Transitioning from Onapsis to the Cybersecurity Extension for SAP requires a strategic approach to SAP Solution Manager configuration. This guide outlines the infrastructure preparation steps necessary to ensure your platform is ready for the switch, allowing you to decommission Onapsis consoles, sensors, and addons securely.
Why transition to the Cybersecurity Extension for SAP?
The Cybersecurity Extension for SAP serves as a robust alternative to Onapsis for managing SAP vulnerability assessments, threat detection, and custom code security. Unlike Onapsis, this solution is an addon for SAP Solution Manager, a platform already widely used by over 12,000 SAP customers for application lifecycle management. Because usage rights for Solution Manager are included in standard SAP support, this transition leverages your existing infrastructure rather than relying on external, third-party consoles and sensors.
How do you prepare your infrastructure for the transition?
To prepare for the transition, you must complete the “Infrastructure Preparation” phase within the SAP Solution Manager Mandatory Configuration.
- Execute transaction
SOLMAN_SETUPor navigate to the “SAP Solution Manager Configuration – Configuration (All Scenarios)” work center. - Select “Infrastructure Preparation” located under the “Cross Scenario Configuration – Mandatory Configuration” section.
- Verify that the status of all steps in the Infrastructure Preparation is green (completed).
- For any steps marked red or yellow, follow the provided guided procedures to resolve the incomplete items.
Please note that the installation of ISAGENT for Wiley Introscope and CA Introscope is not required for this process. Ensuring this setup is correctly configured is a vital prerequisite for the successful implementation of the Cybersecurity Extension for SAP.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the primary difference between Onapsis and the Cybersecurity Extension for SAP?
The Cybersecurity Extension for SAP is an addon for SAP Solution Manager, whereas Onapsis typically requires separate consoles and sensors. By using Solution Manager, you centralize your security management within a platform you likely already use for application lifecycle management.
Is Solution Manager required for the Cybersecurity Extension for SAP?
Yes. The Cybersecurity Extension for SAP is built specifically as an addon for SAP Solution Manager. You must have a standard setup of Solution Manager, including the completion of Mandatory Configuration, to utilize the extension effectively.
What should I do after completing Infrastructure Preparation?
Once you have confirmed that the Infrastructure Preparation steps are complete, you should proceed to the next phase of the setup process. You can continue your transition by following the guide to Check Basic Configuration.
