Help URL for ESS web dynpro applications

Hi gurus,
I am trying to assign help URL for a standard ESS iView( Record working time).
When i go to the iView properties i have property showhelp. I have the same property for the page record working time.
When i set this property to yes at the page level the help option shows up and whn i set this at the iView level the help option does not show up ( in the right hand corner of the page or iView)
My main question... how do i set up the help url for this help. becuase even for page when i click on help it says "no help found"
I want to give a URL for this help link.
Any thoughts on why this option is not popping up when i set the show help option for iView and how to enable the help URL for iView as well.
Appreciate any help on the same.
regards
Sam

The Help option should show up in the iview tray if you set it at the iView level. Im not sure why that part isnt working for you.
For the iView help, you can set the property URL to Help Topic property on the iview or page.
If your version doesnt have this property, you can use the PCD inspector (available under system administration>Support>Portal Content Directory-->PCD Inspector). Browse to the iview, click on prop editor, click the Switch to PCM property. Edit the com.sap.portal.iview.HelpUrl and enter your help url.
Hope this helps-
Marty

Get URL parameters of Web Dynpro Application using Floor plan manager

Hi Experts,
I have a web dynpro component using FPM. The default window of the application is FPM_WINDOW which is an interface view of component of FPM framework. so I cannot get the URL parameters in handledefault of a normal web dynpro app which is not using FPM. How do I get URL parameters in this case through FPM? Thanks!

Hi,
I guess you might have created the application under FPM_OIF_COMPONENT/FPM_GAF_COMPONENT. For that add the pramaters to the PARAMTERS tab of teh application.
Now, you can use
data lo fpm type ref to if_fpm.
lo_fpm = cl_fpm=> get_instance( ).
CALL METHOD lo_fpm->mo_app_parameter->get_value
    EXPORTING
      iv_key   = 'PERNR'            "Application param name
    IMPORTING
      ev_value = lv_pernr.

Web Dynpro Application URL Host Name Not Correct

Hello,
I am developing a web dynpro application in our development system but when I activate the application it gets a URL that points to our test system. When I test the application in HTTP Service (SICF) the URL for the development system is passed to the browser. WHere do you maintain the host that is being used to build the URL for the web dynpro application when it is activated.
Thanks,
Jim N.

Hello,
To configure the FQDN (host name full), please take a look at these:
[http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/67/be9442572e1231e10000000a1550b0/content.htm] and

HTTP 500 internal server error while starting abap web dynpro application

Hi there,
i have some problems concerning my web dynpro abap configurations in the system. When i start an application the browser appears and displays the http 500 internal server error. The required icf nodes are activated, as far as i know. the following properties are set:
hostname: aet
port: 8000
The generated url for the web dynpro application looks as follows:
http://aet.ls3001:8000/sap/bc/webdynpro/sap/zwdr_test?sap-language=EN
Maybe anybody of you out there has an idea for that situation.
Thanks for your afford and kind regards,
Albert

Hi Ulli,
the error message says:
UNKNOWN HOST
Description: Unable to locate the server named "aet.ls3001" --- the server does not have a DNS entry. Perhaps there is a misspelling in the server name, or the server no longer exists. Double-check the name and try again.
So the problem is the hostname.
When i replace the hostname with the ip of the server, the following error occures:
COULD NOT CONNECT
Description: Could not connect to the server "10.18.187.9".
But with SAPLogon, its possible to connect on the server by filling in the ip adress.
Kind regards,
Albert

Get HTTPS URL for Web dynpro application

We are using SSL. By default the URL generated for the Web dynpro application is HTTP.
We went to SICF, and deactivated the HTTP service. That made the URL point to HTTPS.
But few problems started coming because of it:
- Our Content server became inaccessible.
- Every time server is re-started, we need to manually go and de-activate HTTP Service.
We even tried to set the parameter icm/icm/HTTP/redirect_0. But problem is not solved.
I know this question is asked before, but every time the answer is to read the help document on ICM.
What's the correct way for any webdynpro application to point to HTTPS? I don't think de-activating HTTP service is the right way.
Any suggestions please?
Thanks in adv.

Thanks a lot Thomas. I'd ask the Portal Admin to try it out.
There is another similar problem we are facing: I have embedded Webdynpro in R/3 screen. Then used the cl_gui_wdr_viewer class's load_application method passing HTTPS protocol.
It returns HTTPS URL only, but is not showing up on users' laptops.
Earlier we were not passing HTTPS protocol, so generated URL was HTTP, and it was not showing on users' screen (can show in ours). Reason we found out is that users' site has HTTP port blocked. They cannot show any HTTP url.
So we changed to get HTTPS URL, but that also gives the same problem. It is still trying to get HTTP url.
Here is the URL that the users got: (when they right click to see the URL generated)
res://ieframe.dll/dnserrordiagoff_webOC.htm#http://abc.def.jil:8000/sap/public/myssocntl?sap-client=220
Can give any clues on why this is going wrong? Cannot raise OSS as I know embedding Webdynpro in R/3 is not supported
Thanks in adv.

