Updating the CR Content of XI 3.0 system SLD

Former Member

Hello All,

This is a continuation to a question asked earlier in thread "SRM SERVER Standard Content in XI 3.0".

1. Is there any restriction on updating the CR Content of the XI 3.0 system SLD.

For example, can I upgrade my XI 3.0 system SLD to (latest) CR content delta 4.11 for SAP CIM model 1.5.40 which is available on SAP Marketplace as of Jan-2009.

2. Is there any document available on restrictions of XI 3.0 usage now that PI 7.0/ PI7.1 are available.

Thanks,

Ashwin

Hi Ashwin,

In the Post-installation activities defined within the XI SR1 Installation Guide, there is a section called "Updating the CR Data in the SLD". Once this section is complete, you should be able to see SAP delivered Products and SWCs within the SLD. Just go to the SLD and click on the Software Catalog link and you should see the product information there.

The post-installation activities in the install guide also provides you with the base checklist to check you installation. Those are within "Checking the Installation - Part1" and "Part2". Once these are complete and confirmed, developers are ready to design and config. A basic end-to-end scenario would be the ultimate test (e.g. simple file-to-file scenario) since this would touch every major XI component (e.g. adapter engine, integration engine, monitoring components, etc.) and validate your installation.

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.

regards

joel

Hi Ashwin,

Make sure you go thru XI 3.0 Readiness Check Guide to make sure all the components are working correctly. Also make sure you got the latest cr_content.zip file installed in your SLD.

You can update the CR content any time. Your Basis team need to check for the latest version and update it.

Refer to SAP Note# 817920 for the readiness check guide.

Also regarding CRContent file, you don't need to update after each SP application. However, this is a good time to check for CRDelta files which come out every so often. You also have to make sure that you CIM version is in sync with the CRDelta files. You may need to update the CIM as well.

Please refer to Note 669669 for details on the correct process.
