Assigning a BEx role to BSP - BSP application is missing in PFCG

[Former Member]

Hi everybody,

at first I will describe our problem.

We constructed a mixed environment web application, consisting out of a BSP application and WAD web templates. Unfortunately the url of web templates and the bsp-application differs - meaning the server is the same, but the port is different. That's why it is not easy to link the application each other, because for transportation reasons, we would like to have relative url paths.

After searching the SDN and reading several help files I draw the conclusion, that I have to put my BSP application into a BEx role. Correct? If anybody has a better approach, please raise your hand now!

So, I tried to create a role for my BSP application in the transaction PFCG. To specify the target I choosed entry type OTHER and BSP application. But in the appearing list of all BSP applications, my application was missing.

I really wondered about it, because similar BSPs from other authors within the sap/bc/bsp - folder appeared in the list.

Question: What are the prerequisites that a BSP application is available in the PFCG transaction?

Thanks for any comments and helps

Best regards,

Sebastian

nothing all the BSP apps under default_host/sap/bc/bsp/sap would apper in PFCG when you add OTHER

you are looking at constructing the BW WAD url and call it from BSP, however the host address (port) differs and coz of that you cannot use relative urls.

in a similar situation, what we have done is to store the host:port part as a TVARV variable (which is maintainable in all the landscape thru SM30) and read it at runtime and build the url. would something like this suffice your requirement?

Hi Raja,

thank you for your quick reply.

Almost. I'm actually searching for the other way round. I want to call the BSP in an inlineframe of a WAD web template. But its exactly that port change issue, that causes the problem.

My BSP application is located in a subfolder of default_host/sap/bc/bsp/ ?

There are other BSPs in that folder which already appear in the PFCG transaction under OTHER.

Best regards,

Sebastian

i guess this is what happenning (may sound silly, but wanted to clear that this is not the case), check it out.

after you click OTHER and choose BSP Application , in the resulting window do you click the F4 for BSP application name?

if yes it may initiallay show only limited set of entries.

Click "new selection" in the pop up where you see the list of BSPs, and then remove the value against "Max no. of hits" and hit enter again. you should see your BSP in the list.
