ECC to PI and PO SLD Connection

[abhradeepbasu]

PO is recently introduced to our landscape whereas existing PI 7.0 will be acting as usual. Need to connect 2 ESRs with one ECC. Found some blogs on the steps on how to do but confusion is on how the ECC config will be in terms of SLD connection. i:e: LCRSAPRFC,  SAPSLDAPI.  How to get these connected to new PO server.

Abhradeep,

Just to add on, while you can only connect the ECC system to only 1 ESR/SLD during design time, it is possible to connect to multiple PI/PO systems during runtime. Check Vadim's answer in the following thread for a thorough explanation of it.

Eng Swee,

Hi Abhradeep,

from ECC you can connect only one SLD either PO or PI. So if you want to send message from ECC to both system PO and PI you need to maintained the same name for ECC business system in both the SLD.

Hi Abhradeep,

I think you must distinct between ESR and SLD. Harish is correct that you only can connect one SLD from ECC. Same is true for ESR.

However, for SLD you could leave connection as it is (to PI 7.0) and use so called bridge forwarding to transfer SLD from PI SLD to PO SLD. Instead of bridge forwarding you could also use SLD synchronisation, which would not only include automatically registered data but self created SWCVs and products and the like

Please see here for reference SLD Content Synchronization - Configuring, Working with and Administering System Landscape Directory...

I would suggest to use Bridge Forwarding in this situation. We have a similar situation (old PI 7.0 and new PI 7.4) and are currently doing bridge forwarding from 7.0 SLD to 7.4 SLD. Works like a charm.

Cheers

Hi,

Got your point now. Thanks.

So how inbound scneario will work? Do we need to create any kind of RFC in PO which will point to the ECC?
