SAP’s Announcement on Service Marketplace
Maintenance Optimizer (M.O.) has been required for more than a year now.
“All corrective software packages, including Support Packages (Stacks) for SAP NetWeaver 2004s and subsequent versions, as well as all applications which are based on this software, will be available exclusively through the Maintenance Optimizer in SAP Solution Manager as of April 2, 2007.”
![Page 5: Configuring Using MaintenanceOptimizer](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062614/546f3be8b4af9f1b238b468a/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

Improvements Provided by M.O.
Maintenance Optimizer provides the following benefits:
An end-to-end process for maintaining all your SAP landscapes.
Centralized place for planning and implementing all maintenance-related activities.
Greater automation and transparency of operations processes to increase efficiency of the operations team and reduce costs.
ITIL-compliant standardized and streamlined support processes that facilitate preparation for Enterprise Service Oriented Architecture.

Support Package Considerations
The core Maintenance Optimizer functionality is contained in ST (SAP Solution Manager Tool) Support Package (SP) 9 - SAPKITL419
However, subsequent SP stacks have delivered more robust functionality that streamlines and simplifies the process of configuring M.O.
![Page 13: Configuring Using MaintenanceOptimizer](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062614/546f3be8b4af9f1b238b468a/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

The Legacy Method
Corrective software released before April 2, 2007 can still be downloaded from the Service Marketplace without the Maintenance Optimizer and without assistance from SAP’s Active Global Support team.

Recommendations
First ensure that your Solution Manager system – and the other systems in your SAP environment – have the latest versions of the following: Support Package Stacks (15 now, 16 coming in
June) Service Tools SPAM SAINT SAP Download Manager
Read OSS Note 662441 – Solution Manager: SAP Notes for Support Packages
![Page 18: Configuring Using MaintenanceOptimizer](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062614/546f3be8b4af9f1b238b468a/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
[

Tips to Prevent Timeouts
Ensure that the dynamic parameter rdisp/max_wprun_time at least 3600. Otherwise, your SPAM or SAINT import process may time out.
Also make sure you have the latest version of SPAM. Click on the “Info” link for each support package in the “Download” area in Service Marketplace to see which SPAM patch level is required. Here you will also see other dependencies such as possible kernel patch levels, etc.

A Sure Sign That Something is Missing
Initially, until you apply all the required support packages and Notes, trying to configure the Maintenance Optimizer via SPRO will generate the following error: DBIF_RSQL_INVALID_REQUEST
GOTCHA!

What to Do If You Want Service Pack Stack 15 Before You Set up M.O.?
If urgently required, you can create a customer message in SAP Service Marketplace and request that SAP release the required items from your download basket!
Select component SV-SMG-MAI-APR for this type of message

M.O. Configuration Recommendations
Always prepare your system with the latest available Support Package stacks, service tools, SPAM, SAINT, and Download Manager to streamline your setup
The latest available installation kit for Solution Managerr 7.0, SR3, includes Support Package Stack 12
Additional features (e.g., M.O. setup via wizard) are delivered in SP Stacks 13 and 15.
Personal recommendation Before starting, put SP Stack 13-15 in your
download basket and open a customer message to request its release Remember to open the message in component
SV-SMG-MAI-APR!

An Important Consideration
If you’ve got Java stacks in your SAP environment, you want at least SP Stack 13, because this delivers CTS+ (for both ABAP and Java support packages)

Before you can use M.O. with your solution, you must define users in your organization who are authorized to do so.
Requirements A valid S-Number in the SAP Service
Marketplace. Download authorization.
Note: M.O. users can now be defined through the IMG.

Define Service Marketplace Users
See the following Notes about S-Users: 1082010 1140822 1112983
Use S-Numbers, without the initial “S000,” for the Contact Person column entries
Truncate users’ S--Numbers

Define Service Marketplace Users
Tip: Always log on to the SAP Support Portal with the same S-User assigned to your Solution Manager user.
If you don’t, M.O. won’t be able to confirm and approve any files you place in that S-User’s Download Basket!

What Lies Ahead for the Maintenance Optimizer?
Q: With the Maintenance Optimizer now required for current NetWeaver corrective software, will the SAP Download Manager ever go away?
A: Although SAP often embeds the functions of standalone products into core products, the current architecture in 4.0 continues to rely on the familiar SAP Service Marketplace and the SAP Download Manager.

7 Key Points to Take Home
SAP requires Maintenance Optimizer for “all corrective software . . . as of April 2, 2007.”
M.O. is an ITIL-compliant centralized tool to facilitate technical support in distributed systems.
Configuration is much simpler on SP 15 than on SP 9.
Once configured, M.O. is easy to use. M.O. process includes familiar SAP Service
Marketplace and Download Basket steps. M.O. is not used to download kernel upgrades. You can still download support package stacks, etc.,
without M.O., but it requires intervention by SAP.
