Hey Everybody, I’m trying my hardest to simply change the instance number on my ERP 6.0 system (I’ll talk more about that in another post), but one of the things I tried was doing a system copy (unfortunately that also is causing me headaches), but it reminded me of another little tip. How do you get the system key from solution manager. Obviously, step one is to have solution manager, or access to someone else that does (a solution manager system key doesn’t need to be connected to your system. You can call up any Basis friend, give them a little info and get a key that will work).
Now, on with the show:
After executing T-code SMSY in Solution Manager system, you need to do the following steps:
Create a system by right clicking on System entry and select Create new system.
Enter the System Name i.e., SID (3 chars)
Product = SAP ECC (select from the list)
Product Version= ECC 5.0 (select from the list)
Save the entries.
Select Menu Item “System—>Other Configuration” and enter the SID which you have created earlier.
Enter the Server Name(hostname)
Finally click on Generate “Installation/Upgrade Key Button ”
The system generates a system Key ,copy that system Key and paste it in the SAPINST screen when it prompts for Sol man Key.
That’s it. Pretty easy, but still required…
Have a great new years eve, and remember as the new budget cycle opens up, if you need help with anything, or have use for one of our SAP Easy Button’s please let us know.
Thanks,
