ESS services are displayed as SAP GUI on ITS

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I am using ITS 6.2 patch 4. Single host installation. I have published all required services on ITS server. But when i am hosting menu using service PZm3 i am able to view only Menu side, not the right side service(bwsp). I am unable to choose any service and host them I shows error on browser.

It give me error as... object expected at line 501 char 54 etc..

Also when i host any service seperately on ITS i get to see only SAP GUI for them while i have already published complete service on ITS.

Can you please suggest me what could have gone wrong.

Thanks for your time,

regards,

Sudhir

Hi Sudhir,

the ..object expected at line 501.. error is because of JavaScript trying to execute some functionality and is not able to find the stuff it therefore needs. Most of the time JavaScript in ESS is held in a separate file or even in a separate services. For instance there is one called ess_global. As you are also not able to make a direct call to a service and end up seeing the SAP Gui for HTML I guess you do have problems with the publishing.

Ok here are some things you can check.

1. As you do have a JavaScript error. Please also make

sure that you do have JavaScript enabled in your

browser. I know it sounds stupid but I have seen it

happen.

2. Is IACOR running correctly. Meaning is it set up

to publish into the correct directories. There are

two directories one for the services which resides in

the installation directory of the ITS. This should be

something like c:\program files\SAP\ITS... but this

really depends on how you did the installations. The

second one should be inside your Virtual HTTP servers

directory c:\inetpub\wwwroot... or wherever your HTTP

server points to

3. If IACOR is correctly configured have a look into

the services and templates directory. Make sure

that you can find a file <servicename>.srvc in

the services directory and a directory <servicename>

in the templates directory. If this is not the case

you have not published the Service correctly.

4. Make shure that the user who runs the ITS service has

permissions to read the files in services and templates

directory

5. Go to SE80 inside the SAP System via SAPGui select the

configured IACOR publishing service in the settings

menu select the service you want to publish and try

to publish the service you want to call by itself.

Go back to your ITS installation directory and check

that the service got published correctly. If this is

the case you should be able to publish the service.

6. If no 5 works go to Transaction SE38 and call a report

named W3_PUBLISH_SERVICES. The report allowes you to

do masspublishing. Just execute the report do not put

anything in the input filed and you do get a list of

all available services on the SAP System. Via button

workbench settings select the ITS you want to publish

to and if this is a Testinstallation I would highly

recommend to select all services (with F5) and publish

all of them. This will take a while but makes sure

that even the services you do not get called directly

are published.
