ESS/MSS using NWDI

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I need to configure track for ESS/MSS. I have followed the "JDI Cookbook for ESS". But In one step I got stuck. As per the guide I need to download the following .SCA files from service marketplace and need to place those in inbox folder of CMS.

The files are

o SAP_JTECHS.sca

o SAP_BUILDT.sca

o SAP-JEE.sca

o SAPPCUI_GP.sca

o SAP_ESS.sca

o SAP_MSS.sca

Now I have downloaded those files but getting two versions for each SCA like bellow

SAPBUILDT12_0-10003479.SCA

SAPBUILDT12_0-20000950.SCA

SAPESS12_0-20000512.SCA

SAPESS12p_4-20000512.SCA

SAPJEE12_0-100003469.SCA

SAPJEE12P_7-100003469.SCA

SAPJTECHS12_0-10003467.SCA

SAPJTECHS12P_23-10003467.SCA

SAPMSS12_0-20000503.SCA (Only one)

SAPPCUIGP12_0-200001215.SCA

SAPPCUIGP12P_1-200001215.SCA

So my confusion is which files(from two versions of each component) I need to put in inbox for each component or I need to put all the SCAs in Inbox.

Can anybody give the suggestion.

Thanks in advance.

I recently configured my track for development and I added the following components:

SAPBUILDT12_0-10003479.SCA

SAPBUILDT12_0-20000950.SCA

SAPESS12p_4-20000512.SCA

SAPJEE12P_7-100003469.SCA

SAPJTECHS12P_23-10003467.SCA

SAPMSS12_0-20000503.SCA (Only one)

SAPPCUIGP12P_1-200001215.SCA

and it seems to work fine...no issues.

Thanks,

Hi,

Thank you so much for your suggestion. As per your suggestion I have done and I am able to configure my track and I have imported that track in my NWDS.

But I have one more confusion here. After importing that track in NWDS I am able to see all those SCs and DCs for ESS, MSS and others in Active DCs and in Inactive DC I am getting only two SCs which I have created in SLD and those are blank.

To customize one DC what should I do? Can you please tell me steps details. I have tried to Sync Archives one SC from Active DCs and then it is coming in the track which is located in Local DCs but in Web Dynpro perspective I am getting nothing. I think I am not doing it in right way. Please tell me the way to customize.

One more suggestion from you. I have gone through the JDI Cookbook for ESS. At the end of the doc I got that at the time of SP up gradation I need to compare metadata to get the modification with the upgrade SP. But see suppose I have done some customization in one DC and SAP is also done some modification on same DC. The how I will put my modification in new SP. At that situation metadata comparison is a very complex job. Do you have any suggestion over it.

Thanks in advance

Chandan,

Put all the required components in the CMS inbox and checkin and import into development and consolidation tabs .then you will see the DCs in active tab.

coming to upgradation it is a tedious task and you have to manually move all those changes from one track and we have recently done that after some struggle.

Any doubts revert to me

Thanks

Hi Chandan,

In the inactive dc's you must be able to see ESS & MSS since these are the only software components where we are allowed to make changes.

In order to start with development, you will have to expand the dc list and select the dc which you want to customise and then from the context menu select Create Project. This will add the project to you Local DC's and you will see a small green spec on the DC which mean it will be available in the WD explorer for customisation.

Now when you try to edit the code, it will ask you to create an activity, which will hold all the changes you make. When ur done with the changes, you will have to check in th activities from the Open Activities list. If you simply say check in and do not choose to activate it will be present in the inactive sources list. Once you activiate those changes will be sent to the active code and other developers when they sync from it they will get the updates.

Regarding SP updgrades, it is a tedious process for sure, but I guess you wouldnt need that now would you? It calls for merging ur changes with the new code of the sp through meta data comparison.

Thanks,
