Can we bypass SLD

[Former Member]

I have a question related to SLD; as per my understanding SLD is essential to connect to various systems. For e.g.) If I need to connect to SAP R/3 system using a WebDynpro application, I need to set up an SLD to connect to R/3 system.

My question is; can we directly use JCO connection with out having to go via the SLD? (Currently we have some web applications in which we are connecting to R/3 system using JCO). Direct JCO connection also works through the proxies (generated using Visual Age for Java). Since we already have this setup, can we bypass SLD?

Thanks.

Hi Deepak,

Have you managed to make it run without SLD ?

I'm looking for the same thing. I know how to dynamically

change the Jco destination but onlyif the destinations

have been previously set in the Content Administrator.

I'd like to avoid this useless step.

Thanks,

Thierry

You say: Can we directly use JCO connection with out having to go via the SLD?

Just try it, and you have the answer.

I think yes.

SLD permit the mapping of portal user to backend system.

No one avoid to use classic JCO jar file into a WebDynpro.

But like in all thing, you will have the ADVANTAGE and DISADVANTAGE.

Bye
