Often, an environment includes more than one SAP system, each one using a different set of credentials (for instance, user name, password, system number, or client number).

It is customary to register all SAP systems in the SAP Solution Manager, to centralize the management of the SAP systems. Data Flow Management (DFM) enables discovery of all the SAP systems by discovering this connection to the SAP Solution Manager. In this way, you create a single set of credentials; there is no need to create a set of credentials for each SAP system. DFM discovers all systems (and their topology) with this one set.
