Procedure documentationPerforming the Managed Systems Configuration

 

After setting up the landscape management database (LMDB), check whether the automatically provided data is sufficient for the SAP Solution Manager applications.

Prerequisites

The following activities have been completed:

  • You have set up the LMDB. For more information, see Setting Up the LMDB Infrastructure.

  • You have set up the automatic registration of technical systems in your landscape, by data suppliers, to the System Landscape Directory (SLD). For more information, see Registering Technical Systems Automatically by Data Suppliers.

  • You have checked the data supplier completeness. In transaction LMDB choose Landscape Reporting. The report SAP: Technical Systems – Data Supplier Completeness gives you the status of all selected technical systems.

    For individual systems, check them in technical system editor in transaction LMDB. On the overview screen for a system, choose the More link under Last Change by Data Supplier for detailed information.

    For more information, see SAP Note 1842956Information published on SAP site and 1869701Information published on SAP site.

  2. Configure all technical systems that have a red traffic light in the System Status column or for which Update Needed is checked.

  3. Follow the guided procedure and check the activity statuses and log messages. For more information, see help text on the UI.
