What to Use NWA For
• AdministrationManage select applicationsStart and stop selected deployed Java application
• MonitoringAvailability checkCentral reportsLogs and traces
16
Availability Check
• All systems that are monitored in the Central Monitoring System (CEN) can be observed by an availability check
• This check is realized by the agent CCMSPING, which calls the message servers of the monitored systems and sends availability data to the CEN every minute
17
Central Report
• RZ20 Web view

Software Deployment Manager (SDM)
• Used to manage and deploy Java software packages running on SAP NetWeaver systems*
SAP or third-party software components, SAP Business Suite business packages, patches, systems changes, etc.These packages are really “zip” files in the following formats:
.EAR, .RAR, .SDA, or .SCA files • Code can be deployed again if it fails to deploy, and it
can also be un-deployed• The SDM graphical interface can be accessed directly or
from a remote system
* SDM also deploys code from NWDI and NWDS
34

Java Support Package Manager (JSPM)
• Java Support Package Manager can do the following:Apply Support Package StacksApply Support PackagesApply Support Packages Patches
• JSPM is integrated with the SAP NetWeaver Development Infrastructure (NWDI)
JSPM detects SAP software components that have been modified and allows you to apply support packages to them

NWDI (Formerly the JDI)
• SAP NetWeaver Java Development Infrastructure (JDI)Allows change management Version control and transport between systemsEP7 – tight integration with Portal objects (roles, pages, etc.)
• Used to prevent Java developers needing access to SDM user ID and password
40
NWDI vs. ABAP CMS
Source: SAP
41
NWDI Components
• The NWDI supports development with the following services:
Design Time Repository (DTR)Versioning source code management; distributed development of software in teams; transport and replication of sources
Component Build Service (CBS)Central build of the source files in the DTR based on the component model
Change Management Service (CMS)Central administration of the Java development landscape and the transports covering the entire software lifecycle
