SMSY: Find a system with the installation number

[Former Member]

Hi!

When I access to DSWP --> Change Management --> New Maintenance we get the following warning:

User x has not authorization for the installation number 002054556.

Question:

How can we find this installation number within tcdoe SMSY?

We have almost 80 SAP systems.

Thank you!

Hi Holger,

At transaction SMSY go to Utilities->Analyses. Select header data and execute (F8). There you will have a list of your systems and one of the collum is Installation number.

I hope It could help you.

Best regards,

Tomas.

Great! It works.. We can even search from there

Another way is to use the i-Base tx: IB52 -> installation 1 (usually).

Use the search button to search for your instalation number.

The number might belong to more than one system.

Table SMSY_SYSTEM_SAP offers search ability for system number.

/cheers

Hi!

The problem still is that the installation number appears within tcode SMSY by creation of new system in the list of installations.

When I access to IB52 --> Installation "1" or table SMSY_SYSTEM_SAP the desired installation number does not appear there.

I also checked all the SAP systems witihn SMSY. No of this has this installaiton number.

Question:

How can I delete this installation number?

Hi Holger,

You reached the change management screen after you selected your Solution. The installation number in the error message must be pointing to the system included in your solution. Please check for the target system's installation number in SMSY assigned for that solution.

Hi!

Many thanks for your answer.

>The installation number in the error message must be pointing to the system included in your solution. Please check for the target system's installation number in SMSY assigned for that solution.

That is exactly my question, how?

Is there a way within SMSY to find the installation number by search function?

hi,

In SMSY, there is no search function available to find a system using the installation number (as far as I knwo). But u can always use the logic I explained above to find the system. Most possibly, it will check the target system (usually the production) in your solution (defined in DSWP).

If you want to find the system using a search function only, then you may follow what Christian Kaunzer said.

Hope this answers you.
