Unable to execute App after SP got updated

[vishnu_anandakumar]

Hi,

Our test system's SAP_BASIS component's SP had got updated recently. After that, the webdynpro applications that had got imported to this system before SP updation, have stopped working. Meanwhile all the webdynpro applications that I had previoulsy built in this test system continue to work.

The error that I got was ICF service node "/sap/bc/webdynpro/sap/app_name" does not exist (see SAP Note 1109215)

But I was not able to implement the steps mentioned in the note in the test system, because the application i built were in a different system.

I checked for the Service nodes for the applications in SICF and they don't exist there.

I even tried creating a new application for the same webdynpro component in source system and moving to this test system and still it doesn't work.

Has anyone faced this particular issue before?

Thanks,

Vishnu

Hello,

Are you able to see you applications via. SE80 in your test system?

If Yes , then please check whether they are in SICF tree or not.

If they exixt thete the please activate the root node of the webdynpro tree.

And also check if they are working in your development system you also have to check the ICM configuration setting of your test system.

Thanks

Hi Pradeep,

Thanks for the reply.

Yes, in the Test System, the application is there in se80 but the service is not there in SICF tree.

And in the development system, eventhough the application works, I couldn't find the service entry in SICF tree. I am not sure whether applications can work without having an entry in SICF tree.

Thanks,

HI,

I do not thikn that a WAD application can work without SICF tree........Whenever you create a WAD application it will be configured in SICF node.

SO can you please make sure that you are looking on the correct path in SICF transaction.

Thanks

Hi,

You cant just have a webdynpro application without a service. There are 2 ways to check.

1. Using SICF.

2. In SE80 open the webdynpro component and double click on the application. Then Goto->HTTP Service Maintenance. You should be able to see your application. Right click and activate it. You can then run this application.

Thank you for the responses, Pradeep and Vamsi.

Yes, I was also under the same impression, that it should be there in SICF.

But we checked in the Dev system and we couldn't find entries in SICF. Besides when we create webdynpro applications, we get a warning message saying we don't have authorization to create ICF node for applications.

But the strange part is, we are able to run the applications!

And when I tried Goto->HTTP Service Maintenance , it says

ICF node for <Application_name> does not exist. Do you want to create it?

I would have preferred my applications not to run, this way!

Thanks,

Vishnu

In a small update, I have got authorization in source system, created the ICF node and transported it. Now it is working in the Test System.

But the fact remains, we were able to run webdynpro applications without entries in SICF. I have no idea how.

Cheers,

Vishnu
