h3. Configuring ESR with Composition Environment 7.1SP3
Hello Friends I am writing this Blog for the people who want to install and configure Enterprise Service Repository(ESR) with Composition Environment 7.1 SP3, if you are looking from where to get CE7.1, ESR, Adobe Interactive Forms etc , click
here. (you must have a valid SDN Id).
I was not able to find a suitable document that will help me in configuring the ESR part. I followed many pdfs, blogs etc but not able to get the perfect answer and even there are lot of questions floating on the forum regarding the setup od ESR. There are only 9 steps in which ESR can be configured. Many people have many opinion about this installation and when I tried with those unfortunately I always failed. So from deep research and going through many documents I came to certain facts that they need to be done in order to install and configure the ESR.This blog will help you in configuring the ESR part after installing the CE7.1 Application Server and ESR separately.Many times I have to format my system and I became very much pathetic. So this is the Vanilla for the ones who are going to install ESR. Follow the steps and you will come up with complete installation without any failure (All the best)
Prerequisites:
Enterprise Service Registry dump ready
Step 1. It is assumed that Composition Environment 7.1SP3 Application Server is properly installed.
Step 2. Install JDK1.5_12
Step 3. (This step is optional) Install NetWeaver Developer Studio. You will find this is the package that you have downloaded (link is give above). Navigate to CompEnvCE71_03_IM_WIN_I386_ADA (when you are installing for Windows XP SP2). Double click the sapinst.exe. Very user friendly interface is there which will help in installation.
Step 4. Creating user:
Log in to the portal by using the credentials for the hostname and the port like
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/portal*, where is the port number of your server.Create user ESRSLD<CE system name>, for me CE system name is CE1, so the complete user name is ESRSLDCE1 and assign the following roles to him.
If you don't know how to create user follow the steps:
Go to User Administration > Click on Create User.
In the Login ID give the name as* ESRSLDCE1*
Fill other mandatory fields and optional fields as per your choice.Now click on Assigned Roles tab. In the Search Criteria, choose All Data Source and in the input field next to it put SAP_XI_IR_SERV_USER click on Go, select it and click Add. Similarly to assign another role give the input as SAP_SLD_CONFIGURATOR and click Go, select it and click Add.Click on Save and Log Off from the Portal.
Step 5. Selecting config tool Template
•· Go to Start > Programs > SAP NetWeaver Composition Environment >System CE1 (CE1 is my system name so take care) > Configtool
•· Click on Yes when pop comes asking Do you want to use the default DB settings.
•· Click File > Change System Template > CE_Complete_Stack_development_full. Select the radio button Use existing custom settings and click OK.
•· Restart the server from the MMC.
Step 6. Install the Adobe Interactive Forms that you have downloaded from the link given above.
Navigate to NW_CE_ADOBE_71SR3CE71_03_IM_WIN_I386_ADA and double click the sapinst.exe. This will install Adobe Interactive Forms.You can also install SAP Adobe Life Cycle Designer 7.1 this time only. Navigate to NW_CE_ADOBE_71SR3SAP Adobe Life Cycle Designer 7.1 SapAld71_1-20001093.exe, double click it. But before this you must have SAP GUI 7.10 installed on the machine.
Step 7. Restart the server
Step 8. Log in to NetWeaver Administartion. Type the URL
Go to Configuration Management > Scenarios > Configuration Wizard. You will find 5 tasks here and the status is Initial.·
Click on Initial setup of functional unit SLD and click Start. Choose Typical as Selection of the Configuration Mode. Follow the user interface and give the required password when asked. I chose Setup a New Local SLD Server. It will be installed successfully and you will see that the status changes to Finished Successfully. Click on Return to Task List
•· Restart the server.
•· Click on Initial setup of functional unit of ADS and click Start. Chose Typical and give the password as required. It will be installed successfully and you will see that the status changes to Finished Successfully. Click on Return to Task List.
•· Click on Configuration of Service Registry Webservice Destination and click Start. Give the password as required. It will be installed successfully and you will see that the status changes to Finished Successfully. Click on Return to Task List.
•· Click on Configuration of ESR in CE and click Start. If any error comes click the Skip button (for me it happened on one machine but on other it was done without any error. Even after clicking the Skip button the configuration was done successfully). Give the password when required. It will be installed successfully and you will see that the status changes to Finished Successfully.By this you have successfully configured the components.
Step 9. Log in to Portal, type this URL:
