Guided procedures & WebDynpro (SAP-EU software component)

Hi,
I'm trying to develop a Webdynpro component that is going to be used in Guided Procedure (CAF) in 2004s SPS08.
This snippet is in the <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/de/8976417f2d5558e10000000a1550b0/content.htm">tutorial</a>:
The software component SAP-EU must be imported in your development configuration. In particular, you need the following development components (DCs):
- caf/eu/gp/api
- caf/eu/gp/api/wd
In addition, you need the following DC from the software component SAP-JEE_1:
- com.sap.security.api.sda
I do know how to use DC's but where do I get this component SAP-EU from ? I could not find these caf/eu/gp/api etc. components in anywhere in the DC's I have on the local development.
Kind Regards,
Jari Pakarinen

SAP EU software component for Web Dynpro SP9

Hi all,
I've followed the tutorial on how to create a Web Dynpro Callable object and couldn't go further because I couldn't find the libraries needed in the Local DC (caf/eu/gp/api/wd) api's.
I've found the Blog from Andre Truong on how to retrieve this API's in your Local Development Component projects (SP7).
/people/andre.truong/blog/2006/06/26/working-with-the-apis-of-caf-guided-procedures-nwdi-or-local-development
Unfortunally this is only working for SP7 (And maybe SP8) but not for SP9.
In the blog Andre mentioned that this problem might be resolved with SP9 because the API's come as default with the IDE.
This appears not to be the case for me.
Does anyone know how to resolve this problem?
PS I also read the following thread and the reply from Tomas Kuba but that seems to be a difficult and dirty way to do it?
Re: Guided procedures & WebDynpro (SAP-EU software component)
Thanks in advance!

Ok, seems to work just fine for SP 9 also.
Only the folders eu and gp don't excists. Just create them and extract the zip files.
Great blog thanks!

Entry in SLD for SAP delivered software component contents

Hi
I have a predelivered software component version ( SWCV ) ESA ECC-SE 602 which I imported into IR ( by setting the *tpz file in the appropriate folder and the imported from IR ) This worked ok. Now I have a custom SWCV - that I created in SLD. Before importing this into IR , I want to create a install time dependency from this custom SWCV pointing to the standard. SWCV.
Question is : Where is the entry in SLD for the SAP standard SWCV - i.e ESA ECC-SE 602 - without this entry - in SLD - how can I point my custom SWCV to ESA ECC-SE 602 ? Or is there any other zip file apart from the *tpz file that is available in marketplace for ESA ECC-SE 602 that I need to import into SLD ? I am stuck at the point of defining the dependency with this question.

Hi
I see that in IR , the SAP std software component has the following name ECC-SE, version 602 . But I do not see a corresponding entry for this in the software catalog in the SLD.
*Question is - should an entry be created automatically in SLD under the software catalog for all SAP delivered contents whenever the tpz file is imported into the IR ? I don't see it created in our case. What is missing ?

Task based UI (Guided Procedure) in SAP CRM 7.0

I am trying to build a Task Based UI in SAP CRM 7.0. I followed the steps which SAP mentions but unfortunately i can't get it work.I am a functional consultant and so its quite possible that might have missed something critical
This is the sequence of steps i followed
Step 1 - Create new BSP component
2 - Created 3 custom views
3 - Created a "Guided Maintenance Page"
4 - According to SAP documentation/material - when i open the view/page created in step 3 i would be able to see the views i created in Step 2 and i can choose the views ( and the sequence) i want to use in the guided procedure.
But unfortunately in Step 3 - i don't see any of the views i created in "Step 2" .
So just wondering what i have missed and why the guided procedure is not working.
thanks in advance!
Cheers
SS

Hi Ruby,
Thanks a lot for your reply.
In your reply you have mentioned that - "As far as I know , if you use the guided maintainence procedure , at the top you can see the number of custom views added in the component , in your case you will be able to see them as 1, 2 and 3"
The issue I am encountering is that I don't see the (any) custom view in my guided procedure.
I don't see any of the the custom views 1,2 or 3 listed in the top half of the page. All i see is a table with no entries in it.
So i am wondering if i have missed out any important step in guided procedure( task based UI) creation process.
thanks in advance!
Cheers

