Checking sap.com Services

Once you end with the installation the first is to check all the services, if they are working fine or not.We need to make sure that all services are running up and working fine in visual administrator.

For it log on to J2EE visual admin:

Choose

Cluster → Server → Services → Deploy

And check all services beginning with

sap.com/com.sap.aii*

sap.com/com.sap.lcr*

sap.com/com.sap.xi*

sap.com/com.sap.rprof.remoteProfile



If any one of the services is not running, select the services and choose Start Application

Generating Roles: SAP_XI and SAP_SLD

Initially we need to generate all roles beginning with SAP_XI, SAP_SLD and SAP_BC_AI_LANDSCAPE_DB_RFC.

For it we need to logon to SAP (you can use DDIC user).

Call transaction PFCG :



Here we need to do the mass generation, for it go in utilities and select mass generation

Next you need to select input as SAP_XI* (this is for SAP_XI) and select check box generate automatically. Press F8 and run this report.

Select “In the Background”

And you will get all the Roles are generated



Repeat for SAP_SLD*



And again same step for SAP_BC_AI_LANDSCAPE_DB_RFC

After role generation, you need to do mass comparison, for it again go to PFCG transaction and select mass comparison:

Select SAP_XI*

In log display, ignore the message that the role SAP_XI_CMS_SERV_USER does not have a profile.

User master record for all roles adjusted.



Creating User XISUPER

In next activity we need to create XISUPER user for SAP Exchange Infrastructure client: User Last name (Tab:

Address) Password / User Type (Tab: Logon Data)

Role (Tab: Role)

XISUPER <your_name>, for example XI Super

<init_password> / Dialog

SAP_BC_AI_LANDSCAPE_DB_RFC SAP_SLD_ADMINISTRATOR SAP_XI_ADMINISTRATOR SAP_XI_CONFIGURATOR SAP_XI_CONTENT_ORGANIZER SAP_XI_DEVELOPER SAP_XI_MONITOR

For it go to Transaction su01

Give XISUPER and create it.



Provide roles:



Save it and exit this.

Now we have XISUPER user with us to perform the further post-installation activities so we need to log off from the system and log in again as user “XISUPER” and need to switch from initial password to valid password.

After this user creation next step we need to restart J2EE engine.

Performing SAP XI Customizing Settings

Go to T- Code SWF_XI_ CUSTOMIZING

Here we need to make all nodes to green hook (not a red cross).

For it we need to do the automatic customizing. We need to select the node Maintain Runtime Environment and then Press F9.

For Maintain Prefix numbers, after pressing F8 we need to go in change mode and maintain a number higher then 900.



Now we will have

On next step we need to Run report RSWF_CATID by calling transaction SE38 editor:



On execution page

Select the check box of 1. ABAP Classes 2. XML Object types and executes the report.

Here we need to give one request for it.



Importing the SAP Exchange Profile 1. we need to open on Server host:

http://<J2EE_Host> : <J2EE_PORT> / ExchangeProfile

i.e. For <J2EE_Port>: 5<J2EE_instance_number>00. 50031, as my J2EE instance is 31. 2. User Name: XISUPER, Password: password of XISUPER.

Fill the information and set it.

When we will set it we will get the exchange profile page.



We need to browse “/usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/global/exchange_profile.xml” and need to import here.

Suggestion from SAP: As the file exchange_profile.xml contains secure information like passwords, we highly recommend to delete the file after importing or to save it by using high security standards, such as encryption.

Assign Application Roles to User Groups:

Fir it Log to Visual administrator.

And Select Cluster → Server → Services → SLD Data Supplier

Go to Runtime tab in the right frame, and push the button "Assign Application Roles to User Groups". Confirm the dialog.



Performing System Landscape Directory (SLD) Configuration

Maintaining SLD Connection Parameters:

Log on to the SAP System as user DDIC and call transaction SLDAPICUST

Choose Display -> Change.

Choose insert row

Enter the input’s like

Host Name, Port, User ( XIAPPLUSER), Password(password of XIAPPLUSER)

Select the check box of Primary



Maintaining Server Settings in the SLD:

Open url :

http://<host>:<HTTP_port>/sld

Give XISUPER user and password.

First we need to stop server, for it we need to go to Administrator and stop the server.



After this choose server setting

Set it and again go to main page of SLD. And start the server again.



If you are getting any miss configure parameter then reset it, i.e. bufferinstance

We need to set it as false.

In end server should be in running green status.



Updating the CR Data in the SLD:

Before using the SLD server, we need to import two data packages in XI.

cimsap.zip: This file contains all relevant class definitions from the CIM specification v. 2.6 and the SAP extension schema. When you start the SLD on SAP Web AS 6.40 SR1 for the very first time, this package will be imported automatically into the default CIM namespace sld/active.

• CR_Content.zip: This file contains all instances that represent information about available SAP components.

I suggest if you do not have most updated then download them from SAP service makertplace.

We need to import cimsap.zip and CR_Content.zip from the SLD host (from /usr/sap/<SAPSID>/SYS/global/sld/model/ ) to a host were a Web browser runs.

Go to admin and click on import :



Once you select the file,push start to import file.

Repeat for CR content.



Finally we will have success message.



Configuring the SLD Bridge:

Go to Admin page

Perform activity again to stop the server.

And go to Data Supplier Bridge and stop it.



Local SLD should be active and

Under Gateway enter:

Server: <host_name_of_SLD>

Service: <gateway_service_of_SLDhost>

And go for set.

Again start the bridge and server as well.



Maintaining the ABAP Connection:

Go to XI host and call RZ70.

Give host and service name.



After choose with the quick info Proposal



Then activate the current changes:

In last go for start data collection







In RZ70 under SLD bridge gateway information give the complete server name of J2E instance in the input for Host and in Service try SAPGW00 ( actually it is SAPGWXX where XX will be the system number of your J2E instance. So if the system of your J2E instance is 31 then give SAPGW31 instead of SAPGW00).

Configuring the SLD Data Supplier Service in the Visual Administrator:

For it we need to start the J2EE visual admin.

Choose Cluster → Server → Services → SLD Data Supplier



On the Runtime tab in the right frame, select the tab HTTP Settings

Give Host,Port ,user and password.



Afterwards please do the test :



Generally changes takes some time so, to apply the new configuration immediately, restart the SLD service.



Again restart it so that changes can visible quickly.



Maintaining the product for the Technical System:

Go to SLD page

Choose technical system landscape and select the system which we have created in RZ70 transaction:



choose Add a new Product and select the product SAP Exchange Infrastructure.



You need to make sure that all components are selected and then save it.



Maintaining a business System for the Integration Server:

Now we need to maintain a Business System. For that again go to SLD main page and choose the business landscape page.

Create the new business system

Select web as ABAP

Select client



Select Integration Server as Business System Role and enter the following in the field Pipeline URL: http://<host>:<HTTPport>/sap/xi/engine?type=entry

and chose finish it.

Note :- <host> is the host name of the Integration Server.

You can find <HTTPport> by logging on to the Integration Server and running transaction SMICM (choose Goto → Services and see entry for HTTP).



Post installation step Part-2

Please refer Post installation part-2 for rest of activities.
