Hi Experts,
I am an MII consultant and very new to SAP ME and custom development.
There is a situation in my project where-in I have the following requirement:
1) In the SAP ME Screen, the user wants to see a new link added that opens a new custom screen developed using SAP ME SDK.
2) He wants to create a new request, save it and then exit the screen.
I did a lot of research and reading around how that can be done. Finally I have come up with the following step-by-step approach.
Not sure if the elaborated version is ok to be shared on the forum. Moderators please mind me if not.
Please have a look at the following steps and let me know if I my understanding is correct and if i am wrong, where and how.
Your support and guidance will help me a lot. Thank you.
1) Install SAP ME SDK on your machine. (Build tool is not required)
2) In Eclipse, Go to Web Application project to make code changes.
3) In the Web Folder, create your JSP for the User Interface. As many JSP as required.
4) For obtaining data from SAP ME, follow 1 of the 2 options:
a) Available PAPI Web Services
b) Direct Database connection with SAP ME WIP Database
5) For posting data back in SAP ME, follow 1 of the 2 options:
a) Available PAPI Web Services
b) Direct Database connection with SAP ME WIP Database
6) Go to Project Build Resources --> Script --> build.xml. Right Click build.xml and
Run on Ant. From the options of Targets, select build.web.
7) The war file can be found in SAP\SAPME\SDK\IDE\build\results\server\package.sca\ear or SAP\SAPME\SDK\IDE\build\results\server\sda.
The name of the war file is: me.common.web-6.0.4.0.war
8) In the Deployment Perspective of the Eclipse, Import the Deployable archive: me.common.web-6.0.4.0.war
9) Go to Windows --> Preferences --> SAP AS Java. Add the Java Instance of the Server where the SAP ME is installed or hosted.
10) Go to Deploy View, right-click the .war and deploy after giving User Name and Password.
11) Once the war is deployed on the SAP ME server, we should be able to see the activity on the SAP ME Screen.
12) Login to SAP ME, and go to Activity Maintenance. We will be able to see the new screen name in the pop up box.
13) Add it to see the new link in the navigation pane in the left.
