Creating a Business Package for multiple Target Audiences

Hi,
I want to create a business package that will be certified later. The required target audiences are Line Managers and Specialists. From what I understand, a business package must be assigned to <i>one</i> of the following: Every User, Managers, or Specialists. I take this to mean that we must create two separate Business packages if we want to support both Line Managers AND Specialists. Is this correct?
Thanks,

Hi Kenneth,
the formal requirements in fact are "the business package must be located <u>in one</u> of the folders specified below. The user type assigned to the business package (Every User, Line Manager, or Specialist) during registration determines your choice."
Anyhow, the certification is a process which primarily cares about correct namespaces, namespace usage etc. So if from your point of view the business package only makes sense to be distributed as <i>one</i> package, just decide which of the terms in question will make most sense. Then put your complete content under this area.
Hope it helps

I am not able to locate imported business package

Hi,
I have created few roles, worksets and iView for my applilcation. Then created one business package using export option. I can see .epa file in the export folder.
Now I have to test this package before sending to other teams. I could not locate the package even after importing it.
How should I import and test this package....
Also should I sent par files used to create iView and system along with the business package to the other team. I have created one iView using 'New From par' and iView type is 'com.sap.portal.appintegrator.sap' and system of type 'com.sap.portal.howtos.webapp' using 'New From Par'.
Pls help.
Thanks in advance.

bhawna

hi bhawna,
the imported content package is imported at two different location based on two version
as follow.
if your portal is EP 5.0 then the package extension is ".pkg" and it is imported as your told path means "Administrator->Portal Content->Migrated Content->EP 5.0->roles-cFolders."here also depending your imported content.
if your portal is EP 6.0 then the package extension is ".epa" and it is imported under the path " Administrator->Portal Content->content providede by sap" here in subfolders depending your imported content.
and for your problem related cant's see the system aliases
you have to set the permission for your newly created system.

How to import and test a business package

Hi All,
I have created one Business package and want to test it.
I found one blog and followed the steps, but I am not able to see any folders named 'cFolders' under 'Content Administrator->Portal Content->Migrated Content->EP 5.0->roles-cFolders' as specified in the blog.
This is the link to blog:
Step by step guide to implement Business Package for Collaboration by cFolders 2.0
Also, should I sent par files used to create iView and system along with the business package, as I have created iView using 'New From par' and iView type is 'com.sap.portal.appintegrator.sap' and system of type 'com.sap.portal.howtos.webapp' using 'New From Par'.
Pls provide me the inputs.
Thanks in advance.

Try re-starting the portal J2EE engine to see whether you see the contents as mentioned.
Also to test the business package create a user and assign one of the roles mentioned and log on with that user to see the contents.
Please award points if this helps or hints.

Adding a workset to a Business Package

Hi,
I have created a business package using the SAP Netweaver Development Studio. I did this:
File -> New -> Project... (opens 'New Project' wizard)
Portal Application -> Create a Portal Application Project
Project name: MyBP; project root folder: C:\
In the newly created project I created an iView like this:
New -> Other... (opens 'New' wizard)
Portal Application -> Create a new Portal Application Object
selected project 'MyBP'
selected template PortalComponent -> AbstractPortalComponent
Filled in name, class name, package name... Finish...
This works fine. I added some code, exported it to a par archive and uploaded it to the portal and tested it. I can see my iView and test it. It works fine.
Now I want to try to add a Workset (or a Page) to my BP. All documentation I can find is suggesting that this is possible, but I can't seem to find any example on how to do it. The 'New' wizard does not offer any templates to use so I am stuck.
Is there any example available on how to add worksets and pages etc to a Business Package, or maybe it's not possible?
Is a Workset defined in/as XML and if so, where?
Thanks for any help,
-Stijn

