SLD confusion

Hi there,
i am working with XI and service pack 13. We have two landscapes:
1. Development (DEV): Third Party System <-> XI <-> R/3
2. Production (PROD): Third Party System <-> XI <-> R/3
Questions:
1. Since service pack 13 a new entry in mainining the SLD is available: System Landscapes
(View and configure groups of systems)
I thought a SLD is installed automatically with the XI installation. What is that option good for???
2. As you can see we have a tradional two SAP-system landscape with an development and an production system. And so we have two XI systems with own SLDs. Can I transport SLD DEV entries to the SLD PROD?? Does it make sense at all? On the one hand the technical systems are different but on the other hand the name of the business systems must be equal.
I am quite confused. Thanks for any help in advance
Christian

Hi Christian
what i think you can have only 1 SLD, and then you could use the grouping mechanism, which creates a linking between your diif business systems.

Business modelling concept in XI (SLD/design/directory)

Hi all,
i've read alot of articles and threads and books and weblogs, but when i thought i've got it, i still ended up confusing myself by the business->xi modelling concept.
let's say my business runs sap R/3 and it communicates with legacy system AS400, and exchange EDI messages with my customers. so now i would want to implement XI to centralize message exchange internally and externally from my organization.
so basically, the message exchange primaly happens between :
1. R3 system, to legacy system : AS400-[FILE]->XI-[IDOC]->R3.
and
2. R3 system, to external party (customer) : R3-[IDOC]->XI-[EDI]->CUSTOMER.
from these requirement, how should i be registering my systems (R3, AS400, customers') in the SLD? and on top of that, how do i map them with a "party", "service without party", and then within each of them- "business services" and "business system", in the scenarios?
then down the line when everything is in place. new business process took place (new party to communicate with) and requirement to add message exchange scenarios in XI, do i re-create my systems in SLD (coz i have the idea what when a business system is being assigned you can no longer assign it in a different scenario?), or do i just add my message exchange in the existing scenarios?
sorry if this has been said so many times and many ways, but i find it hard to understand the model without visualizing this on a relevant scenario. hope you guys can share some thoughts along with your examples.
appreciation points will be noted to any replies. thanks!
cheers,
Ryan.

Hi Ryan,
In point of view you dont need partys. I would avoid using business services (no SLD entry), coz SLD entries will give u some advantages.
 create technicals systems / business systems at SLD 4: 
- XI integration server
application systems:
- R/3 (type WAS ABAP)
- AS400 (3rd Party)
- CUSTOMER (3rd Party)
Create Software Components 4 at SLO
R/3
AS400
CUSTOMER
Mappings R/3-AS400
Mappings R/3-CUSTOMER
and connect them to the involved business systems.
Import the the SWC to IB Repository and create namespaces for each scenario.
Import the business systems to IB Directory and customize the required channels. I would put only all routing objects for one message flow into one scenario (example for easy scenario: 2 bus systems, 1 channel, 1 receiver determination, 1 if determination, 1 receiver agreement. Of coz more objects in case of using BPM). The scenario has no own functionality, it shoul help u 2 find ur objects. An IB Directory Object can be associated to 0-n scenarios.

Business System in SLD

Do I have to create each system as businass system into SLD?
Is it possible to work with business system (in Integration Directory) that not exist into SLD?

You have to use 2 services (Business system in SLD for application system).
Business System for role as Integration server has to be there.
Not to confuse you more you will have 3 business system in SLD.
2 for the target and source system as a role of application syetem and one for XI integration server.
Hope it helps,
Cheers,

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.
Best Regards,
V.Singh

SLD import error in XI 3.0 SP 11

Hi ,
When I try to import software components versions in IR from SLD I am getting the following error.
Error: Unable to read software component versions from System Landscape Directory
Details:
Unable to read software component versions from system
Landscape Directory "<hostname >:50000" (SWC_IMPORT_PROCESS_EXCEPTION)
MESSAGE ID: com.sap.aii.ibrep.server.sldaccess.interfaces.rb_SLDException.SWC_IMPORT_PROCESS_EXCEPTION
Did any body come across this error ?
Thanks
Sunil

Looks like your RFC connection is not defined properly.
Go to SM59 transaction and open TCP/IP connections, check SAPSLDAPI RFC destination is working correct by clicking on Test Connection
If it is not working correct.
To find your gateway host & service, go to SMGW -> Go to -> Parameters -> Display and look for gateway hostname and gateway service.
Then look for Program ID in Visual Administrator JCo Connections under services.
If you are still confused, download install guide and look for SAPSLDAPI, the documentation is available.
http://service.sap.com/instgudies -> Netweaver 04 -> Installation -> SAP XI -> Install Guide.

TS Name is not displayed against BS Name in SLD

Hi Friends,
In SLD (PI 7.0), under Business Systems wizard, for each business system name, technical system is not displayed (Integration Tab --> Technical system)
But, when we go to Technical System wizard, under Business System Tab Business System Name is there.
What could be the problem ? (When configure proxy connection from ECC to PI, we found this problem in SLD)
Can you kindly clarify, friends.
Thank you.
Kind regards,
Jegathees P.

Hi Francis,
Thanks for reply. In ECC
1) SLDAPICUST - is fine - The Central SLD server host name is maintained with J2EE_ADMIN user name & password
2) SLDCHECK is running fine.
3) The FM 'LCR_GET_OWN_BUSINESS_SYSTEM' returns the Business System name correctly. (Type : LOC)
4) Both LCRSAPRFC & SAPSLDAPI connections of TCP/IP pointing to PI system only. Connection test is fine.
@ Sathyanarayana : do I need to check the relevant business systems in BD54 of ECC & PI system.
@ Francis : Any idea further to check ? (I double checked all the settings in ECC & PI)
Is it required to maintain any entry in SPROXSET table ? Currently the table is empty.
Our network is currently down for maintenance. Once it is up, I will check and reply.
I am really confusing why my proxy is not connected to PI.
Kind regards,
Jegathees P.

SLD Communication between Remote ABAP & JAVA system through WebDispatcher

Hi All,
We are having the listed requirement at one of my Client.
We want to register Remote ABAP system into Remote SLD of JAVA system. Both SAP systems are located in different regions.The SLD is local to the remote JAVA system. The ultimate objective is to create JCO Destinations in Remote JAVA system using the Entries of its Local SLD and to run some WebDynpro Application to access Data from Remote ABAP system.
We have already setup the above mentioned same scenario between Remote ABAP Dev and Remote Poratl DEV systems with the help of their Direct Live IP communciation. The setup is working fine, as both systems are accessing each other using Direct Live IPs in both directions on ports 3200, 3300, 50000....
But in Portal PRD scenario, the Cleint's Enterprise Portal is accessed through SAP Webdispatcher. The User Access Request of PRD Portal is first captured at SAP Webdispatcher and then the requrest is redirected to the J2ee Application Servers based on Load balancing. So in this PRD scenario, how we can establish such SLD communication setup between Remote ABAP and JAVA systems in both directions via SAP WebDispatcher.
One of the option may be to use SAP Gateway of Portal Development, whcih is accessed through Live IP and register Remote ABAP system to Poral PRD system (by maintaining SLD entriy in SLDAPICUST T-code). I don't know weather such communication will work or not ..as it may require SLD Bridge configuration from Portal DEV to Portal PRD... may be... and may be to enable some portal communcaitons on Ports 3300, 50000 (Java Side), 3200, (ABAP side) ...
Or
at SAP Webdispather host (which is accessed first for Portal PRD requests..), the Standalone gateway needs to be setup to establish such SLD communication ?
I am confused abt the final setup of the above mentioned SLD setup. So requesting you to provide possible options/suggestions for the same.
Regards,
Bhavik G. Shroff

Hi,
I would suggest you to install standalone gateway between portal and your PRD system. Register portal host and gateway in the SLD and same enter in RZ70 on your PRD system. As a result both will be able to communicate with each other.
Thanks

Sld settings for idoc to idoc

hi experts,
for the idoc to idoc scenrio (not making use of BPM)
I have 2 business systems in sld which will be referring to the two r/3 systems.
suppose bus_system1 has logical system name as logsys1 for server1
suppose bus_system2 has logical system name as logsys2 for server2
in we20 for server1 and server2 what logical system name is to be included for the partner profile .(is it the XI server name with receiver port leading to the xi server)?
here there are 3 systems participating in the transfer of data and i am a bit confused . Please help.
Regards,
Shrita.

Hi Shitra,
On the service marketplace there is a nice how-to-guide
(http://servie.sap.com/nw-howtoguides => Exchange Infrastructure => How To Sample IDOC Scenarios within XI 3.0) that explains every step you must go thru.
So you could use this how-to-guide as reference.
PS.: The guide "How to configure the IDOC Adapter" (same place) is also worth reading)

if you are using File to IDoc scenario then need to define logical systems for both business systems you are going to create for
i.e they will be used as sender and receiver partners in case of logical systems
if need more details check the below blog
/people/rajeshkumar.pasupula/blog/2009/03/16/unable-to-convert-the-sender-service-to-an-ale-logical-system
check the same for how logical system are used in this case...
note above will be helpful in case of only idoc scenario..else no need of creating logical systems even though target sysstem is ECC

Register system to SLD with fully qualified name

Anybody know how to register the host name for an abap system to the SLD so it uses the fully qualified DNS name? According to the help files in the SLD, it say's: "By default, host names in SLD are written lower case without any network domain"
Our SAP servers are in:
ex.) abc.domain.com
Our desktops are in:
ex.) def.domain.com
So, when developers try to register their local NWDS to the SLD, they cannot reach it. The only solution is for them to add the SAP Server domain (dx.domain.com) into their local tcp/ip settings on their desktop.
Does anybody else have this same issue? Any suggestions on how we can use a FQ DNS name for SLD registration?
-Dave

Sorry for the confusion. I think I may have mis-worded my own question. It was a Friday!
Want I meant to say was, our developers' local JCo connections fail when they try to make a connection to an SAP system listed in the SLD. This is because the two machines (pc and SAP server) reside in different domains.
SAP Servers are in abc.domain.com
Desktop computers are in def.domain.com
The only way for the JCo connection to work from their desktop, is if the developer adds "abc.domain.com" into the tcp/ip settings on their desktop.
If we could register the SAP system in the SLD as a Fully Qualified Name, I think the problem would disappear.

Connecting Two SLDs in r XI Landscape

Hi Folks,
We have set up two SLDs for our XI landscape. One SLD for Development/QA and second one for Production. I have configured all the post install steps on XI Production System including SLD config steps.
I would like to know the steps for connecting both the SLDs.
I have seen number of Wlogs/forum discussions, but little bit confused on where to start. Due to shortage of time, please suggest right Wlog or any other documents which meets my requirements.
Your help in this regard would be highly appreciated.
Regards
Chandu

Hi,
just have a look at this SAP note: 720717
(it shows how to change SLD - so how to connect them too)
and this doc:

Using Solution Manager 4.0 to control SLD

Hello everyone:
I've installed SolMan 4.0 on an Instance, and in another instance, a whole NetWeaver stack 2004s. Now I'm configuring XI and as a pre-req I need SLD configured.
My question is, do I need to configure it on SolMan, or just in the Java side of my installation? if I do it only on JAva, will I be able to "see" it on the Sol Man?
Thanks a lot!
Alejandro

Hi Alejandro,
You just need one central SLD for all your landscape, you just need to decide where to put it. Is not true that you must have a local SLD for XI, XI needs an active SLD but can be local or remote.
You can configure one CENTRAL SLD for all your systems, first decide which will be your SLD, then you can configure all your systems to "send" their own information to the CENTRAL sld. see the link: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/43/01ea90ab24235de10000000a1553f7/frameset.htm in the secction "Configuring Systems to Connect to SLD".
When you finish with this all your systems will be sending their information to the SLD periodically.
SolMan and XI uses the information stored in the SLD to opperate correctly, so now you must do some customizations in order to have SolMan and XI reading information from SLD.
In the case of SolMan you can make some customizations in order to have the landscape (SMSY) up to date using the SLD as data source. Do not get confused with the SLD and the transaction SMSY because there are different things.
Read the document "How to: Exchanging System Data between SMSY and SLD " from the link below:
https://websmp209.sap-ag.de/~form/sapnet?_FRAME=OBJECT&_HIER_KEY=501100035870000009816&_HIER_KEY=601100035870000154900&_HIER_KEY=701100035871000330691&_SCENARIO=01100035870000000202&#HOME
And XI is the same thing. You can configure it to connect to your central SLD. look on the post installation of your XI version.
In our case we have one central SLD instaled on the java stack of our solution manager server, and we have one server form BW, another server for Enterprise Portal, and another server for PI (previuously called XI). All of them sends their own information to SLD. And Portal, XI and SolMan reads information from the central SLD. So now our SMSY in SolMan is allways up to date, also XI.
Regards.

Errors integrating ABap system in SLD and PI

Dears,
I need informations about how to include an Abap system to the SLD , installaed on a different machine, and to make it available for the communication with a PI system.
It's a silly question but I'm quite confused about the step should be performed. I partially did the integration following the documentaion in my knowledge, but something is missing.....and does not works.

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...

File-RFC-File SLD configuration

Hello everybody!
Currently I'm trying to create a File-RFC-File scenario. So that request from file is send to RFC and after that the RFC response is written to file. I'm following some guides on this topic here on sdn. So I'm almost done with ESB and IB designs but got stuck with SLD configuration. It's pretty confusing to me what software components, business and technical systems should i create for the purpose of my scenario. Could you please explain it step-by-step?
Thanks in advance,
Peter

>>>>>>>>confusing to me what software components, business and technical systems should i create for the purpose of my scenario
You dont need any software component or product is required, since already you are done with those objects.
May be you have used existed sofware component version for creating ESR objects. Okay.
1. You need one business system for R/3 or ECC
2. Juss get into SLD and create Technical System and Business System (If not yet available for R/3 or ECC)
3. As you have completed ur ESR, you can get into Configuration part
4. Choose - Communication component with out party
5. right click and assign business system (if R/3 or ECC is not yet assigned)
6. For File - you can go business service
That's it.
