Is it required to install CE Runtime to use new WDJ features of CE7.3

[Former Member]

Hi,

We want to upgrade from 7.0 to 7.3. Is CE runtime optional when we install / upgrade to 7.3? I mean we want to use only WDJ features of CE 7.3 but not have runtime. Do we get any advantages with this approach like license cost saving etc? Please advise what are the components/features of CE 7.3.

Please refer me to any SAP documentation/notes.

Hi Aditya,

All usage types from SAP NetWeaver 7.0, SAP NetWeaver CE 7.1/EHP1/7.2, and SAP NetWeaver PI 7.1/EHP1 have been consolidated and are shipped as SAP NetWeaver 7.3.

You can still have a similar configuration as for SAP NetWeaver CE by installing the appropriate usage types, namely BPM (which will automatically install all other composition and Java usage types except for the enterprise portal, Adobe, NWDI, etc.).

When you install SAP NetWeaver 7.3 with any Java-based usage type, you'll get Web Dynpro Java 7.3 - but you also need the SAP NetWeaver Studio 7.3 to develop and deploy.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. And Very sorry for the delay in replying. They have differed the upgrade to a later time so i lost track of this question.

John is correct. I want to know if it is possible to use wd4j 7.3 feature without CE usage in NW7.3. Do we get any advantages with this approach like license cost saving etc? Please advise what are the components/features of CE 7.3 that can be used without using the CE runtime.

Hi Aditya,

if you meant that you are developing at the moment for 700 using a 700 NWDS and deploying to a 700 runtime system,

and now you intend to install a 730 NWDS, then yes, of course you need to have a 730 runtime system where you deploy your WD for Java applications. You cannot deploy a WD4Java application to a 730 runtime system that you have developed using 700 NWDS.

I hope this helps.

Best Regards,

Ervin
