Option "No SLD Destination"

Hi,
I need some clarification according to following situation:
On one machine (A) I have installed SAP NetWeaver, Development Subscription, with double stack engines ABAP+Java and all possible usage types. On this machine I have configured a SLD (CEN) and it is running.
On another machine (B) I have diverse other SAP Trials (NSP, J2E, and CE1), they all are using a local SLD.
Now I have installed successfully one further system, a developer workplace including a Java instance and the developer studio on (B). During installation - in phase: parameter settings - I decided SLD-oriented to use the option "No SLD Destination" because I read that there had been given different changes to CTS and SLD since release SAP NW 7.0 SPS13. So I do not want to mix the 'older' SAP versions SLD with the new system, because I want to activate the usage of NWDI (installed on (A) ) via the developer studio.
Luckyly, I found the Wiki of Christian Haarmann who describes the very hard way to post-install a SLD when you have decided yourself to use the option "No SLD Destination".
WIKI: "Walkthrough Installation of SAP NetWeaver Trial and ESS Business Packages"
But he does the way, when all components are on the same machine...
Would it the right way to start post-installation of SLD with his third step: running NWA_03_Creating a connection to the SLD... and to give here the connection data of my central system with the user who is known on that server (A). If so, must this user also known with my machine which I want to use for test development (B)? Reading the newest documents about SLD and looking to the messages during the installation process, I understood that the software components being installed on the development system need no local SLD.
Before I am bollixing up my server machine I need some help and advice from you, the experts, to come clear with this situation.
Any input is appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
Regards
Christian

Monika,
Need not worry at this time if you dont see the screen.You can configure SLD once installation is done.

Installing ECC 6.0, XI not full in place Option for SLD

We r Installing ECC 6.0, and we dont have XI fully installed in place and also another ECC 6.0 in place.
While installing ECC 6.0, it gives 3 options reg the SLD configuration as :
> No SLD destination
> Configure a local SLD
> Register in the Central SLD
Which one should I select.
If i select the first option (No SLD destination), in the future can I change it to the last one.
-Naveen.

Hello Naveen,
The first one is telling that u r not using the SLD in u r landscape
The second one is telling that U r about to configure the Local SLD on u r current installation only...
The third thing tell us that if there is already configured SLD in u r previous system and u want to use that SLD for u r current installation then u have to redirect the configuration parameter to the existing SLD only...
AS for example...
In my system previuosly i have one DEV system installed with SLD configuration...after ward i had installed the PRD system and at the time of installation by mistakenly i had installed a new SLD over there in PRD also.....
but after some time as of requriement i have to make only one SLD between DEV & PRD system so later on i will redirect the PRD SLD to DEV SLD...
so after installation u can change/reconfigure u r SLD also...
if you want the steps for the same then let me know..
if this information is usefull to u then please give points..
thanks

FTP option gone from destination

I have just purchased a new iMac 27" and have installed my favorite FCP and Compressor. I have been using these products for about five years and can't live without them. However, the new version of compressor does not have an FTP (or remote) option under the destination dropdown. Clicking the plus button will launch the FIND window.
Is this a bug?
please help restore remote destination to my new compressor.

Yeah u might want to use a more flexible compressor to do this
That is to to consider to "add job action" to your batch and to simply invoke an Automator workflow than u can do what u like
You can access in the tab of the inspector in the compressor job.
We always use ssh/scp/scp NOT FTP to do any movement of objects and have one or 2 of these to move to and from the transcode cluster.
Having said that , your Automator workflow can simply call an AppleScript who in teen at manipulate a scriptable application to meet your specific needs or directly invoke a SHELL. Unix command or other such as a python script or cli command or even use a set of Automator folder actions to take care of the stuff u need
It's not complex and is very flexible for any bespoke or customised workflow
Plenty of info around
Compressor very flexible.

