SDM Config in Netweaver Developer Studio 2.0.5

Hi,
  We have EP60 SP2 running on J2EE 6.20 . We installed Netweaver developer studio 2.0.5 and we created and web dynpro application successfully with the tutorial and tried to deploy it to the J2EE engine.
  Deployment process expects J2EE engine and SDM server configuration to be maintained. When i go to Windows -> Preferences in Netweaver developer studion i see SAP J2EE Engine and i configured it with Host and port, But i didn't see Software deployment manger plugin, How can i install this SDM plugin? Where do i find this plugin?
  Is that possible to deploy it by taking the Project package(.ear) file and import it with SDM? Is there any document explaining it?
Thank you
arun

Hi Arun,
the SDM plugin was available in earlier versions of the DevStudio. Now the SDM of the configured J2EE engine is used, there are no additional steps needed.
But anyway, Web Dynpro applications will not run on WAS 6.20, so it's pretty useless to get deployment working.
Regards
Stefan

  • Cannot deploy from netweaver developer studio to application server

    Hi
    I am trying to deploy a simple EAR (ConverterEAR) to my application server.
    From NW developer studio, right clicked on the SAP server that I have configured and try to a publish. It gives me the below exception. For some reason its trying to contact my old IP address. Is there a file where I can change this setting. My Laptop is set to use DHCP so my IP changes when I reboot my laptop. I also have configured a Microsoft loop back adapter.

    Hi,
    you could change the connection settings to the server in the preference page in the Developer Studio. Check <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwce10/helpdata/en/45/0cf28fb4d01f23e10000000a1553f7/frameset.htm">this</a> page in the documentation for details.
    In your case, you can also use the host name of your laptop, or even just localhost, in the Message Server Host field in the preferences page. This should overcome the problem with dynamic IPs.
    Hope that helps!

    Hi Jennifer,
                 This problem is a common one.
    1)Make sure that you have Administrator rights in the systems where you are launching NW Studio.
    2)Go to your workspace check the log file (basically a text file)
    3)Clear your unwanted registry in your registry folder.
    If this doesn't work, re-install NW Studio by deleting the older version from Add or Remove Program in control Panel.
    Give the Java bin path correctly and devote any folder of your choice to be your workspace.
    Hope it helps.
    Regards,
    Guru.
    P.S :- There is no link for launching of NW Studio with Internet Explorer as both are different applications.

    Hi,
    I got this solution from SAP and it worked.
    This is a known problem that appers due to an implementation bug,
    while trying to read the proxy information. The studio expects non-
    empty value for key com.tssap.config/proxy, located in
    [YourDevStudioInstallationPath]\eclipse\plugins\com.sap.java.ide\pl
    ugin_customization.ini file. During the installation no value is
    assigned to this key (as you mentioned - no proxy in your case). The
    problem will be fixed for SP14, however there is a workaround:
    1. Change the value for key com.tssap.config/proxy in
    plugin_customization.ini to something like this - proxy:80.
    2. After this change the DevStudio should start and you'll be able to
    configure your proxy settings from Menu Window->Preferences-
    >Workbench->Proxy Settings. (In your case - disable the proxy
    server)

  • Problem with Management Console for Netweaver Development Studio

    I installed the  Netweaver Development Studio and all works fine
    Normally the MMC shows SAP Systems and a J2E instance below it which is used to start the services
    But when I shutdown my machine and restart it again the J2E item below the SAP Systems does not appear and  I cannot restart the J2E/SAP/DB/J2EE services
    Is there another way I could restart all the related services from a batch file or a utility that takes a config file
    because for the last few days I am having to re-install the Developer studio to get it to work
    Please help me on this because I am wasting atleast 2 hrs daily to reinstall so that I can control all my services
    thanks
    Tony

    I think I temporarily fixed this problem I am not sure how this will affect the development.
    But atleast I can start the J2EE/DB services so that I can start and stop services from the MMC
    What was happening was that the services
    SAPJ2E_00
    SAPJ2E_01
    were not starting up because of the logon problems, the default account that was created SAPService( something like that ) was not able to log on, I changed the logon permissions to "Local System" and started the service, this time atleast the service started.
    I need to launch the Development Studio and see if I am able to work with the new account permissions on the J2EE server

  • Sap Netweaver Developer Studio Error.....

    Hi guys.
    I have a problem with Sap Netweaver Developer Studio i have installed JDK and NDS in my pc and i try to make the examples, i have finished to develop the applications(without problems) but i couldn't deploy them, i have a portal server installed and running, i tried to configure the server name in the J2EE Engine Configuration but it had no effect.
    I have the next error 
    Cannot determine sdm host (is empty). Please configure your engine/sdm correctly !

    Oscar,
    for WebDynpro-Projects you can create an .ear-archive in the context menu of your porject ("Create archive") that you have to deploy with SDM. BUT: webdynpro requires WebApplication Server 6.40! You cant use a webdynpro-project in your current ep60sp2-installation.
    for portal applications you can export a .par-arcive in the context menu of your project ("Export...", choose "PAR file") that you can import in your portal.
    you can't test your application without deploying it to a server. if you haven't got a connection to the server during developing, you have to install a portal or at least a WAS6.20(Java) & EP60SP2 or WAS640(java) & EP60SP>2 locally on your computer.
    if you choose to do that, i recommend the WAS6.40(Preview) because you can then develop webdynpros, too.

  • How to clear user for deployment in NetWeaver Developer Studio 7.0

    While deploying my application, I entered a wrong user name for the Deployment.
    Unfortunately,  NetWeaver Developer Studio 7.0 memorized this name and I do not know how to reset that.
    In NWDS 7.1 I could just press "clear all stored user names" in the preferences, but this does not exist in NWDS 7.0.
    I tried:
    - Change the SAP J2EE engine and go back
    - restart computer, NWDS, J2EE server, ....
    - delete the things under Local Settings\Temp
    Nothing helps...
    Does anybody know a solution?

    Hi Anu
    Thank you for your answer.
    > Just shut down the nwds itself and try it in a new session.
    I run NetWeaver Developer Studio 7.0 as a Windows Program, I do not know how to "try it in a new session". But restarting my computer did not help.
    I do not use NWDI.
    > generally in nwds teh system just asks about the SDM password.
    But how can I specify the SDM user. The current user which is used by NWDS is wrong.

    As we have SAP Netweaver Developer Studio.
    Thankx in advance,

    Hi Shakthi,
                Further to Divakar's points,
    After you download & install Netweaver Developer Studio from http://service.sap.com for free,
    you have to open the studio.
    goto windows -> open perspective -> select Webdynpro from the list of preferences available.
    it will open the Webdynpro perspective.Then create your Webdynpro project and deploy it.
    for deploying goto window -> prefernces -> sap J2EE engine -> give your WebAS server name or server ip address here.Default message port is 3601.
    Deploy your webdynpro applications and provide your SDM password each first time you open your Studio and then run your applications.
    Enjoy ur programming.
    hope it helps.

    Hi
    If you are using EP 7.0, then NWDS 7.0.YY version need to be used. //YY depends on your  patch of EP7 .As you have mentioned your are using NWDS 7.0.12, that means your portal SP level is SP12.
    In my prject i am using JDK 1.4 for NWDS 7.0.15 and its works fine.I have asked two of my colleagues , they told that in their project they are using JDK 1.5 for EP 7.0 server and application is working fine for them.
    So
    Thanks
