Setting up development landscape for E Commerce R/3

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

Need some good document reference for setting up our landscape for E Commerce 5.0.

I have gone through lot of documents and information but nothing consolidated about best practices to follow while doing so,

In our landscape we will have R/3 DEV, QA and PROD (All ready there) AND

3 corresponding AP 7 boxes for IPC and WAS (to deploy ISA java components)

The missing link in this is how best to use NWDI to talk to the 3 AP systems.

Q1 . Should we have 1 separate Box which has NWDI installed or can we use AP7 box for DEV to also use that for NWDI. (In this case on 1 BOX we will have IPC, WAS/ISA and NWDI.. so worried about performance)

Q2 Just in case itu2019s advisable to have a different BOX for NWDI, then how to configure NWDI to have all the 3 different AP 7 Boxes as part of development landscape to deploy ISA java applications from DEV to QA to PROD environment.

Thanks and regards,

A1. Use a separate box for NWDI.

A2. You can define up to 4 target runtime systems per development track:

1. Development

2. Consolidation

3. Test

4. Production

Thanks for the reply.

My client says they dont have a QA environment. So they just have DEV and PROD. Since its a very small setup, We want to setup NWDI just for DEV and then PROD. Is it possible to not have QA ?

I typed "you can have 4 runtime systems". That doesn't mean you need to have all of them...
