NWDI role in different technical insallations

[former_member202443]

Hello,

I want to configure development, consolidation, test, and production system on different machines. I just want to clear the understanding whether NWDI will be installed on every machine or It should be only on development system with CE and all CE systems would use it as centrally. Can I then release software process from one system to other system Dev>consolidation>test-->production.

how will be the release process?? only in one direction Dev----

---

>production??? if I find any error in test system which I want to remove in by developers in development system, does in this case test sytem can send the software components to development system for making error free?? or just development system will remove the errors and release it again with a new track???

additionaly I want to understand whole process of software release with developement to production systems. Can any one recommend me any source for reading??

Regards,

Naeem

now i know the concept.

You need only one (high available if you have a lot of development going on) NWDI installation, preferably on its own hardware. It is highly discouraged to run NWDI together with another SAP system on the same hardware, because of the resource NWDI requires and the possibility of system restarts during deployment from NWDI to the run-time system.

Developments and fixes always go from Development to Production (which is the normal development process). You do not need a new track for fixes to Production systems. You can use the Consolidation stage to make fixes to productive code when you're already developing a major update in the development stage of your track. The changes made in the consolidation stage will automatically flow back to your development stage. This may raise integration conflicts though in case you updated sources that have already been updated in the development stage. NWDS contains an Integration Conflicts view to handle these.

Kind regards,

HI,

no u dont need to install NWDI on all the servers

u can have one central system with NWDI installed, create a track in the system where u have installed NWDI and in the runtime systems configuration u have to give the details of other systems dev, cons which u want to have in the landscape.

Dev and cons are the only two systems with source code repository. that means u can do corrections only in these systems,

Test and production systemns only provide u a runtime environment.

Hello Satya and Pascal,

Thanks for your feedback. I am convinced from your response. I know the process from Development system that you make SCA files using NWDI (CMS, CBS) and deliever them to other systems to import them into their environment like in test. But how do you release the software components to production system from test system since there is no NWDI installed??? Do we have to configure it remotely by using configuration wizards "Change Management Service (CMS): Create an Application Skeleton"

In short in step one (development to test) but how does the process goes further from test to production??

Hi,

Can You explain your lanscape i,e no of systems u have and about the runtime systems u have configured in the track..i,e in which system u have installed NWDI?

If you have configured a production runtime system in your track u will find a tab production in the transport studio. once you import the SCA in test system it will be automstically put in the queue of the production system and there u can impoer directly.

Hello Satya,

Thanks for the email.

Well actually, I have installed a development system so far there I have only development, consolidation, assembly, approve and system sate tabs. I did not install production system so far.

you can understand there are two places where i have to install the system, on is development side e.g. software development company, and the other is client site, the sytem what I have to install in my landscape are as follows.

I want to installed 3 system on client site like

prepration--->production

prepration Fix ---> production also.

on my development site (soft. Dev. Company) I have to install

development --> consolidation

consolidation-->Test

Test-->client site prepration system of the client site as mentioned above. And I have local fix system on development side which goes to preparation Fix to client site like below

Dev. Fix ---> Preparation Fix

which goes to then client site production system

Now I guess you get the idea how I like to orchestrate the landscape.

can you now help me to evidence NWDI role and release process in the landscape.
