As you all know removing a managed system from Solution Manager can be a tedious time consuming process. With SP11, SAP has provided a guided procedure for removing (decommissioning) a system from Solution Manager 7.1. The steps below show you how to access the guided procedure and high level preview of the steps provided.

SAP also added steps for decommissioning in the latest Solution Manager 7.1 SP11 Operations guide. You will need access to the SAP support Portal to access the document.

Hi,

very good approach, this is actually the first time someone talks about ending a life cycle 🙂

One remark: You have linked the security guide and not the operations guide

Hello Jereme,

Cool...... with screen shot makes it easy to understand......

One more link for the same:

Delete_Managed_System - SAP Solution Manager Setup - SCN Wiki

However do any one have idea how would we delete only one system from the managed system, rather than complete setup.


for example in the below screen shot, in case I want to delete setup of TBI, TBW or TCO, how would we proceed

HI Haseena,

Following the guided procedure will remove the entries from Managed System Configuration. Is that what you would like to do?

If you want to just remove the system from the list and you dont care about the rest of the data and configuration. Delete the system from the SLD and then the LMDB. In about 5 minutes the system should gone from the list in Managed system configuration. Though I would recommend removing any configuration you completed for the managed system. Also if the managed system is still running, make sure you remove configuration in transaction RZ70, if you don't it will reappear the next time the job runs.

Hope that helps!

Hi Birai,

 

Reza's comment is correct. With Solution Manager 7.1 SP11 or 12 SAP moved the guided procedure to  Solman_setup -> Managed Systems Management ->Advanced Option -> decommissioning
