Question on SLD

Dear All,
We have two SLDs running on NW 7.0 (Non-Prod SLD and Prod SLD). We have CIM Content, Technical Landscape, Business Landscape defined in both SLDs. However we are not clear how the flow should be defined for
- CIM Content
- Technical Landscape Information
- Business Landscape Information
- Transport Path with Business Landscape defined.
We have a security policy that Production Systems and Non Production Systems to be on separate subnet to avoid any security lapse.
- We will be using SLD heavily for PI.
- Currently we are forwarding information from Non-Prod SLD to Prod SLD using Non-Prod SLD's data supplier.
- We have also defined a local SLD for Solution Manager for SMSY, Solution Manager Diagnostics, CTS+, etc.
I could not find satisfactory information both on SAP Marketplace or SDN, I thought of asking the Gurus who have implemented and actively using it extensively.
Any insight is highly appreciated.
Regards,
Ramanathan EKAMBARAM

Question about SLD and ID

Hi,
Is it possible to have an interface whose BS is of type "Party" working without having any entries for BS in SLD?
thanks

Hi,
Forget that question... ;-)... I´ve just seen the problem....
Thanks

A question about SLD

Hi Experts,
When i trying to deploy application using RFC the following error appears...
There is some thing missing in the properties of 'WD_RFC_METADATA_DEST or SLD in step 4.2 (Msg. Server) when Create new JCo Destination, The System Name and Logon Group is none .I think i make some mistakes.But what should do ?

hi cheng
go to t-code SMLG.
Most probably, there Logon Group is <blank>.
Create a logon group there.
Now go to t-code RZ70
and start the SLD Data Collector.
now you can create the JCo connection in the SLD.

Question about SLD, j2ee and solman

for the implementation aspects of solman 4.0, i.e. roadmaps, project planning, etc....do you need to have the j2ee and SLD configured for this? Currently my j2ee engine is hung. It never gets past the "starting application" part.
1|server0 |J2EE Server | 23028|Starting application
State of JControl : Some processes running
State inside MS : Some processes running
Thnx!!

Hello Drew,
For the implementation escenarios you don´t need to have the J2EE up.
For opening connections and maybe for Service Desk scenario you need to have the J2EE up and running.
If SLD is not running in SMSY ensure that the system defined has the entry Data source "system RFC"
For the Solman diagnostic of course you need the J2EE .
Check in the std_* log of work directory what is the problem with the J2EE,
you only need to look in most update files for "error" entry and search for the error

SLD import question.

Hi,
I have question regarding SLD CIM. I have two SLD which I am tranporting the SLD content.
For target SLD the CIM model version is lower than the Source SLD CIm Model.
While doing import it has given two warning, but allowed me to import.
That wanring is about Data inconsistency. I would like to know what kind of implications may happen in this case and how to resolve them.
Thanks,
Srinivas

from http://service.sap.com/swdc via the path
Support Packages and Patches->SAP Technology Components ->SAP CR CONTENT
download CR contents
then upload via: SLD -> Administration -> Import
I believe that there are two update here, they should be in sequence. Not sure if you have wrong sequence or not.
Regards.

Central SLD vs SLD for each XI instance

We are starting our SAP XI project. We are on XI 3.0 sp 9. We are trying to make a decision on which of the SLD configurations is the best for our company. We will have 3 SAP XI systems (dev, qa and Prd) should each have an SLD or should their be a central SLD? What is working for people currently in production? What are lessons learned? Thanks

Hi,
We do not have yet implemented production XI environment but as SAP IT consultant, I am thinking about system architecture design based on SAP NetWeaver platform.
So I would say for good performance, it will be better that each XI connect to its own SLD system but for system landscape maintenance I would advise to have a central SLD only if each XI systems (dev, qa and prod) communicates with the same system landscape.
You also have to think about XI object transport from dev to qa and prod...as XI design and configuration objects are based on SLD model (business system, software components) you should have the same SLD
in each environment...so in that case a central SLD could be a good option but you could also imagine as an alternative solution an SLD model replication strategy between each SLD systems
But we still have the question of SLD maintenance security and I really do not think that it is a good idea for dev purposes to allow changes in a central SLD used by an XI production system !!!
The last point is that in some NetWeaver scenario SLD is not only used by XI but also by EP - WebDynpro with JCo connection for instance - so if you would want to use other NetWeaver components I would say to have a standalone SLD system for security reason and shared efficiency.
So you should have at least two SLD systems (one for dev/qa and one for prod) but we could imagine the following architecture :
1- XI dev with its own built in SLD system which one has an SLD namespace for dev purposes (dev_namespace) as a sand box and an other namespace (rep_namespace) which is the replication of the prod landscape (prod_namespace)
2- XI qa with its own built in SLD system with only one SLD namespace (qa_namespace) as a copy of rep_namespace
3- a standalone SLD system with one namespace (prod_namespace) to share it with other NetWeaver components without the risk to break down connection in case of XI prod problems.
XI prod points to this standalone SLD
4- if you are not using others NetWeaver components, a standalone SLD for production is not useful and then production SLD is in the production XI system itself.
So that my first feeling...but still open for discussion on that important point of system architecture design.
I hope it helps you a bit to have a decision.
Greetings
Nicolas

SAP got sample exam for Developer Exam?

Want to get the feel of it, before writing the real exam.
How is the question pattern?.
How many types of questions?.
Can anybody please give me some head on?.
I know it is 80 questions 3 hrs....please don't post exam official link. Read it 1000 times.
Praveen's exam blog also read.
But never got idea, how exam look like?.
Do we have a simulated exam somewhere?.
Just want to know the pattern of exam.....Please post all help.
Points will be rewarded lavish.

Hi Ash,
Totally there will be 4 sections each section will be considered for scoring..
--> Few question on SLD-maximum 4 questions
> Few questions on IR and ID.
> Few questions on Mapping
> Few question on Adapter Engine-you wil get 20 in this part
>Few question on BPM--Maximum of 20 in BPM.
As i heard that tricky questions from Adapterengine rather than BPM.
Note:please prepare what are the jar files we have to use for java mapping and what are all the jar files are available.
Hope I am clear..!
Please let me know if you have any queries..
Thanks and Regards,
Chandu..

A quick question about WebDynpro SLD and R/3 with concurrent users

Hello ,
I have a very quick question about Webdynpros and SLD connecting to an R/3 system, when you configure a webdynpro to connect to an R/3 system using SLD, you configure a user name and password from the R/3 for the SLD to use. What I would like to know is when I have concurrent users of my webdynpro, how can I know what one user did in R/3 and what another user did? Is there a way for the users of the web dynpro to use their R/3 credentials so SLD can access the R/3? Like dynamically configuring the SLD for each user?
- I would like to avoid leaving their their passwords open in the code ( configuring two variable to get the users username and password and use these variables as JCO username and password )
Thanks Ubergeeks,
Guy

Hi Guy
You will have to use Single Sign On to achieve this. In the destination you have defined to connect to R/3 , there is an option to 'useSSO' instead of userid and password. This will ensure that calls to R/3 will be with the userid that has logged into WAS. You wont need to pass any passwords because a login ticket is generated from WAS and passed on to R/3. The userid is derived from this ticket.
For this to happen you will have to maintain a trust relation ship between R/3 and your WAS ,there is detailed documentation of this in help files. Configuration is very straight forward and is easy to perform

SLD Landscape Design Question

After reading the Planning Guide - System Landscape Directory, I am left with a question.
The Setup:
Standard three system landscape
ECC 6.0 Ehp5 on NW 7.02ECC Instances: DE1, QE1, PE1
PI 7.31
PI Instances: DP1, QP1, PP1
PI Business Systems: DE1CLNT100, QE1CLNT100, PE1CLNT100
Each PI Instance has a local SLD
Management LandscapeSolution Manager 7.1 on NW 7.02
SolMan Instance: SP1
Local SLD
LMDB
Reading through the Planning Guide, the recommendation (pg. 45, picture below) seems to be to have all systems self-report to PP1. That is, without synchronization, only PP1 knows about any systems because they all report to PP1 and do not report in to their local SLDs. The data is then sent back to DP1 & QP1 via bridge forwarding. Business Systems are manually entered into their respective local SLDs, but then have to be manually exported/imported from DP1 --> QP1 --> PP1. Once it's all gathered into PP1 again, all data is pushed to SolMan's SLD on SP1 via a unidirectional content synchronization.
If I read this correctly, then all SLD's will end up "knowing" all systems and business systems: e.g. the sld of DP1 will have entries for QP1 and PP1 and for business systems QE1CLNT100 and PECLNT100.
Earlier in the guide, I gathered that there was value in not having all of the data in Development in that there is then clear separation between non-production SLDs and production SLDs. The above recommended setup seems to go against this idea of separation. Plus, it requires a significant amount of manual upkeep.
As an alternative (pictured below), what if each environment only reported to it's local SLD (DE1 --> DP1, QE1--> QP1, PE1--PP1). (Note that in the picture the SLD is drawn separate, but I've heard that most customers run their local SLD on PI, so the SLD depicted in each environment actually runs on the PI system in this scenario.) Further, what if the SLD's then synchronized sequentially in a full unidirectional content sync fashion. (DP1 does a full uni-directional Content Sync to QP1, QP1 does a full uni-directional Content Sync to PP1, and PP1 does a full uni-directional Content Sync to SP1.)
DP1 would only know about it's own systems. QP1 would know about it's own plus DP1 (which it needs). PP1 and SP1 would both have full visibility into all systems. Furthermore, the manually entered business systems would also be automatically synchronized and the whold manual export/import process could be avoided or a manual export/import could be implemented between Q and Production for safety with an automatic bridge forward of Data Supplier data.
Are there downsides to the second scenario that I am not seeing? Please comment!
Best regards,
--Tom

