Hello Sibusiso,
While working on a VAR scenario you will able to populate SMSY from SAP marketplace, but remember that SMSY will be eliminate from solution manager on future SP; someone from SAP AGS tell me that this may will happens next to SP10 but is not still confirmed.
Now all SMSY management is done on LMDB, and for allow that you need to sync LMDB data from SLD, for that, on all of your customers that you can download from marketplace you need to register each one on central solution manager SLD, you can do hat with sld bridge that is the best option or on a temporally an single register from RZ70 to populate solution manager SLD to allow download each system data to LMDB.
On the solman_setp, you have a step on system preparation for migrate all SMSY information to LMDB, you will found that on next path:
solman_setup -> 5 Prepare Landscape -> Migrate Data to LMDB
That's the help from that point:
In this step, you migrate system landscape information that had to be defined manually in SMSY in earlier releases of SAP Solution Manager (below 7.1 SP04) and that cannot be provided by the System Landscape Directory (SLD) automatically. This applies to product system information and custom attributes, for example. Thereby, you can avoid new, manual creation in LMDB.
This step is irrelevant for new installations of SAP Solution Manager.
Activities
Under Manual Activities, you choose which aspects you want to migrate. Especially product system migration is strongly recommended.
In edit mode, proceed as follows to perform an activity manually:
For each activity that you perform, the system displays log messages in the Log screen area:
- From the Documentation column, open the documentation of the activity.
- To perform the activity, follow the instructions in the activity documentation.
- After you have performed the activity, select a status in the Execution column:
- If the activity was performed successfully, select Performed.
- If an error occurred in the activity, select Performed with Errors.
- To display a detailed description of a message, choose the link in the Details column.
- To analyze an error with an analysis tool, choose the link in the URL column.
- To check errors in the log of failed batch job executions, open Job Management (
SM37) and enter the job name.Migrate Information from SMSY to LMDB at http://help.sap.com/solutionmanager71-> Application Help -> [select a language] -> SAP Solution Manager Operations -> Managing System Landscape Information -> Setup the Landscape Management Infrastructure.
For a list of available documentation about system landscape management, see the SAP Community Network.

As a recommendation, i suggest you that forgot to create system on SMSY without update each one on LMDB, or you will find a lot of troubles on LMDB verification tool.
