We currently synchronize ARIS for SAP and SAP Solution Manager (SolMan) and are trying to troubleshoot some performance issues. ARIS is our source of record for structure and SolMan is our source of record for Roles, Documents and Transactions.
After I run the sync, I have noticed that I now have hundreds of background jobs created in Solution Manager called "SOLAR_SUBSTRUCT_DELETE". I have never executed them because I don't know what they do and I haven't found anything in the ARIS documentation that references them. I'm wondering if I run these queued background jobs, that it might clean up some things behind the scenes and alleviate our performance issues.
We are running ARIS7.1 SR5 on Windows Server 2003 and SAP Solution Manager version 7 on AIX.
Any advice you can offer would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Brain,
For some times ago I have been noticed your question about ARIS and SAP Solution Manager synchronization. But unfortunately I can not reproduce your problem. That means If I synchronize I didn't have any of such a job with the name "SOLAR_SUBSTRUCT_DELETE". And I didn't found any functionality (function module, method or something else) which has such a name.
But I can assure you that the ARIS synchronization interface does not trigger explicit this jobs.
May be you can post more information (e.g. screenshots and so on) that helps me to reproduce such a behavior.
If you have any performance problem during synchronization then you have to check the well known bottlenecks which are the database (the database which is used for the ARIS Business server and the database of the Solution Manager system) and the network bandwidth between the ARIS Business server and the Solution Manager.

Hi Sascha,
Thank you for your reply! I attached a screenshot of my jobs in Solution Manager. As you can see there are some that are Finished and some that are Scheduled. I need to ask our SolMan admin why some of my recent jobs are now Finished. I think my permissions might have changed recently... The reason the other jobs are in Scheduled status is because I don't have permission to release my background jobs.
I *believe* that these background jobs are created whenever structure is deleted in ARIS and we sync to SolMan, which causes that structure to be deleted. Even though the background job hasn't been executed yet, the structure is still deleted in the SolMan project. So for example, if I delete a Scenario in ARIS, run the sync to delete that Scenario in SolMan, I no longer see the Scenario in the SolMan Template Project and also this "SOLAR_SUBSTRUCT_DELETE" background is created.
Any additional help you can provide would be great!
