Correct Q4 2015, (which has already moved twice now) but I doubt they will even hit that date.

My understanding is it will now run on HANA (maybe other DBs but push is HANA for free) and no more dual stack...so major changes

Hello Chris:

SAP Solution Manager 7.2 entered customer validation in Q1 2015, the current plan is for ramp-up to start in Q4.

SAP HANA will be an option, but other databases will be supported as well. SAP HANA will be included in the usage rights for the platform, so no additional license fees will be necessary. We will be separating the ABAP and Java stacks during the upgrade process, so that we are more in line with the global SAP stack strategy.

We have updated the product roadmap presentation on the SAP Solution Manager homepage (http://support.sap.com/solutionmanager) with this new version:

https://support.sap.com/content/dam/library/SAP%20Support%20Portal/support-programs-services/solution-manager/SAP%20Product%20Roadmap%20SAP%20Solution%20Manager.pdf

The presentation at the /roadmaps site will also be updated as well with similar content.

Hi Shirish,

because SAP Solution Manager 7.2 will be based on SAP CRM 7.03, we just need to look at the release notes of CRM 7.02 + 7.03 to find out which new features will be available in SAP Solution Manager 7.2. Of course there will be a lot of features which are not based on SAP CRM, but expecially SAP Solution Manager IT Service Management and Change Request Management will benefit from the new SAP CRM 7.0 Enhancement Packages 2 and 3.

The SAP Solution Manager Product Roadmap already informs us about some of these features. But however some features will never be mentioned by SAP Product Management because of several reasons.

If you want to get knowledge of all "hidden" CRM Features, you have to review the SAP CRM release notes or my summary:

Kind regards,
Peter

Hi Peter,

Thanks for your information. If you don't mind, do you have the article in English. I tried with Google translate and it's confusing.

Hello, in December SAP is planning to make SAP Solution Manager 7.2 on support package stack 01 available as a free trial solution in the Cloud Applicance Library (CAL), more infomation is at https://cal.sap.com. The system will be build on Linux OS/HANA DB and will allow evaluation of the new solution documentation area. We will provide some sample projects based on our rapid-deployment solutions content, as well as an opportunity for customers to upload their own projects as transports to activate and view in the new UI.

In short, we create a master 7.2 SP01 system, save it as a 'solution' in the CAL solution catalog, and any user with an SCN account can create a CAL account and link an exisiting Amazon Web Services account to provide the infrastructure. You will log into your CAL homepage, select "SAP Solution Manager 7.2", and then the system will be copied to your AWS account segment and be ready in around 1 hour. You can then log onto the system and evaluate the documentation, for a small hourly fee to Amazon.

You are the owner and administrator of the system, you can perform backups and make changes, and use it for training as well. The system can also be suspended when not in use to save costs. It's very flexible and fast, and we estimate that this will be very popular as you can create an evaluation system quickly and cheaply.

Hello Evan,

I just checked out the CAL Solutions under cal.sa.com, but was not able to find anything like Solution Manager 7.2. Was the solution already released, if not when will it be made available?

Hello everyone:

We plan to release SAP Solution Manager 7.2 in the Cloud Applicance Library this month. The appliance is being finalized now. It will be SAP Solution Manager 7.2 SP01 on SAP HANA, with a focus on allowing customers and partners to test-drive the solution documentation activation process and then experience the new solution documentation UI in the 7.2 system. This will be a 90-day trial solution for non-productive use.

In the future additional scenarios will be available and the system can be extended past 90 days with the purchase of a CAL subscription.

Its in Ramp-Up so I doubt anybody can answer that with a firm answer. Release dates on PAM always seem to move for any SAP product.

You can get early access now by applying here... https://influence.sap.com/SAPSolutionManager72
