1 Product has Many S/W Components
we import S/W in IR and work with them...
The product SAP R/3 Enterprise, which represents an SAP technical component, has, among other things, a product version SAP R/3 Enterprise Core 4.7. The software unit that represents the functions of this product version has the same description as the product version. Various software components (or versions) fill the functions of this software unit. These software components (or versions) are, among others, SAP Basis 6.20, SAP HR 4.70, and SAP Enterprise Retail 1.10.

How to create Product, Software Component..after the XI Installation

Hi Experts,
SAP XI was installed completely. After this, I would like to test some sample File File scenario. But I am not sure, how to create the Product, Software Component etc. I am able to login and run the SXMB_IFR to get the XI tools.
Can some one please provide the initial steps / procedure, what else I need to do (like creating Product, Software Component etc) as soon as the XI installation was finished.
Thanks in advance.
Sree

hi Sree,
You can create this in SLD>Software Catalog>new Software component and create the SWC with the new version.
As you know, the SWC acts as place holder for all your design objects. In simple terms, the newer version will be an enhancement to your older released version with added functionality.
Also refer to the following links on help.sap.com for more detailed explanation and look for the compatibility changes when developing a new software component version.

Thank and Regards,

Is there any DC checked in?

Unable to read software component version from System Landscape Directory "

I've worked in past creating/importing SWCV, but this is new system PI7.0 and stuck.
A) Is my understanding on resolution correct?
Should I go and apply notes 940309 and create client copy of existing client 001
 OR
change role of client 001; SXMB_ADMIN -> 'Integration Engine Configuration' to 'Integration Server'
I have no problem in using client 001 as Integration server, all I want is import of SWCV to work. Thanks. Appreciate the help.
B) Here is what I have done and the error:
1) Followed weblog below and created product, software component, technical system, business sytem in SLD.
/people/srinivas.vanamala2/blog/2007/02/05/step-by-step-guide-xml-file-2-xml-file-scenario-part-i
2) When I import the SWC from integration repository getting error
(Unable to read software component version from System Landscape Directory "server:5<system number>00").
C) Pointers used from the forum to debug the issue, but still no luck
Below are the points checked from the forum and all steps are correct, but still have issues with the import
1) check the RFCs SAPSLDAPI, LCRSAPRFC, connection test pass as the program ID registered with Jco
2) T-code SLDCHECK no errors (followed http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/de/78/20244134a56532e10000000a1550b0/content.htm)
3) T-code SLDAPICUST got user PIAPPLUSER, pwd is correct (reset the pwd)
4) logged using PIAPPLUSER http://server:port/sld and it works
5) One of the weblog SLD Check Failed (LCR_LIST_BUSINESS_SYSTEMS function doesn't work) referred to apply notes 940309
Notes: 940309
You are installing 'SAP NetWeaver 2004s SR1 ABAP+Java' Usage Type 'NetWeaver Process Integration (PI)'.
You don't want to use the default client 001, but another client as Integration Server.

applied portion (PIPostInstallProcess) of OSS notes 940309 and it resolved.
Note:
I still retained client 001 and didn't do client copy as mentioned in the notes. The wizard based CTC tool helped. Here are the details if someone has similar issue and want to know further details:
A NetWeaver Process Integration (PI) Installation (ABAP+Java) has two parts: Installation and configuration. The former is done by the Installer, the latter by the 'Central Template Configuration' (CTC) Tool.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/14/39084136b5f423e10000000a155106/frameset.htm
1. Call the wizard-based configuration tool as described in Configuration Wizard.
 2. Select the scenario PI and the task PIPostInstallProcess.
 3. Choose Execute.
A list of the steps to be executed by the wizard is displayed.
 4. Choose Install.

Transport products and software component version

Hi,
I created a Products and its Software Component Version in System Landscape Directory of XI development.
I imported this Software Component Version into Integration Builder and developed design and configuration objects.
The scenario is completed and now I want to transport the Products and Software Component Version to XI Production.
Could someone please explain the transport procedure.

