Just curious as to "best approach" for installing the XSS java components....in our current configuration, our network/basis team chose to install the XSS components on the portal WAS(JAVA only) itself rather than on the ECC WAS(ABAP only). Since the components really just rely on having the JCO destinations set up, I figure "where they live" doesn't matter all that much. HOWEVER, I can see the pros/cons to the approaches. I can see them installed on the ECC box (I just think of them as plug-ins) but I also see the reasoning for having them on the portal (they are ESS/MSS). So, I am asking/wondering where other are installing these and what's the justification? Thanks in advance!
