SLD Bridge vs SLD Synchronization

Hi all,
Can you please explain the differences between SLD Bridge versus SLD Synchronization ?
And why and when to choose one option over the other ?
Thanks alot.
Nadir

Hi Nadir,
As of version 7.1 the SLD content Sync should be available.
Demo: The Full Automatic Sync Feature in the SLD of SAP NetWeaver 7.1
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/12579
#1372683 SLD content synchronization: Correct configuration of URL
The user you have configured in the bridge need to be valid
for logon on the target SLD. Also each SLD should have a
unique value for the object server parameter.

  • SLD-Bridge / Data Supplier Bridge and new technical systems

    Hi,
    The data supplier (data collection process) periodically sends data to the SLD bridge. This SLD bridge provides this information to the SLD.
    My question: Will new technical systems be created(!) and updated automatically in the SLD by using SLD bridge??
    Or do I have to create new technical systems allways manually by SLD browser??
    Thanks and regards!

    How about the "creation" process of technical systems??
    I am confused of the idea of the SLD bridge. The idea sounds great to me, but how is the link between the technical systems and all these collected data passed to the SLD realized??
    The online documentation is not very helpful...

  • SLD Bridge

    Hello everybody,
    I have a few doubts about SLD Bridge, I need to do a bridge between 2 SLD's, I've been reading the documentation about it, and I know where to configure it, but what about as an example with Business Systems, I mean I have for example a BS_QAS1 in SLD1, and I have configured in SLD1 a Bridge to an SLD2, if I need a Business System in SLD2 for BS_QAS1 how do I doit, is automatically visible?, I've been reading about that Business System Information is not reportable in this automatic way, is this true?, and in another examples what about Technical Systems? if I have in SLD1 TS_SYS1, and I need it in SLD2, I have the bridge but I can't see it in Technical Systems area for SLD2, then how does this work?? I want to believe that when doing the bridge SLD1 reports information about landscape to SLD2 so I could see this technical systems in SLD2, maybe I'm understanding wrong the concept, can anyone clarify me this points?,  cause I'm a little lost in here, thanks in advance.

    HI,
    SLD Bridge is the open Port where one one side its connected to SLDs (SLD1, SLD2 ...etc) and on another side its linked with corresponding Data supplier.
    If you have installed multiple SLD servers (for example, for security purposes), the SLD bridge can be configured to send data to each of these servers. In the figure above, one SLD server has been installed locally and multiple SLD servers have been installed remotely.
    The SLD bridge converts the system data that is sent by the SLD data suppliers to the SLD server into a CIM-compliant format.
    The data between the SLD data suppliers of ABAP-based systems and the SLD bridge is exchanged by means of an RFC connection. Therefore, you have to configure an SAP gateway service. We recommend that you use a local gateway.

  • SLD bridge query

    Hello,
    We have configured SLD bridge between two systems which is PI version 7.0 and Solman 7.1. But the data is not auto transfer,we have configured using this link http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/43/da21ba13660aa5e10000000a1553f6/content.htm but still no luck.
    Are there any options/steps that you can suggest?
    Please advise.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    1) When you press execute button in RZ70 transaction in ABAP and
    press "send data to sld" button in SLD Data Supplier tab in Visual
    Admin in J2ee it will update data in both SLD simultaneously if SLD
    Bridge working fine between the SLD.
    2) By default data is updated in 720 minutes means that the data about
    current system will be updated in the SLD twice a day. You can change
    it by entering a different value in Minute field in RZ70 Tx.
    The  most common cause of this problem is that the objectserver name
    of both SLD's is the same, (generally the default which is localhost)
    Please ensure that each SLD has a unique objectserver name
    This can be see in Administration -> Profile -> All
    Please also see the following SAP Note:
    #[935245|http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/935245] - Importance of "Object Server" SLD parameter
    If you have
    configured this correctly and nothing is being forwarded with no
    errors in the logfiles i suspect this is the casue of the problem.

  • SLD Bridge Errors

    Hello Gurus,
    I have configured SLD Bridge from my production system to Solution manager. I can now import all ABAP information into SOLMAN via RZ70 without problems.
    Now i want to send production J2EE information to my SOLMAN for this i goto Visual Admin and Under SLD Data Supplier i trigger the data transfer to SLD. Hope i am doing this right?
    The transfer completes successfully and information is reflected correctly on the local SLD but nothing comes up on SOLMAN. I checked the local SLD logs and i get the following error.
    #41 06/12/2009 15:58:36.350 [Thread-6063] ERROR com.sap.lcr.sagent.BuilderDirector: Data supplier circular redirection. Check data supplier bridge targets. (Data will be ignored on this server) Redirect list: [com.sap.lcr.sagent.data.Instance@6b05daa9 ]
    Do i have to maintain any SLD bridge details for J2ee apart from RZ70. Please let me know.

