JDI, NWDS and EP6

Hi,
We have a JDI landscape setup at our company and I am wanting to take advantage of it, if possible. What I want to do is use the JDI instance for developing and storing custom developed Java iViews.
Right now we do not have a system in place for versioning and checking in/checking out par files/projects. I was wondering if anyone out there has used the JDI to store java iViews, to use the versioning and locking that SAP provides with standard ABAP programs.
Hope this is clear.
Cheers,
Kevin

Jdi/nwds upgrade

HI,
I am planning for an upgrade of jdi from sp12 to sp13. does that mean that to deploy the new .sca files on top of the existing one. or should i remove the JDI sp12 and isntall sp13.
same with case of NWDS.. i have nwds sp12 with many projects. if i upgrade my nwds to sp13.. are my projects gonna be there or not.. is there any way that i can take a backup of the projects that i developed and run the upgrade..
could you please help me in this regard..sorry if the questions are silly...
thank you

Hi Shiva,
The answers to 2nd and 3rd questions is yes if you uninstall and install the NWDS.
Project settings are not disturbed. Also the as to your 2nd question i believe the settin gs made in windows-> preferences are stored somewhere in the .metadata folder under the workspace. Hence those may also not go.
SAP is delivering the upgrades also. When you start the installation of NWDS if the installation detects another version of NWDS already installed it will ask if you want to upgrade/repair.
Please verify this. Start new NDS installation and then just check whether you are getting this poup for upgrade.
Hope this helps.

Import .par file into NWDS and Rum it without deploying ?

Hello All,
I'm new to the NWDS and the Portal.
I've many Qns on my Requirement. Hope u guys can help me out in resolving my Issues.
Is this the right forum to place my Query ?
If not then please let me know the right forum .
My Requirement is like this :-
1. I need to create a Portal Application which calls an URL.
2. But before developing this, my Client gave me one 2 options :
a. He gave me a par file and asked me to make changes in it.
b. Create a new Portal Project which calls the URL ( Predefined ).
3. I wanted to check the 1rst option i.e " a ".
4. I tried to Import the .par file into NWDS like this :
* Windows --> Open Perspective --> Enterprise Portal .
* File --> Import --> Par FIle.
* I gave the name of the Project as PortalLogon.
5. I searched in the forum on this scenario and I found that the libraries for this project are not automatically imported.
A .Can any one tell me how to import the libraries and which are all the libraries to be imported ?
B. How to test my PortalLogon Project without deploying ?
Is it possible to test this Project without deploying ?
If yes can anyone tell me hoe to do this ?
Regards,
Deepu.K

Hi Deepu,
Usually Server will be having all the jar files and If you want to deploy your par file using NWDS you need to give a path to your Jar file location.
So better download all the jar files from your server and keep it in your local desktop.
Create a new folder called "JarFiles" in your desktop and keep all of your jar files inside.
Download Jar finder from IBM Site ( search for "Resolving Java Classpath Issues" in SDN ,you will get a pdf and follow it.).Add it as a plugin to your NWDS path.
Restart NWDS.
Now you can resolve the jar file issues.there are many weblogs /articles/forum QAs regarding this.
If u need more clarification,please let me know.
Thank you.

hi Deepu,
for simply displaying a URL, you can use the commonly available URL iView.
your folder->new->create iView->iView from template->URL iView and then enter your URL
for the other think.......
you can create an iView from PAR file.
your folder->new->create iView->Iview from PAR->then select your PAR and create an iView for that.
and the last one.......to see the effect without deploying it on the portal......refer the link
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/23/c0e240beb0702ae10000000a155106/content.htm
and the usual libraries to be associated are
htmlb.jar and
com.sap.portal.htmlbbridge.zip

Define main objects for Drag & Relate between BW 3.1 and EP6

hi all.
We are trying to implement Drag & Relate between BW 3.1 and EP6.
We have 2 different BW reports based on the same object "0MATERIAL". One of them should be a source and the other is the target. When creating the iViews for these reports the "main object" property has no values, therefor we don't see any symbol near the object we want to drag. The import of the "0MATERIAL" object from BW to the portal was successful.
Is it related to customizing the BW system or the portal?
thanks,
Sagi

I solved the problem - I added the BW alias before the main object name in the main object property. For example "BW.0MATERIAL" when BW is the BW system alias and 0MATERIAL is the object name.

