Retrieve the PCD of the webdynpro Iview

Hi!
I have created an application with just one View. How can I retrieve the PCD of the iview of this application in the wdDoInit()?
I want to be able to retrieve: portal_content/roleA/worksetB/pageC/iviewD. Another example is portal_content/roleX/worksetB/pageC/iviewD
I'm able to get this when I place a button on the page, and click on it. In the button's handler I'm getting the parameter "sap-wd-appwndid". But this parameter isn't available in the wdDoInit().
WDProtocolAdapter.getProtocolAdapter().getRequestObject().getParameter("sap-wd-appwndid");
How can I get the same result in the wdDoInit();?
Thanks!
Tom

Was your second iVIew in the same folder as the first iView? And if so, would you mind providing the parameters you used to make the navigation? I have a Web Dynpro iView that has a button that needs to navigate to a Transaction iView in the same Portal Content Directory folder, but am not sure how to do it.
Any help would be appreciated.

List iView properties of PCD content in WebDynpro

Hi,
I'm having trouble listing the properties of iViews as I traverse the PCD in my WebDynpro application.
I get this error: java.lang.ClassCastException: com.sapportals.portal.pcd.gl.PcdGlDeltaLink incompatible with com.sapportals.portal.pcd.gl.IPcdContext
My code:

Any help?

Hi Raju,
If you are talking about "portal_content/epiuse/com.epiuse.dj/com.dj.epiuse.iviews/com.epiuse.ooq4" this is just an iView that I created.
But the problem occures for any iView PCD location I provide.
Thanks in advance,
DJ

How to: display the pcd in a htmlb tree object?

Hello @ all,
I'm currently trying to implement the contents of the PCD into a htmlb tree structure for an application of mine.
while the tree creation isn't a problem, i have no idea where to start on how to read/parse the pcd structure.
the reason for me trying to stuff the pcd into a tree is to achieve an easier to handle navigation.
so of anybody could point me in the right direction as how to get access to the pcd porperly and how to get the complete pcd structure (folder, iviews, everything) so that i could include it in the tree, i would be really thankful.
cheers,

Hi Jürgen,

Only Worksets and Roles are not described, anyhow, doing a bit research via decompiling or just by searching on SDN will bring you the needed extra info; just as an example for roles access: https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/6112ecb7-0a01-0010-ef90-941c70c9e401

SAP Portal Network - WebDynpro iView and SAP Application iView sharing

Hello All,
I've read about the restrictions in SAP Portal supporting the WSRP standard for application sharing. Mainly WebDynpro iViews and SAP application iViews sharing is not supported. That is in the case of a SAP Portal as producer and Non-SAPPortal as consumer.
I'm interested in a WebDynpro iViews and SAP application iViews sharing in a only-SAP Portals Network, where SAP Portals act as producer and consumer.
I've heard about the Remote Role Assignment and Remote Content Copy that are used in such case. I would like to ask if anyone knows if these can help overcome the restriction in sharing WebDynpro iViews and SAP application iViews that is present with WSRP? And if the advantage of WSPR, that is the application execution and rendering on the producer side, and as follows decreasing of bandwidth usage, is remaining in the case of the Remote Role Assignment and Remote Content Copy.
Thanks,
Mladen

Hi Manish,
for sharing content between SAP and non-SAP Portals, your case, refer to
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/43/23fb36cad10d23e10000000a1553f7/frameset.htm
All the possibilities and restrictions of WSPR in the case of SAP EP are explaind there.
For sharing content between only SAP Portals refer to my other thread:

Logon Language in Java WebDynpro iViews

Hello,
I do not see the Logon Language or Forced Language parameters on the standard delivered Java WebDynpro iViews at all. I want an iView to always open in EN regalrdless of the Browser language. I can do that in ABAP WebDynpro and URL iViews; any idea how the same can be done on the JWD iViews?
Thanks,

Selecting English locale in IE is the only easy way to ensure the langugage is always English
There may be ways to try to set the language to english for
I have seen some situations where the JCO is defined in language English
- however if the user can still change IE locale - this might supercede any default languages
set in SAP or produce mixed results

WebDynpro iView doesn't show initial screen

Hi,
I've a strange problem in calling an process from a Web Dynpro iView. Instead the expected 1st form in Action1 I only receive the text message: "Process has been initiated".
The strange thing is, testing the processes in "Initiate" tab in Design Time allways runs fine with the first screen.
This problem occurs with sap delivered example processes too. For example I tried the SAP delivered example "Time-off process".
My steps are:
1. check for related action-role is set to "Initiator".
2. Generation URL.
3. Initiating by "Initiate" tab from DesignTime.
4. Process opens with the first step form correctly.
5. copy the init string into WebDynpro iView.
6. starting Web Dynpro for Java iView
7. Instead the expected form, I only receive the text message"Process has been initiated"
I suppose something is wrong with my WebDynpro or role settings, but I don't have any idea anymore.
My settings in Web Dynpro for Java iView are:
Application: AInstantiation
process.template.id=7CE44B...&process.autostart=t
Namespace: sap.com/cafeugpuiinst
Authentication: default
In Portal I own J2EE_admin, GP Superadmin, GP Runtime WC and GP Business Expert roles.
Thanks.
Michael

Hi Sujana,
thanks for your message again. I checked my parameters again, but couldn't find any problems there.
Requestor ID
I have been inluded all of the generated parameters from Design Time into my Web Dynpro Proberties. The first action of the process is set to Initiator. I think in this case the user assignment should be manged by the system automatically.
Namespace:
Also the namespace sap.com/cafeugpuiinst is definitly working. When I changed this to an other value, I received an application-error after starting the iView.
Layout
I'm not sure about the required layout. Which are the requirements? Is there a special layout for my page, which is including the Web Dynpro iView, necessary?
..But my Callable Object only needs one iView I think.
How I call the process
My structure in calling this process is:
User chooses entry in User-Menu -> User assigned Role -> Page (standard layout) -> Web Dynpro iView -> GP Process initiate
I posted my configuration here, maybe you can take a look at this please?
My properties for my Web Dynpro are the following:
Application Name: AInstantiation
Application Parameters:
+process.template.id=7CE44BF090BF11D99817000D60B211F1
&EndDate=&AbsenceTypeText=&BeginDate=&process.autostart=t
&SimulationCode=&CompletionCode=&ShortTermCode=
&CompletionMessage=&Comments=&SimulationMessage=&PaidFlag=&LongTermCode=+
Namespace: sap.com/cafeugpuiinst
GP Design Time
And the parameters generated from URL generation in GP Design Time (starting with button "open instantiate application" is working) are:
+../../sap.com/cafeugpuiinst/AInstantiation?process.template.id=7CE44BF090BF11D99817000D60B211F1
&EndDate=&AbsenceTypeText=&BeginDate= &process.autostart=t
&SimulationCode=&CompletionCode=&ShortTermCode=
&CompletionMessage=&Comments=&SimulationMessage=&PaidFlag=&LongTermCode=+
I pasted the parameters of this string exactly into the application parameter field of my Web Dynpro.
Thanks again.

Michael

How to retrieve the system used in an iview?

hello,
i'm currently having trouble retrieving the proper attribute of an iview to retrieve the system used by it.
it seem like the strings identifying the system in the iview differ in some iviews.
using either:
myIView.getAttribute(IAttriView.PORTAL_SYSTEM)
or
myContext.getAttributes("").get("System").get().toString()
produce errors.
while get("System") sometimes provides the correct system alias the attribute is none existant for other iviews where the string would be "Systemalias".
IAttriView.PORTAL_SYSTEM doesn't seem to work at all.
i did implement fail safe code if the attribute isn't present, however i don't know how to retrieve the system attribute without doing a case switch or something similar for all the different strings, which i would prefer not to do.
also, is there an easy way to retrieve all iviews which use a specific system without parsing the whole pcd and checking the attributes?

