Best practice "changing several related objects via BDT" (Business Data Toolset) / Mehrere verbundene Objekte per BDT ändern

Hallo,
I want to start a
discussion, to find a best practice method to change several related master
data objects via BDT. At the moment we are faced with miscellaneous requirements,
where we have a master data object which uses BDT framework for maintenance (in
our case an insured objects). While changing or creating the insured objects a
several related objects e.g. Business Partner should also be changed or
created. So am searching for a best practices approach how to implement such a
solution.
One Idea was to so call a
report via SUBMIT AND RETURN in Event DSAVC or DSAVE. Unfortunately this implementation
method has only poor options to handle errors. Second it is also hard to keep LUW
together.
Another idea is to call an additional
BDT instance in the DCHCK-event via FM BDT_INSTANCE_SELECT and the parameters
iv_xpush_classic = ‘X’ and iv_xpop_classic = ‘X’. At this time we didn’t get
this solution working correctly, because there is always something missing
(e.g. global memory is not transferred correctly between the two BDT instances).
So hopefully you can report
about your implementations to find a best practice approach for facing such
requirements.
Hallo
ich möchte an der Stelle eine Diskussion starten um einen Best Practice
Ansatz zu finden, der eine BDT Implementierung/Erweiterung beschreibt, bei der
verschiedene abhängige BDT-Objekte geändert werden. Momentan treffen bei uns
mehrere Anforderungen an, bei deinen Änderungen eines BDT Objektes an ein
anderes BDT Objekte vererbt werden sollen. Sprich es sollen weitere Objekte geänderte
werden, wenn ein Objekt (in unserem Fall ein Versicherungsvertrag) angelegt
oder geändert wird (zum Beispiel ein Geschäftspartner)
Die erste unserer Ideen war es, im Zeitpunkt DSAVC oder DSAVE einen
Report per SUBMIT AND RETURN aufzurufen. Dieser sollte dann die abhängigen Änderungen
durchführen. Allerdings gibt es hier Probleme mit der Fehlerbehandlung, da
diese asynchrone stattfinden muss. Weiterhin ist es auch schwer die Konsistenz der
LUW zu garantieren.
Ein anderer Ansatz den wir verfolgt hatten, war im Zeitpunkt
DCHCK per FuBA BDT_INSTANCE_SELECT und den Parameter iv_xpush_classic = ‘X’ and
iv_xpop_classic = ‘X’ eine neue BDT Instanz zu erzeugen. Leider konnten wir diese
Lösung nicht endgültig zum Laufen bekommen, da es immer Probleme beim
Übertragen der globalen Speicher der einzelnen BDT Instanzen gab.
Ich hoffe Ihr könnt hier eure Implementierungen kurz beschreiben, dass wir
eine Best Practice Ansatz für das Thema finden können

How can i find the transaction codes that supports BDT?

Hi,
1: transaction BP
2: menu BUPT contains all the necessary links for the BDT.
The Business data toolset (BDT) is a central control tool for maintaining SAP programs.
It supportsmaintenance via the use of dialog techniques, direct input and/or function modules.
3)The transaction to use BDT is GRANT_CUSTOMIZE.

BDT - Business Data Toolset and batch input

hi
i want to creat batch input for transaction REBDBE .
i use transaction shdb in order to creat batch input - i record my moved and the despite the messege that this table record was updated i go to the table using se11 and i dont see that it was NOT updated ( i am doing the same actions but without rcording and using shdb and table record was updated )
does anyone has an idea what can cause that???
thanks

Does the problem happen when you
1) do the (initial and only) record with SHDB,
2) or is it when you execute the program generated by SHDB?
For option 1), I think it can't happen, or there is a bug in the sap standard REBDBE (one possibility is that the standard tests for the SHDB mode and works differently from normal use, and there would be a bug in that case). In that case, ask sap support.
If it's with option 2, did you try to do a screen by screen execution? (execution mode "A")
You may also try to change another flag in the launch screen, there is a flag which by default stops the call transaction after the first commit work, sometimes it is a bad option. There is also another flag which allows to make the system believe it should work as in normal use instead of "batch input" mode.
Other possibilities :
- check that you don't have custom code in the standard programs
- check that you have removed all breakpoints when you execute, it may disturb the screen processing when it displays debugger screen ; it may only happen if you use the "old debugger"
Note that business data toolset usually proposes a direct input mode (see sap documentation), but that's far more complex to use than batch input.

hi;
Do like this
Once you have identified a candidate for enhancement via BDT (i.e. u2013 no SAP-provided dialog/screen exits), how do you find out what the application object is so that you can determine if it is an object registered for the BDT?
All BDT-enabled applications call function module u201CBDT_TBZ0A_GETu201D to find out specifically what, if anything, has been enhanced.
Put a break-point in the function module.
Execute the transaction that you are hoping to enhance.
When your break-point is hit, look at the value assigned to variable IV_OBJAP. This is your application object.
If the break-point is not hit, chances are that your application doesnu2019t use the BDT.

Best Practices for Connecting to WebHelp via an application?

Greetings,
My first post on these forums, so I appologize if this has already been covered (I've done some limited searching w/o success). I'm developing a .Net application which is accessing my orginazation's RoboHelp-generated webhelp. My organization's RoboHelp documentation team is still new with the software and so it's been up to me to chart the course for establishing the workflow for connecting to the help from the application. I've read up on Peter Grange's 'calling webhelp' section off his blog, but I'm still a bit unclear about what might be the best practices approach for connecting to webhelp.
To date, my org. has been delayed in letting me know their TopicIDs or MapIDs for their various documented topics. However, I have been able to acquire the relative paths to those topics (I achieved this by manually browsing their online help and extracting out the paths). And I've been able to use the strategy of creating the link via constructing a URL (following the strategy of using the following syntax: "<root URL>?#<relative URI path>" alternating with "<root URL>??#<relative URI path>"). It strikes me, however, that this approach is somewhat of a hack - since RoboHelp provides other approaches to linking to their documentation via TopicID and MapID.
What is the recommended/best-practices approach here? Are they all equally valid or are there pitfalls I'm missing. I'm inclined to use the URI methodology that I've established above since it works for my needs so far, but I'm worried that I'm not seeing the forest for the trees...
Regards,
Brett

PS: we're using RoboHelp 9.0

I've been giving this some thought over the weekend and this is the best answer I've come up with from a developer's perspective:
(1) Connecting via URL is convenient if (#1) you have an established naming convention that works for everyone (as Peter mentioned in his reply above)
(2) Connecting via URL has the disadvantage that changes to the file names and/or folder structure by the author will break connectivity
(3) Connecting via TopicID/MapID has the advantage that if there is no naming convention or if it's fluid or under construction, the author can maintain that ID after making changes to his/her file or folder structure and still maintain the application connectivity. Another approach to solving this problem if you're working with URLs would be to set up a web service that would match file addresses to some identifier utilized by the developer (basically a TopicID/MapID coming from the other direction).
(4) Connecting via TopicID has an aesthetic appeal in the code since it's easy to provide a more english-readable identifier. As a .Net developer, I find it easy and convenient to construct an enum that matches my TopicIDs and to utilize that enum to construct my identifier when it comes time to make the documentation call.
(5) Connecting via URL is more convenient for the author, since he/she doesn't have to worry about maintaining IDs
(6) Connecting via TopicIDs/MapIDs forces the author to maintain those IDs and allows the documentation to be more easily used into the future by other applications worked by developers who might have their own preference in one direction or another as to how they make their connection.
Hope that helps for posterity. I'd be interested if anyone else had thoughts to add.

BDT - Business data tool set

Hi all,
Can anyone please explain me what is BDT, where is it used and how is it implemented?
If possible please forward me any docs regarding that.
Thanks,
Vijay.

he Business data toolset (BDT) is a central control tool for maintaining SAP programs. It supports
maintenance via the use of dialog techniques, direct input and/or function modules.
The BDT is basically the tool SAP use when they want to add new fields, change field names, change/add
field groups etc for specific customers, but they are now starting to allow there customers access to these
maintenance transactions (i think mainly ramp-up customers at the moment).

Best Practices for many Remote Objects?

Large Object Model doing JDBC over RMI
Please read the following and provide suggestions for a recommended approach or literature that covers this area well?
N-Tiered Architecture
JSP/Servlet (MVC) - Database Access Layer - Database
Applets - JSp/Servlet Engine - Database Access Layer - Database
Application Layer - Application Layer - Database Access Layer - Database
I have an object model developed using Torque (A JDBC Object Relational modeling framework) for over 100 tables (to be over 160) that I am commencing to enable over RMI. I have got several remote methods up and running. For some of the simple methods starting up has been easy. Going forward I forsee issues.
Each table has a wrapper or data object and a peer object that have setters/getters and special methods as desired. The majority of these classes are extended from Base Objects that have basic common functionality for retrieving, creating, and manipulating with a database using SQL.
I have started building a Remote Interface and an Implementation class that invoke the necessary methods and classes within the Object Model to pull successfully off or update the database. Additionally the methods will need to return objects that represent non-primitive serializable dataobjects and collections of objects.
Going forward client applications, servlets, and jsps will be using the database in more complex and comprehensive methods over rmi. Here are a couple of things I am concerned about.
1) When to use java.rmi.server.codebase for class loading? In my implementation several of the remote methods will return objects (e.g Party, Country, CountryList, AccountList). These objects themselves are composed of other objects that are not part of the jvm. For all remote methods that return non-primitive objects must you include the classes in the codebase for the client to operate upon them. Couldn't this be pointless as you have abstract and extended classes all residing within the codebase? In practice do people generally build very thin proxy objects for the peer/data objects to hold just the basic table elements and sets?
2) Server Versioning/Identity - Going forward more server classes will be enabled via rmi. Everytime one wants to include more methods on interface that is available must you update the interface, create new implementation classes, and redistribute the Remote Interface, and stubs/skels to client apps to operate on again? Is there some sort of list lookup that a client can do to say which processes are available remotely presently (not just at initialization)? As time changes more or fewer methods might be available?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

More on Why other approaches would be better?
I have implemented some proxy objects for the remote Data Objects produced by Torque. To ease the pain, I have also constructed a proxy Builder that takes the table schema and builds a Proxy Object, an inteface for the proxy, and methods to copy between the Torque Data Object (which only lives on the server) into the Proxy Object (accessible by client and/or server).
The generated methods are useable in the object implementing the Remote Interface but are themselves not remoteable. Only the Server would use these methods. Clients can only receive primitives, proxy Objects, or collections of ProxyObjects.
This seems to be fairly light currently. I had to jump hoops to use Torque and enable remote apps to use the proxy objects. What would be the scaling issues that will come up? Why would EJBs with containers and all kinds of things about such as CMP vs BMP to be concerned with be a better approach?
Methods can be updated to do several operations verses Torque and return appropriately (transactions). In this implementation the client (Servlet, mini App or App) needs the remote stub and the proxy objects (100 or so) to stand in for the Torque generated Data Objects. A much smaller and lighter set of classes, based on common JDK classes, instead of the torque classes (and necessary abstracts/objects/interfaces/exceptions for Torque).

Best Practice - Changing description for Org Unit/Position or creating new?

Hello Freinds,
I just want to know from your experience what's normally practiced in your implementations for OM :-
For scenarios where there is a need to change the description of a particular org unit or position, do u
1. just change the description effective a particular date (to maintain history) or
2. put an end date to those objects and create new ones ?
Solution 1 is quick and easy, but in IT0001 the description displayed is as on start date of that infotype which is normally a date prior to the change in desc of those objects. As a result this infotype keeps displaying old description.
Is there any way to change this display to show the current description instead of the description as on start date of this infotype ???
Solution 2 calls for a lot of related activities, say if i create a new org unit and delemit the old one - then i have to move all the sub org units and positions into this new one ... which is quite time consuming and doesn't really seem practical.
How do u manage such scenarios ?
Thanks
Allen

We use option #1, although I am not sure this is best practice. Using option 1 for positions makes it challenging when it comes to reporting on length of time in position. We frequently have the scenario where a person is reorged not because they applied for another position, but just because the big wigs want to move around the chess pieces. In these cases we simply modify the position attributes and then run a PA action. Then if you run a query and use the standard delivered Length of time in position field, it appears as if the person has been in the same position for years (which they have), but their position has been retitled, re-graded, and re-orged numerous times. This makes it very difficult to get to an employee's length of time in their role.
This is a great discussion question I hope more people respond with what they do and why.

Best-practice for use of object styles to manage image text wrap issues when aiming at both print and EPUB output?

I have a work-flow question about object styles, text-wrap, and preparing a long document with lots of images for dual print/EPUB output in InDesign CC 2014.
I am sort of experienced with InDesign but new to EPUB export. I have hundreds of pages and hundreds of images so I'd like to make my EPUB learning curve, in particular, less painful.
Let me talk you through what I'm planning and you tell me if it's stupid.
It's kind of a storybook-look I'm going for. Single column of text (6" by 9" page) with lots of small-to-medium images on the page (one or two images per page), and the text flowing around, sometimes right, sometimes left. Sometimes around the bounding box, sometimes following the edges of the images. So in each case I'm looking to tweak image size and placement and wrap settings so that the image is as close to the relevant text as possible and the layout isn't all wonky. Lovely print page the goal. Lots of fussy trade-offs and deciding what looks best. Inevitably, this will entail local overrides of paragraph styles. So what I want to do, I guess, is get the images as closely placed as possible, before I do any of that overriding. Then I divide my production line.
1) I set aside the uniformly-styled doc for later EPUB export. (This is wise, right? Start for EPUB export with a doc with pristine styles?)
2) With the EPUB-bound version set aside, I finish preparing the print side, making all my little tweaks. So many pages, so many images. So many little nudges. If I go back and nudge something at the beginning everything shifts a little. It's broken up into lots of separate stories, but still ... there is no way to make this non-tedious. But what is best practice? I'm basically just doing it by hand, eyeballing it and dropping an inline anchor to some close bit of text in case of some storm, i.e. if there's a major text change my image will still be almost where it belongs. Try to get the early bits right so that I don't have to go back and change them and then mess up stuff later. Object styles don't really help me with that. Do they? I haven't found a good use for them at this stage (Obviously if I had to draw a pink line around each image, or whatever, I'd use object styles for that.)
Now let me shift back to EPUB. Clearly I need object styles to prepare for export. I'm planning to make a left float style and a right float style and a couple of others for other cases. And I'm basically going to go through the whole doc selecting each image and styling it in whatever way seems likeliest. At this point I will change the inline anchors to above line or custom, since I'm told EPUB doesn't like the inline ones.
I guess maybe it comes down to this. I realize I have to use object styles for images for EPUB, but for print, manual placement - to make it look just right - and an inline anchor seems best? I sort of feel like if I'm going to bother to use object styles for EPUB I should also use them for print, but maybe that's just not necessary? It feels inefficient to make so many inline anchors and then trade them for a custom thing just for EPUB. But two different outputs means two different workflows. Sometimes you just have to do it twice.
Does this make sense? What am I missing, before I waste dozens of hours doing it wrong?

I've moved your question to the InDesign EPUB forum for best results.

Best practice on integration message augmentation via user exit or rfc call

I am looking for documentation that would provide best practices on whether to use user exits to augment the data on an IDOC or to forward the standard SAP produced IDOC to PI where rfc calls are made to augment the data as required for the specific target system.
I am sure there are pros and cons for both solutions, but I am hesitant to use user exits since we now have moved the knowledge of what a target system wants from the integration layer to the source layer. If a second target system comes along in the future, the user exit becomes more complicated with additional target specific requirements.
Any links to best practice documentation on this subject is greatly appreciated.

Hi Steve,
Might be trying for solution for a long time, If i understood your question clear let me clarify you few points.
You are trying to access the bex query which is designed with the exit's in the background based on the logic and trying to call the entire dimensions and key-figures in a single connection. Then you are trying to map those data in the charts.
Steve, try to make more connections based upon the logic and split them. use the same query but split them by sales per customer group, sales per day, sales per week by making three different connections and try. You can merge the prompts from all connections.
Hope this Helps!!!
Sorry if i misunderstood your question.

Best Practice for Updating Infotype HRP1001 via Class / Methods

I want to update an existing (custom) relationship between two positions.
For example I want
Position 1 S = '50007200'
Position 2 S = '50007202'
Relationship = 'AZCR'
effective today through 99991231
Is there a best practice or generally accepted way for doing this using classes/methods rather than RH_INSERT_INFTY ?
If so, please supply an example.
Thanks...
....Mike

Hi Scott
You can use a BAPI to do that.
