1. Install and register a Diagnostics Agent

Refer to SAP note 1365123 for the Installation Strategy of Diagnostics Agents.  

Refer to SAP note 1833501 for the currently recommended Diagnostics Agent installer version.

Current Diagnostics Agent installers automatically install a SAP Host Agent. Make sure that the SAP Host Agent corresponds to the version in the SAP note 1448655.  In addition, please refer to SAP Note 1031096 “Installing Package SAPHOSTAGENT” for details.

2. Register SAP Router in SAP Solution Manager

SAP Solution Manager 7.1 relies on the system information in the Solution Landscape Directory (SLD) and in its landscape management database (LMDB). SAP Router 7.20 does not provide an automatic registration to SLD. The SAP Router 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.

To create the system in SAP Solution Manager:

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 in the new popup window.
3. Define system data like System Name and the  Host Name there the system is installed
4. Assign a unique system identifier Extended System ID.
5. Save your creation.
6. Specify additional system properties like the Installation Path.
7. Add “SAPROUTER 7.20” as Software Component Versions.

2.1 Select System type

Select “Unspecific Standalone Application System” as the system type.

2.2 Define System

Specify the main system properties in the “Define System” step.

• Assign a system name – a unique identifier of the new system in the LMDB.
• Select the “Others” as the technology type for the system.
• Specify the host name of the managed system on which SAP Router is running.

2.3 Define Extended SID

Specify an appropriate extended system ID and choose next.

An extended system ID is a system-type specific identifier of eight characters that is unique in the SAP Solution Manager. An extended system ID value is automatically proposed so you can accept it.

2.4 System Creation Confirmation

Choose Save to create new SAP Router system.

2.5 Specify additional system properties

In the System Overview add the installation patch of the SAP Router.

2.6 Add the “Standard Custom Instance product” instance

Add the “Solution Manager Standard Custom Product 1.0” product version to the SAP Router system.

• Click “Add” button in the tab “Product Instances (Details)”.
• Type “Standard Custom” in the Search Term, and then click Search.
• Choose “Solution Manager Standard Custom Product 1.0” and click Add button.

Mark the product version as “installed” and “diagnostics relevant”.

In strong sense the SAP Router is not a product. There is no own Product Versions or Product Instances defined for the SAP Router.

2.7 Add the Software Component Version

Add SAPROUTER 7.20 as the software component versions to the system.

• Click “Add” button in the tab “Software Component Versions”.
• Type “saprouter” in the Search Term, and then click Search.
• Choose “SAPROUTER 7.20” and click Add button.

Confirm software component versions selection dialog with the “Close” button.
