Build Error - Unknown Entity Type

[Former Member]

We are developing External Library DC projects and attempting to create the Public Parts necessary for the NWDI compilation and assembly requirements. The project builds fine without Public Parts, but when we add one, we receive the following build error:

Reading BuildInfrastructure extension from DC tc/bi/util (vendor sap.com)

Added technology 'sap.com/tc/bi/core'

Error: unknown entity type 'Assembly'.

Anyone know what would cause this?

Do we need to add additional Software Dependencies to the Track?

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks,

This is an update to document a possible solution for this scenario. We are preparing for these patches right now and should have results in the next few days.

Thanks to Angel Dichev, with SAP America, for his assistance in tracking this down.

It appears the issue is related to the Stack 14 implementation and requires a patch on both the NWDS and NWDI environments.

NWDS:

http://service.sap.com/patches -> Entry by Application Group -> SAP NetWeaver -> SAP NETWEAVER -> SAP NETWEAVER 04 -> Entry by Component -> Developer Studio -> SAP NW DEVELOPER STUDIO 2.0 -> Win32 -> JIDE14P_1-10002804.SAR

(Patch for SAP Netweaver Developer Studio 2.0 SP14 from April/5/2005)

NWDI:

http://service.sap.com/patches -> Entry by Application Group -> SAP NetWeaver -> SAP NETWEAVER -> SAP NETWEAVER 04 -> Entry by Component -> Development Infrastructure -> JDI BUILD TOOL 6.40 -> #OS independent -> SAPBUILDT14P_4-20000950.sca

(Patch for JDI BUILD TOOL 6.40 SP14 from Jan/30/2006)

If you use SDM the 3 sca-s are going to be updated under

usr\sap\<SID>\SYS\global\CMS_CBS\plugins

the build date should be Jan/26/2006

Copy these SCAs to the CMS inbox:

usr\sap\JTrans\CMS\inbox

Check-in and reimport them with CMS to every Track (Dev and Cons branches).

You'll need to reimport the branches to the DevStudio too.

Thanks,
