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.

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

  • Central SLD Configuration - SXMB_ADMIN

    Hi Guys.
    I've serached the the forum but can not find exactly what I am looking for. I have installed a DEV SRM and XI system and a QAS SRM and XI system. I have set up the DEV XI system as the Central SLD. My question is in the post steps for QAS XI. Under tcode SXMB_ADMIN, for the Integration Engine Configuration, what should I define as the Role of the Business System for this system?

  • How to configure PI for Central SLD ?

    HI Guys,
    we have installed PI 7.0 NW2004s SR2 and now we need to configure the syatem as Central SLD.  can any body breifly explain how to do this ?
    any help would be really appreciated
    Thanks,
    srini

    Hi srinivas...
    As for my understanding ...you need to do post installation to configure your PI server,,,,
    Goto http://<Host>:<port>/nwa
    There you find the administration --> Click on DEPLOYandCHANGE Tab
    righthand side corner you find the Templates...select the PI...
    click on Execute template ....
    finally click on install button...It will perform all the necessary action to configure PI server...
    I hope this might help you..

  • 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.

  • SLD Configuration - Technical System and Business System

    Hello,
    I have installed SAP Solution Manager with local SLD and i want to use this system as Central SLD for my System Landscape. Later on i have installed other SAP Products like ECC,BI,PI etc.
    Some of the systems i registered with previously defined SLD in Solution Manager, but some system i forgot to register with SLD during installation.
    I am not sure or aware what is the difference between SLD configuration during installation and after installation.
    If i have Register the System during installation will it register automatically with SLD or we have to do manually.
    If i have not register system during installation and later on i want to register particular system with SLD what is procedure for that.
    Can some one share knowledge on What is Technical Systems and Business System in SLD Configuration, i tried to do some activity for SLD Configuration but after seeing above both terms i was confused so for time being i stopped this activity.
    Looking forward for kind response.

  • 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

  • XI installation with central SLD

    Hello,
    I have installed solution manger to generate key for XI installation. But, when i in stall solution manager, it installed MaxDB and local SLD and also i think WEBAS ABAP. After that i generated the key.
    And, I am installing XI on the same host. There is no configuration as such i did.I tried to use the same solution manger DB, but i t failed. So i started with New DB creation. And central SLD........
    Is there any configurations that i need to do to install XI with our any errors.
    When i used existing SLD, is there any configuration i have to do.
    More important, i have to install solution manager and XI on same host
    Can anybody any issues here.
    Please advice,
    Srini

    This should be straight forward.
    If the SLD is set up for Sol Man, you enter these details on the in the installation wizard.
    You will need seperate SIDs and you will need to assign the Virtual host names for each installation.
    You will need to check the SLD config after install.  the two sm59 conenctions - LCRSAPRFC & SAPSLDAPI, the sldapicust, the JCo Connections in Visual Admin and the SLD Data Supplier in Visual ADmin.

  • Connection to central SLD through out the landscape.

    Dear Basis gurus,
    We have installed ERP 6.0, XI, EP, BI 7.0 systems, we decided to configure central SLD in the XI system.
    EP, BI systems are configured with SLD a local configuration. we need to connect them to central SLD which is there in the XI system.
    I would be greatful to you , if you can provide any guidance how to connect local SLDs which is there in BI, EP to the XI SLD.
    Thanks and Regards
    Purna.

    From the ABAP backend systems go to RZ70 and specify the Host and Service of the PI system in the section SLD Bridge
    Once done your schedule the Data collection using the execute button
    For the JAVA part
    Open Visual Admin from the backend systems
    Go to Server0->Services->SLD Datasupplier
    You supplied all the required info like "Hostname " portname etc.
    After giving all this information , try to initiate a Data transfer using the icon there(above the runtime tab) its like a arrow pointing downwards.
    After clicking on that icon wait for sometime and see whether you get the message "Data transfered sucessfully"

  • SLD configuration for DXI / PXI technical systems

    Hello,
    we have a problem when transporting XI configuration objects from XI dev to XI prod. The transport objects arrive in XI prod, but the name of the business system (for the SAP backend system) is not converted from dev business system (T01CLNT010) to prod business system (P01CLNT01) although the transport target for T01CLNT010 business system was set correctly (we are using business system groups Dev and Prod). And the "related integration server" for T01CLNT010 was also set correctly to DXICLNT010.
    But then I noticed that the technical system for the DXI (XI Dev) is configured as follows:
    TMS Domain ("DOMAIN_PXI") and TMS Transport Group Name GROUP_PXI ("GROUP_PXI") have the same values as PXI. Is that correct ?? We are using file transport, not CMS.
    Another strange effect is that when I set the group in business system DXICLNT010 to Dev, that is also applied to business system PXICLNT010 ! Which is of course not what I want.
    I assume I have to associate DXICLNT010 to Dev and PXICLNT010 to Prod, same as for T01CLNT010 / P01CLNT010. Correct ? Or does the group in the XI business systems not matter ?
    Can anyone post an example of a working SLD configuration with two XI system dev and prod ? What values do I have to use in the XI technical and business systems, so that the transport will work ?
    CSY

    There's obviously something wrong in the SLD configuration for the exchange infrastructure systems. The error you're describing (one system pointing to another) usually occurs when one system is generated through homogeneous system copy of another system (was that your case?). I've seen that behaviour once and they corrected it by manually deleting the exchange infrastructure systems from SLD and creating them again from scratch.
    Anyway, I highly recommend you to get an expert NW Basis consultant to realize a check in it before you proceed any further.
    Aside of that, you're correct in your assumptions.
    Your config in SLD should be like:
    DEV_GROUP:
    - DXI
    - T01
    PRD_GROUP:
    - PXI
    - P01
    It's always 1 XI BS per group.
    Also, if you use separate SLDs for XI Dev and XI Prd, you have to make sure that this configuration is reflected in both SLDs. So, if you make it one SLD instance, you must generate a delta export zip file from the SLD where you did the configuration and import this zip file in the other SLD instance.
    If you use a central SLD, then it's not necessary.

    Henrique.

  • 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

  • Instalation help Central SLD  parameters connection

    Hi Dear All,
    I am installing solman 4.0 SR1 on Windows 2003 and Microsoft SQL.
    during the instalation i got a screen which iam not aware of please help me
    The scren says :

    PASSWORD:
    Please help what i have to choose and where i can find the relavent information.
    kind regards,
    Vamsi.

    Hi,
    For SLD configuration during installation,
    SLD HTTP HOST - can be any name need not be your computer name. E.g <SID>SLD or <SID>SLDSRV or something like that.
    SLD HTTP PORT - the port would be 50<instancenumber>00
    eg:- 500100 where 01 is instance number.
    as SLDDATA SUPPLIER USER and SLD ABAP API USER are automatically populated. just maintain your password.
    That's it.
    This will solve your problem. Feel free to revert back.

  • Switching from central SLD to local SLD

    Hello,
    i have installed BI Java with central sld.
    Could I switch back from cetral sld to local sld?
    I didn't find any documentation or posts.
    Thanks,
    Sabrina

    Hi,
    Yes you can change the SLD configuration from  local to central  or a vice versa...
    Please check the following SAP Note for your reference
    Note 720717 - Reduce the number of System Landscape Directories (SLD)

  • 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

  • Local sld pull from central sld

    We are in the process of configuring a brand new sp19 solution manager server. We have a central sld on a dedicated server with several systems already registered on it  I created a local sld on the new solution manager server. I want to pull the systems from this central sld server into the solution manager server, but cant' seem to find any documentation on how to do it.
    I've read the SLD planning guide, the sld post-installation guide,, and the sld user guide. If there are any steps that document how to do this, I've missed them.
    Can anybody help?
    --Carl

    On your central SLD: Administration -> Data Suppliers -> Add SLD...
    Type in URL, valid user and pass and that should be it. It works this way on SLD based on NW70.
