Webdynpro layout is not displaying

[Former Member]

Hi,

in my system webdynpro  layout is not displaying.

I added my host string in host file also.

Hi Satya,

first of all, the FQDN of you system has to be configured correctly. You can check this in transaction SICF for any WebDynpro application. It has to be something like this:

http://<something>.<something>:<portnumber>/.....

The FQDN is the part between "http://" and ":<portnumber>".

And this has to be like <something>.<something>. If you don't have at least two <something>'s with a dot inbetween, you'll not be able to call the webdynpro application.

And this effects two things:

1. Your application cannot be called from the browser

2. You cannot see during webdynpro development your view-layout as it is the case in your screeshot.

So check if your FQDN is properly formatted. If not, that is if you just have <something>, your FQDN is not properly configured.

The best way to fix this, is to call your basis admins and ask them to configure a proper FQDN.

But with a workaround you can fix no 1. to run your application in a browser:

- just change your hostsstring in the etc/hosts-file to a FQDN-conform one.

  just make it up! i.e.: 192.168.75.01   mywda.monk 

- Call your application in a browser with this made up FQDN:

  Replace the FQDN in your applications URL with the one you entered in the hosts file:

  http://mywda.monk:<portnumber>/.....

Hi Satya,

Please check whether your VPN is working properly or not. Inorder to load Web Dynpro, VPN is required.

Install Cisco or secure client VPN. Once you login to VPN and establish connection, layout will be displayed.

Hi Satya,

If you see content like 'PAGE CANNOT BE DISPLAYED' in the layout, then

What you need to do is add host name along with the application sever I P in the host name.

HOST NAME:

When create Web Dynpro Application, url gets generated. in the URL

eg: Training.com is the host name

Application Server IP:

in the logon pad, see the properties of the server, you will find the application server details

eg: 192.168.75.01

Hi sankar,

i have already added the Hostname.

Actually yesterday also i got the layout. But today it is not displaying.

Hi Satya,

If you got the layout displayed properly.. yesterday, it seems that your host file entries got erased / some thing has been changed since yesterday.

Please check the host file entries once again.

Hi,

I have already checked, there is no change in host file.

[ramakrishnappa]

That's weird, we just need to maintain the host entries to go ahead with layout editor of WD.

just cross verify once again, if the host name and IP address are related and also, it matches with WD url's host.

Below are the possibilities

• Host entries are not maintained are not correct i.e. does not match with WD url's hostname
• Host entries are maintained but no space between host name & ip address

Hi,

Is it during layout design or application run?

What kind of message are you getting?  Please share the screen shot.

Hi Satya,

Contact your Basis team, and ask them for the details. or just try resetting the hostname and IP address in the HOST file once again.
