System Landscape on XI or SRM ?

Hello to all,
Actually I have to configure the system landscape for several systems, but I do not know which are the best practices that I must follow to form it.
I have two servers one of the XI and other one of SRM 5.0, additional I have in another server of SSM 3.2.
Would I like to know which is the best recommendation, if I must install and configuring SLD in the XI or SRM?. And if someone can indicate me where it he can access information that recounts me to this topic.
I have never formed the SLD in Systems SAP, estimated to anybody who could orientate me.
Best Regards,
Desiree

Hello Desiree,
A good approach is to use the SLD for your Solution Manager 4.0, by using this SLD as primary one, you can release the resources for the others Application Servers and also use this for change management reporting....
Of course it depend how critical is your XI and if your system have sufficient resources.
BTW, if you don't have a Solution Manager you must install one as soon as possible or at least use the SM Diagnostics as stand alone cause it's very important for root cause analysis on Java based product like your XI.
Hope this helps.
Yours,
Luis

BDLS: Partner profiles not change - System Landscape Copy (SRM+HCM+ERP)

Hello,
Can anybody help me for system copy i.e. production to quality.
System Landscape:
- 1 central HCM System
- 1 central SRM System
- 6 Backend Systems (ERP)
Problem: Change Log. Systemnames (SALE) and Partner Profiles (WE20) and ALE-Distribution Model (BD64).
We run BDLS (change RFC/log.Systemnames/ change BD64), but we have problems with Partner Profiles (WE20). Which do not change !
Anybody knows this problem?
What can I do?
Thanks, Silke

Running BDLS would not normally revert the setting for the partner profiles. You could either load it again via backup transport or make new entries accordingly to the specific settings prior to the system copy.

System Landscape security

Hi,
We have a system landscape having systems based on Java stack(EP,BI Java), Java+ABAP(XI,SRM) stack and ABAP(ECC) stack.
We have Windows Active Directory as the LDAP server.
We need to implement a security concept for the entire landscape.
Requirement is to use single sign-on and LDAP. We also want to use Windows integrated authentication.
Could someone please answer the following questions:
1.Recommended data source for users and role assignments?(LDAP,ABAP,UME).
2.Can/Should CUA be used to manage the users of Java stacks?
4. Any other recommendation / learnings?
Basically, I need to know an optimal/tested solution for implementing security in such a complex landscape.
Thanks.

Rohit,
If you go to https://websmp207.sap-ag.de/security and navigate to 'Security in Detail' on detailed navigation, you will find relevant information.
There is also a security guide on /NW2004s. Related documents you can find at

Defining substitutes in a multi SAP component system landscape

Hi All,
I need some help trying to understand and figure out how to best proceed with a recommendation/solution for defining workflow substitutes in a new SAP installation that includes the following components: Netweaver 2004S, EP6, SRM5 and ERP 2005.
The client is planning to rollout various ESS, MSS, ERP and SRM workflows throughout the organization and use the UWL for all workflow scenarios.
Being new to the portal and UWL, I been reading and trying different things with respect to maintaining substitutes in the ERP and SRM systems as well as the UWL.
Ive figured out that the UWL substitute processing is not linked to the ERP and SRM functionality. This means that anyone responsible for approvals will need to log into the ERP system and define the required personal substitutes in the Workflow Inbox and then repeat the same process in the SRM Approval tab.
If the above is the only way to define substitutes, then the process will not be met with open arms for all sorts of reasons.
As Im new to these new SAP components, am I missing something? There is a simple solution to defining substitutes in this type of a system landscape or do you need to build something to provide the required/desired single entry point for both systems.
Also, what do the UWL substitutes provide?
Regards,
Jerry

Hi Jerry,
Yes the UWL does create substitutes across all connected SAP systems **PROVIDED**:
1. Each system has all the function modules prefixed SAP_WAPI_SUBSTITUT...
2. There is a mapping between the portal user and a user id in each of the systems
3. The user has the relevant authority (auth object S_WF_SUBST) to create/maintain/display substitutes in each of the systems
If you have the SAP_WAPI_SUBSTITUT... function modules in some systems but not others you should be able to copy them (you'll need some SSCR keys of course to copy them under SAP standard names) and everything should be fine. I've done this before to a 6.20 NetWeaver system and it worked fine.
If its still not working you need to check the support pack notes for EP6 - for instance you do need to be on at least EP6 SP14 patch 2 for all substitution features to work.

Why MDM in homogenous or single system landscape

Hai expertise,
If at all i need to include MDM in a organization which include only SAP system.. what are all the advantages i will get out of MDM...
In single system landscape we use MDM at the time of upgradation of system..
Any advantages other than that???

Govada - You said that you have single system (SAP) landscape for your client...
but you have not clarified if you have other SAP systems like CRM,SRM,BW implemented for your client..If so..MDM will be helpful for consolidating and harmonizing master data across systems..
But if you client has only one R/3 system installed , MDM may not be useful...
Rule of thumb : MDM is fit for the scenarios where you have your Master data residing/being maintained by diffrent systems. (R/3 has its own customer maintainance and CRM has its own..) in this case MDM is of best use.
Cheers,
Aravind

You do not have permission to view the System Landscape Directory.

Hello there,
When I accessed my SLD from portal, it took me to the page but kept saying:
- You do not have permission to view the System Landscape Directory. Minimum required: UME role with permission com.sap.lcr.LcrUser and J2EE role LcrUser. See the SLD Post-Installation Guide for details
- SLD not configured; configure the SLD in Administration first.
I searched on these forums for the above error. Got some results, but nothing really substantial that has helped/fixed my problem.
I also read a bit on SLD from the pdf file named: System Landscape
Directory of SAP NetWeaver 2004s
I also worked on the security roles and actions to individual
users or user groups like for ex: the above pdf file advised I map the security roles from Visual Administrator, to the created roles in the portal. I've done that too. Like create a user group: 'SAP_SLD_ADMINISTRATOR' and create a user role corresponding to it, which would be: 'LcrAdministrator'
Then, I went to visual administrator, and clicked on 'Assign User Groups to Roles'
Even after this, I tried to access the SLD from portal: It is still giving me the same error I mentioned above in bold italics.
Can somebody please help me how to fix this issue?
Thanks
Dino.

Graham:
Thank you very much for making the effort to reply to my query.
But, it still hasnt solved my problem yet.. for some reason even though I followed your instructions and did what you advised.
I have attached a screenshot of my Visual Administrator screen that you advised me to modify/change.
Here it is: http://img166.imageshack.us/img166/2259/screenshot002co1.jpg
After I made the changes, I restarted the J2EE server and went to my portal SLD page: [http://org-x:50000/sld]
Tried authenticating usernames: LcrAdministrator and Administrator.
Both attempts resulted in the same error show below:
- You do not have permission to view the System Landscape Directory. Minimum required: UME role with permission com.sap.lcr.LcrUser and J2EE role LcrUser. See the SLD Post-Installation Guide for details
- SLD not configured; configure the SLD in Administration first.
I am wondering, if you would have another workaround regarding this issue, can you please let me know?
Thanks
Dino.

SOLMAN 4.0 SR2 connect to SAP R/3 Three System landscape (DEV QA and PRD)

Hi,
We have successfully installed SOLMAN 4.0 SR2 (ABAP + JAVA) on
WIN2003 SP2 EE MSSQL 2005 EE SP1.
I just want to activate the service so that SOLMAN could see my existing SAP R/3 4.6 C Three system landscape (DEV QAS PRD).
I heard settings should be done on SPRO IMG configs. Could anyone tell me the exact procedure to navigate on it. I see a lot of buttons to config and execute, Just want to make sure everything will be in order.
My SLD is directly installed locally on my SOLMAN server.
Thanks,
Simoun

Hello Simoun,
Telling from your last sentence I assume that you would like to connect SolMan (transaction SMSY) to your locally installed SLD or in other words: replicate SLD system data into SOLMAN system landscape SMSY.
Please check this document:
http://service.sap.com/~form/sapnet?_SHORTKEY=01100035870000538663&_SCENARIO=01100035870000000202&_OBJECT=011000358700000530282007E
Here you find information covering prerequisites, required SAP Solution Manager IMG configuration to connect SLD and SMSY and frequently ask questions (FAQ-like).
I hope this helps you to get started.

Doreen

Doubts in System Landscape Directory

Hello All,
I got some basic doubts in SLD.
Why do we need to store the information about the installed products and to be installed products in software catalog?
And, what is this techncal system?
After reading few help sites, what I understand is the following:
For example SAP is a product and CRM etc are the software components. We create the technical system for this product like for client 100 we create a technical system and for client 200 we create another technical system. And we give some logical names, called business sytems, to these technical systems.
My second question is, why do we need to create all these information(the information in SLD)? Why cant we directly create messages types, message interfaces etc and configure them in Integration directory without using the information in SLD like business system?
In Integration Directory, we say that the sender is one Business System and receiver is another business system. These business system are created based on some technical systems. These technical systems are based on some software components and product. This product and the software component might be a installed or non installed product. Then how do we can get the connection between the sender and the business system? Can you please explain me the idea behind considering the sender and reciever as business systems.
Can anybody please clear the above doubts?
Priya

Hi Priya,
SLD:
The System Landscape Directory of SAP NetWeaver (SLD) serves as a central information repository for your system landscape. A system landscape consists of a number of hardware and software components that depend on each other with regard to installation, software updates, and demands on interfaces.
- so talking about the working of an SLD, here if any information is required for the integration server regarding the systems(logical or physical) and the software (installed products) it refers to the SLD.
- to tell you about the other features it has....it captures the dimensions of the system landscape like solution dimension, transport dimension and technical dimension.
- putting it in short XI IS A CLIENT OF SLD
Also go thru this link and understand more about SLD <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/31/f0ff69551e4f259fdad799a229363e/frameset.htm">System Landscape Directory</a>

SOFTWARE CATALOG:
The SLD contains a Software Catalog of all installable SAP products and software components. The Software Catalog includes information about support packages and dependencies between the products and software components. This information is the basis for the description of the system landscape.
Also go thru this link and understand more about Software Catalog <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/a2/2999ef97ea2b4790165f9ca5c05c41/content.htm">Software Catalog</a>
TECHNICAL SYSTEM, BUSINESS SYSTEMS, SOFTWARE PRODUCTS:
Technical system correlates the software to the physical host on which it is installed
Or in other words Technical systems are application systems that are installed in your system landscape.
- they are actually the basis for defining the business systems.
- we assign a technical system to a business system to help the SLD make the appropriate association.
- the software products used by the business system are got from the technical system definition.
- to note 1 technical system can have more than one business system assigned to it....and as told the SLD make the appropriate association between them.
Also go thru this link and understand more about each of it:

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.

ChaRM: 4-System-Landscape possible?

Hello,
regarding our system landscape we have no clue how ChaRM will handle following situation
DEV-System: Development-System were the developments should be done.
QAS-System: Test-System were the tests should be done.
FNC-System: nothing to do here, just for functional tests
PRD-System: Production System
Transport routes are DEV -> transport group which deliveres QAS and FNC, and from QAS -> PRD.
What needs to be done to set this up correctly for ChaRM (e.g.: SMSY-logical components)?
Thanks in advance.

Hi
You have two options:
1) assign FNC to task list: you can start the import to this system in the task list manually
2) or task list without FNC: you can schedule a job 'import all' at FNC or import manually via STMS
Confiiguration:
1) One log. component with D-Q-FNC-P (Q and FNC are of role target systems)
2) One log. component with D-Q-P

Andy

System landscape planning on system i

Hi,
We have V5R4 latest AS/400 Model with 2 LPARS(Logical Partitions).Each LPAR consists 2 TB storage and 30GB RAM.
a) LPAR1 - 2TB Storage ( SB,TA,DEV,QAS) :
b) LPAR2- 2 TB Storage for Production (PRD) + HA- High Availability
Our initial plan is All Solution Manager Instances B,TA,DEV,QAS), ECC6.0 Instances
(SB,TA,DEV,QAS), Net Weaver 2004s instances (SB,TA,DEV,QAS) install on LPAR1.
Each LPARS consists 3 iASPs(Auxilarlly Storage Pool).
ASP1- SYSBASE stores all Instances(Solution Manager,ECC6.0,Netweaver 2004s) Files Systems like /usr/sap/SID-SB,TA,DEV,QAS.
ASP2- Journals : Stores all instances(Solution Manager,ECC6.0,Netweaver 2004s) recent databse changes.
ASP3 - Libraries storesStores all instances(Solution Manager,ECC 6.0,Net weaver2004s)Database informations
But We are planning to implement 2 iASPs in LPAR1 ( DEV/TR/QA )
a) ASP1 - Sysbase + journals
b) ASP2 - Database
what approach would be best for our SAP system landscape environment.
Thanks

Not quite, Nesimi
The planning guide is clear: For each data supplier, you need a dedicated user in the central SLD.
What I do not understand is why. Why can't I get away with using the SLDDSUSER of the central SLD for all data suppliers? What difference does it make if I have a dedicated user for each data supplier in the central SLD?
I have 10 systems to send data to my central SLD and I want to avoid creating 10 different users, if it can be avoided

Creating a System in System Landscape of EP7.0 connecting to ESS6.0

Could someone explain in detail and hopefully with examples, of the process of creating the System with the alias 'SAP_WebDynpro_XSS' in the System Landscape when implementing ESS.
I am getting an error message of wrong password, and I think it has to do with the fact that I haven't entered this data in correctly.
Thanks,

URGENT: Changing System Landscape in ChaRM

Ok...here is our situation:
We use ChaRM with a 3 tier system landscape (DEV > USER > PROD).
Out USER system has been down for a month (maintenance) so we went live with ChaRM as follows:
DEV > PREPROD >PROD
Our USER system is now back up and running so we have replaced the Logical Component on the project to reflect this. This has worked ok but the task list is still showing the old system landscape. i.e. its showing PREPROD still instead of USER. How do I resolve this?
Do I have to complete the existing cycle and then create a new one? This would be fine except I would lose all the jobs I have scheduled in the task list (schedule every 15min EVERY day....took me ages).
Any suggestions?
Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi,
About this issue, there is a detail information about this in blog point 6 u201CChanges in the logical components of a project where Charm is already activatedu201D.
This is the link: http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/15116
So, you have to change the transport route accordingly and then close current maintenance cycle and generate a new one.
Following is the steps.
1: please import all the transport requests which were associated in the current maintenance cycle task list by STMS manually import.
1: change transport route from DEV > PREPROD >PROD to DEV > USER > PROD on the domain controller system.
2: close current maintenance cycle.
3: change the system landscape to DEV > USER > PROD in solar_project_admin.
4: generate a new maintenance cycle.
Thanks

Vikram
