hi
Object Oriented prg
A programming technique in which solutions reflect real world objects
What are objects ?
An object is an instantiation of a class. E.g. If Animal is a class, A cat
can be an object of that class .
With respect to code, Object refers to a set of services ( methods /
attributes ) and can contain data
What are classes ?
A class defines the properties of an object. A class can be instantiated
as many number of times
Advantages of Object Orientated approach
Easier to understand when the system is complex
Easy to make changes
Encapsulation - Can restrict the visibility of the data ( Restrict the access to the data )
Polymorphism - Identically named methods behave differently in different classes
Inheritance - You can use an existing class to define a new class
Polymorphism and inheritance lead to code reuse

Download and Upload(!) ABAP-Source and DDIC-Objects?

Hi,
is there a standard transaction or third party tool
to download and upload(!!) ABAP-Source (function modules,
function groups, module pools, reports...) and DDIC-Objects
(tables, structures, data elements) to a local file system?
In terms of uploading these objects it would be desirable
that the transaction/tool creates packages/development classes/.. on its own.
I would need that to copy the same source and ddic-objcets to different customer systems without doing it "manually" everytime.
Does anyone know advice?
Thank you,
Bernhard

Hi Bernd,

BOR Object and ABAP Class

Hi,
Can anybody say when to use BOR object and Abap class in the task with an example.
Thanks,
Mugundhan

There is no any specific condition or rule that for this purpose you need to use BOR and Class , it depends on your requirement. not only the requirement but also the new techniques to make classes not just as simple way to create objects but when you use classes in the Workflows they are not simple classes but they are BUSINESS CLASSES which makes a lot of difference.

Authorization objects in web dynpro ABAP and SU24 transaction

Hi,
I have created a new authorization object to check a storage location for certain activities. I have added the authorization object in a specific web dynpro ABAP and I have created a new role in PFCG for my web dynpro ABAP.
The organization level for storage location is not recognized in PFCG. Someone told me I have to maintain my authorization object in SU24 as it is done for transaction.
I wanted to maintain my web dynpro in SU24 but I found no way to do that.
It seems that we can maintain authorization for TADIR service and in those services there is R3TR WDYA but when I use the search help for OBJ_NAME I don't find may web dynpro ABAP. I suppose I have to create a TADIR service for my web dynpro ABAP or something like that but I don't know how to do ?
Does anybody know how to deal with specific authorization in web dynpro ABAP and t ohave the organizational level recognized in PFCG.
Thanks for your help,
Emmanuel

Hi,
Please RUN the function module as "AUTH_TRACE_WRITE_USOBHASH" with following parameter
R3TR
"custom webdynpro application"
SERVICE TYPE and Service can be kept blank
after this try SU24 it will be available in SU24 list.
Thanks & regards

Options for XML parsing in WAS 6.20 ABAP and higher

Hello Experts,
   What options are available to me for working with XML documents in SAP R/3 4.7? I am working on SAP WAS 6.20 ABAP and was wondering which tools/techniques I can use for parsing XML files?
   I am developing an ABAP program and primarily need to be able to parse XML documents. I need to be able to traverse up and down their data structures (trees/nodes/elements/etc.).
   In SAP R/3 4.6 I used to use the iXML library but it seems that there are many advanced and powerful features included in SAP WAS 6.20 ABAP and up.
   Could someone please give me a summary of and their opinions on some these "newer" options?
Thanks,
- Vik.

Hi Vik,
   There are two ways you can parse/interpret XML documents in ABAP -
   1. iXML - Which you have already used in 46 release. It wasn't easy to use set of functions but still it was possible to parse documents using iXML library. In WAS 6.20 you can now use class CL_XML_DOCUMENT which is much more easier to use than iXML library. It is bilt on top of iXML using the same DOM model.
2. XSLT - Useing XSLT_TOOLS or XSLT transaction you can create XSLT programs to transform XML to ABAP data objects and then work with ABAP data objects. In this case you have the option of using some other tool like XMLSPY to write the XSLT and then copy that to SAP.
From your post it looks like you will probably have to traverse the tree in unpridictable way, probably DOM based parsing using CL_XML_DOCUMENT is more suitable for you.
Cheers,
Sanjeev

Whats the difference between ABAP stack, ABAP+Java stack and Java stack

Hello,
I have a nagging doubt about the difference between the ABAP stack, ABAP+Java stack & the Java only stack. I believe that the method of applying the kernel for all the 3 types is different.
Also can we apply the ABAP support packs through JSPM.
Please put some light on this.
Thank you

Hi Zaheer
ABAP Stack
AS ABAP is used to provide the ABAP foundation of SAP NetWeaver.
Part of AS ABAP is the Search Engine Service (SES), which enables users to search for
business objects using Search and Classification (TREX). SES accesses Search and
Classification (TREX) functions through the Search and Classification (TREX) ABAP
client. SES replicates the business objects from the ABAP application to Search and
Classification (TREX), so that it can apply Search and Classification (TREX) search
functions to them. When a user enters a search query, the Search and Classification
(TREX) system responds to it, not the database for the ABAP application. For more
information, see the document Installation Guide SAP NetWeaver TREX Single Hosts /
Multiple Host.
Java stack
AS Java is used to provide the Java foundation of SAP NetWeaver. Among the key
capabilities of AS Java are:
J2EE Engine a J2EE 1.3-compliant application server for running enterprise
applications. In addition to the pure J2EE standard technologies, the J2EE
Engine implements complementary technologies, such as Web Dynpro or Web
Services, that are targeted at supporting large-scale, real-business application
development projects.
SAP Composite Application Framework Core (CAF Core) is a service-oriented
architecture for building and deploying composite applications. It enables
modeling of different service types entity services that represent a domain
model, application services that implement business logic, and external
services that offer connectivity to back-end services by means of remote
function calls (RFCs) or Web services. Usage type AS Java comprises the CAF
Core runtime environment, while design time tools are part of the SAP
NetWeaver Developer Studio.
Web Dynpro is the user interface technology for developing professional
business applications for mobile as well as for desktop clients. Web Dynpro
applications can easily be integrated into SAP NetWeaver Enterprise Portal,
providing a unified layout for the end user as well as enhanced navigation
support. Web Dynpro also allows, for example, the development of interactive
forms using the Adobe document services.
Adobe document services is a set of runtime services that provide a range of
form and document creation and manipulation functions such as:
Converting XML form templates (created using Adobe LiveCycle Designer)
to PDF and various print formats
Setting Adobe Reader rights to enable users to fill in and annotate forms,
save and print them locally, and include digital signatures for authentication
using the free Adobe Reader software
Extracting data from SAP applications into Interactive Forms and transferring form data
back into SAP applications using XML
ABAP + Java Stack
Contains both functionalities.
I hope this helps
Regards
Chen

Can WD ABAP and WD Java go hand-in-hand?

Hi,
Can WebDynpro ABAP and Java components work together?
For example, WD ABAP is used for ALV components and WD-Java used for custom objects.

Hey I know ABAP Objects and abap syntaxes but since I have never read java, I wanna know how important is it to know / learn syntaxes of java, when u use java with abap for technologies like XI and others do u use java syntaxes or abap object syntaxes or both............ If java Syntaxes then which all topic am I suppose to prepare to do well in this field.

Regarding Java mapping and ABAP Mapping

Hello,
If I suppose to do Java mapping or ABAP mapping, Is there any pre requisite to perform these two mappings?
If exist what they are?
How to perform them?
Thank you

Hello jyotsna,
Java mapping can be used when you have complex mapping structures.
We can do most of the times for our requirements through Graphical mapping.
When the structures are very complex to build you can go for SAX (Simple API for XML) or DOM (Document Object Model) parsers.
Message mapping internally generates DOM parser.

ABAP mappings run on ABAP Stack and are developed in the ABAP workbench of the Integration Server.
You normally do not need to use the ABAP mappings and is preferable for someone with ABAP programming background. I should say JAVA functions would suffice any complex scenarios.

You need to provide the name of your mapping program maually , you see it is an input box.
just provide the name of abap mapping program it will work.
and one more thing you cannot test abap mapping program in integration builer you need to test in abap only.
use tcode: SXI_MAPPING_TEST for testing abap mapping
