ABAP 7.03 WebDynPro Layout not displayed

[Former Member]

hello Experts,

I installed SAP NetWeaver AS ABAP 7.03 SP04 64-bit Trial on Windows 7 professional for testing couple of features on webdynpro ABAP. Everything works except application testing and view layout preview in WebDynPro.

I configured Microsoft loopback adapter and added it's entry in c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\host file. When I ping it from command prompt, connection was successful. I checked the host name in SMICM transaction. When I ping it from command prompt, it worked.

below is the error displayed in layout:

I checked similar SCN blogs and SAP Note 1088717.  Then I activated following services through SICF transaction, but problem persist.

/default_host/sap/public/bc/ur

/default_host/sap/public/bc/icons

/default_host/sap/public/bc/icons_rtl

/default_host/sap/public/bc/webicons

/default_host/sap/public/bc/pictograms

/default_host/sap/public/bc/webdynpro

/default_host/sap/public/myssocntl

/default_host/sap/public/icman

/default_host/sap/public/icf_info

/default_host/sap/bc/webdynpro

/default_host/sap/bc/wdvd

/default_host/sap/bc/echo

/default_host/sap/bc/error

I tried to copy the profile of active server in RZ10 transaction. Execution of RZ10 > Utilities > Check all profiles > Of active servers resulted in below error:

Do you have any idea of what's going wrong with necessary configurations for WebDynPro?

Go to transaction SICF, enter WDVD as service name, press F8. Select the wdvd service from the tree, use right mouse button and select Test Service. What is the generated URL, including port and protocol? Compare to the active services in transaction SMICM -> Services.

hi Samuli,

thank you for your response. I tested WDVD service in SICF transaction. A pop up message appeared to allow below service:

http://minisap:0/sap/bc/wdvd

when I allowed this message browser opened with default website. Generated URL includes same port and protocol as the one generated during testing of WebDynPro application.

That is your problem, port 0. You have to configure your ICM HTTP service in other words icm/server_port_<x>.

Hi Samuli,

I have added following lines to file: C:\usr\sap\NSP\SYS\profile\DEFAULT.FPL

•      icm/host_name_full = MiniSAP.com
•      icm/server_port_0 = PROT=HTTP,PORT=8000,TIMEOUT=3600,PROCTIMEOUT=3600

However this has no effect on the generated URL of webdynpro application. Do I need to make additional configurations to change the port 0?

thanks, Sid

No, that should do it assuming you changed the correct profile. Did you restart the system? Parameter icm/hostname_full controls the generated URL assuming the underlying OS is unable to detect a FQDN.

Hi Sid

Looks like this is a host file issue.   Speaking from a Basis side ,

please check the IP address and the hostname ( fully qualified ) in the hosts file ..

and check if the issue persists.

Thanks

Hello Rushi,

Thank you for your response. I added ip address of microsoft loopback adapter in the hostfile:

• c:/windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts

below is the entry added:

• 10.10.0.10    minisap.com

However it did not resolved issue. Do you think of additional configuration that i might had missed?

Hi Sid

a) If you type host-name from command prompt , what is the output ?

b) And if you nslookup <hostname> , which IP address you are getting ..

Also as suggested before - did you try restarting the server ?

Thanks

hi samuli,

thanks genius! The troubleshooting steps that you suggested solved the problem. As you mentioned in the latest reply, I updated the profile but missed to restart the system. After I restarted the server and host OS, WebDynPro worked without any problem. thanks a ton for your help!

Hi,

Ask you basis consultant to provide you the details of the local host entries & then embed this details in host file in the following path

C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts.

Thanks & Regards

hello Venkat,

thank you for you response. However I had already been through that document. I followed the steps mentioned in the document. The document says in 3rd step of configuration, after activating the services in SICF, enter URL in browser and LogOn page will appear. I tried it. I got below error:

Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage

The document refers to configurations for 7.01. Is there any additional configuration required for 7.03?

regards,

Sid
