SAP's System Landscape Directory (SLD) supplies an overview of installed software components. You can configure the SAP agent in a way that it registers at the SLD whenever it starts.
The following steps are required:
- Log on to system client 0000.
- Create a new Connection object for SAP.
- Open the Connection object, click theAttributes tab and select the connection type "Internet".
- Switch to the Internet tab and specify the SLD connection data.
- Store and close the Connection object.
- Switch to the folder HOST and open the SAP agent's object.
- Select the Connection object in the agent tab, field System Landscape Directory.
- Store and close the Agent object.
The SAP agent now tries to register at the SLD whenever it starts. It can successfully start even if a registration is not possible (e.g. due to incorrect connection parameters).
The SAP agent's log file contains a message which indicates whether the registration to the SLD was successful.
