NWDI advantages over other Version Management tools

[Former Member]

Hi all,

We have our own customized applications in our landscape.We are not using NWDI.We use an external Version Management tool. I would like to stress out what are the advantages of using NWDI rather than the existing version management tool.I have been questioned many times as to what is the need of NWDI if we are not using Standard SAP packages.

I request all of the members to highlight some major advantages of using NWDI interms of customized applications and thinking about the future

Thanks,

Sridar

Hi,

In Version management tools we can only maintain the versions i.e, backup of our developments. but in NWDI there are four different components for different reasons

1)DTR(Design Time Repository): This is used for version controlling.

2)CMS(Change Management System):Used to transport your source code from different landscape systems.

4)CBS(Central Build Service):Used to Build all the source code which we deployed.

5)SLD(System Landscape Directory):Used to store all the standard business packages required.

hope you understand the difference....for more details plzz check in sdn.

Regards,

Anil.
