Landscape Fetch Job Fails

[former_member186439]

We have configured our Solution Manager 4.0 system to use System Landscape Directory. In SMSY_SETUP we are trying to schedule the job to pull landscape data from SLD into Solution Manager. The job that SMSY_SETUP creates fails with the message "The SLD server connection is inactive".

We can logon and view data in SLD. Connection Tests for the SAPSLDAPI RFC Destination are successful in SM59.

Any ideas?

Hello,

We had a simular problem and we solved it by increasing the server count with Visual Adminitor for program SLDAPI_<SID>.

You do tthis so:

Go to visual admin ->server->services->JCO RFC Provider->SLD_<SID>->server count.

Try this.

Hi. I am having similar problems ( SLD connection inactive in SMSY_SETUP logs but connect test OK with SM59 ) and was wondering if I can get some clarification from you. I know that I need to enter the user id/password in SLDAPICUST and it works if I use a basis admin ID but I want to use the standard SLDAPIUSER ID. Is the "SLDAPIUSER" a user in the SLD or a user in the solutuion manager system ? Also what roles are assigned to this user ? Thx.

Hi Steven,

have you configured the settings in transaction SLDAPICUST?

You can also check the settings with transaction SLDCHECK, the first 3 checks should be green.

Pascal,

Yes you were correct that we needed to use transaction SLDAPICUST. Somehow, our password stored in that transaction for the SLDAPIUSER was no longer valid. We also had to go to the Expert Settings of the SMSY_SETUP transaction and blank out the "Namespace in SLD" value.

Hi Steven,

good, so it works now?

In the expert settings, I have sld/active as namespace and it works as it should, but I did not configure any user/password there, also the host is empty. I don't really understand why there are two ways of setting up the connection to the SLD, for me only the SLDAPICUST way works and is configured.

Hi Steven and Pascal,

regarding Pascals question: In the expert settings the

SLD User and SLD Host should not be used (it is enough to leave 'SLD Host' empty). They exist for historical reasons and will probably be removed in the future.

SLDAPICUST is the right place to configure the connection to the SLD.