Prerequisite : Create the System Alias for the systems used in the application.
Use the below code to retrieve the system details:
        HashMap mapattr = new HashMap();
        HashMap map = new HashMap();
        IUser user = WDClientUser.getCurrentUser().getSAPUser();
        IPrincipal principal = (IPrincipal)user;
        ArrayList list = UMFactory.getSystemLandscapeWrappers();
        ISystemLandscapeWrapper systemLandscape = (ISystemLandscapeWrapper)list.get(0);
        //Portal System ALias name
        ISystemLandscapeObject landScapeObject = systemLandscape.getSystemByAlias("<system alias name>");
        IUserMappingData userMapping = (IUserMappingData) UMFactory.getUserMapping().getUserMappingData(landScapeObject,principal);
        userMapping.enrich(map);
        mappedUserId = map.get("user").toString(); // String "UserId"
        mappedPassword = map.get("mappedpassword").toString(); //String "Password"
     catch(Exception e)
          e.printStackTrace();
          wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportException("Exception during retrieving the User Details - " + e.getMessage(),true);

Create webdynpro navigation iview in the Homepage on the ESS portal

I am trying to create a webdynpro navigation iview in the ESS portal. I haven't created a workarea navigation iview in 2 or 3 years. However, I think there was a a template in there called 'Webdynpro Navigation iView'.
Some of the parameters that are on those navigation iviewws are Application Name, Appication Parameters(it contained
info like -> sap.xss.menuarea=ZWTAREA&sap.xss.menuargrp=ZSAPDEFAULTESS&sap.xss.menuhdr=SAPDEFAULT).
I would be grateful if someone could tell me how to create this kind of an iview.
Thanks,
Mike

Hi Mahesh,
We are Adding Travel Management to 3 of our roles. The out of the box ESS Travel Management application works fine. However, we need to add it 3 types of employees. Based on the type of employee we want them exclude some of the services. I created 3 area's in spro. I am just trying to get one of them to work right now. To get one of the areas to work, I've done the following things.
1) I created iview Travel Management NT Nav . I created it using the parfile thing and selected WebDynproIntegrator. The iview looks a little different that the Working Time Nav(This is one that we created for Working Time about 3 years ago. It works.).
2) I created a proxy Web page under the page folder
3) I linked the page and the iview together.
4) I created the resource ZTRAREAN in spro
5) I created the area ZTRAREAN in spro and set it's link to resource ZTRAREAN.
6) I assigned 3 SAP Travel Management subarea's to my area ZTRAREAN.
My goal is to get some of the sub areas linked to my new area. After that I will look at creating my own subheadings which will exclude some of the services that are in out of the box Time Management sub area's.
Thanks,
Mike

Getting Java iViews out of the PCD? Idiots guide please!

Hi All
I am having a real problem with configuring my portal, the contentent provided by SAP meets most of my needs but I am finding a few areas where I need to make changes (hopefully small ones!)
I have used Netweaver Developer Studio to create Reository services and I have heard that you can use it to change iViews (oh, and create new ones!)
What I want is, if possible a step by step guide to:
1. Locate an iview / PAR file in the PCD
2. Export it and open it it NWDS
3. Re-package it up and import it back in!
I know it is alot to ask and there are other posts but I can't seem to follow any of them.
Thanks for your time
Phil

1-to find out which PAR files are required for an iView, look at the properties of the iView. To download the PAR file (which will usually contain the source code) go to the Java Development workset, followed by Portal Browser followed by ROOT/WEB-INF/deployment/pcd path and click on the Download link corresponding to the PAR.Bak file. It will download as a zip file. When you unzip it, it will be a .par.bak file. Remove the .bak extension, rename it to your own company prefix (com.mycompany instead of the com.sap prefix) then import it into NWDS.
2-after you've made the changes, you can re-deploy it either using the File > Export wizard or you can go to the Java Developer > PRT Admin and upload the PAR file.
3-Create an iView based on the newly imported PAR from the Content Admin workset, using the New from PAR wizard (just right click on the folder in which you'd like to create the iView in and click on New from PAR), choose the PAR file from the list and click Next.
let me know if this helps and whether you need more help.
