Thank you for responding Sunny. When the system asks me in step 3 (I think) for the target system, should I use the SPS10 DVD for solution manager (media 51047130), or should I use something else? I went back to SMP\Installations and Upgrades\A-Z Index\S\SAP Solution Manager\SAP Solution Manager 7.1\Installation\Microsoft Windows\Microsoft SQL-Server and re-downloaded 51047130 SAP Solution Manager 7.1 SPS 10, but got the same results. So looking at that list, what media number should I then use in step 3 to map to an xml file? As I said, this is my first time using the SUM tool.
I looked at Note 1577909 as the Master Guide suggests, and this note states to download the ABAP and JAVA stacks. I then went to SMP\patches\A-Z\S\SAP Solution Manager\SAP Solution Manager 7.1\Support Package Stack Download and chose SPS 04 as the source and SPS 10 as the target. I chose all the Windows x64 related downloads, as well as all the DB independent downloads, but if I then run SUM, only JAVA is available to update. Please help.
