Steps in NWDI

Hi Experts,
I am new to NWDI and having some questions.
I have downloaded a project from repository in development infrastructure perspective using the create project option and made some changes in a DC.I have seen in SDN  and in help.sap  that a DC should be sychronized before making any changes.
i have seen the following options in the development infrastructure prespective when I right click on a DC under sync/create project option.
Sync Active sources,Sync inactive sources,Sync Archives,Resync,Sync used DC.
Please let me know which option I need to choose to make the DC in sync state and what are the purpose of other options.
Regards
Rajesh

Hi,
When creating a project you create from Inactive DC's, and it's recommended to sync sources before creating the project to ensure you have latest changes which are in active DC's.
To explain, you have multiple user's making changes to same DC, and when you are creating the project you don't know whether you have all the changes done by others when creating a project from Inactive DC's view.
So to ensure you have the changes done by other users to the DC you need to synce the sources.
In NWDS, in Development Component Perspective go to Inactive DC's view and select Sync Sources from the right click menu before creating project.
To explain the flow of changes
Track_D-inactive workspace -> track_D-active workspace -> Track_C-inactive workspace -> Track_C-active workspace -> Assembly -> Test -> Approval -> Production
Track_D - Development buildspace
Track_C -  Consolidation buildspace.
Hope this helps.
Cheers-
Pramod

  • Issues and Trouble shooting steps in NWDI Track

    Issue:  Getting below error while saving the track in NWDI.
    ERROR:  SLD name-server configuration error: More than one name server configured in SLD
    The message may also look as follows:
    Unexpected error; inform your system administrator: < Localization failed:ResourceBundle='com.sap.cms.util.exception.CMSExceptionMessages' ,ID='SLD name-server configuration error', Arguments: [] > : Can't find resource for bundle java.util.PropertyResourceBundle, key SLD name-server configuration error. Please read SAP Note: 1118009.
    Solution: As per SAP Note 1118009,
    1. Log on to the SLD used by CMS with SLD administrator authorization.(The address of the SLD used by CMS is contained in CMS WebUI in the Landscape Configurator in the domain data).
    2. Navigate to 'Administration -> Content Maintenance -> Subset:Landscape Description and Class: System Landscape Directory (or SAP_SystemLandscapeDirectory)
    3. At least two System Landscape Directories should now be found.
    4. Choose the first SLD to view the details. If the entry 'Name Server'exists under 'Roles, this SLD acts as name server.
    5. Return to the overview screen and choose the next SLD. Does this SLD also act as name server?
    6. Proceed until you know which SLDs act as name server.
    7. Since CMS accepts only one name server, you must decide which of the specified SLD servers should act as a name server in future.
    8. Once you have decided, remove the role 'Name Server' from all other SLDs. To do this, select the SLD server, and, under 'Roles' remove the role 'Name Server'. Save all of your changes.
    9. At the end, only one SLD server should have the 'Name Server' role.You can now save tracks in CMS again.

    Thanks for sharing the solution.

  • NWDI Configuration: CMS

    hi,
    We are trying to configure NWDI and in this process, we had completed all the steps for NWDI installation and configuration and also the CMS configuration, Product & SC Definition in SLD now during the creation of Tracks using CMS, we are not able to see the Software component created in the SLD.
    Any idea how to solve this.
    Thanks and regards,
    Kris

    Kris,
    Couple of things, which might help:
    1. Go to CMS/Landscape Configurator/Domain Data
    Make sure SLD URL field has correct data and press "Update CMS" button.
    CMS will sync component data from SLD. If it fails, check log files for explanation. If success, you will see new components from SLD.
    2. NWDI questions are better answered if posted to NWDI forum
    SAP NetWeaver Development Infrastructure (NWDI)
    There are good NWDI experts monitoring the forum.

  • Steps for making the changes in DC and checking into NWDI

    Hi Experts,
    I  am new to the NWDI
    I have some questions related to the NWDI and NWDI integration manggement.
    We have some set of SC's got from some team. Now we need to upload to our NWDI .For that  I have done the following steps.
    I have created some track in the CMS.
    I have loded that SC in to the track.
    I have imported that track in to the NWDS.
    The track which imported contains the SC , this SC contains some DC's .
    for getting the project in to the local mechine.
    In the DC prospective -> Inactive DCs -> done the  right click on the respective DC's and choosen as Create project option. Then i am able to see the DC project in the webdynpro prospective.
    Now the project in the local mechine see the code and i need to rebuild and deploy .
    What  are steps need to be done. Please provide the step by step information for doing this
    Thanks& Regards
    vijay

    Hi Vijay,
    Follow this:
    1.Import a development configuration.
    The first step for you as a developer is to import an appropriate development configuration. The development configuration is your connection to the NWDI. By importing a development configuration, you get access to all resources relevant for your work without having to search for the right sources, libraries and servers.
    2.Select the components you want to develop.
    In the Development Configurations perspective, you can create projects for existing components to add them to your development list, The development environment automatically loads the required source files and archives into your local file system and tries to build the selected components locally
    3. Create new components.
    You can use the Development Configurations perspective also to create new components .Create the new component directly in the DTR. The development environment may propose a change list ("activity") or prompt you to create a new activity to be used to record the creation of the component.
    4.Synchronize the source files and libraries.
    From time to time, you should resynchronize your local sources and libraries with the NWDI to receive the most up-to-date changes of other developers.
    5.Change the component sources.
    Before you can change a source file, you must make the intended change known to the DTR (to check out the file) and agree on an activity to record the change. You can create a new activity or use an existing one.
    6.Edit components.
    Depending on the type of the component you develop, you can perform components development using the Java, J2EE, WebDynpro, Dictionary or any other suitable perspective.
    7. Release the changes for the central build.
    After checking the changes in, you can pass them to the Component Build Service (CBS), that is, you perform the activation process.
    8.Release the changes in the development landscape.
    After a successful activation, pass your changes to the Change Management Service (CMS) of the NWDI, which transports your changes within the development landscape, for example, between a development system and a consolidation system.
    Thanks