Call ESS FPM CATS Working time application from non FPM web dynpro application on click of button

Hi,
My requirement is to launch ESS Working time application HRESS_AC_CATS_1 from custom web dynpro application.
ESS CATS working time application is configured in LPD_CUST launchpad.
I tried using method cl_hr_navigation_services=>navigate in my custom web dynpro but it did not work.
Regards,
Ibrahim

In case you want to use Launchpad, you can use ABAP class CL_APB_LAUNCHPAD_API. If choose not to use Launchpad, you can use method CONSTRUCT_WD_URL of ABAP class CL_WD_UTILITIES to generate the URL. Specify Web Dynpro application and Web Dynpro Configuration as parameter. Finally create an external window using method CREATE_EXTERNAL_WINDOW that points to that URL.

Application specific theme in CE7.1 web dynpro application

Custom seach help for standard field in Web dynpro application

Hi All,
I have a requirement in SRM portal where in I have a to add a custom search help to the 'WBS_ELEMENT' field in the the 'ACCOUNT ASSIGNMENT' tab of the Shopping cart creation screen with some input parameters on the search help.
As the SRM Shopping cartcreation screen is a standard web dynpro application.
Can anyone help me in this regard for addition of search help for a field with some custom fields in the Search help screen.
Any inputs will be very helpful.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Ahmed.

Hi Ahmed,
If it is an standard application then you will have to do ENHANCEMENT in the component. And for using customised value help you will have to declare attribute in CONTEXT and dynamically change the binding of the Value property of UI element inside post-method of WDDOMODIFY. You can create your own customised value help for newly added attribute.
Thanks,
Vishesh

What I want to have some help with is to find the source code for that tutorial so I can get som guidence from there.

Creating an Extended Web Dynpro Application
You can download the Web Dynpro project for the current tutorial from the Software Developer Network SDN (http://sdn.sap.com -> Web Application Server -> Web Dynpro -> Sample Applications and Tutorials) in two versions: one skeleton version you can use for exercises and one final version (solution) for an immediate build, deployment and run on the Java engine of the SAP Web Application Server.
How hard I try I can't find the specific source code on sdn.sap.com
Does anyone have a clue where it is?

Hi!
I did what you said but I seem to miss the IDE folder. This is what it looks in my Explorer
C: > Program Files > SAP > IDE > CE > eclipse > (no folder called "examples")
I also did a search in this eclipse folder for "examples" but I did'nt find the example I'm looking for
I am running a newer version of NWDS:
SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio
SAP NetWeaver 7.1 Composition Environment SP03 PAT0000
Maybe that's why things don't look the same?

Required dependencies for Web Dynpro Application accessing KM

Hi all,
I need to implement a Web Dynpro application that access km documents (NW 2004s). But i'm having problems to find one required api. I read several tutorials acording to which I need the EP5 user api (com.sap.security.api.ep5.jar).
The problem is that the application I need to make has to be a development component in NWDI (not a plain proyect).
What I need to know is which Siftware Component dependencies I should add to my siftware component in order to be able to access the EP5 user api.
I found the SC required for KM api is KMC-CM, but this doesnot include the EP5 user api.
Any ideas ?
Thanks,
Diego.

Wrong URL in Web Dynpro Application explorer

Dear Team,
The Web Dynpro Application explorer is showing wrong URL:
URL             HTTP://server2.domainname.COM:1090/sap/bc/webdynpro/sap/zz_pt_hello
And this is not a correct URL.
Where as the actual URL should be :
https://server1.domainname.com:8030/sap/bc/webdynpro/sap/zz_pt_hello
But when I test the service, /default_host/sap/bc/webdynpro/sap/zz_pt_hello, in sicf t-code, the test works successfully with the desired URL i.e. https://server1.domainname.com:8030/sap/bc/webdynpro/sap/zz_pt_hello.
the profile parameter: icm/host_name_full   has value server1.domainname.com.
Please guide me to resolve this problem.
regards

Hi,
The hostname for the application server is checked by the following parameters in this order. Can you please verify that the SAPLOCALHOSTFULL is the correct hostname.
(1) SAPLOCALHOSTFULL
(2) icm/host_name_full
If both of these are correct can you check the Hosts file in the /etc/hosts folder for the correct entry.
