How to create DTR server, first steps...

[Former Member]

Hello,

I would like to start using the DT feature.

I see that when I create new Client at my NWDS I am being asked to enter the DRT Server URL. Does this comes with the portal installation (I am using NW 04 SP 11) or should I install it separately? Can anyone please give me "first steps" towards the DT?

10X,

Roy

Hi, Roy,

you may try to use DTR immediately after installation, on your risk - as any not tuned engine it may "surprise" you

Kind regards,

Are you talking from experience with the DTR or it's just an anecdote...

Hi Roy

If a complete SAP NW JDI is used, the DTR server is connected with other elements of SAP NW JDI

Hey,

Well, apparently SAP NW JDI is not in used in my side. How can I enable this?

Hello,

Can anyone please help me with establishing JDI?

You must deploy some files to your engine via SDM in order to use the DTR. They can be download from service marketplace. Look for something like Netweaver JDI.

Hey Rich,

I've located the files and I shall deploy them, but before I do that few questions:

1. I have NW 04 SP11, Can I deploy JDI SP12 on it or should I must be consistent and deploy JDI SP11 as well?

2. After the deployment, where can I start configuring the DTR Server? Does it come as a Service on the Web AS or there is is a standalone program that I need to activate (Like I'm activating the Admin tool or the SDM for instance)?

3. I see that the JDI contains 3 major sda's:

JDI BUILD TOOL, JDI OFFLINE and JDI ONLINE. Can you please explain me if I need all 3 and what each sda uses for?

Thank you in advance,

Roy

1) I would stay consistant and deploy the SP11.

2) You can reach the DTR by the following link.

<b> http://<host>:<port>/dtr</b>;

I am not sure if you can "configure it here or

not. There is a "plug in" of sorts in NWDS, that

turns on some functions for the DTR that you

wouldn't normally have. You can do config there.

I'll get back to you about this hack.

3) Yes, you need all three. I have no idea what each of them do, but deploy each of them.

If this answers have been helpful, please reward points accordingly. Thanks.

Ok, here is the info about the plug-in.

Using the DTR Administrator Plug-In

Use

The DTR administrator plug-in is an enhancement of the DTR Eclipse client. It allows you to comfortably execute administrative tasks in the DTR.

· Maintaining the user authorizations for DTR resources

· Integrating activities

· Displaying technical properties

· Creating workspace folders

· Creating workspaces

· Creating folders

You can execute several of these tasks, such as creating workspaces and workspace folders or integrating activities, also in the command line client of the DTR.

Prerequisites

...

· The user has administrator rights for the respective DTR server.

· The DTR administrator plug-in is installed and activated:

Maintaining the User Authorizations for DTR Resources

...

1. Open the context menu for the DTR resource (for example, in one of these views: Repository Browser, Open Activities, Activation View, Closed Activities, etc.)

2. Choose View Permissions.

The Permissions view appears.

For more information, see User Authentication and Authorization.

Integrating Activities

...

1. Open the DTR view Closed Activities.

2. Select one or more activities.

3. Open the context menu and choose Integrate to...

A dialog window appears.

4. Select the target workspaces.

5. Confirm with OK.

Displaying Technical Properties

...

1. Open the context menu for the DTR resource (for example, in one of these views: Repository Browser, Open Activities, Activation View, Closed Activities, etc.) and choose Technical Properties.

Creating Workspace Folders

...

1. Open the context menu of the DTR root node or the workspace folder node (for example, in view Repository Browser) and choose Create Workspace.

For this action, no activity is required.

Creating Workspaces

10X Rich but before I start working from the client side should I make any special configurations on the Server side? For example, see this link:

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/b0/a6de3f68d48f15e10000000a155106/frameset.htm

Is this something you made on your side or simply started working after deployment?

Actually, this is as far as I have gotton in my quest for DTR. I don't know of any other configurations which are required. I have not yet actually implemented a project in the DTR. Hopefully this week, though.

10X Rich for sharing what you know.

Anyone else might knows if I can't start using the DTR immidiately after installation or should I start configuring it according to the link I suuplied above?