Synchronise new option in sld

HI Experts
                Earlier if we create a technical system /businesssystem or softwarecomponent in an sld we used to explitly export it into our desktop and import it into the target sld , But now we got new option that is synchronization ,does any body used it succesfully ,
i have a doubt if the target sld is not properly synchronized to the source sld then if we chose this option i think it may
not work because synchornizataion is nothing but always incremental export and only full export if it is first time export.And this way of transport can be done only if both are in synch.
What is the case if the both sld's are not in synch and can we use this trnasport procedure. Can any body clarify to my point. whether i am right
regards
sandeep

Hi ,
First of all to sync the SLD both the SLD must be at the Same CIM model and the CR Delta. Then you must check all the system in the Central SLD are updated properly.
There is setting in the Visual admin of the Child system to send the data to the parent SLD system when ever chnaged.
Visual Admin -> Services -> SLD datasupplier -> second tab is the place where you need to enter Paent SLD in the Child system.
Please refer the not to update the SIM and the CR delta to bring the SLD to same version.
Refer SAP Note 669669 to upgrade CIM model
Setup/Confirm local SLD to send data to Central SLD
NOTE u2013 Do not perform this step until the local SLD has been updated with the latest CIM model and CIM Data/Content as per the Central SLD.
-     Open the Visual Administration for the local SLD instance
-     Goto server  services  SLD Data Supplier
-     On u201CHTTP Setting (Data Supplier)u201D on bottom tab, enter the information specific to STD (Central SLD)
-     To test the connectivity, trigger data transfer to Central SLD by clicking on Lightning Bolt icon on top.

No option to "Select Destination" while reinstalling...

Greetings!
My husband bought me a new iMac for Valentine's Day, and when I hooked it up to my old eMac I was lucky enough to get all of the data migrated, but it somehow lobotomized the eMac. I'm trying to reinstall the original disks (10.3.4), but when I get to "Select Destination" on the install menu, it doesn't give me anything to select from, nor do I get the "Options..." button highlighted for selection.
I tried doing a "Reinstall" from the Disk Utility and that won't give me a destination either. I've done both over and over -- and expected a different result. We all know what that means.
Would appreciate any advice the Mac experts can give.

duckie66:
Sorry, I just got online and may have missed your window of opportunity.
Boot from the install disk and launch Disk Utility in the Installer menu.
In the sidebar on the left, do you see the Hard Disk Drive (manufacturer ID listed)? Is there an volume beneath it indented to the right? It is usually Macintosh HD.
If the HDD (manufacturer ID) does not show up, the you have no internal HD, or one that is not serviceable. If the Manufacturer ID shows up, but no volume indented under it, then your HD need formatting. I will post directions for formatting just in case.
Formatting, Partitioning Erasing a Hard Disk Drive
• With computer shut down insert install disk in optical drive.
• Hit Power button and immediately after chime hold down the "C" key.
• Select language
• Go to the Utilities menu (Tiger) Installer menu (Panther & earlier) and launch Disk Utility.
• Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in left side bar.
• Select Partition tab in main panel. (You are about to create a single partition volume.)
• Click on Options button
• Select Apple Partition Map (PPC Macs) or GUID Partition Table (Intel Macs)
• Click OK
• Select number of partition in pull-down menu above Volume diagram.
(Note 1: One partition is normally preferable for an internal HDD.)
• Type in name in Name field (usually Macintosh HD)
• Select Volume Format as Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
• Click Partition button at bottom of panel.
• Select Erase tab
• Select the sub-volume (indented) under Manufacturer ID (usually Macintosh HD).
• Check to be sure your Volume Name and Volume Format are correct.
• Click Erase button
• Quit Disk Utility.
If you successfully format the HD you are ready to install. Here are directions.
Installation Process
• With computer shut down insert install disk in optical drive.
• Hit Power button and immediately after chime hold down the "C" key.
• Select language
• Open Installer and begin installation.
• Select installation option
• Choose to Customize and deselect Foreign Language Translations and Additional Printer drivers.
Optional: Check box to install X11 (Tiger and later) BSD Subsystems (Panther & earlier).

Optional user-defined destination sort key

I want to use user-defined destination sort key to control JMS message priority. Not all the messages contain the message property this sort key uses. When the message property is not present, what is the sorting behavior? Will messages be sorted by the message priority first, and if it doesn't exist, then messages be sorted by default i.e. by JMSMessageID?

