Hi,

In NWDS menu -> Help -> Check for Updates one can if there is a new Software Update for the NWDS.

What kind of updates does it check/load? Is the check on PATch Level only?

Reason why I ask:

Check for Update says "Nothting to update"

Version of installad NWDS is:

SAP Enhancement Package 1 for SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio 7.3 SP08 PAT0002

(According to Help -> About Sap Netweaver Developer Studio)

When I go to https://nwds.sap.com/swdc/downloads/updates/netweaver/nwds/nw/731/doc/update.html -> Updating Developer Studio -> SAP NetWeaver 7.1 SP3 and higher -> New Installation there newer Version:


8.31.80000.130515070002SP08PAT0000
Windows (1.07 GB)
8.31.80007.131217130029SP08PAT0007
Windows (1.07 GB)
8.31.90000.130814064541SP09PAT0000
Windows (1.07 GB)
8.31.90003.131220134746SP09PAT0003
Windows (1.07 GB)
8.31.100000.131016093512SP10PAT0000
Windows (1.07 GB)

Thanks

Hi Kristian,

The check happens mainly at patch levels, but for me, even that did not work.

Try these SCN threads which i referred. They helped me a lot:

http://scn.sap.com/thread/1076997

http://scn.sap.com/thread/3250565

try these docs related to installation and upgrade of NWDS:

http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/80a100d2-109f-2e10-e996-c2b808037...

Hope this helps.

Good News! Update (at least on patch level) works within eclipse.

I gave it another try with PAT1 for 8.31.100000.131016093512SP10.

Before, I set the http and https configuration in the network settings preferences of eclipse to our internal proxy and provided authentiation information. After that to check if the update site is reachable one can test in the "available software sites" eclipse preferences the connection to the nwds update site. It did last a while until it succeeded, but it did.

Afterwards the "Check for updates" did start the p2 update wizard and showed that PAT1 is available...

Best Regards

Kris

Hi,

in my NWDS 7.31 SP11 P2 I had a wrong url in the update site settings (after install )

https://nwds.sap.com/swdc/downloads/updates/netweaver/nwds//nw/731/

Removed one of the two / between nwds and nw in the URL and all good!

Cheers

Oliver

just download from update site and install manually

only for NWDS 7.2, we use online update.

Really? The update site mentions that online update (update within eclispse via p2) is possible since NW 7.31SPx:

https://nwds.sap.com/swdc/downloads/updates/netweaver/nwds/nw/731/doc/update.html

Ideally, I dont ' want to just download and install because:

1 the download file is huge

2 for every download I have to add additional plugins to the new nwds

3 every developer has to reinstall instead of update

again a few tiny tasks that minimize developer productivity...

I'm able to update with "Check for Update" tool.

Last time I updated my client, it is updated to the version "SAP Enhancement Package 1 for SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio 7.3 SP10 PAT0000". That means online update should work.

Can you check if NWDS update site is included in your Available Software Sites (Help -> Install New Software)

(NWDS Update Site: https://nwds.sap.com/swdc/downloads/updates/netweaver/nwds/nw/731/)

I just tried the update mechanism on a laptop without any company firewall blocks, filters etc. to be sure that there is noch man in the middle preventing proper update.

I used a

SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio

SAP Enhancement Package 1 for SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio 7.3 SP08 PAT0002

According to update site (see link in my first post), there is a version:

8.31.80007.131217130029SP08PAT0007
Windows (1.07 GB)

When I do Help -> Check for Updates, it says "Nothing to update".

Via Help -> Install new Software and then select NWDS Update site in the drop-down it says:

No repository found at: https://nwds.sap.com/swdc/downloads/updates/netweaver/nwds/nw/731/

In the latest Version of version NWDS I get the same info No repository found at...

@SAP: NWDS Update via P2 really works? I have doubts...

Oh SAP-Lord, please let vanish the monolitic NWDS and give us plain Eclipse plugins with NWDS features, so we can maintain our custom Eclipse installtion package for inhouse usage!

This is most probably a certificate issue. I had the same problem and solved using the solution on this thread :
