XBCML/Web Dynpro Viewer for 12Sprints

This is a POC demo of an integration between SAP and 12Sprints.com. The XBCMLViewer is a method written for 12Sprints in Javascript. It enables users to view SAP transaction content in the form of WebDynpro application screens via two rendering options: the SAP Flex Client and the SAP Oberon (Silverlight) Client. A great deal of SAP transactional data is available through WebDynpro interfaces, and XBCMLViewer can play a part in letting users explore and collaborate using this data, enabling better decision-making.

An XBCMLViewer item can be created manually in any 12Sprints activity. On creation, a user can enter the URL to a WebDynpro application or can paste XBCML (the rich-client protocol supported by WebDynpro) in the provided text area. The result is a rendering of the application screen in the Flex Client.

Alternatively, the XBCMLViewer method can be invoked programmatically, and in this mode the programmer can choose Flex or Silverlight as the rendering technology.

Additionally, this entry also provides an example of the use of the 12Sprints Invocation API. A WebDynpro application (source included) has been configured to provide a dialog through the context menu allowing the application screen to be shared via 12Sprints the dialog allows the end-user to specify a 12Sprints server, provide login credentials, view available activities or create a new activity and a new method.
