Aspects of SLD in SAP XI

Hi all ,
Can any One explain about the aspects of SLD in SAP XI?
REG
Kevin

Hi Kevin,
I think your are asking for the dimension in SLD if so,below is the answer
SystemLandScape have 3 dimensions they are
1.The solution dimensions(what software processes are installed)
2.Transport dimension
3.Technical dimension(what products are installed on which hosts on particular networks).
The SLD should capture all the three dimensions of the system landscape.
Kevin why ont you put some portal relavant questions?

SLD in SAP XI

Hi
I am planning to isntall XI. Can anybody tell me the special considerations while installing. I do not have separate SLD Configured.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
SLD is system landscape directory and it contains all the Technical system and Businsess System of your XI system.
Go through the below link for SLD preparation for your XI system:
u may refer:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/9e76e511-0d01-0010-5c9d-9f768d644808
SLD Steps for starting a XI project
Configuration Steps
The configuration steps that you need to perform depend on the type of system. The following system types are relevant for the SAP System Landscape Directory (SLD):
· SAP technical systems
The following SAP systems do not need to be configured manually since they automatically register themselves in the SLD:
¡ SAP Basis systems as of Release 4.0B
¡ All SAP Web AS ABAP systems
¡ SAP Web AS Java systems as of Release 6.40
You do not need to maintain data about SAP software components and products that a system contains since their data already exists in the component repository, which is delivered with the SLD. SAP technical systems automatically register themselves and report data about their installed products to the SLD by means of data supplier programs. However, if you cannot use the data supplier programs (if your Support Package level is too low, for example), you have to define SAP technical systems manually. For more information, see Manually Registering SAP Web AS ABAP Systems.
Other SAP systems (business systems, for example), which have to be registered manually.
· Third-party systems
If you have installed third-party (technical or business) systems in your system landscape, you have to register them manually in the SLD. This includes maintaining data about the software components and software products that they contain.

SLD in SAP PI

Hi All,
I started working on PI recently. I did not understand the SLD concept well and need your help.
Is SLD a separate server from SAP PI server or is it part of SAP PI server?
Will this SLD will come along with SAP PI installation or its a separate installation?
Please correct me if I am understanding the SLD in wrong way and if I am wrong with the terminology.And I have heard of Master SLD or Central SLD. Please let me know about this and the differences between local and central sld and suggest me some basic documents to understand SLD in SAP PI.
Thanks,
Swapnika

Hi Swapnika,
"The SLD is a server application that communicates with a client application by using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP)"
Server application is nothing but the SAP server, every SAP server has it's own SLD which can be treated as local SLD. it will use HTTP communication to interact with the Client's nothing but the other SAP and non-SAP systems which are configured in your SLD.
What is Central SLD and what is the difference between Central and Local SLD?
System Landscape Directory Planning Guide
Using Local and Central System Landscape Directories - SAP NetWeaver Process Integration - SAP Library
Do we have to register all SAP and non-SAP systems manually in SLD.
Yes we should register both SAP and Non-SAP systems manually in SLD.
there are 4 types of Technical and business systems in available in SLD.
Web AS ABAP : used for configuring SAP systems like SRM, CRM etc
Web AS Java : used for java systems consist of one or more instances.
Third-party : used for configuring non-SAP systems like Oracle, SQL server, Web-services etc
Stand alone Java: used for java systems that are installed on a system from an administrative perspective.

How to separate/Decentralize a SLD in SAP PI 7.3?

Hi Experts;
I have one central SLD for PID and PIQ, because during installation of PIQ was connected to SLD of the PID. My requirement is one SLD for PID and other for PIQ.
I review the following link an notes:

Entry in SLD for SAP delivered software component contents

Hi
I have a predelivered software component version ( SWCV ) ESA ECC-SE 602 which I imported into IR ( by setting the *tpz file in the appropriate folder and the imported from IR ) This worked ok. Now I have a custom SWCV - that I created in SLD. Before importing this into IR , I want to create a install time dependency from this custom SWCV pointing to the standard. SWCV.
Question is : Where is the entry in SLD for the SAP standard SWCV - i.e ESA ECC-SE 602 - without this entry - in SLD - how can I point my custom SWCV to ESA ECC-SE 602 ? Or is there any other zip file apart from the *tpz file that is available in marketplace for ESA ECC-SE 602 that I need to import into SLD ? I am stuck at the point of defining the dependency with this question.

