Procedure documentationPerforming Initial Data Import Locate this document in the navigation structure

 

The SLD server implements the Common Information Model (CIM) of the Distributed Management Task Force (see http://www.dmtf.org). The SAP CIM model and SAP component information (CR_Content.zip) are automatically imported when the SLD is started for the first time during installation. Use this procedure if you want to import a different CIM model or to import the CR content files after the installation.

The CIM model and CR content files are located in the <Drive>:\usr\sap\<SID>\SYS\global\sld\model directory.

Note Note

Since the CR_Content.zip file contains all SAP components that are available, the content of this file increases over time to include information about new components, such as new releases and support packages. You have to update the content in the SLD from time to time. You can download the most up-to-date files on SAP Service Marketplace at http://service.sap.com. For more information, see SAP Note 669669.

End of the note.

Note Note

If you have already performed the initial configuration of SLD as part of the AS Java system installation, use this procedure only to adapt the configuration.

End of the note.

Prerequisites

  • The CIM model and CR content files must be either XML files or compressed XML files in ZIP format.

Procedure

  1. Choose   Administration   Import  .

    The Import screen appears.

  2. To import the following file (Microsoft Windows): <Drive>:\usr\sap\<SID>\SYS\global\sld\model\CR_Content.zip, choose Import CR Content, and then choose Continue Import.

  3. To import a different file, choose Browse..., navigate to the file you want to import, and then choose Import....

    Note Note

    Objects that already exist in the system are automatically overwritten.

    End of the note.

    Note Note

    If the import has been interrupted due to insufficient memory (for instance, the Java VM runs out of memory), you have to increase the heap size of the Java VM and restart the AS Java. To have the complete data, you have to import the CR_Content.zip file again. You can ignore the warning about a nonfitting content update.

    End of the note.

  4. If you do not want to import the content into the current namespace, you can change the namespace.

Result

After you have triggered the import, the Administration screen appears. The status bar shows the status of the import.
