CAF GP documentation

Hello
Is there a documentation of CAF GP Design Tool?
I know
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/fb/5e6f4169e25858e10000000a1550b0/content.htm
and
SAP Composite Application Framework - CAF Tutorial Center [original link is broken]
But unfortunatelly it doesn't explain all features of GP Design Tool. I need <b>full </b> reference documentation and not thousands of simple scenarios.

Try this link instead http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/c7/984942da51690de10000000a155106/frameset.htm . It will looks similar to the link you provided from help.sap.com but if you click on Core Development tasks for example. You'll see more content from the link I provide you. Your link probably points to outdated content.

Hi Vijay,
Apart from my above reply, you can understand CAF in detail by using the information in the following links:
First of all, see the following thread, see the answer by shen peng in the end, explained CAF in very simple terms:

Guided Procedure Design Time

Dear All,
I am using NWDS 7.0.10. Is GP design time a part of NWDS, or is it to be installed separately? I would be thankful for suggestions for a GP tutorial for a complete beginner.
Regards,
Prosenjit.

Hi Prosenjit,
Guided procedures is not a part of NWDS. It is a part of the netweaver portal. You need a login to the portal and then this login(user) must have the role GP assigned to it. Then only it is possible to view the role Guided Procedures. The guided procedures have the worksets Runtime, DesignTime, Templates and administration etc.. Using design time we can create Callable object, Action, Block and Process. Design time provides a set of tools for modeling business workflows. Runtime is useful for executing the processes. Start working on the tutorials available in the help.sap. Guided procedures is similar to workflows. Here is the link for reference.

Hi Chandan,
Can you do person.getRelatedModelObjects() and get the contact object, to check whether it is null, also check in the CAF DB whether the data you entered is present.
I am not sure the code is actually adding the contact model object to person.
Go thru this SDN Blog on usage of the CMI API's, there is a link for CMI documentation in it which might help you get the right code for adding the contact object.

CAF DB Update for CAF Entity Service from Web Dynpro

Hi all,
I have created an entity service in CAF called Contacts which contains the following attributes.
phoneNo
cellNo
emailID.
Another entity service called "Person" is created. This contains the following attributes.
personId
personName
personAddr
contactsRef. (Cardinality -> 0..n , Relational Type -> Composition)
That means Contacts entity service is used within Person entity service. Now it is working fine within CAF service browser. Now the Web Dynpro DC of CAF application is used within another custom Web Dynpro DC project. I want to store data from Web Dynpro.
Within the context of component controller of Web Dynpro the structure is like
APerson
     |_ personId
     |_ personName
     |_ personAddr
     |_ contactsRef
                |_ phoneNo (Under contactsRef)
                |_ cellNo (Under contactsRef)
                |_ emailID (Under contactsRef)
So I have written the following code within web dynpro custom method.
APerson person = PersonServiceProxy.create();
java.util.List ls = new ArrayList();
for(int i=0; i<4;i++)
AContacts contact = ContactsServiceProxy.create();
contact.setCellNo("9092130156");
contact.setEmailID("[email protected]");
contact.setPhoneNo("432258");
contact.getAspect().sendChanges();
ls.add(contact);
person.setRelatedModelObjects("contactsRef",ls);
person.setPersonID("9999");
person.setPersonName("xyz");
person.setPersonAddr("ABC, KOL");
wdContext.nodeAPerson().bind(person);
person.getAspect().sendChanges();
CAFServiceFactory.getServiceFacade(idendityDefinition.class);
After saving the data from Web Dynpro I am trying to test it from CAF service browser. But I am getting only the parent row. I mean only the value of personId, personName and personAddr fields which I have stored from Web Dynpro. But no value is coming within the table for Contacts entity service for composition relation.
Could anybody help me how can I solve my problem?
Thanks & Regards
Chandan

Illegal dependency access list does not allow use of caf/eu/gp/api

I am using NWDS 2004s and working with GP implementation.
I am also able to see the development components as caf/eu/gp/api and sap.com/caf/gp/api/wd after copying the required files.
But while selecting caf/eu/gp/api i am getting following exception
Illegal dependency access list does not allow use of caf/eu/gp/api
Please suggest if you have any idea regarding this.

Satya

Hi Satyabrata,
Are you using NWDI for development, or local development?
I had the same problem when using local development components. I read somewhere in the documentation that for this you have to use the NWDI.
Now I am using NWDI and this is working correctly.

Using document attribute of caf in web dynpro

Hie Experts,
could somebody give me some information how to use the document attribute of caf in my web dynpro model?
I have created some application and entity services with simple attributes and document attributes.
I imported the model into the corresponding web dynpro project and I am using them with the generated proxy classes. It's working fine, but I don't know how to use the document attribute.
If I want to attach a document to an entity service, do I have to upload the file an fill the fields of document node or is there any operation in a proxy class where I can pass an InputStream and it is handled automatically?
Best regards
Manuel

Vitaliano,
You make a very good point. And it is probably the way that we will go. However, my task is to evaluate Web Dynpro and Visual Composer for our needs. Especially since the graphing capabilities in Web App Designer are limited for our needs. We will, at some point, have a need to combine warehoused information in BI with real-time data in R/3. I'm anticipating that this is where Web Dynpro will be useful for us. Therefore, my questions as stated regarding Web Dynpro. I just find it strange that none of the SAP documentation elaborates on the topics that I am concerned with, even though tantalizing capability summaries are dangled throughout.
Thank you.

