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?
Regards
Guilherme

How to link XI-Development to the central SLD on XI-Production?

Hi,
we have a two systems landscape with XI-DEV and XI-PROD.
So far, we have used the SLD on XI-DEV.
Now we want to use one central SLD that is running on XI-PROD for all developments on XI-DEV.
What is necessary to to that (any documentation available?
1. First we have done an export/import to copy all technical and business systems to the central SLD.
2. Then we have set the following parameters in the exchange profile (Section Connections) of XI-DEV:
   com.sap.aii.connect.cr.name: Host of XI-PROD
   com.sap.aii.connect.cr.httpport: Port of XI-PROD
   com.sap.aii.connect.landscape.name: Host XI-PROD
   com.sap.aii.connect.landscape.httpport: Port XI-PROD SLD
3. Now we have done an SLD data cache cleanup.
4. TEST: I have created a new business system in the SDL (XI-PROD) to check, if this business system is available in the integration builder on XI-DEV. If i try to assign a new business system, I got the error message:<b>Access to object list of type "BusinessSystem" using the InternalEOAService BusinessSystemAccessor failed</b>.
Also i get the error: <b>"No connection to SLD"</b> if i try to compare the adapter-specific entries of a business system with the SLD.
What is the reason? What steps are missing?
Do i need to maintain transactions like LCRSERVADDR (server address of landscape directory?) and SLDAPICUST or anything else??
Thanks for any help!

Chris,
Follow the OSS Notes
720717: Reduce the number of System Landscape Direcotries (SLD) &
768148: Using a separate SLD for XI
This should solve your problem.

Migration of local SLD to Central SLD on different host.

Hello Experts,
We have migrate the local SLD existing on the SAP PI System to a new Central SLD on a different host on SAP Solution Manager system.
I followed the OSS Note 720717, which contains the description of the changes that have to be exectued in the SAP XI/PI Environment, during the SLD Migration. This note does not give any details of the description of changes for the other SAP Systems such as SAP ECC, BI etc registered in the SLD.
Can anyone provide the OSS Notes, SAP Doc URL or the steps on how to migrate the local SLD existing on SAP XI/PI System to the new Central SLD on the SAP Solution Manager system.
Thanks for help in advance.
Best Regards,
Haleem

Firstly
I recommend to avoid having 1 SLD for multiple clients - like Solution Manager, BI, ECC
This is because clients may end up having conflicting requirements for the same SLD
- for example the small user group for Solution Manager may have a flexible and easy going policy on J2EE downtime
- but if you take down the Solution Manager J2EE that houses the SLD and PI uses this SLD - then you could have a severe affect on PI useage
Secondly
Although you can migrate content - this still does not guarantee the target landscape will work
- you may still need to manually re-implement target landscape configuration
let me give you an example
SLD 1 is being moved to SLD 2
Portal 1 is pointing to SLD 1
Even if you migrate the content of SLD 1 - including the ECC and Portal technical system landscape information
Portal 1 is still pointing to SLD 1 - this then needs to be manually re-pointed to SLD2
and that might not be all the complete steps either !
The complete steps of migration from the client side may not be available (I have found only steps to
migrate SLD content not migrate client use of the SLD)
- they may only be available as the documentation for the original configuration steps required to step SLD and the client
- therefore when migrating SLD you must go through the client setup documentation for SLD and check your
target landscape is consistent
Lastly - other considerations include
Lets say you also export model and CIM content from SLD 1 to SLD 2 - this means SLD 2 has an import line from SLD 1
- if you decomission SLD1 then you need to switch the import line which is not recommended - this could cause severe problems and may require you to create a new import line to upload content from SAP /swdc (which you need to keep the SLD bug free and latest definitions)
Just a few thoughts on issues you may encounter

PI SLD versus Central SLD

If I have a local SLD installed on PI what is the best practice for the location of a central SLD?
Should it be on the PI instance or on a CEN monitor SLD like Solution Mgr?
Thanks
Mikie B

Hi Mike,
SLD on PI can done but we need to follow perfect system setttings
here is link and .pdf that might u to slove ue issue

Central SLD Configuration

Dears,
Recently we installed PI DEV and PI QAS server.At time of configuration we choose local SLD option for configuration.
But now we are getting requirement to configure central SLD.
So please confirm which strategy is good between them and if it is central SLD,Please suggest the
procedure to change local SLD configuration to central SLD.
Shivam

