Managed System Configuraiton Issue in SolMan 7.1

Question

Hi Experts,
In solution manager 7.1, during Managed system configuration in phase "Configure Automatically" am getting an error while executing the step 'Activate Services' .
Error log says-->Function module W3_PUBLISH_SERVICE does not exist.
I checked function module W3_PUBLISH_SERVICE  which exists in SolMan 7.1 but its not available in managed system.
Please help to overcome on this issue.
Thanks,
Rakesh

Hi,
To use the functionality of report  W3_PUBLISH_SERVICE on managed system
you need to import SAP BASIS 701 SP02.
Actually, function module W3_PUBLISH_SERVICE is delivered since
support packages below:
SAP_BASIS 701 SAPKB70102
SAP_BASIS 710 SAPKB71007
SAP_BASIS 711 SAPKB71101
So, to import this object is necessary upgrade the system at least to
SAP_BASIS 701 SP 02.
Unfortunately it is not possible to import only this specific object
regarding all dependecies that it necessary to import to the system
to make it consistent.
Also check notes:
1233316 and 1309047
So you have following options as per note: 1309047:
1.  Import SAP_BASIS >= 701 Support Package 1 into the managed systems.
2.  If SAP_BASIS is not of a higher release than 700, the service must
    be manually activated and this results in a warning in the log.
    Manually activate the service /default_host/sap/bc/bsp/sap/system in
    transaction SICF in the managed system. The error message mentioned
    above is still displayed, since, due to the missing function module,
    the service activity cannot be checked on the managed system.
So if you manually activate this service, the error will also exists
because the automatical mode cannot get a sucessful result and you
manually perform this step instead, and you can ignore this and go on
the configuration.
