what is SOLUTION MANAGER?

Answer Posted / sureshgav07

An SAP Solution Manager is a standalone installation of SAP Web Application Server, providing central functions to the SAP landscape It is integral in new SAP landscapes, optional in old ones and now mandatory to receive full Earlywatch Support from SAP for some products.

There are 5 main components within SAP Solution manager, Implementation, Solution Monitoring, Operations, Support Area and Upgrade. The ones most relevant from a BASIS point of view are Solution Monitoring and Operations and these are discussed below.

Solution Monitoring:-
SAP Netweaver "Unifies and aligns people, information and business processes, integrates across technologies and organizational boundaries and is a safe choice with full .NET and J2EE interoperability" - But what does this really mean?

SAP Solution Manager:-
The central monitoring available within SAP Solution Manager extends the features available within the Standard CCMS central monitors for the ABAP stack to fully support the JAVA stack using Solution Manager Diagnostics. Solution Manager Diagnostics is built into SAP Solution Manager 4 and is the only way permitted by SAP to fully support a SAP Standalone J2EE server, used for SAP Enterprise Portal and SAP XI (See SAP Note 829218). Through Solution Manager, it is now possible to run Earlywatch Alert reports against an SAP J2EE Netweaver Application server, as well a traditional ABAP based Application Servers.

Operations:-
This section of SAP Solution Manager concerns the services SAP provide to improve the operation of your SAP system. The main ones utilised are the SAP Earlywatch Health Check and the SAP Earlywatch Alert reports. These are both included in the regular maintenance agreement with SAP and should be taken advantage of. The Earlywatch Alert report provides great benchmarks for system performance as it is standard and automated, freeing up your own team to deliver more proactive monitoring. The Earlywatch Health check provides advice on changes to make to your system and is effectively free consultancy.

I need to change the Company address parameters of a user. The path is SU01 -> -> Change - > Address Tab - > Display Icon in Company Address section. In the new screen, i see a preview section icon; on clicking which, I can change the parameters such as "Sending Country"; "Street/PO Box number" and number of lines in the resulting pop up. Here though i change the parameter "Street/PO Box number" field to 'S' ( Street has priority over PO Box), its changing again to 'P' (PO Box has priority over street) only. In the help section it is written that if we set the user parameter (tcode SU3) LND1 to the desired country we can control the user specific Sending Country with the desired value else it takes the Sending Country of the Company defined by default. But no such parameter has been given for Street/PO Box number so that we could change its value atleast there. Someone suggest me how to change the Street/PO Box number of the Address format for a user to the desired value.
