Solution Manager configuration

[Former Member]

HI,

On our solman landscape , we have 3 clients( dev, QA, prd), I customized the configuration on the DEV environment, how to transfer the customization to other 2 clients, our consultants told us they can not be transfered, only need to customize on the individual client( QA, Prd) , because the custimization are related to host info(such as IP, host name , RFC etc), do you have some suggestion ? thanks.

Hello Hong,

I am not sure if you are usign the right terminology. A client is a way of organizing groups of users, such as Client 000, 001, 066, or 100, 200, 300, etc.

When you say you have a development system (DEV), a quality assurance (QAS) and a Production system (PRD) are we to make the assumption this is refering to Solution Manager itself, and not the System Landscape defined in Solution Manager?

Each Solution Manager system needs to be configured. When you activate BC Sets, they must be done locally, and cannot be transported, as an example. And not just customizing, certain data cannot be transported either.

While it is technically possible to make a system copy, there are many manual changes that are required, and if any are overlooked you will have problems, so this is not recommended.

I hope this helps you plan your strategies.

Regards,

Paul

Rohan , Paul, Thanks your answers!

Sorry, I did not use the right terminology, I only want to describe the solution manager itself(Dev, QA, PRD).

We active the change management in the Solman. We have some configuration and data, we need import them into the system individually without transport.

Hi,

Unfortunately they are correct - you cannot transport the majority of configuration between Dev-Prod in Solution Manager.

If you are referring to the landscape definition in SMSY, again you need another approach to connect your Production systems to your Production Solution Manager manually. Otherwise you can utilise your SLD if it is setup correctly and connect that to your Solution Manager via SMSY and RZ70 (and other transactions) to define your landscape again.

Hope this helps,
