SAP DS 1.2 - Error message when running an SDK component

[Former Member]

Hi,

I started developing components using the SDK.

I checked the component locally and it seems to run fine, but when I run it on the BI platform I get an error message and the item doesn't appear.

I took the sample clock component provided by sap and I get the same error:

• 

  Web Item with name CLOCK_1 could not be found in current Web Application

  Web Item with name CLOCK_1 could not be found in current Web Application

• 

  Web Item with name CLOCK_1 could not be found in current Web Application

  Web Item with name CLOCK_1 could not be found in current Web Application

• 

  Web Item with name CLOCK_1 could not be found in current Web Application

  Web Item with name CLOCK_1 could not be found in current Web Application

• 

  "ITEM" of type "COM_SAP_SAMPLE_CLOCK_CLOCK" could not be generated

  "ITEM" of type "COM_SAP_SAMPLE_CLOCK_CLOCK" could not be generated

Anyone familiar with this error?

Thanks,

Eitan

Hi Eitan,

Did you install the add-on on the BI platform?

Cheers,

Alex.

[Former Member]

Sorry but I'm not familiar with an add-on issue.

Can you explain or add a link?

Thanks,

Eitan

[alexandre_dussac]

no problem Eitan, here is a document:

https://websmp110.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700001110462013E/ds12_admin_bip_en.pdf

You can check section 6.1.3.

Hope it helps.

Alex.

You are right I did skip this step, but when trying to install on platform I get this error:

Hi Alex,

thanks for this helpful hint!

Maybe you or anyone else could help me one more time.

My app works fine in local mode. But if it try to install it on bi-platform, I get the error:

one or more extensions failed to install

Failed to access plugin JAR file of extension...

Do you know, where the problem could be fixed?

Br,

Dirk

[mike_howles4]

https://websmp110.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700001110462013E/ds12_admin_bip_en.pdf

Based on section 6.1.3, can you make sure you are in the Design Studio Admin group on BO?  Also, if you've deployed the plugin, did you remember to restart the APS that's running your DS service?

[mike_howles4]

Actually, it sounds like this is already tread ground, based on other replies.    Hmm. Guess I can try to reproduce the issue on my end.

[mike_howles4]

How about the Dev Guide section 3.3?  (Specifically, section 3.3.3 - Creating Deployable Feature)

http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/AAD12/en/ds12_dev_guide_en.pdf

[mike_howles4]

See if you are able to install the attached sample addon and then deploy to your platform.  (Remove the .txt)

SampleSuperImage.zip.txt.zip

[draschke]

Thanks for your help!

"make sure you are in the Design Studio Admin group on BO? "Yes, I did!

"restart the APS that's running your DS service?" No, I didn't. Because I couldn't find any point in the installation guide. Sure, I have to do this?

[draschke]

yes, i did all the points of "3.3 Adding an SDK Extension to a Design Studio Installation" step by step.

[draschke]

Mike, I can deploy your sample. So, there is no authorization problem.

But there is still a further problem. If I try to deploy your sample on bi-platform, I see only a white webside "/BOE/OpenDocument/1311291059/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp"

It works fine on local mode!

[mike_howles4]

So you are certain you are attempting to deploy a .zip addon and not the debug mode (running from Eclipse to DS) version?  Also, download my deployment addon in my message and see if that one works, so be sure.  It worked on my workstation and 4.1 platform.

[mike_howles4]

And you restarted the APS after deploying yes?

[draschke]

Please, could you give me a screenshot of your feature properties.

I would like it to compare with my properties.

I guess there could be a mistake.

[draschke]

Sorry, but I'm not sure, if I can follow you.

Do you mean the Adaptive Processing Server?

If yes, from where I've to do this? CMC?

[mike_howles4]

Yes, in the CMC, restart any APSs that are running your Analysis Services.

Servers -> Service Categories -> Analysis Services -> Right-click any servers there and select Restart Server.

Before restart:

After Restart:

[draschke]

Thank you very much!

After restarting the APS I can deploy your sample on the platform.

Now I try to get the other problem fixed.

[draschke]

Hi Eitan,

now I see that you got the same trouble as I.

"com.sap.ip.bi.zen.connectivity.ConnectivityException: Failed to access plugin JAR file of extension "Design Studio SDK Extension Sample Clock" (id: com.sap.sample.clock)

    at com.sap.ip.bi.zen.backends.bip.BiPlatformSystem.deployExtensions(BiPlatformSystem.java:1969)...."

Could you fix it?

At the moment I've no idea where I've to look for the reason.:(

[draschke]

Hi experts, I don't get this problem fixed.

The installation of an extension on the platform fails...--> "One or more extensions failed to install"

I've three apps where two of this extensions I got deployed on the platform.

But one of them I don't get fixed. I dont know why, I tried it so often with a new feature.

(I also copied a working app, changed it, but always the same result --> "One or more extensions failed to install")

Again, I can install it "Install Extension to DS". There are no errors!

And in local mode does the app work fine. I've no idea what the reason could be!

What I found out, that two descriptions (with the same release date) were different.

Now I followed this link from Michael...

http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/AAD12/en/ds12_dev_guide_en.pdf

this is the error msg: One or more extensions failed to install

Michael-

This is very cool, thanks. I have received very positive feedback.

Have you tried to execute from the BI Platform? It appears the animation or flip is gone when trying to access from the BI Platform.

Any ideas?

[Former Member]

Dirk, did you unchecked "Unpack the plug-in archive after the installation" option in your deploy feature?

[Former Member]

Hi Michal,

i followed all what was said ,

i have unchecked unpacked ,

the application work fine locally

im also admin and design studio admin,

i restarted APS server ,  but i always get the faillure trying to install it on the plateform

Thank you

[senfpe]

Sunny is right. "Unpack the plug-in archive after the installation" solves your problem. I get the error because my checkbox was checked. If you unchecked it, then your extension will be installed on bi platform successfully.

[michaelwecker]

Hello Mike, could you please be so kind and have a look at

http://scn.sap.com/thread/3875364

as we got nearly the same problem within Netweaver portal runtime. I double checked every single step from Administrator guide but without any solution.

Thank you for your support.

Best regards
