CAF Development Manual

Hi
I'm struggling to find solid development documentation on CAF, all I can seem to find is presenatation material about what features it has. It is available as part of the NW'04 Sneak preview but the only documentation in NW Dev Studio is all basic j2ee stuff. Where can I find solid CAF application development documentation.

Hi,
Can you please send the documents to me. My mail Id id [email protected]

Hi,
>> I have some portal service and how to use that in the web dynpro application.
Yes. U can use Portal service in webdynpro. Check the link given by subathra.
>> and also what is the main diff between Portal Component and web dynpro application
Portal Components are components designed to run in portal server while webdynpro application can run in J2EE WebAS.
>> do we required portal to run web dynpro application.
No for general cases. Just WebAS is sufficient to run webdynpro appl. But if u use portal service in ur webdynpro appl, then make sure both (portal service and webdynpro appl) run on same J2EE engine. That is mandatory.

Cannot find CAF Developer Role

Hi ,
When i try to access the Test Tools - Service Browser in   CAF Runtime Config . -
I get the error --
Access forbidden. You should have the CAFDeveloper role. Please log on again.
We did not have this problem when we were on
SP 9 . Now we are on SP 12.
I have added all the roles that are present for CAF including all the Admin roles.
Yet i do not finrd any role - CAF Developer.
I searched the forum - there was a solution saying to make a dummy role -i tried that but it did not work.There was a mention of SAP Note but the number was not given.
Does anyone have the idea as to how to resolve this problem and which SAP note referes to this problem.
Thanks

Thanks Jan! It solved!
I have already created another workspace after all the tests just to be sure that the problem wasn´t on NWDS.
It solved to me when I removed the reservation on SLD and recreated.
Thank you so much!

Development and administration methodology

Hi,
I am looking for information about portal development and administration methodology (How to manage the PCD, iViews, Roles, user groups, etc... ?)
Any personal experiance tips and suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Elad.

Hi Elad,
I think a good start is help.sap.com. Take a look at the following URLs.
Portal Administration Guide:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/34/76bd3b6e74d708e10000000a11402f/frameset.htm
Portal Developer Guide:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/19/4554426dd13555e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm
You will also find some stuff in the overall Development Manual:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/de/21/82a9058fa8de46b1ba7522289345b2/frameset.htm
Depending on your personal strenght you can do your portal development in e.g. HTMLB jof JAVA. You'll find some infos on that here:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/fd/01f34026d70b06e10000000a155106/frameset.htm
http://www.sapdesignguild.org/resources/htmlb_guidance/index.html
Or you can try out some Visual Composer stuff. Take a look at this URL:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/27/7c7d404d84cf62e10000000a155106/frameset.htm
If you are more into ABAP you can of course try out the latest WebDynpro for ABAP but this works only for NW 2004s. You'll find a lot of information here on SDN. Look at the current frontpage!

Oliver

Usage of manual tasks URLs in a third-party portal site

Hello experts,
a prestigious customer is evaluating Oracle BPM and one of its requirements is the capability of posting the application URLs of the developed manual task based processes (started by an initiator human task activity) on its internal, non-Oracle portal site. Effectively, they would like to replicate the items of the BPM workspace top left pane menu, so they can be launched from a separate html page the desired processes in a pop-up window fashion.
Has anybody tried this kind of setup before ? By the time that the internal Portal site has its own authentication mechanism, it would be also acceptable to produce the Oracle BPM workspace login screen and then, if user is authenticated, to display the appropriate initiator human task page.
Many thanks in advance,
Serafeim.

http://java.net/projects/oraclebpmsuite11g/downloads/directory/Samples/bpm-api-101-instance-query
InitiateCreditIncreaseRequest.jar tells you what you need to know to get started. Then, get a handle on a Task object getTaskDisplayUrl().

Work with Application Services in CAF

Hi.
I have a composite application en NWD 7.3, my project has a little custom Framework which implements basic operations (CRUD) , the methods of these operations are exposed as web services. Also the project has some external services.
My question is: Can I make an Application Service in which I could call an external service and the data obtained from this external service save them calling any web service from my custom Framework?
The Custom Framework isn't in the same CAF Development Component.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi,
Please check note 1004108.
Methods of Application and/or Entity Services (Business Objects) of CAF of SAP NetWeaver CE 7.1 cannot be exposed in document style, only RPC/literal is possible. Sorry.
It's a restriction that is planned to be solved in one of the next releases.

Data import for CAF generated tables

Hello,
I developed a CAF application with custom Web Dynpro UI. As the persistency up to now just consists of "Local persistency", all the data is stored in CAF tables on my NW2004s system. I know that I can create records "by hand" in the Service Browser. But it's time consuming and I have more than 10.000 records.
How can I import data to these tables? Are there any upload functions for csv/xls or any other file types?
Thanks and regards
Joschi

hi all,
As u all discussed about importing data into sql tables form CAF database,i understud the concept.
can you please provide me step by step approach or any document to do this practically.

i want to utilise sql tables into CAF entity services and develop some functionality(Using CRUD) methods.

is that correct approach..
can anyone explain the clear procedure..(or any document)
how can i achieve remote persistency of caf in case of sql server.
Thanks & Regards

Oracle Reports Developer 6i - sample data tables

I downloaded and installed all the components of Oracle Reports 6i on my PC. When I look at the Oracle Reports Developer manual (building reports.pdf) it is referring to a database tables like stocks, stock_history etc. I am trying to learn how to use the tool using this manual. Aren't the sql scripts that create those tables and load the sample data a part of the installation. Am I missing anything. I will appreciate any input. Again, I did a full install by selecting all the components and not just a typical install.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Suresh
Try locating these tables in scott schema. If you don't find it there, try locating the scripts to create this table in Oracle Database installation folder.

Can I delete or insert or copy any actions in the existing manual test script.

Hello,
I am developing manual test scripts using MTM 2013. I see while playing back there are many actions that are not required or necessary. In some cases I see that certain actions are not recorded properly as they don't execute correctly while paying back.
Is there any way I can delete particular actions or insert or copy new actions for the existing test script.

Hi SriGuda,
Please refer to this article below:

Developing BB OS 6.0 Application explicitly on Eclipse : Encountered Error

Hi All
Backend Used: SAP
Middleware: SUP 2.0
Development IDE: Eclipse with BB plug in
Application Name: PR
Earlier I made the same application in SUP 1.5.5 with the use of DAD (Device Application Designer) and ran successfully. This application shows a list of PR and perform an operation of approval or rejection of selected PR.
In latest SUP release it abandoned the use of DAD for RBS application in BB, then i tried app developent using SUP 2.0 BB custom application development manual. I did everything like
Deployed package on SCC
Imported generated files in Eclipse
Imported 3 JAR files (referenced through another project)
Used syncprofile and syncgroup methods
Project on Eclipse (PR) resulted in different behavior, different time :
1. Ran successfuly on opening the application 3 4 times after running simulator.
2. Showed "midilet exception" while compiling the project.
3. Compiled successfully and on running the application on simulator, it shows en exception immediately after clicking the app icon - com.sybase.persistence.PersistenceException: UltraLiteJ Error[-974] : File I/O failed for 'PR1_0.ulj
I have a doubt on JAR files that we need to import, those might be made again.
Please help on this issue, or share your views
Thanks
Pankaj
