Development Component Dependency in CM Service

[jongeun_song]

Dear All..

We are using CM Service to tr transport Web Dynpro Java object into our target system.

But we are suffering from the DC(Development Component) Dependency.

Let me explain the situaiton in the below.

<The First>

Like the ERP ABAP System, we can develop and change DC which is referenced by another DC.

One developer developed A DC and another developer developed B DC.

B DC is referenced by A DC in Model view in the NWDS(Netweaver Development Studio).

In this situation if A DC should be transported to our production system,

we have to check-in and activate and release activity.

By releasing A DC,the B DC is packed in a DIP(Development Infrastructure Package) file together because of

dependency between A DC and B DC.

Is it right?

If it is right,what should I do if the B DC have a some problem and if I don't want to transport it.

Of course If the developer which develops B DC does not activate after check-In,

the B DC which have a problem in that time is not packed in a DIP file.

But the developer which devlops B DC also have to test and activate to transport into our QAS system before deploying

into our production system.

This is the our first problem.

<The Second>

So far as I know the deployment process is composed of like this.

Stop Applicaiton -> lock application -> deploy -> Start Application.

Is it right?

I found out that the time for locking application depends on the applicaiton dependency.

For example If we deploy some application having much dependency with other application,the system first try to stop whole

related applicaiton and then deploy and start application again.

I think this kind of situation is natural.

Unfortunately our some application is referenced by all applicaiton(For example the application which is used by other applicaiton commonly).

So If we change this common application and deploy,our whole applicaiton is stopped and started again.

In this situation are there any useful deployment method or development method(minimization of application dependency) to prevent

customer affection when we deploy web dynpro application?

DIP? never heard, new tech for CM?

regarding the second point, if it is the case, it is very natural right? why it concerns u?

Thanks for your reply.

DIP is a unit which we can transport our DC(Development Component) into our production system using CTS+.

You can find more detail information in the document.

"How To... Configure CM Services in SAP NetWeaver 7.3 and up"

Also regarding second question,as I said already it is natual but I'm just searching for the best reference to deploy webdyn  object which have a many dependency.

For example,manually stopping before we deploy.
