Error when testing a Guided Procedure that use a Visual Composer UI

[Former Member]

Hello!

Trying to develop my first Guided Procedure in SAP NW CE 7.1 SR3.

I follow instructions that I earlier have used with CE 7.1 SP1 (in TechEd07), assuming no major changes from SP1 to SR3...

I have defined a Callable Object that is based on a Visual Composer UI.

The Visual Composer UI itself works fine when I test it in Visual Composer but when I try to test the Callable Object I get the following error message:

"Could not load execution container: Did not find active instance for component com.sap.caf.eu.gp.ui.co.wd4vc.exec.COExecWD4VC in running application."

When I click on the error message I get a lot of details of the underlying Java exception:

"java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Cannot find view element with ID 9NEfbfuapOdP8O4KnmM19Q in application com.sap.caf.eu.gp.dt.workset.AppWorkset with namespace null"

(skipped all details...)

Have I missed some step (development or configuration) that is new in CE 7.1 SR3 compared to CE 7.1 SP1?

I have tried to read through the available on-line help but can't find anything that seems to differ...

Are there any examples/tutorials available for CE 7.1 SP3?

Thanks for your help,

Magnus.

Hello!

I finally found the error!

It was caused by a design flaw in my VC - model that made the UI terminate immeadetly as soon as it was displayed in the GP-test environment (used an select event instead of submit from a table component to an end point)

So the eror message "Did not find active instance for component com.sap.caf.eu.gp.ui.co.wd4vc.exec.COExecWD4VC" was indeed correct

When correcting this flaw the GP-test also works perfectly!

Regards,

Magnus.

Hi,

Check if you have selected the "Add Guided Procedure Information" in the options menu in VC. That's required for using a VC component as a GP CO. Also you can check whether you can run the VC component as a stand-alone application. Also if you have redeployed the VC component changing some parameters like the namespace, etc you need to create the the CO afresh.

Hello Dipankar!

Thanks for trying to help me out!

I'm unfortunately having problem with finding the choice "Add Guided Procedure Information" in the options menu in VC.

I have looked in the menu "Tools --> Options" but failed to find this choice.

Is this choice maybe changed in SAP NW CE 7.1 SR3?

Regarding running the VC component as a stand-alone application I can launch the component from VC after deployment and it works fine both as HTML and Flex (I really like the Flex - version :-)!

But if you mean something else with running it stand alone please direct me to some doc-url so I can learn how to do that!

Best Regards,

Magnus.
