SLD Data supplier is missing

SLD Data supplier is missing

Symptom
You want to ensure that data of a technical system (like AS ABAP, AS Java, etc.) is completely delivered to the Landscape Management Database (LMDB).
The setup of a set of data suppliers is usually done during post-installation configuration steps on the technical system. An overview of the SLD data suppliers of technical systems is given in SAP Note 1869701.

Data suppliers can be missing because systems were moved or upgraded, the central SLD was moved, or because data suppliers were not configured completely from the beginning.

In the following, the required data supplier names are listed, grouped by technical system type and by the nodes that you find in the navigation tree of the editor for technical systems.
  • System Overview (root node):
  • At least the data supplier 'BCSystem' must be displayed and up-to-date.
  • If not displayed, log on to the managed system and check the data supplier in transaction RZ70. For more details, search for the topic 'Setting Up the SLD Data Supplier for AS ABAP Based Systems' in SAP Help Portal and check the details for the AS ABAP release.
  • 'System Database' node:
  • Choose 'Database Details'. Check if the data supplier 'LAPI_DatabaseOutsideDiscovery' is displayed and up-to-date. It delivers information for SAP Solution Manager Diagnostics and is a required data supplier in this case.
  • If not displayed but needed for SAP Solution Manager Diagnostics, install and configure the Diagnostics Agent in the 'SAP Solution Manager: Configuration' work center. See 'SAP Solution Manager Setup' at http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/x/yoEtCg.
  • 'Technical Instances' node:
  • For each application server, at least the data supplier 'ABAPInstanceKernel' must be displayed and up-to-date.
  • Choose the 'Central Services' tab and check that for each central service at least the data supplier 'CentralServiceInstanceKernel' is displayed and up-to-date. It is only needed for high availability (HA) setup.
  • If not displayed but needed, see SAP Note 1717846.
  • 'Hosts' node:
  • Choose the host name link to navigate to the details on each host. Choose 'Details'. Here, at least the data supplier 'LAPI_HostOutsideDiscovery' must be displayed and up-to-date. It delivers information for SAP Solution Manager Diagnostics and is a required data supplier in this case.
  • If not displayed but needed for SAP Solution Manager Diagnostics, install and configure the Diagnostics Agent in the 'SAP Solution Manager: Configuration' work center. See 'SAP Solution Manager Setup' at http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/x/yoEtCg.
  • System Overview (root node):
  • At least the data supplier 'J2EESystem' must be displayed and up-to-date.

Reason and Prerequisites
In some cases, information on a technical system is provided by several data suppliers, for example for the technical system itself and for technical instances, hosts, and for the database. They send data to the SLD or directly to the LMDB on a regular basis (per default every 12 hours). A needed data supplier that is missing can lead to errors in SAP Solution Manager.

Solution
To check the completeness of system data, start transaction LMDB on the SAP Solution Manager system and view the technical system in display mode.
For SAP Solution Manager 7.10 SP 10 or higher, you can choose the 'More …' link next to the 'Last Change by Data Supplier' field to get detailed information about the data supplier status.
For SAP Solution Manager 7.10 lower than SP 10, choose 'Details' -> 'General Data'. Under 'Data Supplier List', you find the data supplier names and the last registration times. Check if all needed data suppliers of the technical system have delivered data within the last 48 hours.
Application Server ABAP (AS ABAP)
Exception: If the managed system is running on a SAP HANA database, the data supplier 'LAPI_DatabaseOutsideDiscovery' is not needed. However, the data suppliers of the SAP HANA Database must be complete (see chapter 'SAP HANA Database' below).
