SOLMAN 7.0 --> Java stack mandatory ?

[Former Member]

Hello SAP men,

I am preparing the installation of SAP Solution Manager 7.0 to change our 3.2 old version.

We are going to make a "from scratch" installation ; no upgrade of the old one.

But I am a little bit surprised : it seems to be mandatory to install a Java stack in add-in of the ABAP stack.

It seems to have something to do with the Diagnostics Agent.

That is what I understood in the SAP Installation Guide but it is not very clear...

Could someone tell me :

- is it really mandatory to installa the Java stack even if we get no Java instance on our landscape ?

- what is exactly the Diagnostics Agent ?

- all information you thing to be important for my new installation ?

Many thanks for your precious help !

Yes. The SolMan installation is a combined one, you can´t leave the Java part out.

You can, however, disable the start of the Java instance by putting

rdisp/j2ee_start_control = 0

rdisp/j2ee_start = 0

in the instance profile after the installation. This will save you memory.
