SAP Solution Manager 7.2 · Baseline Configuration & SOLMAN_SETUP

When is a separate TREX installation required for SAP Solution Manager, and when can it be skipped?

TREX powers search for Solution Documentation, ChaRM, and ITSM. Without it, business-process modeling tools (executable-library / process-step-library lookups) effectively don't work — so it is functionally mandatory in most deployments.

Exception: if Solution Manager runs on SAP HANA, you don't need a separate TREX installation — HANA's built-in search capability replaces it.

This is one card from the KnowCard library. The full way to learn it — spaced-repetition review, progress tracking, and AI explanations — lives in the KnowCard app. We’re in private beta now; iOS & Android are coming soon.
