You may need to manually add your SAP systems to the Maintenance Planner in a number of different scenarios. For instance, if your Solman isn't working properly or if high security settings prohibit this. To compute your update stacks for the systems and subsequently patch the systems, you require the most recent system data in the Maintenance Planner.
For ABAP Based Systems:
Step-1: Generate the Stack XML file by using SPAM T-code.
Step-2: SAP Support Portal Home –>Maintenance –> Maintenance Planner –> Access Maintenance Planner –>Explore Systems –> Add system
Double click on the Explore Systems tile
Choose Add System button placed on the top right-hand corner of the view.
An Add System dialog box is displayed with information about adding systems using the automated data replication of SAP Solution Manager.
Read the information and provide your confirmation by selecting the I Accept. checkbox and choose Next.
Upload the system information XML of your choice in the following ways:
Choose the Browse… button to upload any system information XML.
You can proceed further once the system successfully validates the selected system information XML.
Choose Next. The dialog box displays the following system details:
SID: System ID. If required, you can extend the SID.
Host: Database host
Type: Type of system. For example, ABAP, Java, dual.
Choose Next. Select the option why you are adding the system using system information XML and provide the reason.
Choose Upload. The system is added into the maintenance planner tool.
Now the System is successfully added into the MP.
For JAVA Systems:
Download and unpack a new SUM 1.0 instance as described the SUM user guide. To download the guide relevant for your system, go to https://support.sap.com/sltoolset - > System Maintenance -> Software Update Manager <version> -> Guides for for SUM <version>.
Place the file at the location J:\usr\sap\SID and extract the SUM sar file by using sapcar executable.
Navigate to /usr/sap/<SID>/SUM/sdt/param/ on Unix- based or IBM-I OS, or J:\usr\sap\<sapsid>\SUM\sdt\param on Windows, and open the startup.props file for editing.
Create a new line with the following parameter and setting: Scenario=SYS_INFO_EXPORT
For dual-stack systems you also have to add ABAP=false.
Save and close the startup.props file.
Register SUM in the SAP Host Agent using the following command:
For Windows: J:\usr\sap\<sapsid>\SUM\STARTUP.BAT
For UNIX, user root mandatory: /usr/sap/<SID>/SUM/STARTUP <SID>
Start SUM and complete one full run. Depending on the security setup of your system, use the following URL:
https://<hostname>:1129/lmsl/sumjava/<SID>/index.html
Note that the dialog about choosing a stack.xml-based scenario or a manually prepared directory is automatically skipped.
Enter the sidadm user credentials.
Enter the administrator or j2ee_admin credentials.
To acquire the system info XML file, navigate to /usr/sap/<SID>/SUM/sdt/htdoc/SysInfoExport.xml on Unix- based or IBM-I OS or <DRIVE>:\usr\sap\<sapsid>\SUM\sdt\htdoc\SysInfoExport.xml on Windows.
Alternatively, open a browser tab, go to http://<sum-hostname>:1128/lmsl/sumjava/<SID>/SysInfoExport.xml, and copy the information from there.
