Check Completeness of Technical System Information

After the setup of the Landscape Management Database (LMDB), check whether the data is sufficient for further use in SAP Solution Manager applications.

For example, automatic data suppliers may not be able to deliver all required information, such as installed products, diagnostics-relevant product instances, or ABAP SAP Central Services (ASCS). Only the definition of a product system on top of the technical systems enables maintenance transactions.

Prerequisites

The following activities have been completed:

You have set up the LMDB. For more information, see Set Up the Landscape Management Infrastructure.
You have set up the automatic registration of technical systems in your landscape, by data suppliers, to the System Landscape Directory (SLD). For more information, see Register Technical Systems Automatically by Data Suppliers.

Procedure

To check a technical system, proceed as follows:

Start SAP Solution Manager: Work Centers (transaction SOLMAN_WORKCENTER) and choose SAP Solution Manager: Configuration Managed Systems Configuration .
Select a technical system and choose Configure System.
In the Select Product step, the tool checks if a diagnostics-relevant and installed product has already been assigned to the system. If not (red status icon), follow the advice in the help tray for this step, and assign a diagnostics-relevant product to the technical system.
Goto the Check Prerequisites step, and check the messages from the log. Choose Refresh to update the list.
If error messages occur, follow the advice in the Details area.
Complete the other steps of the guided procedure.

Result

You can now use the SAP Solution Manager applications for the technical systems and product systems, for example in upgrade processes with the Maintenance Optimizer.
