Preview installation with ABAP, JAVA and EP

[TMNielsen]

Hello all

I repost this topic to mark with the "question star".

I been inactive in the sneak preview area for a few month and I see here in SDN that a lot of new software is ready for download.

I have also read some of the postings from this forum, but I'm not sure what I need to have an installation with both ABAP, JAVA en EP.

Can anyone verify that I need:

1 server for the WAS 6.20 for ABAP

1 server for SAP Enterprise Portal 6.0 SP4 NetWeaver Stack 2 Developer Workplace Sneak Preview for JAVA and EP.

And that I can join the 2 systems via rfc or connectors.

Is it also possible to get a Sneak Preview to Web Dynpro (or is it included in the above) ?

Best regards

Hello Thomas,

the easiest way to install what you described are 2 computers. You can communicate between the two Systems via RFC. The "SAP Enterprise Portal 6.0 SP4 NetWeaver Stack 2 Developer Workplace Sneak Preview for JAVA and EP" includes Web Dynpro.

The combined ABAP and JAVA stack Web AS doesn't support installation of EP on top.

If you want the features of both ABAP and JAVA stack in combination with EP then you will need two WebAS instances, one of those MUST BE Java ONLY!

I suppose you could manually club things together with SDM, but the installation program (SAPinst) in its current form is pretty specific in its checks for a JAVA only Web AS before letting you proceed with EP install.

I have not done a thorough check of the details on why you cannot run EP with Athe ABAP stack, it hasn't been worth the effort of trying....
