SAP Solution Manager Basic Configuration

This process configures the SAP Solution Manager, either after installation or after importing support packages. The system leads you through this process, which comprises the following areas:

• Initial Configuration

  When you have entered logon and authorization data for the SAP Solution Manager ABAP and Java instance administrators, connect the System Landscape Directory (SLD) to the SAP Solution Manager, with this configuration.

• Basic Configuration

  Basic configuration. Configure the basic functions of the SAP Solution Manager.

• Configuration of Managed Systems

  Connect managed systems to the SAP Solution Manager, and configure them for basic SAP Solution Manager functions.

Prerequisites

You have installed the SAP Solution Manager and satisfied the following configuration prerequisites:

• The license key is installed.

• The profile parameter /ICM_HOST_NAME_FULL or SAPLOCALHOSTFULL is set.

• The Transport Management System (TMS) is configured.

• The connection to the SAP backend system exists and works.

• The SAP Solution Manager Java instance is up-to-date.

You have started the load generator (transaction SGEN), for the following components, before configuration, to increase the performance of your systems in configuration:

• ST

• SAP_BASIS

• SAP_ABA

Process

1. Start the transaction SOLMAN_SETUP, to perform the assisted basic configuration of the SAP Solution Manager.

2. The first time you start your system, you go automatically to a Service Activation dialog window. You confirm the activation of Web-Dynpro Services.

3. The system then shows which configurations are possible, in the SAP Solution Manager: Overview screen. The system tells you which open activities you must perform for a configuration which you have selected.

   • You always perform the initial configuration for new installations. Choose the Initial Configuration view.

   • In an update of the support package stack for your system, you can, for example, go to the process with the Basic Configuration, or only perform part of the initial configuration, for example only to connect SLD.

4. The system starts a guided procedure, and leads you through the configuration steps. When configuring managed systems, you first go to a system selection screen, before the guided procedure starts. For more information, see SAP Solution Manager Basic Configuration Assistant.

NOTE

You can also perform the basic configuration of the SAP Solution Manager without guided procedures. You must then perform the required SAP Solution Manager customizing activities individually, manually. For more information, see Basic Settings in SAP Solution Manager customizing
