JavaScript in Web Templates

Description

Web templates with the SAP BW 3.x format can be converted and migrated using the migration tool of the Web Application Designer from SAP NetWeaver 7.2. See also Web Templates.

SAP BW 3.x Web templates into which JavaScript has been inserted cannot be migrated automatically. To migrate a Web template that contains JavaScript, such that the migrated Web template retains the same features as the original Web template, you are required to make some manual adjustments.

General Practices with Migration

Any JavaScript parts of a Web template with the SAP BW 3.x format that cannot be migrated are copied to the source code of the migrated template, where they can then be commented out. Alternatively, you can also link JavaScript code to the migrated Web template using the ScriptWeb item from the Web Application Designer from SAP NetWeaver 7.2. The manual work required is generally minimal, since you can generate most commands using the command wizard from SAP NetWeaver 7.2 or you can use the Script Web item.
