Importing PAR files into NWDS

Hi Experts,
Some questions that I hope someone can verify:
1. When we download a PAR file from Portal and import into NWDS, do references to JAR files not get imported? (for e.g. I see the Portal Logon component require adding of certain jar files)
2. What are the differences between the PAR files in the following path (downloaded via System admin>support>Portal Runtime>Browse ):
-ROOT/WEB-INF/deployment/temp
-ROOT/WEB-INF/portal/portalapps
Thanks,
ZM

Hi,
Whenever a PAR file is imported into the NWDS the JAR files will not be imported automatically.You need to copy it in the right location manually.
Regarding the second question , ROOT/WEB-INF/deployment/temp will have the complete PAR file (also I compared the size of logon PAR file)
-ROOT/WEB-INF/deployment/temp --356234
-ROOT/WEB-INF/portal/portalapps--4096
I guess the different path are for different necessity of the same portal application. While temp folder has the PAR file of the portal application, the portalapps might contain files and reference to launch the Portal application.
When you download from the portalapps folder you will not get the PAR file.
Any information on the second question are welcome..

3. I wanted to check the 1rst option i.e " a ".
4. I tried to Import the .par file into NWDS like this :

5. I searched in the forum on this scenario and I found that the libraries for this project are not automatically imported.
A .Can any one tell me how to import the libraries and which are all the libraries to be imported ?
B. How to test my PortalLogon Project without deploying ?
Is it possible to test this Project without deploying ?

Hi Deepu,
Usually Server will be having all the jar files and If you want to deploy your par file using NWDS you need to give a path to your Jar file location.
So better download all the jar files from your server and keep it in your local desktop.
Create a new folder called "JarFiles" in your desktop and keep all of your jar files inside.
Download Jar finder from IBM Site ( search for "Resolving Java Classpath Issues" in SDN ,you will get a pdf and follow it.).Add it as a plugin to your NWDS path.
Restart NWDS.
Now you can resolve the jar file issues.there are many weblogs /articles/forum QAs regarding this.
If u need more clarification,please let me know.
Thank you.

hi Deepu,
for simply displaying a URL, you can use the commonly available URL iView.
your folder->new->create iView->iView from template->URL iView and then enter your URL
for the other think.......
you can create an iView from PAR file.
your folder->new->create iView->Iview from PAR->then select your PAR and create an iView for that.
and the last one.......to see the effect without deploying it on the portal......refer the link
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/23/c0e240beb0702ae10000000a155106/content.htm
and the usual libraries to be associated are
htmlb.jar and
com.sap.portal.htmlbbridge.zip
Cheers........

Error while importing .par file into NWDS

Hi Experts,
For my query I saw a similar thread in sdn forum. the link is given below.

I have unzipped the par file and inside this there is no other par file. So I have to import this par file only.
Can anybody give some alternate way to resolve this.
Thanks a lot in advance.

Error while importing logon par file into NWDS.

Dear Friends ,
I m trying to customise the logon screen for my project. For this I have downloaded the "com.sap.portal.runtime.logon.par.bak" from portal server instance with the help of basis team. I have locally saved this file on my desktop[. I have renamed the file as .par and removed the .bak extension. Now I have tried to import the file onto NWDS in EP perspective by following File>Import>Par file. But its giving me this error:
error in opening zip file
Reason: Sorry, an error occured creating the new project.
The plugin "com.sap.portal.plugins.config-archiver caused an exception during the
"Unpack" Operation See log for more details.
In some of the solutions provided in SDN saying that after renaming the file to par open with zip if i done it is again showing the error as "Start of the central directory not found .Zip file corrupt.Possible cause :file transfer error."
Kindly suggest me the solution.
Thanks and regards.

Hi,
I think you have taken this file from a wrong path and hence this issue.
Pls download the par file from the below path and try importing it into EP perspective..
System admin> Support>Portal Runtime > Browse Deployment>
Browse through the following to find the com.sap.portal.runtime.logon.par.bak file:
WEB-INF u2013> deployment u2013> pcd
Root>WEB-INF>Portal>Portalapps> temp--> download the com.sap.portal.runtime.logon.par.bak
Regards,
Vijay.

Error While uploading PAR File into NWDS

and when i click OK on above Error
i get this errors : http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/571/error2v.png/
I am unable to upload the Par file did i miss something?
Regards,
Siva

Dear Siva,
that is indeed strange.
Still don't know if this could be an issue with your NWDS or the PAR itself.
So let's do 2 tests
===============================================
TEST NR. 1
Let's try and check the NWDS first by creating a custom PAR.
Don't worry, it's easy.
Just open your NWDS and go to the top menu
File > New > Project
Inside the popup window that will open please choose
Portal Application (on the left) and Create a Portal Application Project (on the right)
Then give any name you would like (no spaces or dots, etc...)
You now have a Portal project created on NWDS ( you will see a folder on the left side with your project name)
Click on that folder with your LEFT mouse button and choose EXPORT
Choose PAR File
Choose your Project
Choose a path where you want your PAR file to be saved. (uncheck the deploy PAR file, but check the include the source code).
And click Finish.
Now delete the project you have created (by clicking on the folder with your LEFT mouse button again, but chose DELETE project)
Now you're ready to re-import the PAR file.
===============================================
TEST NR. 2
Maybe your standard PAR file that you've downloaded doesn't have the source code included or is corrupted.
Please try to open it with a ZIP program and check what type of structure/files you have there.
Have you also checked your NWDS log ?
You could also share here that log, so that I can better help you.
Kindest Regards

How to import ear files into nwds

Hi,
i have some ear files how can i import then into NWDS.
Thanks
shikore
Edited by: kishore shikore on Feb 10, 2010 5:18 AM

Hi Kishore,
try through this -
1) File--> New > Project>Java> Java Project> Project Name--> Choose the unziped Earfile path as the DictionaryPath.
and if you get an error asking that '.project' file is missing, then you can create the project explicitly in NWDS & copy ur src files in that project.Then u can create the ear file using that project.
Hope this helps.

Error importing *.SCA file into NWDS: Import (into source SC) not possible

All,
When attempting to import an SCA into a new project in NWDS, an "Import (into source SC) not possible: SCA doesn't contain DC sources" occurs. Any assistance to fix this issue appreciated.
Thanks,
Lee

You can indeed import SCAs into local development configurations in NWDS (Eclipse). You have to have a pre-existing software component of the same name and vendor which may or may not be empty.
In the Development Infrastructure perspective in NWDS 7.1, just right-click on the software component you want to overwrite with the import and choose "Import".
To import SCAs into a CMS track in the NWDI, you have to go to http://<NWDI server>:5<nn instance no>00/devinf/ and import the SCAs from the transport inbox directory of the NWDI server. Don't forget to maintain the SLD if necessary.
Cheers,
Thorsten

Imported par file to NWDS, jar file missing. Where find par file structure?

Hi All,
We want to implement idle session timeout on the portal. We found a wiki here on the subject. In order to implement the solution we need to make adjuestments to com.sap.portal.navigation.masthead.par.bak. When we import this par file to Netweaver Developer Studio, the libraries and jar files are missing. So obviously it errors then in portal as files are missing.
So I could add them manually but I don't know what the file structure is on this par file so don't where to add what. Does anyone know?
Also when I export the file after manually adding the missing files, will it export all the files or will it behave the same way as the import and leave out the additional files?
If anyone could help, I'd really appreciate it,
Kind regards,
Liz.

Hi Bala,
I thought of that just before you responded and it worked!! Thanks for the response..

Problem while deploying new logon screen par file via NWDS

hi
i have a problem with deploying .par files out of the NWDS.
i want to change the look of the logon screen in our EP Portal (SAP NetWeaver 2004s).
when i just import the (working one) par file into NWDS and deploy it without ANY changes i get then an error when trying to call the portal:
instead of the logonscreen i get some IView error (like IView: N/A).
if i just copy the par file, and put it back to the pcd, everything works fine.
my problem seems to be the "compiling/deploying" via NWDS.
any suggestions?
i followed the guide:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/23/c0e240beb0702ae10000000a155106/frameset.htm
i followed also the BLOG:

and the help:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/23/c0e240beb0702ae10000000a155106/content.htm
thanks for your help.
markus

Markus,
If you import the par file using NWDS, most likely you wouldn't import the associated jar files (I think 2 jars) that are originally part of the par file. So, when you make changes and update your custom jar, it would lack the two jars and your application would fail. Try downloading the par file using System Administration -> Support -> PCD Administration -> Browse Deployment..
Save the jar file on desktop and then import it to NWDS.
Hope this helps,
Kiran
