as an example for this blog.

2. Creating the Host and the Database.

a.

Start transaction

SMSY

The following screen will be shown:

3. Creating the new system using the Wizard mode.

4. Creating the RFC Destinations using the Wizard mode.

After the new instance was successfully added into Solution Manager, the system will automatically start a new wizard to create the RFC Destination in the satellite system and in the Solution Manager system itself.

a.

Select button to continue.

b.

In this screen you will select which RFC destination you want to create with the help of the wizard, in our current example we have selected

Customizing Distribution

only. Then you will need to select which type of authentication to configure in the RFC’s,

Trusted System RFC Connection

is the best option since you won’t need to introduce the User and Password every time the system call this RFC.
But you will need to have the proper authorizations to allow Trusted RFC’s to work smoothly, check OSS Note #637429 for additional information on this matter.

c.

Select button to continue.

j.

Select button to continue.

k.

Now hit

Complete

button to exit the wizard and the following screen will be shown:

Note:

You will be prompted several times to introduce the user and password, this is due to the fact the system needs to connect to the satellite system in order to create the RFC’s depending on your previous selections, this screen may appears three times; be sure you have proper authorizations in the target system.
