Trying to find SAP product history ... from the SL...

Former Member · ‎01-19-2011

The System Landscape Directory (SLD) is software that nowadays is effectively mandatory to install at a customer site. It is used to help Solution Manager, amongst other things. SLD has two main areas - a set of data that is updated from SAP the organisation by the Basis team that "knows" about products and support packs, and a set of data that represents a customer's landscape.

Looking inside the product and software software component area of SLD you will see that there are also a set of associations which describe product history in a fairly broad way. The association is called SuccessorPredecessor, and as the name suggests, it holds some details about different products plus their successors.

Ok, so let's try to read this using some Java code. I have decided to only look at a subset of the products, namely those relating to ERP, ECC, SAP NetWeaver and some enhancement packages. In the software components, I have concentrated on SAP_APPL, which can be thought of as the functional side, and SAP_BASIS, which is the techie part.

The code is designed to run using JRE 1.4.2, and requires a few external libraries.

The following Windows batch file can be considered a starting point for your own system:

I used NWDS to build a Java project called SLDStandalone, and I have the libraries in a few directories due to installing a Java system XYX with central instance number 02.

Please note that I have hardcoded the hostname, username and password to access the SLD in the batch file.

cd \sap\SLDStandalone
java -cp \usr\sap\XYZ\JC02\j2ee\cluster\server0\bin\ext\com.sap.lcr.api.cimclient\lcrclient.jar;C:\usr\sap\XYZ\JC02\j2ee\cluster\server0\bin\ext\tc.httpclient\httpclient.jar;\usr\sap\XYZ\JC02\j2ee\cluster\server0\bin\ext\tc~sld~sldclient_sda\sldclient.jar;\usr\sap\XYZ\JC02\j2ee\cluster\server0\bin\system\logging.jar;\usr\sap\XYZ\JC02\j2ee\cluster\server0\bin\ext\com.sap.util.monitor.jarm\Jarm.jar;. com.sap.anz.History tn7tdc00:50000 bit400-00 goaway1

Here's the code:
