I'm looking into installing a DI on a Windows platform to be able to use Adobe Document Services. I've read over Barbara Roth's document concerning system i and ADS and looked at the threads on this forum. I guess I'm just too dense to "get it".
All our SIDs are NW04 (ECC 5.0) with ABAP only. My questions are:
Will I need to install the Java addon to one of our system i SIDs?
Will I need to install a NW04 Windows DI or can I use NW70?
thanx

Hi Mark,
if you have already a J2EE system on Windows, for example an Enterprise Portal, you could use this too for first tests on ADS. I wouldn't do it on a Productive system, but just to see how it works. We used our test Portal installation. ADS is part of every J2EE installation. So we didn't have to do anything except connecting it to our ECC Development system.

Ingrid

Hi Mark,
Windows yes, but just on a 64-bit server.

Hi Mark.
I would like to add some remarks to this thread. The best resource dealing with using ADS with IBM i is Barbara's article you already mentioned. Beside that there are several SAP Notes and some threads in this forum dealing with the subject.
Regarding the question whether to use NetWeaver 04 or the 7.0 release Victor and Volker have given the most relevant arguments. The question whether you set up a dialog instance based on Windows to an central instance on your IBM i or to set up a central instance on Windows with its own database is mentioned in the article. The suggestion there is to install just a dialog instance on Windows as setting up a central instance on Windows needs additional database administration skills and additional database licenses.
Best regards,

Hi Mark,
when you use the SR3 DVDs, you need to be on 64-bit. It doesn't let you install the system on a 32-bit. If you use the SR2 DVDs, you can use a 32-bit server. And then you can import the Support packages afterwards.
That's what I found. Not sure what SAP's official strategy is.

Thanks for all the replies. We only have NW systems on the iSeries platform so a Windows instance will be new for us. I'll proceed with gathering information about install a JAVA only instance on Windows. If anyone here could point me to some online resources of information it would be great!
thanx

Hello Mark,
We have all systems based on Netweaver 7.0, so I am not sure you can do it the same way with ECC 5.0.
We have ECC 6.0 running on iSeries (ABAP only) and then installed a separate J2EE standalone system used for ADS on Windows, in our case running on MS SQL Server. The configuration itself is pretty easy following the ADS Configuration Guide.

Ingrid

Hi Victor,
you are a bit correct, but in my opinion, 7.0 is the far better release ...
As he has to move to 7.0 at some time anyway and has ABAP only right now, I would strongly use the 7.0 Java-only approach on Windows - learn there a bit on 7.0 technology with ADS and then be prepared for the "real systems" in a few months or years ....
