SLD Export / import Technical and Business systems

[Former Member]

Dear all,

I am new to SLD administration.

We have task to update the local SLD on the Production PI system PPI ( Target ) with the business systems ZEC, ZSC from the Production Master SLD on Production solution manager system

PSM ( source ) using Export/Import on the necessary technical and business systems.

Please confirm whether i am following correct steps :

Go to SLD Administration on PPI target system

ALL Instances

Instances by Class

Model

( which one of this option need to be selected , please let me know ?? )

Go to SLD Administration on PSM source system.

select Export button ->

Select business systems one by one and perform Export which will create .ZIP file

at local machine.

Go to SLD Administration on PPI target system

select Import button ->

Select Export ZIP file which created in previous steps from PSM and provide location from desktop

Start Import button ( only if you get Continue import option )

Please let me know if above procedure is correct for business systems

if yes then what need to be done for Technical system ??...do they require Export/import also ?

If yes when i go to technical system option i get Export option disabled...but same way when i go to

business systems option i get Export button enable and able to perform the export.

Do i need to only Export / Import business systems ?

Plese help me.

Regards,

RR

Thanks. We have successfully Exported and mported ZEC system from source to target system.

But during import of Technical system for ZSC system , i found an entry already exist in

Target system..

Could anybody guide me ...either should i overwrite this Technical system.

I am not aware how come that entry already exist ....

Should i just overwrite this technical system ZSC in target system.

Or i need to remove present entry from target system first and start import for that particular

technical system ???

Did you check what entries are available in ZSC system? May be somebody added manually while configuring SLD.

Manoj,

It seems entries are added manually .... should we remove and run Import for the same ...

or just try to overwrite .... in case of overwrite option ( as we have open OSS message ) SAP has suggested through OSS message that If you end up with problems when trying to overwrite, then the PPI SLD is broken and will have to be re-built because someone made a manual change to it and got the GUIDs out of synch with the master.

I do not understand if target system PPI SLD gets broken during overwriting operation as mentioned by SAP ... whats is the way / steps / procedure to Re-build SLD .

In rebuilt - process do i need to Import ( Export -> Export lines -> ALL ) the export backup created before start of this activity ? please let me know SLD rebuilt steps and about Remove - reimport issue.

Appreciate you time on this. thanks in advance.
