Why I need SAP Solution Manager

[#1]

Hello,

I am hoping someone can answer this question for me precisely.

We are new to SAP and considering to implement the functionality of SAP Solution Manager much later.

However, I want to ask what are the mandatory functionality that we must implement in our landscape aside the fact that we need to generate solution manager key with it.

Thank you.

Hello Jhon,

Solution manager is the tool that offer SAP for allow you to manage and control all your IT infrastructure, as a SAP license customer Standard or Enerprisse you are allowed to download and install SAP Solution Manager without any additional cost, Solution Manager is bases under Usage Rights as indicate Tom Celler

The real mandatory options for use your Own Solution Manager are MOPZ like Samuli indicates before, and if your are in COE ( http://service.sap.com/coe ) you will need it as a coe requisite.

Another not mandatory options but really interesting ones are that, with SAP Solution Manager you will be able to get access to tools/scenarios that usually customers buy a third party software for that, like Incident Management, Technical Monitoring, Change Request Management, etc...
