Adding an Independent SAP System

FlexNet Manager Suite ()

This topic is relevant only if you are using FlexNet Manager for SAP Applications in an on-premises implementation. Independent SAP systems are not connected to an SAP Admin module. For information on adding an independent SAP system in a Cloud implementation, see Creating SAP Connections.

  1. To add an independent SAP system:

  3. On the SAP System Landscapes page, double-click the landscape to which you want to add an independent SAP system.

    The System Landscape: name page displays.

  4. Go to the SAP Systems section and click Add.

    The Select system type dialog displays with the SAP option pre-selected.

  5. Click OK.

    The Create New System page displays with the Independent SAP system option pre-selected in the Connectivity section.

  6. Complete as many of the following field as possible with the system information that you have available.

    Required fields are highlighted in yellow.

Field NameDescription
**__System ID__**The unique identifier of the SAP system to which you want to connect.
**__Client ID__**The client ID of the SAP system to which you want to connect.
**__Description__**The description of the SAP system to which you want to connect.
**__System landscape__**The name of the system landscape to which you are adding a system. This information is non-editable.
**__Parent group__**Click the ellipsis button ![](../../../../../imageProc/EllipsisButton.jpg) to assign the system to a parent group.
**__Independent SAP system__**This option which is selected by default \(as detailed in Step 4 above\) indicates that the new system is an independent SAP system.
**__Server name__**The DNS name of the SAP system. This value will be used by the RFC connection. This field can also store the SAP system's IP address.
**__System number__**The SAP system number. This value will be used by the RFC connection.
**__User name__**The user name that is to be used when connecting to the SAP system and making RFC calls.
**__Password__**The password that is to be used when connecting to the SAP system and making RFC calls. **Important:** The password should not contain any backward slashes \(\\\). Otherwise, the connection to the SAP system cannot be established. **Important:** On some configurations, a logon error can occur when connecting an independent SAP system. The issue may affect SAP systems up to SAP Basis release 6.4, but primarily affects systems running SAP Basis 4.6. It is recommended that you test the connection using the **Test connection** button. If the test returns an error saying that the connection to the system was established, but that credentials were incorrect, enter the password in uppercase letters. For more information, see SAP Note 792850.
**__Repeat password__**Re-enter the password.
**__Test Connection__**Click this button to test whether the connection details you entered are correct.
**__First name__**The first name of the owner of the system.
**__Last name__**The last name of the owner of the system.
**__Business phone number__**The business phone number of the owner of the system.
**__Mobile phone number__**The mobile phone number of the owner of the system.
**__Email__**The email address of the owner of the system.
**__Location__**The location of the owner of the system.
**__SAP suite type__**Choose one of: - `Classic Business Suite` - `S/4HANA`.
**__Migration status__**This control is only available when the **SAP suite type** is set to `Classic Business Suite`. You may then choose one of: - `Not planned` - `Planned` - `In progress` - `Completed`.
  1. Click Create to save the information.

The independent SAP system is added to the system landscape, and the SAP System: name page displays the system details as well as the Users list. For information about the Users table, see Displaying the SAP System Users.
