Callable object "input" is missing

Question

Hi,
I am using some guides to learn to use block in Composite Application Framework.
I have a SAP Portal 2004s SP10.
I am using some guides I found on CAF Tutorial Center, in particular “Designing a Block” and “Using Parallel Dynamic Block and Dynamic User Assignment”.
Quite often in those guides it is asked to use a callable object called “Input” under the type “Data Forms”, but in my portal there is nothing with this name, the more similar is a callable object called “Data input form”, but it is no possible to insert input in it, so I cannot complete the tutorial.
Someone can help me, telling me if there is an alternative valid callable object, or if I have to install some other component?
Thank you

Hi,
Most probably you're using an outdated documentation, as the Callable Object of type "Input" has been removed from recent releases.
Regarding the issue, you can most probably use Data Input Form or Web Dynpro Form instead of "Input" in this case.
OR
you can use Visual Composer to create the UI and use CO of type "Portal iView or Page" to integrate it into a Process.
You can find more information on Visual Composer here: https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/visualcomposer
Hope this helps,
