Advantages of SAP SolMan SP26 over SP23

[Former Member]

HI Gurus,

Please help me understand if there are any technical advantages of SP 26 over SP23.

We are currently planning to upgrade from SP18 to SP23 but currently SP26 is also available. I know that going to SP26 is more beneficial but can anyone tell me the advantages of going to SP26 in order to convince the project team.

We have a big landscape with all types of systems available.

Thanks in advance !

HI,

Find the details in Solution Manager 7.0 Ehp1 Sp26

Self Diagnosis Enhanced:

You can monitor the status of the Service Delivery Readiness function and perform corrective actions, if any problem exists. You can transfer the content to SAP for support.

Business Process and Interface Monitoring :

New: Dashboard

As end user (e.g. plant manager or application support expert), you can graphically display and monitor analytic key figures, e.g. throughput or backlog, in panels. This gives you an overview of the status of business processes, and identifies current operational problems.

Alert Inbox (Changed):

You can analyze the cause of the alert, and, for example, send a support message, or confirm that the alert has been handled.

When you select an alert, the system displays tabs with detail information:

• Alert list

• Monitoring activities

• Thresholds

• Configuration

• Schedule information

• Messages

• Service Desk

Job control (New):

You can pass the control over job scheduling in managed systems, to SAP Solution Manager. Each job in the managed system is redirected to a guided procedure which ensures that a job request is made, to schedule or change the job.

Central Job Scheduling (CPS) (Changed)

Job scheduling with SAP CPS by Redwood (previously an enhancement) is now in the standard. You can change jobs for which you use SAP CPS by Redwood, in the Job Management work center.

You can perform the following, and other, BW reports, to monitor job processing key figures (with and without steps):

• Daily view of steps
