Updating the SAP Component Repository in the SLD (a simple guide)

Here’s a simple guide on how to update the SAP Component Repository in the SLD.I hope you find it useful.

Download and read  SAP note 669669

You would need to update the following components:

1. The current CIM data model as the file cimsap….zip
2. A current SAP CR Content update as the file CRDelta….zip

1. Updating the CIM data model

Log in to the SLD, for example: http://sp2n13:50800/sld/

Select Administration

Go to IMPORT

Press BROWSE and select your cimsap….zip file

Press Import Selected file

Continue Import

Import process should complete with no errors

If you encounter error like this:

#21 08/13/2013 16:20:25.085 [CIM Import Thread] ERROR com.sap.cim.lib.pers.delta.importing.ImportHandler: 80 errors occurred during import:

CIM_ERR_FAILED: Modifying class SAP_ServiceReference is not allowed without changing the version qualifier

CIM_ERR_FAILED: Modifying class SAP_ServicePort is not allowed without changing the version qualifier

CIM_ERR_FAILED: Modifying class SAP_NWBasedSystem is not allowed without changing the version qualifier

You can use the following correction:

• In the SLD browser user interface, call “Administration” – “Settings” (previously “Profile”).
• Choose the “ObjectManager” section.
• Set the “StrictModifyClassChecks” and “StrictModifyQualifierChecks” parameters to “false”. If these parameters are missing, you can use “Add Parameter” to add them (type “boolean”). “StrictModifyQualifierChecks” is only required if the import also reports errors for “Qualifier Declarations”, which does not usually occur.
• Choose “Save” to save your changes.
• Repeat the model import.
• If successful, reset the “StrictModifyClassChecks” and “StrictModifyQualifierChecks” parameters to “true”.

2. SAP CR Content update

Go to IMPORT

Press BROWSE and select your CRDelta….zip file
