Deriving Portal Theme

[Former Member]

Hello.

I've integrated an WD for ABAP application in a Portal iView but the theme (css files) are not derived from the Portal Theme.

An other WD for ABAP application, soming from an other backend system, works fine.

I checked the parameter "Supply Portal Stylesheet" and it is set to "Yes" in both cases. The other iView parameters look fine as well.

Does anybody have a hint where else I can check the settings?

Best regards,

Dominik

Hi,

Have a look at

Check the version of all backend systems and portal.

WDFORCEEXTERNALSTYLESHEET

The Web Dynpro framework automatically compares the versions of the portal and Web Dynpro for ABAP style sheets. If the Web Dynpro for ABAP has a newer version, the WDA style sheet is used. This avoids unattractive rendering and JavaScript errors. Bear in mind that any customer branding will be lost. You can deactivate this behavior again using the WDFORCEEXTERNALSTYLESHEET application parameter.

Hi Karthiheyan ,

thanks for your reply.

I tried to pass th parameter from the portal but it doesn't work. However it works when I add it in the backend. Unfortunatelly it has bad side effects regarding the layout of the Web Dynpro application. Is there a way to see which is the current version of the stylesheet on the ABAP side?

Best regards,

Hi,

If theme of portal and WDA is incompatible there are chances of several problems in rendering.

To check the WDA theme version run the report WDG_MAINTAIN_UR_MIMES .

To find out the version of the SAP portal style sheets

1) Go to:

"System Administration" > "Support" > "Themes" > "Browse Theme Database"

2) Select your own theme and choose "Display Details".

You can also develop custom theme for you WDA

Have a look at

Google for StylesheetforWDAwithoutintegratinginSAP+Portal and look at the wiki

Be carefull in altering themes ,as deploying wrong format will spoil the UI rendering.A problem I faced after deploying improper format is that Iam unable to select an element in table or trigger a button so on.

Hello Srinivas,

this has to be performed in the NetWeaver Portal.
