Logical Component in Solution Manager

Definition

A logical component is an administrative entity which assigns logical systems, in the entire system landscape and across projects, to the following:

● a main instance of a product with a product version, e.g. the main instance CRM Server of the product SAP CRM with the product version 4.0.

● the system roles or phases in a project, e.g. the system role development system for the configuration.

Use

You use logical components to uniquely identify the component systems:

● In the project for Business Blueprint, Configuration, Testing, Customizing Distribution

You use logical components in the Business Blueprint, even if you have not yet setup systems. These logical components are place holders for the systems later.

● During operation of your solution in Monitoring for systems and business processes

● In Change Request Management.

You can change the logical systems in a logical component centrally, e.g. if your test systems change, or when upgrading a logical system. You can reuse logical components, e.g. in several projects, or in operational processing, after an implementation project.

Structure

The logical systems in a logical component are usually connected by transport paths.
