Why to invest in landscape data?

Landscape data is the basis for all processes in application lifecycle managem

Checks of landscape data are increasing

Landscape entities are…

Product systems

Logical components

Technical scenarios

Also, diagnostic relevance flag needs to be set

Landscape data is based on technical system information and created in the SAP So

During the exercises, you will create all these entities for 3 technical systems being c

to each other to ensure correct handling during maintenance.

Product systems describe the

installation of one product v ers ion:

Product systems ensure Product versions on a technical system are

described correctly

If a Product version is installed on more than 1

technical systems all these are addressed

during updates and upgrades automatically

Product instances

group software components (SCs), which need

to be handled to maintain a product

All SCs on a technical system need to be

covered by selected product instances

Product systems can have different

landscape patterns:

1 technical system (see PS AB3)

2 technical systems in a sidecar (see PS ER9)

More than 2 technical systems in a hub(shown later)
