Configuring the Server Runtime for UI Services for SAP NWBC 5.0 for DesktopLocate this document in the navigation structure

With SAP NWBC 5.0 for Desktop, you can connect to systems based on SAP NetWeaver 7.4 using both the server runtime for SAP NetWeaver user interface (UI) services and for SAP NetWeaver Business Client.

Context

To ensure you can deploy the latest developments in your system, you need to connect to the server runtime for SAP NetWeaver UI services.

Follow the instructions below to activate the server runtime for SAP NetWeaver UI services for use with SAP NWBC 5.0 for Desktop:

Procedure

  • Activate the ICF node.

    The ICF tree contains a node for the NWBC runtime by default under the path /sap/bc/ui2/nwbc. Ensure that this node is active to enable any NWBC client to access the server.

  • Define NWBC-specific configuration parameters (optional).

    Define configuration parameters, for example, branding image and custom theme, in Customizing using transaction /UI2/NWBC_CFG_CUST under Start of the navigation path SAP NetWeaver Next navigation step UI Technologies Next navigation step SAP NetWeaver Business Client Next navigation step Define SAP GUI Tags (Runtime for SAP NetWeaver user interface services) End of the navigation path.
