Which Developer Studio version?

Our company is starting to evaluate using the NetWeaver technologies (Developer Studio, Web AS, etc.) for development and we're currently at a loss as to what version we should be using and where to get the current version.
We're planning on using Web AS 6.40, if possible. We currently have a NetWeaver Developer Studio DVD that shipped with Developer Studio 2.0.4, which seems to be fairly old. We have a few questions:
1. What version of Developer Studio is current, and where can we download it? I've seen some installers on the Service Marketplace, but no full package.
2. What is the recommended DB? We have tried using MaxDB off of the DVD, but there are packages that reference MS SQL Server as well.
3. What is the procedure for patching the local development environment? I'm unsure what Web AS and NWDS patches I need to get to the correct version. At one point we found a SP7 patch for NWDS, but this left us unable to run what we developed as the "Deploy and Run" command errored out.
It's wishful thinking, but it'd be nice if there was a clear upgrade path for local development. We'd like the ability to install a base system with a clear upgrade path.

Version 2.09 is now the most reason. The updates can be found at service.sap.com
The donwloads are rather huge, certainly after you've 'unsarred' the files.

Is SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio Version: 7.0.12 Compatable with JDK 1.5

Hi
I want to user Java SDK version 1.5 instead of 1.4.
Is SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio Version: 7.0.12 compatible with this or not.
Please let me know

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

Help With Netweaver Developer Studio Version

Hi everyone I have a problem, I am doing some examples to programmer Web dynpro using netweaver developer studio, How can I know what is my Netweaver Developer Studio version? Because I have a trial version and I dont know if my version is compatible to doing some examples, for example I found this link
Web Dynpro Java Tutorials and Samples NW 2004
and I wanna doing the example "Using EJBs in Web Dynpro" and when I open this document it starts with SAP netweaver 04 and I don't know if my trial version is compatible with this example.
Thanks

Israel,
Open your NWDS, go to Help/About.
Most likely you will see something like:
Version: 7.0.11
If version is 7.0.X, your NWDS is NetWeaver 7.0, formerly known as NetWeaver 2004s.
Most likely there will be no problem running examples from NW 2004, earlier version.
Just make sure your JDK you have on your dev computer has similar version as JDK on the target server, if you are building locally and deploying your application to another server.
Post if you have a different version.
We will guess what NW version it belongs to.
Regards,
Slava

Netweaver Developer Studio Version 2.0.18 and Version: 7.0.09

Hi All,
Can I run both versions,
Netweaver Developer Studio Version 2.0.18 and Version: 7.0.09 in the same computer? Pls let me know.
Thanks,
Kumari

Hello Kumari,
You can use both versions of NWDS in same system. But make sure that while installing the second one specify a different work space. We have already did it.

SAP Netweaver Developer Studio Version Issue

Dear All,
We need a clarification on SAP NWDS version to be installed on client machine.
We have standalone SAP NW 7.3 (Enterprise Portal) server. Its SP level is sp00.
To develop and deploy portal applications, Which NWDS version we need to use.
We have the[ LINK|https://nwds.sap.com/swdc/downloads/updates/netweaver/nwds/nw/730/doc/auto_com.sap.netweaver.developerstudio.distribution.complete.extsoa_versions.html] to download NWDS
Please let us know which NWDS version we need to download.
We have SAP (NW 7.3 SP 00) EP Server. Can we use NWDS 7.3 SP02 to develop and deploy portal applications?
Can we have NWDS version higher than NW server?

Hello,
we are using NWDI (with the SCA corresponding tio the respective server versions) for development.
Can we use NWDS 7.3 for development of NW7.0 applications (=NWDS version is equal or higher) or do we need to use a developer studio with version corresponding exactly to the servers version?
Regards,
Manuel

Developer studio versions

Has anybody tried to use Websphere Studio to work on a Web Dynpro and connect to SAP J2EE? Is this doable or we leave open source to enter the proprietary world?

Hello Greg,
I'm not aware of anyone having done this before.
SAP Web Dynpro comes with its own Eclipse perspectives. Those perspectives actually enable the so-called way of declarative programming of user interfaces which means that you only declare objects, properties and relations. The actual implementation Java code is then generated by the IDE. Of course, there exist the possibility to add custom code to the model and business logic. But the UI of Web Dynpro is generated.
The Web Dynpro deployment descriptor (SDA) is a superset of the J2EE EAR deployment descriptor. So here again, the assembly of the deployment archive is Web Dynpro specific.
Furthermore, Web Dynpro is integrated with the SAP Java development infrastructure (JDI) that enables team development, versioning and staging (DEV, QA/Test, PROD) of Java applications.
So from a developer perspective and for efficiency reasons I would rather use the IDE corresponding to the J2EE server, in that case to use NetWeaver Developer Studio for Java development for SAP.
Regards
Michael

SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio Version: 2.0.4 Lib for webservices

I developed a client for few webservices with the developer studio.
Inside the developer studio everything works perfect.
Problem:
Somebody has a complete library ( those jars from the IDE ) to support my laziness and prevent me from putting those jars together having a standalone java client running ?
With best thanks

Hi,
Hope the procedure is same like with windows. Go to Windows -> Preferences -> SAP Enterprise Portal. Give host name and port number.

NetWeaver Developer Studio version

Hi,
I am getting an error message "java.lang.NoSuchFieldError: _typeRegistry" running Web Dynpro using webservice. I am using full SneakPreview SP15.
I replaced webservices_lib.jar file in J2E.
But now I got new error "java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/sap/engine/lib/xml/parser/tokenizer/XMLDOMTokenReaderNew".
It looks like my NWDS ( v. 2.0.15) is not compatible with SP15.
I am getting the same errors on our development box:
sap.com/SAP-JEECOR 6.40 SP14(1000.6.40.14.0.20050921043441)
sap.com/SAP-JEE 6.40 SP14 (1000.6.40.14.0.20050921043604)
Web Dynpro Runtime Vendor: SAP, Build ID: 6.4014.00.0000.20050905165427.0000 (release=630_VAL_REL, buildtime=2005-09-20:20:24:49[UTC], changelist=366934,
What NWDS version I should use? Or can I attach new .jar files to my .ear file? - I don't know how Class Loader is working in Netweaver.
Thanks in advance
Vicky

Hi i suggest you, that puts the same SP level of your SAP Netweaver Development Kit and your J2EE Engine, that should be works.
The SP´s for NetWeaver you can found it this page in the Download´s Tab.
I have your solved
The solution is: Uninstall SP15, download and install SP16.
ps. all those things can be found around the forum.
Good luck!!

1.I have installed SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio Version: 7.0.09
2.I have installed Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8.0
3. I have Adobe Reader 7.0.
Now when I am editing the interactive form from NWDS, it says "Could not find the required product, Install SAP Interactive Forms - Adobe Live cycle designer to edit the Interactive Form"
Have I missed some additional settings after the installation? And is there anything to do with the versions?
Can any one suggest me how to resolve this issue ?

Problem launching Adobe Designer in Netweaver Developer Studio

Hi All,
I have successfully (I believe) installed all the components required to have Adobe Interactive Forms running on WAS 6.40 (SR1), in accordance with Achim Hauk's blog 'My struggles with the Adobe Document Services in WAS6.40' (thanks Achim!).
When I go to try the Interactive Form tutorial, and I launch the Adobe Designer 6.0 from Netweaver Developer Studio (version 2.0.9) by right-clicking on my InteractiveForms UI element and selecting 'Edit', I get a popup error 'An error occurred decoding Base64 data - encoded data is invalid or corrupted'. Does anyone know what this means and how to correct it? When I press the OK button on this popup the Adobe Designer is correctly launched, however any changes I make within the Designer don't seem to be saved.
Any help would be very much appreciated. Not sure if it makes any difference, but I have Adobe Reader 6.0.2 installed on my client.
Thanks
John Moy

Hi John,
I've installed the SP15 sneak preview last weekend. Based on my experience, if you are not using SSL set up, you only need three steps to set up ADS.
1. Create user ADSUser and user group ADSGroup
2. Set up basic authentication
3. Set up credential file
Now, step 1 and 2 which is in the guide is already done when you finish the installation of sneak preview SP15. All you have to do is to set up credential file.
I was having problem with Read timed out issue, and Markus pointed that web service time out need to be increased in my case. I haven't tested it yet since I am away from my PC, but i'm pretty sure it will fix the time out problem.
Also if you download the credential a while back, that file will expired the end of this month (Feb). Markus has posted a new credential file which will expire in June.

Iwan

Deployable External Library in NetWeaver Developer Studio 7.01.06

I'm using SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio Version: 7.01.06 Build id: 201001061835
I need to make an External Library with some JARs inside. I've made an External Library component and I've created Assembly and Compilation public parts. After A LOT of attempts to make things work, I've resorted to using a custom build script to copy the JAR in the public part output folders. I've added the Compilation public part dependency in my Web Dynpro's Used DC list.
The Web Dynpro builds without errors.
Now the problem is that when I run the Web Dynpro application it gives me a ClassNotFound Error.
I've followed the instructions of many different guides and no one worked. I've found thousands of different procedures all to make the same thing and all of them differed in crucial parts. I'm stuck here with no ideas on how to make this ******* IDE to work.
I've tried to create an J2EE Server Component Library to which I've added the Assembly public part of the External Library but the GEN folder of the public part directory of J2EE SCL is empty! I have NO application*.xml files inside the J2EE SCL to edit.
If you're reading this and you're kind enough to help me, thank you.
Remember I have version 7.01.06.
Thank you again,
Pietro

Hi
Just out of curiosity, is your project of type DC?
If it is DC allow me to quote Mr Walter Kahn
The solution using DC's is very simple.
As a first step, undo all the stuff you have done up to now in this thread, including removing any build-time references, and deleting anything you entered in the application-xml files. When you are back to a "clean" Web Dynpro DC, do the following:
Step 1: Create an External Library Development Component
1.1) Switch to Development Infrastructure perspective.
1.2) Create a new dc of type External Library (eg. mycompany.com/downloadexcel/lib)
1.3) Switch to the Resource perspective when prompted and copy your JAR's to the libraries folder of the project.
1.4) View the Component Properties (Window -> Show View -> Component Properties)
1.5) Click the tab "Public Parts".
1.6) Add two public parts, one for COMPILATION and one for ASSEMBLY. Give them names likeexport_excel_comp and export_excel_asbly
1.7) Right-click each public part, then click Manage Entities -> Archive and select all the JAR's presented for selection.
1.8) Click the Permissions tab, and check Entity Forwarding Allowed.
Step 2: Create an Enterprise Application Development Component
2.1) Switch to Development Infrastructure perspective.2.
2.2) Create a new dc of type J2EE -> Enterprise Application (eg.mycompany.com/downloadexcel/ear)
2.3) Switch to the JavaEE perspective when prompted.
2.4) View the Component Properties (Window -> Show View -> Component Properties)
2.5) Click the Dependencies tab, and add a dependency to the DC created in Step 1. Do not change any of the default options.
2.6) Click the Permissions tab, and check Entity Forwarding Allowed.
2.7) Click the Public Parts tab and create a new Public Part of type COMPILATION. Give it a name, eg. pp_export_excel
2.8) Right-click this public part, choose Reference Entities and select the COMPILATION public part defined in step 1.6 above.
2.9) Right-click this dc, and do Development Component -> Build.
Step 3: Using the External Library in Your Web Dynpro Application
3.1) Switch to Web Dynpro perspetive.
3.2) View the Component Properties (Window -> Show View -> Component Properties)
3.3) Highlight your Web Dypro dc, and then in the Component Properties window select theDependencies tab.
3.4) Add a dependency to the dc created in Step 2. Accept all default options.
3.5) Build and deploy the Web Dynpro dc. If you have not changed any of the default options along the way, you will notice that the EAR of Step 2 also gets deployed.
Your Web Dypro dc should now compile correctly and also run on the server as expected.
Quoted from here.
You may also refer to my blog where I use external jars ....

Character encoding in Netweaver Developer Studio

Hi all!
I've migrated a EP5E Project to P6 and it worked fine. But now I use another workstation and while trying to open a java-file of migrated project I got
"Error Encoding Problem, this file is unreading using the UTF-8 character encoding".
The java-file contains german characters like "ä".
I'm using SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio Version: 2.0.5
Build id: 200404200353
Does anyone know, how to set Character Encoding in NetWeaver Developer Studio?
Thank You

I've found the solution:
Changing the encoding used to show the source
To change the encoding used by the Java editor to display source files:
With the Java editor open, select Edit > Encoding from the menu bar
Select an encoding from the menu or select Others and, in the dialog that appears, type in the encoding's name.
Note: this setting affects only the way the source is presented.
To change the encoding that the Java editor uses when saving files, specify a text file encoding preference on Window > Preferences > Workbench > Editors.
