Webadmin vs NetWeaver Administrator

Hi all,
hopefully someone can help me clear up something.
We have a CRM 4.0 system with a WebAS Java 6.40 SP9. This system has a J2EE Example: Web Administrator application (technical name: sap.com/webadmin). This is marked as an example tool, but seems very handy.
Then we have multiple other J2EE Engines 6.40 SP9 and much higher that do not have this webadmin tool anywhere at all. Instead there is the NetWeaver Administration tool (tech name: sap.com/nwa). This is also nice but does not do what the webadmin tool does: providing a HTML interface for the Visual Administrator.
Why are only some J2EE Engines shipped with the webadmin tool and what is it's future?
Cheers
Marcel Rabe

Hi,
the story is this:
WebAdmin was the first try, a test balloon to bring Java admin functionality into the browser. SAP has hugh interest in making VisualAdministrator redundant (SP/Release dependent, extra tool/executable...). SInce WebAdmin was no longer maintained, it seemed too dangerous to let this tool in the examples page, so we removed it.
Nevertheless, WebAdmin did not meet official UI technology standards, so we started developing a new Java WebDynpro application from scratch, the NW Administrator. With the next major NW release, the Visual / WebAdmin functionality will be available in NW Administrator. We are on the way, give us a little bit more time.
Best regards
Christoph

Netweaver administration and SAP Web Application Server r the same?

Hi All,
I am a Basis Consultant & new to Netweaver,..
I am interested in Netweaver administration..
1.I am confused wheather netweaver administration and SAP Web Application Server r the same?(or WAS is just another component of Netweaver).
2.Do we need to administrate all the components of Netweaver(EP,BI,etc.,)seperately as an Netweaver Administrator?
Thanks in Advance ,
Malti

Hi Malti,
You must first download and read this document and then read 'help.sap.com' for what is netweaver.
<a href="https://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/e1515a37-0301-0010-b2bb-99780cb4cafa">Introduction to Web Application Server</a>
The above mentioned document is a crisp guide to what is WAS.
Further I got this from the sdn/netweaver webpage
SAP NetWeaver is a web-based, open integration and application platform that serves as the foundation for enterprise service-oriented architecture (enterprise SOA) and allows the integration and alignment of people, information, and business processes across business and technology boundaries. It utilizes open standards to enable integration with information and applications from almost any source or technology. SAP NetWeaver is the foundation of SAP xApps and mySAP Business Suite solutions, and also powers partner solutions and customer custom-built applications.
<a href="https://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/netweaver">SAP Netweaver SDN Page</a>
You have lots of reading to do now.. hope that helps

NetWeaver Administrator reports "SLDirectory is not accessible"

Hi,
NetWeaver Administrator (http://host:port/nwa) on our SP12 XI installation reports:
System Landscape Directory is not accessible
Only local system can be administered
The SLD is actually on the same server and is working correctly, even accoding to the WebDynpro Content Administration.
Anyone know what might be wrong?
Thanks,
Thorsten

Hi Dmitriy,
the setup of the NetWeaver Administrator connections to SLD is described in the Monitoring Setup Guide. There is a quick link in Service Marketplace /nwa -> media library -> documentation -> Monitoring Setup Guide.
Basically the steps to connect NWA to SLD are the following (if you have already registered the systems of your system landscape to SLD and have set up the monitoring for the systems):
- In the Visual Administrator of the Central Monitoring System (CEN)(NWA-System) under Server->Services-> SLD Data Suppliers you have to enter the CIM Client Generation Settings (http connection to SLD with User/PWD). Mark the applications "sap.com/tclmwebadminmainframewd/webdynpro/public/lib/app.jar" and
"sap.com/tclmwebadminsldwd/webdynpro/public/lib/app.jar" (This enables the NWA to get data from SLD.)
- In the ABAP Engine of CEN, the RFC connection SAPSLDAPI must be maintained, the connection data for SLD must be entered in transaction SLDAPICUST. (This connection helps entering monitored systems in SLD.) Additionally you require a JCo RFC Connection which points from the NWA system to the RFC connection SAPSLDAPI of CEN. Create this connection in the Visual Administrator of the NWA system under Server -> Services -> JCo RFC Provider.
- SLD gateway information has to be entered in transaction RZ70 of the Central Monitoring System. (With this transaction the data transport from CEN to SLD is managed.)
- For each administered system you can store the login data with help of the Destination Service of the NWA system. (If you don't do this you get login popups in NWA for all administered systems). You can enter the login data in Visual Administrator -> Server -> Services -> Destinations as described in the documentation.
All the steps are described in detail in the Monitoring Setup Guide.
Good luck
Bye,
Astrid

Is MI WebConsole and NetWeaver Administrator- Mobile Administrator SAME ?

