Enterprise Portal: Testing Components Example

Hello,
I am developing enterprise portal component iviews which also connects to a SAP R3 backend system.
For a long time I am searching for automatic testing tools or guides for that. But only the very short documentation about the Enterprise Portal Unit Test Perspective in the NWDS was found ! But this is really useless for me as I cannot see any practical example. The meaing of that is clear, but I need a real example, not only a method returning a string!
Can anyone lead me out of that dark and show me a way how testing of JSPDynPage could be done in NWDS??? Examples are needed as well, please!
Thanks for your help,
Regards,
Andreas

Pro/cons for dev. environments for Enterprise Portal components

Hi
I am looking for some positives and some negatives that should be considered when a client needs to decide on which development environment to use for Portal development. I am aware of three products, Visual Composer, Web Dynpro and NW Developer Studio.
Is there anyone who can briefly try to explain the positives and negatives with each?
Any feedback is greatly appreciated!
Kind Regards,
Thomas Kjelsrud

Hi Thomas,
first, welcome on SDN!
Then about your question:
The standard IDE for any kind of portal components / applications is the NetWeaver Developer Studio (NWDS). By this, you can develop different things (EJBs etc pp), but also portal specific projects (in the end: PAR files, based on AsbtractPortalComponent, DynPages or JSPDynPages) as well es WebDynpro applications. The latter are able to run standalone (ie not driven by EP, but by WAS J2EE 6.40), but there is also a tight integration into the portal environment.
If this is understood, you know that the question "NWDS or WebDynpro" does not make sense, for WebDynpro is developed through NWDS.
A first overview about this issue so far is https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/documents/a1-8-4/exploring java programming models with sap netweaver developer studio.pdf
In that PDF, also the relationship of the tool NWDS and the programming model of WebDynpro is given (even if the term "relationship" may be misguiding, it's more that these two things are to be seen in a comparison, for they use different techniques, are meant for different aims etc.)
The VC is a totaly visual tool to build "applications" for EP mainly based on access to R/3 as backend system, for example. So it's focus is on building UIs which access backend information. That for sure is important for backend integration into EP, but the term "application" does not really fit.
For VC see https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/documents/a1-8-4/developing code-free business applications using visual composer - beginner.abst and https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/documents/a1-8-4/visual composer - a model-driven development tool for enterprise portal iviews.pdf as an introduction.
Hope it helps

ABAP WD: Different display in Test window and enterprise portal

Hi,
I am using Table and TreeByNestingtable column in ABAP webdynpro(Basis 710 release). When I run the application using test, table captions are not in bold and there is no difference between TreeByNestingtable column and other columns in background color.
But when I display the same component in Enterprise portal using iview(EP 6), the table captions appear in bold and TreeByNestingtable column and other columns appear in different background color.
Has anybody encountered this issue? And how do we resolve it?
Regards,
Srini.

Please see OSS Note 903662 on restrictions and steps for running ABAP Web Dynpro in older releases of the portal. In particular you should disable the portal style sheet.

Reg:implementation Enterprise portal in solution manager

hi all
i am new to the concept of solution manager .In this how can we implement Enterprise portal .Actually what an EP consultant work need to be done in this solution manager.can any one provide some real time scenarios info related to it .
regards
Deepika

Hi,
Regarding the implementation phase, Solution Manager helps you via several functionalities:
- Solution Documentation: Central documentation of processes, system landscape, custom code,...
- Test Management:Change impact analysis, End-to-end test management
- Change Control Management: Integrated quality management, Synchronized transports of various components, Controlled and documented adjustment of business processes incl. approval process
- Application Incident Management: Integrated service desk, Involvement of partners in problem resolution, Provide root-cause analysis for complex landscapes with diverse technology stacks
The most important part in from my perspective for a implementation consultant is the Project Documentation functionality, where you can get Implementation Content for Enterprise Portal. This includes business scenarios documentation and business process included in the Business Process Repository, how to configure different scenarios and business processes, test cases, etc.
I think you can find some information in the marketplace about this functionality. For example you may find something under service.sap.com/alm -> SAP Solution Manager and Tools.
Best regards,
Fernando

Using the HTML SAP GUI inside the Enterprise Portal?