Hi
I see that in IR , the SAP std software component has the following name ECC-SE, version 602 . But I do not see a corresponding entry for this in the software catalog in the SLD.
*Question is - should an entry be created automatically in SLD under the software catalog for all SAP delivered contents whenever the tpz file is imported into the IR ? I don't see it created in our case. What is missing ?

Difference between SAP SLD and SAP Management console

Hello,
It seems that both System landscape directory and SAP management console have some overlapping features. The services can be started or stopped in both. Is it true? Does anyone know the difference between these 2 and where does Solution manager fit in?
Thanks

Hi,
SAP SLD is the central information provider in a system landscape.this contains both Component information and Landscape description.COMPONENT Info in sense all the sap products and components along with their versions, And also third party products also.LANDSCAPE desc in sense the description of all the systems in particular landscape.
Example:This can shows exact idea for you.Components like CAF,Webdynpo(WD-java),BPM etc info.And the host names,Message server ports etc.Here we dont have start/stop functionality.
SAP MC provides a common framework for centralized system management. It allows you to monitor and perform basic administration tasks on the SAP system centrally, thus simplifying system administration. Using the SAP MC you can
1.Monitor and control (start, stop, or restart) the SAP system and its instances with a single tool
2.Monitor system alerts
3.Display the list of all access points to an SAP system etc.
We can see difference by looking into http://<host name>:<port>/index.html
Look and feel are also differ.
For more info you can go through these links of sap help.

Hi,
In very simple terms, BW system landscape will most probably be the same as your R/3 system landscape. It would consist of development, QA and production systems. In bigger cases, it could even be, Sandbox, Development, QA, Regression, Pre-prod, Production.
There is also a white paper on the topic which you might want to read - https://www.sdn.sap.com/sdn/developerareas/bi.sdn?contenttype=url&content=/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sapportals.km.docs/documents/a1-8-4/enterprise%20data%20warehousing%20with%20sap%20bw%20-%20an%20overview

The comunication between SLD and SAP systems.

Hi!
Here is a statement from SAP official document:
By copying the files slddest.cfg and slddest.cfg.key, you have configured TREX for integration in the System Landscape Directory (SLD).
TREX checks every five minutes whether anything has changed in the TREX system landscape and reports any changes automatically to the SLD server. If nothing has changed, TREX reports every twelve hours to the SLD server. This allows you to see that this landscape is still active.
I wonder whether all other SAP systems communicate with SLD in the same fashion as above? If NOT , what is different?
Thanks for clarification.

Hi,
This is how it exchanges data with ABAP and JAVA based systems -

Solution manager, SLD and SAP MC

Hello,
It seems that both System landscape directory and SAP management console have some overlapping features. The services can be started or stopped in both. Is it true? Does anyone know the difference between these 2 and where does Solution manager fit in?

We can stop, start SAP services from NWA. Now we cannot say Netweaver, NWA and MMC are similar...
MMC is a tool/enviroment provided by microsoft for starting stopping services, managing user rights, security settings, policies and so on...
this can never be compared with SAP Environment for similarities.
Feel free to revert back.

Pipeline URL in SLD not shown in SAP PI

Hello PI-gurus,
I've got a problem with the SLD PipeLine URL data of a Business System and the SAP PI Integration Engine Configuration Data.
I've changed in SLD the name of the Pipeline URL in the Integration tab
of the Business System of SAP PI. Saved the entry and after restarted SLD and SAP PI Istill see in SAP PI the wrong (old) name.
When I perform in SAP PI (SXMB_ADM) the Global Configuration Data and
do a System Landscape - Load Configuration the wrong (old) entry is set in
SAP PI. When I look in SLD the name of the Pipeline URL is correct.
I've also refreshed all the caches in de exchangeProfile and also in the ID en IR.
Please advise.
Best regards,
Mike Laanen

The RFC between SAP PI and SLD is working correct, an other strange thing is that the sldcheck provides the same wrong (old) name in the section:
Calling function LCR_GET_BS_DETAILS
Retrieving data from the SLD server...
Function call terminated sucessfully
Details of own business system TXE100
caption = TXE100
product = SAP NETWEAVER
IS-URL = http<b>:/</b><host>:<port>/sap/xi/engine?type=entry

