SAP Microsoft Management Console: Windows

Use

Windows comes with a system and application management framework, the Microsoft Management Console (MMC). The actual management functionality is implemented in so called snap-ins.

SAP provides a snap-in for the MMC — that is called "SAP Management Console" (SAP MMC) — to administer, monitor, and troubleshoot SAP systems. It also can be used to collect system information in a snapshot, which could easily be attached to support tickets in order to simplify the ticket processing.

Installation and Configuration

SAP MMC is automatically installed during SAP installation on Windows. You can open default SAP MMC configuration by choosing the desktop icon or from the Start menu. Additional configurations can be created by starting the executable file mmc.exe and adding the SAP Systems Manager snap-in via the menu path Start of the navigation path File Next navigation step Add/Remove Snap-In... SAP System Manager End of the navigation path .

SAP MMC utilizes the SAPControl web-service interface of the SAP Start Service to access the instances of SAP systems running on any operating system supported by SAP (Windows, Unix, Linux and others). You can use it to administer individual systems as well as huge system landscape (e.g., optionally registered in Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) or System Landscape Directory (SLD)). SAP MMC can also be installed separately (for example, on an Administrator’s Windows machine) using the SAP MMC MSI installation package.

SAP MMC comes with an integrated F1 context sensitive help that provides detailed information on the offered functionality.
