<b>Prerequisites for installation:</b>

The installation of this New SAP NetWeaver Developer Cockpit requires SAP Enterprise Portal and SAP NetWeaver Developer studio containing the corresponding SAP Enterprise Portal plugin.You would also need authorizations for deployment in Software Deployment Manager (SDM) and Content Manager role in SAP Enterprise Portal.

Before proceeding for the installation you must have downloaded and extracted the "NetweaverDeveloperCockpit_NW04SP12.rar" from https://www.sdn.sap.com/sdn/downloaditem.sdn?res=/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/ into your local machine.

<b>Installation Steps:</b>

1. Start the SDM tool by executing the batch file "sdm_remotegui.bat" from the location "C:usrsap<Server Instance>Shortcuts".

2. Click on "Connect to SDM Server" button from the toolbar of SDM GUI:

3. Enter the SDM password and click "Login":

4. Click on the "Deployment" tab after you are logged into SDM.

5. Click on "Add SCA/SDA to Deployment list" button in the toolbar.

6. Choose "pdkcontent6.0.12.0.sca" file for deployment from the folder into which you extracted the .rar file.

7. Expand to see the archives contained within the SCA file and click "Next" to go to next step

8. In the "Repository Preview" on the right side expand "pdk-content" to view the archives that will be deployed. Click "Next" to move to next step.

9. Click "Start" to start the deployment.

10. Click "Confirm" when all the Deployment activities are over to finish the Deployment.

11. Now you can Disconnect and Exit from the SDM GUI tool. Also you can check the Business Objects in the Portal Content Studio.

12. After login to the portal with user having the Content Manager Role. Go to Content Management -> Content Exchange -> Package upload.

13. Upload the DevelopmentContent.zip archive. This archive is also part of the .rar file and contains the ICE (Information anc Context Exchange) contents.

This completes the installation of the New SAP Netweaver Developer Cockpit. As you might have noticed the installation is very easy and simple to perform. In case you have MaxDB as database, JDBC drivers needs to be installed separetly. For further details you should refer "NetWeaverDeveloperCockpit-Installation.pdf".

Hi Elad

You can download the latest version of NWDS from the Service Marketplace. The file will be one with a .SAR extension. Download this file. You also need the SAPCAR utility to un-SAR your file which is again available for download on the marketplace.

Once you have bothe the files, put them in a folder. Go to command prompt and typr this command

SAPCAR -xvf *.SAR

You should now get the executable file for NWDS.

Here's the guide for installing NWDS.
