Hi John,

I would start with the help page at http://help.sap.com/saphelp_smehp1/helpdata/en/89/a7c08d740c4cffb491f98801f17d30/frameset.htm which is unusually good for an SAP help page As long as your EWA's are already working, the setup is trivial. The help page describes the other prereqs. Last time I checked the process only supports ABAP systems although I know there are plans to push out Java licenses through the SMD agents in the future (maybe SolMan 7.1?).

That's actually available with 7.0 EhP 1. The Java certs aren't mandatory yet, but of course that's how the ABAP ones started out.

Dear Gurus,

The saphelp link I have checked before already. Its no help at all, I have checked it before, I was hoping someone here could help with a setup guide for this ?

Thank you.

As Jon wrote, once EWA is setup, you practically get the maintenance certificate distribution for free. So you should try for a guide on EWA setup instead of one on maintenance certificates alone. For example, "[How to Generate EWAs for Satellite Systems|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/e0f35bf3-14a3-2910-abb8-89a7a294cedb]" (SDN blog). Then check out [Note 1280664|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1280664], "Distribution of maintenance certificates: Troubleshooting".

Regards,

Sean