Hi,
          If you're using the "JMSPriority" field, then all messages have a value, and the default value is 4 (set by the JMS specification). In WebLogic, the default priority can be set to a different value via a connection factory configurable attribute.
          If you're using a JMS message property, then the behavior is different. For sorting purposes, I think the defaults for numerical types are their minimal possible value "MIN_VALUE", for the boolean type is "true", and for the string type is the empty string ("").
          By the way, I recommend using header fields (such as JMSPriority) for sorting - this can aid performance significantly in the case when there are many messages on the destination and/or when messages are paged out.
          Hope this helps,
          Tom

SEVERE: couldn't connect to DB
It would be great help if I can get any clue to solve this?
Thanks & Regards,
Anup Garg

Hi Anup,
If you want to install developer studio then you need not to install J2ee engine for this.
Actaully there are 2 products :
1. Developer studio
2. Developer workplace.
In fact these are not 2 products but if you want to install developer studio with local runtime environment then you need to install developer workplace.
So (J2EE engine + Developer studio)= developer workspace
you can install developer studio on XP, windows 2003 server and NT platform but not sure for VISTA. But it should work on vista with no problem.
but you can install developer workspace only on server platforms because it needs J2EE engine to be installed as a prerequisite.
in your case , you need windows 2003 server instead of vista if you want j2ee engine and developer studio both.
In case you only want to install developer studio, you can install it from developer workplace DVD .
browse to Dev workplace DVD( Example path for version 7.0)
DVD>IDE>IDE70setup
execute this setup. it will only installdeveloper studio.
please award points if above info is helpful.

Network Destinations options disappeared

Hi,
Two weeks ago, I was travelling to another country and inserted a different SIM and installed it's settings, but when I came back and installed the orignal SIM, I lost some of the selection options Network Destination for Exchange and OVI Maps only
Previously I could see different options under Network Destinations such as 'Data Package' and access points which I had connected to previously. Now I only see 'Internet' and this has only affected the two applications mentioned above. I also have Hotmail & Gmail which give me the other options so I find it strange why has this happened to Exchange and OVI Maps only (even after updating the maps application).
This is preventing me from using my service provider's Data Package connection for these apps. I've contacted the provider and installed the default configuration settings recieved via SMS but that didn't help
Would apprecaite if someone could help.
Thanks

I completely forgot to mention that I have an E72.
I figured out the issue, that the Data Package is not defined as an access point under Internet under Connections. However when I try to add a new acces point, the menu hangs. I can only press the Home key and do other stuff but the connections menu hangs and I cant use the Back or Options key. Same thing happens when I try to add a Multimedia Acess Point or a Wap Access point.
The only solution is to restart the phone and go back into Connections via Control Panel but I can't add a new Access Point. Help would be greatly appreciated.
Btw I haven't updated to the new firmware. Does that fix the problem?
Thanks

How to create a local SLD on a newly installed PI 7.3 system.

Hello
I wander how to create a local SLD on a newly installed PI 7.3 system.
When installing I choosed "register in existing central SLD"(other option was "no SLD destination")
On next screen I have choosen SLD HTTP host as the host I was currently installing PI7.3
For SLD HTTP port I have used 50000 as the instance was (the default) "00"
For SLD Data Supplier User I have choosen "SLDDSUSER"
I was warned then that "The SLD Server is not reachable. Choose "Cancell" to modify managing configuration or "OK" to continue. If you choose to continue you will have to execute the smdsetup script later on."
I opted "OK".
if I understand I have to execute smdsetup script in order to create a local SLD
Has anyone experience with it
thank you in advace
Jan

Hi Jan,
You first need to run the wizard to setup the SLD locally.
To do this, go to the NetWeaver Administrator -> Configuration -> Scenarios -> Configuration Wizard -> Funtional Wizard Configuration UI
There tick System Landscape Directory and select "Enable Automatically".
After executing this, your SLD will be ready for use.
The SMD has nothing to do with the SLD, it's just the next step in the installation process.
Kind regards,
Mark

Best Recommendation to link Central SLD to LMDB

hi
What is your suggestion to connect central SLD on SAP Netweaver to LMDB on Solution Manager 7.1 ?
Q1.
I can think of 2 options:
1) Central SLD (NW) > Local SLD (SM7.1) > LMDB
2) Central SLD (NW) > LMDB
Is it necessary to configure a local SLD on solution manager 7.1 and pull data from the central sld (NW) to syn to the LMDB?
Or can we direct syn from central SLD to LMDB?
What are the pro and cons for the 2 options?
Q2.
During the setup of the solution manager, it is required to choose an option of the SLD Destination
1) Register in existing central SLD
2) Configure a local SLD
I realise both questions are somehow link and can affect my setup.
For instance:
if i decided for (Central SLD (NW) > Local SLD (SM7.1) > LMDB) , i will need to choose Configure a local SLD
If i decided for (Central SLD (NW) > LMDB), i will choose Register in existing central SLD.
So which is better decision? Secondly, SAP recommended to configure a local SLD. Can i configure and not used it if i happened to go for Central SLD (NW) > LMDB? SInce no local SLD is required.
Pls advise. Thanks in advance
Regards
Gary

Hello Gary,
The right option is
2) Central SLD (NW) > LMDB
Is it necessary to configure a local SLD on solution manager 7.1 and pull data from the central sld (NW) to syn to the LMDB?
No, it is not necessary. Solution Manager's LMDB needs to be fed with a SLD, local or not.
Or can we direct sync from central SLD to LMDB?
Yes, you can.
What are the pro and cons for the 2 options?
There aren't really pros and cons. It's up to you to maintain a SLD centrally outside Solman or a local SLD in the Solution Manager.
Regarding your Q2, please make sure you are not refeering to Solution Manager 7.0 EHP1 recommendations, because the documentation for EHP1 in fact recommends a local SLD.
For configuration options and examples, check the [Setup Guide Landscape Management Database|https://websmp109.sap-ag.de/%7Esapidb/011000358700000551222011E.URL]. Also there's a Wiki topic article: http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=250514114
I will leave the official recommendation part to another contribuitor to share thoughts in this topic. Meanwhile may you please point out where did you see such recommendation?

Add remote system to SLD

Hi folks,
I have a SLD set up to use the R/3 backend on the same server. I've also added another R/3 backend to the technical systems, so I can set up a JCO to use this. When I try to set up a JCO with the new backend and try to ping it I get the following error:
com.sap.mw.jco.JCO$Exception: (102) RFC_ERROR_COMMUNICATION: Connect to message server host failed Connect_PM TYPE=B MSHOST=trel-p40 GROUP=PUBLIC R3NAME=SOE MSSERV=sapmsSOE PCS=1 LOCATION CPIC (TCP/IP) on local host with Unicode ERROR service 'sapmsSOE' unknown TIME Thu May 31 12:43:10 2007 RELEASE 700 COMPONENT NI (network interface) VERSION 38 RC -3 MODULE nixxhsl.cpp LINE 776 DETAIL NiHsLGetServNo: service name cached as unknown COUNTER 1
As I can see the JCO points to my local R/3 not to the remote one. So here's my question: How do I tell the SLD that my newly added technical system is in some onther place. I've added the hostnames respectivly but I can't see how the sld would know where to look for a hostname that's not part of the local domain.
Any help would be highly appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Robert

Sure, so here's what I'm trying to do: I have a development system consistion of an ERP 5 plus Portal 6.0 and all nessaccery components. I'll use this system to develop webdynpro apps and get them running in the portal.
It's basically just prototypes but in order to give some customers the big picture I wanna connect my webdynpro apps to the customers R/3 for a live presentation with real data.
The Connection runns over JCOs implementing the SLD destination and login data for the remote system (customer side). The remote R/3 just holds an functional package (don't know how it's called in English) that's RFC enabled.
So now I'm facing the problem: How do I get the remote system to be accessable by my JCOs. My thought was just add it in the SLD as a technical system.
As you can see I'm lacking basic understanding of SLD. Maybe you could set me on the right track?

Open hub destination to download the output file into R/3

Hi Guys,
             I have a requirement where i need to down load the data from my BW cube to R/3.For this i am using Open hub destination.
While creating the open hub destination we have option called RFC Destination(in that i have selected destination as my R/3 system).When i execute my DTP it is saying the load is successful and it is showing the no.of records transfered.
But i am not able to find where this data is getting transfered From BW cube to R/3 system using open hub.

