SAP Solution Manager 7.2 requires the installation of two separate SAP systems, one based on AS ABAP, one based on AS Java.
The AS Java-based SAP system, as part of the SAP Solution Manager 7.2, will use the SID SMJ.
SMJ will be based on Microsoft Windows operating system and on the database SAP MaxDB.
What you will do in this training (SMJ)
You might wonder why we cover so many installation and patch variants. The answer is that each installation type (AS ABAP, AS Java) differs from the other. In addition, in this course, we use the "Custom" installation mode because it is more complex ("Typical" asks fewer input questions). For updating AS ABAP-based SAP systems in this training, you will work with SUM with two different scenarios, which are Standard and Single System, in both cases you will use the Expert Mode option. The update of AS Java-based systems using SUM does not use those categories and works completely differently.
Also we would like to point out similarities and differences in installation procedures for different operating systems (Windows, Linux) and databases (SAP HANA DB and SAP MaxDB).
The installation tool (SWPM/SAPinst) and the update tool (SUM/SAPup) will be used in different versions/releases, as required by the specific installation procedures.
The different procedures allow for studying different error situations that you might encounter during your work. Covering so many different tasks and situations prepare you as best as possible for tasks like installation preparation, installing SAP systems and patching SAP systems.
It is worth highlighting that you will earn first-hand installation experience with regard to SAP HANA DB and SAP S/4HANA Server.
