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.

Hi,

Your concern is legitimate.

Basically to work with SLD you will not face any problem while creating the Business system but your main intention is to use it in configuration and that is in ID which is a client application and that needs Java Webstart to run on your local machine. Definitely you can create the Business system in SLD but to work with that one you need JavaWebstart

Java Web Start:

Using Java Web Start technology, standalone Java software applications can be deployed with a single click over the network. Java Web Start ensures the most current version of the application will be deployed, as well as the correct version of the Java Runtime Environment (JRE)

cheers,

Abhishek.
