3. Register SAP Business Connector system in SAP Solution Manager

SAP Solution Manager 7.1 relies on the landscape information in the Solution Landscape Directory (SLD) and in its landscape management database (LMDB).

SAP Business Connector 4.8 does not provide an automatic registration to SLD. The Sybase Afaria system has to be created manually in the Technical System Editor in the SAP Solution Manager. With the Technical System Editor, you can manually create, change, and delete technical systems in the LMDB.

1. In the SAP Solution Manager Configuration (transaction SOLMAN_SETUP), choose Managed Systems Configuration > Technical Systems  > System Operations ->Create System.
2. Select a system type from the input help.
3. Define system data like system name and the  host there the system is installed
4. Assign a unique system identifier.
5. Create the system
6. Specify additional system properties like the installation path.