Stijn,
The Business Packages are normally pre-built content delivered by SAP available from "http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/developerareas/contentportfolio") but you can also build .epa files as a Portal Transport Request (via System AdminTransportExport and by creating a NewTransport Package and adding content from the PCD).
Some of the SAP business packages are delivered as .zip files, some as .epa files and some as .sda file (which require deployment via the SDM remoteGui rather than the normal method of System AdminTransportImport)
The basic idea is that you can import a load of prebuilt content, of which most of the value is in the iViews and the code behind them, which have been organised into what SAP consider useful Pages, Worksets and Roles that will generally be useful to customers.
You can then take a copy of the existing roles from the business packages and use them as a starting point for your own customised roles by adding removing or changing their content.
All of the objects except for iViews exist as PCD objects, as all they really do is organise the iViews into usefull groupings. Its only the iViews that generally require any coding behind them from Netweaver Developer Studio.
Out of interest, what are you trying to develop?
Cheers,
Steve

Issue on Creating RFx in webdynpro ABAP application - SRM Business Package

Hi
We are in to SRM 7.0 with the same version of Business Package in SAP Portal also.
I am trying to create a RFx from Portal which in turn calls the webdynpro ABAP application (Strategic Purchasing->Strategic Sourcing->Create Documents->RFx)
sap/bc/webdynpro/sapsrm/wda_l_fpm_oif.
This Application has some button called "Tech RFx", "Permissions" etc., When I click on those buttons it throws the error as below :
"There is no iView available for system "SAP_SRM": object "TechResp". For more information, contact your administrator."
Please let me know where we are missing. I have checked all the Portal permissions. Even I can able to access all other iviews except this two buttons.
Any settings or parameters required on webdynpro ABAP side.
Regards,
Raja.J

Dear Raja,
this behavior occurs if the IView com.sap.pct.srm.gp.iv_tech_resp
is not assigned to the role which is assigned to the user.
Please assign this IView to the desired user.
Here are the steps to follow in your systems:
STEP 1: Login to the Portal with Content Admin Authorization.
STEP 2: Navigate to Portal Content -> Content Provided by SAP ->
specialist -> SRM7.0 -> Core -> Roles -> Open the desired role and
choose Navigation Folder.
STEP 3: Now navigate to Portal Content -> Content Provided by SAP ->
specialist -> SRM7.0 -> PPS -> iViews -> Tendering -> Select Tech
Responses (Technical name is iView com.sap.pct.srm.gp.iv_tech_resp) and
right click and choose 'Add iView to Role' -> Delta Link and save.
STEP 4: Log off and login with the user and check the issue.

Creating transport package for CRM Business Package

Hi there,
I have recently installed the CRM Business Packages 60.2 onto our EP6.0 SP2 server. I have also performed quite a lot of configuration on the portal e.g. creating new roles, worksets, iviews etc.
We have now installed a new EP6 server which is running on EP6 SP12. I now need to install the CRM Business Packages 60.2 along with my work again onto the new EP server.
Anyway I have some questions below:
1) I was wondering whether I could create various 'Transport Packages' using the Transport > Export functionality under the System Administration tab. So if I create Transport packages which contains the CRM business packages, export these to the server, then on the new EP6 server import these. Is this possible or is it advisable to install the CRM business package again.
2) In addition to this say for example I could create transport packages for the CRM business package, can I also create transport packages for the new roles, iView etc I created and import these into the new EP server?
3) If say I decided to install the CRM Business Package onto the new EP server, but then I imported my work from the old EP server (i.e. new roles/worksets etc) into the new EP server, would this work. Reason I ask is because some worksets I used in my new role on the old EP server are delta links to the migrated content. If I only import my work how does it know where the delta links are pointing to?
I hope this makes sense.
Cheers
JoJo

Hi JoJo,
Can you please give me the link of latest version of CRM Business package for EP 6.
Thanks,

