We are experiencing iViews compilation issues in our TRACK because the following used component cannot be found: sap.com/tc/bi/bp/portalapplication.
To reproduce the issue, just create a DC of type Enterprise portal SDA in a TRACK and try to compile it locally or using CBS.
the compilation works fine for any DCs built locally. Local Developments hold a reference to the EP_BUILDT SC that references the missing component. Once the DC is created in the Track, the reference to EP_BUILDT is missing and the build fails.
The Track was setup correctly, and the three required components SAP-JEE, SAP_BUILDT, and SAP_JTECHS (for sp11) were imported successfully. We even tried to import EPBUILDT11_0-XX.SCA into the track using the CMS WebUI with no success. The SCA won't even show in the check in queue.
It's also important to note that using NW2004 everything works fine, the DC sap.com/tc/bi/bp/portalapplication is bundled with SAP_BUILDT, that's not the case anymore with 2004s.
Actually, the 2004s SLD itself doesn't even have a reference to a 'EP BUILD TOOL' SC as explained in the documentation.
"For Enterprise Portal Application development with SAP NetWeaver Development Infrastructure (NWDI), a track with the following Software Component Build dependencies has to be configured:
DI BUILD TOOL 7.00,SAP J2EE ENGINE 7.00,SAP JAVA TECH SERVICES 7.00,EP BUILD TOOL 7.0"
How to you get EP BUILD TOOL to work using NWDI ?
