Communication problems between NWDS and CE 7.1

27 Views

Hello,

I'm a sap basis administrator and we have just installed SAP NetWeaver Composition Environment 7.1 SR5 on Windows. The CE-Specific Post-Installation Activities have been performed :

*Configuration of Services Registry Webservice Destinations

*Configuration and Mirroring of local NWDS Update Site

When launching the URL http://********:50000/updatesite, the following information are displayed :

Installation procedure

Download NWDS_platform.zip. NWDS_platform.zip contains the SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio Platform Installer.

Unzip NWDS_platform.zip and start the installer IDESetup.exe.

During the installation you are asked for the update site location. Please accept the preconfigured URL that points to this update site.

The installer starts SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio (NWDS) automatically and invokes the Eclipse Update Manager where you can select the available NWDS features that you want to add to your installation.

We have been informed by the developement team that the SAP plugins weren't available in the developer studio.

So I installed NWDStudio on my local computer without problem, but when It comes to select the NWDS feature I had connexion issue.

Unable to access "http://nwds.update".

Unable to access site: "http://nwds.update" [Server returned HTTP response code: "503 Service Unavailable" for URL: http://nwds.update.]

Server returned HTTP response code: "503 Service Unavailable" for URL: http://nwds.update.

Unable to access site: "http://nwds.update" [Server returned HTTP response code: "503 Service Unavailable" for URL: http://nwds.update.]

Server returned HTTP response code: "503 Service Unavailable" for URL: http://nwds.update.

The NWDS first connect to the CE at the adress http://xxxxxxx:50000/updatesite/policy.xml as expected.

But then it tries tor reach the URL http://nwds.update

I had a look at the policy.xml file on the CE server and here is what I found :

Y:\usr\sap\CE0\J00\updatesite

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

- <update-policy>

- <!-- point everything to our update site

-->

<url-map url-type="update" pattern="*" url="http://nwds.update" />

<url-map url-type="discovery" pattern="*" url="http://nwds.update" />

</update-policy>

Is it normal ? What can I do to allow the update manager to select the NWDS features ?

Thank you in advance for your help.
