Creating BSP Applications

Creating and defining a new BSP application

SAP WAS provides companies with the choice and flexibility to extend their solutions according to their available development skills and technical constraints. Just like all Repository objects, a BSP application can also be created, by copying it from some other location. For each new BSP application, the system creates an empty directory with the same name in the MIME Repository.

1 Instruction Set: Defining BSP Application

1. Log on to the SAP Web Application Server.
2. Open the Object Navigator and launch transaction

   SE80

    

3. Select BSP Application category in the object type dropdown
4. Enter the name of new BSP application LearningBSP

   (See Screen 1). F While assigning the new BSP application to a valid namespace ABC differing from the standard namespace, you must place the namespace as a prefix in front of the actual name of the BSP application.

5. Click

   Enter key to confirm your entry. The system checks to see whether or not a BSP application with that name already exists in the R/3 System. If there is none, the Create Object dialog box appears.

    

6. The dialog box titled � Web Application Builder: Create BSP Application� is displayed. Choose �Yes� to create the BSP application.
7. In the subsequent dialog box provide a meaningful Short Description of the BSP application and press the

   Enter key. The system refreshes the left frame, displaying the root node LearningBSP of the application.

    

8. Select

   Create. The system then displays the Create Object Catalog Entry dialog box.

    

9. As a last step, assign the package to the service. A successful creation of BSP application displays the BSP application you have created in the object list tree structure. Instruction Set Outcome: After performing the above steps a BSP application is created in the R/3 Repository as a development object.In case a user wants to generate the first page while creating the application, he/she has to go through the following procedure after Step-5 mentioned above:
   1. Right-click on the LearningBSP node and select

      Create > Page.

       

   2. As shown in screen 2 a pop-up is displayed prompting the user to enter the name of the BSP. Type in �

      learning.htm� and provide a suitable page description for the page, such as �learning BSP�.

   3. Assign a suitable name to the Business Server Page. Now, the system will open the page in the editor frame of the �Layout� tab with some default HTML code

       

    

   A new BSP application has to be activated before it is executed. One can either activate single pages or the entire BSP application, but it is possible only if the syntax is correct and the check run does not return errors.

   2 Instruction Set: Activating BSP application

    

   1. Double-click the BSP application that is to be activated.
   2. Select

      Activate option from the context menu of the Object Navigator

       

   3. The system displays a list of the inactive sub objects of the BSP application.
   4. Confirm the selection by clicking on the green coloured check mark.

       

   If after performing these steps an error message is displayed on the screen then retry to activate the application after eliminating all the errors.

   If activation is successful, a message �Object(s) activated� appears in the status bar stating that the user has generated the runtime version for the BSP application.

    

   The Web Application Server is the infrastructure of both new as well as existing application components. It also serves as the foundation of the SAP R/3 Enterprise. The enterprises constantly strive for implementing dynamic e-business strategies, which demands a robust and effective ERP infrastructure and ERP software capabilities. To this end, SAP Web Application Servers can revolutionize the way corporate e-business solutions are developed.