Error when testing a Guided Procedure that use a Visual Composer UI

Hello!
Trying to develop my first Guided Procedure in SAP NW CE 7.1 SR3.
I follow instructions that I earlier have used with CE 7.1 SP1 (in TechEd07), assuming no major changes from SP1 to SR3...
I have defined a Callable Object that is based on a Visual Composer UI.
The Visual Composer UI itself works fine when I test it in Visual Composer but when I try to test the Callable Object I get the following error message:
"Could not load execution container: Did not find active instance for component com.sap.caf.eu.gp.ui.co.wd4vc.exec.COExecWD4VC in running application."
When I click on the error message I get a lot of details of the underlying Java exception:
"java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Cannot find view element with ID 9NEfbfuapOdP8O4KnmM19Q in application com.sap.caf.eu.gp.dt.workset.AppWorkset with namespace null"
(skipped all details...)
Have I missed some step (development or configuration) that is new in CE 7.1 SR3 compared to CE 7.1 SP1?
I have tried to read through the available on-line help but can't find anything that seems to differ...
Are there any examples/tutorials available for CE 7.1 SP3?
Thanks for your help,
Magnus.

Hello Dipankar!
Thanks for trying to help me out!
I'm unfortunately having problem with finding the choice "Add Guided Procedure Information" in the options menu in VC.
I have looked in the menu "Tools --> Options" but failed to find this choice.
Is this choice maybe changed in SAP NW CE 7.1 SR3?
Regarding running the VC component as a stand-alone application I can launch the component from VC after deployment and it works fine both as HTML and Flex (I really like the Flex - version :-)!
But if you mean something else with running it stand alone please direct me to some doc-url so I can learn how to do that!
Best Regards,
Magnus.

Cannot Open An Instantiate Application in Guided Procedures

Hi,
I an new to Guided Procedures and SAP NW CE. I have created a composite application following a tutorial example from the SAP Press book "The Developers Guide to the SAP NetWeaver Composition Environment" which is based on a project management process.
After I am finished with the modeling of process in GP (Callable Objects, Roles, Parameter consolidation), I tried to run the application by generating the Instantiate URL and subsequently opening it with the "Open Instanitiate Application" button in the "Instantiate" tabstrip. Unfortunately nothing has happened, and there was not even a single error message.
So I would like to know how can I diagnose this problem in GP? Where can I find the log trace?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Joon Meng

Hi,
In GP you can also run your application using "Start Process" on GP home (I don't remember exact word for menu). To monitor process goto Netweaver Administrator (http://<yourhost>:<port>/nwa) and goto Availability and Performance Management->Process Monitoring
Here you can see option for GP monitoring. Goto Process instance and look for your process (Hint: provide correct initiator and check all type of status).
Here you can also see steps and error details if any.

Export a Single Software Component

Hi guys,
is it possible to Export a SINGLE Software Component from one SLD & Import it into another SLD ????
Specifically "CRM JAVA CUSTOMER PROJECT 5.0"

Since Christopher is talking about the SLD, I think he means exporting the definition of the SC in the SLD. If that's the case, I do not think it's possible, looking at the SLD UI.
Besides that a Software Component definition is actually built up of multiple CIM objects (see below), which leads to the question: "What should be exported if you want to export "a Software Component"?"
CIM Objects for a Software Component:
- The Software Component
- One or more Software Component Versions
- One or more Software Features
- The Software Component GUID
- The dependencies with other Software Component Versions

WebFlow to Guided Procedures

To all who feel addressed.
Since some days i'm trying to figure it out to start a Guided Procedures from SAP WebFlow.
The way to import a webservice (created with SAP Netweaver Developer Studio) as a wsdl-file in transaction "WFWS" is not possible because the WebFlow engine doesn't support SOAP BINDING and complex datatypes.
In Guided Procedures it's possible to create an URL for an instantiation-porcess (Initiation-URL) and so it is possible to start the GP-process automatically with that URL.
Does anyone know if it's possible to call this URL in a SAP Workflow and what is necessary to start this GP-process from SAP WebFlow?
Is it possible to use the transaction "wf_extsrv" to register that URL as a kind of Webservice and fill into the path field the URL and then generate a task that you can use in the Workflow Builder? (prerequistes are that the SAP WebFlow Handler is customized correctly)
I am quite new in that field and hope that someone has some experiences.
Thanks a lot in advance
Kind regards

NW20004s - Guided procedures & Adobe forms

Dear all,
I have been using NW2004s with SP8.
In order to use the Adobe interactive forms , is there any other prerequisite ? Like do I have to get any license , authentication from SAP ?
In guided procedures, like SAP workflow, is there any way to get the approvers at run time ? May be based on the value of context parameter etc.
Your experience will be of great help to me.

Guided Procedures in ESS/MSS

Could somebody let me know what exactly is the use of Guided Procedures in ESS/MSS packages.
Points will be awarded for brief answers.

Hi Lina,
Guided procedures are basically for enabling access to multiple backend systems, consistently combining different types of services and applications into processes.
CAF Guided Procedures (CAF GP) is a framework for modeling and managing workflows using simple and user-friendly tools.
Also, GP supports collaboration, ad-hoc items, and offline task management using interactive forms. It provides role-based access to tools and resources and guidance through the workflows at runtime, thereby helping end users to easily identify and complete their tasks.
The following links will help you
[http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005/helpdata/en/fb/5e6f4169e25858e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm]
Also we can know how you integrate existing applications and services into the GP framework
The below link tells about GP to ESS

Guided procedures performance

I'm evaluating the performance of Guided procedures, in SAP Netweaver version 7.05 SP1. It runs over a machine with Intel Xeon @ 2.13 Ghz, 3.37 GB RAM, 2046 MB swap size, Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition, Service Pack 1, JRE version 1.5.0_11. The maximum JVM heap size is 1024 MB, using a parallel young garbage collection policy (-XX:+UseParNewGC), I'm using the parameter -XX
:+HandlePromotionFailure in order to work around the bug 6226790 related to the UseParNewGC garbage collection option (http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6226790).
The test target is a "dummy" process, with one sequential block and three actions. The load is generated with JMeter, the test script creates a process instance, issuing a HTTP request to the corresponding URL. The load test consists in a increasing load of 1 to 20 concurrent virtual users, with a ramp-up time of 20 minutes (one new user every minute). The virtual users start process instances until the test is stopped (there is no defined iteration number), with a think time of 10 seconds.
Till a load of 10 concurrent users the behavior is normal: constant response time about 500 ms and increasing throughput (considering the throughput as process instances started per second), until that moment about 300 process instances are created. However, as the test continues, the response time suddenly increases, the throughput falls and eventually the netweaver instance gets stuck. What is curious is that, although the netweaver instance is stuck, the utilization of the processor is low (less than 10%), as well as the memory (the heap just grows till 610 MB, its limit is 1024 MB). There are no sign of exhaustion of other resources, according to the corresponding performance counters (disk read and write queues, network utilization, context switches per second).
The GP runtime is using the local workflow engine, the test has been repeated with 2, 4 and 8 threads in the workflow engine. In all the cases the above described results were almost the same.
Does anybody know why the netweaver instance gets stuck under such conditions, and is there a way to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance

The problem seems to be fixed in SP3.

Importing Development Component - Webdynpro and Guided Procedures

Hi All,
I created a development component project of type "Webdynpro". I created callable Object in guided procedures and the Process is working fine. I want to import the same project into another Nwds (another workspace).
I tried the following steps.
1. File - import - Multiple Existing project into workspace.
2. Imported the DC.
I have already added all the Gp jarfiles. But after importing, and rebuilding the project, it gives me only webdynpro and components,views.. It is not showing me as a normal webdynpro project. It is not showing me the GP Api's, the "USED DC's". which i created in the other project.
When i am creating a new project, it is working fine.Can anyone please help me in resolving this issue? How can i import a DC (gp) into webdynpro?
Thanx and Regards,
Divya

How to use WebDynpro Applications in Guided Procedure?

Hello,
i want to use a WebDynpro application as a part of a guided procedure. Therefor i developed a simple WebDynpro application as described in the NetWeaver Developer Studio Help. The Application consists of only two views. The first view is to enter data, the second displays them. So far so good....
In the next step i wanted to integrate this application as a CallableObject for execution in my guided procedures process. The wizard asks in step 2 for the "Development component" and WebDynpro Application. But where do it get this information? Indifferently what path i enter, it only returns an error the the object is not available on the server.
EDIT: The path to the webdynpro application is something like this: http://host:port/webdynpro/dispatcher/local/WebDynproUITest/UITest
kind regards,
Matthias

Hello Dipankar,
thx for the blog! This really helped a lot!
The problem is, that you cant test the WebDynpro as a stand-alone application. What would be the best way to develop a WebDynpro Application for GP?
Is there a way to start with a 'normal' WebDynpro Application and convert this when finished in a "guided procedure ready WebDynpro for CE Application"?
I think i will contact you next week with more questions, for now on its weekend
regards,
Matthias
