Java Web Start is it must?

[Former Member]

I am trying to define Business Service in PI.

While I am in PI - Tools page. I can see Integration Repository link.

If I click on the link I get pop up with repository.jnlp

I also get message saying " you need to install Java Web Start 1.4.2"

Just wanted to know,

Can I define Business System with out going to Integration Repository/ Directory?

OR.

Should I install Java Web Start 1.4.2 and then go to Integration Repository.

I am new to PI.

I am trying to configure PI content delivered by SAP, although I am not building any custom interfaces.

Any help is highly appreciated.

Yes, it is a must. Your standard content related scenario still needs some configuration which can't be done without entering IR/ID. So go for it.
