[Former Member]

Hi

Best regards.

Based on support stack info - Schedules for maintenance deliveries (Support Packages and Support Package Stacks) | SAP Support Por...

SP3 is to be released in August (week 31) I believe SP3 will be the GA release version.

But you can get it now with SP2 if you join early adopter care program (aka ramp-up)

hi there,

Ramp up is now only available for those that are also implementing S/4Hana it would seem. Fingers crossed no more slippage for GA.

Hi

Any update on the final date of general availability? SAP presentations made a lot of emphasis in being available after H1 of 2016

Hello, the plan is to release SAP Solution Manager 7.2 SP03 to all customers in mid-August, but we cannot guarantee this date, as much depends on the feedback from customers in the Early Adopter Care (Ramp-Up) program. In the meantime, I recommend checking out the SAP Solution Manager 7.2 SP02 with S/4HANA Best Practice content available in the SAP Cloud Appliance Library (http://cal.sap.com). This system also contains a sample project plan that was downloaded from the Roadmap Viewer (https://roadmapviewer-supportportal.dispatcher.hana.ondemand.com//#)

SolMan 7.2 SP3 is now available

[Wallace]

For Ramp-Up?  Or GA?

[christoph_schrimpf88]

Released for end user.

You can find the SolMan 7.2  in maintenance planner since this morning.

GREAT!!!  Thanks!

Hi Christoph,

Sorry for question, is this Solman 7.2 for any database? or we need to migrated to HANA eventually to use it for Production environment.

Also Do you  have any wiki or scn where we can ask further more related with upgrade to Solman 7.2 including migration HANA or some information like to confirm is it true HANA for SOLMAN 7.2 is free?

Thanks a lot.

Regards,

Achmad

[christoph_schrimpf88]

Try this SCN entry. Very interessting - but just for first Installation - no upgrade.

http://scn.sap.com/community/it-management/alm/solution-manager/blog/2016/02/16/solution-manager-72-...

And yes, Solution Manager 7.2 is anyDB. You can Oracle, MSSQL, HANA and so on.

And as I know, there is a free license for HANA DB usage.

-> Look at SAP Solution Manager Roadmap - slide 20

Hello,

I can indeed see the SAP Solution MAnager 7.2 binaries now, but I have two questions :

Regarding the Support package equivalence of SAP Solution MAnager 7.2 SR1 : those binaires have been uploaded on May 2016 . Is it Solman 7.2 SP3 ...

Regarding Willy Introspcope Manager, I went through some sap notes and it appears that Willy Introscope Manager 10.1 is not yet visible on the sap support portal

Do you know when , it would be released ?

Thanks

Raoul

[christoph_schrimpf88]

Sorry, I´m not aware of this

[adimyati]

Based on note 2285189, it should be there.

Please ask SAP to provide the access.

[Former Member]

Hi has Solution Manager 7.2 for hana been released yet for a new install for customers ?

I can't find the hana DVDs yet on the SMP

Regards

James

[christoph_schrimpf88]

Hi James,

You can check this with the maintenance planner.

When you have created the XML file for SWPM/SUM the download basket in SMP will be filled automaticly. I think the related DVDs will be downloaded, too... I didn´t check this.

Be aware of the dual stack split.

[estoddard]

Hi, I checked the SWDC and I do see Wily 10.1 is available for download as described in the SAP Note 2285189. If you still cannot access the download, please open a customer message.

[Muadib]

Hello ,

Thanks for your answer ... but I just checked again, and it is not here

As per SAP note 2285189, Willy Introscope MAnager 10.1 and Willy Introscope MAnagement Modules should be available.

Currrently ,only Willy introscope Module is available :

Is there anyone else who could confim or deny by using his S-user account ?

Thank  you

[nomad]

You are correct I do not see MANAGER out there yet.....

Good old SAP - ha!

[Muadib]

Thanks for the confirmation !

[patelyogesh]

Hello Raoul,

did you install SolMan 72 SR1? If yes what version of ST component you got SP02 or SP03?

Thanks in advance.

Best Regards,

Mike

[Muadib]

Hello Mike,

I installed the  SOL 7.2 version as illustrated in the screenshot : 7.2 SR1

Unfortunaly, it turned out to be the SP02 version, lot of stuff not working.

I am in the process of patching the abap and java systems to SP03.

Regards

[patelyogesh]

Hello Raoul,

This is product bug and I have high priority message open with SAP from last 2 and haf week and their development team working to fix this issue.

If you try to upgrade your solution manager 7.2 SR 1 to SPS03 through maintanance optimizer its not picking correct upgrade stack files.

Regards,

Yogesh

[Muadib]

Hello Yogesh,

Actually, I used the  Maintenance Planner to generate the XML file ...as far as I understand it , the days of the MOPZ are definitely gone with SOL 7.2. (And it is a good news , always  throwing errors, or generating inconsitent queus, files)

I just finished updating abap and java systems to SP03.

It went fine.

Thanks and Regards

[patelyogesh]

Can you post screenshots of you ABAP and JAVA stacks versions here so I can take a look in to it.

Thanks in advance

Yogesh

[Muadib]

Hello Yogesh,

It turns out that after upgrading though MAintenance planner to SAP Solution Manager 7.2 SPS03 ... I was still on SAP Solution Manager 7.2 SPS02 !

For some weird reasons, most of the Support Packages are not being picked up by the MAintenanced planner, even though there are no errors or discrepencies in system replication ...

Are you running into the same issue ?

Thanks

[Former Member]

Hi Raoul,

Did you select SAP_UI 750 during stack generation. SPS03 is based on SAP_UI 750 and it has to be selected manually (as described in stack 03 note). If you do not select SAP_UI then queue calculation can go wrong which turns out as not calculating or removing the stack files from final calculated queue.

PS: It would be much better to create a new thread of your own than posting all issues in 1 thread which is already closed or marked as answer.

Gaurav

Gaurav answerd it well...
