Question on Check-in, Activating and Releasing Activities

[Former Member]

Hi!

I'm new to NWDI, and I have a question on Activating activities. I'm currently working on a WD app that uses NWDI, which uses different boxes. My question is, if I activate a certain activity in Box A for example (since that is where I do my local deployment), will my changes be reflected in all of the other boxes, say Box B? Or do I need to release it in order for my changes to be seen?

Also, Box A and Box B has already been configured to connect to the same SAP R/3 server.

I'm not sure if I explained it correctly, but don't hesitate to ask additional questions.

Thanks!

When you activate in NWDS, the changes will be autimatically deployed to the NWDI DEV runtime system (RTS) if "Disable Automatic Deployment" is unchecked for RTS RTS. See

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/35/1cd66947184aa8915ca1831c59b6c1/frameset.htm

If you do not configure DEV for automatic deployment, see see SAP Note 770522 for manual deployment.

If your Box B is your DEV RTS and your Box A is a target of your local deployment, then Activation in NWDS will deploy to Box B (assuming auto-deployment is enabled, see above). If your Box C is your CONS RTS, then you need to Release in order for your changes to go to Box C. If your Box D is TEST, then you need to Assemble and Import in CMS to deploy to Box D. If your Box E is your PROD, you need to Approve and Import to Prod to deploy to Box E.

Read this documentation to understand the whole process:
