Adobe Flex within SAP NetWeaver Developer

[Former Member]

Hello,

I can't find Adobe Flex within SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio.

I am using Version: 7.0.09

Build id: 200608262203

Is it necessary to download additional software for it?

Regards

Hi Erdem,

For flex related queries, you can ask question in forum Rich Internet Application Development. Following is the link.

Flex development is not part of SAP Netweaver Development Studio. You should have Flex Builder for it which can be downloaded from Adobe site. I think it is available for 60 days trial period.

P.S. You do not have to do anything with Visual Composer. Please do not get confused.

Regards,

Gopal

Hi,

Flex support is available for Visual composer rendering.

Try creating a model in VC and then select flex while rendering the UI

For download info check this thread:

Visual Composer as Modelling Tool

Models designed in Visual Composer can be deployed to run in one or more technology engines, including SAP HTML/B and Flex. The same model can be deployed to more than one environment, although not all components and controls are fully supported in each. Visual Composer implements a proprietary XML-based Visual Composer Language as its source code for creating the models. Only at deployment is the model actually compiled into the executable code required by the selected UI technology. The result is a model once run

anywhere capability.The models that you build in Visual Composer are generated in Generic Modeling Language (GML) code. To deploy your application to a portal, the GML code

must be compiled into a language supported by the portal. During compilation, warnings and possible errors may be discovered, enabling you to check the model validity. The compiled content is deployed directly to the portal, in the runtimeenvironment that you select.In runtime, transactional content can run through HTML/B and Flex, while

analytic content which may require a more animated environment may run through Flex. The models deployed by Visual Composer to the portal include runtime metadata, which is stored with the model in the PCD and exported in the business package, for delivery to customers.
