1) Are we suppose to give any current working experience from the company.Since i have resigned from the job and dont hold another job yet, can i appear for the certification ?
Can i submit my old experience letters?
2) Is there any other way of appearing for SAP certifications apart from appearing through TechEd.

Drop Down in ALV ABAP and NOT in OO - ABAP

Hello Everyone....
I m workin on an ALV which is in simple ABAP and not in OO-ABAP. There is some selection criteria on the first screen , as soon as the user fulfills the requirement an ALV GRID is displayed in which the last column is editable.
But the Problem is that i wanna make that editable field in ALV as drop down which would contain values from the database table.
Suggest me some method , so that i dont have to do much changes in my code .
A Sample code will be very benificial .
Thanx n Regards,
Harpreet.

Hi Harpreet,
[compiled from sap online help - always a good chice]
To make an input/output field into a list box, you must set the value L or LISTBOX in the Dropdown attribute in the Screen Painter. The visLg attribute determines the output width of the list box and the field. You can assign a function code to a list box field. In this case, the PAI event is triggered as soon as the user chooses a value from the list, and the function code is placed in the SY-UCOMM and OK_CODE fields. If you do not assign a function code, the PAI event must be triggered in the usual way that is, when the user chooses a pushbutton or an element from the GUI status.
If you have assigned a list box to an input/output field, you can use the Value list attribute of the screen element to determine how the value list should be compiled. There are two options:
Value list from input help (recommended)
If you do not enter anything in the value list attribute, the text field uses the first column displayed in the input help assigned to the screen field. The input help can be defined in the ABAP Dictionary, the screen, or a POV dialog module. It should be laid out in two columns. The key is automatically filled.
Value list from PBO modules (not recommended).
If you enter A in the value list attribute, you must fill the value list yourself before the screen is sent (for example, in the PBO event) using the function module VRM_SET_VALUES. When you do this, you must pass an internal table with the type VRM_VALUES to the import parameter VALUES of the function module. VRM_VALUES belongs to the type group VRM. The line type is a structure consisting of the two text fields KEY (length 40) and TEXT (length 80). In the table, you can combine possible user entries from the KEY field with any texts from the TEXT component. You specify the corresponding input/output field in the import parameter ID.
Examples
Example
Dropdown box with a value list from input help (recommended)

            no_values_found = 2
            OTHERS          = 3.
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
ENDIF.
ENDMODULE.
The next screen (statically defined) for screen 100 is 100. The only input field on the screen is the component SDYN_CONN-CARRID. Its Dropdown attribute is set to L, and it has the output length 20. The Value list attribute is empty, and it has the function code SELECTED. The function codes of the buttons EXECUTE and CANCEL. CANCEL are defined in the GUI status as having the function type E.
The screen flow logic is as follows:
PROCESS BEFORE OUTPUT.
MODULE status_0100.
PROCESS AFTER INPUT.
MODULE cancel AT EXIT-COMMAND.
MODULE user_command_0100.
PROCESS ON VALUE-REQUEST.
FIELD sdyn_conn-carrid MODULE create_dropdown_box.
Users cannot enter any values into the screen fields. When they choose the input field on screen 100, the system displays a list box. The Value list attribute is empty, so the system launches the input mechanism. In this case, the event block PROCESS ON VALUE-REQUEST is created in the screen flow logic. This event block controls all other mechanisms. A two-column internal table is filled in the appropriate dialog module and passed to the input help using the F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST function module. The system inserts the two columns of the table into the list box.
When the user chooses a line in the list box, the PAI event is triggered using the function code SELECTED and the value in the first column of the internal table is copied to the input field.

Clemens

Difference between Reports in normal ABAP and Reports in CRM

Hi Experts,
I am new to CRM. Can someone tell me the Difference between Reports in normal ABAP and Reports in CRM.
It will be very useful if someone explains with example.
Some where in SDN i read in CRM we should not select statment. Then how to fetch data?
Please give me more basic concepts about CRM programming.
Thanks,
RAGU

Hi Ragu,
You can find much information at http://service.sap.com/crm-inst.
Go to Installation & Upgrade Guides -> SAP Business Suite Applications -> SAP CRM
Check the CRM version in which you are working and get the documents.
FMs are specific to the requirement. Like all Business Partner related FMs generally start with BUPA* or BAPI_BUPA*.
For CRM transaction data you can get info using FM CRM_ORDER_READ. To create a new transaction use CRM_ORDER_MAINTAIN and CRM_ORDER_SAVE.
More information can be fetched by surfing through the SDN threads and checking in SE37 t-code.
Hope this helps!

Saumya

How to parse XSD in ABAP and convert into models

Hello Experts,
I have a scenario where XSD is available in ABAP and want to parse it and convert into object such as XSD Schema, XSD Complext Type, XSD Simple Type etc... (that is create a DOM model of XSD)
Are there some standard APIs which can provide this feature?
Thanks & Regards,
Arpit

Hi Arpit,
If my understanding of your requirement is correct then the class - CL_FP_XSD_FOR_ABAPTYPES, should help you out.
Let me know how this works out, or i am completely off your requirement.

Testing SSL Connections, differences between ABAP and JAVA stacks

Hello,
   I am trying to test an outbound SSL connection to a partner.   I already have multiple outbound connections to many partners, but this new one is causing an issue.   Our firewalls between the two sites are opened as required, I verified that I can telnet to the 443 port of their sever.   I then attempted to connect to their URL, via a Java SOAP message, and it is rejected. Some kind of error regarding our handshake.
   In an attempt to troubleshoot the issue I entered their URL in SM59 as a HTTPS connection, tested it, it worked fine.   Which indicates to me that the ABAP side works fine.
   I do the same on the Java stack, via the SOA Manager: Destinations, and it fails.
"Error during ping operation: Error while silently connecting org.w3c.www.protocol.http.Http.Eception: Peer sent alert: Alert Fatal: unexpected message"
I was thinking that maybe the remote partner only allows specific types of SSL version connection, and the Java side is too low. i.e. the partner only allows TLS v1, and we are attempting to use SSL v2.    Is there a place to set this on the Java side? I know I can set inbound parameters on ICM via SMICM.
Any help or assistance would be most appreciated.
Thanks,
Michael Montone

Hi,
I suggest that you verify if you use the same release of the SAP Cryptolib for the ABAP and the Java stack.
This could explain a difference of support for SSL or TLS.

ABAP and Java Stack: Which to choose/supported standards and components?

Hello,
I am trying to understand the role of the two stacks in NW. Maybe anyone has a few
hints where I can find answers to the following questions:
- An overview of supported Standards (Java 5 since when?)
- An overview of which component runs on which stack? Portal->Java, Integration Server->ABAP and so on.
- Guidelines when to install both stacks and when to use just one stack? When do I use which one?
- Has SAP an stategy towards an one Stack solution (possibly Java?)
Best regards and thanks for any pointers!
Stefan

An overview of supported Standards (Java 5 since when?)
Go to service.sap.com/pam
Product Availability Matrix will tell you about supported version and platforms.
An overview of which component runs on which stack? Portal->Java, Integration Server->ABAP and so on.
Usually the question goes the other direction: what stacks we need for implementation of a particular function?
More and more products require ABAP backend and Java frontend.
For example Employee Self Service has been transerred from ABAP only ITS based to ABAP backend and Java frontend.
Same with SRM.
Guidelines when to install both stacks and when to use just one stack? When do I use which one?
Same as above, driven by business requirements, not technology.
Has SAP an stategy towards an one Stack solution (possibly Java?)
No. Core business functions are still being developed on ABAP and interface, GUI etc utilize JAVA.

Slava

Procedure to deploy ABAP and JAVA in sync

Hi,
we have a Java application which uses RFC's in a SAP backend though the JRA.
We use netweaver 2004 sp16.
When we make changes to an RFC which is used by the Java application we must restart the whole J2EE server for the JRA to reload the structures of the RFC.
Now we are starting to use the JDI and deployment is automatic when we activate changes.
Is there a way to avoid having to restart the J2EE server ? Has someone used other techniques which don't force you to restart the J2EE server ?
I would understand restarting the connectors in the worst case but the whole server is really overkill if you ask me .
Thanks.

