Hi Ranjith Jacob,

Good blog, but to be complete over this subject, it's advisable to let us show how to work in Solution

Manager without the obsolete transactions SOLUTION_MANAGER and DSWP. In other words how is

it possible to create an EWA manually without these transactions?

I hope you will let us show this.

Thanks for this blog,

Regards

Meindert Jansen

Hello Meindert,

Thank you for the feedback. Solman 7.1 we need to use tcode solman_workcenter tcode to

create EWA manually.

Thanks,

Ranjith