Hello everyone
In our company we plan to set up the SAP Enterprise Portal (NetWeaver 7.0). The first application we want to provide inside the portal is the SAP GUI that connects to our SAP ERP 2005 system via single sign on. Therefor two different approaches exist:
1: Using the standard SAP GUI inside a portal iView. In this case every client pc needs the SAP GUI installed.
2: Using the HTML SAP GUI. In this case we have to set up the integrated ITS in our SAP ERP system.
Now I have some questions about the second approach. Is the functionality of the HTML GUI equal to the functionality of the standard GUI? If not, what are the restrictions? How high is the additional load on the network and SAP ERP system caused by the HTML GUI? Would you recommend this approach for a system with more than thousand SAP users?

Hi Marc,
At least if you consider using webgui, you should test the transactions properly as there are some issues for example with scandinavian characters and lines visible in lists of search helps.
Also you might want to consider the limitations of the screen resolutions and space which the portal framwork already takes from the gui. This of course is a topic for both HTML/SAP GUI's.
Kind regards,
Ville

Integration of Adobe forms in Enterprise Portal

Manager Self Service:
Say suppose i want to integrate "Change Personnel Area and Sub Area" into Portal:
I can deploy the MSS Business Package in Portal & with the appropriate iviews installed i can access "Change Personnel Area and Sub Area" in Portal.
The above thing works without any issues.
I have ads configured, acf & adobe lifecycle designer installed -- config tests are successfull for some sample webdynpro applications.

NEW Requirement:
Users want to see the same "Change Personnel Area and Sub Area (ISR_FORM_SPPA, ISR_IF_SPPA) " in Portal as adobe interactive forms.
Can you tell me where i have to start to accomplish the above task?
Any insight on the below stuff would be higly appreciated and rewarded.
1)?backend tcode sfp?
2)?web dynpro java?
3)?business package Enterprise Portals?
Thanks in Advance,
RK.

you can edit anything you like to .
If you want to modify any ESS / MSS Application, you need to have the source code of these XSS DC's as well in your Design Time, else it will give you build errors.
For this you need to have a JDI setup since the MSS and XSS are provided in two different tracks of DTR.
As far as I know because of the used dependency of ESS/MSS Applications, using JDI is the best (and only) option to modify the ESS/MSS WebDynpro Applications.
And then implementing the JDI, helps in version management .The only way to unpack ESS/MSS / PCUI_GP components properly for development is through NWDI. So NWDI is mandatory.
For further information please go through the link:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/b0/ee3441d95dd92be10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm
Since you are interested in adding the adobe forms you need to have adobe server setup and then you can modify the existing webdynpro application to point to adobe forms.
In SDN tutorials tehre is a link for adobe applications, which you can try on your own. This has been asked many times in the forums and you will get the details with a simple search.
Hope this helps!

How to bind an IIS to the enterprise portal installed on a linux machine

Dear all,
I am very new to the topic of Enterprise Portal.
Our intention is, to develop .NET IViews and deploy them in the Enterprise Portal.
The Enterprise Portal Server is set up on a linux machine.
The Guy who did install the Portal Server, has no idea how to "integrate" the Microsoft IIS to the Portal.
After deploying my .net Component, i tried to view this component in the portal (by right clicking the mouse on the Component in in the .NET Solutions Explorer).
This gives me the following error:
Portal Runtime Error
An exception occured while processing a request for:
iView:N/A
Component Name: N/A
Could not find portal application com.sap.portal.dotnet.framework.
Exception id: 02:06.......
See the details for the exception ID in the log file
I think that this has something in common with integrating the IIS on the Linux Machine, and maybe additionaly installing the pdk.net on the IIS webserver machine which should be used.
Thank you for your help.
Regards

Hi,
Welcome to the world of Enterprise portal
Seems to me like you are trying to use the PDK for .NET. If so - Please read the overview section in the documentation to get a general idea of how it works (for example - IIS is not used at all!).
See the Visual Studio integrated help or click this https://media.sdn.sap.com/html/submitted_docs/dotnet/index.htm
there go to "Getting Started" and mostly "Overview".
Anyway, It seems like the problem is that you didn't deploy the 2 required SDA's to the portal. You should also take a look at the "installation and configuration" guide. Download it here: https://www.sdn.sap.com/sdn/developerareas/dotnet.sdn?contenttype=url&content=/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/documents/a1-8-4/pdk for .net administrator guides.zip
Good luck,
Ofer

Hi,
How have you defined the property "WAS host" for the portal system that you have created for the back-end?
You might get this error if the way you have defined this WAS host property and the way you are calling the portal are different. For example, if your WAS host property is "<hostname>:<portnumber>" and you are calling your portal as "localhost:<portnumber>", then you will get this error.
Also are you connecting to your portal using the fully qualified domain name? Don't call the portal simply as
http://<host>:<port>/irj but call it as http://<host>.<domain>:<port>/irj.

