Running a Web Dynpro Application in SAP Enterprise Portal 

Purpose

The following pages describe how to call a Web Dynpro application from an SAP Enterprise Portal iView and to create a Web Dynpro iView with a dedicated Web Dynpro iView template to call a Web Dynpro application remotely.

This means that a Web Dynpro application is called remotely using HTTP.

The application developer does not have to do anything in order to use the current portal theme. The Web Dynpro runtime uses the current portal theme automatically. If you start the Web Dynpro application outside the portal the standard SAP theme is used.

If a customer has defined his own portal theme using the Style Sheet Editor the CSF styles required are also generated automatically. However you can also configure the theme to be used when the Web Dynpro application is called outside the portal.

Integration

In general Web Dynpro integration only works with an SAP Enterprise Portal 6.0 SP2 or higher.

·       You are using the SAP Enterprise Portal 6.0.

Features

·       You can create Web Dynpro-based iViews using a special Web Dynpro iView template.

·       Web Dynpro applications are called remotely using a URL.

·       The Web Dynpro application automatically uses the current portal theme.
