What’s New?

In SAP Solution Manager 7.2 SP13 release multiple add on features and performance improving design update was implemented in Tester worklist.

  • In the Current Update, COMMENT and Miscellaneous fields of BO SMT_TEST_STATUS will not be stored BO Root anymore, as they led to performance issues on large data.

  • From SP13, The Comment and Miscellaneous will be accessed as a separate node.

  • New individual transient nodes are used as buffer and Application interface,

  • Persistence nodes are used to store data in Chunks of SSTRING.


Updated Design of Comment and Miscellaneous fields.


When the user updates the Comment or Miscellaneous fields on UI, The data is passed to as a String field. It is then split into multiple chunks of 254 characters and saved in the database.

To display the data, The Chunks are concatenated from the database based on sequence and sent to the transient node where UI can access data.

How to Migrate Existing Comment and Miscellaneous from the Root node.


Migration to new fields should be done in the initial SolMan set up using Tcode SOLMAN_SETUP.
