SAP Solution Manager 7.1 relies on the system information in the Solution Landscape Directory (SLD) and in its landscape management database (LMDB). SAP Router 7.20 does not provide an automatic registration to SLD. The SAP Router has to be created manually in the Technical System Editor in the SAP Solution Manager. With the Technical System Editor, you can manually create, change, and delete technical systems in the LMDB.

To create the system in SAP Solution Manager:

1. In the SAP Solution Manager Configuration (transaction SOLMAN_SETUP), choose Managed Systems Configuration > Technical Systems > System Operations > Create System.
2. Select a system Type from the input help in the new popup window.
3. Define system data like System Name and the Host Name there the system is installed
4. Assign a unique system identifier Extended System ID.
5. Save your creation.
6. Specify additional system properties like the Installation Path.
7. Add “SAPROUTER 7.20” as Software Component Versions.

2.1 Select System type

Select “Unspecific Standalone Application System” as the system type.

2.2 Define System

Specify the main system properties in the “Define System” step.

• Assign a system name – a unique identifier of the new system in the LMDB.
• Select the “Others” as the technology type for the system.
• Specify the host name of the managed system on which SAP Router is running.

2.3 Define Extended SID

Specify an appropriate extended system ID and choose next.

An extended system ID is a system-type specific identifier of eight characters that is unique in the SAP Solution Manager. An extended system ID value is automatically proposed so you can accept it.
