Changing Business Package ( I award good points )

If for example I import a business package into portal and I try to assign roles defined in the portal to the roles in the business package what are the considerations.Also pls let me know if can I change any particular object in the standard business package e.g. changing Iview properties.
Is it recomended or I need to always make a Delta Link/copy of the object in question and do the changes.
Thanks.
Nirmal

Nirmal,
I don't think adding your roles to business package roles should cause you any problems provided you setup the Permissions on the content itself properly, e.g. setting your existing content up with Permissions allowing the business package roles to access them.
If you are going to change anything on the business package content then I would create a delta-linked copy in a new folder of the same name as the original, but inder your content folders, otherwise when u upgrade or patch the new business package content will probably overwrite your changes. In any case it wont be immediately apparent that you have made changes to the standard content or what those changes are if you edit the original content.
Cheers,
Steve

EHP 2 - Portal relevant Business Packages

Hi there,
is there a way to got the (new/changed) Business Packages exactly for SAP NW Portal 7.0 EHP 2? I could find https://websmp203.sap-ag.de/erp-ehp, but nothing specially for the Portal.
Thanks for help.
Regards,

This depends on what business packages you need (which backend systems you want to connect) and which ones you have installed.
The best way to find out is to create a MOPZ task in the SolMan, it will show you what will be updated.

ESS Business Packages Migration from Ehp3 to Ehp4 with Custom Changes

Hello All,
We are using ECC 6.0 With Ehp3 and We have the following versions of ESS and MSS Business Packages Installed.
SAP_ESS 603 SP4
SAP_MSS 600 SP15
We have NWDI server also installed in this and made some Customizations in ESS Webdynpro Java based applications.
We have freshly installed a new portal development server with Netweaver 7.0 Ehp1 to cleanup unneccessary stuffs in our existing development portal server and pointed to the upgraded backend ECC 6.0 Ehp4.
The NWDI also installed freshly in the new server.
While upgrading, following Business Packages versions are recommended by SAP.
SAP_ESS 603 SP6
MSS 600 SP17
PCUI_GP 603 Sp 06
Now in the New portal server every applications works fine as delivered Out of the box and we are missing all the Webdynpro Java customizations which we have made as part of the Ehp3 based ESS Implementation.
We are in the process of Creating the New track in the New NW 7.0 Ehp1 server and import the .SCA files.
My Question is how can we get the automatic migration process, so that the Webdynpro Java Customizations which we have done in the Previous track in Ehp3 with different ESS SP level can be carry forwarded to our New NWDI Server.
How can we go ahead?. We are thinking of the following options and your suggestions are highly appreciated.
1. Import the .SCA files related to Ehp4 and do the Webdynpro Java changes manually again in the DCs of Newly created track    in the New NWDI server.
2. Is there a way to migrate a Track from One Server to another NWDI server with the Custom changes carry forwarded.
What are all the possible ways to achieve track migration to the new server with custom changes carry forwarded.
Appreciate your valuable inputs in this.
Thanks and Regards,
Sekar

Hi Sekar,
There is a cook book provided by SAP as attachment of note 872892. you can follow the process to have your custom DC's migrated to new Support pack of ESS/MSS.

Changing in standard Business Package

Hi
I need to change the web dynpro component supplied in stanadard business package. These web dynpro component are called from portal Iviews.
Should i make the Z copy of the webdynpro or starightway change to standard business package.
How will it effect during upgrade or modification by SAP
Best Regards
Naresh

Hi Naresh,
when you create a z copy you must change the business package at least at the point where the WD application is called. So there are two points where SAP modifications will impact your changes.
My suggestion: if you can't avoid using the portal at all, avoid at least making modifications.
In the backend use the enhancement framework in order to be independent of SAP modifications. I put an example in the WD4A book, that shows how to work with the enhancement framework.
regards, Ulli

Business package style sheet change

How does one go about pointing a business package iView to a different stylesheet. For example the Universal Worklist iView that comes with the
com.sapportals.pct.emp.universalworklist
business package points to sap_mango_polarwind style. We need to change that to a custom style sheet that we have created.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
Sunil

Hi Oliver,
Thanks for the reply.
The style we wish to change for the moment is the KM favorites iView that comes within the business package com.sapportals.km.favorites. I tried to download the KM.par file in eclipse but was unsuccessful.
I know how to change the style throughout the portal. But the business package KM. favorites iView references the sap_mango_polarwind style only.
This reference is what we wish to change.
Many thanks.

Change iviews installed from a business package

Hi experts,
I'm working on EP 2004s and I would like to know if there is a way to change iviews installed in the portal from a business package using Visual Composer. Can I copy them into my own created package in VC?
Thanks
Panos

Hi,
Usually Business Package iviews - especially the older ones - aren't based on Visual composer models but rather older IView technology. Therefore, it should be impossible to change them in VC.
I've heard that SAP may be considering releasing business packages (XSS?) as VC models but never heard any confirmation regrading this. Probbaly based on the support-related questions. I once blogged on this <a href="/people/community.user/blog/2007/01/30/enterprise-soa-explorations-fragments.

Change ESS Business Package

Hi
I want to change the ESS 6.0 business package in NWDS. We do not hve the NWDI. We have portal 7.0. How can I modify the SCA file in NWDS, if it is possible.
Regards

Prince,
Without NWDI you cannot modify the Webdynpro Java code for ESS.....you can rather go for some Personalization changes....on portal.....or do some config. in R/3 ....depends on your requirements....

Impact on changing ECC client on the working of ESS business package in EP

Dear Experts,
We had ESS business package working fine in our EP 7.0 which connected to client 100 of ECC 6.0.
Now we changed to client 700 in ECC 6.0.
Now all is working OK except for the Personal Data piece (address,bank etc).
The first screen shows up OK but when we review it we get the error :
Access via NULL object reference not possible.,error Key:RFC_ERROR_SYSTEM_FAILURE
The user is setup the same way as that in ECC 100.
The JCO is working correctly.Get successful message when we click "TEST".
I have used USER/PWD in both meta data and application data (though it is said to use Ticket and User/Pwd. It worked with ECC Client 100.)
Appreciate any inputs
Thanks.

Change in WD ABAP application available in business package

Hi Experts,
I am working on xRPM 4.5 business package. Now I need to modify WD ABAP Application. For this, I went to property of iview for find the application name. Also I found application name by right click on WD ABAP iview. I went to backend and looked for application ,after finding it tested it and saw the preview. It was totally diffrent preview what I was seeing in portal screen.
Again I checked several other iview and found that those were also using same WD ABAP application and preview is same like earlier one.but in portal all are showing different screen.
Is it beacause of configuration? if yes, how can I check it.
How can I debug that application directly from portal?
Thanks in advance

Upgrade a Business package that is customized.

Hi Gurus,
We have implemented the CPRXRPM_UI and Business Package for Project, Portfolio Management and Design Collaboration (PPMDC) on SAP Netweaver Portal.
We copied some of the iviews and pages that we wanted, into our own custom roles.
Now, is it a good practice to do this? And also, what happens when we upgrade? Does SAP upgrade its iviews and pages assigned to our custom roles too? If yes, is there any naming conventions that we need to follow? If we dont want the custom views to be upgraded, can we change the namespace to our own domain names?
And also since these iviews point to WD applications in CPRXRPM_UI, would their functionality change depending upon changes to the upgraded code?
Please advise.
What happens in other business packages upgrades? I did look around, but couldnt get the right 'search' query
Thanks in advance.
Anjana

Hi,
Well, it depends on the method you used to copy the content (iViews, Pages, Roles...). If you copied the content by delta link, your content will be upgraded but if you copied (standard copy) it then it won't.
EDIT : here's a quote from the documentation :
In both scenarios the advantages of the delta link method become apparent:
If the source object is reimported into the portal at a later time with changes to its contents,
these changes appear automatically in all the derived target objects.

Best Practice in using Business Packages

Hi All,
Are there any Best Practices in the use of Business Package content? Do you assign the Roles delivered by the Business Package and do you make changes to the original iViews?
or
Do you copy the content delivered in the Business Package to a new folder and work with there?
These questions are purely at the configuration level and not at the Java coding level. For instance if I want to turn of the iView Tray, or change a parameter such as height, or even remove an iView from a page or Role.
I would like to know the various approaches the SDN community uses and the different challenges and benefits that result in each approach.
Look forward to hearing from you all
Paul

Hi Paul,
I also build my own roles. The only time I might use the standard roles is for demo purposes early in a project. You will find that in some cases the business packages like MSS don't always even include standard roles, so you have no choice but to build.
I never change any of the standard iViews/Pages/Worksets - ever.
The most contentious issue seems to be whether to do a full or delta link copy of the standard objects. I tend to initially do a full copy of the objects into a custom folder set in the PCD and modify those. Then I only use delta links from Page to iViews where I need the option of setting different properties for the same iView if it appears in multiple pages. Delta links can be a bit flakey at times, so I tend to only use them where I have to. I suspect that I may get to a point where I don't use them at all.
Just my 2 cents worth....
Regards,
John
