Exposing WD4VC Applications as Callable Objects 

Use

You can expose Web Dynpro for Visual Composer (WD4VC) applications as callable objects in the Guided Procedures (GP) design time.

The WD4VC application is an iView or page created in Visual Composer (VC) and deployed as a Web Dynpro development component, which can be exposed as a callable object and attached to an action in a process flow.

Prerequisites

·        You have the appropriate rights to work with Guided Procedures (GP) design time.

For more information, see Portal Roles.

·        You have created an iView in Visual Composer and you have compiled and deployed it as a Web Dynpro component.

In Visual Composer, navigate to Tools → Options →Compiler and select Web Dynpro from the Runtime dropdown box. Make sure that the Add Guided Procedure Information checkbox is enabled.

For more information about creating VC iViews, see SAP NetWeaver Visual Composer Modeler's Guide.

 Procedure

       1.      Open the gallery and from the contextual panel, choose Create Callable Object.

       2.      From the Type list, select User Interface  → WD4VC Application and enter the required basic data as follows:

Parameter	Description
Name	Enter a name for the new object.
Description	Provide a short and meaningful description.
Original Language	Choose the language in which the translatable texts of the callable object definition are created.
Folder	Select a destination folder in the gallery. You can either use an existing folder, or create a new one.

       3.      Choose Next.

       4.      On the Define Object screen, select a development component.

In the list, you can see the name of the component and the corresponding WD4VC application name.

Continue by choosing Next.

       5.      On the Define Input screen, you can view all input parameters defined previously for the component. You cannot add more input parameters but you can reorder the existing ones.

Choose Next.

       6.      On the Define Output screen, you can view all output parameters defined previously for the component. You cannot add more output parameters but you can reorder the existing ones.

       7.      Choose Next to continue and Finish and Open to open the design time of the object.

       8.      You can now test and activate the callable object.

Result

Once you have activated the callable object, you can insert it in an action.

If you have defined result states for the iView, you should be able to see them in the action design time.
