Check your RFC user authorizations
Ideally, you should be able to use your previously created RFC users that were already in place with the former LAW version. However, as we all know, we don’t live in an ideal world. Whether adaptations are needed – or if they aren’t, is always dependent on how the RFC users were set up previously. In our experience, you should focus some effort in this area together with your SAP Basis Team. This is why it’s important to set up a meeting with them when connecting your LAW 2.0.
LAW 2.0 tips and tricks
As with all new software, there are always a few wrinkles in the beginning that need to be ironed out, so keep this in mind as you work your way through LAW 2.0. For example, some tables within the LAW 2.0 only accept your changes when you use your “enter” key on the keyboard, while others only refresh when you explicitly click “refresh” – even though the table looks like it would just refresh on their own. Even stranger, sometimes even that work around doesn’t help to get an updated status. But once you view details of the entry, you can see the new status you were waiting on. So if you find yourself stuck on a certain step, just try some of the tricks mentioned above!
Plan ahead for a smooth transition
SAP has rolled out the new LAW slowly, so although it’s important that you bring your systems up to date. Avoid rushing into the transition.
Don’t panic! Plan ahead to give your team adequate time for the changes in order to maintain SAP license optimization and compliance. Doing so will help you be prepared as you move to LAW 2.0. To get ahead of the obstacles that a new software always brings to inexperienced users, consider learning them in a test instance at first so that you don’t need to wait for the long planned update of the central productive Solution Manager system. This way you’ll start new version like a pro once the update is finished!
