on what basis we have to choose type of technical system and business system in SLD configuration

[Bhargavakrishna]

Hi Experts,

Im working on PI 7.3 EHP1. As per my project requirement i have to do SLD configuration which i have never done before. i have done the search in SDN forums there are many documents available for SLD configuration. As per my understanding we have to define Product, S/W component, Technical and business systems in SLD.

My Requirement is, i have to implement a JDBC to File scenario. in brief i have to fetch the records from the database and send it to SAP HR Directories.

my queries are

1) any thing i have to do, before starting SLD Configuration?

2) on what basis we have to select type of business and technical system? can someone suggest me for my requirement.

3) while defining technical system, it is asking the Host name.. for this what should we need to mention. PI or Source/Target system name.?

4) For Logical system name, what should we need to mention?

please provide your valuable inputs. thanks in advance for your help..

Hi Bhargava,

Answers below:

1) any thing i have to do, before starting SLD Configuration?

--> Nothing specific. A suggested by Rajesh you can directly create Business component in ID else create them in SLD

2) on what basis we have to select type of business and technical system? can someone suggest me for my requirement.

-->You need to create a product for your scenario. Define Software component in that product and create a software component version. Create two Technical system and use them to create two business system.

JDBC server can be treated as a third party while File server is your SAP HR server so it should be ABAP system.

3) while defining technical system, it is asking the Host name.. for this what should we need to mention. PI or Source/Target system name.?

--> Host name should be of the SAP HR server. For JDBC business system you can continue with Third party and so no host name required.

4) For Logical system name, what should we need to mention?

You need to follow the Naming convention for your project. Basically it should be familiar with the Business process names.

Just tried this on a SLD residing on a PI 7.4 AEX. Using System Type "Third-Party" does require a host name.

Hi,

Technical & business system plays an important role in case the connecting systems are of type ABAP or JAVA...

For e.g. if you want to send/receive data to/from ECC(SAP Relevant systems) you need to create technical systems and the business system for the corresponding client...

where as in case of 3rd party systems you either can create technical & business systems in SLD or straight away you can create business components in ID of PI (No need to create these in SLD ...)

As for your scenario you can create business components in ID of PI and no need to create technical & business systems in SLD
