Solman and JDI !!!

[Former Member]

Hi All,

<b>Solution Manager:</b>The SAP Solution Manager supports you throughout the entire lifecycle of your solutions, from the Business Blueprint thru configuration to production operation. It provides central access to tools methods and preconfigured content, that you can use during the evaluation, implementation, and productive operation of your systems.

whereas

<b>Java Development Infrastructure:</b>SAP NetWeaver Java Development Infrastructure (also named Development Infrastructure). It enhances the concept of an IDE by server-side services, which centrally provides the development teams with a consistent development environment and supports the software development during the entire life cycle of a product(Dev->QA->Prod).

can we correlate and establish a linkage between

Solman and JDI if so what points we you will consider.

Your inputs will be highly appreciated....

Regards,

RK

Hi Venkat,

good question.

Short answer is: the Solution Manager is a tool to ORGANIZE changes in a System Landscape, the NWDI is the tool to PERFORM the task for Java Development.

So both tools are meant for the same task, but on different layers. The Solution Manager uses the NWDI to perform Java Development and Modification. Besides, the Solution Manager is using a few more tools to perform the tasks, that are described by it (e.g. Software Lifecycle Manager, TMS, ...).

Have a look at the <a href="https://websmp206.sap-ag.de/instguidesnw2004s">Installation Guides for NW2004s</a> --> Installation

Best regards,

Timo