SAP third party Pre-delivered SLD Content - Product and SWCVs

Here is the thread content until now -
Hi All,
I have been working on integration of our product with SAP. We wanted our SLD objects for the product and the swcs to be delivered as part of SAP's pre-delivered SLD content, so that the client could simply import our design objects in to their PI landscape (Similar to how SAP provides PI content on service market place. We do have partnership with SAP and this product integration was not yet certified by SAP. However, they SAP agreed to supply our product and SWCs as part of the standard SAP CIM modal content).
How ever, even when we gave our SLD export to SAP, when the latest CIM modal for SLD from SAP got released, we were surprised to see that, our product and SWCvs are created with the vendor name "sap.com". This absolutely makes our product and swcvs unusable as we would not be able to look at them in the SPROXY on application systems. This was the same case with an older client that I worked with too..!! Any one had similar experience with this? Shouldn't SAP
be creating them with vendor as "<vendor>.com"? At least, our product is not owned by SAP..!!
We all know that, if sap.com is the vendor for SLD objects, only SAP could provide the proxy implementations through an SAP support pack.
Could someone from SAP PI Techies understand my point and care to respond?

2LIS_03_BX- Initial Stock/Material stock
2LIS_03_BF - Material movements
2LIS_03_UM - Revaluations/Find the price of the stock
The first DataSource (2LIS_03_BX) is used to extract an opening stock balance on a
detailed level (material, plant, storage location and so on). At this moment, the opening
stock is the operative stock in the source system. "At this moment" is the point in time at
which the statistical setup ran for DataSource 2LIS_03_BX. (This is because no
documents are to be posted during this run and so the stock does not change during this
run, as we will see below). It is not possible to choose a key date freely.
The second DataSource (2LIS_03_BF) is used to extract the material movements into
the BW system. This DataSource provides the data as material documents (MCMSEG
structure).
The third of the above DataSources (2LIS_03_UM) contains data from valuated
revaluations in Financial Accounting (document BSEG). This data is required to update
valuated stock changes for the calculated stock balance in the BW. This information is
not required in many situations as it is often only the quantities that are of importance.
This DataSource only describes financial accounting processes, not logistical ones. In
other words, only the stock value is changed here, no changes are made to the
quantities. Everything that is subsequently mentioned here about the upload sequence
and compression regarding DataSource 2LIS_03_BF also applies to this DataSource.
This means a detailed description is not required for the revaluation DataSource.

Can there be more than one transport targets for a business system in sld

Hi All,
I have a question about transport targets in sld for sap xi 3.0 sp19.
We have a requirement where a business system needs to have two transport targets.In SLD i see that only one transport target can be assigned. Is there any way to assign more than one transport target to a business system?
I know that there can be more than one source for a business system where more than one different business systems have the same business system as the target.
I am not sure if a business system can have more than one transport target .If yes , what is the way to add more than one ?
Please help .
Thanks,
Padmaja

Hello,
I know that there can be more than one source for a business system where more than one different business systems have the same business system as the target.
As far as I know, you would have to change the target everytime you will transport it to a different target e.g 3 target systems = 3 times you change the transport target in SLD.

Mark

Connection from one PI 7.0 system to 2 SAP R/3 systems

Hi XI Experts,
There is a requirement as below:
I am using PI 7.0 system. This system has to be connected to 2 R/3 systems paralelly. That means, one XI system should be connected to 2 R/3 systems. Request you to suggest the best possible ways to do make this happen.
Please note that , PI system will have to connect to one 4.6C system(R/3) and one SAP ECC 6.0(R/3) system.
Kindly advise.
Regards,
Subbu

Hi
Yes,you can integrate multiple sap systems with PI.
1) Create a automatic Technical system for 4.6C system(R/3) using RZ70 in 4.6c...then create a business system for this.
2) Create a automatic tecnical system in sld for SAP ECC 6.0(R/3) system using rz70 in ecc and create a business system for this.
3) Also create TS & BS if any non sap applications are involved.
use this Business systems as per the interface requirements for sender & receiver
