Harley-Davidson, Inc. 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 Kings (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 Whats 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

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

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

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. SLD

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

Lessons Learned/Comments
Dont need SLD-SolMan configured for = SP18 (ehp1) for SMD
Configuration assumes production SLD is in place DO NOT use SolMans
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 its
configured 2011 Harley-Davidson, Inc. Resources SDN: Search on:
