Error while defining dependencies in NWDI

[Former Member]

I created a Product in the software catalog.

Also 2 components under it.

For one of them e.g. UTIL s/w component, I need to define dependencies.

There is a context drop down I get that is blank.

Also when I click on <b>define prerequisite software component versions</b>, I get a WD error:

[code]The initial exception that caused the request to fail, was:

java.lang.NullPointerException

at com.sap.sld.wd.softwarecatalog.CreateNewDependency.supplyFilteredSoftwareComponentVersions(CreateNewDependency.java:231)

at com.sap.sld.wd.softwarecatalog.wdp.InternalCreateNewDependency.supplyFilteredSoftwareComponentVersions(InternalCreateNewDependency.java:378)

at com.sap.sld.wd.softwarecatalog.wdp.IPrivateCreateNewDependency$IFilteredSoftwareComponentVersionsNode.doSupplyElements(IPrivateCreateNewDependency.java:1693)

at com.sap.tc.webdynpro.progmodel.context.Node.supplyElements(Node.java:406)

at com.sap.tc.webdynpro.progmodel.context.Node.getElementList(Node.java:345)

... 38 more[/code]

What could be the reason? I have not yet installed the SCA files related to NWDI.

Hi,

You should deploy those SCA files first of all before starting with NWDI administration. once you deploy it, these files will be available in cms_cbs plugins folder and from there you put it into cms_inbox folder (by copying).Then only you can define the dependancies.

Hope it helps,

Hi do you know where I can get those files. Are they available at marketplace?

[former_member188632 · Accepted solution]

Hi,

Those files are available on market place, but what version of Ep are you using? because file names are different for EP6 and EP7,

Login to www.service.sap.com

1)Navigate to Downloads--> Additional Download Info

2)Expand “SAP Support Package Stacks” from the detailed navigation link.

3)Select “SP Stack Download”.

Select SP Stack SAP Netweaver’04 (or 04s as per your requirement)

4)The new window shows the SAP NetWeaver 04 support package stack download. Enter the Target Stack as 16 (10/2005), Select Development and Enterprise Portal in the Usage Selection.

5)If the Check box Restrict according to Usage is ticked then the only those items selected in the Usage Selection criteria will be shown.

6) Click on “Next Step”.

Select

--> SAPDEVINF14 0-20000267.sca (JDI Online 6.40).

--> SAPBUILD14 0-20000950.sca (JDI Build tool 6.40 SP014).

-->SAPDEVINFF14 0-20000268.sca (JDI Offline 6.40 SP14).

These file names are for EP6 , you can get the files for EP7 here at this location only.

Hope this helps,

Hi,

One last question before I stop.

Those zip files consist of further more zip files and sda files.

Do I only deploy the sda's?

[former_member188632 · Accepted solution]

Hi,

No you need not to deploy those other files, only those three files will be sufficient to solve your issue.

When I download them from the download basket, I get zip files even though they are shown in the name as .SCA

DICBS09_0-10003500.zip

DICMS09_0-10003499.zip

DIDTR09_0-10003501.zip

SAPBUILDT09_0-10003479.zip

Any idea what to do
