SAP Solution Manager 7.2 · Managing Systems: Managed System Config & EWA

Why can't SolMan fully manage an old R/3 or ECC 5.0 system, and what can it still do for it?

SolMan only connects systems within standard support (as defined by the PAM).

Systems on NetWeaver 6.40 or lower can only generate EWA alerts and route a diagnostics agent to SAP Support — no other SolMan component functions for them.

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.
