Getting started with NWDS

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am just trying to take the first few steps with NWDS and WebDynpros and am somewhat lost.

I have <b>NetWeaver 04, Web AS 6.40 and EP6</b> on a single test server.

What are the prerequisites for installing NWDS and writing the first Web DynPros?

So far, I have found out (from reading the forums, SAP help, OSS notes):

- Java SDK, which version?

- get license key for NWDS from SAP

- set up SLD

- what else?

Can anyone point me to a good starting point?

I have found the tutorials on this site, but that is only the next step.

Thanks

Hi Lothar,

You already have the server installed (Single test server). I hope it was already configured properly.

1. Install Java SDK (j2sdk1.4.2_07) - You have can check the correct version to be used in the release notes.

2. Install the NWDS.

3. In the NWDS, click the "windows --> preferences --> SAP J2EE Engine", enter the "Message Server Host"(test server name) and "Message Server Port" (normally it will be 3601) of your test server.

Open the "Help" (SAP Web AS Documentation --> SAP Web Dynpro Applications), search for "Creating Your First Web Dynpro Application". Develop your first webdynpro application.

If you require any further help do let me know.

Hi Santhosh,

Thanks for your help so far.

I have now installed NWDS on my client PC.

Most importantly, I have found the installation guides on the service marketplace.

I am still not sure, whether my environment is configured correctly.

When I try to deploy my first WebDynPro app, I get an error message:

Server .... did not accept login request as apiadmin on port 56418 - Wrong password supplied - Request for Logon rejected.

I have a few more questions:

Do I need to install Netweaver developer <b>Workplace</b> on my Test server, too?

Do I need to configure my SLD, if I want to access R/3 systems using adaptive RFCs?

Hi,

It is not necessary to install NDS on ur test Server.

Check ur Message server port .It might be probelm for deploying application.

U need to configure SLD and JCO Destinations to access R/3 to using Adaptive Rfcs

Hi,

To start with developing simple webDynpro app you need to have NetWeaverStudio installed on your machine( Includes IDE and engine).

SLD configuration is also not mandatory.
