How to directly install Solution Manager 7.1 sps 12 with 70SWPM/SWPM

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am trying to install solution Manager 7.1 SPS12 directly with 70SWPM10 SP7.

I found solution Manager 7.1 SR1 but I am unable to find the option for solution Manager 7.1 SPS12.

However media for Solman 7.1 SPS 12 are available on market place but SWPM document has no reference to the SPS 12 installtion

Someone can Please guide on this.

Thank you!

Hello, it's not possible to install the SAP Solution Manager SP12 directly. You need to go the described way to first instal SR1 and then use the SUM for the upgrade to SP12. Currently there is no official statement when the SAP Solution Manager 7.1 SR2 will be availaible. So I couldn't tell you when it's will be available also internally there is no information when and if it will be released. We also wait for that kind of installation.

Thank You all for the valuable reply !

I have successfully installed Solution manager 7.1 SR1 which installed solman SPS4 and then upgraded it to SPS12 with the SPS12 media.

Hi ,

You need to First install 7.1 using SWPM and then patch using the SP12  media  using SUM . the xml for the support pack upgrade to SP12  will be in the SP12 media

Hello,

I have the same question !

Have you tried to use  ./sapinst SAPINST_STACK_XML=<path>/SP12_51048401/DATA/SPS12_stack.xml ?

Hi Marc

Would be curious to know if this work, have you tried ?

According to note 1680045 it could make it, but I'm not sure that the SPS12_stack.xml is made for that kind of usage.

Best regards

1680045 - Release Note for Software Provisioning Manager 1.0 SP07

You want to install an SAP ABAP system including a higher support package and/or including further ABAP Add-Ons.

You plan the installation target using the landscape planner at https://service.sap.com/sap/support/lp/ui , and apply the generated stack XML file to software provisioning manager (minimum: 1.0 SP06). Included constraints and defaults from the planning will be used for the initial installation and usage of the succeeding Software Update Manager with the same stack XML file will be prepared for a unified consumption experience.

Hi

That is indeed a big pain with solman... the base 'installable' version is an SP04 from 2012 (10 Gb)... and then you need to apply SPS12, that weights 11Gb !

And then you have to explain to your customer why it is twice longer to install a solution manager compared to an ECC...

This might be solved when solman 7.2 will be available... and pray the first version will be bug free

Yes Yves,

I Strongly agree.. Its really difficult to convince customer why 2 phases ...

Thanks!

The installation DVDs are for base installation. After the installation you have to patch the system to latest stack or the stack you want to install. Please refer to post installation section in the installation guide.
