SAP Solution Manager 7.2 · Landscape Data: SLD, LMDB & Maintenance Planner

You're tempted to manually edit Software in the LMDB — why is that usually the wrong move?

Because the LMDB is auto-updated by the SLD or a diagnostic/host agent.

Needing a manual edit signals a real problem: outdated SLD content, a managed system not properly registered, or the LMDB not synced with the SLD. Fix the sync first — only edit manually if SAP support directs you to.

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.
