What is the Web Dynpro tab on the portal page?

Newbie here...
I am confused between NDWS and the Web Dynpro tab on the portal page. As I don't have access to either right now, I need to know what is required by a Portal Content Admin to maintain an application. The Basis people do the JCO setup. Those are the only tabs I have seen when using the Web Dynpro tab from the portal, not NDWS. Seeing as I don't have access to either tool, and I have to ask for what I need and I don't know what I need... Been there?
I guess my question is the use of the two tools.
Thanks,

Thanks so much for a quick response!
So, the Web Dynpro Content Admin is normally a part of the content admin role. Hmm... I get a "you are not authorized" when I click that tab, even though I can do iViews, etc. and was told I have the content admin role. So if no one edited the rights of the content admin, I should be able to get into Web Dynpro Content Admin tool. Is this so? Is there any special user config, check box, etc in addition to the role?
Is the Dynpro content admin tool useful for content admins or content developers?
My Basis person does not want the content admin to be able to change JCO settings. Is there a way to give the content admin rights to everything in the WDCA except that?
Thanks again. I am a J2EE developer who volunteered to take content admin and content development roles and am trying to figure out what has been done here and what needs to be done. On top of that anyone who has been involved claims "I know nothing..." until I ask specific questions. It's just hard to know what the specific questions are.
I know, training... No money. Sigh... I am good at doing tutorials and reading manuals and experimenting, however, I need access to the right tools and permissions first.
Thanks again.

Getting Error while test executing the Web-Dynpro object.

Hi All,,,,,,,,
I am new to Web-dynpro and this is my 1st demo application.
Application simply contains two Views : First used to submit a field which is collected in the second view for display.
While test runnning the application as: Web Dynpro_Component -> Create -> Web Dynpro Application, I am giving the Plug name as 'DEFAULT'.
While testng the Web-Dynpro I get the error : Starter Plug DEFAULT does not exist..
Please suggest what is to be done.
Thanks in Advance........

Hi Valery,
thanks for this great idea. Indeed, there is no channel set up to communicate feedback/suggestions/questions to Web Dynpro tutorials or articles in a standardized way.
WebLogs can be commented on the WebLog page itself and they are announced in a special ;\ New Web Dynpro Weblogs which can be opened via the <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/uuid/49f2ea90-0201-0010-ce8e-de18b94aee2d">Web Dynpro Feature2Sample Matrix</a>. Actually the section 'Further Information' lists all related articles, WebLogs etc. These links are regularly updated so that the Sample Description Pages helps to keep all links to valuable information in a central place.
The 'Sample Description Page' should additionally comprise a section 'Discussion' with a link to the above 'Article Comment Thread' in the Web Dynpro forum. The reader downloads the material from the sample description page and also finds a link to the related 'Article Comment Thread' there.
For all new articles (which are combined with a related 'Article Comment Thread') the Further Information links could point to the 'Article Comment Thread' (which then itself links to the article) but not directly to the article resource. The reader can then also have look at the existing comments to the related resource. As an alternative the article PDF itself should have a permanent link to the 'Article Comment Thread' in the Web Dynpro Forum.
Please post your comments on this idea.

Hi Pradeep
Steps:
1. First create an instance for bapi and bind the instance to the bapi node.
Z<bapi name> zb=new Z<bapi name>();
wdContext.nodeZ<bapi name>. bind(zb);
2. Then if u have the import parameter u have to set them by using
 The instance of the above bapi.
 Zb.set<import parameters>;
3. If the bapi has a table parameters then the structure for the table parameters will also be imported
 In the model class.
4. Set the table parameters by creating the instance for that structure and using this instance set it.
 Z<Struct>itm tab=new Z<Struct>();
 Tab.set<table parameters>
5. Then add the structure instance to the bapi instance.
 Zb.add(Tab);
6. Then Execute the bapi after setting the import parameters.
7. If there is any export parameters, then get the values after execution.
Look at this thread for codes

The Web Dynpro application XssMenuArea is expired

Some of our clients when click tab "Employee Self Service" the
information menu wonu2019t be displayed and the screen has the following
error message: the Web Dynpro application "XssMenuArea" is expired,
please use the refresh button or restart the application.
When manually click the "restart" hyper-link, the screen leaves
blank. But the above phenomenon differs from clients. The Same account
in one PC is OK but in another has the error. We donu2019t know the Client PC
should install what kind of software or plug-in to run the "ESS"
application.

