Defining Installation Queues Using Stack Configuration

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

To define the installation queue using stack configuration, proceed as follows:

...

       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.

...

       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.

If errors occur during queue definition, read the queue calculation log.

If all import conditions are met and the required Support Packages are available, then the related installation queue is displayed.
