Analyst‟s Perception on the Value of SAP Solution Manager It is a fully fledged and credible IT operations and service management tool
Originally designed as an incident and problem
management tool for SAP’s own customer support, the
Solution Manager today, is a fully fledged and credible IT
operations and service management tool especially
suitable for SAP-centric environments.
Since the SAP system landscape may include numerous
installed SAP and non-SAP systems, SAP Solution
Manager decreases and centralizes the management of
these systems and end-to-end business processes.
Proactive system and application monitoring as well as
change management are the most widespread use cases,
but customers aggressively step-up and extend the use of
Solution Manager to process management, test
management, incident and problem management.

Important to Know & Your Next Steps Upgrade details
Relevant for all customers: No CRM issues this time: SAP Solution Manager 7.2 does not
contain a new SAP CRM release. We only move to a new
enhancement package, the impact of the 7.2 upgrade is
significantly lower than in the 7.1 upgrade
If you already adopted the Monitoring & Alerting infrastructure,
then you are fine. Note that business process monitoring
based on the Monitoring and Alerting Infrastructure (MAI)
is mandatory in 7.2
The split of ABAP and JAVA stacks, and the upgrade to SAP
NetWeaver 7.40 are performed automatically in a standard
upgrade procedure
Activation of Solution Documentation can be prepared well in
advance of the upgrade
Optional upgrade step:
• The migration to SAP HANA fully supports the one-step-
upgrade approach (i.e. the SAP standard for migrating to SAP
HANA)
The upgrade from SAP Solution Manager 7.1 to 7.2 is standard
Planned
Innovations
This is the current state of planning and may be changed by SAP at any time.

SAP Solution Manager 7.2 Introduction to Release Management
Release & Deployment Management is essential
to manage successful deployment of all related
changes into the productive environment.
Release Management defines dates and
schedule for Releases.
Release content is determined by Projects,
Requests for Changes, and related Change
Documents.
The Release Cycle is a technical container and
model for the release content.

The Solution is the sum of a company’s
systems and processes. It acts as a container
for versions of solution documentation, one of
which is the production version.”
Versioning
– Each solution documentation version is a branch.
System Landscape
– Logical Component Groups group single Logical Components
together. Logical components point to actual technical systems.
Groups and Components are assigned to branches and re-used
also in other scenarios.
Processes
