Transitioning From ABAP To FICO

Dear Gurus,
As Stated on this topic discussion, i would be very much appreciated to receive any advice and notable documents / compilation on how to start to be a SAP - FICO consultant.
I've done throughly serch in the net about topic on how to be an effective SAP FICO counsultant and it helps me alot to know the basics, however i assumed that SAP is always inevitable for change specially in FICO, this is because the blogs and post i've read is already in the past and i just wanna know what are the most important things to start in FICO these days.
Your response is highly appreciated,
Mark.

Hi Marky,
Krishna pointed out correctly to you. If you have background of Accounting then it would be ideal choice. However, I can see the subject from ABAP to FICO. You have to see which one you are very comfortable on the process side when you were worked with SAP Functional consultants SD, MM, PP, FI etc. Also, check what is your study and domain background because it gives you a ladder to move fast in terms of understanding on functional side.
If you have already worked on SAP FICO ABAP then it would be an ideal choice, but check above points before moving into correct SAP modules.
Regards
GGOPII

XML files from ABAP programs

Create XML file from ABAP with SOAP Details

Hi,
I am new to XML and I am not familiar with JAVA or Web Service. I have searched in SDN and googled for a sample program for creating XML document from ABAP with SOAP details. Unfortunately I couldn't find anything.
I have a requirement for creating an XML file from ABAP with SOAP details. I have the data in the internal table. There is a Schema which the client provided and the file generated from SAP should be validating against that Schema. Schema contains SOAP details like Envelope, Header & Body.
My question is can I generate the XML file using CALL TRANSFORMATION in SAP with the SOAP details?
I have tried to create Transformation (Transaction XSLT_TOOL) in SAP with below code. Also in CALL transformation I am not able to change the encoding to UTF-8. It's always show UTF-16.
<xsl:transform xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:sap="http://www.sap.com/sapxsl" version="1.0">
<xsl:template match="/">
 <SOAP:Envelope xmlns:SOAP="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
 <SOAP:Header>
 <CUNS:HeaderInfo>
 <CUNS:InterfaceTypeId>10006</InterfaceTypeId>
 <CUNS:BusinessPartnerID>11223344</BusinessPartnerID>
 <CUNS:SchemaVersion>1.0</SchemaVersion>
 <CUNS:DateTime>sy-datum</DateTime>
 </CUNS:HeaderInfo>
 </SOAP:Header>
 <SOAP:Body>
 <xsl:copy-of select="*"/>
 </SOAP:Body>
 </SOAP:Envelope>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:transform>
In ABAP program, I have written below code for calling above Transformation.
call transformation ('Z_ID')
 source tab = im_t_output[]
 result xml xml_out.
call function 'SCMS_STRING_TO_FTEXT'
 exporting
 text = xml_out
 tables
 ftext_tab = ex_t_xml_data.
Please help me how to generate XML file with SOAP details from ABAP. If anybody have a sample program, please share with me.
Is there any easy way to create the XML file in CALL Transformation. Please help.
Thanks

Try ABAP forum, as it seems not to be PI related.

SOFM: Dsiplay method is not working when called from ABAP Webdynpro

Hi All,
I want to open an attachment from ABAP Webdynpro.
I have approached in this fashion:
1) Get the attachments as SOFM object key
2) On Click of a link on Webdynpro, I am calling a function module within which I am creating an instance of the SOFM object
3) Then I am calling the DISPLAY method
It is not opening.
But, if it opens when I driectly execute the function module. It open when I directly test the business object.
Any Idea ?
Thanks & Regards,
Deb

Display Method uses the Dialogue Module, You should not access such methods in web dynpro which are SAPGUI specific.
Web Dynpro Applications are run in Browser environment which cannot understand Dialog, it can understand only HTML.
Read the attachments and get the content and use FileDownload UI element to show it to user.

Print html file with barcode from abap report

hi
i am printing html file from abap program using gui_execute.
i am using netscape.exe , its printing first time and when reprint its not working
basically html file contains gif file which has fedex barcode.
could you please let me know how to print html file from report

where to check RAW or TEXT? the print report vi only asks for file name and printer name.
When I print from notepad, everything just goes by default. This is a label printer, so I never need to specify printing parameter such as size, orientation, etc in the past
Famous last words go something like this: "...never had to do that before." Maybe you have to do that now. It's worth at least comparing the defaults settings for bothe generic drivers. It could save you a lot of headache if you notice something different.

How move file with space in the name to another foler on Linux from ABAP?

Hi experts,
My requirement is to move the file on Linux to another folder via ABAP program.
IN SM49 is defined ZMOVE command for "mv" operating system command. In ABAP, fm:
SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE calls ZMOVE external command to move the file to another folder.
But in case that file has space in the file name, then the fm gives error and the file can not be moved.
I have tried as given in the Note 1152084 - Parameter for external commands but it doesn't work.
Don't know if the reason is that the note is for Windows or Unix and we have Linux.
So, I have tried with ''%file name%' and '''file name'''.
PLease advice hoe to move file on Linux to another folder from ABAP program if the file has spec in the name.
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards,
Danijela Zivanovic

Hi,
You can also try :
mv "file\ name" /<path_to_new_dir>
(Put "\" before each space)

I have .me and .mac email accounts on my iPhone 4. I thought I had successfully transitioned from MobileMe to iCloud, but something must be wrong. iCloud seems to work fine on my computer and, with the exception of two email accounts, seems to be fine on

I have .me and .mac email accounts on my iPhone 4. I thought I had successfully transitioned from MobileMe to iCloud, but something must be wrong. iCloud seems to work fine on my computer and, with the exception of two email accounts, seems to be fine on my phone. Can/should I delete the accounts on my phone and start over? It is somewhat of a nuisance to have two email accounts and double the amount of emails. The only thing different about the two iCloud accounts is the email addresses. Thanks.

Well, seems I managed to unscrew this...I deleted my iCloud mail account and reinstalled it on my phone. That got rid of the duplicate .me/.mac email accounts.

Is there a way to extract the transitions from the trailers in iMovie '11 to use in my own movie?

I want to create an iMovie, and I'd like to use bits and pieces from the different movie trailers templates. Is there a way for me to extract just the transitions from these trailers.
I don't want to use the trailers themselves as they are now because the options are too limited in respect to how I can create the movie. For example, there are times where I only want two words on the screen, but I am forced to use three instead. Also, I would like to delete such things as "cast" and "credits," but it doesn't seems like I can do that either.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Cheers.

No there is not.
You could create a trailer, share it and then re-import and cut out just the pieces you want, but I don't think that's what you're looking for.

Error message from ABAP to BW portal

Hi
I need to write error message from ABAP to BW portal.
If I write as usual: message E001(ZBW).
Then I get a dump in portal.
Does anyone know how to post error message in this case?
Thanks.

Hi,
You need to use the function module RRMS_MESSAGE_HANDLING to post any kind of messages in the report output/web template or portal.
You can pass the values trough the below parameters:
              I_CLASS = 'ZBW'
              I_TYPE   = 'W'
              I_NUMBER = '006'
