Once you have installed the functional unit SAP NetWeaver Development Infrastructure (usage type DI, also referred to as NWDI), you have to configure it. You have to perform the configuration step only once after your initial NWDI installation.
For the initial configuration of NWDI, you have to choose the type of NWDI landscape you want to use. You can choose between an all-in-one solution (running all NWDI components on one single server) or a distributed solution running single NWDI components on different servers.
For the all-in-one solution there are two templates you can use to easily configure the system:
NWDI with CMS
Enables NWDI with DTR, CBS, and Change Management Service (CMS) as a transport system on the server where the template is executed.
NWDI with CM Services
Enables NWDI with DTR, CBS, and CM Services as a transport system on the server where the template is executed. This includes DTR as the repository for storing sources, CBS for central builds, and CM Services for the central management of standalone or enhanced Change and Transport System (CTS) integrated development configurations.
This initial setup enables the NWDI with DTR as the repository for the source, CBS for builds, and CM Services as the transport mechanism.
Having configured the NWDI, if you are working in a distributed environment you can choose to enable only the NWDI component you want to use on a dedicated server. You can do that for:
Design Time Repository (DTR)
Component Build Service (CBS)
CM Services
The System Landscape Directory (SLD) functional unit is set up prior to setting up the NWDI.
You work in the SAP NetWeaver Administrator tool. To start it in your browser go to http://<host>:<port>/nwa .
All-in-one Solutions
You have to start and follow the steps of the configuration wizard for your scenario.
NWDI with CMS
An all-in-one solution, but with CMS as the transporting system.
Automatic Steps
To configure this option:
Once they are ready, you can now use the configuration templates for creating a new application skeleton and for modifying the version of a software component. For more information about these templates, see Setting Up Tracks Using the Configuration Template .
Manual Steps
In case the automatic configuration fails, you can attempt to manually perform the configuration steps. Here you will find an overview of each configuration step required:
NWDI with CM Services
Automatic Steps
To configure this option:
Once they are ready, you can now use the configuration templates for creating a new or modifying existing software component for Java development. For more information, see Defining New Versions of Software Components .

(Optional) Distributed Solutions
For the distributed solutions, make sure you have all the NWDI components already configured. This is required so that you are able to use properly them. You have to execute each of the following templates at least once on the targeted server.
The NWDI_CMSADM user is used as the communication user, for example in CBS to read data from DTR. If the user does not exist you have to manually create it. When executing the single templates, make sure you use the same NWDI master password in all templates.
Component Build Service (CBS)
To configure the usage of CBS on a dedicated server:
Automatic Steps
NWDI using CM Services - recommended / Component Build Service (CBS) if you have configured NWDI with CM Services on the server.
NWDI using CMS / Component Build Service (CBS) if you have configured NWDI with CMS on the server.
Complete the wizard.

Design Time Repository (DTR)
To configure the usage of DTR on a dedicated server:
Automatic Steps
NWDI using CM Services - recommended / Design Time Repository (DTR) if you have configured NWDI with CM Services on the server.
NWDI using CMS / Design Time Repository (DTR) if you have configured NWDI with CMS on the server.
Complete the wizard.
