Configuring sldreg and Transferring Data to SLD 

Use

Before you can use the sldreg to transfer data to SLD, you must configure it.

Prerequisites

...

       1.      The SLD server is running.

       2.      You have a user assigned to the DataSupplierLD role. The user must be specific for this computer and must not be used on another computer.

       3.      You have logged on to the operating system as a <sid>adm user.

Procedure

From the command line, change the directory to /usr/sap/<SID>/SYS.

Configuring sldreg

...

       1.      To check the path to the program, enter sldreg.

The sldreg command line parameters are printed.

       2.      Enter sldreg -configure slddest.cfg –usekeyfile.

       3.      You will be prompted to enter HTTP user, password, host, and port information.

The program creates the slddest.cfg and slddest.cfg.key files.

Make sure that users other than <sapsid>adm do not have read and write permissions for the slddest.cfg.key file.

Using this global directory, all generic data suppliers of the current SAP NetWeaver system can send data to the same SLD with one central configuration.

Transferring Data to SLD

...

Test your configuration by sending detailed data about your computer to SLD:

       1.      Enter saposcol –b.

A short XML document is printed.

       2.      Enter saposcol –b | sldreg -connectfile slddest.cfg -stdin -oldtransferdtd.

The oldtransferdtd option is required for compatibility reasons and is specific for SAPOSCOL only.

The program output is as follows:

HTTP response: Success. HTTP status code: 200

End SLD Registration

Data send status: true

You can see your computer as an SAP_ComputerSystem instance in SLD. In addition, details such as the sizes of the physical and virtual memory are reported.
