1. System Landscape Directory (SLD) is a central repository of information about software and systems.

2. System landscapes describe about the softwares that are installed, the products that are installed on different networks (hosts) and their instances.

3. SLD is based on software catalog (installed products and their components) and systems catalog (business systems {logical view} and technical systems {physical view} )

Hope this helps you in getting a brief idea.. If you need more details, you can mail me call2chandu@yahoo.co.in

Hi ,

SLD contains all the information of landscapes or SAP products.You can create techincal systems and business systems with the help of SLD.

You can create any no of business systems for a technical system but not vice versa.You can use business system/business service in your scenarios.

It depends on the scenario that you can choose business service/bussiness system.

..If you are dealing with proxie/Idocs..you can use business system.You can use business service in all remaining cases.You can execute your scenario with single business system/business service also...

You can execute your scenario without configuring SLD also by using Business service...
