Setting up the Name Server 

Use

In this step, you set up the name server for registering the reserved prefix for the name reservation service.

Prerequisites

You work in the System Landscape Directory (SLD).

Procedure

Register the name server in the SLD of your landscape; this declares it as the name server for the development infrastructure. In this case, the role of the server must be the name server. The name server checks the uniqueness of names and enables you to define name prefixes. The name server is a role of an SLD. The other role is the landscape server role. The setup of the name server takes place in the same way as the setup of the SLD server. Execute the following steps:

...

       1.      Activate the name server.

For the name server, the Object Server name must be a namespace reserved and declared as the SAP NetWeaver Name Server on SAP Service Marketplace.

       2.      Import the SAP master component information.

       3.      Configure the SLD data suppliers.

You have to release the SLD for CIM clients as follows:

...

       1.      Open the Visual Administrator and log on as an administrator.

       2.      Choose Server → Services →  SLD Data Supplier.

       3.      Choose the CIM Client Generation Settings tab page.

       4.      Mark the checkbox of the following entry: sap.com/com.sap.lcr/lcrcimom.jar.

The procedure differs depending on whether you are using one SLD with both roles specified above, or separate SLDs for each of the roles.

If you run the two features of SLD and name reservation service in one system in parallel, the server must have both roles of Landscape Server and Name Server.

Using a single SLD

...

       1.      Go to the initial page of the SLD.

       2.      Choose Enable Name Reservation for NWDI.

Alternatively, you can proceed as described below and select both roles for the SLD.

Using Separate SLDs

...

       1.      Go to the initial page of the SLD.

       2.      Choose Landscapes.

       3.      Choose New Landscape…

       4.      In the page that appears, select the landscape type NWDI System.

       5.      Specify NWDI as the name of the landscape. Choose Create.

The new landscape is displayed.

       6.      Select the new landscape.

You see the details about the landscape.

       7.      Choose Systems and then choose Add System to Landscape.

       8.      Choose the hosted system type System Landscape Directory. Choose OK.

You see the installed SLD.

       9.      Select the SLD.

The details view appears.

   10.      Select the roles Landscape Server and Name Server and save your changes.

The name server is now known to the NWDI and can be used there. Only now can you create valid development configurations.

Result

You have set up the name reservation system.
