No rendering

[Former Member]

I am working in ECC6, with abap rel 7.0 and basis rel 7.0

When I run a WDA application, it does not render properly. Only the text is diplayed on the screen.

There are no lines, no icons, no colors. The buttons are invisible. You can't see them but they work.

What's the problem?

Hi,

you might be able to see IE error warning symbol at the left corner of status bar. click it and click button Show Details.

sometime back we also faced the similar problem.

can you check Note 1269047. you may want to perform,

1) Start transaction smicm, select the menu Goto->HTTP Server Cache->Invalidate->Global in System

and click on the "Yes"-button in the popup.

2) Clear your browser cache as well and restart the browser.

Please do this activities and see if it works.

Thanks,

Chandra

I invalidated the server cache in SMICM but the rendering is still missing.

By using HTTP watch, we found this:

In the client rendering properly, the URL references the standard theme sap_tradeshow.

+ 0.784 0.001 0 0 GET (Cache) css http://ax20d03.au.oceania.intranet:8000/sap/public/bc/ur/nw5/themes/sap_tradeshow/ur/ur_ie6.css?7.0.22.2.0

However, when the web dynpro is run in the client that does not render, the URL references a custom theme .

+ 1.708 1 0.175 688 158 GET 404 html http://ax20d03.au.oceania.intranet:8000/sap/public/bc/ur/nw5/themes/CUSTOM/%20/ur/ur_ie6.css?7.0.22.2.0

Where is the theme setting maintained?

Fixed.

The problem is described in the below SDN thread and solution in the note:

Note 1332644 - WDA Application Parameters are not changed in all clients

Dear Christophe,

could you please be more specific, so that we can better help you:

- what WD are you referring to ? Is it a Standard or Custom ?

- does this happens with any WD ?

- does the WD render well when testing it with SE80 (instead of calling it from the Portal) ?

- what Browser are you using ? (you should use IE, by the way) Have you tried with a different browser, just to see the outcome ?

Kind Regards

Hi Ricardo,

It happens with any WD, custom or standard. I am using IE 6.0 and 8.0. I can't use anything else here.

I always test from SE80. So far, I have never seen any rendering.

see Note 1098009 - Limitations for Web Dynpro ABAP , if your problem is mentioned over there.

According to note 1098009, it should work. We have NetWeaver 7.0, SP22, IE8.

That's not the problem.

I just realised that in dev it renders properly in another client but not in the client I am developping in.

So it is not a problem of netweaver or IE version. It is a client specific issue.

We don't have Portal here. The thread above is about Portal.

WDA does not need Portal.
