Relation between SLD, IR and ID

[Former Member]

Can anyone please tell me the technical relation between SLD, IR, ID. In a scenario, at what steps they get related?

Naveen,

SLD is where you define your software catalog (products & software components) & system catalog (technical & business systems). IR uses the software catalog during design and ID uses the system catalog wherein you import your business system for configuration.

Hi Naveen,

SLD is one of the technical configuration tools which is used to maintain data of a XI landscape, the other being the exchange profile. All the other tools say your integration builder tools, RWB etc communicate with these tools to obtain the technical configuration data of a given XI landscape. When an XI component communicates with another XI component, the exchange profile is accessed to obtain the required communication data.

The SLD contains configuration data of an XI landscape and information about the software components installed.

Landscape description contains all installed systems in a system landscape. When a collaborative business process is configured, the landscape description is needed to determine the system information of the business partners involved.

Component information, that is information about all available SAP products and components, their versions,third-party products in the system landscape,are registered here. At design time of the integration objects, the component information is extracted from the SLD to define your business scenarios.

Communication between your J2EE server components i.e the IR ID RWB etc and the SLD is using the HTTP connections and access data for this is configured in the exchange profile. Step one in your repository would be to access the sld so that you can import the software component versions so that you can create your namespace and start defining and designing your objects and so on..

Hence you can say that System Landscape Directory (SLD) a server application which is your central information provider in a system landscape.

In simple terms,

SLD -> This is where you define your system landscape. That involves configuring your software components, technical and business systems involved in the scenarios.

IR -> you define your data types , mesg. types , mesg. interfaces, Integration processes, mappings etc here. The software component in the SLD is imported to the IR.

ID -> the Business systems are imported into the ID. The interfaces in the IR and the mappings are used here to create a flow of your messages involved in a scenario.

IR and ID are fat clients to SLD. SLD is where you configure Landscape listing out the Technical and Business details of Sender and receiver systems.

IR and ID uses these configuration settings in completing a scenario. IR is used for designing and ID is used for configuring.

Let us come to scenario.

1. In IR, you use SLD configuration settings for importing certain objects like RFC and IDocs.

2. In ID, actual routing rules comes, where you use these settings in defining Business sytem or relating Business scenario. There after defining Sender agreements, Receiver agreements, Interface determination and receiver determination.
