Hi,

<u><b>SLD:</b></u>

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>

<u>

<b>SOFTWARE CATALOG:</b></u>

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>

<u><b>TECHNICAL SYSTEM, BUSINESS SYSTEMS, SOFTWARE PRODUCTS:</b></u>

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:
