• The SAP Solution Manager is the platform for carrying out the activities that are required for introducing, operating and maintaining an SAP solution throughout its entire life.

• You can find further information about SAP Solution Manager on SAP Service Marketplace under the quick link "solutionmanager". Under the quick link "pam", you can find the Product Availability Matrix with more information about the product "SAP Solution Manager".

• As of May 1st, 2008, SAP Solution Manager 4.0 was officially renamed as SAP Solution Manager 7.0. This pure name change does not affect the release strategy of SAP Solution Manager. The add-on ST therefore remains the same. Note 1161294 provides details about this renaming.

• This note deals with the release strategy of SAP Solution Manager (software component ST) based on SAP Basis Release 6.20 and higher.

• Note 402806 contains information about Add-On ST based on SAP Basis 4.6C and 4.6D.

• The SAP Solution Manager is available as a complete installation in the latest release. The software component ST is already part of this installation. Reinstalling an older release, or upgrading to an older release is not intended, instead we recommend that you reinstall or upgrade to the latest release.

• You can find purchase order information and an installation guide on SAP Service Marketplace at http://service.sap.com/solutionmanager.  Add-On ST can therefore only be used on the CRM and WebAS releases listed in section II.

• Consider the following restrictions regarding updates and maintenance for your SAP system.

• You cannot uninstall software components (in this case, ST) once they are installed.

• You can upgrade only to SAP releases that are supported for this software component (in this case, ST). For an overview of the upgrades supported for ST, refer to section IV.

• Upgrade ST 710 for SAP Solution Manager 7.1

• Note 1462137 (for additional information about the procedure, see Note 1577909)

• The following equivalencies for the leading software component ST are defined for the upgrade from Release 7.0 Enhancement Package 1 (ST 400) to Release 7.1 (ST 710):



	ST 400 (SP Stack)	ST 710 (SP Stack)
	SP 30 (12/2012)	SP 08 (scheduled, not yet available)
	SP 29 (07/2012)	SP 06 (08/2012)
	SP 28 (11/2011)	SP 04 (12/2011)
	SP 27 (06/2011)	SP 02 (07/2011)
	SP 26 (03/2011)	SP 01 (04/2011)
	SP 25 (10/2010)	SP 01 (04/2011)
	SP 24 (06/2010)	"SP 0" (no SP Stack)
	SP 23 (04/2010)	"SP 0" (no SP Stack)

                    Starting from a specific Support Package for ST 400, you can carry out the upgrade only when you include the equivalent Support Package for ST 710. The table above lists the equivalent Support Package of the higher Release ST 710, which is the minimum Support Package that must be included in the upgrade. You cannot upgrade the source release to a Support Package that is lower than this equivalent Support Package for the target release.

• Upgrade ST 400 for SAP Solution Manager 7.0 Enhancement Package 1

• Note 1169247

• After the end of maintenance for SAP Solution Manager 3.1 on December 31, 2006, we recommend that you upgrade this release to SAP Solution Manager 7.0.

Corrections for software component ST

• For the software component ST, maintenance is carried out using Support Packages. You can find information about individual errors and how to fix them in SAP Notes.

• There is no extended maintenance for SAP Solution Manager. You can find information about the maintenance strategy in the SAP Service Marketplace under the quick link "pam" (search term "SAP Solution Manager").

• Support Packages for ST are available in the Software Distribution Center on SAP Service Marketplace: http://service.sap.com/patches -> Entry by Application Group -> SAP Technology Components -> SAP SOLUTION MANAGER

• You can check the availability of the Support Packages on SAP Service Marketplace at: http://service.sap.com/ocs-schedules -> SAP Solution Manager

• The Support Packages for individual components were combined into Support Package Stacks for the SAP Solution Manager, and you can find these on SAP Service Marketplace: http://service.sap.com/sp-stacks -> SAP Solution Manager. Not every Support Package for the software component ST had its own stack for SAP Solution Manager 7.0 and lower.

• With regard to the Support Packages, we recommend assigning Support Packages from one Support Package Stack to the following stack, and importing all Support Packages that belong to a Support Package Stack at the same time.

• Note 1595736 provides an overview of current Release Information Notes for the SAP Solution Manager.

Dependencies between Support Packages

• In general, Support Packages of the ST software component require certain SAP_BASIS and SAP_ABA or BBPCRM Support Packages.

