Is BPEL In Built in SAP Netweaver?
Hi,
I am new to SAP XI,could someone please help me on the below query.
Could someone please clarify me if BPEL is inbuilt in SAP Netweaver or do we need to use it as a plug in.
I could not get any articles helping me how to develop BPEL using Netweaver?
I already have experience on websphere tools which have an inbuilt BPEL GUI where we can develop our process,can i know if it is the same case here if not what is the process to build a BPEL using Netweaver.
Please Help!!!
Thank U
Madhavi B
Thank You Benny !!
I understood that SAP uses ARIS for business process developement but still i could not get any tutorial which shows how a BPEL is imported into Netweaver and how integration is done?
Thank You
Madhavi

SAP Netweaver Mobile 7.1 Signature Capture
Hi,
Has anyone applied signature capture feature on a customized mobile application built on SAP Netweaver Mobile 7.1?
Please contribute the concept on how you have done it.
Thanks,
RobertHello Robert,
On the UI side the signature capture requires a custom control that you can develop in SWT and integrate it to your OCA application. I think the it is hidden behind interactive forms functionalities. I tested that feature and a custom signature capture when I was at SAP so it is possible
You then have to securely save that signature and send it to the middleware/backend. You are free to store it the way you want locally but you need to send it using attachment on DOE. There you can have special code to handle the attachment and save it on the backend.
Hope this helps,
Julien.

Migrating SAP NetWeaver WebDynpro 7.0 Applications to WebDynpro 7.3/7.4
Hi,
We are trying to migrate applications from SAP NetWeaver Portal 7.0 to 7.4. The applications were created using SAP NetWeaver WebDynpro Java 7.0 and we're trying to import the Development Components (DC) using SAP NetWeaver Development Studio CE 7.3. However we're encountering an error after rebuilding and repairing the applications
Error Details:
Generation of component ****Comp is terminated with an exception (com.sap.ide.mmservices.wd.general.NoWebDynproContentException: No Web Dynpro content found for project "***". If this project is a Development Component, check if "SapMetamodelWebdynproContent.zip" is present in the classpath.) [Error: com.sap.ide.webdynpro.generation.eclipse.GenerationEclipse Thread[Worker-29,5,main]]
The project was not built since its built path is incomplete. Cannot find the class for com.sap.mw.jco.JCO$Client.
The type com.sap.mw.jco.JCO$Client cannot be resolved. It is indirectly referenced from required .class files
Any ideas regarding the errors?
thank you.Hi,
thank you all for your replies.
there are no longer errors anymore before deployment. However, once we deploy we encounter a build error.
here are the details:

Voting Thread for the SAP NetWeaver ABAP Developer Edition for Linux
Hi Everyone,
as Mario Herger suggested in the discussion to his Blog [New Community Developer License is available|/people/mario.herger/blog/2010/01/20/new-community-developer-license-is-available] I start the topic requesting a SAP NetWeaver ABAP Developer Edition for Linux.
Best regards
GregorI think having a pre-packaged VMWare machine running on Windows or Linux would be great as it would help a lot of the non-Basis consultants get a system up and running. Perhaps even offer it as an AMI package on AWS so that hardware is not an issue.
I'd also like to see the traditional installation packages offered as many technical consultants use the build as a process to look at installation issue and post installation configuration.
I think both the pre-built and build it from scratch approaches have an audience here on SDN and I'd like to see both being offered.
In fact I'm just looking at the new license options one of which come with the DVD's which is ideal but at a price!
Thanks,
George M-A -

SAP NetWeaver is a web-based, open integration and application platform that serves as the foundation for enterprise service-oriented architecture (enterprise SOA) and allows the integration and alignment of people, information, and business processes across business and technology boundaries. It utilizes open standards to enable integration with information and applications from almost any source or technology. SAP NetWeaver is the foundation of SAP xApps and mySAP Business Suite solutions, and also powers partner solutions and customer custom-built applications.

Licença de SAP Netweaver Portal para Processo de B2B
Pessoal, boa tarde!
Alguém sabe me dizer se para utilizar o SAP Netweaver Portal para os processos de B2B é necessário comprar licença SAP ou está incluso no pacote onde a empresa compra o GRC e o PI?
Essa licença do PI que a empresa tem direito nessa compra, é somente para o processo de NF-e ou ela pode utilizar para integração com outros processos e sistemas?
No aguardo, obrigado.
DaniloDanilo,
a licenca do NFE inclui:
- Netweaver runtime: licença Web AS (ABAP e Java) para rodar os componentes SLL-NFE e SLL-NFE-JWS.
- PI runtime: exclusivamente para utilizacao das interfaces do XI Content de NFE (SWCV SAP SLL-NFE 1.0).
Se vc precisa do PI para outras interfaces e/ou precisa do Portal para disponibilizacao de telas para clientes/fornecedores, essas licencas realmente estao fora da licenca do SAP NFE 1.0.