Thak you for your help
Jozef

Hi Josef,
sounds to me like you don't have the CAF installed at runtime. Can you verify this first, please?
To find it out, you can use the NetWeaver Administrator tool and have a look if "cafruntimeear" and/or "cafcoreear" are there. Follow the instructions of [this|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwce10/helpdata/en/45/1e7eb303577524e10000000a114a6b/frameset.htm] page on how to do that.
Hope that helps!

CAF CORE COLLECTION_ASPECT_KEY error

I have a simple entity "Approver" with attribute functions (string) and contacts (String), cardinality 0:n for both.
I build UI object based on Object Editor pattern for this Approver Entity service. Also build the UI object based on Relationship Tab patteren for the Approver Functions and Contacts (attributes).
When I test the UI (Object editor pattern based) for entity service. It let me add the record to functions and contacts tab, but when clicked on save returns following error.
Key (or KeyList) [localKey@11e75a9] is no Key (KeyList) of type COLLECTION_ASPECT_KEY_Approver
At one point this was working fine. I tried to recreate the Entity Service, UI pattern objects and now both the functions and contact tabs not working. Can not save the records added in those tabs.
Do I need to do any coding in Entity Service? Is there a documentation that I refer to resolve this error?
SAP has developed CAF-CORE technology, I guess it will be nice if they can really put out good documentation and tutorials with complex examples.
Thanks

Hi ANdre,
I have one entity "Approver"
with following attributes
Attribute Name            Type      Cardinality
id                     String      0..1
name                   String      0..1
functions              String      1..n
hrContacts             String      1..n
I would have idealy like to have recusrive relationship, because User or employee plays different roles, like, assistant, hrContact, approver, supervisor. Employee could be associated with multiple functions. To keep the things simple I am having the functions and hrContacts as field on the entity, idealy would have like to have, reference to another entity.
I guess the problem is with automatic code generated for Entity service and UI patteren. It is expecting something at some place and that's not well documented.
I have another Entity service with similar structure for Vendor entity and all the UI pattern work fine, that including Object Editor and Relationship tab.
Thanks

Application in CAF

Hi Experts,
I am new to this CAF. I have a requirement of using CAF in my project. What is the CAF how we can use.
In my project i have a requirement that to split the form in to diffrent parts. How i can do it and how the data should be maintained.Plz guide me regarding this.We are using Webdynpro's.
Thanks,

Hi Vijay,
For clarity you can design the form to be divided into different sections like personal details, educational qualifications, etc. Now whether you'll physically separate the data in the form at the approval levels depends on whether the same person(approver) should check all the details or need to see all the details. If all the approvers need to see all the details the student fill up in form then keep it as a single form data at the approval steps as well. Otherwise uing parameter mapping you can separate the data into multiple forms and then assign those to different actions(approval steps). If you know the number of approvers at design time and if the approval steps are fixed then you can use sequential blocks and under that assign the approval actions. Otherwise if the number of approval steps are not fixed or you don't know it at design time then you can use per-conditional loop block/post-conditional loop block (if the approval steps are sequential) or parallel block/parallel dynamic block if the approval steps are simultaneous.
You can get lots of documentation and tutorials on each one of these in the CAF Tutorial Center @ SDN.
Thanks,
Dipankar

CAF 7.1 and JUnit

Hello Kollegues,
I am searching fort an ability to run JUnit tests with the CAF 7.1 projects. I use RFC external services and would like to cover the compositions of them with automatic unit tests which should run locally (not on server). Unfortunately SAP does not provide any documentation about that. All you can find about JUnit enablement is very old and not really applicable for that case. What is really needed is an ability to mock the calls for getting JCo clients.
I canu2019t imagine that CAF services cannot be tested automatically!
I appreciate your hints!
Dimitri

Hi Dimitri,
Unfortunately, not only the JCo clients need to be mocked. All mappings between the RFC function and the Application Service method are described in the model and are executed at runtime.
At the moment the easiest way to automatically test external services composition is to write JUnit tests that call the corresponding CAF services at runtime.
One more idea is to override the Application Service method that calls the external service and mock the call and the mappings. You can do this in the "*Impl" file for the service.
Please let me know if you need more information for some of the solutions above.
Bets Regards,
Tsvetan

Why Do The Latest Versions Of Soundtrack and Soundtrack Pro Use .caf Files?

About 3 years ago Soundtrack and Soundtrack Pro started using .caf files instead of .aif ones.
The .caf files appear to take up more space than .aif and of course need rendering before they can be used in FCE/FCP.
So what is the logic behind their use?
I would add that I have skimmed through several articles which claim they have advantages ..... which I can't understand.
I only know that when used normally in FCE/FCP they seem to me a backward step, requiring rendering - almost like using .mp3 but without the space-saving features.

Here's a link from Apple:
http://developer.apple.com/DOCUMENTATION/MusicAudio/Reference/CAFSpec/CAFoverview/CAFoverview.html
It touts "unrestricted file size" as one advantage of CAFs. Has any of us ever exceeded the supposed 4GB limit of AIF files?? This is from the page linked above:
"Whereas AIFF, AIFF-C, and WAV files are limited in size to 4 gigabytes, which might represent as little as 15 minutes of audio, CAF files use 64-bit file offsets, eliminating practical limits. A standard CAF file can hold audio data with a playback duration of hundreds of years."
