Solution Manager 7.

1 (SP4) Initial Setup

Assumptions:
- All required support packages and add-on installations have been
installed (SOCO)
- SP 3
- You may have tried to perform solman_setup in SP1 and upgraded to
SP4
- No SLDs.
Pre-work (for SLD last part) required only if you copied client
001 to another client (e.g. client 100) and you wanted to use that
client as your productive client.
Do this in your new client:
- Create user CTC_NULL with password CTC_NULL
- You may need to create SLD_CS_USER, provide any password.
- Change user type of SLDDSUSER and SLDAPIUSER from dialog to
service (not required but may be useful)
- Add roles to your user (if you are not using solman_admin) same
roles as solman_admin
- Go to http://hostname:5<sys_number>00/useradmin ->
configuration -> ABAP system -> change client number 001 to your
productive client
- Go to configtool, change ume from 001 to 100 (you can use find
then type 001 and change the configuration from 001 to 100).
Skip Step:
- Prepare Outside Discovery will pursue this configuration on a later
date.
