SUP Hybrid Web container Offline Mode

Hello,
I tried out a workflow example on blackberry simulator(using hybrid web container),but when i am in offline mode,the example doesnot work,so i had a doubt whether hybrid webcontainer supports offline mode,or do we need to do anything in the code,to support this.
regards
kaushik

in the SUP documentation it is mentioned that offline support is provided,refer the link

SUP - Hybrid Web Container - Development / Customization on Custom.js file

Hi experts,
1. To perform customization on the Hybrid Web Container from SUP 2.1, we usually edit the Custom.js file.
2. Now in the development tool which is our Sybase Unwired Workspace, it uses Eclipse and that is where we usually edit the Custom.js file.
3. However, to test out the changes in the file, we have to re-deploy the package to the SUP and then see the difference in the device.
4. Is there a way to debug the Custom.js file, or to put a breakpoint to track and troubleshoot if there is a bug?
5. Has anyone done customization and used some tool that can allow developers to debug their changes?
6. It would be very difficult to fix bugs if there is no way to use breakpoints or debug.
Please advise.
Thank you.

Hi Hari,
Try checking out [this video from sybase|http://t.co/qTJHzUGI] on how to debug the JS part of the Hybrid web container. Should help you out.

Brenton.

Hybrid Web Container: Overriding Generated Files

Hey Experts.
I am working with SUP 2.1 Mobile Workflow or Hybrid Web Container applications. I was curious if anyone out there has been able to modify the template files for when a Mobile Worklfow is generated?
Specifically my use case is to display header and footer in Android and Blackberry. These by default are not shown. For example in the generated workflow_jQueryMobileLookAndFeel.html file string on line 1821 we have the following JavaScript:
            $('div[data-role="header"]').css('display', 'none');
            $('div[data-role="footer"]').css('display', 'none');
I of course can undo this in the customBeforeShowScreen method but prefer modifying the template for generation of the html file as it is arguably 'cleaner'.
There is an instance where an override wont work such as the above example. I also want to show my headers without the default back button. In the jquery.mobile-1.0a4.1.js file on line 1607 there is an option that enables the back button by default when there are no other buttons. Again I want to show the header on the login screen but dont want to show a back button - its not relevant:
$.widget( "mobile.page", $.mobile.widget, ,
          keepNative: null
Any ideas? Thanks.

There are a few approaches you can take. When using the designer, you can inject the changes via JavaScript, as you have noted. You can also include the changes in files jquery.mobile.fix.js or jquery.mobile.fix.css that will get included after the jquery mobile files are included. You can also include changes in files that don't get overridden like API.js or Utils.js.
Another approach is to turn the Generate checkbox off. Doing so will break the lnk between changes made in the designer and the generated code, but it will leave with a nice easy way to continue to repackage and redeploy your changes.
Finally, you can stop using the designer altogether and manually create the .zip file and its contents.

Changing the Header in a Hybrid Web Container app on BlackBerry

Hello Experts!
I am trying to add a custom header to Hybrid Web Container Apps on SUP 2.0. It would be nice to add branding or additional text - even the ability to center the text would be nice. I have tried various jQuery approaches and can see the changes working when I test via Chrome. However when deploying to my BlackBerry simulator the changes are not reflected. If I had to guess - it would appear the entire Header area is not modifiable. To add more context to the problem review the generated code below from workflow_jQueryMobileLookAndFeel.html
<div data-role="page" data-theme='a' id="ErrorDetailScreenDiv">
      <div data-role="header" data-position="inline">
       <h1>ErrorDetail</h1>
     </div>
Recall that each screen is a div with the data-role attribute page; similarly the div with data-role header is the area in question that I am trying to modify.
Here is the jQuery I am using in the customBeforeWorkflowLoad method in the Custom.js file.
$('[data-role="header"]').each(function() {
          var dvHeader = $(this);
          var elem = dvHeader.find('h1');
          var h1Str = elem.text();
          elem.empty();
          dvHeader.remove('h1');
                //function buildHeader returns html text of a div etc
          var txt = buildHeader(h1Str);
          dvNewHeader = $(txt);
          dvHeader.append(dvNewHeader);
Again when testing in chrome the text is removed and the new header is added.
If I had to guess - I would say the Workflow application which wraps around the Hybrid Web Container App is interfering; I assume the workflow (native) application reads the h1 tags and the header we see on the device is the workflow app and not the Hybrid Web Container. My other guess would be the Header area is somehow locked in the BlackBerry scenario.
Thanks.

Hello,
Yes I was aware of the customBeforeShowScreen method of adding a screen header. I believe in my testing I determined for ListView-based screens and credential screens the dynamic header is not shown and only works on pages with an HTMLView.
Doesnt it seem a little silly to have two headers?
Example:
Login Page
Logo \ Login Page \ Custom Text
Screen Body
I will accept that there is not a method to replace the header at the very top of the screen.
Thanks for your time and help!

Hybrid web container Broswer : hwc.showUrlInBrowser

Hi Guys
SMP 2.2
HWC(2.2.4)
iOS (os7)
I am using the above method (hwc.showUrlInBrowser) to display a website inside a hybrid app using Hybrid Web Container.
It works great for websites that do NOT require basic authentication.
The issue I am having is that if the website requires basic authentication then the hwc browser hangs on loading.
Another issue I have is that the browser session does not pick up the authentication for the hybrid web container.
I am already logged into a back end system using the HWC, but when I access a url in the back end using showUrlInBrowser, authentication fails.
Any ideas/views greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Andrew

Hi there,
There is some good documentation from Sybase on how to format a DCN from the SAP side [Here|http://infocenter.sybase.com/help/index.jsp?topic=/com.sybase.infocenter.dc01284.0210/doc/html/title.html]. Its probably easier to follow that documentation and relate it specifically to your requirement than to write out a long example here.
On the SUP side you will need a rule in your workflow to detect and act on the notification but that is also covered in the documentation above.
Hope that helps,
Brenton.

Hybrid Web Container support of HTML5 Drag and Drop

Good Morning Experts!
Testing HTML5 drag and drop capabilities on iOS devices and simulators
it doesnt appear to work. Searching Sybase/SAP documentation and
unable to find whether Drag and Drop is supported in the Hybrid Web
Container.
I did test a jQuery plugin for drag and drop and it tested successfully on a BlackBerry Simulator (but not on iOS):
http://www.stevefenton.co.uk/Content/Jquery-Mobile-Drag-And-Drop/
Does the Hybrid Web Container support HTML5 Drag and Drop
capabilities?
Is there available documentation on HTML5 support for the Hybrid Web
Container?
Thanks!

Bob do you know which one is the source? The link goes to a whole directory

IFrame in Hybrid Web Container / Sybase Unwired Platform

Hi,
I'm completely new to this and have a hopefully simple question:
I'd like to display additional content in an SUP on mobile devices.
Is it possible to add an iframe and display content from a web server?
if this is possible can i communicate with this frame using JavaScript?
regards
Ralf

I believe this is possible. Have you tried it?
If not, add an htmlview to your screen, create a key for it and assign it to have a default value such as <iframe src="http://www.sybase.com" style="width:300px;height:400px"></iframe>

SMP 2.3.3 Hybrid Web container testing with iOS 8 beta

Hi Experts,
Our HWC container version is 2.3.3.6966 and our SMP version is 2.3.3
Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks and Regards,
Sreeni Jayapal.
Message was edited by: jitendra kansal

In SAP support portal, we can only see up to SMP 2.3 SP04PL01, from where we can download this patch?
Is this patch (SMP 2.3 SP04PL02) solve the HWC application compatibility issue with iOS8?
Thanks

Workflows in web dynpro java

Hi experts,
please guide me about the workflows in web dynpro java. i have to implement workflow outside SAP, i dont have any idea about it.

Dear Shilpi
For Configuring Workflows outside SAP we need to have a Gateway HUB where it channelizes to connect through Outside SAP. Based on the Tasks available in SWFVISU we can choose either Java or ABAP workflow where the Appropriate Task numbers will be available.
Check these links

Trigger workflow from web form

HI Experts,
I have a requirement to trigger workflow when a web form is completed through a portal and saved.I also need to perform certain validations on the fields in the web form before triggering the workflow.The web form would then go the proper approvers and then I need to send notification messages on Approval or Rejection.I am at loss of thoughts as to how I can achieve this functionality.
I also need to send reminders to the approver every 2 hours till he takes some action.
Any suggestions would be of great help and would be rewarded appropriately..
Regards,
Narsingh

Hi Narsingh,
the solution depends much on the web form you are implementing.
Is this a standard portal application you are working on? Or are you developing also the form from scratch?
The previous answers just tell how you can trigger a workflow if the application doesn't trigger it itself.
If the web form is a standard application or built with process frameworks like HCM Processes and Forms/ISR/PCR, then the event is often published by default without any customization.
No answers, just questions...
Kind regards,
Mikko

Invoke Workflow from Web Dynpro for Java Application

I am working on a custom web dynpro for java application and when the user clicks the submit button the SAP standard workflow (WS50000041) should be invoked. Does anyone have experience they can share with me on how to achieve this functionality? It should also be able to attach an adobe form or read data from the form and submit the data as xml.
Thanks,
Ashley

Hi Ashley,
Use following code in RFC to invoke your workflow -
DATA : w_subrc TYPE sy-subrc,
            w_wi_id LIKE swwwihead-wi_id.
CALL FUNCTION 'SAP_WAPI_START_WORKFLOW'
        EXPORTING
          task                      = ' WORKFLOW - WSxxxxxx '
          language                  = sy-langu
          do_commit                 = 'X'
        IMPORTING
          return_code               = w_subrc
          workitem_id               = w_wi_id
        TABLES
          input_container           = it_container
          message_lines             = lv_swr_messag
      COMMIT WORK.
With this code your workflow will get start. But u have to use workflow id in next application also in which your request is getting navigated. In that application you have to take this workflow ID and have to pass again in workflow using - PortalNavigation statements.
After that this workflow will get start to publish in your TaskList (My Task) in Portal. Remeber that your all task should be maintained in workflow table by using SWFVISU transaction.
After that go to Portal and Re-Register your UWL so that your new Workflow ID will get usable in portal.
With this way you would be able to use workflow with Web Dynpro Java using UWL and Workflow.

Roshan Gupta
