If you have SAP NetWeaver Process Integration in your landscape and want to install SAP NetWeaver Composition Environment, then follow these instructions. These instructions explain how to disable the PI repository application and remove the old repository entry within the PI domain in the System Landscape Directory. Also, it explains how to enable internal PI communication with the Composition Environment ES Repository.

Note Note

ES Repository provides the capabilities to export content from one ES Repository to the other using built-in transport capabilities. You can use the same to transport content from SAP NetWeaver PI to SAP NetWeaver Composition Environment.

End of the note.

Procedure

1. Changes in the ES Repository on the PI System

  1. Export the ES Repository content from the NetWeaver Process Integration ESR.

    More information: ESR Content Transports

    Note Note

    This step is valid only if you have some data/models in SAP NetWeaver PI ES Repository.

    End of the note.

  2. On the Process Integration Tools start page, select   Administration   Exchange Profile  . Change the following repository-specific parameters in the Exchange Profile.

    • com.sap.aii.connect.repository.httpport = <http port of CE ESR>

    • com.sap.aii.connect.repository.httpsport = <https port of CE ESR>

    • com.sap.aii.connect.repository.mshost = <mshost of CE ESR>

    • com.sap.aii.connect.repository.mshttpport = <mshttp port of CE ESR>

    • com.sap.aii.connect.repository.mshttpsport= <mshttps port of CE ESR>

    • com.sap.aii.connect.repository.name = <host name of CE ESR>

    • com.sap.aii.connect.repository.rmiport = <rmi port of CE ESR>

    • com.sap.aii.connect.repository.rmiport.ssl = <rmi ssl port of CE ESR>

    You can get the values for the above parameters from Aii Properties view of CE ESR.

    After changing each parameter, select Save.

  3. To refresh the Exchange Profile parameters in all PI applications, on the Process Integration Tools start page select   Administration   Aii Properties   Refresh  .

  4. Disable the PI repository application so that it does not register itself in System Landscape Directory anymore.

    2. Select  Operation Management   Systems   Start & Stop   Java EE Applications  .

    3. Search and select the application com.sap.xi.repository.

    4. To disable the PI repository, select Stop On All Instances And Set “Stopped” As Initial State.

    5. To check that the application is stopped, select Refresh.

  5. To remove the old repository entry within the PI domain in System Landscape Directory, on the Process Integration Tools start page, select   System Landscape Directory   Technical Systems  . Choose Technical System Type as Process Integration. Select   Integration Repository   Remove  . Confirm the pop up.

2. Changes in the ES Repository on the Composition Environment System

  1. Change the application properties for the repository application on the Composition Environment system to connect to the PI Exchange Profile.

    1. Launch NWA using http://<server>:<port>/nwa.

    2. Select   Configuration Management   Infrastructure   Java System Properties   Select the CE template  .

    3. Search and select the application com.sap.xi.repository.

    4. Under Extended Details, select Modify to change the following Exchange Profile parameters:

      • com.sap.aii.connect.remote_ep_client

      • com.sap.aii.connect.remote_ep_lang

      • com.sap.aii.connect.remote_ep_port

      • com.sap.aii.connect.remote_ep_psw

      • com.sap.aii.connect.remote_ep_server

      • com.sap.aii.connect.remote_ep_system

      • com.sap.aii.connect.remote_ep_user

        To set these parameters, go to   PI Exchange Profile   Connection  .

    5. Connect the ES Repository to the PI System Landscape Directory:

      • com.sap.aii.connect.cr.httpport = <http port of the SLD server>

      • com.sap.aii.connect.cr.httpsport = <https port of the SLD server>

      • com.sap.aii.connect.cr.name = <host name of the SLD server>

    6. Change the Composition Environment ES Repository service user to the PI ES Repository service user.

      • com.sap.aii.repository.serviceuser.<name>: ESRSLDEVI to PIREPUSER

      • com.sap.aii.repository.serviceuser.<pwd>: set password for PIREPUSER in PI

    7. Restart the application com.sap.xi.repository.

    8. Select Save.

  2. Restart the application so that the ES Repository registers itself at the System Landscape Directory provided in the parameters.

    1. Launch NWA using http://<server>:<port>/nwa.

    2. Select   Operation Management   Systems   Start and Stop   Java EE Applications  .

    3. Search and select the application com.sap.xi.repository.

    9. Check that the new repository entry is in the domain of the PI system.

  3. To enable internal PI communication with the Composition Environment ES Repository, create some of the PI service users (PIRWBUSER and PIDIRUSER) in the Composition Environment User Management Engine. To create the users:
