1 Theme Upgrading Scenario

You have created themes for Netweaver 04 Stack 9 using the Eclipse Theme Editor.

Now you want to upgrade to Netweaver 04 Stack 10. Note thatWeb Dynpro Stack 10 willrender only correctly using Stack 10 themes, so it is mandatory to upgrade your Stack 9themes. Please find the relevant files for download at the SAP Note Number: 854870

2 Introduction

SAP strategy is that all SAP application are presented to the user via the SAP Enterpriseportal. As such, UI themes can be changed with the "Portal Theme Editor" which is part

of the Enterprise System Administration role. When using the Portal Theme Editor nomanual steps are needed to upgrade themes this is done automatically on Portalupgrade.In order to overcome the fact that not all customers already have the right version of theEnterprise Portal with the "Theme Editor" (EP 6.0 on Web As 6.40 part of NW04 SPStack 09), we offer a version of the Theme Editor as a stand alone tool via SDN. Theusage of this standalone tool is described in How to Edit Web Dynpro Themes. In thefollowing we describe how to upgrade themes from Netweaver 04 Stack 9 to Stack 10.

3 The Step By Step Solution

Chapter 3.1 describes the process when you need to work on Stack 09 themes in

parallel. This requires two independent Eclipse installations (nevertheless it is therecommended upgrade procedure). The benefit of these two installations is that you canverify your theme changes against the rendering previews of the corresponding stack.Chapter 3.2 describes the process when you only need to work on Stack 10 themes afterthe upgrade. Following this procedure you will still be able to generate Stack 9 themesbut you will verify your changes against Stack 10 rendering previews.Please remember that Web Dynpro Stack 10 will render only correctly using Stack 10themes.

3.1 Upgrade Szenario: Two Independent Eclipse Installations

1. Launch your Netweaver Stack 09Theme Editor Eclipse installationopen your NW04Stack9Themes andexport all of your customer themes toyour local hard disk e.g. toC:\SAP\NW04Stack09Themes.

2. Install a new Eclipse instance as

described in How to Edit WebDynpro Themes.

3. UnzipNW04Stack10ThemesEditor.zip intoyournew Eclipse installations pluginsfolder. The plugins folder should thencontain the subfolders com.sap.ur.*.

4. Unzip NW04Stack10Themes.zip to

your local filesystem, e.g. C:\\SAP.

5. Create a NW04Stack10Themes

project for directory C:\\SAP\NW04Stack10Themes

6. Import all zipped themes from

C:\SAP\NW04Stack09Themes oneby one.