Can anyone expalin to me the following properties in the Web Dynpro Iview P

Hi all,
Can anyone expalin to me the following properties in the Web Dynpro Iview Properties Editor--
Authentication Scheme
Can be Merged
Default Entry for Folder
Entry Point
Show Debug Screen
Tray Type
Points assured for help

Hi shobhendra srivastava,
1) An authentication scheme is a definition of what is required for an authentication process. In the iView you can set what authentication process (UserName/Password, X.509 certificate, etc.) the iView requires. Find more information <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/90/52c43dac1bcf51e10000000a114084/frameset.htm">here</a>.
2) The attribute "Can be Merged" allows you to merge certain objects (worksets, pages, iviews) under the same point in the portal navigation structure. All objects with the same value for attribute "Merge ID" are merged together. The object with the highest value for attribute "Merge Priority" provides the name displayed in the navigation elements (tabs in TLN and links in Detailed Navigation)
3) Find a good explanation of the attribute Entry Point <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/4e/3e703e632c7937e10000000a114084/frameset.htm">here</a>.
4) If this parameter is "true" a debugging screen is displayed before starting the WebDynpro application. Make sure that the parameter DebugMode in the service configuration (=>Applications=>com.sap.portal.appintegrator => Service => Common_Configuration) is not 'false' if you want to use this feature.
5) The attribute Tray Type defines the design of the iView's frame. The attribute can take the following values:
fill: The content area appears with a background color
plain: The content area appears with a white background and a frame
transparent: The background is transparent and the content area appears without a frame
Hope I could help!
Best regards,
Martin

NW2004s: Assigning a custom theme to a web dynpro running in the portal

The situation is as follows:
Some web-dynpros (for java) have a custom theme, a theme which is not the default theme of the portal or the default theme for web-dynpros in general.
In NW2004 this worked as follows:
When starting a web-dynpro in the portal it checked if it was started with the right theme. If not the exit plug of the WD interface view was called with an Url of the WD application plus a parameter for the right theme.
This is the famous parameter sap-cssurl.
For that parameter there are some values possible:
1) sap-cssurl=http://<host>:<port>/irj/portalapps/com.sap.portal.design.urdesigndata/themes/portal/mytheme
2) sap-cssurl=http://<host>:<port>/irj/portalapps/com.sap.portal.design.portaldesigndata/themes/portal/mytheme
3) sap-cssurl=http://<portal>:<host>/webdynpro/resources/sap.com/tcwddispwda/global/SSR/themes/mytheme
The first 2 are locations of the portal environment, the last one is a location of the WD runtime environment.
As I noticed this must be a full qualified absolute Url including host and port.
This works in NW2004 for web dynpro's running standalone AND in the portal.
Now for NW2004s:
The 3 variants of the parameter sap-cssurl work for web dynpro's running standalone.
But now for web dynpro's which are integrated in the portal:
The exit-plug with an Url is not possible anymore, this leads to the runtime error:
com.sap.tc.webdynpro.services.exceptions.WDRuntimeException: Exit-Plug must no be triggered with an URL when running in portal. Use portal navigation instead to navigate to another application!
Okay, as a first workaround I tried the portal navigation,
but somehow the supplied parameter sap-cssurl has no effect.
The code for that in the on-startup plug of the WD component:
WDPortalNavigation.navigateAbsolute(
PCD_ID,
WDPortalNavigationMode.SHOW_INPLACE,
null,
null,
WDPortalNavigationHistoryMode.NO_HISTORY,
null,
null,
"theme_set=X&" + theme,
 theme,
 false,
 true
I used there absolute portal navigation and the parameter (sap-cssurl=...) is part of the launcher parameter and the business parameter in the call to WDPortalNavigation.navigateAbsolute.
But as I wrote above, this has no effect on the theme.
In the I-View the parameter "Supply portal theme" is set to NO, otherwise the parameter "sap-cssurl" is supplied twice (this can be seen in the poroperties of the web-page in Internet Explorer).
What I tried afterwards was setting the parameter sap-cssurl hardcoded in the "Application parameters" of the I-View. This doesn't work either.
My question is: Should this be anyway possible for a NW2004s portal?
Did anyone successfully implement this?
Kind regards,
 Erich Lind

Hi Erich,
I am facing the same problem. I am on 04 s and couldnot implement the custom theme to a web dynpro running in the portal. When I run the web dynpro app as stand alone, the custom theme applies fine. But when in portal, it takes the standard theme.
Was wondering if you figured this out.
Thanks

The Web Dynpro Application 'XssMenu' has expired

Hi,
we implement an ESS Scenario, with One Enterprise Portal 6.0 SP17, a mySAP ECC 5.0 System with ERP2004 and a seperate server with a java stack, because our customer don´t want to install and use a java stack on their HR/ERP systems. They want to minimize the performance.
After some configurations, we get the startpage for ESS. If I click on a service like travel management it has no effect. If I click the second time, I got an error "500 Internal Server Error" with the message
The Web Dynpro Application 'XssMenu' has expired. Please restart the application either with the refresh button or click the following link XssMenu.
Same error comes, if I choose travel management in the second navigation level and click the service. And same message on every service.
Now I tried anotehr way. I call the ess startpage directly on the external java stack. And here´s no problem. All WebDynpro-Services works fine.
Can anyone help me, why the WebDynpro Service doesn´t work in the Portal?
Best regards
Christian

We had exactly the same problem. We had multiple java servers and our switch was not retaining stickiness. So it would send the user to a different java server which hadn't got any session data for that user.
If this could be it, get something like httplook to do a trace of what is happening. We saw it switching java servers.
If you do not have multiple servers it could be switches chopping out cookies, causing the same issue.

The Web Dynpro component cannot be generated due to serious (syntax) errors

Hi everybody,
While I was developing a web dynpro application, I had an error but I couldn't understand this error. Before I took this error message, only I changed bound one context node to another context node in a RadioButtonGroupByKey.Therefore, when I pushed activate button, I took an error message.This error message said "The Web Dynpro component cannot be generated due to serious (syntax) errors". What does it mean ? How can I find out where is the error in the application. Also, I think the reason of this error message is about a BC problem. I am waiting for your comment urgently.

Hi ,
Just delete the context (by using the context binding) and bind the field with the correct node and try to activate .
One more suggestion is that after deleting the binding and before binding to other node check it that whether that binding was properly deleted or not.Some times its not deleting the binding.
Hopely my suggestion may work.

Satya

How to make use of Portal service in the web dynpro application

hi
I have some portal service and how to use that in the web dynpro application.
and also what is the main diff between Portal Component and web dynpro application.
do we required portal to run web dynpro application.
thanks
mmukesh

Hi,
>> I have some portal service and how to use that in the web dynpro application.
Yes. U can use Portal service in webdynpro. Check the link given by subathra.
>> and also what is the main diff between Portal Component and web dynpro application
Portal Components are components designed to run in portal server while webdynpro application can run in J2EE WebAS.
>> do we required portal to run web dynpro application.
No for general cases. Just WebAS is sufficient to run webdynpro appl. But if u use portal service in ur webdynpro appl, then make sure both (portal service and webdynpro appl) run on same J2EE engine. That is mandatory.

Web DynPro Behaviour when the Reload button is pressed

Hi,
I'd like to know what is the behaviour of the Web DynPro when an user presses the Reload button on the browser.
I'm asking this because I designed a WDP that has a view with some input fields, two button and a table to show the result of a search operation based on the content of the input fields.
Some of the input fields are text inputs and others are dropdown list controls. In some cases, e.g. after having performed a search, if I hit the Reload button the content of one dropdown list was shown in another dropdown list.
The dropdown lists and the other input fields are bound to some context attributes and nodes.
I'm trying to figure out why the WDP is kept in this 'dirty state' when the page is reloaded.
Thanks,
Pietro.

Hi Pietro,
a reload of the Browser causes every time a reload of WDJ-Application. That means the content in the wdDoInit-Method is executed and the UI-Input elements are in initial state.
If you want to store the selection in the Input fields and droodowns the only way is to store that in the session.
Here is an example to do that.
WDScopeUtil.put(WDScopeType.CLIENTSESSION_SCOPE, "ABC", "someValue");
Than you have to read this in the init-Methods.
WDScopeUtil.get(WDScopeType.CLIENTSESSION_SCOPE, "ABC");

Gunter
