Procedure

  1. To select the add-on packages, choose Start.

    The Add-On Installation: Add-On Selection screen appears.

    The list of add-on packages is filtered. The filtered overview shows all packages that match in your system in question according to the initial tests. To deactivate the filter and display all existing add-on packages, choose Deactivate Filter.

    When creating an add-on, thematically similar add-on packages can be grouped together. Add-on packages that belong to a group are displayed in a tree. To expand or collapse the tree, double-click on the name of the group.

  2. Optional: Load further installation packages into your system. To search for additional installation packages in the current system’s EPS directory, choose Load. The system then displays any new packages it finds too.

    For more information, refer to:Loading Installation Packages.

  3. Depending on whether your system is configured in the Solution Manager or not, proceed as described under Defining the Installation Queue Using Stack Configuration (Solution Manager) or Defining the Installation Queue Manually.

  4. Optional: Extending the Installation Queue with Support Packages.

  5. To start the queue calculation, choose Continue.

Defining the Installation Queue Using Stack Configuration

If your current system is integrated into a Solution Manager landscape and is already configured in Solution Manager, Maintenance Optimizer provides a list of add-ons and Support Packages for your system in an XML file.

Proceed as follows to define the installation queue using a stack configuration:

  1. To accept the configured selection, choose Stack Configuration. A dialog box opens, providing a list of configurations in Maintenance Optimizer that are available for your system.

  2. Choose the required configuration and confirm your choice by choosing Continue.

    After making your selection, the Add-On Installation Tool again checks whether the selected configuration is compatible with your system.

    If it is not, an error message appears.

    If the configuration is suitable, it is taken over automatically, and you cannot change it anymore. However, you can reset the entire step by choosing Back.

  3. In the Add On Selection dialog box, the add-on packages for the selected configuration are listed. Check the selection and confirm by pressing Continue.

The system calculates the complete installation queue including any Support Packages.

Defining the Installation Queue Manually

Proceed as follows to select the add-ons manually that are to be installed:

  1. Select the add-ons to be installed and choose Continue.

    This can have varying results:

    • The add-ons cannot be installed in this system, as not all installation conditions have been met. If this happens, you are informed of the conditions in question.

    • Additional packages (Support Packages or CRTs) are needed for the installation. The system specifies which packages are missing. The installation does not start. Load the missing packages.

      Note Note

      If errors occur during queue definition, read the Queue Calculation Log.

      End of the note.

If all installation conditions are fulfilled and all the necessary Support Packages are available, then the installation queue is displayed.