Although the guide states that Dev systems only needs to know about other systems in the DEV environment and QAS systems only needs to know about systems in the DEV and QAS environments and only PRD needs to know all systems, I am finding that I can't get the groups set up correctly when the DEV environment has no visibility to the QAS environment.
It seems that the recommended structure (where all systems are known in all environments) will facilitate the correct setup of the PI transports. So far, that is the biggest arguement I've been able to find against the second approach outlined above. Using full sync all the way through is also not an option if you're doing any development as any changes in the DEV system automatically flow through to PRD almost instantly. Using automatic bridge forwarding and import/export might be a usable alternative, but the recommended approach from page 41 of the planning guide does seem to have the best of all worlds.

SLD questions

I am trying to set up an SLD.
I have a portal and sld running on the same j2ee (standalone)
I also have an ecc 5 (abap standalone) instance.
Question #1
Do you need an abap instace to use the sld.
Question #2
When you set up the SLD bridge, to which box are you pointing to?
For instance, if I had just the portal and SLD running on the same J2EE, would you point the SLD to "localhost"
Question #3
Where do you find the "roles"
LcrUser
LcrClassWriter Create
LcrInstanceWriter
LcrInstanceWriter
LcrInstanceWriter
LcrInstanceWriter
LcrAdministrator Administrative
Are they in the J2ee that the sld runs on?
Thanks
Jeremy

Hi,
Q1: ABAP not required
Q2: bridge points to the J2ee host, suggest give fully qualified host name
Q3: These roles by default are not present.
The authorizations for the roles are present. Please download the SLD post-instn guide for 640. There you find a page which talks about which authorizations should be maintained for each role.
Go to http://<SLD-host>:<port>
login into user management.
Create a new role with the desired name (example: LcrUser) use the same case as required. Assign the desired authorizations to the role.
Then you could later assign the role to group and then user.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Chetan

Sorry raising the same question: idoc and SLD

forum(dont get irritated as me raising the same question) ,
clarify it
when i make a business system corresponding to a SAP system(Say Z), in the SLD, do i need to name its logical system name in a way thats similar to the way which the system Z appends in the Sender partner while sending an IDOC to my XI,
means if sender's system Z has system-id SD1 and client 330, should i make a business system with logical system name SD1CLNT,
so that when an IDOC reaches my XI for system Z, it can identify that the IDOC has reached from a particular system, coz i believe when an IDOC is sent from system Z, the sender partner is appended as "System-id"CLNT"client no."..
is it so????

Hi,
When you see the moni trace , it is just info, so no error, and for the metadata always uses the sender Port , through port only the metadata will be passed, this was configured in IDX2.
Next whether the IDoc was reached to XI or not , we can see in sender side WE02 and direction is 1 and with the basic type see the status is 12 or not .. and next see in IDX5 in R3 instance of XI.
See the error statuses and respective solutions

XI Transports general question (SLD / CTS+)

Hi all, I ve the both following question : (it is not clear for me)
1) Does CTS+ transport management use SLD transport and target data linked with business system to adapt XI configuration (ID) regarding Business sender and receiver systems ?????
2) One of my customer want to install only 2 XI system.
- 1 linked with Dev & Quality R/3 environment
- 1 linked with production R/3 system
Is it possible regarding SLD content ?
How must the transports be managed in this case using CTS ?
Thanks a lot

SLD question..

Hello,
I removed one SWC from SLD. Again I imported that SWC which i have zip file exported earlier. When i import, is this allocate new GUID. Now the question is there any effect to my existing Objects in IR. Is there any effect to my scenarios if I change them.
Currently they are fine because of existing runtime cache objects. Any idea..
Thanks,
Srinivas

Hi Srinivas,
It will definately affect to the existing SWC in Integration Repository.
The GUID is the unique ID generated for each SWC. If you delete and export the same in SLD then the GUID gets changed.
If you see your SWC in IR you will find it with the GUID.
Thus you need to re-import the SWC to work the whole scenario and replace the GUID also that identifies the SWC as conatiner while processing the interface.
Thanks

SLD question: When is Logical system mandatory?

Hi Experts,
When we create a business system we get a dialog for entering logical system. My question is, for what business system, logical system in mandatory? Is it for ABAP? or third party? or Java?
What is the real significance of a logical system?
Thanks
Gopal

Hi,
When your Business System you create is going to be a Web AS ABAP and you are going to use this with the IDOC adapter , then the Assignment of the Logical System Name with the Client is mandatory.
Otherwise, when you are adding a clinet to a technical system, the Logical System Name is optional.

Bhavesh
