Configuring The SLD Bridge
Configuring The SLD Bridge
Use
To receive data that is automatically reported and sent by the SLD data suppliers that run on
individual systems, you have to configure and start the SLD bridge. The SLD bridge converts
the system data that is sent by the SLD data suppliers to the SLD server into a CIMcompliant format.
The data between the SLD data suppliers of ABAP-based systems and the SLD bridge is
exchanged by means of an RFC connection. Therefore, you have to configure an SAP
gateway service. We recommend that you use a local gateway. If you have a standalone
installation of J2EE Engine and if no local gateway is available, install a standalone gateway
with an instance number from the Presentation DVD. Choose an instance number for the
gateway that has not been used on your computer so far.
You can also perform the configuration of the SLD bridge during installation. Use this
procedure if you want to change the configuration.
Procedure
1. Choose Administration Data Suppliers.
2. If you want the SLD data supplier bridge to forward system data that is received from
data suppliers to the default sld/active namespace of this SLD server, set the Update
Local Namespaces parameter forsld/active to true.
3. Choose Administration Profile.
4. From the Sectiondropdown box, select datasupplier.
5. Enter SAP gateway host and gateway service.
6. If you want the SLD bridge to send data to multiple SLD servers,
choose Administration Data Suppliers Add SLD.