Not sure if you got an answer for this question. Just saw this..
See SAP Help URL http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005/helpdata/en/42/ef6861370a1bcae10000000a11466f/content.htm
Excerpt below from SAP Help on Context ID:
Including the Generic Key Figure Monitor in the SAP NetWeaver Portal
Use
You only have to carry out this procedure if you want to put together your own portal role using various parts developed by SAP or by yourself.
Prerequisites
·        You are in the content administration for the Portal.
·        You have created a role in the portal.
·        You want to include the KEY_FIGURE_MONITOR iView from the Common Parts business package in the portal page of your role using delta link. The iView is called Key Figure Monitor.
·        In the I_CONTEXT_ID parameter, you have created a unique four-digit alphanumerical key for the generic key figure monitor that identifies an instance of the key figure monitor within the role. If you want to use the key figure monitor more than once in your role, you must create a unique key each time you use the generic key figure monitor in the role.
You have created a role in the portal. This role contains two iViews, which contain the generic key figure monitor. iView aaa.bbb.ccc and iView xxx.yyy.zzz. Set the following values in the Property Editor for the iViews in the property category Application Parameters:
§         For the iView aaa.bbb.ccc: I_CONTEXT_ID=1111
§         For the iView xxx.yyy.zzz: I_CONTEXT_ID=2222

Modification of ABAP Web DynPro iViews delivered via Business Packages

Hello Everyone,
If this has been answered before, I apologize.
Is there any 'supported' way ( or 'unsupported' ) to modify the out of the box ABAP WebDynPro iViews which are delivered via some of the new Business Packages for ECC 6.0?
For example, I want to hide some fields on the 'Create Order' iView delivered in the Business Package for Internal Sale Representative..
Thanks

These Business Packages are just iView definitions that point to normal Web Dynpro ABAP components/applications that reside on the backend ABAP system. They can be enhnaced like any other WDA application.

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.

Creating a "Business Service" from a WSDL: Can't initialize WsdlEntryHelper

I'm working through a "HelloWorld" setup of Weblogic (10.0.3.5) and OSB (11.1.1.5.0) using OEPE 11.1.1.7.2.
I have a OSB Project with a Weblogic Web Service. I've generated a WSDL and when I try to copy/paste or drag-and-drop or load the WSDL file through the Business Service Configuration I always get the following error:
Description Resource Path Location Type
Could not initialize class com.bea.wli.sb.resources.wsdl.helpers.WsdlEntryHelper HelloWorldService.wsdl /HelloWorld_SB line 1 ALSB Synchronization Error
If it helps, the WSDL is linked below. Any ideas? Thanks.
http://pastie.org/3438419

