cannot create a new DC

[Former Member]

Hi all.

We have configure a JDI server.

But when we are using NWDS to connect that server, and create a new DC, it returns us the error.

Invalid name; on this server no name of category SAP_DevelopmentComponentName are allowed at all.

Whats the problem ? Thanks a lot

Hi,

I think you have not configured the name server properly.

In your SLD you should register a name server. name server can be same SLD server. then you should configure namespace prefix on the name server.

Please refer the JDI installation Guide for configuring name server.

bye and best of luck.

Hi all.

In JDI installation guide, the install of name server is optional. So we have ignore it.

We didnot configure naming server, is it the problem ?

Our jdi version is sp14

[Former Member]

Well... since SP14 it seems mandatory to configure a Name Server, otherwise you can get all kinds of errors related to Name Servers.

Just configure it to point to the SLD you use for NWDI.

Please go ahead and configure a name server.

Initially when were installing JDI we did not had a name server. we faced same problem. but then after configuring name server, all the problem were solved.

also make sure that you configure name prefix in your name server.

also recreate the track to reflect the name server changes.

Hi all. Now I have configured the naming server.

I define 2 namespace prefixes in sld - name reservation - content maintenance

one is

SAP_AllowedNamespacePrefixAscending : App

Name : comgroup.cn

another is

SAP_AllowedNamespacePrefixAscending : ken for SAP_DevelopmentComponentName

Name : ken

After it. But I also face the problem to define the name while creating dc in NWDS. Which name should I define ?

[Former Member]

Hi,

Now recreate the Track in CMS and then reimport the track in the Developer studio. this would solve the problem.

[Former Member]

Hi Jain.

How can I re-import the trace in developer studio ?

[Former Member]

You need to reimport track in Developer studio by removing previous imported track and then reimporting that track again.

for details please follow following steps.

1. Open developer studio.

2. Go to Menu windows->Open Perspective->other

3. Select development configurations.

4. In the local DC's view you will see your old imported track.

5. if you see old tack then right click on that and say remove configuration.

6. now again right click in the same view and select import configuration.

7. select the remote radio button.

8. it will show you list of all the tracks in CMS.

9. select the track from the list (here track name should end with _dev)

10. click finish.

your track is now reimported.

you can create DC in that track.

Hi Jain.

When I create a new dc, the developer studio ask me to input the vendor, name and caption. Why my name field is a disabled select field ? it always shows gray.

Is it correct ?

[Former Member]

this is correct. because it is picked up from name server. and your name server has only one vendor and name prefix, if you have multiple entires in name server then those fields are kept enabled and then you can change those values.

go ahead and create new DC's.

if your problem is solved then please close the post.

Hi Jain:

Thanks for your information.

Now I can see the naming choose select box in creation dc wizard. But after I click on next and finish, the dc creatation failed.

NWDS ask me to see the log, but where can I find the log ?

[Former Member]

The .log file is in the .metadata directory of your workspace folder.

Did you import the CIM content into the SLD?

Did you configure the Name Server in the DTR?

What version of NWDI & NWDS are you running?
