Central SLD setup

Question

Hi
We have a freshly installed landscape comprising of Solutiona Manager 4.0,EP 7.0,ECC 6.0,BI 7.0.(I am new to netweaver)
We need to setup a central SLD on the solution manager system.Also there is a requirement to monitor all system form the solution manager
NWA.
Currently when I log onto NWA the follwing error messages are shown
system Landscape Directory is not accessible!
Only Local system can be administered!
Could someone tell me the steps to setup the SLD(ie connect different systes),setup central NWA and some basic concepts.
As far as I understand SLD data supplier is used for communication between the j2ee engines.
so for eg: for a pure Java stack like EP is it enough to give the logon details of Solution manager in SLD Data supplier of Ep's Visual administrator..?
Please help.
thanks

Hai,
      It is better to mention the central SLD server details during the installation process in the phase,Registration in System Landscape Directory(central SLD,local SLD,no SLD)
We need to setup a central SLD on the solution manager system.Also there is a requirement to monitor all system form the solution manager
NWA.----
> Maintain the Central SLD as Solutionmanager system.Login into the other system and go to Visual Administrator(c:\usr\sap\SID\DVEBMGS<instno>\j2ee\admin\go.bat)->Server->Services->SLD Data Supplier-> In the tabRuntime, HTTP Settings->Give the host name of the Central SLD system(Solman),Port number, SLDDSUSER,and password and save the settings and then in the
CIM Client Generation Settings->Give the hostname of the Central SLD system,port number,SLDDSUSER and Password,save the settings and click on the CIMClient Test to check the CIM Test.
Once the CIMTest is successful,
Click on the button(Assign application roles to user groups) and also on the button (trigger datatransfer to System Landscape Directory(SLD)),this transfer the settings to the Central SLD system.
Thanks and Regards,
