Organizing the Development Landscape

Use

You use the Landscape Configurator to perform the following actions:

  • Configuring a domain

  • Creating a development track

  • Creating an XI track

  • Editing a track

  • Editing dependencies between software components

  • Deleting a track

  • Connecting tracks

The transport landscape of a CMS transport infrastructure is always in a domain. This domain contains one or more tracks in which you develop software components and transport the versions of these components.

Overview of the Configuration Process for a Ready-to-Use Development Environment

To configure a complete NWDI for the development process, the following steps are required:

  1. Create a product and software component in System Landscape Directory (SLD). Define the build dependencies required for Java EE development on the following software components:

    • SAP_BUILDT

    • ENGFACADE

    For more information, see 1572743 Information published on SAP site. Note that you can perform this step using the configuration wizard. For more information, see Defining New Versions of Software Components.

  2. Include the new software component in NWDI (see Updating CMS ).

  3. Create a development track for the development of the new software.

  4. Then check the software component archives (SCAs) required for the build into the Transport Studio (see also Checking In Software Component Archives).

  5. Import these SCAs into the Development and Consolidation systems. By doing this, you provide Component Build Service (CBS) with the required build environment for central builds (see Imports).

  6. Import the development configuration in SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio and commence development.
