[Former Member]

I am a newbiw in Netweaver. I am trying to create a web dynpro component, I am getting an 'page not found error' in the layour tab of the view. tried to follow all the steps given in another thread by activating all the ICF services needed.

I am not sure what to do next. Any help in this regard is greatly appreciated.

Thanks & regards

Hi Vasudeva,

I'll try to walk you through an idea that I have, i'll try to make it as detailed as possible, since I don't know the level of your expertise.

Try this:

1. Activate WDT_QUIZ in SICF under <b>default_host->bc->webdynpro->sap-></b> right click <b>wdt_quiz</b> and select activate service.

2. Go to SE80 and take a look at WDT_QUIZ . Expand Web Dynpro Applications and double click wdt_quiz. On the right hand side on the bottom you should see an entry for URL something like <b>http://yourcompanyname:8090/sap/bc/webdynpro/sap/wdt_quiz</b>

It seems like this url can not be accessed most likely because <b>yourcompanyname</b> is not a FQDN of the application server (fully qualified domain name - perhaps it should be http://www.yourcompanyname.com: .... or something like that).

What you can do is:

First check if my assumption is correct:

1. Go to Start->run->cmd on your PC and ping your FQDN like - ping www.yourcompanyname.com get the IP address

2. Go to the host file on your PC <b>c:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts</b> and all the way on the bottom enter the following separated by tabs: the IP address the FQDN and the domain name that you saw under URL in wdt_quiz

So the entry will look something like that

<b>333.4.0.1. www.yourcompanyname.com yourcompanyname </b>

Save it and try to go back to SE80. If that worked contact your system admin and have him/her configure correct FQDN. It is done in RZ11 for icm/host_name_full (I believe).

Hi Aleks/Vasudeva,

I am practicing the same on my home computer with IDES ECC6.0.

I can see at WDT_QUIZ something URL like :

http://eccserver6.domain.com:8000/sap/bc/webdynpro/sap/zz_hk_web1

what exactly i should give in c:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file as i dont have an FQDn right now.

Please suggest

Thanks

Hi,

make sure all the <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/43/e86de5008b4d9ae10000000a155369/frameset.htm">configuration settings</a> are done.

Hi Vasu,

You are not able to link to WAS. Well you will have to change your internet explorer settings. Contact your administrator or try to change settings manually.

Well for your information,

For Web dynpro ABAP you will require SAP ECC 6.0 onwards and WAS 7.0

is a must. Only then you will be able to see layout preview and can run the application in internet explorer. I had got the same error and changed my internet settings. Try doing so and let me know if you need any more help!!

Additionally check out this thread also,

Check this thread for settings.

Check the following link:

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/7b/fb57412df8091de10000000a155106/content.htm

In previous preliminary versions there were several other values in addition to delta (default value of server-side delta rendering) and doubleBuffer, e.g. raw (for test purposes) and embedded (for portal integration). Before server-side rendering was introduced as standard there was a client-side framework which was, however, dropped in favor of server-side rendering.

Hope this will help!

Cheers,

Darshna.

Thanks Darshna. I wanted to know further on the IE settings.Can you please let me know on this? Most of the places the settings are talking about the values to be set in SAP or ICF nodes to be activated. I checked those what all I could and found those in place and correct.

Thanks & regards

Hi Vasu,

Just try the following

navigate to the below directory:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc

After reaching to the following path you find a Hosts File, edit it.

Just give your applications server for ex. 10.112.49.45 localhost.

Just add the string it may works and save.