Hi Shravan,
Thanks four your instructions. I would like to have more details on the export/import procedure. Please confirm the following steps are correct:
From SLD of XI development:
1/ Edit new product and its software component version.
2/ Click on icon Export: XI generates a zip file and downloads it in c drive.
From SLD of XI Production:
1/ Select Import utility under system catalog.
2/ Browse and select the zip file
In XI production there are existing third party products, and I do not want the transport of this new product causes any problem.
Design and configuration objects will be exported/import ed after the successful transport of product and software component version transport.
Regards,
Daniel

Change the Production state of Software Component in SLD

Hello,
I cannot see the list of software component to add in Dev Configuration because the Production State of software component is in Planned state and to appear in the list it should be in Devlopment state.
How do I change the state. When I login to SLD i dont see the edit mode to change it.
Thanks
PS: I did not realize there is separate NWDI forum. I also asked the same question in Web Dynpro forum.

Hi,
if the question is about, why the custom developed software is not visible in "CMS - Landscape Configurator - Track Data tab" when pressing the button "Add SC...", then please answer:
Did you trigger "Update CMS" after creating the software in SLD? You can do it in the CMS webui - Landscape Config - Domain Data tab.

Ervin (http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/TechTSG/%28NWDI%29Home)

Export Software Component only without Product in SLD ?

Hi,
Can I just export software component only from SLD without product included in the zip file ?
Because currently either you export from product or software component both will be export all the component product and software component.
Thank you and Regards
Fernand

Hi kubra,
I cannot export product and software component separately.
whenever i click button export either for product or software component both including related product or software component.
Product :
--> click export button (Hint : Export this product including all the software component).
Software Component.
--> click export button (Hint : Export this component, including the associated product and all other software component version for this product).
any other way to export separately ?

Some Software Component Versions do not show up in transaction sproxy

I have a landscape with a CRM system, a PI system (with the SLD on it) and some other systems.
In transaction sproxy in the CRM system the Software Component Version SAP CRM ABAP 7.0 shows up, but others that should be there like SAP ABA 7.01 are not there.
So I went on the SLD and edited the technical system for the CRM system, I added the product SAP CRM 7.00 and set the checkmark for installed for the relevant SWCVs like SAP ABA 7.01.
I then went to the business system for the relevant CRM client and there also checked those SWCVs.
But still they do not show up in transaction sproxy in the CRM system.
What am I missing?

Creating a new DC in existing software component

Hi,
I am trying to create new DC in a software component that is custom developed.
You can consider this as a totally build product and I want to extend the features implementing new DC.
I am able to import the development components, and when I try to create a new DC in the configuraition pool, I am anot able to select the vendor from the Vendor dropdown.
Can some one explain how to do this?
Is it possible to keep the software component as is, but copy the same to a custom namespace (with new vendor name newvendor.com) and create a dc in it. This way i can change the sc as is and make changes on new SC.
Please suggest.
Thanks and regards,
Chinnu

Hi Satya,
Thankyou for quick response.
I did not create any namespace prefixes in SLD.
Can you give me some clarity about name spaces? I am not very clear about the same.
About the SC i am trying to modify, it is not SAP deliverd SC, instead created under custom vendor name and I am able to import the DCs and hopefully check in the same.
Also, after seeing your reply, I checked for any available namespaces in SLD, and all I can see is sap.com/home etc., which are owned by SAP.
Do I have to create a new namespace with the vendor name to create new DCs?
Also, I get this error message when trying to create a new DC:
Syntax of 'sap.com/home/NewDC' is not valid: Name suffix must be spelled lower case: home/NewDC
Please suggest.
Thanks and regards,
Chinnu

Software component

Hi all,
could anyone give me some idea on what are the mandatory fields while we creating software component in sld( give me idea what is the UNIT field while we creatinmg SWCV)
regards
Joshi

HI Joshi
YOu mean to say Software Unit..
If yes Software unit is a particular aspect of the Product functions.It is a logical link between the product version and the software component version.
A product version consists of multiple software units. These units are implemented by various software components (or versions).
The product SAP R/3 Enterprise, which represents an SAP technical component, has, among other things, a product version SAP R/3 Enterprise Core 4.7. The software unit that represents the functions of this product version has the same description as the product version. Various software components (or versions) fill the functions of this software unit. These software components (or versions) are, among others, SAP Basis 6.20, SAP HR 4.70, and SAP Enterprise Retail 1.10.
To know more about Software Unit, please see page 30 onwards of the help file of SLD by going on this link:
http://<xiserver name>:<port>/sld/doc/sld.pdf
This help file will give you information about Software Unit if PI 7.0 is installed on your machine.
