Connecting AS ABAP Systems to the SLD

Use

The following figure shows how AS ABAP systems send system data to the SLD:

The data supplier periodically sends data to the SLD bridge via the Gateway by using an RFC connection.

Procedure

Configuring the SLD Data Supplier

If your AS ABAP system is running on a release lower than 6.30 and contains the data supplier function, you have to perform an initial configuration of the SLD data supplier.

Using SLD API on ABAP-Based Systems

Some components, such as SAP PI and the SAP Solution Manager, use the SLD Application Programming Interface for ABAP-based systems (SLD ABAP API) to read data from and write data to the SLD.
