What exactly is a business package?

and how do I create one?
I have some content (a par file loaded into and iView and placed on a page) I need to put it in a Business Package in order for it to be certified.
All the help seems to be on using them rather than creating them
    Vin

Hi Vin,
SAP defines: "Business packages are the delivery unit for portal content running on SAP Enterprise Portal. They contain pre-configured portal content structures that can easily be integrated into an existing portal infrastructure. These content structures should be developed according to the guidelines and requirements that are contained in this document. They specify how you should structure the content elements to maximize reusability of portal content and provide users with an intuitive user interface."

  • What is the business package for appointment calender

    In SAP GUI version we have appointment calender accessed by Tcodes SSC1 and SSC0
    what is the corresponding business package and iviews in the portal
    is backed calender fully synchronised with portal?

    Ross,
    I do not think there is a business package for your requirement. However, you could use the transaction codes to access them from portal or probably check this collaboration feature to see if it fits your requirement.

    Also we need to patch our stack to the latest SP. Latest SP available in market is SP11 as we prefer n-1 we planned to go for SP10, but in MOPZ while selecting the target it gives option only for SP11 in the drop down. Any reason for it ?
    As you could see our SAP-HR, EA-HR LSOFE are still in 600 release. If we select the target package in MOPZ to the latest will it upgrade the SAP_HR 600, EA-HR 600& LSOFE 600 components to SAP-HR 604, EA-HR 606, LSOFE 606 ?
    If I had to install HR-Renewal 1.0 I would need EA-HR 607 and LSOFE 607, so can that be included in the same stack ?
    Please advice.

  • Business Package for E-Recruitment

    Dear Friends,
    Can any one of you please do let us know what is the standard business package for E-Recruitment?
    We are using ECC6.0 without any enhancement packages.  We are having a addon for E-Recruitment. Name of the addon is  SAPK-60014INERECRUIT.  We are using EP 7.0.
    Do we need to deploy the business package in EP like we do for ESS/MSS or else is it only in R/3?
    Kindly do help us.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Sananthanan

    Dear Sananthanan,
    As per my knowledge there are no SAP provided Busssiness Pakage for eRecruitment,
    in our organization we have created the portal content for eRecruitment module,
    as we were also not able to get the required bussiness pakages.

  • Upgrade a Business package that is customized.

    Hi Gurus,     
    We have implemented the CPRXRPM_UI and Business Package for Project, Portfolio Management and Design Collaboration (PPMDC) on SAP Netweaver Portal.
    We copied some of the iviews and pages that we wanted, into our own custom roles.
    Now, is it a good practice to do this? And also, what happens when we upgrade? Does SAP upgrade its iviews and pages assigned to our custom roles too? If yes, is there any naming conventions that we need to follow? If we dont want the custom views to be upgraded, can we change the namespace to our own domain names?
    And also since these iviews point to WD applications in CPRXRPM_UI, would  their functionality change depending upon changes to the upgraded code?
    Please advise.
    What happens in other business packages upgrades? I did look around, but couldnt get the right 'search' query
    Thanks in advance.
    Anjana

    Hi,
    Well, it depends on the method you used to copy the content (iViews, Pages, Roles...). If you copied the content by delta link, your content will be upgraded but if you copied (standard copy) it then it won't.
    EDIT : here's a quote from the documentation :
    In both scenarios the advantages of the delta link method become apparent:
    If the source object is reimported into the portal at a later time with changes to its contents,
    these changes appear automatically in all the derived target objects.
    [Delta Links and SAP Content Objects|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/85/6b941c9795444c9b839d358c06242b/frameset.htm]

  • Creating a Business Package for multiple Target Audiences

    Hi,
    I want to create a business package that will be certified later.  The required target audiences are Line Managers and Specialists.  From what I understand, a business package must be assigned to <i>one</i> of the following: Every User, Managers, or Specialists.  I take this to mean that we must create two separate Business packages if we want to support both Line Managers AND Specialists. Is this correct?
    Thanks,

