Configuring Central System Landscape Directory UsageLocate this document in the navigation structure

Use

In a federated PI landscape, you have the option to use one central System Landscape Directory (SLD).

More information: Using Local and Central System Landscape Directories

Note

This procedure is valid for dual usage type installation as well as for Advanced Adapter Engine Extended.

Procedure

For detailed information on the SLD and how to configure it, check out the following page in SAP Community Network: http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/nw-sldInformation published on SAP site.

This section provides a summary of the configuration steps to set up a central SLD.

For reasons of simplicity, we assume that you have a federated PI landscape with one central PI instance (SAP system ID <CEN>) and one local PI instance (SAP system ID <LOC>).

Note

Typically, you have more than one local PI instances.

Caution

When you use a central SLD, you must not register multiple systems with the same system ID.

Configuration Tasks in the SLD of the Central PI Instance (Dual Usage Type and AEX)

  1. Log on to the SLD and choose Start of the navigation path Administration Next navigation step Content Synchronization End of the navigation path.

  2. Choose Add .

  3. Keep the selection Remote and select Bidirectional .

  4. Choose Next .

  5. On the following pages of the wizard, enter the following data:

    • Under Source SLD , enter the data (URL, user, password) of the local system ( <LOC>).

    • Keep the selection under Source Namespace .

    • Under Local SLD , enter the data (URL, user, password) of the central system ( <CEN>).

  6. After you have entered the date, choose Finish .

For detailed information, check out the document Data Handling in the SAP NetWeaver System Landscape Directory - Step-by-Step on SAP Community Network at http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/60a44163-4ff8-2c10-839e-af7cdf58faf0Information published on SAP site (in particular, section 4.2).

Create the following users in the central SLD:

  • PIDIR<LOC>

  • PIREP<LOC>

  • PIIS<LOC>

  • PIRWB<LOC>

  • PIAF<LOC>

Here, <LOC> is the system ID of a connected local system. Create these users for each connected system.

Configuration Tasks on the Local PI Instance (Dual Usage Type and AEX)

  1. Logon to SAP NetWeaver Administrator and choose Start of the navigation path Configuration Next navigation step Connectivity Next navigation step Destinations End of the navigation path.

  2. Change the destinations SLD_Client and SLD_DataSuplier to target at the central SLD.

    More information on destinations: Destinations for Technical Communication

  3. To send data to the central SLD, choose Start of the navigation path Configuration Next navigation step Infrastructure Next navigation step  SLD Data Supplier Configuration End of the navigation path and thereafter select Collect and Send Data (optional).

Configuration Tasks on the Local PI Instance (Only Dual Usage Type)

You need to change SLD-relevant destinations.
