Cannot select vendor when creating new DC

[former_member182374]

Hi all,

I'm using NWDI, version is 7.14.

When I try to create a new DC the vendor dropdown is disabled and all I see is sap.com (see snapshot - http://img390.imageshack.us/my.php?image=newprojectjq3.jpg).

I have opened several projects in the past with no problem (and I could choose my own vendor, the one I created in the SLD).

How can I solve this?

Thanks,

Omri

Omri,

Have you done the name server config

http://server:port/dtr/system-tools/administration/NameServerConfiguration

check all the settings are done in sld http://server:port/sld

check these threads

Thanks Bala.

See snapshots for my configuration (which looks OK):

The "Development Configuration Path" is empty but it was always empty (it's mentioned in the thread you wrote)

This configuration is working for a year now and this is the 1st time that I cannot open a new project (the post installation steps were done after I installed the server and I didn't have any problems).

You need to reserve namespace prefixes containing your vendor name in the SLD.

Hi Pascal,

Please see snapshot for name reservation configuration (which looks OK)

What else can I check?

Omri,

Check if your NWDS is reporting problems:

- Close NWDS

- Delete all *.log files (including .log) from workspace/.metadata

- Restart NWDS and login to NWDI

Then have a look at the .log file.

There could also be a problem in the Name Server Configuration of the DTR.

http://<nwdiserver>:<port>/dtr/system-tools/administration/NameServerConfiguration

You should see the connection info for your SLD. If not, check that your SLD system is still marked for Name Reservation in SLD - Name Reservation (you should have a button saying "Disable this SLD as Name Server for NWDI").

Regards,

Pascal

Hi Pascal,

I don't see any errors in the NWDS log file:

Under http://<server>:<port>/dtr/system-tools/administration/NameServerConfiguration I see the following URL: http://<server>:<port>/sld/cimom with nwdi admin user and password and 'TrustedCAs' as 'Trusted Store'. I only have entries under the 1st name server (the 2nd is empty).

When I navigate to http://<server>:<port>/sld/cimom I get 'This is the location of the SLD CIM Object Manager that processes WBEM requests (CIM operations over HTTP).'

When I check the name server prefix 'haifa.ac.il/hu' in the SLD the 'Disable this SLD as Name Server for NWDI' button is active...

In the Name Server Configuration at my current job the Name Server URL does not contain the /sld/cimom path. See if removing that fixes your problem.

[former_member182374 · Accepted solution]

I removed the '/sld/cimom' but still I cannot select vendor.

Did you re-login in NWDS? Perform a restart of NWDS to be on the safe side...

[Former Member · Accepted solution]

What happens if you add "haifa.ac.il/*" as prefix?

[former_member182374 · Accepted solution]

I get "Unable to create haifa.ac.il/* name prefix, because it intersects with existing name prefixes" error (I guess because haifa.ac.il/hu already exists...).

Also, I don't want to delete 'haifa.ac.il/hu' because I have several projects/activities which are open...

You can safely remove the old prefix, since the * prefix encapsulates it.

[Former Member · Accepted solution]

You can also just create another one like "haifa.ac.il/test.*".

Thanks Pascal.

I have some progress: I can select the vendor (the vendor dropdown is now active) but the "Name" dropdown is not active...

Any idea?

Hi Pascal,

Solved it.

Adding haifa.ac.il/hu after haifa.ac.il/* solved the problem (the other way around is not possible).

Thanks a lot for your help.

You don't really need the name box, unless you want to make sure all development components start with a certain prefix.

Glad your issue was solved.
