Applikation in NWBC - wrong environment determination

[Former Member]

Hi all,

at the moment im trying to run an SAP application (eRecruiting 604) using the NWBC. At the first sight everything seems to be fine. But as soons as I try to navigate in the POWL (using the action buttons) errors occur or simply nothing happens. After some hours of checking i think i've found the reason. For navigation the event POWL_FOLLOW_UP is used. In the handler method the used environment is determined by the following code:

lo_api_component = io_wd_component.

lo_wd_application = lo_api_component->get_application( ).

lv_cl_environment = lo_wd_application->get_client_environment( ).

Unfortunately the result is 2, means Portal. I would expect that the result should be 4 for NWBC. Due to this the wrong launchpad customizing is used and errors are shown "iview xyz not implemented". Addittionally the OBN fails as well.

Does anyone have an idea how to solve this or tried this already.

I'm using NWBC 3 PL3 on a 70106 System.

Thanks in advance.

First you should be aware that the NWBC 3.0 has very limited support against NetWeaver 7.01 systems. There are only a few special expections for SRM 7.0 and Business All In One customers. Otherwise support for NWBC 3.0 and higher only comes with Business Suite 7 Innovations 2010 (NetWeaver 7.02).

That said, it seems that there is either an error in the WD API or the NWBC Server Runtime that it isn't reporting the correct client. I wasn't able to recreate in my system - it correctly reports that the client is NWBC. Therefore I would suggest that you open a support ticket. However don't be suprised if the ticket is rejected becuase you have an unsupported combination of server side and NWBC release levels.

Hi Thomas,

thank you for the fast reply. That's the answer i've expected. As I dont want to wait for the general avail. of 702 I'll write a WD4A based wrapper on my own.

Thanks a lot.
