NWDS and PI version

[Former Member]

Hi,

I would like to get clarified if I have to use NWDS Version corresponding to the PI server version or SP level for deploying Java applications?

I would like to have a Jar file deployed into PI 7.0 SP14 ? Which version of NWDS should i use ? I am assuming the version of NWDS should not raise an issue? If it does, please let me know from where I can download NWDS for PI 7.0 ?

Thanks

XA

Though JDK higher versions are backward compatible, I would want you to consider appropriate JDK version based on PI version. Since PI 7.0 based on JDK1.4/JRE1.4, I would recommend to use NWDS version that supports this for compiling and running. If you dont find NWDS for this release , then download available version and try to setup the installation with Jdk1.4. Then use this version for development and deployment for PI 7.0

Baskar,Thanks for ur inputs.

NWDS 7.2 requires JDK 1.6 , for even opening up the GUI. ..

And I am not able to find previous versions of NWDS . from the official download website..

Ref- https://nwds.sap.com/swdc/downloads/updates/netweaver/nwds/nw/720/prerequisites.html

Where would i find an NWDS release for 7.0? As per your suggestion, it seems to me unlikely that application could not be deployed using the latest version...

As I said before, Why dont you install the latest NWDS version and use the JDK 1.4 as java version during installation.

Hi Baskar,

Its like this. I have zipped file containing , which after extraction, has an EXE file that will open up NWDS and it's asking for J2sdk 1.6 as it's one of the per-requisites..

If i dont have, J2sdk 1.6 , i wont be able to pull up the NWDS GUI

REgards,

That means latest NWDS might not fully support working with older versions of PI 7.0. Since the latest JDK versions are backward compatible, you can try using the latest JDK 1.6 with NWDS and deploy and see the behaviour. There is no way to install old versions of NWDS. Otherwise work on eclipse (older version compatible with jdk 1.4 and deploy it. Give a shot.
