hi,

what is the importance of assigning correct prod and swc ?

If you install your products and s/w components on your Techincal system...while configuring your scenario in ID...that would helps you in many wayz..

like suppose when you are creating a communication channel..you need to give your sender name sender interface..in sender name you need to give your business system name..then while selecting sender inetrface...only the message interfaces related to that s/w component or displayed..

simlar case with receiver communation channel...sender agreement...receiver agreement..receiver determination..

Thanks,

Vijaya.

Hi Nilesh,

A software product (such as SAP R/3) may exist in multiple versions (such as 4.6c, 4.6d, and 4.7)

A software component is a unit of software delivery that has its own support package track. Examples of Software Components are SAP_APPL, SAP_ABA, SAP_HR, etc.

A Software Product is composed of one or more software components. For instance, the product R/3 version 4.6C has components:

SAP BASIS

SAP APPL

SAP ABA

The relationship between a software product and its constituent components is described in the SLD by an association called a Software Feature.

u2022To summarize: Products are collection of Software Components; both Software Products and Components exist in versions.

u2022Products are installed on Technical systems, which describe the concrete structure of Systems in the Data Center.

u2022Applications communicate with Business Systems, which provide a logical view of the system that participate in a particular Integration Scenario.

What is a PRODUCT? Why it is created?

Represents a collection of all versions of a product. A product is a unit that can be delivered, is visible to the customer, and that is installable and renewable. In an SAP environment, a product corresponds to an SAP technical component

What is a S/W COMPONENT? Why it is created?

Software components combine components (DCs) to larger units for delivery and deployment.

u2022 Every top-level component must be assigned to exactly one software component.

u2022 Child components always belong to the same software component as their parent.

u2022 The assignment of DCs to software components is not static and may change over time.

u2022 Software components cannot be nested into each other.

Software components have globally unique names, which are structured according to the rules for DC names. You must define the name when you create the software component; the name cannot be changed later. Names of software components usually consist of a vendor ID and only one segment, such as sap.com/crm.

Perform the following steps:

1. On the SLD start page of your SLD host, choose Technical Systems.

The Technical Systems page appears.

2. Select Web AS ABAP as type of your technical system.

3. In the table displayed, choose the technical system (<SAPSID on host name>) that you have created for the Integration Server with transaction RZ70. See the Installation Guide SAP NetWeaver 7.0 at SAP Service Marketplace at service.sap.com/installNW70.

A details screen appears, where you can maintain the technical system.

4. On the Installed Products tab page, choose Add new Product.

A list of available products appears.

5. In the product list, select the product SAP NetWeaver 7.0.

6. Make sure that at least the component SAP BASIS 700 is selected in the software component version list.

7. Choose Save.

Regards,

Vinod.
