Solution Manager 7.2 - Installation and Configuration - SOLADM - Solution Administration

[yakcinar]

We have been using SMSY transaction to add technical systems to a Solution in Solution Manager 7.1.

It is done in Solution Administration  SOLADM transaction in Solution Manager 7.2.

 

I needed Solution Administration when I asked a CQC service from SAP and they told me to upload the solution holding my technical system to SAP Support Portal.

 

What steps I performed are;

• Created a new Logical Component Group in System Landscape tab of Solution Administration


• Assigned it to the technical system in LMDB


• Uploaded the Technical System Data to SAP Support Portal in LMDB.

 

You can see screenshots of these steps below.

 

 

Now I want to summmarize the Solution Administration with the help of Solution Documentation document.

 

First of all what is Solution? What is Logical Component Group?

These 2 pictures are taken from one of SAP Solution Manager 7.2 presentations and describes the solution and Logical Component Groups in brief well in my opinion.

There are systems in SAP System Landscape and they are grouped under ERP as Logical components Production and Development. You can also see that several branches of ERP LCG are created for solution documentation versions.

You can start the Solution Administration with transaction code SOLADM or via the SAP Solution Manager launchpad (SOLMAN_WORKCENTER).

With Solution Administration you can create, change and display your solutions.

By pressing Open link in Solution Documentation column you can open graphical view of your solutions.

These are the short explanations of the tabs on Solution Administration screen.