    Hi Kenneth,
    the formal requirements in fact are "the business package must be located <u>in one</u> of the folders specified below. The user type assigned to the business package (Every User, Line Manager, or Specialist) during registration determines your choice."
    Anyhow, the certification is a process which primarily cares about correct namespaces, namespace usage etc.  So if from your point of view the business package only makes sense to be distributed as <i>one</i> package, just decide which of the terms in question will make most sense. Then put your complete content under this area.
    Hope it helps

    Can you give me a step by step approach for setting up the ITS connections for these business packages and pull the data?
    I have created the sytem with same name as given in the error i.e.SAP_R3_SalesService
    I have given the ITS connection parameters for this system name.
    Now i went to "Connection Tests". Checked "ITS connection" and hit Test.
    Here it gives the following.
    Results
    1. The system object represents an SAP system.
    2. The following parameters are valid: wap.ITS.path (sap/bc/gui/sap/its/webgui) ; wap.ITS.protocol (http) ; wap.ITS.hostname (xxxx.xx.dir.xxxx.com:8080)
    3. HTTP/S connection failed. Make sure the protocol, host name, and user mapping are correctly defined.
    Step 2 says that the host name and protocol that i gave is correct.
    I did the user mapping under the link "Personalize".
    If i have to do the user mappping under User Administration->User Mapping, i am not able to see the sytem name "SAP_R3_SalesService" in the drop down.

  • What is best UI technology to use for custom business package

    Hi,
    I have a requirement to develop a custom Business Package for Treasury in Finance. With my past experience I am leaning towards Web Dynpro for Java.
    Client does not have any programming language consideration.
    Is there any body who has done something like this ? Can some expert suggest me if my choice of Web Dynpro might not be good and why?

    Hi,
    If you don't have complex business logics and lot of portal runtime interaction then webDynpro is the best choice considering the ease of development and look and feel.
    But your answer to the question is yes then you can think of java iView development along with webDynpro.
    Thanks,

  • Print functionality in MDM Standard Business Packages iViews

    Hi Experts,
    I have successfully connected MDM repository and EP and created system objects and system aliases and suitable user mapping. Now I am having a page with 5 iViews - Text Search, PickList search, Hierarchy search, Resultset and ItemDetails.
    The requirement is to have a print button in the page which when, clicked will generate a user friendly (preferrably a PDF) page and will allow the user to take a print out of the resulting PDF page generated.
    I have gone through the following links
    [Re: Print button;
    To be more specific, I am still not sure how to add a custom button and action to a standard iView - the deployed portal content is not a Web Dynpro application =, although I am not very sure what exactly is it.
    Regards.
    Rohit

    Hi vara,
    Question 1: How to add default search criteria to Search iViews in
    MDM Portal Business Package
    Ans. You can make use of Named Searches. Open the Data Manager Create a entry in the Named Search table, select the desired Supplier as a search criteria and save the search in the Named Search created and assign this Named Search to the user in MDM Console. Now use this user while performing User Mapping step. This will limit the Records to the search criteria of the named search and whenever you create new records satisfying the search criteria, it will get added to named search automatically.
    For 2 and 3
    I tried this in MDM 5.5 SP02, but no luck

  • CRM Business Package - Error while working with Iview

    Hi,
    I would like to know if any one had a chance to work with CRM Competitor Products Iview. I am using BUSINESS PACKAGE FOR SAP CRM 4.0_60_2_2. There is no problem is displaying the Iview, also I am able to work with the Iview, but when I try to open tabs, I am getting a fatal error. A run time error occurs and the iview doesn't work after that.
    the exact message is :

    Line 22
    Error : Invalid syntax.
    Since this is a standard package I don't know what this error means.
    Help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Hi Suresh,
    Similar Problem we faced for other IViews like Products, Accounts BSP Application from the SAME Business Package.
    Later we found that the error is not in Business Package, but the Version of IE Browser caused the Problem.
    Just for info we need to have the IE 5.5 or Greater (IE 6.0 is Best) After Upgrading the IE Version to 6.0, then we did not face this error.
    Hope its helpful.
