NWDI upgrade - Target Release Components

Hello everybody!

Currently, we are trying to upgrade our NWDI from 7.0 to 7.31. During the upgrade process of the server that contains DTR, CMS and CBS, in step 5.3 "Configuration - Information Gathering" we get a list of Java components (Target Release Components) with some additional information and the option to either remove these components or to "scan inbox" for component versions for NetWeaver 7.31.

In this list, there are some components with a component name that matches the application name of some (not all) applications we developed (like anlUsrWD in the heavily edited and shortened screenshot below):

My question is: What exactly do these items (those that match some of our self-developed applications) in this list represent ? Are they essential for CBS, CMS or DTR ?

A long time ago, this server was used as a test portal server. Maybe these are leftovers from past deployments that can be deleted, but maybe they are needed on this server and our build and deploy processes will no longer work without them, maybe even DTR will no longer work. We are in no way sure of what we have to do with them.

Can anyone help ?

Thanks

Michael

Hello everybody!

We finally found out that we can ignore these components safely, since the represent objects deployed a long time ago (as I assumed). They are not used for anything on this system, so we deleted them and everything worked fine. They are not needed for anything inside NWDI.

Thanks for your help anyway,

Michael

Hi Michael,

If these components match application names then don't delete. These may be bespoke applications. First confirm in your prodcution system whether these bespoke applications are used and running.

Hi Michael,
 

Hope you are doing good.

Nice to hear from you again. The SUM guide has more details about this as the status changes if the server which is configured as runtime or not.
Any components that you have modified in the source release have the status Managed by NWDI on the selection screen for the target release components. These components are not deployed during the update. After the update, you take the components from the NWDI transport directory and perform the modification adjustment by using the NWDI. You then deploy the adjusted software components (SCs) to the updated development or consolidation system.

Else, you can deploy them manually at a later point of time with say the telnet tool ( note 1715441).

   

Hope this helps.
