Creating Domains 

Use

This is a configuration steps that you have to take to manually configure SAP NetWeaver Development Infrastructure (NWDI), only in case the automatic configuration fails.

This procedure is relevant only in case CMS is used.

A domain is a logical way of organizing the development and transport of software components in the SAP NetWeaver Development Infrastructure (NWDI). You create domains in Change Management Service (CMS). You manage the various development states of your software in these domains.

The values for Domain ID and CMS Name are stored in System Landscape Directory (SLD). You can only specify the Domain ID and the CMS Name once. If you specified the name Tst already in another example, you first need to delete the domain data in SLD. For more information about naming the domain ID, see Naming Conventions.

Procedure

To create a domain in CMS, proceed as follows:

...

       1.      In the browser, start the initial page of the NWDI with the following URL:

http://<host>:5<instance number>00/devinf

Replace <host> with the name of the machine on which you have installed usage type DI and replace the <instance number> with the SAPSYSTEM number from AS Java.

You assigned the SAPSYSTEM number when you installed the AS Java. You can also find this number in the file system of the AS Java installation, under the following path:

usr → sap → <system name> → JC<instance number>

       2.      Choose the link to CMS. The logon screen appears. Log on as the NWDI administrator user. The Change Management Service Landscape Configurator screen appears; you are on the Domain Data tab page.

If you already created a domain and only want to download a new software component from the SLD, on the Domain Data tab page choose Update CMS.

       3.      On the Domain Data tab page, enter the following data:

Parameters for the Domain Configuration

Parameter Name	Meaning
CMS Name	Name of your Change Management Service. The CMS name is user-defined, but must be unique within your transport landscape. Tst (example)
CMS Description	Description of the CMS with which you are working. Tst (example)
CMS URL	HTTP address of the AS Java on which your CMS is installed http://<Host-Name>:<Port-Number> (The local AS Java is entered as a default.)
CMS User	User that you use to log on to the individual components (SLD, DTR, CBS) in NWDI. This user must have administration rights in all components. CMSadm (example)
CMS Password	The password that you assigned to the CMSadm user.
Transport Directory	Directory where the transports are processed within this domain. Enter a directory name that can be created by CMS. On Windows, the default is C:\usr\sap\JTrans. When you save the domain, CMS creates subdirectory JTrans. The transport directory must be accessible from all cluster nodes of the AS Java.
Domain ID	Technical key of your domain You can choose this key only when you create the domain for the first time. Once you save it, it can no longer be changed. Tst (example)
Domain Name	Name of your domain The domain name must identify the domain uniquely. Tst (example)
Domain Description	Description of the domain Tst (example)
SLD URL	HTTP address of the AS Java on which SLD is installed http://<Host-Name>:<Port-Number> (The local AS Java is entered as a default.)

       4.      Choose Save Domain. The message Your data has been saved appears.

Result

CMS generates a domain and gets the existing software components from SLD.

This action can take several minutes, but is only necessary when you create the domain for the first time. If you modify the domain parameters later, or if you update the software components, the two actions are split from each other.
