Searching the Help
To search for information in the Help, type a word or phrase in the Search box. When you enter a group of words, OR is inferred. You can use Boolean operators to refine your search.
Results returned are case insensitive. However, results ranking takes case into account and assigns higher scores to case matches. Therefore, a search for "cats" followed by a search for "Cats" would return the same number of Help topics, but the order in which the topics are listed would be different.
Words and Phrases
| Search for | Example | Results |
|---|---|---|
| A single word | cat
|
Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats". |
|
A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase. |
"cat food" (quotation marks) |
Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase. |
Using Boolean Operators
| Search for | Operator | Example |
|---|---|---|
|
Two or more words in the same topic |
|
|
| Either word in a topic |
|
|
| Topics that do not contain a specific word or phrase |
|
|
| Topics that contain one string and do not contain another | ^ (caret) |
cat ^ mouse
|
| A combination of search types | ( ) parentheses |

Create keystore and truststore
SMSSMEX requires:
- Two separate stores that contain the certificates used to authenticate and encrypt communication.
-
The following certificates:
- Signed certificate with the long hostname of the SMSSMEX server in the CN section (for example
CN=”server.hp.com”). This certificate must be mapped to an SAP user in SAP Solution Manager. - Certificate of the root CA used to sign the certificate of the SAP Solution Manager.
- Certificate of the root CA used to sign the certificate of the SMSSMEX certificate.
- Signed certificate with the long hostname of the SMSSMEX server in the CN section (for example
The keystore must contain the following certificates:
- Root CA certificate used to sign the SMSSMEX certificate
- SMSSMEX certificate
The truststore must contain the root certificate used to sign the certificate of the SAP Solution Manager.
Any tool can be used to create and manage the key- and truststores. The following examples use the Java JDK tool keytool to create and import a signed certificate.
-
Create a self-signed certificate. The keypass and the storepass must be identical.
keytool –genkey –alias <alias> -keyalg RSA –keystore <keystorefile> -storepass <password> -keypass <password> -dname “CN=<serverhost>, OU=<MYOU>, O=<MYORG>, L=<MYCITY>, ST=<MYSTATE>, C=<MY>”For example:
keytool -genkey -alias ovictex -keyalg RSA -keystore "C:\Program Files\Micro Focus\SMSSMEX\config\certs\ovictex.keystore" -storepass ovictex -keypass ovictex -dname "CN=helen2006.asiapacific.hpqcorp.net, OU=TEST, O=GDCC, L=SH, ST=CN, C=CN" -
Create a certificate request:
keytool –certreq –keystore <keystorefile> -alias <alias> -storepass <password>For example:
keytool -certreq -keystore "C:\Program Files\Micro Focus\SMSSMEX\config\certs\ovictex.keystore" -alias ovictex -storepass ovictex - Use the resulting certificate request to acquire a signed certificate from SAP Web (https://websmp102.sap-ag.de/SSLTest) with chain PKCS#7. Copy the signed response
<filename>.p7b(for example,sap_rp.p7b). - Download the root certificate file from https://tcs.mysap.com/invoke/tc/getCert?SAPServerCA.der.
-
Import the root certificate from the Certificate Authority (CA) into the keystore.
keytool –import –v –alias <alias2> –keystore <keystorefile> -storepass <password> -file <rootcertificatefile>For example:
keytool -import -v -alias saproot -keystore "C:\Program Files\Micro Focus\SMSSMEX\config\certs\ovictex.keystore" -storepass ovictex -file "C:\Program Files\Micro Focus\SMSSMEX\config\certs\getCert.cer" -
Import the answer from the Certificate Authority into the keystore. Use the same keystore file and alias the request was created from.
keytool –import –v –alias <alias> –keystore <keystorefile> -storepass <password> -file <certificatefile>For example:
keytool -import -v -alias ovictex -keystore "C:\Program Files\Micro Focus\SMSSMEX\config\certs\ovictex.keystore" -storepass ovictex -file "C:\Program Files\Micro Focus\SMSSMEX\config\certs\sap.p7b"To import the certificates into the truststore, use the same command as in the step above, but instead of
<keystorefile>use the filename of the truststore (if it does not exist, it will be created automatically). For example:keytool -import -v -alias saproot -keystore "C:\Program Files\Micro Focus\SMSSMEX\config\certs\ovictex.truststore" -storepass ovictex -file "C:\Program Files\Micro Focus\SMSSMEX\config\certs\getCert.cer"
