WebDynpro iView OR Transaction iView

Hi all,
in EP, there are many types of iView. but I want to focusing in one type of iView only.
So, I want to know which one is better,
WebDynpro iView or using Transaction iView.
is there any documentation from SAP?
like Security, Performance, System requirements between those two.
thank you.

Hello Adyt,
Answer might sound typical theoratical
Selection of WebDynpro iView or SAP Transaction iView depends upon the client's need.
WebDynpro Applications are used when we want to create our own reports with specific branding colors,theme, adding buttons, customised selection criteria for generating report.
Transaction iView on the other hand is used when client wants exactly same look and feel of R3 , using Enterprise Portal.
Sometimes SAP transactions can't be converted into application, e.g. SAP internal Mail box (Transaction SWBP).
In such cases no other option than using Transaction iViews !
About requirements, SAP logon pad needed to be installed on the user's terminal to see transaction iView with iView type selected as "SAP Gui" iView.
You can bypass this need by selecting iView type " Web Gui"
For webdynpro you need to have NWDS(Netweaver Development Studio) for application development and java skills as well.
For transaction iView you need to have user mapping between Enterprise Portal and the backend System.
To view WebDynpro iview one does not need user mapping.
Thanks and Regards,
Pradnya

Launching transaction iview frm webdynpro iview

Dear experts,
I am launching a transaction iview from a webdynpro iview. On click of button it launches the transaction:CV02N.
The screen variables are: DRAW-DOKNR and DRAW-DOKAR.
I am using absolute navigation.
the code is as below:
WDPortalNavigation.navigateAbsolute("ROLES:"path,WDPortalNavigationMode.SHOW_HEADERLESS_PORTAL,null,null,WDPortalNavigationHistoryMode.NO_HISTORY,null,null,"DRAW-DOKNR="docnos+"&DRAW-DOKAR=DRW&OkCode=/00",null,false,false);
I can see the name value pair in the URL of the transaction iview which opens in the new window. But I just see the initial window of the transaction and I need to enter the parameters again to see the result.
Is there any way to see the result directly?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards,
Rahul

Dear Piyas,
Thanks for reply.
If you see attribute: "DRAW-DOKNR="docnos"&DRAW-DOKAR=DRW&OkCode=/00"
Here docnos is a string which takes value dynamically.Rest of the values are hardcoded.
When I launch the transaction iview, I can see the values being passed in the URL.

Visibility of SAP content (webdynpro iviews) in SAP GUI for windows

Hi
Is it possible to view SAP created webdynpro for ABAP content (previously only used through portal) through the standard GUI for Windows.
Even if it is a transaction that kicks off a url, that links to this webdynpro iView, but the backend needs to be used.
C

Hi,
You don't need a portal to use WD ABAP applications. The WD ABAP application will be launched in a standard browser window.

Is this a problem of my installation or are there some prerequisites which I miss?
Many thanks in advance for any input on this.

How to call Java WebDynpro iViews from Portal (Portal Content Directory)

Hello everybody,
I am trying to call a Java WebDynpro iView, which was created within the Enterprise Portal and is stored in the portal content directory (pcd).
I have created an HTML-iView in VC, where I have put in the pcd-link into the default-url field (pcd:portal_content/com.sap.pct/every_user/com.sap.pct.cprxrpm.ppmdc/com.sap.pct.cprxrpm.iviews/com.sap.pct.cprxrpm.iviews_cprojects/com.sap.pct.cprxrpm.cpr_projects). This iView is calling the cProjects WebDynpro Application. But after I run my model, the portal page is running and running, but nothing happens.
I did the same with transactional iView, which was also created in the Portal before. I have also created an HTML-iView in VC, where I have put in the pcd-link into the default-url field (pcd:portal_content/IBU_content/SAP_for_Service_Provider/com.sap.pct.issp.ps.professional_services/com.sap.pct.issp.prs.iviews/com.sap.pct.issp.prs.display_sd). This is working fine!
What I also tried is to call another VC-Model with an HTML-iView. Here I have put-in into the default-url field the pcd-location of my VC-model (pcd:portal_content/IBU_content/SAP_for_Service_Provider/com.sap.pct.issp.vcmodels/com.myComp.myProduct.1DM9.CreateEngagement/com.myComp.myProduct.iviews/com.myComp.myProduct.1G62.Cprojects_neu). This is also running fine!
Now I do not understand the difference between this three objects. There are all iViews within the portal but the WebDynpro iView is not callable through a HTML-iView in VC.
Could you help me in this case? Your help is very appreciated!
Thank you in advance.
Best regards,
Aylin.

Hi Marcel,
when you mean the preview within the portal, yes, it is working fine.
URL is not the way to solve my problem. I am working with IDES-Systems. This is our Demo System within SAP. I have to build my VC-Model in a Master IDES-System which will be transported than into the other IDES-Systems. The URL of the WD is not the same in the other systems. It is changing depending on the several Sysems. But the pcd-location is in all systems the same. Therefore I have to specify the pcd-location of the application.
Is there a restriction with WD within VC?
If we can do some kind of a netmeeting, I can show you my problem exactly.
Thank you.
Regards,
Aylin.

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:
Portal Network - Content Sharing
Hope it helps you!

Function or method which returns the full PDC path of webdynpro iview

Well in ABAP, we don't have portal APIs to access potal catalog info.
The only available Portal Interface is IF_WD_PORTAL_INTEGRATION

Webdynpro iView link to role specific iView Navigation

Hi Friends,
I have links in my WebDynpro iView.
When I click on Link, I get popupwindow.
in one role, user will be able to see the popup in editable form
in another role, user will see the popup as displaying information only.
This iView needs to be integrated in Portal.
How should it be done:-
1. create two iView's:- one with display popup, another with editable popup window on click of the link.
in this case, two iView's will be created , and will be integrated in portal with different roles.
2. create one iView.. common.
and, instead of popup, create another IView.
in this case, how to access another iView of link clicked window... to display popup one for display, another for update.
in this case.. first page will be common for both roles, the second iView.. will be different
If want to implement in this way, how to access another iView as per role from the link of an iView.

ABAP WebDynpro iView with window id problem

We have a custom ABAP webdynpro iView that is part of a dynamic navigation. When the iView loads the following warning message is displayed...
An error occured while starting the iView.
Application
https://<server>/sap/bc/webdynpro/sap/WebDynproComponent/;sap-ext-sid=J2IlkGCm4WYvxnfaQC8bVgY0oAX5DVVY3z_8GGDYcLow
will run with wrong client window ID!
Do not continue; please report this problem to your system administrator.
Once you click 'Ok' on the warning message....the webdynpro iView is displayed.
How do you not have the message display?
Thanks.

If the user is using link from favourites of browser, Ask him to delete it and manually enter the url and Try.
In my case, The user just deleted the saved link from Favorites and tried entering the url manually,
though it is weird it worked.
or else try these Notes 1450543, 1171930 .
