How to access/edit ESS applications using NWDI and WebDynpro Perspective

I am a new user/admin to NWDI and I am trying look at the ESS package specifically the cat application. I have Imported the development configuration into my NWDS and I can access and edit text files. My confusion is that I am trying to access the application,component controllers and views in the WebDynpro perspective.

The ESS content is deployed on the server like the following

sap.com/ess~cat

Applications

CatDataRelease

CatDataRecord

Components

VcCatReleaseEntry

VcCatReleaseConfirmHeader

VcCatRecordReview

CcCatRecord

CcCatRelease

VcCatReleaseConfirm

VcCatRecordEntry

VcCatRecordConfirm

VcCatRecordWorklist

VcCatRecordConfirmHeader

VcCatRecordDetail

VcCatReleaseReview

VcCatCalendar

FcCatRecord

FcCatRelease

Models

CatsModelSlim

CatsValueHelpModel

I see and can edit the files in NWDS using the Development Configuration Perspective but they are text files and I cannot understand how to access them thru the WebDynpro Perspective using context editor tab, implementation tab, graphical interface etc...

Any Help with my confusion would be appreciated.

Thank you,

Sarah

Hi Sarah,

Ensure if you have checked in required SCA's for the SAP_ESS SC.

Thank you for your help Thulasi

I have since checked in what I believe is the required sca's and I am down to only 1 error.

Do you have a list of required sca's for ESS. I have seen a couple of similar lists that are slightly diffrent

I have checked-in

SAP_JTECHS

SAP_BUILDT

SAP-JEE

SAPPCUI_GP

SAP_ESS

EP-PSERV

EPBC

EPBC2

SAP_EU

The only error I am getting now is the following located in the

General User Output area

ERROR: ess/cat: Build failed for sap.com/ess/cat(sap.com_SAP_ESS_1) in variant "null": null

The error in the pop-up text box is the following

The build log has the following:

Development Component Build (2009-05-20 10:51:28)

Component name: ess/cat

Component vendor: sap.com

SC compartment: sap.com_SAP_ESS_1

Configuration: NP1T_XSSTRACK_D

Location: NP1T_XSSTRACK_D

Source code location:

http://nwserver.domain.txstate.edu:50000/dtr/ws/XSSTRACK/sap.com_SAP_ESS/dev/inactive/DCs/sap.com/es...

DC root folder: C:\Documents and Settings\user\.dtc\0

\DCs\sap.com\ess\cat\_comp\

DC type: Web Dynpro

Host: TAG123456

DC Model check:

I get this same error for every component in ESS that I try to create a project for.

I am not having this problem when I create projects for MSS.

Any help would be much appreciated

Thank you,

Sarah,

In the Development Configurations Perspective...you have to right click on the DC and then select 'Create Project'...then goto the Webdynpro perspective and you will see the controllers and the views to modify....

Thanks for your response, I am still having some trouble

When I create a project, like you said, it does show up in the Webdynpro perspective but it does NOT show up in the WebDynpro explorer . It only shows up in the WebDynpor Navigator. If I right click this in the navigator I can create a Webdynpro project but it is empty.

This is what is being created after I right click create project ...In the WebDynpro Navigator

/NP1P_XSSTRACK_Desscat~sap.com

Also I am getting errors in a build log --> log located /NP1P_XSSTRACK_Desscat~sap.com/gen/null/logs/build.log

There are other errors like the following, displayed in the Screen area of the General Users Output.

There are other errors but they are all about "could not load" etc.

Any Help on this would be appreciated

Thank you,
