3.7    Summary

In this chapter, we demonstrated that the SLD is a critical component of your landscape, and we explored how it supports the SAP PO middleware by providing it with all necessary foundation objects. This chapter also explored all of the administrative tasks provided by the SLD. These administrative tasks include stopping and starting the SLD, exporting and importing SLD objects, configuring data suppliers, and viewing logs.

Given the critical role that the SLD plays in your organization, the chapter also explored different SLD strategies and approaches to take into consideration during your implementation.

After reading this chapter, you’ve obtained the foundation required to start building ES Repository objects, a topic that we’ll cover in the next chapter.
