The global and independent platform for the SAP community.

E3 Category: SolMan Column

The SAP Solution Manager - or SolMan, as it is affectionately called by the SAP community - is the central point for service and maintenance. In a hybrid IT architecture - on premise and on demand - maintenance becomes even more important.

Software must be put through its paces before it is put into operation. The quality of the tests is crucial, because those who carry out good tests find errors early on, thus reducing development costs and improving software performance.
SAP Solution Manager has been around since about 2004, a world long gone without cloud or S/4. Then the end of maintenance was announced for 2027 and the shock was deep. Was that it for SolMan then?

SolMan is getting its time in the spotlight: SAP has positioned it as the central integration engine of the Business Transformation Suite (BTS). But what exactly is BTS all about?
Once SAP SolMan is in use, "Make a wish" begins - but possibly even before that. From a consultant's perspective, you then hear questions like, "Can Solution Manager...?" How do we deal with that?
Like a cockpit, SAP Focused Build offers all planning and control tools specifically for large, agile projects. From takeoff to safe landing, they flank all processes. But what does an SAP project have to do with a flight?
Many companies face the challenge of replacing their ERP suite with the new S/4 Hana software generation. Cleverly used, SolMan provides support throughout the entire migration project.
In the summer of 2020, the time had come: SAP and Tricentis announced their partnership, expanding the number of SAP-certified test automation tools to three.
Tidying up, creating order, backing up old data sets - How can you cleverly approach the topic of data archiving and data backup in SAP Solution Manager?
Whereas dashboards used to be a bit of a red rag in SolMan, today Focused Insights offers a really usable set of pre-built dashboards that take advantage of SolMan's entire data set.
With SolMan with Focused Build and Focused Insights, Cloud ALM and Focused Run, SAP currently offers the best ALM product portfolio for a wide range of needs.
SAP SolMan 7.2 provides further enhancements to the "transport-related checks" theme with SPS9. Fully integrated in SolMan WebClient UI of ChaRM, the theme is a powerful tool for transport quality.

Working on the SAP basis is crucial for successful S/4 conversion. 

This gives the Competence Center strategic importance for existing SAP customers. Regardless of the S/4 Hana operating model, topics such as Automation, Monitoring, Security, Application Lifecycle Management and Data Management the basis for S/4 operations.

For the second time, E3 magazine is organizing a summit for the SAP community in Salzburg to provide comprehensive information on all aspects of S/4 Hana groundwork.
