[Former Member]

I have created an Adobe Interactive Form and deployed it.

Now how can I create an iView out of it?

Hi

The required steps are:

Define a System

Use

In this integration scenario the SAP Enterprise Portal and the Web Dynpro application run on different servers. This means that you have to define the system on which the Web Dynpro application is running and create an alias for the system.

Procedure

Creating a folder and defining a system

Define the system on which the Web Dynpro application is running as follows:

...

In the portal, navigate to System Administration ® System Configuration ® System

To call up the System Landscape Editor, choose the Browse tab ® Portal Content folder. Creating a new folder is optional, you can also use an existing folder.

To create a new folder choose New ® Folder in the context menu using the alternate mouse button.

Give the folder a

Folder Name, for example Example_Folder

Folder ID, for example ExampleFolder

Folder ID Prefix

Master Language and

Description. Please note that you have to edit the inputfields marked with a red asterisk.

Choose Finish. The new folder will appear in the Portal Content directory.

Highlight the newly-created folder in the Portal Catalog and choose the context menu button.

Choose New ® System. Launches the System Wizard.

Select “SAP_R3_LoadBalancing System Template” from the Template selection window screen and choose Next button.

Provide a system name, system ID and prefix for your system. The names are arbitrary, for example:

System Name, for example WD_SystemName

System ID, for example WD_SystemID

System ID Prefix, for example com.sap

Save As “System”

Choose the Master Language

Choose the push button Next. On the next screen all entries will be displayed in a summary that allows you to check the entries before finishing.

Choose Finish.

Defining an alias for the system

To create the alias for the system, first make sure that the new system is open in the System Landscape Editor. Proceed as follows:

1. Select System Aliases from the Edit dropdown list box in the toolbar at the top right.

2. Specify a name for the system alias, for example MySystem. Add the defined alias by pressing the button Add. Save your work using the button Save.

3. To edit the properties of the system, choose Object in the Edit dropdown list box at the top right.

4. In the Property Category dropdown list, choose Web Application Server (WAS).

5. Maintain the following properties:

WAS Host Name = :port (this corresponds to the Web Dynpro server location and the port on which it is running eg. PXYZ.wdf.sap.corp:50000.)

WAS Protocol = http (depends whether the J2EE Engine used is configured to use HTTPS or not)

6. Save your work.

Creating a Web Dynpro-Based iView:

Use

You can define your Web Dynpro iViews using the standard Web Dynpro iView template, SAP Web Dynpro iView, or the newly-created Web Dynpro iView template as follows.

Procedure

...

1. In the portal, navigate to Content Administration ® Portal Content. The Portal Content Studio is opened.

2. In the Portal Catalog, select the folder you defined previously, which should contain your new Web Dynpro-Based iView.

3. To select New iView use the context menu.

4. The iView wizard appears on the right. Select the appropriate standard iView template SAP Web Dynpro iView.

5. Choose Next.

6. On the next screen define the iView Name and the iView ID of the iView. The name is used as the title for the iView. The key is the technical name and the iView ID prefix can be used to define your own namespace.

7. Choose iView.

8. Choose Next.

9. To specify the application variant select the definition type ABAP or Java.

10. On the next screen you have to define the Web Dynpro-specific application parameters:

a. System

Choose the system alias you want to use for your Web Dynpro application from the dropdown listbox. You have to create a system alias for each J2EE Engine first before you can run a Web Dynpro application on it. How to create a system and a system alias is described in detail earlier in Define a system.

b. Namespace

You have to define the development component containing your Web Dynpro application. If you are working locally without the DTR you have to define the Web Dynpro project used here. Make sure that both a development component and a Web Dynpro project contain the vendor name. For example, the following are possible values: sap.com/tc_wdtools for a development component or local/MyWebDynproProject for a Web Dynpro project. For example in the “Creating a Simple Web Dynpro Application“ the project is called local/WebDynpro_Basics.

Note: The specified name of the development component is the same as displayed in the J2EE Engine console using the LIST_APP command or as used in the Web Dynpro application URL.

c. Application Name

The application name is the name of the Web Dynpro application, for example WelcomeApplication.

d. Application Parameters

If your Web Dynpro application has startup parameters you can define specific values for this iView. Imagine you have two parameters parameter1 and parameter2. In this case you could define the following application parameter string: parameter1=value1&parameter2=value2.

11. After defining the Web Dynpro-specific parameters the next wizard screen is displayed, which allows you to define the standard iView parameters. If you use the standard Web Dynpro iView template your Web Dynpro iView uses automatic resizing. If you want to define a fixed height or a full-screen iView you have to adjust this parameter.

12. Choose Finish.

You can now use your Web Dynpro iView in the same way as any other iView, i.e. you can add the iView to pages, worksets or roles.

To preview the Web Dynpro application, choose the button Preview in the Portal Content Studio.

Hope this helps.

Hi Azim,

First of all you need to create a web dynpro system in portal.

while creating an iview in portal u should give the name of your project as namespace and your application name in the space provided for application.

Go to help of NWDS > web dynpro applications > developing web applications > special tutorials > portal tutorials > running a web dynpro application is sap EP.

here you will get step by step explanions of how to create an iview.

Hope this helps.
