Adding a Dependent SAP System

Before you can add dependent SAP systems, you must have added the SAP Admin module that these dependent SAP systems connect to. For more information, see Adding an SAP Admin Module System.

Go to the SAP System Landscapes page to add dependent SAP systems that are connected to an SAP Admin module system to the system landscape. Dependent SAP systems can be CUA systems or non-CUA systems.

This topic is relevant only if you are using FlexNet Manager for SAP Applications in an on-premises implementation. For adding a dependent SAP system, see Creating SAP Connections.

To add a dependent SAP system, you initially create an independent SAP system that you add to an SAP Admin module. When you add this system to an SAP Admin module, the system becomes a dependent SAP system.

You can also use this procedure to change an independent SAP system into a dependent SAP system.

To add a dependent SAP system to an SAP Admin module:
