About SLD & multiple SLD

Hi,
what are the advantages of SLD and multiple SLD?.
comments are welcome
regards,
Barath

Hi,
SLD (system Landscape Directory) is a central repository of information about systems and software in the data center.
so talking about the working of an SLD, here if any information is required for the integration server regarding the systems(logical or physical) and the software (installed products) it refers to the SLD. To tell you about the other features it has....it captures the dimensions of the system landscape like solution dimension, transport dimension and technical dimension. we assign a technical system to a business system to help the SLD make the appropriate association.The software products used by the business system are got from the technical system definition.
This might help you

Maintaining a Single SLD is Better Or Multiple SLD is Better

Hi All,
Maintaining a Single SLd is Better Or Multiple SLD's are Better While Working with the DEV, QTY, PRD..............
Please Give me the Reason

Hi babu,
check this
Difference Between Central SLD & Local SLD
see what Bhabes wrote ....
SAP recommends a Single SLD.
Having a separate SLD for every environment beats the concept of SLD itself. SLD is a place where you can look and understand what components/ system run in your landscape. If you are going to hve one for every Environment, it is against the concept of SLD itself. More maintenance is another issue.
Single SLD as recommended by SLD has the problem that you do not want to provide access to a component that can be used in production to developing teams and so on .What Barry has pointed is something that is a more practical approach.
There are no hard and fast rules. A client present across Geographies, havinng multiple vendors and IT teams handling different geographies would prefer to have multiple SLD's one for each Geography and then maybe a master SLD that is going to conain all info of the other Sld's and so on., There is no direct answer to this question other than it purely depends on individual clients.

SMSY_SETUP Expert Setting Multiple SLD Servers

Hi
In SMSY_SETUP there is the Expert Setting : Multiple SLD Server which you mark with an X if you want to read from many SLD servers. Can anyone help with how/where to configure which SLD servers to read from? Does it read from SLDAPICUST and if so, is it possible to schedule this read from multiple servers automatically?
Any help appreciated with points.
Thanks
Leigh

Hi there..
In the transaction LCRSERVADDR
You can add another SLD ...remember to maintenance the user/pwd for the new sld in SMSY_SETUP Menu: Goto-->SLD User Maintenance
Good luck..

If FF is set to "Never Remember History" and I try to close it with multiple tabs open, it doesn't warn me first. If it remembers history, it warns me about closing multiple tabs. I want that warning AND Don't Remember History back again!

At work I set my PC to not remember history for privacy reasons.
I always have many tabs open, and the warning about closing multiple tabs was a good thing - but now it only works if it remembers history!
I have the "Warn me when closing...." box checked AND all of the lines in about:config regarding these warnings are set to true. I have tried turning it off and back on, restarted the PC.
I discovered this yesterday with FF 3.something, tried updating to FF4.

The "Use custom settings for history" selection allows to see the current history and cookie settings, but selecting this doesn't make any changes to history and cookie settings.
Firefox shows "Use custom settings for history" as an indication that at least one of the history and cookie settings is not the default to make you aware that changes were made.
If all History settings are default then the custom settings are hidden and you see "Firefox will: (Never) Remember History".
"Never Remember History" means that Private Browsing is active and "Always use private browsing mode" gets a checkmark.
You need to remove the checkmark on "Always use private browsing mode" to leave Private Browsing mode or chose the "Remember History" setting.

I have a question about using multiple ipads in our school. Each of our teachers have a iPad and AppleTV in their classroom. The issue is, with our classrooms so close in proximity to one another, is there a way to pair teacher

I have a question about using multiple ipads in our school. Each of our teachers have a iPad and AppleTV in their classroom. The issue is, with our classrooms so close in proximity to one another, is there a way to pair teacher #1 iPad to its AppleTV without effecting/projecting onto the adjacent teachers #2 classroom AppleTV?

Not as such.
Give the AppleTV units unique names and also enable Airplay password in settings with unique passwords for each teacher.

HT2470 how would i go about taking multiple files from documents and make them part of 1 master file

how would i go about taking multiple files from documents and make them into 1 master file? I want to put all documents associated with this project together for easier access.

From the finder window, click File, click new folder, you can drag all documents into that Folder making it the master folder. You can ajso drag folders into the Master folder, and have them as sub-folders if you wish to do that. Either way they will all be in one master folder.

How would I go about adding multiple rectangles using the same lines of code?

How would I go about adding multiple rectangles using the same lines of code? I would prefer to just run through a set of code every time I need a polygon. If I just have to create multiple polygon adding statements that's fine but I'd prefer just 1.

>>How would I go about adding multiple rectangles using the same lines of code?
You could create a method that creates and returns x number of Rectangle elements:
public IEnumerable<Rectangle> CreateRectangles(int numberOfRectsToCreate)
for (int i = 0; i < numberOfRectsToCreate; ++i)
Rectangle rect = new Rectangle();
rect.Fill = Brushes.Blue;
rect.Width = 100;
rect.Height = 100;
yield return rect;
..and then call this method from anywhere in your code:
IEnumerable<Rectangle> rects = CreateRectangles(5);
foreach (Rectangle rect in rects)
//add to StackPanel or do whatever with the Rectangle elements:
yourStackPanel.Children.Add(rect);
>>If I just have to create multiple polygon adding statements that's fine but I'd prefer just 1.
When adding Point objects to a Polygon you can only add one per call to the Add method but you could call the Add method inside a loop, e.g:
for(int i = 0; i < 10; ++i)
//add to StackPanel or do whatever with the Rectangle elements:
Polygon p = new Polygon();
p.Points.Add(new Point());

Technical system definitions on multiple SLD servers in a SAP landscape

Hi,
If we want to migrate an SAP SLD server from Solution manager application to ECC application(s). In this process solution manager's SLD server data will be migrated into multiple servers at ECC environment(say for example, we define one SLD server for all development systems and one for Production systems).
Is it required to have all technical systems of SLD servers to be same? (I mean do we have to have all the technical systems defined on Dev SLD server to be available even at PRD SLD server?)
Thanks in advance for all responses.
NetWeaver admin.

Hi,
Yes. If you configured some technical system which reports data to your DEV SLD. And you want same data should be replicated to PRD SLD then you can configure data bridge between DEV SLD and PRD SLD. Then your DEV SLD will replicates its data to PRD SLD.
In order to configure data bridge, you can check below link:

XI, SLD & multiple clients for DEV & QA

Ref: Re: 3rd party tech systems for multiple business systems...
I have a question regarding the avoidance of duplicated Configuration (Collaboration Profiles, Logical Routing & Collaboration Agreements) for different clients in the DEV/QA landscape.
As we know: many projects have multiple clients in DEV and QA. Here is an example landscape:
SXD_100 - Dev XI server
SED_100 - config dev
SED_200 - ABAP dev
SED_300 - unit test
SED_400 - sandbox
[ 1 technical system : 3 business systems ! ]
LDEV Legacy system
[ 1 technical system : 1 business system ]
SXQ_100 - QA XI server
SEQ_100 - clean config QA
SEQ_200 - ABAP QA
SEQ_300 - data migration prep
SEQ_nnn - yada, yada...
[ 1 technical system : nnn business systems ! ]
LQA Legacy system
[ 1 technical system : 1 business system ]
The problem:
SED_400->LDEV is used for prototyping integration
SED_100->LDEV is used for config development
SED_200->LDEV is used for ABAP development
SED_300->LDEV is used for unit tests
Receiver Determination is able to look into the message for a dynamic receiver, but we are not able to have a sender like "SED*"
The question:
Do we really need multiple sets of configuration in the Integration Directory? Is there a way to re-use the configuration for SED_100->LDEV for the other development efforts?
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Rgds,
Derek

Hi Derek,
Since there can only one business system in SLD per client in SAP R/3.
e.g
SED_100 will have lets say BS_100_Dev
SED_200 and BS_200_Dev
In QA
SEQ_100 -> BS_100_QA
SEQ_200 -> BS_200_QA
It is not possible to configure the single scenario catering the Dynamic (multiple) sender agreement to Reciever.
But for QA you can use set transport target in SLD to reflect the BS_100_Dev -> BS_100_QA, where ever used.
This doesnot solve the problem of having dynamic sender service, it is just for information.
We also faced the same problem of testing a scenario from different clients of SAP :(.

Satish

SLD multiple entries

Hi,
Can someone tell me why I might see multiple entries in the SLD under
technical settings - exchange infrastructure -
for
AdapterEngine, Integration Directory,Integration repository, and RWB
The first one appears with a *.<sid> and the second one appears with a *.<sid>.<sid>
Thanks,
Lee

Carlos,
Good question. We have a local SLD installed on each system. So, one for Dev, one for QA and one for PRD.
We seem to have our problems after we promote using CMS.

Best Practise for multiple SLDs and CMS

Hi Guys,
 We are planning on our XI Landscape, can you guide me to best practices document or weblogs on where it answers my following points.
We are planning to have DEV - QA - PROD XI Boxes. We are planning to implement CMS. What is the optimal approach, pros and cons of each approach.
1) Installing one central SLD which would be either on DEV or QA box. CMS also installed on the same box.
2) Installing two SLDs
 i) one on Dev Box. CMS on Dev Box sharing SLD
 ii) second SLD on QA box which is shared by PROD box which will be the SLD used for production.
I would be happy to see responses with any existing landscapes which are being implemented by you guys in case of CMS also in picture.
Thanks in Advance
Regards
Sujan

Hi,
In my project we have maitained 2 SLD one for Production landscape and one for non-Production landscape. However the High Availability scenario is available in 7.1 but it is not there in release 7.0.
In case of release 7.0 you have to follow the following procedure to have the similar (HA) kind of scenario:
1). In case of ABAP and dual stack go to SLDAPICUST and maitain two entries for SLD with proper host name, port number and PIAAPLUSER detail.
Make one entry as Primary.
Also if JAVA stack is also there then go to Admin tool and maintain the detail in "HTTP Setting" of the "SLD Data Service" with the data of the primary SLD just maintained above through SLDAPICUST.
2). In case of only JAVA stack maitain the detail in "HTTP Setting" of the "SLD Data Service" with the data of the primary SLD.
Note--Here there is no option to maintain two SLD server details.
3). Now Login to ABAP/+JAVA stack server at the SAP GUI level and check the connection by executing SLDCHECK command. If it works fine then do the following:
 a). Now to make your two SLD in sync login to SLD with Admin user having write access to LCR (e.g. PISUPER, j2ee_admin in case of ABAP+JAVA or "administrator" user in case of JAVA stack) and go to Administration->Data Suppliers->Add SLD.
Here you have to add the other SLD detail in the form of "http://<servername>:<j2eeport>/, with SLDDSUSER ID detail. This will make both the SLD in sync to each other.
Note--Make sure that the password for all the user mentioned above is same in both the SLD otherwise it would cause an error.
 b). Also take the full export of your primary SLD by going through "Administartion->Export" and Import it in your secondary SLD. This will make both the SLD in sync with each other initialy and you won't get any error when both SLD tried to sync automaticaly.
4). In the case when one SLD is down then make the other SLD primary through the transaction "SLDAPICUST", RZ70 and by logging through Admin tool. Check your setting through the transaction SLDCHECK.
Note--In RZ70 you have only one option and you can maitain only one SLD detail at a time. So whenever there is a problem in one SLD make sure that you have make the changes in RZ70 as well with the new detail of the SLD.
Best regards,

Central SLD/Local SLD

Hello All,
Is there limitation with central SLD over Local SLD?.
To deploy Webdynpro applications (Mobile) please let me know if there are any limitations
Thanks

Hello.
SLD architecture is a long discussion
There are different views on how to set up SLD's.
In my oppinion, the limitations of SLD is that it's a central component to a growing number of netweaver component.
Right now, the portal, webdynpro, xi, nwdi wouldn't work very well without the SLD.
Considering this there is aspects on how to set up the SLD's. Usually critical systems have a local SLD, with supplyer briges to central SLD's.
You would have a separate SLD landscape for Production servers, since they usually run on different SLA (service level agreements).
If you're using NWDI, it's usually a good place to have you're central SLD.
If you're running a smaller landscape, go for the local SLD only and don't complicate your landscape too much.
Check this document (about last slide) with different SLD scenarios. https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/204994f3-0e44-2a10-17b3-808fbd8db4aa

Central SLD vs SLD for each XI instance

We are starting our SAP XI project. We are on XI 3.0 sp 9. We are trying to make a decision on which of the SLD configurations is the best for our company. We will have 3 SAP XI systems (dev, qa and Prd) should each have an SLD or should their be a central SLD? What is working for people currently in production? What are lessons learned? Thanks

Hi,
We do not have yet implemented production XI environment but as SAP IT consultant, I am thinking about system architecture design based on SAP NetWeaver platform.
So I would say for good performance, it will be better that each XI connect to its own SLD system but for system landscape maintenance I would advise to have a central SLD only if each XI systems (dev, qa and prod) communicates with the same system landscape.
You also have to think about XI object transport from dev to qa and prod...as XI design and configuration objects are based on SLD model (business system, software components) you should have the same SLD
in each environment...so in that case a central SLD could be a good option but you could also imagine as an alternative solution an SLD model replication strategy between each SLD systems
But we still have the question of SLD maintenance security and I really do not think that it is a good idea for dev purposes to allow changes in a central SLD used by an XI production system !!!
The last point is that in some NetWeaver scenario SLD is not only used by XI but also by EP - WebDynpro with JCo connection for instance - so if you would want to use other NetWeaver components I would say to have a standalone SLD system for security reason and shared efficiency.
So you should have at least two SLD systems (one for dev/qa and one for prod) but we could imagine the following architecture :
1- XI dev with its own built in SLD system which one has an SLD namespace for dev purposes (dev_namespace) as a sand box and an other namespace (rep_namespace) which is the replication of the prod landscape (prod_namespace)
2- XI qa with its own built in SLD system with only one SLD namespace (qa_namespace) as a copy of rep_namespace
3- a standalone SLD system with one namespace (prod_namespace) to share it with other NetWeaver components without the risk to break down connection in case of XI prod problems.
XI prod points to this standalone SLD
4- if you are not using others NetWeaver components, a standalone SLD for production is not useful and then production SLD is in the production XI system itself.
So that my first feeling...but still open for discussion on that important point of system architecture design.
I hope it helps you a bit to have a decision.
Greetings

Transfer SLD content between SLDs in SLD 640

Is it possible to transfer content between two SLD systems in SLD version 640?
1.) I have a SLD (call it sldA) that contains the ABAP and JAVA data about DEV and QA system.
2.) I have another SLD (call it sldB) that contains the ABAP and JAVA data about my Production systems.
I'm running SLD version 6.40.0 - not 700.
Is there a way to get the content of sldA into sldB and keep it syncronized? I'd like to maintain two distinct SLDs, but I'd like sldB to have information about the entire landscape. This would be a one way push from sldA to sldB. I'd like this to be an automatic process, not something I have to do manually.

Though I have not worked on such environment. Your query looks interesting...I tried to find something related.
About SLD I am sure you must be aware of "SLD Bridge Forwarding" , It exists in 700 and 6.40 as well...
Is it possible to transfer content between two SLD systems in SLD version 640?
As per the [SLD6.40 Post Installation |https://websmp102.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700001149582007E] Document I think it is possible.
You might have already checked this document, If not please check page 12.
It says you need to check gateway connections & RFCs and also need to update CIM contents.(Note 669669)
To forward data from QA& DEV to Prod - Configure the bridge between this and If you do not want to receive data from ABAP systems in your SLD, set the parameter StartRfcServer to false.( Check this [Link|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi71/helpdata/en/43/da21ba13660aa5e10000000a1553f6/frameset.htm])
I think this will make your process automatic from sldA to sldB and also you will get entire landscape information in sldB (Correct me if I am wrong)
Let us know if it was helpful....
Cheers
