Configuration Wizard 

Use

When you have installed a SAP NetWeaver system, the Configuration Wizard makes technical settings which are required for the technical processing of a system or a technical scenario, e.g. connectivity, service users, usage-type initialization.

Integration

●      You make the technical settings with the Configuration Wizard, immediately after installing a SAP NetWeaver system.

●      The configuration wizard is part of the SAP NetWeaver administrator.

●      You use the Configuration Wizard for the initial technical configuration. The SAP NetWeaver installation guide contains detailed information about the configuration tasks.

Prerequisites

You have installed your system.

Features

The configuration wizard makes the technical settings (technical configuration) using usage-type-based tasks, e.g. for Process Integration (PI), Application Server Java (AS Java), etc.. Automated configuration tasks allow you to enter the same data centrally, once only, e.g. connectivity, service users, etc. The system distributes this data automatically in the SAP NetWeaver system.
