Configuration Wizard

Once you have installed an SAP NetWeaver system and applied the latest kernel and Support Packages, the Configuration Wizard supports you in performing configuration tasks in an automated way and thus simplifies the setup of your systems. It guides you through the configuration process and offers a uniform user interface for all steps. It enables you to execute configuration tasks across multiple components.

Caution Caution

You can run the configuration wizard only once and only directly after installing and patching your SAP system.

You cannot use the Configuration Wizard after:

Upgrade
Add-In installation
Enabling additional usage types

In these cases, you need to manually perform the corresponding configuration steps.

This does not apply to connectivity configuration templates. You can run them several times and after all use cases.

For more information about manual configuration steps and connectivity configuration templates, see Wizard-Based Configuration.

End of the caution.

Prerequisites

You have applied the latest kernel and all ABAP and Java Support Packages to your system. For more information, see Applying the Latest Kernel and Support Packages in the installation guide of your product at http://service.sap.com/instguides.

Note Note

You can find the latest LMTOOLS patch at http://service.sap.com/swdc Support Packages and Patches Search for Support Packages and Patches . Search for LMTOOLS*P. Download and save the sca file. Apply the patch using the SDM.

End of the note.
