Central SLD Configuration

Former Member

Dears,

Recently we installed PI DEV and PI QAS server.At time of configuration we choose local SLD option for configuration.

But now we are getting requirement to configure central SLD.

So please confirm which strategy is good between them and if it is central SLD,Please suggest the

procedure to change local SLD configuration to central SLD.

Hi Shivam

The SLD planning guide provided previously is the key source to plan, implement and run an SLD landscape

However what it may not deal with specifically is changing an existing SLD landscape to accomodate a local PI specific

SLD and a new Central SLD for Solution Manager (or other purposes)

Some things to consider when selecting Sync options

1) 1 Dual purpose SLD is not recommended - a central SLD might have different administration requirements than a PI specific SLD

2) Where possible do not change established import or export lines in either SLD

3) Keep all SLDs involved in the sync at the same J2EE version, SP landscape and CIM model/content

As the PI SLD can be productive critical - full consideration has to be given to this SLD as you can

still maintain systems manually in a central SLD manually - or indeed in Solution Manager itself (both manually and automatically via RFC) - therefore I would recommend a unidirectional sync from local PI SLD to Central SLD of PI landscape data only - either manually or automatically or indeed explore any available options to have data suppliers update both SLDs (there was some options similiar to this in older SLD versions - but I am not completely familiar with the latest SLD builds)

I would not however encourage full sync or CIM based sync as there maybe established CIM import lines on either SLD nor would I specifically encourage the Central SLD to influence data on the Local existing PI SLD

Best wishes

Hi Shivam,

the CSS notes :

[#939592 PI Usage Configuration versus Central SLD|http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/939592]

[#720717 Reduce the number of System Landscape Directories (SLD)|http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/720717]

may be helpful.

Dears,

Please suggest how can I change the config from local to central SLD.

As I know we do it by Visual Admin but in PI 7.1 we do not have visual Administrator.

So please suggest.

Hi Shivam,

try following the above notes ([#720717|http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/720717] & [#939592|http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/939592]) and the note [#768148|http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/768148] which is referenced from [#939592|http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/939592] but use the Java Engine User Management,

i.e.,

http://server:port/useradmin

for user role assignment and the NWA 7.1 for configuring the SLD Data Supplier and RFC JCo Destinations,

e.g.,

see the SDN Wiki page -

[NWA 7.1 (for VA users)|http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/x/ngLABg ]

Hi Shivam,

The best practice is to have one central SLD for DEV,QUA and PROD....Having local SLD for each environment will be costly due to synchronization between 3 SLD and maintenence....it depends on requirement also....
