Manage Technical Landscape Information 
On an abstract level, a technical system is a runtime on top of computer systems (hosts) starting, stopping, and acting as a whole, self-contained. A technical system offers services at service access points. The software that forms the technical system can be installed on a single host (standalone system) or distributed over several hosts (distributed system or cluster system). Individual product instances of product versions are installed on technical systems. A technical system often consists of sub-systems (technical instances or technical nodes).
Technical systems are the central element of the solution landscape in terms of software component deployment and operational activities, such as monitoring and alerting. They are typically created by installation and register themselves in the System Landscape Directory (SLD), which forwards the information to the SAP Solution Manager. Technical systems are identified by their system ID, host name, and other attributes like the installation number. A technical system is of a certain type, for example an Application Server (AS) ABAP, AS Java, or TREX system.
In SAP Solution Manager 7.1, technical system information is maintained in the Landscape Management Database (LMDB). For details see the following chapters:
In the Landscape Management Database (LMDB), you can maintain the following technical system types:
