SLD Overview DISCLAIMERS This is not an SLD configuration presentation I am not an SLD functional expert SLD – SolMan configuration is presented at a high level This assumes production SLD is currently in place For SLD details, look at Dan King’s (IBM) presentation from 2010 BI-Portals Conference or 2010 TechEd Conference Content for next few slides from his presentation © 2011 Harley-Davidson, Inc.

SLD Overview What’s an SLD? SLD is System Landscape Directory Stand-alone Java stack w/Gateway process, or As part of a XI-PI system The SLD is an encyclopedia of your enterprise systems: Technical infrastructure – physical hosts Java-ABAP-MDM-Other system types Business systems – application instances What versions of software components are installed where Transport paths from DEV  QA  Production… © 2011 Harley-Davidson, Inc.

SLD Overview Do I Need the SLD? Depends: SAP NetWeaver Process Integration (PI) SAP NetWeaver Development Infrastructure (NWDI) SAP GRC SAP NetWeaver Enterprise Portal (EP) SAP Solution Manager Diagnostics– optional SAP Netweaver 7.1 Installation © 2011 Harley-Davidson, Inc.

SLD Overview SAP Netweaver 7.1 Install © 2011 Harley-Davidson, Inc.

SLD Overview Starting SLD & SAP Systems In production, when systems are restarted in specific sequences, connections may not come back to life: - The SLD must be running when SAP NetWeaver PI is started - ABAP SLD clients and SLD data suppliers will fail if the ABAP gateway they use is down We start SLD first © 2011 Harley-Davidson, Inc.

SLD Overview SLD Suppliers These push technical system information to the SLD Technical system names and System IDs App server hostnames Configured RFC destinations … Where are they? Transaction RZ70 for ABAP SLD Data Supplier service for Java (Visual Administrator) Executable program “sldreg” for standalone components (MDM) They run on system startup and every 12 hours Scheduled jobs are configured by wizards in the above transactions You can see the ABAP job in the job logs in SM37 © 2011 Harley-Davidson, Inc.

SLD Overview SLD Clients These read data from the SLD ABAP transaction SLDAPICUST SLD Data Supplier Service  CIM Client tab in Java VA © 2011 Harley-Davidson, Inc.

SLD Overview SLD Synchronization SLD Data Supplier Bridge in all releases Broadcasts Data Supplier technical information to other SLDs Does not push manually-created or SLD-client-created data Configured in the SLD NOTE: Does NOT retroactively sync up! SLD Autosync available in 7.1 Synchronizes all SLD information, including manual - or client created Can be bi-directional Source SLD can be 7.0 © 2011 Harley-Davidson, Inc.

H-D SLD Landscape Upgrade to PI V7.1 XI/PI 7.0 used production SLD PI 7.1 requires a 7.1 SLD No upgrade to 7.1 for SLD is currently available Had to use PI’s SLD for PI © 2011 Harley-Davidson, Inc.

SLD - SolMan Configuration For <=SP17 follow the guide: Setup SLD in the scope of E2E Root Cause Analysis Solution Manager SP17 For >= SP18, use SOLMAN_SETUP IMPORTANT: The newly available Solution Manager 7.0 EhP1 (also known as Solution Manager 7.01 SP18), has introduced a guide setup procedure (transaction solman_setup), which in particular includes an automated setup of the Solution Manager (local) SLD. Therefore several parts of this guide will no longer need to be performed manually in the scope of EhP1. © 2011 Harley-Davidson, Inc.

SLD - SolMan Configuration Set up RZ70 and SLDAPICUST in ABAP Set up SolMan local SLD Connect the productive SLD to SolMan’s SLD © 2011 Harley-Davidson, Inc.

Lessons Learned/Comments Don’t need SLD-SolMan configured for <= SP17 for SMD Need SLD-SolMan configured for >= SP18 (ehp1) for SMD Configuration assumes production SLD is in place DO NOT use SolMan’s SLD as the production SLD 7.1 Netweaver install REQUIRES an SLD SLD guides are in SDN SLD-SolMan guide is in a note Biggest challenge was the roles/auths created in the Java UME Trouble free once it’s configured © 2011 Harley-Davidson, Inc.