CRM 5.0 and EP6

Hi,
We are implementing CRM5.0 and are currently using EP6.0 SP9. Is it possible to connect the 2 or do we need to upgrade to EP7.
If it is possible to use CRM5.0 and EP6, then which business package should I use :
Business Package for SAP CRM 4.0 60.2.3
or
Business Package for SAP CRM 5.0
The reason I ask is that the BPP for CRM 5.0 states Portal Release NetWeaver 7.0 (2004s) is needed and we have NW2004.
Any help appreciated and awarded with points.
Thanks
Craig

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/21/84570b3ae14e77b3047c82218974b9/frameset.htm
would be a good place to start
steps:
- maintain in SM59 the TCP/IP-destinations SLD_NUC & SLD_UC
- set the gateway-options to your SLD-server
- test the connections
- start RZ70
- enter the SLD Bridge (again SLD Server Gateway data)
- execute job in RZ70
- log should be saying something like "data send ok"

Architectural differences between Ep5.0 and Ep6.0

Hi Expert,
Is there any document that specifies the differences in the EP5.0 and EP6.0 architecture.
It seems that the only difference is just the switch framework containing the extension set and Industry Solution extension...it looks very strange!
Have you any idea about other differencies?
Many thanks in advance
Fabio

Hi Fabio,
The difference between EP5 & EP6 is that there is no PDK beneath EP. The "PDK" for EP6 is a business package (a role with some content) to import into EP6. From there, you can upload components (PAR files), delete them etc., and you have the doc's that you know from PDK 5.0.
There is also a different Eclipse plugin.
Portal components for EP5 and EP6 differ in many points, for example there is a xml deployment descriptor in EP6 where in EP5 you had the profile property files.
Also some APIs have changed.
But you can import EP5 par files into Eclipse with the EP6 plugin.

Pooja.

How to code a Module in NWDS and deploy

Hi ,
That is exactly my question ...
how to code a Module in NWDS and deploy
Kindly let me know if there are any step by step available
also I may not always have access to nwds
To the same in a tool like eccilpse.
P.S.
I am an abaper ...have a little working knowlege of Java..so playing around with eccilpse alot...
Kindly help

>>also I may not always have access to nwds
>>To the same in a tool like eccilpse.
apart from the links provided by others , if your above statement means that you might have to use Eclipse at times in place of NWDS, then I would suggest you to have a build process independent of Eclipse. NWDS makes use of SAP specific plugins which recognizes your SAP sepcific files like application-j2ee-engine.xml and ejb-j2ee-engine.xml and you see them differently inside NWDS. So to have a better project setup
1. At least create the whole project (EJB / EAR) once in NWDS.
2. Export it and then import inside Eclipse.
3. Make changes and have a build script may be based on ANT to build your project and create EAR out of it.
4. Deploy using SDM.

How to set up NWDS and where do I find libraries, and API doc...

Hi experts,
I am new EP Development. I have WebAS 6.40 installed, with NWDS - only NWDS and no EP. I have written some small code using HTMLB control, and getting error coz the libraries pertaining to HTMLB are missing. I tried to import the libraries into NWDS from the project properties, but did not find any libraries. Where can I find the libraries that I can include in the NWDS? Do we have to install anything else than just installing NWDS to get the access to libraries and APIs ? Please advise.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
WAS is only an application server, you have to install enterprise portal to deploy and run applications.
Refer this link for a simple example

You can download the EP sneak preview from here

You can search help.sap.com for information.
PORTAL API'S
<a href="https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/javadocs">API</a>
========================================================
The basic jar files such as the one for htmlb are available in the eclipse->plugins directory in your system. use the jar finder set the path to eclipse->plugins directory and give the search term as "htmlb" and
right click on the search result to add it to your project.ex:
PDK only contains sample code.
see the jar finder blog and install the jar finder or right click on the project -> properties->java build path->Add external jars->
the htmlb jar is in the folder
eclipse->plugins->com.sap.ep.applicationdevelopment->
com.sap.portal.htmlb_api.jar add this jar to your project.
Some jar files will be on the server machine, if you cannot find the jar file in the eclipse plugins folder then they will be in the server under the path
[drive]C:\usr\sap\JXX\JC00\j2ee\cluster\server0\apps\sap.com\irj\servlet_jsp\irj\root\WEB-INF\portal\portalapps

WAS 6.40 and EP6 on same server

Hi,
For the moment we have a WAS 6.20 on 1 server and a second server with EP6 sp2. We want to upgrade the WAS 6.20 to 6.40 and have the WAS 6.40 and EP6 on the same server to get back one of the 2 servers.
Is it possible and if yes what is better upgrade the WAS and install EP6 on the WAS and we can have the old EP6 server free or install WAS 6.40 on the samer server than EP6 repliacete or application from server WAS 6.20 and after kill 6.20 on the second server.
I hope I was clear.
Thanks for your help
Jean Christophe

Hi Jean Christophe,
I think I understand what you want to do. Unfortunately there is no "upgrade" from Web AS 6.20 to 6.40. It is a migration. You have to install a new version of Web AS 6.40 and then install the new version of the portal.
Not knowing how much content you have in your Web AS 6.20 system and your SP2 portal, I can't give a clear idea what would be the best way to do this.
Here is an approach. There are probably different variations. Install on one of the boxes the WebAS 6.40. and then the portal. Migrate the content from the system on the other box. (either the portal or the WebAS) that will free that box. Then migrate the other content from the same box and remove that system.
One hint when installing the second instance on the same box as the 6.20. Make sure you choose the "custom" install option rather than the "default". Custom will give you the option to change all the options on the install (like port numbers) so you don't run into conflicts with the 6.20 Web AS.
Good luck,
John

NWDS and Citrix

Dear Sirs,
My requirement is to have NWDS innstalled on a Citrix server, because our local PC are not adequate for the job. We will use JDI (NWDI) on a separat WAS, and we have about 10 developers.
I have seen similar threads, see bottom of post, however I want to check if anyone out there is actully running a scenario close to ours, and hear about their experiences.
Is this smooth sailing? Are there any pitsfall,showstoppers? Which workarounds had to be done to get it working?
What are the performance requirements on the citrix server?
Similar threads:
NetWeaver Studio on Citrix/Terminal Service
/message/1271173#1271173 [original link is broken]

Hi,
The client machine which you are connecting using CITRIX needs to have NWDS installed. I don't have any documents for this.

Uploading par files in nwds and deploying back

Hi all,
I wanted to work with the masthead iview in nwds, so found it on the server as the par file and imported it into NWDS. Changed the headeriview jsp and deployed it back to the portal. But it is not working. Saw in another sdn thread that when you create the project in nwds, it does not bring up all the components from the par file as required and some class files are missing. I think this is the problem in my case. The solution to it was not given in that thread.
Would anybody help please.
thanks.
Lm

Hi
the following are the steps to modify a masthead.
1.Find the PAR file and copied to a temporary directory and renamed to the customer namespace taking off .bak extension.
2.Import the PAR file now using File->import option.
3.make necessary modifications.
4.once the JSP is edited, the PAR file needs to be created ans uploaded to the portal.If JDK is installed just login into portal and deploy the pAR file otherwise use PortalAnywhere to deploy it.
5.Now goto Content Administration->Portal Content->right click the folder you wish to create the mastheadiView.Select New from Portal Archive-?iView from the context menu.Select new masthead.
6. select poratal component Default and choose next.
7.enter the properties for masthead and next.
8.edit the Iview and saved it.
9.add the iView to Framework Page in portal catalog and edit page layout.
10.select iView from catalog and add it as Delta link and position it accordin to your need.
Hope this helps you to modify the masthead.
Regards
Victoria
