Initial set up of landscape data in Maintenance

Planner:

1. Data is sent to the System Landscape Directory (SLD).

2. Data from SLD is synchronized with the Landscape

Management Database (LMDB).

3. Data from LMDB is uploaded to customer profile in SAP

Support Portal. Once available in customer landscape

data is used by the maintenance planner for all planning

activities.

Access Maintenance Planner with URL: https://apps.support.sap.com/sap/support/mp.

Log in with your S-user, to access system assigned to your S-user.

Ensure landscape data is uploaded to SAP Support Portal via LMDB of SAP Solution Manager.

SAP Solution Manager 7.1 and Maintenance Planner

You can immediately start benefitting from advanced

planning features offered in Maintenance Planner

All landscape entities stay valid e.g. dependencies

created using product systems will automatically reflect

as maintenance dependencies in Maintenance Planner

If you're using the Scope & Effort Analyzer (SEA),

MOpz transactions are still needed

If you're using Change Request Mgmt. (ChaRM),

product systems are still needed for logical
