SAP Solution Manager Configuration (SOLMAN_SETUP)

SAP Solution Manager offers a guided configuration. You can access it with transaction code SOLMAN_SETUP or with the launchpad tile Configuration - All Scenarios. It allows an easy and fast step-by-step configuration of SAP Solution Manager. So it is easy to keep track of the open and performed tasks. You can postpone activities and easly access them later on by calling SOLMAN_SETUP again. A lot of previously time-consuming steps are now done automatically. Additionally, SOLMAN_SETUP allows to configure all managed systems from one central entry point. 

All steps of the configuration scenarios have a consistent design, which makes it easier for you to navigate. At the top of a configuration scenario, you see a roadmap telling you where you are within the configuration process. Every step contains a Help section, providing detailed information, such as what needs to be done and what will happen in the background. The Activities section, lists all activities along with a documentation. These documentations describe what exactly has to be done, e.g. in manual steps, and also provides error-handling procedures. The Log section shows detailed logs for every activity that was performed.
