SLD and PI

[vladimir_kogan4]

Dear Gurus.

My question is about a role of SLD on PI work.

Does the PI need the SLD server available during runtime, not only at design phase?

For example PI using central SLD, or SLD running on another instance. In case that SLD is down - can I stop PI runtime?

Regards

SLD is required for RWB during runtime, it's a must.

Hello Vladimir,

SLD calls for runtime message processing are definitely required for ABAP proxy communication. IDOCs should work without SLD, for example, SOAP calls, too. Since ABAP proxy is quite common, this is the reason why most installations don't run a productive runtime SLD on a different server.

My information may be incomplete, though.

Thank to all of them!

In my scenario there is PI on J2EE stack only.

When I have 3 PI systems, DEV QAS PRD with full sync between them, which one should be a master SLD, where all systems are registered?

Hi Vladimir,

Suggestion would be to maintain single SLD in DEV or QAS for both (DEV and QAS) and a separate SLD for PRD.

so, by separating PRD SLD you would have very less impact for any changes that you do in non-production environments.

Thanks,

Hi,

Dev, QA and Prod. are involved in flow of transport requests and this flow is enabled through a workflow process. Since all these flows towards Prod., hence it is clear that Prod. is the system where everything flows. However sometimes we also have the reverse flow (sometimes in case of idocs). So, considering the above scenario if we talk about master SLD, since we do not have any direct flow from dev. to Prod, or from Prod. to dev. hence the intermediate QA should be the master SLD since it directs flows towards various systems.

Hi Vladimir,

Yes, SLD should be available. else interfaces using sld components will stop at runtime.

SLDCHECK transaction allows you to check the connectivity between your Business system and SLD.

for eg to do the test, you configure wrong sld host in the transaction SLDAPICUST then try to run proxy or any interface then you get the error Business system is not available.

Cheers

Yes, PI Need SLD running during runtime as the RWB components fetch most of the data from SLD during runtime.
