SLD Requirements - Config. Is XI required?

[Former Member]

Greetings,

I'm building a sandbox ECC 5.0 environment (we're upgrading from 4.6B in a few months) for my config analysts. In addition to our Core apps - i.e. the old, straight forward R/3 "stuff", we're rolling out the Internet Sales App. (ISA) on Java WebAS.

I'm trying to figure out what I'll need from a software/infrastructure requirements standpoint to support "Netweaver." We want to use the SLD during and post upgrade.

I first tried to get SLD working on my Java WebAs. I couldn't get it working - i.e. pass /sldcheck transaction. It wasn't until I installed XI and put the SLD on that was I able to go through and do all the config and get it seeing all the other systems.

My question is, is XI required or did I just miss something on the initial java WebAS conig?

Regards,

Bob Simard

No, you do not need XI: You can point your browser to http://<hostname>:<port>/sld to do all the configuration tasks.
