1) Is the SLD a component of XI? No, XI is a client to SLD SLD (use to be called Landscape Component Repository (LCR)

2) How many SLD does SAP recommend? 1 (Previously) Depends on Client Business landscape

3) How is it that the list of products in SLD is entered? There are two ways to get new products listed in SLD WHAT ARE THEY?

1) Manually2) Import the content file

4) When Creating a Technical System (TS) are you able to deselect a software component?

YES

5) What is the reason/relevance for LINKING the TS to SWCV? The SWCV under Product and its version from the Software catalog are the basis for design time object development in IR and further used in ID. Therefore when the TS are linked to a specific SWCV and its product, the link is carried on to the business systems that are assigned to the ID configuration scenarios.

6) In BS we cannot deselect SWCV!

7) What software is installed to run IB? Java Web start 1.4.2 WHY?????

o Java Web start is a caching application for large java clients. Normally java clients are relatively small and downloaded from server, but IR and ID are each approx 20 to 30 MB in size therefore these applications must be stored locally in Cache instead of being downloaded each time.

8) What’s so special about SAP_BASIS software component?=> As the basis admin, have to import it into the IR and it has the Adapter metadata.

9) What are the 3 possible nodes below Software Component version in IR?1) Imported objects (clicking on import radio button and save)2) add in Namespace and save (can have many namespaces)3) Basis object

10) What is the recommended naming convention for Namespace name?1) URN (uniform resource name)2) URI (Uniform resource identifier)3) URL (Uniform resource locator)

11) Why have an ID and IR opposed to just having an ID? SAP provides a pre-delivered XI CONTENT, but this does not take into

account the Customer specific requirements such as names and etc.

13) What are category options for Message Interfaces?1) Inbound (in perspective of BS)2) Outbound (in perspective of BS)3) Abstract

14) What type of objects can you use in Message Mapping?1) Message Type (MT)2) External Definition3) RFC4) IDocs

15) What are the available mapping program types for interface mapping?1) Message Mapping2) Java3) XSL4) ABAP-Klasse (use se80)5) ABAP-xsl (use se80)

16) What is a configuration scenario?This is a folder where you can create LINKS to objects.

17) What’s in Receiver Determination (RD)? RD = Sender (Service, Interface, Namespace) + Receiver(s)/conditions +

Interface Determination + Receiver Agreement

18) If mapping does not exist in RD then double click at bottom where the object is, this will then take you to ID (interface determination) and now can do change mode from there.

19) What are a Sender Agreement and Receiver Agreement? What is another name for the above?

For both - Agreement to use specific communication channel Another name? Collaboration Agreement

20) What is the difference between central and local IE?What are all the types of pipeline?

SAP_CENTRALSAP_CENTRAL_BACKSAP_RECEIVER (local IE)SAP_RECEIVER_BACK (local IE) back is for acknowledgementSAP_SENDER (local IE)SAP_SENDER_BACK (local IE) Acknowledgement

Pipeline steps in order!1) Receiver identification2) Interface Determination3) Message Branch /Split4) Message Mapping - Request4) Technical Routing5) Call Adapter6) Message Mapping - Response

21) If I have an outbound routing error what can be error?The comm. channel or receiver agreement

21) What 2 adapters are not parts of adapter engine because they are on the ABAP stack?1) IDOC2) HTTP

22) SLD CIM (common interface model)

XI INSTALLATION material:

23) When checking the default profile Java port number has $ in the 2nd and 3rd position (ex. 5$$00) For icm port $ is in the last two position (ex 80$$ and 34$$)

24) What is the icm port parameter name?icm/server_port_<xx> <xx> is a number

25) SMICM

26) What service users created during the install? Where used and what roles it have?