Hi
I am trying to access MI - WebConsole but could not make it.
I have SAP Web AS 7.0 with MI 2.5 installed with latest service packs. After all configuration (SAP MI 2.5 SP17 Standard install/config guide), I could not get SAP MI WebConsole. Getting 404 error.
After reading few documents I have an assumption/suspection that
MI WebConsole is for SAP Web AS 6.4 and
NetWeaver Administrator -> Mobile Administrator for SAP Web AS 7.0
to do the same functionality.
So the question is...
is MI WebConsole (http://<server:port>/me/WebConsole/login
will not work in SAP Web AS 7.0 as it has been replaced by NetWeaver Administrator -> Mobile Administration ?
(http://<server:port>/nwa
If not, do we still need MI WebConsole inorder to make communication between R/3 (ABAP stack) and MI 2.5 Client(laptop)
Even http://<server>:50100/me is not working. Always getting 404 Error.
I have http and https configured successfully.
Please advice.
Here is my system landscape for the reference:
SAP MI 2.5 (middleware) -> installed in a separate server with ABAB+JAVA stack and SAP Web AS 7.0.
SAP ERP 2005 (backend) -> installed in a separate server with ABAB stack only and SAP Web AS 6.40
SAP MI 2.5 (client) -> installed in a laptop with Windows XP Pro.

hello sri,
java sync servlet and MI WebConsole will still be supported
for awhile when the Mobile NWA gets matured...
MI WebConsole is only an administration tool, the MI Sync
Servlet is the one responsible for data transfers from
your MI client to MW. In 7.0, the Mobile NWA will become
the primary tool instead of the MI WebConsole and java
sync servlet will also be substituted by the ABAP sync
service. you can easily configure you MI using templates.
your errors might be some configuration problems.
try tracing for exceptions in your J2EE visual admin.

jo

SAP Netweaver Administration

Hi SAP Gurus,
I am working as a Weblogic Application Server Administrator/Engineer for past 5 years. I want to make a career change and enter into SAP world. I want to stay in the Administration world though I have 5 years of Java development experience.
Recently I am doing some research and trying to understand SAP Basis Administration and SAP NetWeaver Administration. I understand that SAP Basis Administration is for previous R/3 Systems and NetWeaver is SAP New platform which replaces R/3 system.
I request to clarify above understanding if I am mistaken.
I have been looking at Job posting in NetWeaver administration and I get SAP Basis job posting reponses. I am confused with this ...
Should I learn both SAP Basis administration AND SAP NetWeaver Administration to enter into SAP Administration world
Can anyone shed some light on this
Thanks --Gopal

Hi Gopal,
SAP Netweaver consist of 2 application platforms, The first one is the R/3 abap system (this is where the Basis come from) and the second one is the J2EE that serve as platform for the SAP Enterprise Portal.
Basically a good Netweaver administration should have good knowledge about both.
Follow the link for the product description

Hope this help

In the Netweaver Administrator web console, we want to enable debugging (System Mgmt > Administration > Systems. For some reason, the 'Enable Debugging' button is greyed out for the J2EE server process. Have you seen this before?

You can enable debugging from visual admin:
Logon with Visual Administrator ->Server->Services ->u2022 Go to Configuration Adapter:->u2022 On Display Configuration go to: cluster_data -> Propertysheet instance
->Switch between Display Mode or change ->->Double-click on u201CProperty sheet instanceu201D opens:
Make sure the DebugMode is set to u201Cyesu201D to debug the portal.
You can specify the port here....and siable debugging on some nodes (as per need)
