Manual Data Source Maintenance

Use

You cannot edit all data manually in hosts, databases and systems which were determined automatically. You can set the data source to manual maintenance, to be able to edit all data in this landscape element manually.

You should only set the data source to manual maintenance if the automatically captured description does not match the actual definiton of the landscape component. This can, for example, be the case if a system temporarily has an additional server, which is recognized by the automatic data capture, but should not be in the system description because it is only temporary.

Updating automatically captured data

In the latter case, the last person to change the data which is to be updated receives an express mail. The old data is flagged with an exclamation mark in the Solution Manager system landscape. You can compare the data and copy the current values.

You can display details of the version of SAP products by double-clicking on the product version. They include details of the product components.

Change assignment of a system to a product and product version

After an upgrade of manually created systems which are not updated automatically, you can assign another product or product version to a system, e.g. you change the system product assignment when you upgrade from R/3 4.6C to R/3 Enterprise 4.7.

Automatically determined systems can appear more than once as landscape components, if their components cannot automatically be assigned uniquely to one product, e.g. the automatic data determination cannot decide uniquely whether SAP APO or SAP BW is installed in a system. In this case, the system appears under both SAP APO and SAP BW in the Solution Manager System Landscape. If you want to assign only certain products to a system, flag these products as leading. (5).
