1. Introduction

PI supports 3 types of perspectives in NWDS, These perspective try to provide one single place to handle PI development, configuration, monitoring and administration.

1. SAP Process Integration Administration perspective - Perspective is customized for administrative activities

2. SAP Process Integration Designer perspective - Perspective will be used for designing PI objects

3. SAP Process Integration Runtime perspective - This perspective has PI runtime explorer, Value mapping and Alert rules views.

PI runtime explorer enables us to do message monitoring and channel monitoring right from NWDS.

2. Connection to ESR from NWDS:

Launch NWDS

Select the work space where your all developed objects will store windows - preferences

After Launching NWDS, Open the ESR perspective -> webservices-> Enterprise service browser

We need to give the connection parameters as mentioned in the above screen.

Note : Un check the secure connection (HTTPs), we we check we get improper connection issue .

After giving the connection parameters connect to ESR by clicking the connectivity option as mentioned in the below screen snap.

Namespace & SWCV Limitation

After connecting to ESR, we can view all objects which we developed in ESR. Limitation 1: Unable to create SWCV ,Limitation 2: Unable to create Namespace, So namespace is created in a normal way using classic swing tool (ESR)

Create a data type by opening the SWCV and namespace then right click on the Data Type and click on “New Data Type" 2.Create the element by assigning types and occurrences too and by saving it goes to change list (As mentioned below)