I was able to recreate the test WS project and get to the same error as before. The difference is I didn't create an EAR project nor endpoint interfaces. It published fine with this bare-bones setup.
Can someone please take a look at my steps and see if I'm doing anything wrong and if you know how to get around it? Trying to get just the most simple local WS on OSB has taken days and I really need to get to work on something productive!
I'm pasting my notes below, but since the forum doesn't cooperate with my spacing, I've pasted a more readable version at pastie:
http://pastie.org/private/5dlmjcbkrjzzmurt2f04g
STEPS FOR CREATING A TEST WS
============================
1) File -> New -> WebLogic Web Services -> Web Service Project
a) Project name: Foo_WS
b) Location: C:\workspaces\osb\TEST0_WS
c) Target runtime: Oralce WebLogic Servier 11gR1 PatchSet 4
d) Default Configuration
e) EAR Membership: unchecked
d) Finish
2) Under "Servers" tab, right click the WebLogic Server and add Foo_WS
3) In the "Foo_WS" project Right click 'src' -> New WebLogic Web Service
a) Name: Foo
b) Package: foo
c) Do not check 'Generate Service Endpoint Interface'
d) Click Finish
3) Load Foo.java
a) Change Foo.hello() to return a String and take a String argument
b) Change the class annotation to:
@WebService(name = "Foo", targetNamespace = "http://foo", serviceName = "FooService", portName = "FooPort")
4) Republish to the server
5) Check that it is running, load "http://localhost:7001/Foo_WS/FooService?WSDL". See output:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?><definitions xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap/" xmlns:tns="http://foo" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/" targetNamespace="http://foo" name="FooService">
<types>
<xsd:schema>
<xsd:import namespace="http://foo" schemaLocation="http://localhost:7001/Foo_WS/FooService?xsd=1"/>
</xsd:schema>
</types>
<message name="hello">
<part name="parameters" element="tns:hello"/>
</message>
<message name="helloResponse">
<part name="parameters" element="tns:helloResponse"/>
</message>
<portType name="Foo">
<operation name="hello">
<input message="tns:hello"/>
<output message="tns:helloResponse"/>
</operation>
</portType>
<binding name="FooPortBinding" type="tns:Foo">
<soap:binding transport="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/http" style="document"/>
<operation name="hello">
<soap:operation soapAction=""/>
<input>
<soap:body use="literal"/>
</input>
<output>
<soap:body use="literal"/>
</output>
</operation>
</binding>
<service name="FooService">
<port name="FooPort" binding="tns:FooPortBinding">
<soap:address location="http://localhost:7001/Foo_WS/FooService"/>
</port>
</service>
</definitions>
6) Back to OEPE: Create New OSB Configuration Project: name = Foo_Conf, ignored advanced settings, Finish
7) Add Foo_Conf to the server and publish. Now the OWL Server 11gR1 PatchSet 4 at localhost has 2 projects: Foo_Conf and Foo_WS
8) Create New OSB Project: Project name: Foo_SB, OSB Configuration: Foo_Conf
9) Under Foo_WS project, right click Foo.java -> WebLogic Web Services -> Generate WSDL (created a .wsdl and .xsd)
10) Drag-and-drop FooService.wsdl and FooService_schema1.xsd from Foo_WS to Foo_SB
a) ERROR:
Description Resource Path Location Type
Could not initialize class com.bea.wli.sb.resources.wsdl.helpers.WsdlEntryHelper FooService.wsdl /Foo_SB line 1 ALSB Synchronization Error
...I have no idea how to procede. I've been using "The Definite Guide to SOA 2nd Edition" to guide me along. I'm stuck here because I want
to create a business service and proxy service utilizing the first Web Service Project I made (Foo_WS).
Any advice please?

Portal Runtime Error - CRM Business Package

Hi,
I've have installed Business Package for SAP CRM 4.0 60.2.3 onto my Netweaver Portal. My Netweaver Portal version is EP7.0 SP10. My SAP CRM version is CRM 5.0. I've also done the connectivity test for both Connector and Web AS. Both connection results are successful.
However, when I go to Portal to see the CRM iViews, it gives me an error as follow (this is one of them):
Portal Runtime Error
An exception occurred while processing a request for :
iView : pcd:portal_content/com.sap.portal.migrated/ep_5.0/roles/com.sap.pct.crm.container.SapCRM40.All/PartnerMngrCC/SrvCtr/Service/com.sap.pct.crm.channelmgmt.service
Component Name : null
Page could not create the iView.
See the details for the exception ID in the log file
I look into the log file, it says:
User PIAFUSER, IP address
HTTP request processing failed. HTTP error [403] will be returned. The error is [You are not authorized to view the requested resource.No details available].
If given SAP_ALL profile to PIAFUSER.
Appreciate any help on this.
Rgds,
Hapizorr Rozi Alias

Hiya,
first off, if your backend is CRM 5.0 you should use the BP for CRM 5.0 instead of the 4.0 one.
As you know, in SAP NetWeaver 2004s, the portal is installed as a usage type via SAPINST. Now for installing the Business Package for CRM 5.0 there's a SAP note because the installation process also goes via SAPINST.
Check out SAP Note 883948. The following sections should be particularly helpful:
Section PREPARATION -> Components of BP CRM (UT Code: BP-CRM)
Section INSTALLATION, esp. info on JSPM
Best regards
Dagmar.

Best Practice to implement Business Packages

Hello All,
Need some clarification -
What is the best practice to implement ESS/MSS Business Package onto Portal -
(1) Should I just import and configure the content OR
(2) Should I import, create a copy and then configure it? If yes, are there any points to be kept in mind?
All blogs/articles that have been published show to configure the standard content.
The requirement is to maintain a different prefix/namespace for each Portal content that comes along the business package?
Thanks,
Ritu

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
