some nwdi questions...

[Former Member]

Hi guys,

I'm new to NWDI and I have the followin questions

a. We have SAP BI, XI and Portal and will most likely be customizing and developing some Java applications. Can a single NWDI infrastruture manage all the 3 SAP product, or must 3 NWDIs be setup ?

b. We are also planning to use CTS+, for Portal as there is no ABAP stack, which system can we link it to the STMS, can just any ABAP systems based on NW7.0 be used ?

thanks.....hope you guys can clear my doubts...

Hi Thom,

1) A single NWDI instance can be used to mantain the source for SAP BI, PI and portal. You can create different Software components and tracks as per your requirement. But, before you implement the NWDI have a look at the SAP Note 737368 (Hardware requirements of Java Development Infrastructure). This will help you size the server.

Refer to the following link for a better understanding of NWDI:

2) As suggested generally it is prefered to be a dual stack system (like the solution manager). A point to highlight is that CMS already existed in Java stack for transportation so why CTS+. Ideally there should be a single system transporting objects in a landscape. Rather, than having multiple systems. Hence, it would be prefered if all the transportation can be done and monitored from one system.

Yes, as long as it is java stack you can use the single NWDI instance. Even if it is different versions of java stack, single NWDI can hold it.

Also, for CTS plus, any ABAP stack is ok.

We are using NWDI for EP7.0, and CE7.1 with transports going to production through CTS+. which is a ABAP stack.

Hi Thom,

a. Single NWDI is sufficient to manage BI, XI and Portal. Depending on your different system versions, you can create different tracks in the same NWDI

b. For CTS, it is always recommended to use double stack system(for ex solution manager). It is not necessary that your portal should be on doble stack. Configure CTS on any other double stack system and connect to portal. It is also possible to use CTS+ on separate java nd ABAP stack, refer to CTS+ best practice document:
