unusual question

Posted on Mar 30, 2004 at 01:34 PM 14 Views

hi,

i have to develop a program where you can display and change some data in R/3. this program will be only called in enterprise portal 6.0.

my question:

should i develop this program as normal dynpro in se80 and integrate it after in the portal with a r/3 iview or

is it better to develop it directly in the portal or

can i develop a web service in r/3 which i call from the portal with an iview.

how is it usual?

if you prefer the second possibility, how can i do this?

(web dynpro, java iview, use the connector framework ...)

lots of possibilities?

can anybody help me????

thanks

daniel

    Hello Daniel,

    I think you should develop a RFC enabled Function Module which encapsulates the required functionality. For the frontend application I think that it depends on the know how you have.

    thanks for your answer.

    perhaps any other opinions?

    is it true that any development in the portal should be restricted to build the interface and connect to the back-end systems? the logic should always be developed in the concerning back-end systems.

    but why develop such special interfaces (dynpage with htmlb, jsp...) when it is much easier to create a R/3 iview with a wizard in the content studio or gui machine?

    can somebody give me a szenario where it is necessary to work with the pdk? i simply want to find in which cases to use the pdk.

    some other opinions would be great.

    regards

    daniel

      why use the pdk:

      -can perform complex state based iviews (for example time writing system ++). especially if the do not connect to SAP or other well know backend system

      -client side scripting between iviews through epcm (or is this available in content studio gui machine)

      -Lots of code is written in java allready. Iviews provide an easy way to integrated them

      -when development on R/3 is restricted (usually much stricter change routines)

      -when you want to use advanced htmlb elements (tree view, tab view, table view, etc.)

      -Interaction with multiple systems at the same time

      -Interaction with portal services

      probably lots of other reasons as well, but a lot of it depends on your personal preferences
