Hi All,



I am very new to SAP. Just been 3 days into learning SAP, but I have
been given a task to do...please help me out.I have to discover all

the SAP systems present in my organization (System Landscape). Also, I
have to get the information about the SAP application components
installed in them, for instance CRM, SRM etc. Then I need to categorize
the systems according to the SAP application components.For instance,
CRM - s1,s2; SCM - s3, s4..etc. From my research I found that CCMS and
SLD are 2 central repositories that contain such information (not sure
though). However, for CCMS the remote repositories have to register
themselves initially. What if one or more of them have not registered??
I somehow want to get the fool-proof information regarding all the
systems whether they are registered or not. Also, is there any way I
can view these System details on the SAP GUI?

Any ideas or suggestions regarding this please???

Thanks in advance!!

The System Landscape Directory of SAP NetWeaver (SLD) serves as a
central information repository for your system landscape. A system
landscape consists of a number of hardware and software components that
depend on each other with regard to installation, software updates, and
demands on interfaces.



Note



Bear in mind that the abbreviation SLD is not intended to define a
product, since the System Landscape Directory is part of SAP NetWeaver.
This abbreviation is only intended to improve readability.

Integration



The figure below shows the flow of data between the SLD and other components.



This graphic is explained in the accompanying text



Information in the SLD is used by various SAP tools, for example, for
planning and performing upgrades to the system landscape (Software
Lifecycle Manager of SAP NetWeaver), finding destination information
for ABAP systems and Web services (Web Dynpro), and for maintaining
development information by the SAP NetWeaver Development Infrastructure
(NWDI).

Features



● The SLD stores information about all installable and installed
components of a system landscape. It is based on the standard Common
Information Model (CIM). The CIM standard is a general, extensible
schema for describing the elements in a system landscape. SAP has
enhanced the CIM standard with classes for SAP-specific content.



● SAP provides both a Web-based user interface (UI) for interactive
access and client APIs for programmatic access in ABAP and Java.



● SAP provides information about installable SAP software, dependencies
and recommended scenarios and regularly publishes updates on SAP
Service Marketplace. You can browse this information in the software
catalog views. You can also manually add information about third-party
components to the SLD.



● SAP software components that are installed on technical systems are
registered automatically and on a regular basis in the SLD. Thus the
SLD always contains up-to-date information about the installed system
landscape. You can view this information in the technical systems
views, and can aggregate and group it in the landscapes views.



● In addition, you can use the SLD for name reservation in the NWDI. It
contains the master list of all reserved names used in development,
such as development component names, Java package names, and database
object names.



● The Exchange Infrastructure (XI) uses the SLD to store information
about business systems, which are logically connected to technical
systems.
