configuring NWDS

[Former Member]

HI

Is it possible to configure NWDS 7.1 with SAP EP 6.0

Or we need to configure only with SAP EP 7.0

Hi Revanth,

You can use lower versions of NWDS with higher version of EP(exactly WAS version).

But you can not use higher versions of NWDS with lower version of EP.

For your information: You can use both versions of NWDS( 2.0.X and 7.0.X) within one system. But you have to install lower version first and higher versions later.

regards,

Siva

Hi,

It isn't a question of configuration.

When you compile a project Eclipse uses jars from your local machine (NWDS 7.1)

At runtime the portal uses the files on the server (EP6).

The "7.1" jars are newer than the "6" jars or sometimes contains jars that doesn't exist in older version so you'll get

"NoClassDefError"/"ClassNotFound" at runtime.

So that's why the version of NWDS/Portal should be the same (even the same SP).

Hi Omri,

NWDS has nothing to do with the version of EP, it is just that you are deploying your applications in EP through NWDS.

Infact i am using NWDS 2.0 and my EP version is 7.0 and i never faced any problems till now.

I hope i have cleared your ambiguity.

Hi,

I agree that NWDS and Portal are not related, but the fact is that compile time jars and runtime jars should be the same...

If your NWDS and J2EE version/SPs are the same you know for sure that you won't get runtime errors when you run your projects.

There are many threads on this issue on SDN...
