How TO DEPLOY JAR FILES INTO XI Server using SDM

[Former Member]

Hi XI Gurus,

im working on adapter development. we have created jar file in NWDS.

now going ahead to deploy into XI server through SDM.

can we deploy jar files directly into xiserver through SDM. or it needs to convert to any other formate like EAR, SDA. then how would i convert to SDA.

i any have clear idea on this... pls throw the ways how to convert........

JAR File to EAR format

JAR file to SDA format

EAR file to SDA format

can any one explain the procedure step by step how to convert jar file into deployment archive file in order to succesfully into XI server.

thanks i advance. points will be rewarded.

Check this guide, how to create EAR files out of jars:

https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/f013e82c-e56e-2910-c3ae-c602a67b...

For adapters you have to create RAR files. See the sample adapter how it has to look like.

HI S,tefan

Hi Rajesh,

JAR file in itself in not deployable.

So v need to envelop this jar file into an EAR file and then v deploy this EAR file on SDM.

Creating Jar

Inside NWDS --> Windows --> Open perspective --> J2EE Development --> right click on ur proj --> Build EJB Archive

Converting .EAR file to .SDA

Hi Prateek,

Thanks for u r valuable reply.

But, in which cases we will create SDA files to deploy through SDM.

EAR files can be deployed through SDM ?

Thanks & Regards
