ESS WebDynpro in Portal - all language specific applications must run ?

[Former Member]

Hi folks,

we are using the Business Package for ESS. When deploying the BP to the portal, you find a really huge list of started WebDynpro applications providing the same functionality for different languages.

Example (to be seen in -> Content-Administration -> Web Dynpro -> Content Administrator -> Deploeyd Content -> sap.com 😞

sap.com/ess_araddr

sap.com/ess_auaddr

sap.com/ess_beaddr

etc.etc.

As we only use and will only use one language (german) in the portal, i am asking myself, if all these running applications are really needed ? We only need "sap.com/ess_deaddr". Won't it be better for the server to disable/undeploy all the others ?

Why are they all running ?

Would be nice to have an official SAP statement regarding this issue.

Thanks a lot !

Hello,

placed an OSS request and got the following answer

***************

...

these applications are not language depending applications, but

countryspecific.

You might call the services for Germany in all languages where the

language resoutrces are available.

There is no recomandation from SAP to delete the other applications.

But there shouldn't be a problem if you delete a ccountryversion which

is not needed.

Of course you will get a dump if you delete the version for a country,

which is needed by an employee.

Hi

Not sure if you can just undeploy other languages wd applications.

However, I think you can disable the WD application in Visual Admin.

I did not come across any sap statement regarding this. Will let you know if I find one.
