The service definitions determine which data the
Request Session Data
task and the
Session Add-On
task will collect for a session. The
Refresh Service Definitions
task updates the service definitions from the SAP service system (SAP Support Portal) or from a master SAP Solution Manager system in the managed system.
If your managed system is monitored by multiple SAP Solution Manager systems, one of them must be registered with the managed system as the master SAP Solution Manager system. If you are only working with one SAP Solution Manager system, it is automatically the master SAP Solution Manager system. This prevents inconsistencies by ensuring that the service definitions in the managed systems are not updated from different sources.
If you are working in an SAP Solution Manager system, you should update the service definitions from the master SAP Solution Manager system. If your system does not have a RFC connection, for example because it is a high security system, you can update the service definitions through a transport from SAP.
