Making Settings in the SLD 

Procedure

The SLD is part of the J2EE Engine. To activate and configure an SLD; you need to perform the following steps:

...

       1.      Execute the following URL to open the SLD start page: http://<host>:<port>/sld. <Host> and <Port> are the values for the associated J2EE Engine.

       2.      Choose Administration ® Server Settings.

       3.      In the Object Server input field, specify the host of the J2EE Engine on which the SLD is running.

Then choose Set and return to the Administration screen.

You only need to set the ABAP Connection Parameters if you select the ABAP radio button in the Persistence field.

       4.      If the Java system has multiple server nodes, choose Profile and set the parameter Object Manager – BufferInstances to False.

Choose Save and return to the Administration screen.

       5.      Choose Start Server.

       6.      To start the import of the CIM model data about SAP components:

                            a.      Choose Import in the Content area.

                            b.      Select the <SAP Inst Dir.>\<SysID>\SYS\global\sld\model\CR_Content.zip document.

                            c.      Choose Import File and return to the Administration screen.

The CIM model must have at least the status 1.4.26. To check the status, choose Details ® Data. The version is displayed in the Model Version column.

       7.      To be able to transfer information about the monitored systems to the SLD, you need to enter the connection data for an SAP Gateway in Data Supplier Bridge:

                            a.      Specify Server and Service (by default: sapgw<System No.>)

                            b.      Set Update local SLD to true.

Use the SAP Gateway of the SLD system. If your SLD is running on a standalone Java system, you also have to install a standalone SAP Gateway.

                            c.      Choose Set and then Start Bridge to start the Data Supplier Bridge.

 

Additional Information

If there is already a productive SLD in your system landscape (for example, for XI), but you do not wish to use this for the NWA, configure a separate SLD for the NWA. To do this, proceed as follows:

...

       1.      Leave the connections from the monitored systems to the existing SLD unchanged (as detailed above, you can view or change these using transaction RZ70 or the SLD Data Supplier.)

       2.      Define a forwarding of the registration data:

                            a.      In the productive SLD, choose Administration ® Data Supplier Bridge and then choose the Add SLD… option.

                            b.      Enter the connection data for the NWA SLD in the New SLD Client group box and then save your entries.

With default settings, the monitored systems appear in the NWA SLD after a maximum of 720 minutes. To be able to see the monitored systems immediately in the NWA SLD, you need to manually restart the data transfer in these systems (transaction RZ70 or SLD Data Supplier.)

       3.      Create the connections from CEN to the NWA SLD in the normal way, in accordance with Steps in CEN (ABAP): Connection to the SLD and Steps in the Visual Administrator in the NWA System.
