About the SAP Integration

Ivanti Service Manager supports the integration of SAP Solution Manager with Ivanti Service Manager. This allows you to synchronize incident messages created in SAP with Ivanti Service Manager. Basic authentication is used between the two systems.

After setting up the SAP integration, you can do the following:

•Automatically replicate SAP incidents to Ivanti Service Manager (and vice versa from Ivanti Service Manager to SAP) based on team assignments.

•Bidirectionally synchronize certain content for incidents, such as contact details, description, journal, and resolution information.

•Verify or reject solutions between the systems (SAP and Ivanti Service Manager).

•Close tickets and update the status of corresponding incident tickets. Users in both SAP and Ivanti Service Manager can view corresponding ticket numbers.

•Create employees automatically in SAP Solution Manager and Ivanti Service Manager if the information does not already exist.

• Multi-tenant support allows tenants to define their own SAP endpoints, authentication, and configuration.

Use the following checklist to ensure that you have completed all of the necessary steps to set up and configure your system for the integration from both Ivanti Service Manager and SAP Solution Manager.