Hi Friends,
I have one Query on WDJ. Here I have two requirements.
I have done click on u201CExport Excelu201D Button that data was download into Excel file Now my requirement is click on Save Button that file will save into (/exchange/CED) this path of R/3 System.
CED -
>is R/3 System ID
Under System id we can save this file.
Here EP Server and R/3 Servers in Diff Systems.
I was write codeing
InputStream text =      null;
     int temp = 0;
     try
     File file =      new File(wdContext.currentContextElement().getResource().getResourceName().toString());
//       String File = "abc.xls";
//       String file = "anat" + ".xls";
     wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportSuccess("File::"+file);
     FileOutputStream op =      new FileOutputStream(file);
//       FileOutputStream op = new FileOutputStream("D://usr//sap//BPE//"+file);
//       FileOutputStream op = new FileOutputStream("D://KumarDev-BackUp//"+file);
     wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportSuccess("op::"+op);
     if (wdContext.currentContextElement().getResource()!= null)
     text = wdContext.currentContextElement().getResource().read(false);
     while((temp=text.read())!= -1)
     op.write(temp);
     op.flush();
     op.close();
//        path = file.getAbsolutePath();
     path =      "/exchange/CED/"+file;
     wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportSuccess("path:"+path);
     catch(Exception ex)
          wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportSuccess("ex.printStackTrace()");
My Req is that file will saved in this path (path =      "/exchange/CED/"+file; )

How to use 'flat file extraction' option in Infospoke

Hello Gurus,
We are trying to extract the BW data using Infospoke to a 3rd party ETL tool (Datastage). Now in the current BW 3.5 release, the customer is on SP11 and we are not able to extract any data using a 3rd party system option in Infospoke. Due to the fact, we found out from SAP, that since we are getting an error (3rd party system is not set)in infospoke, we have to upgrade the SP level from 11 to either 16 or 17. The customer that we are dealing with is not going to do that until July - 2007.
So now we have a second option to load the 'flat file' in BW App. server and FTP to Datastage. Is this something workable option?
When using that option within Infospoke destination Tab, we can see two options. One is to use File option and load the data within the standard DIR HOME. I tried that but I can't see the file and the entire data within the standard directory. Can anyone explain why and what will be the procedure to follow?
The second option is to use Logical file. I never done that before. Can anyone explain step by step process or provide the detail document and/or link?
Since we are at the critical timeframe stage, I would appreciate if I can get the faster response from the Gurus.
I will make sure to give 'reward points' to each and every helpful answer(s).
thanks in advance,
Maulesh

Hi shashi,
first, let me clarify one thing here! I am not saying '3rd party tool' as an option in infospoke. I know Infospoke provides only two options (DB table, and file). But when you use DB table option, you check mark on 3rd party destination and that's where you define an RFC destination for 3rd party tool. So when you execute an infospoke, it will start extracting data and load into the defined destination. Since we are on SP11 on BW 3.5 release, we are getting an error while executing an Infospoke using 'DB table option'. The error is like '3rd party destination is not set'. When I went to Marketplace and found an OSS note, I found out that we need an upgrade on SP level (upto 17).
   As I mentioned earlier, the client doesn't want to upgrade until next year, and we are at the critical timeframe stage, where we have to make a decision whether we hold this project until the SP upgrade happens or found alternate approach where we can extract the data from BW (somehow) and load into Teradata database via Datastage - BW Pack (3rd party ETL).
   So we might be able to use the second option in Infospoke destination, which is to use 'Flat file' load.
   Now when I use File option with App. server checked, the data loads into default Server and directory on BW. Which is DIR_HOME. I can see those file extracted and loaded into that directory under the transaction AL11. But I can't see any data. Do you think I have to request for an increase in size limit? If I see all the data, how can I FTP from the BW server? Do I have to work with SAP Basis or create a UNIX script?
   When I use Logical file name, I guess I have to follow what you have described on your response, correct? Can i use an existing Logical path and file name? Do you have a 'How to' document on creating YEAR and PER FM? Is it possible that Basis can do this work for us? What happens after we assign a logical Path and logical file name into the destination tab on Infospoke? What is the use of logical file versus file? Overall, I am looking for a process from extracting the data from Infospoke using either file or logical file, all the way to load into 3rd party database.
looking forward for your response!
thanks,
Maulesh
