On twitter we saw that Solution Manager 7.1 SP5 is planned to be available June 11th
Below are notes from an ASUG webcast I attended with SAP’s John Krakowski , SAP Product Management, covering the “Technical Side” of Solution Manager 7.1 SP5

Figure 5 shows management dashboards, which are Xcelsius based. With Enterprise Support the pre delivered management dashboards are available. You do not need a separate BusinessObjects license for these dashboards. If you want to develop your own dashboards you will need a license

Figure 6 shows “Interactive Continuous Improvement”. John said this will allow you a deep dive into technical data in your landscape.
As adding more uses, or changes, continuous improvement will show you the impacts of these changes

On the business process side, additional items planned are benchmarking, trend, age and enhanced filter functionality to “slice and dice”

Hello Tammy,
Very nice preview, i'm working on it now and the delta from 4 to 5 is impressive, i've had to relaunch the solman_setup because some configuration were gone right after the update.
But monitoring in general is awesome as usual 😉
I'm working on hana as well, and it's not so intuitive to plug solman on it.
But the global thing is very good.
