SAP MMC (Microsoft Management Console)

The SAP Microsoft Management Console (SAP MMC) provides a common framework for system management. It integrates previously separate tools in a common user interface for centralized system management. Although the SAP MMC itself does not offer any management functionality, it provides an environment for incorporating and accessing management tools. Tools are integrated in the SAP MMC with snap-ins for standardized access to functions.
SAP has developed the SAP Systems Manager snap-in which lets you monitor, start or stop the SAP system centrally from the SAP MMC. SAP recommends you to use the SAP MMC because it simplifies system administration and provides many new features.
You can use the SAP MMC for both ABAP and Java systems.

1.) Download the SAP MMC from the SAP Software Download Center:
