ABAP Webdynpro portal integration

Hi everyone,
I created an ABAP WebDynpro Application, and now I'd like to integrate it into our company ESS portal.
How can I do this? I search the SDN, and the Internet for documentation and already done some parts:
1. SPRO -> Created the Rersource, Service, and assigned the service to a subarea
2. Portal Content administrator-> Created the iView for the ABAp Webdynpro application
But still, I can't even see the link in the portal to my new WDP application..... Can you please tell me what is missing?
Thanks.
N.G.

Hi,
When you have created the the WD ABAP iView you must have placed this in a page in a workset in a role.
You have to provide the navigation path for your iview link.
please see this link

Webdynpro for ABAP and Portal Integration

Hi Experts,
we created a WebDynpro for ABAP application for portal. The application will modify/update few fields in backend sap HR table PA0006 (infotype 6) . The end user (portal user) should be able to update his data in backend with the iview created on this application.
I have below two questions in my mind.
1. Do we need portal eventing for this? It's a single iview in portal which will fetch and update his data through this WebDynpro for ABAP application.
2. It is for 10 countries of almost 1000 users (with same userid in portal and backend). How can I make sure that the enduser updates and fetch his records only. The SSO is already set up between Portal and Sap ECC system. Do I need to again pass the enduser portal id to the sap in coding to fetch and update the data or sso will take care of itself.
Thanks
Ajay

1. Do we need portal eventing for this? It's a single iview in portal which will fetch and update his data through this WebDynpro for ABAP application.
Answer: If you use, for exemple ITS to access this Webdympro, you will not need any action on portal for sure. Actually you will just need actions on portal, if you want to make some customization on portal side. If you want just show the Webdympro how it is, your action are all on backend..

If you access via ITS, te custome will acess the backend with the user you have set on the SSO or user-mapping. The portal there is nothing to do in this regards, you must just take care of this on backend.
Please evaluating the answer you are contributing for the SDN keep growing.

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.

ABAP webdynpro app not redirecting using Outbound plug in portal

Scenario-
There is one Abap webdynpro application APP1 calling another abap webdynpro component Comp 2 through outbound plug on a button click. This is working fine if service is tested independantly.
SAP ECC system is having a webispatcher and the application should be accessed using webdipatcher only i.e. ECC should not be called directly.
SSL has been configured b/w ECC and webdipatcher.
The Abap webdynpro application APP1 is integrated into portal using Abap webdynpro iview.
Setting in Portal system are reffering to Webdipatcher for ECC system instead of ECC system directly.
Issue-
App1 is loading successfully into portal and all the data is coming properly but when trying to navigate to second component on button click it is not navigating. iview is getting refreshed but not redirecting to required component and is still on the same application.
Please suggest the reasons and solutions if anyone has clue about it.

Deepak

Follow-up webdynpro for abap using portal theme nw2004s, sp12

Hello,
I wanted to get a follow up to this thread,
Re: webdynpro for abap using portal theme nw2004s, sp12
We are having a problem with the way reports developed in Web Dynpro for ABAP displayed in the portal (the pop-ups and dropdowns look out of wack). The issue appears when we wrap the reports into portal themes (either standard or custom). As per the thread (the link for which I posted above), the suggestion was to apply WDFORCEEXTERNALSTYLESHEET parameter to the WDP, however our system doesn't have this parameter in the system, but it seems like I can create my own parameter. Can some on give me all of the properties assigned to WDFORCEEXTERNALSTYLESHEET in table WDY_APP_PROP_DEF.
Thank you

Hi Brad, I was trying to apply the note 1033496 but our ABAP servers does not have the WDFORCEEXTERNALSTYLESHEET parameter available in WDY_APP_PROP_DEF table. All other notes are not applicable to our issue.
The portal is NW2004s SP12, the ABAP server is NW2004 SP11
Regards.

How to create an iview for ABAP Webdynpro Application in Portal?

HI,
I am Webdynpro Java webdynpro developer.
I want to create an IVIEW for an ABAP Webdynpro application in the enterprise portal.

The process is almost exactly the same as creating a Web Dynpro Java iView. You simply chose the ABAP instead of the Java radio button when you reach that step in the Web Dynpro iView creation process. There is a video on the topic here:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/media/uuid/eae111e7-0b01-0010-6cb7-e0dd2bfbfa7a

Adobe Form integration from java webdynpro to ABAP webdynpros

Developed an Interactive Forms in Web Dynpro for Java. I am trying to find a way to integrate this into ABAP webdynpros. Is it possible to do this. I found this article and it looks like it supports this.
Before the introduction of the XML-based interface, an ABAP Dictionary-based interface was created for a form during integration of the same. Such an interface, however, was not easily linked to the context of a Web Dynpro component. All the forms created from within the Web Dynpro context are not automatically equipped with an XML-based interface. In certain situations, however, it can be necessary to integrate an old form with a function module-based interface into a Web Dynpro application. The Web Dynpro runtime makes it possible, in principle, to display or print such a form within a Web Dynpro
application. In special cases, it is even possible to integrate a form of this type in an interactive mode
Any help on this is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi there
Not sure if you mean converting an Interactive form built for WD JAVA into a WD ABAP application
or just using Interactive forms in general with WD ABAP - certainly this it is possible to use Interactive
Forms in general with WD ABAP as HCM Processes and Forms is WD ABAP based and uses Adobe interactive forms
Perhaps the following articles will be of use

Under "SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe"

Webdynpro for abap using portal theme nw2004s, sp12

Hello,
we use on instance 03 portal on netweaver2004s, sp12, which calls webdynpros with iview for abap on intstance 02, where ist netweaver 2004s sp12, abap stack.
The problem is that the webdynpro is no more rendered with portaltheme. In the prevoius version of abap (netweaver2004s sp9) it was rendered with the portal theme.
Abap- and portal-server are in the same domain.
Where is the solution?
Best regards
Oliver Prodinger

Hello Brad,
SAP-Note 1033496 is the solution.
The problem was, that I have added the parameter WDFORCEEXTERNALSTYLESHEET falsely in iview-configuration and not as parameter to webdynpro.
Remarkable is, that portal and webdynpro-abap-backend have the same neteweaver2004s, sp12.
Best regards

Using customize portal theme for abap webdynpro.

Dear all,
I have a customized portal theme where we used different color for the portal. When I create a abap webdynpro application for a workflow task (the application will launch when user click on the item in the UWL). When the application launch, it does not use the customized portal theme instead it just use the standard theme.
Anyone knows where can I configure it?
Thanks
Regards
Bryan

Hi Brian,
You can change the color of a table only if u have the Textview as UI element for cell.
You can change the semantic color property of textview.
Please check this.
I would suggest you to use ALV instead of Table as you can change its colors easily by using functions like SET_DESIGN
GET_DESIGN of IF_SALV_WD_TABLE_SETTINGS.
I hope it helps.
Please revert back with issues.

Need to open an ABAP WebDynpro application from Portal UWL work item

Hi All
I need some suggessions on how to navigate to an ABAP WebDynpo application iview from a mail(Work Item) in portal UWL.
Requirement in detail:
Agreements will be created from portal( Agreement Creation Application is developed in ABAP webDynpro and iview has been created with in the portal for this WD application). as and when the agreement is created a mail (ECC Workitem) should trigger to the approver, who has access to portal and check the mail(Work Item) from the portal UWL.
The mail body should consist the link to the Agreement created in portal ( Link to navigate to the Agreement Creation ivew).
So, the main requirement is user should navigate to the Agreement creation iview when he open the mail from UWL.
Mail can be sent from ECC by using ABAP Function modules or by creating a workflow
Please advice me on how can we achieve this requirement.
Thanks & regards

Hi,
You can call the iView directly by using NavigationTarget..
http://myServer:50000/irj/portal?
NavigationTarget=ROLES://portal_content/myFolder/myRole/myIview
Plz note that the iView you are calling should be part of a Role.
And the PCD location of the iView in the Role must be given for Navigation Target.
Check this URL

Java Portal Event not received correctly by ABAP Webdynpro

We have a page that contains 2 iviews.
iView 1 contains the MSS Employee Search that raises portal event:
Namespace: "urn:com.sap.mss.employeesearch"
Name: "selection_changed"
The second iview contains an ABAP Webdynpro program that subscribes to the Portal event.
The issue is that the event in the ABAP webdynpro is not being triggered. It does get triggered if we first fire the event from the Java program, unsubscribe the event in the ABAP program them subscribe to the event in the ABAP program. The event gets triggered at this time and the parameter can be retrieved.
If the event is fired a second time, nothing happens in the ABAP program.
The abap program works fine when another abap program triggers the same portal event.
Also, the portal event is being picked up correctly by other SAP delivered JAVA programs. I just cannot get a custom ABAP Webdynpro program to work...
Any ideas, comments?
Glenn

Hi Glenn,
Are you using https? Is your j2ee stack and abap stack in the same domain? In the past I have found that https can cause issues in the event communication between different applications.
Cheers,
Dion
