PI 7.1 Java Mapping Source Control

[former_member53486]

Hi Guys,

I was wondering if any of you could shed some light on source control when developing Java Mappings in PI based on your experience. Or could you please point me in the right direction with some links where I can gather more information around this topic? I basically have two questions to things I'd like to find out before I start the dev.

What the pros and cons were for using NWDI as the source control and framework to develop Java mappings in PI?

Are there any other (more efficient) options that serve the same purpose?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi,

You can either use NWDS(Netweaver Developer Studio) or Eclipse to develop java mappings in PI.

Hi,

I have developed many JAVA Mapping programs using Eclipse, it is really comfortable,and even genarating Jar file also very simple.

Go with eclipse.

Arjun,

NWDI will be the right choice to manage your Java code.

I have personally not had an implementation where this was utilized but in case you find that there are a good amount of java developments in your implementation, it is best to use NWDI. If enterprise portal is already in your landscape NWDI infrastructure can be shared.

As for the tool, the obvious choice will be NWDS

Thanks mate.

The issue is that we don't have NWDI and NWDS in our landscape as yet.

Would there be any other good options for me to start with before we get those?

Btw, this is the best response I've had so far and inline with my question. Thankyou.

Well without them, an eclipse based editor or netbeans etc might be fine.

But it is best that you get NWDS and leverage the functionality.

You can use any JAVA Editor(Eclipse.NetBeans,JDeveloper etc) to develop JAVA Mappings but NWDS recommanded one.

I dont find any disadvantages in NWDS,it is really good editor and provide greater flexibility.

But coming writing coding,write main method in NWDS for every JAVA Mapping test correctly,before genarating Jar file comment main method or remove main method.

and follow good JAVA coding standards.

Thanks for your response Raj,

I was actually interested which of these is preferable in terms of version/source/revision control when developing.

Your response could be one or the other is easier to set up and syncs well with PI or something along those lines.

The question arises only because NWDS & NWDI are quite versatile tools that do a lot of things and dtr is only part of it. So for the simple purpose of generating JAR files it maybe overkill.

Any opinions on that?

Thanks guys.
