To use the Landscape Management Database (LMDB), it needs to be initially set up, as follows.

Procedure

  1. Start transaction SOLMAN_SETUP and choose   System Preparation   Prepare Landscape Description   Set Up LMDB  .

    The system checks whether the LMDB has an object server name. If not, you are prompted to enter a new one. This name, in combination with the CIM namespace, specifies the absolute path of LMDB objects. They should be different in all SLDs and LMDBs. In the LMDB, it is always appropriate to use the server name as object server name. For naming recommendations, see SAP Note 935245.

  2. Connect LMDB to System Landscape Directory (SLD)

    The main source for system information should be a central SLD, which receives information from SLD data suppliers in the system landscape, and synchronizes with the LMDB.

  3. Automtic Synchronization from LMDB to Solution Manager System Landscape (SMSY)

    Some SAP Solution Manager applications still use SMSY as their source of system information, so the information collected in the LMDB is automatically forwarded to SMSY.

  4. Migrate System Information from SMSY to LMDB

    If you previously maintained system information in SMSY that cannot be received from the SLD, it can be better to migrate it to the LMDB than to recreate it manually.

  5. Complete Data Capture for the System Landscape

    Optionally, you need to set up the automatic data transfer from the Transport Management System (TMS), Manage RFC Connections for ABAP Technical Systems, and Synchronize System Information with the SAP Support Portal.
