If ST-OST 100 is installed in your SAP Solution Manager 7.1 system, please download the upgrade package to ST-OST 200 from the Software Distribution Center. The content of this package is required by the Software Update Manager (SUM) during the upgrade process in the ISSELECT phase. Once you provide this package to SUM, the upgrade can continue. 1631352: Corrections for documentation for SAP Solution Manager 7.1: 1584414: Online documentation for SAP Solution Manager 7.1: 1462137: Add. About Upgrading to SAP Solution Manager 7.1.
Some of the pain points during/after Solution Manager 7.1 Upgrade:
1) In pre-processing phase during upgrade, REPACHK2 phase comes which locks the workbench repository and this phase is “late lock” phase. Once, workbench will be locked then you would not be able to do changes in transactionSOLAR01, SOLAR02, STWB_2, RMDEF, and RMAUTH.
Please check SAP note 1685738 for more information.
2) After upgrade to Solution Manager 7.1, there might be issue that early watch reports will not be generated. This is becauseD_SOLM_ACTauthorization object is obsolete and it is replaced with new authorization objectD_SVAS_SES.
This authorization object should be assigned to user used in back RFC to solution manager system in satellite system.
It is highly recommended to review Solution Manager Security Guide to find out all obsolete authorization objects.
3)DSWPt-code is obsolete from solution manager 7.1. As SAP has made work center mandatory from Solution Manager 7.1. So, it is replaced with t-codesolman_workcenter.
4) While you are syncing LMDB with SLD, then you need to make sure that CR Content & CIM Model should fulfill the prerequisite. Please find below the prerequisite of CR Content & CIM Model:
- Required CIM Model version = 1.6.16

5) One of the frequent problems that I faced while doing full sync of LMDB with SLD is that it takes couple of hours to do the complete sync. I found some interesting SAP notes which reduced sync time. Please checkSAP note 1594654 & 1555955.
