Launching the SLM 

Use

The SLM is a Web application. You can access it from your Web browser.

Prerequisites

The Max heap size (in MB) property on all server processes is set to at least 512 using the Config Tool in the Message Server & Bootstrap ® Bootstrap Java settings pane. For more information, see Configuring Instance Properties.

Procedure

...

       1.      To configure the proxy:

                            a.      Log in to the Visual Administration of the J2EE Engine instance where the SLM is running.

The user must have enough authorizations to make the changes

                            b.      Go to Cluster ® Server ® Services ® Web Services Container.

                            c.      In Runtime, select the Settingstab.

                            d.      Update the proxy information.

                            e.      Choose Save.

       2.      To use SLM to download files from SAP Service Marketplace, you have to check whether two Web service destinations are set. To do so, in Visual Administrator go to Server ® Services ® Destinations ® Runtime tab. For more information, see Destination Service.

The Web service destination names are the following:

○       sap.com/tc~slm~interfaces/com.sap.slm.interfaces.proxies.SDCProx

/BORM_SWDC_API_SLM_INST_GET_DLPortType

○       sap.com/tc~slm~interfaces/com.sap.slm.interfaces.proxies.sp.

SPProxy/BORM_SWDC_API_SLM_SP_GET_DLPortType

To get the required values of the parameters for both Web service destinations:

                            a.      Go to http://service.sap.com/sap/bc/bsp/spn/swdc/slm/accessctrl.do

                            b.      Enter your S-user name and password for the SAP Service Marketplace.

                            c.      You are redirected to a new URL,

                            d.      Enter this value in Destination ® URL and Destination ® Name.

                            e.      Leave Destination ® Authentication empty.

       3.      Restart the tc~slm~interfaces application or the whole J2EE Engine.

       4.      Enter the URL of the SLMapplication using the following pattern:

http://<host>:<port>/slm.

       5.      Enter User ID and Password, and choose Log on.

In this step, the SLM checks the Common Information Model (CIM Model) version and the Component Repository (CR) content import date defined in the SLD. Then SLM compares them with the CIM Model version and CR content export date defined in the SLM. There are three possibilities:

¡        If the CIM Model version defined in the SLM is not up-to-date, you receive an error message. You cannot work in the SLM until you import the latest CIM Model version.

¡        Three months after CR content has been last imported, you receive a warning message. You can work in the SLM but we recommended that you import the latest CR content.

¡        Six months after CR content has been last imported, you receive an error message and you cannot work in the SLM until you import the latest CR content.

For more information about importing CIM Model versions and CR content, see Updating the Software Catalog.