    Hi,
    The AS ABAP (BI) system has to be registered in the SLD. If it is not registered in the SLD logon to the SLD: http ://:/sld. (Your configured SLD (central or local SLD))Please check in Home -> Technical Systems -> select type ABAP. This should have configuration of your ABAP (BI) system.If it is missing, logon to your ABAP (BI) system -> goto transaction RZ70. Fill in the SLD bridge: gateway info -> Activate -> Start data collection.If a error message like "ABAP backend doesn't exist in the SLD" pops up while running the template installer, there could be different possibilities for this error. Starting SP14 more detailed error sources will be popped up. For lower SPS the exact reason of the error can be found in the default trace file.Please look at this link

  • SLD Bridge : Automatic data transfer

    Hi ,
    We  have configured SLD bridge between system A ( PI 7.0 ) and B ( Solution Manager 7.0 ).

    Now How can we check data tranfer is successful or not. And how much time does it take for data transfer.
    We have already checked log in Sld-.administration-->log. But so far there is no infomration about data transfer.No error either.

    Hi JackLim
    You had better check RFC Destination by SM59,
    and JCo RFC Provider by Visual Admin .
    1:Check whether Program ID is matching.
    2:Check ABAP System is Unicode or Non-Unicode,
      and collect settings.
      ->if ABAP System is Non-Unicode System,
        Check off the Unicode Flag of JCo RFC Provider.
    regards.

  • Transfer SLD content between SLDs in SLD 640

    Is it possible to transfer content between two SLD systems in SLD version 640?
    1.) I have  a SLD (call it sldA) that contains the ABAP and JAVA data about DEV and QA system.
    2.) I have another SLD (call it sldB) that contains the ABAP and JAVA data about my Production systems.
    I'm running SLD version 6.40.0 - not 700.
    Is there a way to get the content of sldA into sldB and keep it syncronized? I'd like to maintain two distinct SLDs, but I'd like sldB to have information about the entire landscape. This would be a one way push from sldA to sldB. I'd like this to be an automatic process, not something I have to do manually.

    Though I have not worked on such environment. Your query looks interesting...I tried to find something related.
    About SLD I am sure you must be aware of "SLD Bridge Forwarding" , It exists in 700 and 6.40 as well...
    Is it possible to transfer content between two SLD systems in SLD version 640?
    As per the  [SLD6.40 Post Installation |https://websmp102.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700001149582007E] Document I think it is possible.
    You might have already checked this document, If not please check page 12.
    It says you need to check gateway connections & RFCs and also need to update CIM contents.(Note 669669)
    To forward data from QA& DEV to Prod - Configure the bridge between this and If you do not want to receive data from ABAP systems in your SLD, set the parameter StartRfcServer to false.( Check this [Link|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi71/helpdata/en/43/da21ba13660aa5e10000000a1553f6/frameset.htm])
    I think this will make your process automatic from sldA to sldB and also you will get entire landscape information in sldB (Correct me if I am wrong)
    Let us know if it was helpful....
    Cheers

  • 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
    Best wishes

  • Checking IGS,SLD bridge

    Q1) How to check whether IGS running.
    according to GRC guide, i checked in URL http://<hostname>:5<instance>80
    but i didnt get any screen/graph..how to solve this.
    Q2).After installation of GRC AC  CC5.3, to ensure SLD is configured and running
    i checked in http://<hostname>:55<instance>00/sld/index.html.
    There in technical settings -administraton, i got status running but when i click data supplier bridge
    i didnt get any status,,,how to rectify this problem..please let me know ASAP.

    Hi Joseph
    On which instance you have installed SAP GRC ?. By default the IGS URL will be disabled to show graphs.
    Have you actually verified that IGS URL is correctly given in the visual administrator? . Also check in the hosts file of GRC server if  hostname  of GRC server is available with correct ip address.
    To Check if SLD is working properly do the following test.
    1) login to the SAP j2ee home page of  GRC Server. URL will be http://hostname:5<instno>00
    then click on Web Dynpro tools ->  Content administrator -> click  Check  SLD connection. When you click test connection , it should be successfull.
    Then in the Maintain JCos  Destinations -> click the test and ping of your JCos which you have given.
    Also confirm that GRC RTAs have been installed on your back end system.
