SAP Solution Manager 7.2 New solution concept

Planned

Innovations

The Solution is the sum of a company’s

systems and processes. It acts as a container

for versions of solution documentation, one of

which is the production version.

System

– Logical Component Groups are groups of Logical

Components. Logical components point to actual technical

systems.

Process

– A process executes functions in systems to achieve a

business goal.

Version

– Each solution documentation version is a branch.
