Solution Manager 7.1 (SP4)– Initial SetupAssumptions:

- All required support packages and add-on installations have been installed (SOCO)- SP 3- You may have tried to perform solman_setup in SP1 and upgraded to SP4- No SLDs.

Pre-work (for SLD – last part) – required only if you copied client 001 to another client (e.g. client 100) and you wanted to use that client as your productive client. Do this in your new client:

- Create user CTC_NULL with password CTC_NULL- You may need to create SLD_CS_USER, provide any password.- Change user type of SLDDSUSER and SLDAPIUSER from dialog to service (not

required but may be useful)- Add roles to your user (if you are not using solman_admin) – same roles as

solman_admin- Go to http://hostname:5<sys_number>00/useradmin -> configuration -> ABAP

system -> change client number 001 to your productive client- Go to configtool, change ume from 001 to 100 (you can use find then type 001 and

change the configuration from 001 to 100).

Skip Step:- Prepare Outside Discovery – will pursue this configuration on a later date.

Steps:1. Login to Solution Manager

2. Go to transaction solman_setup

3. Wait for a few seconds/minutes, until your browser will open. You will see the below screen in your browser. (if you have previously run this with SP1 you will see the below screens – step 4 onwards)

NOTE: If you have previously run this SP1, SOLMAN_ADMIN and SOLMAN_BTC will have missing roles, you will need to create/update the users (go to step 9 to add roles to SOLMAN_ADMIN and SOLMAN_BTC users).

7. Once you clicked “Create all users”, logs will be shown.

8. After creating the users, click next. (you can also change back to read only mode)
