Integration of webdynpros using portals

[Former Member]

Hi folks,

Iam new to Web Dynpros and Enterprise Portals. I have divided the project into 4 modules and four of us had worked on it using WebDynpros and all the modules are working fine independent of each other. Now I wanted to integrate all the 4 modules into a single one. Would it be good to integrate it through Enterprise Portals or Can I do it through web Dynpros itself. Could you please provide the links for the pdf's regarding the same. Thanks in Advance.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi,

You can have a single Web Dynpro application that uses the other components, and then create an iView for the first Web Dynpro application.

You can also simply create iViews from each of the Web Dynpro applications and place on the same page.

It depends what type of interaction you need between the various components.

P.S.: What version are you in?

Hi Danial,

Thanks for your response. You asked to simply create iviews and place it on the page. But according to our application in the left side the links should be displayed and on click of that link particular module should be called. So I hope I need to use EPCF for that. Could you please provide any pdf if available.

Hi,

An important question is: What version are you using?

When you say the links on the left side, do you mean the detailed navigation (left-side navigation bar)? If so, then you just create iViews from your WD components and the links work.

If you want to have communication between the WD components, then you can use EPCM. Though, if possible, it is often preferred to try to do communication via standard WD mechanisms.

For more information on WD applications in the portal, see http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/79/3857422d095542e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm.

Hope this helps.

Hi Daniel,

Links on the left means the Left-side navigation bar itself. Could you please help me how to create that left navigation bar in the portal. And on click of that link I hope I need to call the other iviews using EPCF.

The version which Iam using is EP 6.0

Thanks,

Suvarna

Hi Suvarna,

In NetWeaver 2004, you create a iView from your Web Dynpro application, and then add your iView to a page and the page to a workset and the workset to a role. You make the role or workset an entry point, and assign the user to the role.

After this, the iView you created is automatically part of the navigation, generally in the left-hand navigation. When you click on it, you get the iView (WD application) in the content area.

If you want to create a link in one WD application (iView) to go to another WD application (iView), then you must follow whats written in the documentation for 2004 -- http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/74/d5e7418192c717e10000000a155106/frameset.htm.

If you want to not navigate but send events to other iViews on the same page, then you can use EPCM, also described in the above documentation.

Hope this helps.

Daniel
