Creating Advanced Web Dynpro iViews from a Remote Portal 

Use

Use the procedure described in this section to create an iView that runs a remote Web Dynpro Java page. The advanced Web Dynpro iView is especially useful for integrating applications developed for SAP NetWeaver 7.0 and higher. This iView can make use of Web Dynpro features that require close integration with the Web Dynpro page. For example, it can access portal services and APIs and enables the creation of multiple iViews from a single Web Dynpro application.

Prerequisites

iViews that display remote iViews and pages are created using the portal application integration technology for consuming remote content. This enables the consumption of a number of application technologies. Therefore, for a complete description of prerequisites and behavioral considerations, see Creating iViews Based on Remote Content.

Procedure

...

       1.      Launch the iView wizard by choosing New → iView from the context menu of the folder of your choice. For more information, see Launching the iView Wizard.

       2.      In the Application Technology page of the wizard, select Web Dynpro Java application - Create one or more iViews from a Web Dynpro Java application.

This is the single entry point for all Web Dynpro Java iViews.

       3.      In the iView Creation page, under Application Location, select Remote. and, from the adjacent dropdown list, select the system alias of the relevant remote portal.

       4.      Under Application Type, select Advanced.

       5.      Choose Next to display the Source Objects page, which reflects the Portal Content Catalog of the remote portal (where all Web Dynpro pages are available for selection).

       6.      Navigate in the folders and select one or more Web Dynpro pages.

If the system times out before finding your Web Dynpro page, or if the Web Dynpro page is not found, a browse window appears so that you can search for the Web Dynpro page manually in the remote portal content tree.

       7.      Choose Next to display the iView Properties page, where you can change values, such as name and ID, that you previously configured. You can also define an iView ID prefix, such as a company name, and apply the prefix to all other iViews.

       8.      Choose Next. The Page Creation page of the wizard appears.

Since creating a portal page is not relevant for this iView, which runs a Web Dynpro page, this page recommends that you place this iView directly into a role.

Putting this iView into a portal page is not recommended. It would be putting a page into a page and would cause behavior issues, such as extensive scrolling.

       9.      Choose Next to display the Summary page that show the details of the created iView.

   10.      Choose Finish and decide if you want to open the new object for editing, restart the wizard to create a new object, or close the wizard.