• SAP Solution Manager 7.1: Support Packages for the software components SAP_BASIS 702 and BBPCRM 701 can only be imported together with a Support Package for ST 710, which then represents a Conflict Resolution Transport (CRT). This means that Support Packages that have already been released for these software components (SAP_BASIS, BBPCRM) can be imported only if a suitable Support Package for ST 710 has been released. There is a gap between the releases of the individual Support Packages. This problem does not affect you if you import complete Support Package Stacks.



ST 710	SAP_BASIS 702	BBPCRM 701
"SP 0"	SP 04 (SAPKB70204)	SP 01 (SAPKU70101)
SP 1 (SAPKITL701)	SP 06 (SAPKB70206)	SP 03 (SAPKU70103)
SP 2 (SAPKITL702)	SP 07 (SAPKB70207)	SP 04 (SAPKU70104)
SP 3 (SAPKITL703)	SP 08 (SAPKB70208)	SP 05 (SAPKU70105)
SP 4 (SAPKITL704)	SP 09 (SAPKB70209)	SP 06 (SAPKU70106)
SP 5 (SAPKITL705)	SP 10 (SAPKB70210)	SP 07 (SAPKU70107)
SP 6 (SAPKITL706)	SP 11 (SAPKB70211)	SP 08 (SAPKU70108)
SP 7 (SAPKITL707)	SP 11 (SAPKB70211)	SP 08 (SAPKU70108)

           (Examples: You cannot import Support Package 05 of SAP_BASIS 702 without importing Support Package 6 of SAP_BASIS, Support Package 1 of ST, and Support Package 3 of BBPCRM at the same time. You cannot import Support Package 7 of SAP_BASIS 702 without importing Support Package 2 of ST and Support Package 4 of BBPCRM at the same time.)

• SAP Solution Manager 7.0 Enhancement Package 1: Support Packages for the software components SAP_BASIS 701 and BBPCRM 500 can only be imported together with a Support Package for ST 400, which then represents a Conflict Resolution Transport (CRT). This means that you can import only Support Packages for these software components (SAP_BASIS, BBPCRM) that have already been released if a suitable Support Package for ST 400 has been released. There is a gap between the releases of the individual Support Packages. This problem does not affect you if you import complete Support Package Stacks.



ST 400	SAP_BASIS 701	BBPCRM 500
SP 18 (SAPKITL428)	SP 02 (SAPKB70102)	SP 12 (SAPKU50012)

SP 29 (SAPKITL439)	SP 11 (SAPKB70111)	SP 20 (SAPKU50020)
SP 30 (SAPKITL440)	SP 12 (SAPKB70112)	SP 21 (SAPKU50021)

           (For example: You cannot import Support Package 8 of SAP_BASIS 701 without importing Support Package 27 of ST and Support Package 18 of BBPCRM at the same time.)

           In addition to these recurring dependencies, specific Support Packages may have further dependencies.

• SAP Solution Manager 7.0: Support Packages for the software components SAP_BASIS 700 and BBPCRM 500 can only be imported together with a Support Package for ST 400, which then displays a Conflict Resolution Transport (CRT). This means that you can import only Support Packages for these software components (SAP_BASIS, BBPCRM) that have already been released if a suitable Support Package for ST 400 has been released. There is a gap between the releases of the individual Support Packages. This problem does not affect you if you import complete Support Package Stacks.

           Each column of the following table contains the technical names of the previous Support Packages. The import conditions of these Support Packages must be met by importing all of these or by all of these existing in the system:

           (For example: You cannot import Support Package 14 from SAP_BASIS 700 without importing Support Package 15 from ST 400 at the same time.)

           In addition to these recurring dependencies, specific Support Packages may have further dependencies.

• SAP Solution Manager 3.2 and 3.1: Support Packages for BBPCRM 310 can only be imported with a Support Package for ST-SUP 320 or ST-SUP 310 (CRT, see also Note 619054).

• SAP Solution Manager 3.2 and below: You can import Support Packages for SAP_BASIS and SAP_ABA without the corresponding ST Support Packages. Nonetheless, we recommend that you only import the Support Packages from a stack or a Support Package collection at once.

The following is a list of the current Support Packages for all software components from the ABAP stack of the various releases of the SAP Solution Manager, for your reference.

• SAP Solution Manager 7.0 Enhancement Package 1
