Maintenance Optimizer - SLM not installed

[ken_halvorsen2]

I thought I had Maintenance Optimizer going (I have created a couple of Maintenance transactions) but now when I create one, I get a message saying that there is no SLM installed.

I don't think I was every asked to install one, but do I really need it?

But now I can't seem to get to the second step. It just sits there and tells me the transaction is saved when I click the Continue button.

Is there away around this? Does anyone have any ideas what might be wrong or how I can trace it down further?

Thanks Paul

I have it working, but I was just wondering why I'm getting the error. (Which is due to not installing the SLM)

Do I really need to install an SLM to have the other Maint Op functions work?

Hi Ken,

You may extend Maintenance Optimizer by SLM Configuration. So no it is not necessary, but is recommended.

You can download support packages and enhancement packages automatically, and deploy them (single system update) to the managed system using the Software Lifecycle Manager (SLM), with the maintenance optimizer.

So the automation of downloads and the single system update that are the big advantages to configuring SLM.

I hope this has been helpful.

Regards,

Paul
