Development and administration methodology

Hi,
I am looking for information about portal development and administration methodology (How to manage the PCD, iViews, Roles, user groups, etc... ?)
Any personal experiance tips and suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Elad.

Hi Elad,
I think a good start is help.sap.com. Take a look at the following URLs.
Portal Administration Guide:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/34/76bd3b6e74d708e10000000a11402f/frameset.htm
Portal Developer Guide:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/19/4554426dd13555e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm
You will also find some stuff in the overall Development Manual:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/de/21/82a9058fa8de46b1ba7522289345b2/frameset.htm
Depending on your personal strenght you can do your portal development in e.g. HTMLB jof JAVA. You'll find some infos on that here:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/fd/01f34026d70b06e10000000a155106/frameset.htm
http://www.sapdesignguild.org/resources/htmlb_guidance/index.html
Or you can try out some Visual Composer stuff. Take a look at this URL:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/27/7c7d404d84cf62e10000000a155106/frameset.htm
If you are more into ABAP you can of course try out the latest WebDynpro for ABAP but this works only for NW 2004s. You'll find a lot of information here on SDN. Look at the current frontpage!

Development and marketing of SAP EP solutions - any licenses required?

Hi
Not sure which forum to post this in, so - maybe Coffee Corner is a good start
My question is about the licensing required to development and marketing small add-ons / extensions for SAP Enterprise Portal.
Is it possible for the individual developer to develop and market small add-ons for EP in Java WDP, making use of a trail EP installation?
Do you need a special license for this (to develop commercial products)?
Maybe like a [SAP NetWeaver Developer Subscription|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/subscriptions/development?refer=subscriptionslandingpage], or the [SAP Composition Subscription|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/subscriptions/composition?refer=subscriptionslandingpage]?
Reading up on the [Subscriptions FAQ|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/subscriptions/software-faq#q-4-5], and it is not very clear:
Can I use my developed add-ons, extensions, developments, or modifications in a production environment?
In order to run your add-ons, extensions, developments, or modifications in a production environment, you need to purchase the applicable license from SAP. SAP customers or partners who already have an applicable license can use SAP NetWeaver in a production environment.
So-
"SAP customers or partners who already have an applicable license can use SAP NetWeaver in a production environment"
I'm not expecting to run the SAP NetWeaver Developer/Trail version you get with the subscription in a production environment - the question is would any prospective buyers of your developed add-ons be able to run these in their (fully licensed) NetWeaver / EP production environments?
(I feel this FAQ is not answering its own question correctly).
Purchasing a full EP license is a little out of my budget, and even the two developer subscriptions mentioned above are only available in Germany & the USA (and I reside in neither of which).
Any suggestions from the guys & girls of the Coffee Corner?
Thanks!

I am not a lawyer, but my interpretation of this is that the subscription systems are for "sneak previews" of releases and experimenting with the software to see whether you like it or not...
So this means that if you do development work on it and want to use it in a production environment, you will need a full license to run the software productively first, and then add your development to that licensed landscape.
This is a different topic to licensing your own development. For this you would need to become a solution partner and request your own namsepace in SAP, and then license it as optional software via service.sap.com.
For the "little individual" like you and me, this is not really an option IMO.
In some special cases, I have seen external coding included in the standard system, and you get a special mention for it sometimes in the coding comments.
I was thinking about the same as well because I am busy experimenting with a tool for making dual maintenance of roles during upgrades easier and know a few customers who would be interested in such a tool (possibly controlled centrally by a SolMan CTS+ with after import rule sets).
Being ABAP, I think I could try to sell it once or maybe twice... but after that I expect it would be "in the wild" and see others posting it here on SDN as well...
On the otherhand, ABAP is more of a hobby for me and I am not a guru at it like many others here. If I were to post it here myself... then I could benefit from other contributions to improving it and making it more robust - like an open source project.
Just some thoughts,
Julius

Error while Installing and Starting SAP Widget Development Tools

Hi All,
I have downloaded Eclipse: eclipse-SDK-3.3.2-win32.zip from http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.3.2-200802211800/eclipse-SDK-3.3.2-win32.zip
I am following the link: https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/c032ae0a-7d6b-2a10-14a1-cc6efb066dfc
for Installing and Starting SAP Widget Development Tools as an Eclipse Plug-in
I am very new to it, So I was following Step by Step procedure.
On the 16th step I am getting an error:
AP Widget Templates (0.12.0.1167) requires feature "org.eclipse.gef (3.3.0)", or equivalent.
I had download the SAP Widget Development Tools.zip file from https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/downloads?rid=/webcontent/uuid/b03b6544-c741-2a10-8999-ed04eb2b2c71
While unzipping the eclipse-SDK-3.3.2-win32.zip, there were two errors:
The System cannot find the file specified &
The file name or extension is too long.
I ignored them and continued the unzipping.
Please guide me as to how we can solve this error.
Ankur
Is it because I am using Eclipse 3.3.2 and not 3.3.0? If yes from where I can download Eclipse 3.3.0
Edited by: ankur malhotra on Jul 25, 2008 7:36 AM

Hi Ankur,
This happens sometimes because of the Eclipse that you use. Download the Eclipse JEE Version. When you go to eclipse.org and try to download eclipse you can do a comparision of the versions there, You download the version which supports all the web features.
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/eclipse-ide-java-ee-developers/ganymeder
Check the above link you will be able to see the package details. Please download this Java IDE for EE developers and try installing the SAP widgets foundation then, If you are facing any problems in installing the plugins thru local archived site please let me know.

Sai

CRM ABAP development and interaction with SAP R/3

Hi Experts,
I am an ABAPer and have close to 3 years of development experience in ABAP, now i was trying to understand how exactly a CRM system is intergrated with SAP R/3 . Below are few of the basic question i have
1. How does R/3 interact with CRM, searching in the forum i just got to know its through RFC . Can anyone give me specific technical details like how R/3 and CRM interact in a real time scenario .
2. Ca any one also give me an real time development example that was done in CRM to interact with SAP R/3 and explain me the basic steps involved in it, this might give me clear picture of how developments happen in CRM and also how CRM and SAP interacts with each other .
Your quick response would be greatly appreciated .
Regard's
Sudheer V

with repect to programming , it is similar to R/3 ABAP devlopment . It all depends on scenarios:
1) For eaxmple we use BADI's to put some extra validations / additional data when you are creation order
2) unlike R/3 where we use SAP GUI trnsactions for creating orders, in CRM we have IC web client techonolgy where we can create orders through web.This is based on BSP technology. In order to add additinal fields on the screen for we use easy enhancment workbench tool(EEWB).this is something new in CRM when compared to R/3.

How to access SAP netweaver development Studio and PDK?

Hi All,
I have access to EP server on my machine with super admin role .Is there any way I can acess SAP netweaver Developer Studio and PDK through EP server or I have to install in my local machine?
Thanks in advance,
Jasmine.

You'd want to install the NWDS application locally no matter what (unless everyone has a thin client/citrix connection via dumb terminal). You can however, opt to install a local instance of EP or use a central instance. Here's how I see the two approaches:
1-install the NWDS on developers' machines and deploy to a development instance of EP
PROS:
i-developers can develop locally and only connect to the EP server for deploying/testing
ii-share development (although not very efficiently) and test each others' iViews etc.
iii-demo your work online to business users directly
iv-connect to the corporate SAP R/3 and other ERP systems
CONS:
i-you can only use this while connected to the network
ii-could be slow over a slow/remote network connection
iii-developers may not be able to do everything on the portal server (may not have super admin access)
2-install the NWDS on the developers' PC along with a test EP environment
PROS:
i-develop and deploy locally, without a network connection, anywhere and anytime, fast and efficient
ii-enjoy full access (super admin) to the Portal - to be able to test pretty much everything
CONS:
i-may not be able to connect to the company SAP R/3 and other ERP systems, unless you're connected to the network and have configured the connections
ii-not able to get others to test or demo your development without having to port them to a central EP instance
I think a developer needs every resource they can get, therefore I suggest a combination of the above two scenarios, an instance of EP locally and a central instance of EP for the best of both worlds

SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio 2.0.5 and PDK

Hello,
when i installed the sap netweaver developer studio 2.0.5 have then i the pdk installed to, or have i to this separatelly? And when yes what i have to do in this case(how to install that?)? Which are the difference between with and without the pdk?
Tanks in advance,
Frank

The PDK contains documentation, examples, javadocs, and sample code for developing portal applications. You don't technically need the PDK to develop EP components, but it sure helps.
The plugins in SAP NWDS facilitate building and testing portal applications by creating the correct project structure within the Eclipse IDE (NWDS) and also assisting with the deployment of the application (creation of PAR files and uploading them to the portal). Again, you can build EP components without NWDS plugin, but the plugins sure make life a little easier. I do know people that use other IDEs and Ant build scripts for their EP development.
Hope this helps,
Will

SAP Netweaver Developer Studio and MDK

Hi,
I've the same problem of this thread with NWDS 7.1 SP11
[SAP Netweaver Developer Studio and MDK;
No one have solved the previous thread, there are any one that have a solution?
Best regards,
Alessandro.

HI,
the easiest solution for this: use the MI7.1 plugin for MI7.1 projects and create the JAR file for MI7.0 manually by Export funtion of Eclipse. This works fine and should be the only workable solution.

SAP BW(NW2004s) Development and SAP BW Production(NW2004s) on Single Server

Hello Experts,
Currently we are having BW development and BW production on seperate IBM iseries servers with AS400.
Can we have dev and prd on same servers. What would be the implications of this landscape.
Please provide me the links for documentation (if any).
Waiting for the reply.
Thanks and regards,
Vinayak
Edited by: VGM on Apr 16, 2009 12:37 PM

I wouldn't put the two systems in the same server.
Simply... you'll find yourself with a single point of failure, any downtime required for OS maintainance or failure will affect the whole environment, having the two system in the same box could affect performance (depending on the resources available)... etc, etc....
In my opinion having a 2 tier environment is not ideal... and having them in the same box is even worst.
Thats my 2 cents

ISA Extention and SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio

Hello all,
Does anybody know how can I use the SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio for modifying (Extension) the b2b isa application starting from (war) or (ear) files. ?
Thanks,
Djamel

Djamel
I assume that B2B application is already running in the Server .
1. Create a Web Module Project in the NDWS.(File --> New --> Web Module Project)
2. Select the Project Name, right click -->Import --> Browse --> Select the ROOT folder of the B2B Application already running in the server. Check Mark on the root.
3. Click Finish .
This creates the Customer B2B Project for you in the NWDS.
Also , its worth to have a look at the follwoing threads
(CRM-) ISA-developers: How do you work with NWDS? which deals with the most of the problem & solution for the problem & how do we achieve it. Its a good start.
Thanks
Jack
