To display the Web Dynpro window in a browser, the window or the uniquely assigned interface views of the window has to be bound to a Web Dynpro application. A Web Dynpro application is a self-contained object and is saved independentlz from the Web Dynpro component. In contrast to the Web Dynpro component, the application does not have to be activated.

Creating Web Dynpro Applications

  1. Select your component in the object list on the left-hand side of the Web Dynpro Explorer.

  2. Choose   Create   Web Dynpro Application   in the context menu.

  3. Enter a unique name and description for the application and confirm your entries with Continue (Enter).

    Caution Caution

    Note that the name of the application has to be unique system-wide.

    End of the caution.

    The editor on the right-hand side of the screen now displays the application’s properties and parameters. You can make further changes here.

    • If necessary, you can change the description of the application here.

    • If required, you can change the name of the predefined component.

      As a preselection for the component from which you want to call a window, the component that you are currently in in the object list was entered automatically.

      Note Note

      As a Web Dynpro application is independent of the component in which the required window is located, however, you can select any component for your application using F4.

      End of the note.

    • If required, you can change the name of the predefined interface view.

    • For each interface view there is at least one inbound plug (default). Use the F4 help again to select the inbound plug you require.

    • With the Help Link you can store a link to the documentation for this application in the Knowledge Warehouse. You can call the link at runtime using the F1 key.

    • Under Handling Messages you can define the form in which Messages should be displayed.

    • Under Administration Data in the lower part of the Editor, take a look at the administrative details of the application, for example, user name of the creator or the creation date.

  4. Choose Save in the ABAP Workbench.

  5. Specify the package in which the application is stored and confirm your entries.

    The fields for Package and Language are filled in the administration data.

    Saving creates the Web Dynpro application and you can test it provided that all parts of the corresponding window are active. For this you can either select the Test/Execute (F8) symbol of the ABAP Workbench or open the entry Test or   Testing in the Business Client   HTML Client   or   Testing in the Business Client   Desktop Client   in the context menu of the object list of the Web Dynpro application.

    You can either display your application in the Browser or in SAP NetWeaver Business Client, if installed.

    Note Note

    When you create a Web Dynpro application, an appropriate node is automatically created in the ICF service tree (see the section Initial Configuration Settings in Web Dynpro for ABAP Configuration).

    End of the note.
