“Layered Development” 

Purpose

With the complete SAP NetWeaver Development Infrastructure (short: NWDI) you can combine several tracks and develop applications that are based on one another; you then use all functions of the NWDI.

One typical scenario is the development of complex applications where the various software components are organized in layers. All software components in a particular layer are developed in one track, and then forwarded to a follow-on track where the software components of the next layer are developed. The underlying idea is to use the quality-assured and authorized software component versions in the subsequent layer and thus to increase the stability of the development process.
