Creating Page Configurations

Prerequisites

Since the authoring environment of the Page Builder is based on the Web Dynpro configuration framework, you should already be familiar with it.

More information: Web Dynpro ABAP Configuration Framework

Context

A Page Builder page is based on a page configuration. This is a special form of the application configuration.

Procedure

  1. You are in the ABAP Workbench (SE80). To create an application configuration, display Web Dynpro component WDR_CHIP_PAGE, select application WDR_CHIP_PAGE, and from the context menu choose Create/Change Configuration.
  2. Specify a unique configuration ID, for example, MY_CHIP_APP_CONF.
  3. Choose New and specify the required transport package. The application configuration appears.
  4. You can select your own configurations for various components:

    • WDR_CHIP_PAGE

      Select a component configuration of component WDR_CHIP_PAGE, or create a new one.

    • WDR_CHIP_CATALOG

      Here you can assign your own CHIP catalog to your page. If you do not specify one, the standard CHIP catalog is used.

    Select the line of the component that you want to change, and choose Assign Configuration Name.

  5. Under Application Parameters you can set the Web Dynpro application parameters for your page.

    More information: Application Parameters and URL Parameters.

  6. After you have saved your configuration, it will appear in application wdr_chip_page, under node Application Configurations.

Next Steps

If you want to integrate your page into NWBC, you can also use existing page configurations as a template for your page. See also: Inserting Pages into the Role Menu
