SLD: Software Catalog

HI,
we are starting our XI implementation now. Presently I dont have any products and components defined in the Software catalog. My question is, Is it necessary to define the products in the software catalog of SLD. Can I directly create Business systems and Technical systems?.
Could you please help me on that.
Thanks and Regards,
Raj.

Hi Raj,
You need to perform the post-installation activities to see the content in Software Catalog in SLD. Refer to section "Updating the CR Data in SLD" in the XI Post-Installation Guide.
SLD contains software and system catalog.
Software catalog describes installed products and SWCs.
Systems catalog describes the systems in your data center
with 1) physical view(Technical) and 2)logical view(Business System).
Info from Software Catalog is used in Design time of your scenarios.
Info from System Catalog is used in defining the routing rules.
SWC is primary container for all your design objects
You should have content for all of SAP Products and SWC by updating the CR Content.
For all the products other than SAP you have to create Products and SWCs. As I mentioned earlier, these are primary containers or place holders for all your design objects.
Hope this helps.
Rgds,
Sam Raju

Product SCM 5.0 in Central SLD Software Catalog

Hi,
I've an installation of NW 2004s, SCM 5.0 and a Solution Manager that is doing of central SLD. I have perform the post installations steps for SCM but I'm not seeing the product SCM 5.0 in the Software Catalog when selecting Software Type "Product" on the central SLD, I just see SCM 4.1.
When selecting Software Type "Software Components" in the Software Catalog screen, there is a software component SAP SCM that has version SAP SCM 5.0.
Why it doesn't show the product for SAP SCM 5.0?
Many thanks.
Rodrigo.

You have to update your CIM file on the Server
SLD content has been updated from time to time.
You can download the most up-to-date files from the SAP Service Marketplace. See SAP Note
669669 for details information.
Procedure for importing the data is
1. Choose Content --> Import. The browser displays the Import Selection screen.
2. Next to the Import File field, choose Browse.
3. To import the component information data, navigate to the following file:
<server>\usr\sap\<SAPSID>\SYS\global\sld\model\cr_content.zip (Microsoft
Windows) and then choose Open.
Objects that already exist in the system are automatically overwritten.
4. If you do not want to import the instances into the current namespace, you can change the namespace.
5. Choose Import.

Missing my Software Component (SC) within the Software Catalog

Hi all,
we work with different Project tracks within NWDI on SAP NetWeaver 7.31. The current phenomenon where I am getting confused is: I am able to import a track with my Software Components from the SLD (from the NetWeaver Development Studio), but when I check if my Software Components are available in the SLD --> Software Catalog, I am not able to find these. Selft created Software Components of my own are findable.
Do I have to refresh / update anything anywhere in my SLD?
Thanks for assisting.
Cengiz

Hi Cengiz,
I'm confused. Which are missing in SLD?
If it's standard SAP SC, please updated CR contents.
If it's custom ones, you have to define them in SLD.
BR, Tom

Software Catalog missing in SLD server

hi
The Software Catalog in my SLD server(SAP XI 3.0) is deleted/missing, is there any way i can import it back.
Thanks
Jonu Joy

Hi Jonu
cimsap.zip and CR_CONTENT.zip will be avialable in /usr/<SID>/SYS/global/sld/model
you can import from there or if u want to import the new version then you need to download from service.sap.com

Creating new track - software catalog new product not showing up - Help!!!

Hi,
Creating a new track for custom development.
A new product has been added in the software catalog in SLD.
SLD and NWDI (netweaver 04) are on the same system.
The new product is not showing up when trying to select in the new track, Software Components for Development section. Why??
Does the server need to be restarted after adding a new product? This is difficult for us as SLD has production systems tied to it!!!
Thanks in advance
Regards, Neeta

Thanks - This did the trick. I have awarded points!!!!

How to assign Software catalog to Product which are already created in XI
Thanks
Babu

Hi,
Once you create the Product in SLD ...you then go for software unit and after creating the unit you get an option to chose the already created software components to assign to the unit or create a new software component altogether.

Add non-SAP product to Software catalog - Error

Hi experts,
When i want to add a non-SAP product to Software Catalog with your name, vendor and version the system give me the error: Class already locked: SAP_ProductLine. What does this mean?
very thanks,

Maybe the name of your product is already used?
Or did you try to use vender sap.com? This is not allowed.

"Waiting for maintenance window" for pre-approved application installed from software catalog

My understanding is that if a user installs an application from the software catalog that does not require admin approval, it should install right away. A user selected an application yesterday which had a prerequisite that needed to be installed (.NET),
it was installed but the published application never was; it's stuck in the "Waiting for maintenance window" category. I manually reboot the PC a few times thinking that would help, but no go. The deployment's checkboxes for "Software install"
and "System Restart" are grayed out so I can't check them, though it's my understanding they don't apply anyway in this situation.
Anyone have any ideas? Also just for my own knowledge, what would cause the Software Install and System Restart checkboxes to be grayed out so they can't be checked?

Available deployments are not affected by maintenance windows or business hours. Examine AppEnforce.log and maintenancecoordinator.log. The Monitoring node might also be useful.

*.zip *.tpz import procedure in sap xi(sld,ir,id)

Hi all,
( i am using the file transport mechanism ).
I need to take backup for my xi scenarios.( In future i may need this *.zip and *.tpz files)
SLD:
software catalog: I can export (products + swcvs ) *.zip file in my personal directory.
( what is the procedure for importing *.zip file in sld? )
system catalog: How to export and import the system catalog objects?
IR/ID : Yes, I can do export the swcv and namespaces, then we can move (*.tpz)files from sever(IR/ID export dir->import dir)
shall we do any setting or creation of objects before importing IR/ID?
Please help me how to import SLD,IR,ID *.zip and *.tpz files in SAP XI with in an example.
Regards,
Deviprasad.

Hi Deviprasad,
When we do an export of the IR or the ID Oblects, a typical path at which it gets exported in the XI Server is as follow:
For IR Objects:
C:\usr\sap\PI1\SYS\global\xi\repository_server\export
For ID Objects:
"C:\usr\sap\PI1\SYS\global\xi\directory_server\export"
Now in case you need to import the ".tpz" that you have.... You need to place it in the path mentioned below and u will be able to do import it from IR or ID...
For IR Objects:
C:\usr\sap\PI1\SYS\global\xi\repository_server\import
For ID Objects:
"C:\usr\sap\PI1\SYS\global\xi\directory_server\import"

Abhy Thomas

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.

Usage dependency is created at Build time and installation time

Hi,
The infrastructure guys have selected the usage dependency as Build time and Installation time, while creating software components.
"Y" SWC is created as depedency for "X" software component.
In SLD(software catalog), we are able to view the Y component as dependency in X component(at both build time and installation time). In usage dependency we are able to view Y component but when we click Y component in usage dependecy we are also able to view X component. Is there any problem with this ?
There is another issue. we are able to view basis object(in IR) in Y component but not in X component. Actually as per the above configuration basis object in IR should appear in X component.
Please refer to another forum which may give you some more idea.("BPM - Message interfaces of one component are not appearing in another comp") pasted on 17 Nov,2006.
Please could you provide us the inputs.
Thanks,
Ramesh