Hi Shivam
The SLD planning guide provided previously is the key source to plan, implement and run an SLD landscape
However what it may not deal with specifically is changing an existing SLD landscape to accomodate a local PI specific
SLD and a new Central SLD for Solution Manager (or other purposes)
Some things to consider when selecting Sync options
1) 1 Dual purpose SLD is not recommended - a central SLD might have different administration requirements than a PI specific SLD
2) Where possible do not change established import or export lines in either SLD
3) Keep all SLDs involved in the sync at the same J2EE version, SP landscape and CIM model/content
As the PI SLD can be productive critical - full consideration has to be given to this SLD as you can
still maintain systems manually in a central SLD manually - or indeed in Solution Manager itself (both manually and automatically via RFC) - therefore I would recommend a unidirectional sync from local PI SLD to Central SLD of PI landscape data only - either manually or automatically or indeed explore any available options to have data suppliers update both SLDs (there was some options similiar to this in older SLD versions - but I am not completely familiar with the latest SLD builds)
I would not however encourage full sync or CIM based sync as there maybe established CIM import lines on either SLD nor would I specifically encourage the Central SLD to influence data on the Local existing PI SLD

Difference Between Central SLD & Local SLD

Hi All,
Q1) What is the Difference Between Central SLD & Local SLD.
Q2) Maintaining Individual SLD For DEV, QTY, PRD Servers is the Best One Or Maitaining the Single SLD is the Best One ????
Please Ans These Two Q's
Regards
Vamsi

> 2. Maintaining individual SLD for DEV, QTY & PRD
> will be better approach. We follow this approach.
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.

Migrate local SLDs to a centralized SLD

We are in a big SAP project with one full landscape for each new SAP product (e.g. SRM, ECC, EP, BI, etc.)
We have a centralized SLD on a SM7.0.
We have 2 options when installing each system:
1) use the centralized SLD for each new install
2) use the local SLD for each new install, then change all local SLDs to the centralized SLD.
What will be the pros and cons of each option?
Thanks!

Hello Linda,
Eventually ,you want to register your systems to the central SLD.
You can do it in both ways,but during installation when you select the option of Configure a Local SLD SAPinst says that it will take longer time ,thats it no other issues.
So best is that you register your systems to Cenral/Remote SLD.The remote SLD should be running and available at that time.
Have a look at this blog /people/boris.zarske/blog/2008/03/21/sld-general-recommendation-how-to-set-up-the-system-landscape-directory , it will give you more wider view of planning the SLD.

What is the best way to link 4 Airport units together wirelessly?

Hi guys,
I have a home with tick walls and creating a decent wireless network was always a challenge. Recently I’ve decided to go for Apple products since I had a 4th gen airport express that worked well for airplay.
I bought a new time capsule, airport extreme, and one airport express. So in total I have 4 apple devices that I can use for creating a good wireless network. But what I found out is that having a full signal doesn’t mean that you will have good speeds, and speeds are really slow like 3Mb/s max on some places on the house.
The way that everything is configured at the moment is that I’ve configured the time capsule to be the main router and with the other three I’ve spreaded them over my house and selected the option to extend a wireless network using Airport Utility 6.2 on OSX.
What is strange that I have a full signal on almost all corners but very bad speeds. I did some research and found a tool that would show what the less crowded channel that you can choose for you wireless network (http://tools.meraki.com/stumbler)
In all my experience of extending a wireless network I’ve always used routers with DD-WRT so I could select the router to be a repeater bridge (and have two distinct networks, with different names) or link the routers with WDS linking them using the MAC address. In both cases all the documentation I’ve read recommended to set all routers of the same network with the same channel.
When I used the stumbler tool to see what channel my network was, since it was set as automatic because it’s the recommendation of Apple documentation, I found out that all 4 routers were operating on different channel on both 2.4Ghz frequencies and 5Ghz frequencies.
What is strange with the wireless network is that sometimes when it is really slow the speed of the internet, if I disconnect from the wireless network and connect again it gets a better connection, like I was connection to a closer router. But after sometime speeds get crappy again, like it changed to the far router again.
My question is, what is the best way to link all this routers together wirelessly? Is there a way to make them to be all on the same channel? Is that important?
On the Airport Utility 6.2 I don’t see any field that would make possible to link this routers using WDS. On the internet I found some documentation for configuring the routers with WDS with the Airport Utility 5.6.
All my routers are updated to the latest version (7.6.3). Please let me know how to proceed to have a decent network on my house. I wouldn’t mind having the network set with different SSIDs but it would be better to use the same network name on all the house.
Thanks in advance,
Tiago

At the moment it is configured like this.
[IMG]http://img254.imageshack.us/img254/6403/capturadetela20130210s2.png[/IMG]
My problem is that the signal its strong but speed isn’t. On Wifi stumbler I saw that every router is set to be on a different channel, they had to be the same no?
If its really slow if I disconnect and connect again from the network. It gets faster, like it connected to a closer router or something.
All are set to extend a wireless network.

T

Need Suggestion on Central SLD System

Hi Experts,
I need a help/ suggestion on deciding the Central SLD system in our landscape. In our current SAP System landscape we do not have XI Servers for Central SLD, So we are using Solution Manager 7.01 as the Central SLD for the new Installations and including the old Systems too. But We came to know that SAP does not recommend using Solution Manager as the productive SLD System.
So we have stopped the process of including old systems to Solution Manager now and we decided to build the system for central SLD which is recommended by SAP. So please suggest me which system is more recommended by SAP like EP/ ECC/ NW or any other.
Thanks.

PI 7.1 and central SLD

Hello, colleagues.
We have already central SLD based on SAP Solution Manager (SM+ERP systems). Now we plan to setup PI 7.1 (three-system configuration).
Should we include PI-systems in the central SLD or organize second separate SLD for PI-systems?
We have some doubts about it and cannot yet make right decision.
Can we hear your suggestions of this matter?

Hi,
Personally I recommand to have at least two SLD for PI systems: one for PI prod, and another for PI non-prod (dev, Qua, Pre-prod). As your current SLD is linked to ERP, I presume it has a high criticity, so for me I think you can use it for your PI prod.
Or you can have only one central SLD (yours) which populate the local SLD of each PI, by synchronization.
with SLD, there are several choices, but keep in mind that for the SLD of PI prod, it should have a "hight" criticity. If its SLD is shut down, PI can work only during several minutes without SLD info... thanks to its SLD cache, but after that PI exchanges are down.
Regards.

Moving Central SLD from XI Development to XI Production ?

Hi,
Please advise what is the impact of changing Central SLD from XI Development to XI Production Server.
Because during initial installation the XI production still not available so our Basis only install SLD in our XI development server and other SAP development like FI, BW also pointing to this SLD.
now the XI production is ready. could i just install new SLD in production and changes all connection from
dev to prod ?
Please advise on the step that i have to do.
Thank you and best Regards

Central SLD and Webdynpro

Dear all,
I have a new EP 6.0 installation running ESS/MSS and BW reporting and implemented central SLD.The SLD server was the CEN Solution Manager system. Because of some issues with support pack application in the solution manager system, the solution manager system was unavailable for a week. As the Webdynpro JCOs that are used in ESS/MSS use SLD, ESS/MSS in my portal systems became unavailable for my users. I had to configure local SLDs for each portal system to avoid the application downtime
I am wondering what people are doing out there to avoid what happened to me: High Availability? Seems a bit over the top as we do not have HA for our mySAP ERP production system which is the most important system of the landscape. Any other thoughts or SAP recommendations would be very much appreciated
Many thanks
Andreas

Hi,
Ofcourse HA should be one of the strategies you should think about. But now that you don't have it in place and cause for downtime is something like upgrade or maintenance, which is unavoidable, you can maintain the ECC system (HCM System) in your SLD, point the JCo Connections to your ECC system and thereby you should be able to use ESS-MSS. This won't take more that an hour, trust me.
Would also like to know what's your User Management Strategy ? If you are using the solution manager as your datasource for user management on portal, then you can hardly do anything.
Cheers,
Sunil

Local SLD not updating a central SLD

Hi,
In my company landscape, I have
SolMan7.1 with Central SLD (Let's call this SLDA)
Portal 7.02 with local SLD (Let's call this SLDB)
ECC6
Both the Portal and ECC systems are updating SLDB, so I can see both technical systems in SLDB.
SolMan is updating SLDA, so I can see SolMan technical system in SLDA.
I linked SLDB to SLDA via
From SLDB> administration> data suppliers --> add SLDA
For this setting, I use the user SLDDSUSER, which have a role LcrInstanceWriterAll.
The problem now is SLDA does not get the data from SLDB. In SLDA, I see only the SolMan Technical System.
How often does SLDB update SLDA? Can we manually trigger an update SLDB->SDLA?
How can we troubleshoot the SLDB -> SLDA update?
What else needs to be configured other than "From SLDB> administration> data suppliers --> add SLDA" ?
Thanks
Edited by: Nick Foo on Sep 27, 2011 3:53 AM

Hi Sunny,
yes I have done those steps. Very short and easy setup steps to link to another SLD.
OK, just one thing to confirm here.
After Add SLD, the SLD URL syntax should be http://host:port correct?
I have tried all sorts of entires for the URL
http://host:port
http://host:port/sld
http://host:port/
All not working
Checked the user, user is ok, even tried giving the user Administrator role and still not working

Central SLD Information

Hi
We have ERP, PI , BI and EP Systems out of which all are three system landscape. Can you please suggest the sld configuration for these systems. We also have a Solution Manager . Now my question is how to configure SLD in this Land scape . while installing all system i have choose configure local SLD.
While doing integration between PI and ECC , PI asked for SLD and includes ECC.
while doing EP with ECC EP there need to be created as SLD .
finally Salmon SLD configured .
here what is my central SLD ...
Thanks in Advance

Hi,
the typical config would be to use one central SLD based on your solman and connect all other systems to use this one
second good option would be to have one central SLD on solman and for all systems but have one local SLD just for PI systems (dev PI linked to DEV SLD, TEST PI to TEST SLD) and only PRD PI linked to solman's PRD SLD
this all depends on how complex your intergration landscape will be and is it allowed to connect dev system to prd (dev PI to PRD SLD) as some companies do not allow that
BTW
you can change the SLD config at any point in time - this is not any constant connection

Michal Krawczyk
