Orphaned items in your MAI

[bxiv]

Information about the issue(s):

I started to notice numerous errors under 'Solution Manager Administration' work center > 'Self-Diagnosis' that among the various issues a red light for 'Managed Object Configuration MAI Directory'.  Clicking on the Display details I see references to systems that I removed from the LMDB before removing it from other various monitoring solutions offered by SolMan (my early days as a SolMan Basis admin); so I recently came across a report that allowed me to resolve the issue.

Instructions

• Fire up SAP GUI
• SE38
• Run the following  AC_ALRT_ANALYSIS_TOOLS
• Activate Expert Mode (Not needed to review Invalid data, but needed to perform the actual deletion)
• Click on 'Find and Delete Invalid Data' under the 'Configuration Tools' section - This will display two tabs 'Entries without active Managed Object (I have a list of Database Table(s) and the counts are all 0) and 'Managed Object without valid Entry Point assignment' (This is where I had numerous entries and the source of my error).

• Take note of the 'Managed Object ID' column (I suggest a 'ctrl Y' and select all of the Object IDs to copy and paste into excel/spreadsheet)
• Go back to the main page of the AC_ALRT_ANALYSIS_TOOLS report

**WARNING**   The next steps can be self inflicting, I suggest a backup of SolMan before proceeding.

• Click on 'Delete Managed Objects' under the 'Configuration Tools' section - you will be presented with a screen asking for input, if it matches, then it is removed from your system.

• Now go back to your spreadsheet and select one of the Object IDs
• Put the Object ID in the first box and execute
• Rinse & Repeat until you complete your list

Ending Thoughts:

Navigating back to 'Solution Manager Administration' work center > 'Self-Diagnosis' and clicking the 'Execute All' button again it will force a refresh check for all items, and now that I don't have missing Object IDs the 'Managed Object Configuration MAI Directory' has now switched to a green status.
