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 the R3 Connection page and select the connection type "Internet".
- Specify the connection parameters and save the Connection object.
- Switch to the folder HOST and open the SAP Agent's object.
- Select the Connection object in the Agent page, and fill in the field System Landscape Directory.and save 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.