SAP NetWeaver 7.3 AS Java install error in Install Java Engine phase
Hi All,
I am doing my first installation of SAP NetWeaver 7.3 AS Java on Windows Server 2008 R2 with Oracle database 11.2.0.3, this is a domain installation.
I have been following the SAP Installation guide and everything has been going well but I am now stuck with an error in the Install Java Engine phase of the installation.
The error message I am receiving is:
An error occurred while processing option SAP NetWeaver 7.3 > SAP Systems > Application Server Java > Standard System > Standard System( Last error reported by the step: Process call 'C:\usr\sap\E1D\J00\exe\jstart.exe pf=\\sourcing\sapmnt\E1D\SYS\profile\E1D_J00_sourcing -file=C:\usr\sap\E1D\J00\exe\startup.properties -nodename=bootstrap -launch' exits with error code 1. For details see log file(s) jstart_bootstrap_J00.log.)
When I check the jstart_bootstrap_J00.log it is empty.
I have done some searching for a solution for this error and it seems it may be related to the database not running. I can confirm that I have run lsnrctl start and also, in sqlplus, run startup; both commands showed that the starting of the listener and database were successful.
Does anyone know what might be causing this error?
Many thanks
DanHi Srikishan,
In C:\Program Files\sapinst_instdir\NW73\INSTALL\NW73\ORA\STD the file jstart_bootstrap_J00.log is empty.
In C:\usr\sap\E1D\J00\work there was no jstart_bootstrap_J00.log file, however there was a file called log_bootstrap.0.log, the contents are:

Problems with installation SAP Netweaver ABAP 7.0
Hello, can someone give me an adice on installing SAP NetWeaver ABAP 7.0 trial version, please?
After installing the application server and SAP management konsole and stopping the application server following message pops up. The same message pops up after installing SAP GUI and starting the application server again.
Can this be caused by bad installation of MS Loopback Adapter on my Windows Vista?

Please see how I installed MS Loopback Adapter:
Download the DevCon compressed file, and then extract the files:
a. Visit the following Microsoft Web site for download: DevCon
b. Save the Devcon.exe file to a folder on your computer, and then open the folder.
c. Double-click Devcon.exe.
d. In the Unzip to path box, type the folder where you want to unzip the files, and then click Unzip.
e. Click OK, and then Close to complete the unzip process.
2. Install the Microsoft Loopback Adapter:
a. At a command prompt, change directory to the folder where you extracted the DevCon files.
b. Change directory to the i386 folder.
c. Type devcon.exe install %windir%inf
etloop.inf *msloop, and then press ENTER. You see output that is similar to the following:
Device node created. Install is complete when drivers are updated...
Updating drivers for *msloop from C:WINDOWSinf
etloop.inf.
Drivers updated successfully.
Can someone help?
Thanks a lot.
MilanHi Milan,
I´m sorry but i think i´m not able to help you so much. I´ve just installed SAP in my Laptop but with XP-Professinal. At first i had some troubles too and at the end i had to reinstall it to make it run properly so i think i cannot help you very much. Sorry.
Despite this, take a look at the detailed instructions of how to set up MS Loopback Adapter when you execute the file start of the SAP installation. You can check if the MS Loopback adaptor is working or not. And do not forget to search messages in relation with errors (-24700,ERR_DBMSRV_NOSTART, etc...)
Maybe it´s a silly question but it´s really stopped the database ? when you open the SAP Console the server and the database are in grey ?

Installation of Enhancement Package 1 in SAP NetWeaver 7.0
Hello,

We download the kernel 701 for Windows 64 unicode with SQL, and we install in the system, when we start sap the part java don't started the process sapcpe.exe "could not be started" .
We have tried with the kernel 15 and 23 of release 701, but this don't ok.
We can connect to the part ABA and JAVA, but the Kernel isn't update, and in the console of sap the process sapcpe.exe is in red with the message could not be started"

Can you help us with the error?
Kind RegardsHello,
Because when we import the packages of ECC 6.0 EPH4, the system return the error:
"OCS package SAPK-701DHINSAPBASIS requires at least Kernel Release 701 with patch number
0000"
And the package SAPK-701DHINSAPBASIS is a prerequisite for import the package with the release 604 (ehp4).
The package that we need import is:
sap basis 701
sap aba 701
pi basis 701
sap bw 701
sap bs fnd 701
webcuif 700
sap appl 604
sap hr 604
ea appl 604
ea dfps 604
ea finserv 604
ea gltrade 604
ea hr 604
ea ps 604
ea retail 604
finbasis 604
erecruit 604
lsofe 604
sem bw 604
The package are the prerequisites for import the EHP4 in the system.
Kind Regards