Satyajit.

Double stack BI and Enterprise portal for SSO

I am in the process of configuring a double stack BI and SAP Enterprise Portal. Both systems are residing on different domains. We want to utilize the standalone SAP Enterprise Portal for our BEx etc. For that I have exchanged certificates between the ABAP and the SAP Enterprise Portal systems and with the help of Support desk tool I have overcome the certificate issues. The RFC connection from ABAP and SAP Enterprise Portal works fine. The Support desk tool is complaining now about the prefix of these two servers. Also when I check the connection testing between these two systems all the messages are correct except for WEBAS connection it complains about the ping service which is already active on ABAP side. For Connectors it complains about SSO which is not detected/complained by the Support desk tool (0.426). I need your advice:
1. Either uninstall the JAVA instance of BI or
2. Make a Federated Portal network by making the BI JAVA as PRODUCER and the SAP standalone as CONSUMER.
The Support package levels are the same as EHP1 SP 7 of both the double stack BI and the standalone Enterprise Portal systems. The source of users are both local to the systems.

SAP BW Bex 7.3 Queries not working with Enterprise Portal (EP) 7.3 ABAP stack only

SAP BW Bex 7.3 Queries not working with Enterprise Portal (EP) 7.3 ABAP Stack
Dear Portal Gurus,
we want to integrate SAP BW Bex Queries 7.3 into an Enterprise Portal 7.3 EP ABAP Stack only installation.
1) We have Done SSO between EP And BI System
2) System Object is Created
3) When we trying to create Iview of BEX 7.3 report, its executing that report on BI server, we don't have java stack on BI System
4) We have updated the required table in Bi system for executing the report on EP
5) RFC is OK, System Object Test is OK, Report is working independently from Business Explorer, but not working from EP
There no irj services available on BI system, as it is only ABAP stack.
Can anybody help us in achieving our requirement
Thanks in advance
Michael Wecker

Hi Michael,
To integrate portal with BI you need to perform BI Portal integration steps.
Refer to a document link below for guidance purpose.
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/b0a5216a-349c-2a10-9baf-9d4797349f6a?overridelayout=t…
Ensure that you have performed all these relevant steps.

500 Internal server error when loging in to Enterprise portal after refresh

Hi,
We had a data base refresh of test system with production data. After the refresh, when users are trying to log in to portal test server, they are getting error as follows:
The initial exception that caused the request to fail, was:
   com.sap.tc.webdynpro.services.exceptions.WDRuntimeException: ComponentUsage(FPMConfigurationUsage): Active component must exist when getting interface controller. (Hint: Have you forgotten to create it with createComponent()? Should the lifecycle control of the component usage be "createOnDemand"?

I have instaled the certificate after refresh, but still getting this error. I work on SAP ECC6. Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Bijoy,
Do you have the specific error message that the system shows when SSO is not working?
e.g. The system has received an expired SSO ticket
       Issuer of SSO ticket is not authorized
Did you do a connection test for your system connector?
You might want to check the following:
1. Time difference between portal server and ECC server
2. Parameters (e.g. login/accept_sso2_ticket = 1) in ECC have the correct value
3. User account that you are using for testing exists and is valid in ECC.
4. Portal certificate is still valid and has been added into certificate list and ACL of your ECC client (with the right SID and client number).
5. System connector settings in portal are correct.
Cheers.

Use HCM processes and Forms without using the Enterprise Portal

is it possible to leverage existing HR Admin Services (HCM processes and Forms) functionality without using the Enterprise Portal?
1) Create an Adobe form and Interface using SFP
2) Set up ISR and Form Scenario
3) Set up Forms configuration to use existing Backend and generic Services
4) Set up workflow to updated Backend using Services
is it possible to do the above steps and not use the Portal? If Yes, how do we present the forms to the Manager, and provide different buttons that appears on the Portal by default?
Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Saurabh

Hi Saurabh,
your assumptions and findings (items can not be started from the backend workflow inbox etc.) are correct: These processes can not be started without the Portal and it is not intended to do this.
The above mentioned backend report are only forseen for implementation and testing purposes and not for productive use.
In addition to the fact, that you already can't execute the work items a lot of other features of the framework (Process Browser etc.) are only available through the Portal.
