solution manager

[Former Member]

do we exactly need solution manager to download support pack's

and kernel patches from service market place? If yes from which version or from when it is made compulsory? Can't we download without SOLMAN?

You need Maintainance Optimizer.

As far as i remember you need Solution Manager 4.0 with SP9.

Yes, it is the way SAP is doing to make SOLMAN mandatory.

It takes now much more time to download patches.

I don't understand why SAP wants to make our admin life more and more complicated...

Veera,

Maintenance Optimizer is required to download Support Packs released after April 2007 for all applications based on Netweaver 2004s. You dont need MOPZ for downloading SPs for R/3 system or Kernel.

For setting Maintenance Optimizer Rrefer to the Implementation Guide (IMG, can be called via transaction SPRO) ⇒ SAP Solution Manager ⇒ Advanced configuration ⇒ Basic settings ⇒ SAP Solution Manager system ⇒ Change Management ⇒ Set-Up Maintenance Optimizer