  • Backup of NWDI webdynpro customizations

    Is there a way to backup NWDI webdynpro customizations? I have a query.
    The webdynpro objects were customized and assembled, thereby creating many 5 KB files of ESS, MSS, PCUI etc. Because of the webdynpro customization, there are hundreds of broken DCs. So I would like to backup all these customizations (i.e. the SCAs files in assemble directory)  and the other webdynpro customizations into a seperate place and then proceed with installation of a new track right from scratch, then install the required SCAs and later re-apply those customizations. Is there any way to do it. Points will be rewarded for any kind of help.

    Hi Lekha
    Thank you
    I feel that i am in a right track, these are the steps i followed
    1. Downloaded SAPLink 1.0.4 version
    2. Created a report , activated and executed it
    3. Used the downloaded Nugget file as import parameter and executed successfully
    4. Downloaded SICF,Webdynpro Component,Application, plugins
    5. Imported the .nugg / .slnk files and activated then in SE24,
    6. Created a new NUGGET and added an object
         a. webdynpro component
         b. webdynpro application
    my doubt here is it is showing all the classes which i used in my program, do i need to manually import all the classes one by one or it will automatically import all the files which i used,
    if you have any idea which are the plugins to be used and which are all the objects need to be added to the Nugget.
    Thanks and Regards

  • Starting with NWDI

    Hi,
    I wanted to know the steps for starting web dynpro java projects using NWDI. I am getting a bit confused about the steps to be followed.
    I need to know the following.
    1) Steps to set up NWDI ( NWDI users set up, defining products, sca, dc, tracks if required)
    2) How to create a DC using NWDI, also is SCA required , if i decide on having just one application per DC ? Do we need dev, test and PRD server set up at the beginning for DTR ?
    3) Do i need to create a SCA to deploy applications ?
    Lets say i need to develop a simple application using NWDI . What would be the steps to follow along with developer, administrator responsibilites ?
    Apprecaite your help

    Hi,
    The issue is solved.
    The name server for the NWDI System was not configured on the SLD under Technical Landscapes. After defining the NWDI System and configuring the name server, I restarted the SLD Server and updated the CMS.
    Now Check - In and Check -Out of CAF DC's are working fine. If I define a new DC the name prefix is also editable and NWDS provides me my defined name prefixes in the name prefix combobox.
    Regards,
    Yasar

  • Errors in Migrating a Local WD to the NWDI.

    Hi Friends I have one doubt on Migrating a Local WD to the NWDI.
    1.     I have created DC in DTR perspective. Now go to WDJ perspective  and switch to the Navigation frame, select and expand the local WD.Right click on the src folder and select the Copy  and Select the new DC go to src folder, right click on the src folder and select the Paste option as shown below.
    2.     Now Select the existing Activity Click on OK Button.
    3.     Now switch back the Web Dynpro Explorer frame, right click the newly created DC and select Rebuild from the popup menu, as follows.
    4.     Once the build is complete you can expand your new DC and verify that the copied components are available.
    5.     If you examine the Implementation of the new components you may notice that the code is full of compile errors.  This is a bug within NWDS u2013 and should be remedied as follows.
    In the Navigator right click on the DC and select Close Project from the popup menu.
    Now right click on the DC and select Open Project from the popup menu
    Go back to the Web Dynpro Explorer and rebuild the project.
    This should resolve these errors, but should this fail u2013 restart NWDS. I have done these steps for Migrating a Local WD to the NWDI.
    6.     Right now I am getting error. When rebuild the DC that time I am able to getting there warning message u201C.jar files not foundu201D that time I have to go to DC properties and open java build path here .jar files not available.
    7.     How we will get all .jar files in DC java build path.
    8.     For Exam: we have create one normal WDJ Application go to java build path that place lot of jar files is available. But in my DC not available that .jar file
    9.     How I will get that .jar files. Could you tell me how to resolve the Issue. Here I am getting lot of error in wdContext,.size(), IWDMessageManager,IWDWindow here I am getting lot of error.

    I can easily add a custom field to the header of a .jsp and access that user entered value by coding against the requestParser.
    Example: Parameter xxx = requestParser.getParameter("customerHeaderParm");
    But, when I add a customer parameter to the item level of the .jsp, I cannot leverage the same to code and get at the user entered value. The value comes back as null.
    The two files I am working with are as follows: orderstatusdetail.jsp and Z_DocumentStatusOrderQuotAction, which is an extension of the standard class, DocumentStatusOrderQuotAction.
    I am working with the requestParser within the ActionForward isaPerform() method of Z_DocumentStatusOrderQuotAction. I need to get to those item level values BEFORE the order is created from the quotation.
