New track creation for 7.3 in NWDI 7.0

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I need some valuable inputs / suggestions in creating a new 7.3 track with necessary dependencies in NWDI 7.0.

We are currently using NWDI 7.0 for our development activities.

But, i have a requirement to deploy the existing DC's(webservices) to new portal 7.31 web application server without disturbing the existing tracks.

As we dont have any plans to upgrade existing NWDI server, we need to create a new 7.31 track with necessary dependencies.

As part of this activity, i read few SDN threads and found out the below mentioned steps:-

1.       Back-up of existing NWDI content (Is it required and if required what are the steps to follow for taking the back-up ?)

2.       Install JDK 1.6.0_65 on current NWDI 7.0 landscape

3.       Load CIM model or CIM data into SLD ( what is the version to be downloaded SMP ?)

4.       Visual Administrator – Setting CBS Service properties

5.       Creating New track and setting runtime variants

6.       Migrating existing DC (webservice) to newly created track.

Kindly let me know, if there are any steps missing for performing the above mentioned activity.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I have read this document(setting up a new track for 7.1 in NWDI 7.0) and want to understand if there are any pre-requisites for 7.3.

Also, i have few more questions which are listed. So, could you please provide more details about it?

if you can follow that for 7.1,  no big change for 7.3

you may not have wizard to create track for 7.3, but it is not a big deal, just follow the note to add required sc

1. no need

I created a new track in NWDI 7.0 with all 7.3 dependencies and then tried to created project in NWDS 7.3(from newly created track).

But after project creation a pop-up displays and ask me to Migrate the projects. When i tried to do that i get the below mentioned error..

""IWAB0014E Unexpected exception occurred"

and can see all DC's with errors. Please suggest.

[junwu]

what's the type of this DC?

[Former Member]

The track includes Java, JAVA EE and Webdynpro dc's.

I can see most of the DC's are broken with an error message as mentioned below(mainly due to EJB DC build failure):-

I have created a new track with all 7.3 dependencies and frowarded the SCA file from the base track(with 7.0 dependencies) to target track(7.3 track with related dependencies).

And I noticed that the dependencies are missing in the newly created 7.3 track.

Most of the dependencies which are missing are standard libraries.

[junwu]

have u imported the dependent SCA files?

[Former Member]

Yes, I have imported dependent SCA files and included jars files to the track.
