Understandng the callable object within GP

Hi All,
I have basic question on callable objects in GP.
I would like to know how the Adobe form content gets persisted with in GP .
Example : We have 4 steps in a GP process , one requestor and two approvers. Each step is a webDynpro callable object.
Requestor fills a Adobe form and this request goes through two approvers and then to complete state.
Consider we have two fields in adobe form. For my understanding , we need to take care of the business logic within the webDynpro callable object which takes care of storing the two field data into a database(Maxdb or SQl).Is that correct ? Or GP will take care of storing the content also ?
2. Another scenario
Assume that the application context stored with in GP process
The system restarted/down after the requestor submits his request. In that case will that request gets lost or GP will take care of storing......???
Please correct me if my understanding is not correct.
Regards, Anil

Hi Sumangala,
Thanks for your response.
Lets consider I have 2 webDynpro callable objects..One is for requestor another for approver.
Requestor filled the adobe form in callableobject1 and submitted the request.For some reason j2ee got restarted or went down.
When requestor submits his request , GP will send the notification to the approver.So a task will be added to approver inbox.
So GP will take care of storing the process related information but not the content within Adobe or webDynpro application ...Am I right ??
I am just trying to analyze the overall behaviour of GP in all aspects.
Thanks, Anil

How do I embed a pdf document into an existing pdf so that the user double clicks on the pdf object within the pdf and it opens? i've looked everywhere on various forums and tried attachments - but still not working. Thanks

I've tried various methods but to no avail. I have a pdf document and within the pdf I'd like to embed a couple pdf documents so that all the user has to do is double click on the pdf object inside the pdf and it opens in a new window. I've tried using attachments to do it and linking it...but to no avail. Anyone know how to do? I'm using Acrobat Pro Version 11. Thanks

The "embed" feature common to MS Office applications is not applicable to PDF (for the why and wherefore of PDF get comfortable and read the ISO Standard for PDF - ISO 32000-1:2008).
You can insert other PDF files' pages into any given PDF.
You can attach files of supported formats to a PDF (of course a PDF is supported).
You cannot "embed". So, nothing is broken.
Be well...

Accessing the "Key Object" within a selection?

Is there a way to tell which object is the key object in a selection? I could find no reference to key objects in the scripting documentation.

what do you mean? "key" as used when you need to Align objects in the UI? since we don't have access to this sort of features, there's no need for a key object within a selection.

WD4VC Callable Object: No parser configuration entry for the tag Invoke

I am trying to use a Visual Composer model as a callable object. I can deploy OK (as a Web Dynpro model, having checked the copmiler options "Deploy Model with PAR" and "Add Guided Procedure information").
When I try to test the Callable Object, I get the following error:
com.sap.tc.wd4vc.intapi.info.exception.WD4VCRuntimeException: No parser configuration entry for the tag Invoke.
No idea how to get around this.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards,

Hi Mario,
We have only three runtime in VC 7.0
1. XGraph
2. Flash
3. Webdynpro.
In your blog on wiki Flex runtime is mentioned as given below:
Webdynpro runtime is not fully supported in NW04s and some tags may not be supported as stated in the error. The reccomendation is to use the flex runtime.
Is Flex runtime and Flash runtime is same ,
I have tried to deploy the model in Flash runtime and Portal runtime error ocurs by diasply renderning JSP Component,
But when i deploy it in Webdynpro runtime , it works fine for displaying data in Table.But gives error :No parser configuration entry for the tag ChartView , when i used chart in place of table .
Thanks.

Reusing the same web dynpro callable object

I have created a web dynpro callable object and I want to reuse the same callable object in all the actions of that process.
I am getting the current action ID in execute() method of interface controller in WDP callable object.Now I want to generate screens for different actions based on that actionID.
for Ex if(actionID ="1")
fireplug to second scrren.
else
to next screen
But I am not getting where to write this If eles condition to get different scrrens at runtime according to the actionID.
Can anyone please help me.

hi ritu,
to get the input and output parameter of the callable object in your view you do the following things.
1.you create the context elements in interface controller.
and assign the values of input parameters of the callable object, to the interface controllers context attribute value. using the following code.
IGPStructure input = executionContext.getInputStructure();
wdcontext.currentContextElement().set..urattribute name=input.getAttributeas..type of the attribut("specify your input parameter");
2.then map the context elements of interface controller to component controller,and then component controller context to view context.
Then we will get the input parameters of the callable object in view.
If you want any further clarification on this please explain your scenario detailly.
with regards

Info Callable Object of type SAP R/3?

Hi Friends,
I have designed a Business Process using CAF GP, in which, in one of the actions I have inserted an Info Callable Object of type SAP Transaction, though the callable object is working fine with the process,
I can see callable object in a limited area only,
 I am not able to maximize it, neither I can any scroll bars to scroll up and down,
so that I can see full R/3 window within the GP window,
Can anybody help me doing that?
Thanks
Deepak

Thanks David,
I got the solution
I have rewarded for the same,

Order of execution of Callable objects in an ExecutorService

what determines the order of execution of Callable objects in an ExecutorService ?
here is my test code:
 ExecutorService exe = Executors.newCachedThreadPool();
 Set<Callable<String>> tasks = new HashSet<Callable<String>>();
 for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
 Worker worker = new Worker(i);
 tasks.add(worker);
 List<Future<String>> results = exe.invokeAll(tasks);
 for(int i = 0; i < results.size(); i++) {
 Future f = (Future) results.get(i);
 String s = (String) f.get();
 System.out.println("__" + s);
public class Worker implements Callable<String> {
private int seqNumb = -111;
public Worker(int i) {
 this.seqNumb = i;
public String call() {
 double d = Math.random();
 int i = (int) (d * 10000);
 Thread.sleep(i);
 return (Integer.toString(i) + "___" + seqNumb);
}i ran this code within NetBeans on one XP machine. and ran it from the command line on a different XP machine.
the sequence is always:
*6*
*9*
*4*
*3*
*8*
*1*
*0*
*5*
*2*
*7*
the sequence should be random because of the random wait???
the sequence looks random. why does "6" come before "9"? why is "7" last?
yet, the sequence is always the same.
i can't understand the order of execution of the Callable objects.
note:
what i'm trying to do is implement my own version of the ExecutorService interface.
so, its important to understand the above question?

2. The order of execution is defined by the queue associated with the ExecutorService. Normally it is a FIFO, but one can imagine using a PriorityQueue, given some kind of priority implementation in the submitted tasks.just to be clear for others who may be reading this, the order of submission is controlled by the queue implementation (where submission is the movement of a Callable from a queue to a thread). once the Callables are passed to threads, their actual order of execution is undefined (where execution is the invocation of the "call" method).And not only that, but even if we knew that the order of execution were call1, call2, call3, that still doesn't tell us anything, since there's no synchronization here, and hence any thread can be swapped out at any time. Call1 could be entered, but then swapped out before it gets to print anything, etc.
Bottom line: When you're dealing with multiple threads, unless you use synchronization, wait, notify(All), or higher level java.util.concurrent constructs, you have no ability to control or predict what executes when.

Callable Object from another server?

Is there any way of setting up a Web Dynpro application or component as a callable object in GP that was deployed to a server other than the portal server? Our WD apps and components will not be living on the portal server but we would like to set them up as callable objects within GP.
Thanks,
Cindy

This is the document I followed to create a WD callable object. However, the deployed object does not show up in the list of available WD objects. Other WD applications also do not show up in the list if I pick the WD application as a callable object to set up. My assumption is that if these are not deployed to the portal they will not show up in the list. Are there settings or some configuration for the portal that will allow WD apps, etc. deployed to other servers to show up in the list as available objects?
Thanks,
Cindy

Problem in creating a callable object of type Business Logic

Hi SDN,
I am trying to create a callable object of type Business Logic in CE.
When I give all information and click Next, I get this error message.
Error while loading configuration dialog: Failed to create delegate for component com.sap.caf.eu.gp.ui.co.CExpConfig. (Hint: Is the corresponding DC deployed correctly? Does the DC contain the component?)
Can anybody help me out with this problem.
Regards,
Sumangala

Hi.
I'm having the same problem as Senthil in NW2004s SP15 with my application service and methods not showing up in the Callable Object wizard for Composite Application Services after I choose the Endpoint. The only application name that shows up in the wizard is caf.tc, and the only service names that show up for it are LDDataAccessor, Metadata, and PropPermissionService.
My IDE is on one machine and the application server I deploy to is located on a different machine. My endpoint to the remote application server looks to be correctly configured. The Composite Application Service seems to be deployed properly as I'm able to see it and test that it works in the Web Services Navigator <http://remotehost:50000/wsnavigator/>
My deployed application service is a remote enabled service and is also web services enabled as well.
I'm not sure if this is relevant, but I noticed that the generated Java code does not create any remote EJB interfaces (only home and local interfaces were generated).
Something else I noticed is that when I proceed to the External Service Configuration -> Business Entities screen <http://remotehost:50000/webdynpro/dispatcher/sap.com/cafUIconfiguration>, I only see three business entities displayed, and the following error message is displayed: "Corrupt metadata has been detected. This may prevent some objects from being displayed. Check the server log for more details." I was unable to find anything in the instance log files. Is the error message indicative of the problem?
I am developing locally without a NetWeaver Development Infrastructure (NWDI) in place.
I'm wondering if the credentials specified in the endpoint require any special roles or privileges.
Senthil, do any of these additional descriptions apply to you as well?

GP, callable object Web Dynpro Application (bespoke) not appearing in list

Hey y'all
We're developing our first GP, and we would like to call an existing bespoke Web Dynpro. When creating the callable object, we're selecting type Web Dynpro Application, but our Web Dynpro screen is not appearing in the drop down list on the next page. We think that this is because the application has been deployed to a different server (i.e. it has not been deployed onto the portal server).
So the question is, has anyone faced this problem before, and is there a solution?
Kind regards
Jon

Hi John,
Please have a look at this Exception on creating GP Action
This will solve your issue definitively. Do not take care of a given SDA, just redeploy everything and make sure that everything is overwritten by selecting the right option.
Best regards,
David

Web Dynpro application callable object error: Page Builder Not available

Hi, SDN Fellow.
I created a callable object of Web Dynpro application. The callable object is atatched to an Action, and Action --> Block, and Block --> Process.
I initiate the process in GP Runtime, when it comes to the Action screen the Web Dynpro application atatched to, I got the following error:
The page builder required to display this application UI inside the portal environment is not available.
As aa comparison, another callable object that atatched to a Web Dynpro component (that implement GP interface) is working fine.
Please advise.
Thanks in advance,
KC

Hi KC,
When you start your process from GP Runtime, does the actual action/callable object open in a new window?
Have a look at this SAP Note:
[Error when executing a GP task - Page builder|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes/sdn_oss_bc_gp/~form/handler%7b5f4150503d3030323030363832353030303030303031393732265f4556454e543d444953504c4159265f4e4e554d3d393831353137%7d]
Although the error message you are getting is different, but if your callable object opens in a new window, then the problem (in most probability) is the same as mentioned in the SAP Note.
Also, try testing the Web Dynpro callable object in standalone mode. For more information on this, see:
[Testing Callable Objects|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/4c/588041a17e060de10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm]

Problem to execute a Callable Object (SAP R/3 transaction) in UWL

Hi,
I have developed a callable object which calls a SAP R/3 transaction. It runs perfectly in design time , when I run it in UWL I am getting the Error "An error occurred while displaying the callable object, which uses the page builder. Check that the page builder is installed, and the transaction iView is available .
Please let me know your thoughts and suggestions.

Hi Wesley
According to me, it is because of some missing package that this problem is encountered coz even i have faced this problem w.r.t the UWL and then i imported the required packages and it worked.

ABAP Webdynpro as callable object to connect MDM Server

Hi All
if we want create MDM workflows in portal thru GP then we need to create the callable object initially which will integrate the MDM system thru MDM Apis
suppose if we choose the option of taking the ABAP webdynpro as callable object then what is the development efforts/Steps to involve for creating the callable objects.
i hope that we can use the ABAP wendynpro thru MDM ABAP APIs where we can integrate MDM data in ABAP webdynpro application.
can you please list out what is the Aims from enduser level and development level.
Please more details on this??

Model Execute Exception in a WD Callable Object

Hello,
I've been having some trouble making queries to a database through a Web Dynpro Development Component (GP Interface). I imported a Web Service and the calls are being made through there. I know that the Web Service works just fine as I've tested it through the WS Navigator. The problem occurs when I create the Callable Object and try to test it. The following message shows up:
WDWSModelExecuteException: Exception on execution of web service with WSDL URL 'http://server:50000/LetterStep34WS/letter34?wsdl' with operation 'getLetterById' in interface 'LetterStep34WSVi_Document'
I've tried redeploying the project, re-importing the web service model, and changing the package name where the model is imported but nothing seems to be working. Does anyone have any ideas? It´s becoming a pressing matter.
Thanks,
Luis T.

Felipe,
Check name of component used in Component Usage or in code: com.polar.excel.WDC_ExcelExport.
Seems that you mistyped the name.
