[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I am into a domestic project , as a PI consultant.My landscspe comprises of ECC 6.0 , PI 7.0 and SAP Triversity. We have a basis team to take care of the basis part.

Very rescentlty, I have been given choice to take care of an additional feature called Solution Manager . I dont know anything in prtactical about this.

I dont have any basis background. I only know Solution Manager enables

1. to generate a mail from SAP AG that gives full performance of the system, can be R/3 or SAP PI ,

2. Manual performance monitering [ from transaction perspective] to measure load on specific transactions can also be done.

Experts, I wish to know, apart from these, is there any other significant feature of SOLMAN that I need to know as an Interface consultant, taking care of PI as well as the inbound / outbound movement of idocs across R/3.

PLease enlighten me !

Regards,

Arnab .
