Configuration Wizard 

Use

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 system. It guides you through the configuration process and offers a uniform user interface for all steps. It enables you to execute configuraiton tasks across multiple components.

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 and the configuration task for BI Java. You can run them several times and after all use cases.

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

 

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.

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

 

Integration

·        You make the technical settings with the Configuration Wizard immediately after installing an SAP NetWeaver system.

·        The Configuration Wizard is part of the SAP NetWeaver Administrator.

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

Features

The Configuration Wizard makes the technical settings (technical configuration) in an automated way. It allows you to enter the same data centrally, once only, for example connectivity, service users, and so on. The system distributes this data automatically in the SAP NetWeaver system.

Different Configuration Views

●      All Configuration Tasks

This view lists all configuration tasks available for your SAP NetWeaver system.

●      Initial Configuration

This view is displayed when you first enter the configuration wizard. It includes the configuration steps for all usage types you installed.

●      Interrupted Configuration Tasks

If you cancelled a configuration and want to resume it later, choose the configuration task and then Resume.

●      History of Executed Configuration Tasks

This view lists all configuration tasks that have been executed previously.

Error Message Handling

You can view error messages that occurred during the automated configuration process by choosing Protocol. Clicking on a step that failed to be executed opens a more detailed view, listing the status of the configuration step, links to further documenation, and further technical information.

If errors occur during the execution of the configuration steps, see Wizard-Based Configuration for the manual configuration of the steps.
