Absolute URL IMAGE UI control in Web Dynpro ABAP fails

I would like to display a .jpg from the Internet, either using a URL or an RFC Destination as the source.
The "Web Dynpro ABAP Development in Detail" manual says that this can be done using only the Source attribute of the IMAGE UI control (see page 114) - that is,
   create an RFC Destination G-HTTP entry for the URL,
   type in that RFC Destination as $NAME$
   append any further extension of the URL as "/path in lower letters"
I can enter an RFC Destination (ex., $UBERORBS$) which points directly to a single image file via its host/path and it is displayed in SE80's Layout Preview, but nothing displays at runtime.
If I try to extend an RFC Destination's path to point to that image file (ex., $UBERORBS_BASE$/uberorbs_44pence.jpg), the image is also displayed in the Layout Preview, but not at runtime.
Is this a bug? or something wrong with our implementation? We are at SAP_BASIS 700 level 0006.
(Also, if the Source entry is not exactly correct, SE80 aborts following the entry with STRING_OFFSET_NEGATIVE.)

Here's another piece of information.
I am able to use the test app WDR_TEST_UI_ELEMENTS to display at runtime the $UBERORBS$ RFC Destination-absolute URL image.
So, does this mean that there is a critical setting within my Web Dynpro component which must be set properly to permit this?

OfficeIntegration control in Web Dynpro ABAP

Hi,
Is anyone aware of a test Web Dynpro component available in ECC6 that demonstrates this functionality? We're trying to add the control to a test component but failing to set the dataSource correctly.
Is the dataSource property meant to be a URL, physical file location or byte stream? Please advise because the doco on help.sap.com is a little sketchy.
Thanks in advance.

I am afraid that it is not possible , atleast there are no API to do that.

Web dynpro Abap generated URLs - Namespace vs Alias

Hi,
We have developped web dynpro abap applications on two systems that both have to be exposed to our external users in production. We would like to provide a unique host for the two systems by using an appliance in front dispatching the request to the correct system based on differences in URL.
As all generated URLS are in the following format:
/sap/bc/webdynpro/sap/z_test
/sap/public/bc/ur/nw7/js/domainrelax.js
/sap/public/bc/ur/nw7/js/autorelax.js
We would like to be able to modify the first tag (/sap) for something else either by renaming it or by adding some other layer in front of it in order to get:
/nwa/sap/bc/webdynpro/sap/z_test
/nwa/sap/public/bc/ur/nw7/js/domainrelax.js
/nwa/sap/public/bc/ur/nw7/js/autorelax.js
We thought we could use an external alias on one of our systems in order to change the generated url of that system but it does not work as we expected. When we call our web dynpro application using the external alias, it correctly renames the application bath but all other urls stay the same:
/nwa/sap/bc/webdynpro/sap/z_test
/sap/public/bc/ur/nw7/js/domainrelax.js
/sap/public/bc/ur/nw7/js/autorelax.js
What could we do in order to have all URLs generated by an ABAP system either renamed or prefixed by something else?
Thank you very much for your help!

Renaud

Problem with image loading in flex (with web dynpro ABAP integration)

Hi,
I am working with integration of flex and web dynpro abap. I am facing unusal problem while loading the images. I have the images in the MIME folder of web dynpro application. Since my swf file and all the images that I want to use are in the same folder(MIME), I am accessing them giving just the image name as source for the image in flex.
By this method I get the images sometimes, but not everytime. So could anyone suggest me alternative method.
Regards
Prashant Chauhan
Edited by: Prashant8809 on Jul 17, 2011 11:56 AM

Hello Prashant,
you need to mention the full path as source for the image in flex.
ex. if your WD application name is Z_TEMP and image file name in mime folder is 'image.jpg' then you need mention the source in flex as
http://servername:50001/sap/bc/webdynpro/sap/Z_TEMP/image.jpg
Hope this solves your problem.

Opening External Window in Web Dynpro ABAP with URL disabled or Hidden

Hi Experts, I have a requirement where-in we want to open the Web Dynpro ABAP application using tcode WDYID (by passing the application name and startmode), but the URL of the newly opened explorer should be disabled or hidden. To achieve the same, I have created a component (lets name it PARENT) and inside that in DOMODIFY/DOINIT method have written code to invoke the required WDA (lets name it CHILD) in external window (by using lo_window_manager->CREATE_EXTERNAL_WINDOW) and is successfully able to open the application with URL disable using different parameter of method CREATE_EXTERNAL_WINDOW. But in this case there are 2 window which opens, one is for PARENT view and other is for CHILD. Now I only want to keep the second view (CHILD) to be opened and want to close the PARENT view. When I used EXIT_PLUG to close the PARENT window, it closes both the window. Need your inputs on my approach or if you have any. Regards, Harish

Hi,
If you open the popup, it opens as Modal Window, originating from Parent window. Without external window( where you can pass has_location = abap_false ), you cannot hide the URL/Address bar.
If you want to partially hide the URL( if you dont want to show the full URL with application path), you can create an Alias for the service in SICF.
Go to SICF, and create an alias for your WDA application; say original URL: domain:port/sap/bc/webdynpro/sap/<ZAPPLICATION_NAME>
This URL you can convert( partially hide) as, domain:port/sap/<ANY_NAME>
Refer creating Alias in this help: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_sem320bw/helpdata/en/55/361a3c9c004866e10000000a11402f/content.htm

Pixel tracking in web dynpro abap

Hi,
I have a scenario where in we are tracking job applicant source. Lets say a job seeker goes to careerbuilder.com and searches for job. At that point, careerbuilder.com sets a cookie in the job seek's computer. when Job seeker clicks to appy for job that takes him to our company sap e-recruiting job application page. when job seeker finally clicks send application button from web dynpro abap, we are rendering external https url as image using rfc destination from web dynpro abap. The external https url which basically reads the cookie ithat is set by careerbuilder.com site in the client computer.
External url as rfc destination is not reading the cookie even though I have enabled cookie read option and used http1.1 in rfc destination.
does anyone have any idea how sap wda handles client cookie? how can we make a external url which renders as image can be set to no caching? any help is highly appreciated.
thanks

Attachement Details (GOS) in Web Dynpro (ABAP)

I posted this question in the Web Dynpro ABAP forum and got no response, so I'm moving it here:
We are developing a Web Dynpro application to display PO attachment details (PDF file etc).
In the corresponding R3 application, we use FMs ARCHIVE_GET_CONNECTIONS and ARCHIV_DISPLAY_LIST_2. They work perfectly.
The Web Dynpro application uses both FMs but one of them returns an error "Screen output without connection to user". This is returned from FM K_KKB_LIST_DISPLAY which is trying to popup a screen.
So we would like to know if we are going about this correctly or if we should be using different FMs.
Thanks for any insight you can provide.

EREC: theme for Web Dynpro ABAP pages (external candidate)

Hello,
I have created a custom theme in the SAP Netweaver Portal for my customer and now I have the requirement to use the same theme for my stand-alone Web Dynpro ABAP applications (pages for the external candidate). Is it possible to use the same stylesheet as in the portal, without having to recreate a theme?
I tried several options, but none of them did work:
A. Downloading the portal theme as a ZIP file and then uploading it in ERP using the report BSP_UPDATE_MIMEREPOS (after unzipping) to a location /SAP/PUBLIC/BC/UR/nw5/themes/CUSTOM_THEME. After that, I call my application with the additional URL parameter sap-wd-themeroot=/SAP/PUBLIC/BC/UR/nw5/themes/CUSTOM_THEME but it does not work (the app is displayed with the default sap_tradeshow stylesheet)
B. I also tried calling my app using the URL parameter sap-cssurl=/SAP/PUBLIC/BC/UR/nw5/themes/CUSTOM_THEME but here again, it does not work (the app is displayed with the default sap_tradeshow stylesheet)
C. Downloading the portal theme as a ZIP file and then uploading it (zipped) using the report WD_THEMES, but here I receive the error "no themes found in the ZIP file". I have the same error if I upload only the ur.zip I receive from the portal (instead of uploading the whole *.zip file)
I checked the UR versions both in portal & ERP, and we had a lower version in the portal than in the ERP, so we upgraded the portal version according to SAP note 1446099. Now we have a higher version in the portal than in the ERP. We regenrated the portal theme and downloaded it again, but with the same result.
Does anyone have an idea what could be the solution to our problem?
Thanks in advance!

I would recommend to try another way. If it is possible to access any SAP Portal from outside you can use two URL Parameters to integrate the Portal style sheets in a standalone WDA application. The parameter sap-cssurl contains the absolute URL address to the style sheet and parameter sap-cssversion the current SAP Portal style sheet version. For all external facing scenarios it is important to use the whitelist mechanism to block unknown URLs.
Example
?sap-cssurl=http://myportal.myserver.com:50000/irj/portalapps/com.sap.portal.design.urdesigndata/themes/portal/mytheme/ur/ur_ie6.css
&sap-cssversion=7.11.5.20.0
I canu2019t recommend to raise manually the version number. You will not get an consistent system this way. The meta data (project.zip) are outdated and of course you will get an outdated theme.

How to configure SSO for web dynpro ABAP (not web dynpro Java)

Hi Experts,
    I am testing SSO in IDES for web dynpro ABAP (Not for web dynpro Java / not for portal). When I am entering url of web dynpro application in web browser like internet explorer, then it should ask for user id and password first time, after login whenever user would access that url, it must not ask for user ID and password (url would be access web browser in mobile). For this I select to configure single sign-on for web dynpro ABAP. I have done below works:
1). I have created a web dynpro application having url: http://susws076.sap.swk:<port>/sap/bc/webdynpro/sap/zadb_hello_world2
2). I run TCode SICF and access service node to "Zadb_hello_world2". Double click on it, hit change. pressed "logon data" tab, select "Alternative logon
     procedure"
   Then deleted all logon procedure other than "SSO Authentication" and saved.
3). Go to "STRUST" and create certificate, choosed "Environment==> Logon Ticket" fill the required parameters and execute. It is OK (no red traffic
     signal).
4). Execute TCode "RZ10" to change profile parameter, insert new parameter (indicated by red arrow)
After all this settings I opened a browser enter above URL and hit enter but there is an error
There is no login page. It directly showed this error page. No cookies is saving.
Can anyone tell me what all the settings/configuration other than this I have to do. And is there any wrong setting done by me?
How to set the for single sign-on?
Thanks in Advance

Web Dynpro ABAP Stylesheet - Portal Integration

We have a Web Dynpro ABAP being displayed through a Portal iView. The Portal server and the Web Dynpro ABAP server are separate. Our problem is in getting the Web Dynpro ABAP to use the stylesheet of the Portal.
We can make this work by forcing an external stylesheet (via application parameters, global Dynpro settings, or passed on the end of the URL), but we have to hard-code the full URI of the Portal stylesheet. This would be very hard to manage if we hard-code every iView's CSS location (or set every individual Web Dynpro's application parameters), and we want instead for the Portal to supply whatever the user's stylesheet is dynamically.
So what we want is: if we change the Portal stylesheet, the Portal would just pass the new stylesheet URI to our ABAP Web Dynpro iViews without manual modification of the iViews.
Here is an example of what works:
http://our-abap-server.com/sap/bc/webdynpro/sap/cprojects?sap-ep-themeroot=https://our-portal-server.com/irj/portalapps/com.sap.portal.design.portaldesigndata/themes/portal/ourportalstylesheetname
Shouldn't the Portal iView automatically pass sap-cssurl or sap-ep-themeroot to Web Dynpro ABAP? We have "Supply Portal Stylesheet" checked on the iView it just doesn't pass anything to the Web Dynpro ABAP. Why wouldn't SAP pass this parameter dynamically to the Web Dynpro ABAPs? Is this a product error?
There seems to be a great deal of confusion about this on the SDN message forums... I think this may be the core issue.
We are using a 7.0 SP13 Portal with an ECC 6.0 SP12 backend.

Now that you mention it, I ran into that exact same issue -- the application parameters didn't work for hard-coding the theme. The fix ended up being the web server semicolon thing I mentioned earlier (that was why the parameter didn't make it to the backend).
The themeroot is automatically sent to the backend from the portal, so you shouldn't really have to manually send it as a parameter anyways.
I'd suggest talking to your network guys. Also this could be the result of the SP you are on (we're on 13 for the portal and the backend system -- maybe this feature doesn't work in some earlier SP's?). There are also some options to force the theme as a WD application parameter on the backend side, which you could check into. Details on those are here:
[http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/7b/fb57412df8091de10000000a155106/frameset.htm]
Also you could look at the requests being made by installing HttpAnalyzer in your browser. You can inspect "post" parameters going from the portal to the backend system. One of those posts (the first one to the backend system) should contain the parameter sap-cssurl (same kind of thing as sp-ep-themeroot). This is where our problem turned up as this parameter was not being posted.
Lastly, make sure that your frontend portal and backend portal are in the same domain. For instance:
frontend.domain.com
backend.domain.com
If your backend and frontend are in different domains it messes all kinds of things up, including stylesheets I think. If you can't get around this, then read about domain relaxing (but I highly recommend getting the domains the same).
When we started, ours were:
portal.dx.company.com
sap.company.com
This created all kinds of problems. Putting our systems in the same domain with the same protocol and fixing our little semicolon web server problem fixed basically all of our portal complaints. Up until that time, we had also had many problems with session management (backend sessions were getting stuck until the HTTP timeout).
That's all I know. Good luck.

NW 7.3 + iView from remote source wizard + R3 Web Dynpro ABAP, not working

Hi,
I think this forum is my last resort.
I'm running NetWeaver 7.3 Enterprise Portal and also have an existing ECC6 on backend.
Our ABAP Programmer has built some WD4A application on ECC, I'd like to made them available
on EP as ABAP WebDynpro iView.
From the document, I know the way to create ABAP WD iView is different since 7.3. I have to use "iView from remote source" to do it.
On EP side, I have made an system alias (test ok) for ECC, assigned permission, provide mapping id/pwd, and test.
On ABAP side, all webdynpro app are activated (T-code sicf, /sap/bc/webdynpro, /sap/public/bc/webdynpro...). I can even test WAS by bringing up browser and access some sample ABAP webdynpro .
However, I cannot success on "iView from remote source" wizard and it always show me "Nothing found. Check your search Criteria.".   Eventhough I use "*" as search criteria.
Anyone has the similar situation ? I even doubt that it is a placeholder of a feature , not working for now. Anyone made it work on NW 7.3 ?
More detail:
My System Alias for ECC:
      Application Host: myr3.mydomain.com
      SAP Client: 600
      SAP System ID:   DEV
      SAP System Number: 00
      Server Port: <leave it blank>
      System Type: SAP_R3
      Logon Method: UIDPW
      User Mapping Type: admin,user
      ICM Host: myr3.mydomain.com:8000
      ICM Protocol: http
      ICM URL prefix: <leave it blank>
      SAP Netweaver AS Description: <leave it blank>
All other fileds are leave it as default value
I also assign a group to have "read" and "user" permission to this system
Also assign Alias to the system.
I also create a user belong to the group, assign his system mapping an ECC user ID & PWD to it.
I tested the System alias, it is working (both WEB AS test, and R3 test)
Then I try to create an iView on EP, under a PCD folder , new->iview->iview from remote source. A wizard show up. Then I can select the ECC alias just created, and provide * as application search criteria, and then select "WEB DYNPRO ABAP" as the application type. Then "GO"
as I mentioned, it always show "Nothing Found. Check your search crieteria"
But I'm sure the web dynpro applications are activated on R3.
OK, that's it, please help this one. Thanks
IF YOU DID MAKE IT WORK ON YOUR NW 7.3, PLEASE DROP A LINE HERE SO I KNOW IT IS MY OWN PROBLEM !!!

Thanks for the reply,
[About Backend]
I feel confident about the backend R3 system because I can use the WAS URL to access the sample WD4A application, for example, I can bring up the wd4a application ui in my browser. It is purely browser and R3 stuff, no EP involved.
http://soeprdev.mydomain.com:8000/sap/bc/webdynpro/bobf/demo_sales_order?sap-client=600&sap-language=ZF
I also already activate all nodes and sub-nodes (in SICF Services) under /sap/bc/webdynpro as well as /sap/public/bc/webdynpro. (and some other nodes to make icon and include work)
[About the system object in EP]
I have done all kind of test on the system object (alias):
1. In EP System Administration -> Landscape Configuration, I select the system object, click "Test Connection", It shows me a Check mark, and the detail message is SOE_DEV_600 connection
2. Edit the System object, then click on "Connection Tests" page, I see two lines there, check both and click test, here is the result:
SAP Web AS Connection:
: Test Details:
The test consists of the following steps:
1. Check the validity of the system ID in the system object
2. Check if the system can be retrieved
3. Check if the system object has a valid system alias
4. Check if an SAP system is defined in the system object
5. Validate the following parameters: Web AS protocol; Web AS hostname
6. Checks if the host name of the server can be resolved.
7. Pings the Web AS Ping service (works only if the service is activated on the Web AS, and only on ABAP Web AS)
8. Check HTTP/S connectivity to the defined back-end application
Results
1. The system ID is valid
2. System retrieved successfully
3. Retrieval of the default alias was successful
4. The system object represents an SAP system
5. The following parameters are valid: ICM Protocol (http) ICM Host Name (soeprdev.mydomain.com:8000)
6. The host name (soeprdev.mydomain.com) was resolved successfully
7. The Web AS ping service http://soeprdev.mydomain.com:8000/sap/bc/ping was pinged successfully
8. An HTTP/S connection to http://soeprdev.mydomain.com:8000 was obtained successfully.
Connection Test for Connectors:
: Test Details:
The test consists of the following steps:
1. Retrieve the default alias of the system
2. Check the connection to the back-end application using the connector defined in this system object
