Hi all,

could you please me as to what to reply if any one asks you to say what is ur Landscape. related to SAP XI

Hi,

Landscape is like a server system or like a layout of the servers or some may even call it the architecture of the servers viz. SAP is divided into three different lanscape DEV, QAS and PROD.

- DEV would have multiple clients for ex: 190- Sandbox, 100- Golden, 180- Unit Test.

- QAS may again have mutiple clients for ex: 300- Integration Test, 700 to 710 Training.

- PROD may have something like a 200 Production.

DEVELOPMENT ---> QUALITY -

---

> PRODUCTION

DEVELOPMENT : is where the the consultants do the customization as per the company's requirement.

QUALITY : is where the core team members and other members test the customization.

PRODUCTION : is where the live data of the company is recorded.

A request will flow from Dev->Qual->Prod and not backwards.

1. Sandbox server: In the initial stages of any implementation project, You are given a sandbox server where you do all the configuration/customization as per the companies business process.

2. Development Server: - Once the BBP gets signed off, the configuration is done is development server and saved in workbench requests, to be transported to Production server.

3. Production Server: This is the last/ most refined client where the user will work after project GO LIVE. Any changes/ new develpoment is done is development client and the request is transported to production.

These three are landscape of any Company. They organised their office in these three way. Developer develop their program in Development server and then transport it to test server. In testing server tester check/test the program and then transport it to Production Server. Later it will deploy to client from production server.

Presentaion Server- Where SAP GUI have.

Application Server - Where SAP Installed.

Database Server - Where Database installed.

Hi,

follow the steps which i give u can clearly understand,

Just when u see the architecture of XI u can clearly understood that everything was interdependent in XI,

Why WebAS is used in the sense the integration builder which is present in the Netweaver will basically run in the explorer, which depends on the java stack, so a platform is required which is used to support both ABAP as well as JAVA, so a unique architecture or we can say platform was introduced to build a system which is nothing but WebAS, it may be WebAS JAVA or WebAS ABAP.

and when u come to the servers part, it is quite differient when compared with XI3.0 and PI7.0 and at the same time in PI we have a provision of installing the both java and abap as central instance and when u see in XI3.0 u need to sepatrately configure for both java and ABAP, as a whole in concern we dont see separately in the servers part..

So, if any one asks u to define about the landscape basically it contains..

*1. DEVELOPMENT 2. QUALITY 3.PRODUCTION SERVER *

Each development, Quality and Production basically consists SLD.. we can maintain a central SLD for all the servers and we can also even maintain seperate SLD for each and every phase..

But preferrably, maintain a * single SLD for all the 3 phases of the servers *

SLD can be classified into 2 as

1. Software Catalog

2. System Catalog

Software catalog consists with Products and Software Components.

If u know Ms-Office we can understand better, Ms-Office is an Product in which Ms-Word and Ms-Excel and others are the components of the Ms-Office product in similar any object created in XI should store under any software component so we require a Software Component and at the same time this Software Components should be under Products, so we are creating products the hierarchy will be like this for software catalog

PRODUCTS -

---

>>> SOFTWARE COMPONENTS -

---

>> NAMESPACES CREATED DURING DESIGN -

---

> OBJECTS

System Catalog consists with Techinal System and Business System

Technical System is the physical entity but where as the Business System is the logical system of the Technical System..

i.e an n number of business systems are created for a singel Technical system.

Basically while developing the scenarios it is difficult to share the technical system so we develop instance of the technical system i,e a logical system.

for further clarification revert back with querie

Hi,

We can say the Landscape is of 2 types

1) According to the Integration perspective

Sender Application Xi and Receiver Applications

2) According to the Transporting perspective

DEV---QTY---PRD
