Transport Web Dynpro Apps and Portal Content

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I have developed web dynpro applications and portal iviews based on the web dynpro apps i created in development. What is the transport mechansim to publish web dynpro applicaitons and portal content (iviews, roles, pages etc.) from dev to QA.

From what I understand, we can create a new transport package from Sys Admin but I am not sure if I have to do anything different for web dynpro apps.

Also can we add this transport package to Solution Manager. We are using Solution Manager for other BI content.

I really appreciate if anyone can explain the process or have any documentation that they can share.

Thanks

Hi! Ravi,

This post will help to transport the PCD(iviews,pages,worksets,roles,etc) objects from Development server to Quality Server to Production server..

Follow this steps in Development server

First login into development server

1)Try to keep all the objects in one folder(say myfolder) under portal content.

2)Now come to system administrator->tranport-> tansport package->export->portal content-> create a new folder

3)Select this new folder right click new transport package-> give the name and id->finish ->and close the transport package.

4)Now open the transport package which u have created just now.(make sure that u r transprt package is opend at right in content area)

5)Now select your folder which contains actual content(i.e iviews,pages,worksets,roles,etc ,, in this case my folder) right click add all objects to tansport package

6)Click on export button

7)Click on start export button

8)Download the export file using downlaod export file link

9)Save on your desktop

Now login into production server or quality server

Now importing the object inot quality server.

1)Go to system administartor->tansport->transport package-> import

2)Source for package file as client. click on browse and and select the .epa file which u have saved on to desktop (i.e from 9 step from above)

Thanks Mithileshwar. That helps.

From the Export we can transport Portal content such as iViews, Roles and Pages, but how about the Web Dynpro applications (.EAR files). Can we do this from the same place, or do we have to transport from NWDI or using SDM.

After we transport of Web Dynpro, do we have to do any special things to make sure that .ear location is in correct place so that the web dynpro based i-views work properly.

Thanks

Hi Ravi,

you must have associated your WebDynpro application with the webDynpro IView,so if you will create a export package then your webDynpro application will get associated with the export package.

you can create a export package from PCD and don't worry about location, this will be the same.
