Hi Gurus,
Can any one explain me why we use Solution Manager?
Thanks in Advance.
Hi,
SAP Solution Manager as the name suggests is for managing the whole gamut of SAP and Non-SAP solutions in the IT Landscape of an organisation. It provides you the tool, content and gateway to create, operate, manage and monitor your solutions over time. It is supported and enhanced by SAP's support organization, SAP Active Global Support, in conjunction with the other SAP development organizations. The system is designed to be a centralized support installation in what is generally a distributed set of system installations that support the business computing functions of the SAP software suite. SAP Solution is the managing system, and the business suite applications (e.g. CRM) is the managed system.
Solution Manager provides an extensive array of software features in the IT Support area for enhancing, automating and improving the management of SAP's MySAP Business Suite and NetWeaver Software Components:
Centralized Administration (Work Centers)
Project Management
Test Management
Centralized Monitoring
E2E Root Cause Analysis
Business Process Monitoring
IT Technical Reporting
Centralized Alerting
Installation Keys
Early Watch Reporting
Change Management
Support Call Management between Customer and SAP
Service Desk
Software Maintenance and Patching
SAP is assertively improving and extending many of the above feature areas.
SAP Solution Manager is the successor to ASAP ValueSAP. SAP Solution Manager helps in implementing and managing complex system landscapes. Globally systems are getting distributed across geographies and business processes cover more than one system. In such complex scenarios, integrating technical and business requirements is important for the success of IT. SAP Solution Manager provides SAP customers with an efficient means of handling both the technical and business process side of solution implementation.
As part of SAP Solution Management Solutions, the customers receive best practices relating to:
- Global Strategy and Service Level Management
- Business Process Management
- Management of MySAP Technology
- Software Change Management
- Support Desk Management
SAP delivers this using support programs during implementation of the system solution. Some of the benefits of using SAP's Solution Manager are that it helps:
- Manages the technical risk associated with the implementation of the solution ensuring technical robustness
- Helps leverage users core competencies in implementing solutions
- Ensures solution works as intended with best practices built in.

Hello,
The main purpose of Solution manager is to monitor multiple systems/landscapes through a single system.
Initially we can have EWA, CCMS, ChaRM, Service Desk, Business Process Monitoring for satellite/child ssytems.
If we are manually monitoring systems on daily basis we can replace that by using solution manager usin Early Watch Alerts and CCMS monitoring pager and mailbox alerts can be configured.
Transports can be done using ChaRM for satellite systems.
Service desk can be used as a ticketing tool.
More over we can have system availabilty monitoring through solution manager there by replacing the third party tools.
Solution manager can be used as a job scheduling tool also.
Hope it helps.
Regards,
Amber S
