Unable to read Software Component Versions from SLD Wednesday, February 4, 2009

Hi All ,

Recently i met an error like "Unable to read Software Component Versions from SLD"

After creation Software Component and its version in System Landscape Directory (SLD), we need to import that in Integration Repository (IR) so that objects can be developed.

We do this in IR as Tools - Transfer from System Landscape Directory - Import Software Component Versions.

But while importing, it gives out above-mentioned error. Following is the checklist to resolve the error.

Use t-code SLDCHECK on ABAP stack to confirm the connection of XI system and SLD.

Check whether SLD and XI system are on same server.

In the Integration Builder page, Click on the Administration and check the following parameters to make sure they are pointing to right SLD system and port.

com.sap.aii.connect.cr.httpport

com.sap.aii.connect.cr.name

com.sap.aii.connect.landscape.httpport

com.sap.aii.connect.landscape.name


I hope This will help you .

What is the difference between a Transport Domain and a Transport group? Saturday, January 31, 2009

Hi,
one of my friend ask me this question and here i am sharing my views on this question:

Transport domain and transport group does not having relationship.transport group is concern with transport directory not with transport domain.

The SAP system containing the same transport directory are
called to be in same transport group.That means in your
three system landscape is having individual directory
concept then there are three transport group in your system
landscape. and if you are having concept of common transport
directory in your system landscape then there is one
transport group in your system landscape.

Whereas a Domain Controller is the one box or SID which
would control the transports going in from DEV to TEST and
to PROD. Also the TP command is run from the domain
controller.
