SAP NetWeaver, Enterprise Portal, NWDI/JDI. For more information, visit the Portal and Collaboration
homepage.
Summary
This document explains how to begin with implementation of NWDI and how to create the tracks. NWDI
(NetWeaver Development Infrastructure) provides consistent development landscape for the developers and
helps us to develop software during the life cycle of a product. Connectivity to the NWDI is provided through
NWDS (NetWeaver Developer Studio).

Getting Started
SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio provides the connectivity with the NWDI providing consistent
development landscape for the developers and helps us to develop software during life cycle of a product.
Here we will explain some of the basic terminologies that are used in NWDI.
Design Time Repository (DTR): Versioning source code management. Distributed development of
software in teams. Transport and replication of sources.
Component Build Service (CBS): Central build based on the component model.
Change Management Service (CMS): Central administration of the Java development landscape
and the transports covering the entire software life cycle.
Software Deployment Manager (SDM): Manual and automatic deployment of archives in central
runtime systems.
System Landscape Directory (SLD): Information on the system landscape.
Downloading SCA files

All the SCA files for implementing NWDI, you will get at https://www.service.marketplace.com.
You should possess an S-User id to gain access to these files.
To install NWDI following support packages from SAP Service Marketplace must be downloaded. The
support packages are: JDI Build Tool 6.40
JDI 6.40
JDI Offline 6.40
The technical names would be
SAPDEVINF14 0-20000267.sca
SAPBUILD14 0-20000950.sca
SAPDEVINFF14 0-20000268.sca
Special case for SAP NetWeaver 2004s
The basic difference between NW 2004 and 2004s is introduction of Usage Types.
A new usage type DI (development infrastructure) is available for NW 2004s so this should install NWDI by
using template installer.
Deploying SCA files through SDM
Login to SDM:
Click on development tab and import the files and deploy them in following order
SAPDEVINFF14 0-20000268.sca
SAPDEVINF14 0-20000267.sca
SAPBUILDT14 0-20000950.sca
After all the three files have been deployed, restart the J2EE engine.
Basic Configurations
Configure the jdbc connector
For configuring the JDBC connector doing this log in to the visual admin tool and follow the path
Go.bat server0
services
JDBC connector

Choose tab strip Properties.
Select sysDS.maximumConnections.
Set the value greater than 45.
Under Value, enter the new parameter value.
To set the parameter, choose Update.
Save the entries.
The visual administrator tires to restart the JDBC Connector service.
UME ROLES
Now as you are done with JDBC configuration, we will now start with UME roles, for that follow this link
http://<hose name> :< port>/useradmin
For NWDI you need following roles:
Assigning roles for administrator user
Create the role as JDI.Admin &
Assign following actions
1) CBS.Administrator
2) CMS.Administrate

Assigning role for Developer user

Create the role as JDI.Developer & assign following actions
1) CBS.Developer
2) CMS.Display
3) CMS.Export
UME Groups
Now Create a new group named JDI.Administrators and assign JDI.Admin role to it, similarly create the
group named JDI.Developers and assign the JDI.Developer role to it.
You can also create the test user to be able to work with the JDI, assign the Administrator user to the
JDI.Administrators group.
Security Provider & SLD Roles
Now we will edit the security provider property, in visual admin tool.
Choose the tab Runtime

Policy Configuration
Security Roles.
In the Components section, choose the application sap.com/com.sap.lcr*sld.
