    for the structure of the System Administration Assistant. It is the not
    the current system.

    System Response

    You can only maintain the structure in a development system.

    landscape is configured for the System Administration Assistant.

    Decide in which system you want to maintain the structure of the System
    Administration Assistant and configure the system landscape for the
    System Administration Assistant.
    Log on to the relevant system and go to the maintenance dialog of the
    System Administration Assistant. Configure the system landscape first

    necessary if your administration tasks are different from the SAP
    tasks.
    Ideally, the development system is the current system for the System
    Administration Assistant.
