SAP NetWeaver is one of a cool and complete platform for large-scale enterprise backoffice. There are so many components especially in the recent version which Java development is mainstream. That's why SAP has to distribute Technology Preview to anyone interesting to learn by themselves for wide-range users, e.g., administrator, developer, manager and etc. Another benefit is to test the product world-wide as a beta test so that all testers will generate bug reports to the community.

Anyway, all previews are not the real products and there is no professional support. We have to learn how to solve issues ourselves. I just got one issue during trying test Design Time Repository for large-scale development team. The problem occurred when I tried to import development configuration in NWDS.

Import configuration failed:Could not create mountpoint for SC in compartment example.org_APPL_1: Could not create remote path /dtr/ws/Application/example.org_APPL/dev/inactive/SCs/example.org/APPL/_comp/TopLevelDCs/ (Internal Server Error).

After searching for a light at SAP Community Network, detail log is stored in defaultTrace.trc.0.log in the server. The log indicates below error message.

ERROR Processing HTTP request to servlet [DTRServlet] finished with error. The error is: javax.servlet.ServletException: [-4004] (at 124): Unknown table name:PVC_ACTVERSVIEW

So the real problem is the table PVC_ACTVERSVIEW is missing. Don't worry. It is very easy to create this table by redeploy database schema of DTR. You already have the SCA and it supposed to be deployed successfully. Anyway, it seems the deployment during installation was broken so we have to redeploy it again right now. Follow below steps.

1. Run SDM RemoteGui.
2. Log in.
3. Go to deployment tab.
4. Find sap.com~tc~dtr~dbschema.sda in root directory under SDM.
5. Adjust deployment configuration to Update deployed SDAs/SCAs that have any version.
6. Complete the wizard.

Good luck. At least it worked for me.
