How to find and install the Portal Development Kit (PDK) for SAP Enterprise

[Former Member]

Hi ,

I have the following question regarding thePortal Development Kit (PDK) for SAP Enterprise Portal 6.0. We have Enterprise Portal 6.0 up and running.

1> How Do I find whether we already have this inported in the EP environment: I have admin and super admin role and trying to find '*java' in the Role. But didn't find one. Does that mean we don't have this imported already?

2> I have tried to Find out the PDK( which is also a Business Content) in SDN in the Portal Business content link (https://www.sdn.sap.com/sdn/contentportfolio.sdn) , but haven't found. Where from I download this business content?

3> What are the special steps that need to be taken to import this and make it working?

Thanks

Hi Arunabha,

1. Note that the search is case sensitive. Therefore you should search for java and Java.

2. Download from: https://www.sdn.sap.com/sdn/downloaditem.sdn?res=/html/PDK60_download.htm

3. Deploy with SDM: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/22/a7663bb3808c1fe10000000a114084/content.htm

Hope that helps,

Hi Yoav,

Thanks for your reply.

However, I need ,more specific answer.

1> I have serached the role with 'java' as well as 'Java' and FOUND that Java developer role dosen't exists. Does that mean that the PDK is not installed? What other method I can use to see whether the PDK is installed or not?

2> Thanks for the PDK link for download, However when I search in the Business Package portfolio link in the SDN, why there is no entry for thr work 'PDK'. How should I search the content portfolio in SDN...

Thanks

Hi Arun,

1. The exact role id is "com.sap.pct.pdk.JavaDeveloper".

Therefore, a search for "Java" should find it.

If it doesn't exist, it means PDK is not intalled.

2. I dunno. Perhaps it's not considered a Business Package.

Hope that helps,

Yoav.
