Configuring TREX for the System Landscape Directory (SLD)

Generating SLD Configuration Files

1. 1. Set the environment variables required by TREX by executing the following scripts in a command prompt in the directory <TREX_DIR>:

Windows

1. TREXSettings.bat

1. 2. Execute the following command:

- Without usekeyfile: sldreg -configure <path>/slddest.cfg

To configure TREX for the System Landscape Directory (SLD), you copy the SLD configuration files slddest.cfg and slddest.cfg.key (if available) to the global SLD directory on your TREX host.

By copying the files slddest.cfg and slddest.cfg.key, you have configured TREX for integration in the System Landscape Directory (SLD).

Validate SLD configuration activation:

1. 1. To display the information about TREX systems and services navigate to the screen Content Maintenance

·          In the initial screen for the System Landscape Directory ? Administration ? Content: Content Maintenance

1. 2. In the screen Content Maintenance navigate to Subset and choose All With Instances in the dropdown list.

3. Navigate to Class. In the dropdown list you can display the TREX Services (for example TREX Index Service, TREX Name Service) and TREX systems known by SLD.

Configuring the RFC Connection in the TREX Admin Tool

1. 1. On the RFC: Current tab page in the Landscape: Connectivity window, choose the Create Connection  function.

1. 2. Choose connection type A or B. Specify the connection data for the SAP system (see Determining the SAP System Connection Information [Page 58]).

1. 3. Specify the SAP system user, the associated password, and the client

that the TREX admin tool is to use to log on

Completing the RFC Configuration

...

1. On the RFC: Current tab page in the Landscape: Connectivity window, choose the Connect Admin Tool function.

The TREX admin tool creates the connection to all SAP systems that are known to it. Because the RFC configuration is still incomplete, the configuration status is yellow or red.

1. 2. Choose Repair All.

The TREX admin tool completes the RFC configuration and starts the TREX RFC server.

This can take several minutes. During this time, the configuration status remains yellow or red. After completion of the configuration process, the status changes to green.

Do not choose Repair All several times in quick succession. This would trigger the configuration process more than once and delay it.

1. 3. Check the progress by choosing Refresh to update the display.

Thanks
