
<param-value>UC4</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>Portnr</param-name>
<param-value>2217</param-value>
</init-param>

	3.	Configuring the Agent

• Agent computer
• Open the INI file of the SAP agent for which you have configured the SAP Solution Manager Integration.
• Enter the URL of the UI Web application as the value for the parameter WebStartURL= ([SMSE] section).
  
• Save the INI file and restart the agent.

For example:

[SMSE]
webStartURL=http://saphost01:8080/uc4webstart

	4.	Calling the UserInterface

The URL that you have specified in the agent's INI file opens when you call one of the described functions in the Solution Manager.

The Web browser displays a page that includes the link "Start AE UserInterface". Click it to open the UserInterface's login dialog. Log on to run the selected function in the UserInterface.

For example: When you create a new job in the SAP Solution Manager, the UserInterface and the dialog open that request you to enter a name for the new Job object.
