Hi,

Solution manager could be used in SAP readiness Check 1.0 only . From SRC 2.0, Solution manager can't be used for readiness check.

Also, version interoperability and dependency checks are vital part of planning as not many have mere ERP systems in the landscape.

Hi Arvind Taneja,

Nice Blog..

Thank you
