Configuration Wizard

Use

Once you have installed an SAP NetWeaver system and applied the latest kernel and
Support Packages, the Configuration Wizard supports you in performing configuration tasks
in an automated way and thus simplifies the setup of your systems. It guides you through
the configuration process and offers a uniform user interface for all steps. It enables you to
execute configuration tasks across multiple components.

You can run the configuration wizard only once and only directly after
installing and patching your SAP system.
You cannot use the configuration wizard after:
Upgrade
Add-In installation
Enabling additional usage types
In these cases, you need to manually perform the corresponding
configuration steps. This does not apply to connectivity configuration
templates or the configuration task for BI Java. You can run them
several times and after all use cases.
For more information about manual configuration steps, connectivity
configuration templates, and BI Java configuration, see Wizard-Based
Configuration.

Prerequisites
You have applied the latest kernel and all ABAP and Java Support Packages to your
system. For more information, see Applying the Latest Kernel and Support Packages in the
installation guide of your product at http://service.sap.com/instguides.

You can find the latest LMTOOLS patch at http://service.sap.com/swdc

Support Packages and Patches Search for Support Packages and
Patches. Search for LMTOOLS*P. Download and save the sca file. Apply the
patch using the SDM.
