SLD for NW 7.31 PO with De-Central Adapters

[Setu_Shah]

What's best practice for setting up an SLD in a landscape with multiple de-central adapters? Our landscape:

• 3 tier landscape (DEV/QA/PROD with multiple QA environments) - java stack only
• QA and PROD will have multiple de-central adapters
• Each SID currently has a local SLD

My approach:

• Central adapter serves as central SLD
• Central adapter, via SLD bridge, sends data to de-central adapters and solution manager
  

The reason I'm choosing to create a bridge between the central and de-central's rather than have the de-central adapters use the central adapter as their SLD is to avoid having a single point of failure.

My question - is it possible to have the central adapter sync data to multiple SLD's? If so, how is this accomplished?

Thanks,

Hi,

My approach would be.

PRD :

Full installation of SAP PO that is central.

Then multiple installation of SAP PO De-central in the DMZ's.

Reason in DMZ(This will minimize network changes. They come in via one IP and we distribute using de-centralised adapters.

But all of these de-central adapters still tie back to the central SLD in your landshape.

I would not try and sync data to multiple SLD's.

Thank you for your feedback. This would still result in our central adapter being a single point of failure. If it's down, all de-central adapters are essentially down as well since the SLD is required. We're trying to avoid this scenario.

Understand your concern. But as far as i know you might be looking at a costing implication when you try and install a complete PO.

Please have a look at this link below. Think this will help you.

Because you might have to do AEX

Hi Jannus,

Sorry the delay in my response. The link states that we can use AEX for the de-central, however SAP's document doesn't detail that, and still lists AAE as the de-central adapter. Source:

Concepts - Process Orchestration - SAP Library

With that said, it's still not clear on the SLD config for central/de-central. We're in the process of building/configuring a sandbox so we'll find out soon if using an SLD bridge from de-central to central will work.

Thanks,
