Installation of Sneak Preview Edition of SAP WAS Java 6.40

[Former Member]

Hello,

We are trying to use the Sneak Preview Edition of SAP Web Application Server Java 6.40.

For developing WebDynpro – applications without adaptive RFC – Models everything works fine.

But we want also test the Adaptive RFC.

We have the problem that we don’t know how to install WAS with an Backend R/3 – System.

Is this necessary ?

(Notice we have only an Mini WAS 6.20 from “SAP Press”)

Is there any installation guide available ??

Thanks a lot

Hello Manfred,

The Mini WAS 6.20 would be okay. You need to install the System Landscape Directory locally and then publish the system in the SLD.

If you need documentation on that, please let me know.

Hello Karin,

it would be great to get an documentation.

A few Questions:

Where do we get the SLD ?

How can we install it ?

Where should we install the SLD locally ( PC1 or PC2 ) ?

{We have installed the Preview Edition of SAP WAS Java 6.40 on one PC (PC1).

On another PC (PC2) we have installed the MiniWAS 6.20 (with the "normal" ABAP Development Workbench)

We have the opportunity to logon from PC1 to the normal R/3 (running on PC2).}

Thank you for your help.

Best regards,

Hi Manfred,

the SLD server is delivered and installed with the WAS 6.40 Preview, so you actually already have one on PC1.

There's a short documentation about starting/configuring the server in a new WD tutorial here: https://www.sdn.sap.com/sdn/developerareas/webdynpro.sdn?page=TutWD5_BAPI.htm

Hope that helps.

Hello Stefan,

thank you for the fast answer.

The tutorial was a good help.

But now i have the problem, that i dont know what i must

Port(http/htps): ???

can you help me ?

Best Regards

Hi Manfred,

the host is the hostname/IP address of the pc on which the SLD server is running (PC1 if this is the real hostname or use localhost (127.0.0.1)). The SLD is accessed through HTTP normally, so the port should be the default HTTP port of the WAS = 50000.

Hope that helps.

Hello Stefan,

thanks a lot for your help!

but now i have another problem.

when i try to create a new model in netweaver i don't

get a connection to our SAP R/3 System.

in the tabstrip "Load Balancing" there is no System available.

how can i get a connection to a R/3-System ?

best regards

Hi Manfred,

you can import the model(s) using the "Single Server" tab. The entries available at "System" in the "Load Balancing" tab are retrieved from "saplogon.ini" in your windows-folder (mainly used by SAP Gui Logon) and only message server group entries are selected from the file and displayed.

Hope that helps.

Hello Stefan,

I'm sorry but I get an internal error:

PluginName: Web Dynpro Model Editor Services

Plugin ID: com.sap.ide.webdynpro.service.modeleditor

Class: com.sap.ide.webdynpro.modeleditor.wizards.model.creation.ModelDialog

Method: nextPressed

Message: Internal error - see detail information in exception trace.

Exception: org.eclipse.swt.SWTException: Failed to execute runnable (java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError)

It seem's I have a fundamental error in my installation.

Do you know a solution for the problem.

Again, thank you for your help.

Best regards

Hi Manfred,

no, this happened not to me before (it seems i was lucky so far I'm not sure if this is possible with Sneak Preview, but maybe a separate reinstallation of the IDE might help.

Please be careful with the source installation directory, since it's rather easy to exceed Windoof's 255 character path limit, e.g. a source installation directory like "C:/WASInstall" is the ideal solution. Plugins which exceed this limit during installation are missing afterwards, but there is an error dialog displayed in that case. Did you have something like this after DevStudio installation?

Hope that helps.

Best regards

Stefan
