Is EAR to SDA conversion needed for EJB EAR module

Hi,

I have developed an EJB (and corresponding EAR) in SAP NWDS CE 7.1 SP10.

Now I have to deploy it to a PI system via JSPM.

Is conversion from this EAR to SDA is mandatory for it?

I could have used CECLT for EAR to SDA conversion, but I have developed these ejb & ear as local projects not as "local DCs".

And I think CECLT works only with "DCs" right?

Also, I tried sapmake_util tool, but it says that EAR to SDA conversion is not needed as its already considered as SDA.

Please help.

Thanks and regards,

Amey

It's not manadatory to convert EAR to SDA if u deploy it using NWDS itself.

Check : 4.11 Setting target server for deployment at:

http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/c0b39e65-981e-2b10-1c9c-fc3f8e674...

Otherwise Using CECLT also u can convert your EAR to SDA:

You can give Application name as JNDI name and any Vendor name, they are most probably used just to create directories on PI server.

Hi Mayank,

Thank you for reply.

I wont be deploying EJB EAR module with NWDS. I will be giving this EAR to other team which will deploy it with JSPM.

In this case, is it necessary to convert it to SDA?

I have created these EJB and EAR as Local DCs now. And I tried "createsda" command in CECLT.


createsda -n remlfear -v pg.com -l D:\CEWorkspaces\A171406.jdi\LocalDevelopment -c 1 -type J2EE pg.com~remlfear.ear F:\Amey\ResultSDA\pg.com~remlfsda

But it gives this error -->

ERROR: The file pg.com~remlfear.ear does not exist on filesystem

Any idea how to resolve this error?

Please help.

Thanks and regards,

Amey

Give absolute file path for pg.com~remlfear.ear also.

createsda -n remlfear -v pg.com -l D:\CEWorkspaces\A171406.jdi\LocalDevelopment -c 1 -type J2EE pg.comremlfear.ear F:\Amey\ResultSDA\pg.comremlfsda

If it does't work remove special character ~ from the file names and rename it later

Hi Guys

I am trying to convert the .EAR file to the .SDA using nwcetool and nwpacktool and both are giving me the same results.

The results I am getting have the same .ear externsion it doesn't not give me the .sda externsion

Results: ExcelFileRead.ear with the message "with compression"

What could be that problem?

Below is a command that I'm running for this conversion:

createsda -n ExcelFileRead -v pi.module -l ExcelFileRead -c 2 -type J2EE C:\EAR.ear c:\result\ExcelFileRead

I have no idea about the extension ".ear".

But I believe you can change to ".SDA" and then deploy with JSPM.

Thanks and regards,
