Hello,
Updating the CR content is enough in a Solution Manager 7.1 system, because the LMDB works directly with it.
For a SMSY-based system, you'd also need XMLs with PPMS information for the product versions. They are usually contained in SV-SMSG-SYS notes , you can find them with the keyword PPMS.
IIRC, from the old times of Solution Manager 7.0 EHP1 pre-SP22 , the old SAP GUI interface displayed the target product versions with the PPMS numbers instead of the text names in the case of missing SMSY PPMS information or CR content (or both). So, the fact that the target product version is missing means:
- The target product version is not supported by this SP level of Solution Manager (Netweaver 7.4 upgrade XMLs required a minimum of SP23 , but up to SP26 was archived and so the recommendation was minimum Solution Manager 7.0 EHP1 SP26 in the final year of the 7.0 EHP1 lifecycle)
- The SMSY definition is wrong, and therefore the upgrade path does not allow the choice of the desired target product version.
- Or both
In this case, I am quite sure both things are happening.
Best regards,
Miguel Ariño
