Creating a Software Component in the SLD 

Use

To be able to develop your own application, you must create your own software component in the System Landscape Directory (SLD). You must do this before you start to develop your software. Normally, a system administrator or a quality manager creates the software components.

For this tutorial, you must create a software component yourself. During development work, the developers can add multiple development components for this software component.

Prerequisites

You have a user that can create software components in the SLD.

Creating a Product and Software Component

To create a software component, perform the following steps:

...

       1.      Start the interface of the SLD with the following URL:

http://<host>:<port>/sld

Replace <host> and <port> with the data of the J2EE Engine on which the SLD is installed. Log on with the Admin user. The initial screen of the SLD appears.

       2.      Choose Software Catalog and then New Product ... The Define Product screen appears.

Enter the following data:

Vendor: example.org

Name: MyApplication

Version: 1.0

       3.      Choose Create.

       4.      The SLD creates the product and the Define Software Component screen appears.

Enter the following data:

Vendor: example.org

Name: Application

Version: 1.0

       5.      Choose Create. The SLD creates the software component for the product defined above.

Defining Usage Dependencies

You use usage dependencies to define the software components on which the new software component is based, and to define the dependencies for the central build.

You define usage dependencies as follows:

...

       1.      In the software catalog, choose the MyApplication of example.org product. Choose Release 1.0. The Product Version screen appears.

       2.      Choose the Application software component. The Software Component Version screen appears.

       3.      Choose Usage Dependencies. The Usage Dependencies screen appears.

       4.      Choose Define Dependencies and define the following dependencies for the Build Time context:

¡        SAP J2EE ENGINE <Release> (SAP-JEE <Release>)

¡        SAP BUILD TOOL <Release> (SAP_BUILDT <Release>)

¡        SAP JAVA TECH SERVICES <Release> (SAP_JTECHS <Release>)

       5.      Choose Create. The dependencies are displayed on the Usage Dependencies screen for the software component version Application 1.0.

Result

You have created the Application software component. You can work with this software component in the JDI.
