Non-ALM topics / topics "outside" ALM

This table provides a list of functionalities which are technically part of SAP Solution Manager, but not related to ALM at all. Many of these functionalities are run on SAP Solution Manager because it is is a central system in the customer landscape, but are part of SAP Basis and need to move to other systems when moving away from SAP Solution Manager.

For this reason, it needs to be considered how to handle these functionalities in the future when moving from SAP Solution Manager to SAP Cloud ALM.
