* Blink 182
* Obvious
*
* I saw you again
* I think you used me again
* Should we try this before
* we give up and move on
* And pretend to restore
* what we have and hold on?
*
* At times like this
* It’s Obvious
*
* I saw you again
* I know you fucked him again
* Can you comfort yourself
* with the sense of revenge?
* Are you leaving me here
* with the taste of the end?
*
* It times like this
* It’s Obvious
* At times like this
* It’s obvious
*
* I saw you again and again and again
* There’s some room to move on to move on to move on
* And I saw you again and again and again
* How do we fix this if we never had vision? (2x)

Differences between the transactions SE09 and SE10

SE09 is the transaction code for workbench organizer. Workbench organizer is the set of utilities for development change management. All Development changes are tracked via Workbench organizer.

SE10 is for Customizing organizer. Customizing organizer is the set of tools for customizing change management. All customizing changes are tracked via customizing organizer.
SE01 is the main screen of the Change and transport Organizer. From here the administrator can achieve all tasks related to transport requests - such as create, change, view logs, display client/delivery transports, etc. SE09 and SE10 can also be accessed from here. However, not all developers might be granted access to this transaction.

Basic SAP NetWeaver Installation Steps (NW 640)

1. Before that download the installation guide from the http://service.sap.com/instguides and read it properly before the installation is started.
2. Prepare the OS as described in the installation Guide.
3. Install ABAP Central Instance (CI)
4. Install Database (chose the number of parallel process at an optimal level (which can be maximum up to 8, default is 3). It depends on the system resources (processors and memory in the Server).
5. Install additional Dialog Instances ABAP
6. Client Creation (using Tx Code SCC4) (UID/Password : sap* / pass)
7. Client Copy from 000 to a new client. (There will only be 2 clients initially after a fresh installation. 066 and 000).
8. Install an Add-on Java to Central Instance (CI) to the newly created client (java has no client concept in JAVA Stack), here it will install the Central Service (CS) instance (MS, ES) and also will install Dispatcher, Server process and SDM.
9. Install Add-on Java to other ABAP Dialog Instance (It will install only Dispatcher and Server process) also note that only one Server process (server0) will created when the instance is initially installed, for scaling up a new server process (server1) can be added separately after installation.
10. Decide on the Option of User Management, it could be either centrally or distributed.
Central – can be handled in the ABAP stack. (using Tx Code SU01 / PFCG) and distributed would use Java’s User Management Stack (UME) for user management.
11. Changes to JVM parameters to the Java Stack (dispatcher, server process(es)) are made after installation. The first step in the post installation steps is to run the template Configurator. It will set the SAP recommended JVM parameters setting for Java Stack.

Template Configurator is found in the path :
(/usr/sap/SID/SYS?global/TemplateConfig/cfgtemplategui.bat) or http://hostname:javaport/nwa ->Deploy and Change.
It is done individually for each of the instances immediately after the ABAP installation.


Is it possible to add a Java Stack alone, without ABAP in a ABAP+JAVA installation scenario. ?
In an ABAP+JAVA stack combined (java add-on to ABAP stack) installation, it is not possible to install java stack (individually, without ABAP stack) in any instance or in any host. So any additional instance of Java Stack can only be installed as an add-on to a fresh ABAP stack .i.e. both have to be installed together. For scaling up java stack a further server process can be added, BUT ABAP stack alone, without JAVA Add-on, can be installed.
A new Server process can be added by Logging into “ConfigTool” "Current Instance" -> Select the Option “Server” -> “Add”


Difference in 6.40 and 7.00 installation steps.
In 7.0 we have to choose a particular installable component during initial steps based on the Client requirement (installation scenario). ie. If the client’s requirement is of installing EP, the nEP alone will be selected for installation. Since EP requires only NW Java Stack, it will install only Java Stack with EP component. Further it will combine CI and DB installation in one step, while 6.40 had two separate steps for CI and DB installation. In ABAP+JAVA Stack installation, In NW 7.0 it will automatically create three clients 000, 066 and 001 and java stack will be automatically added to 001 client. While in 6.40 ABAP will be installed first then a fresh client has to be created and then JAVA stack is installed as an add-on to the fresh client.

Kindly note that In 7.0 after installation if the Client to which Java Stack is added as an add-on, has to be changed, then it is possible by making a few changes. The changes can be made by using Visual Administrator to change the Client Number.

How to add a new Server Process to a Java Instance

A server process is added to scale up your Java Instance. In an ABAP+JAVA stack combined (java add-on to ABAP stack) installation, it is not possible to install java stack (individually, without ABAP stack) in any instance or in any host. So any additional instance of Java Stack can only be installed as an add-on to a fresh ABAP stack .i.e. both have to be installed together. For scaling up java stack a further server process can be added, BUT ABAP stack alone, without JAVA Add-on, can be installed.

Start the SAP‘s “Config Tool”
Identify the instance where you have to add Current Instance -> Select the Option “Server” -> “Add”