Hi,
yes I'm sure we had to restart the whole server (JVM). We tried restarting the connectors but it seems something is held in cache. Does the JCO cache the abap data structures required to call RFC's in ABAP ?

HR deals with the INFOTYPES which are similar to Tables in General ABAP.
There are different ways of fetching data from these infotypes.
There are different areas in HR LIKE Personal Admn, Orgn Management, Benefits, Time amangement, Event Management, Payroll etc
Infotypes for these areas are different from one another area.
storing of records data in each type of area is different
LDBS like PNP are used in HR programing.
Instead of Select.. we use some ROUTINES and PROVIDE..ENDPROVIDE.. etc
and in the case of Pay roll we use Clusters and we Import and Export them for data fetching.
On the whole Normal ABAP is different from HR abap.

All custom developed infotypes stsrat with PA9000 onwards.
In payroll processing we use Clusters like PCL1,2,3 and 4.
Instead of Select query we use PROVIDE and ENDPROVIDE..
You have to assign a Logical Database in the attributes PNP.

Look at the below link
And finally,
Few notes are below:
InfoSets in the HR Application
You can use SAP Query in HR to report on HR data. Queries are maintained as described in Creating Queries. The special features of queries created for HR are described in Maintaining Queries in the Human Resources Application. The maintenance procedure for HR InfoSets differs from the described procedure inasmuch as HR data fields are grouped together in infotypes.
InfoSet management in SAP Query is also used for InfoSet Query. For further information, see Functions for Managing InfoSets.
If you want to create InfoSets for HR, you can use logical databases PNP, PNPCE, PAP, and PCH (see HR Logical Databases). The database you must use to create your InfoSet depends on the component in which the data you want to report on is stored.
The reports you can execute using InfoSets based on logical databases PNP (or PNPCE) or PCH are similar, but differ in that they can select different objects. The following table describes the connection between the logical database, and the infotypes you can include in an InfoSet. It also provides you with one or two examples of reports that you can execute using the appropriate InfoSets.
Logical database PNP/PNPCE* PCH PAP
Selection of Persons Objects from Personnel Planning Applicants
Infotypes that can be included in the InfoSet Infotypes for· Personnel Administration (0000-0999) · Time Management (2000-2999) · Payroll infotypes · Infotypes for Personnel Planning objects that can be related to persons If the object type is specified:· Infotypes for the object type · Infotypes for objects that can be related to the specified object typeIf the object type is not specified:· All infotypes · Infotypes for Recruitment (4000-4999)· Some infotypes for Personnel Administration (such as 0001 and 0002)
· Customer infotypes
Reporting examples · Selection of all persons who participated in a specific business event, output of prices for reserved business events · Selection of all persons assigned to a specific personnel area, output of qualifications held by these persons · Selection of all business events held in London in March, output of all persons who participated in these business events · Selection of all positions assigned to a specific organizational unit, output of all persons assigned to the positions · Selection of all applicants hired last year to work on special projects, output of addresses for the applicants selected
Logical database PNPCE (PNP Concurrent Employment) functions just like logical database PNP. The procedure for creating InfoSets is also the same. It only becomes significant if you work with Concurrent Employment.
Creating InfoSets
The maintenance procedure for HR InfoSets differs from the procedure described so far in this section inasmuch as HR data fields are grouped together in infotypes. To set up an InfoSet for the HR application, proceed as follows:
1. On the initial screen for maintaining InfoSets, enter a name for the InfoSet and choose Create.
2. On the next screen, enter a name for the InfoSet and select one of the HR logical databases in accordance with your reporting requirements.
Customer infotypes can be created on all HR logical databases. In each individual case, therefore, you must decide which database to select so that you can report on customer infotypes.
This screen enables you to enter an authorization group. All of the queries that are subsequently created using this InfoSet can only be executed by persons who have this authorization group.
3. Choose .
This takes you to the Infotype Selection for InfoSet screen. You now have the option of creating field groups and assigning fields as required for non-HR InfoSets. Field groups that correspond to infotypes and already contain fields, however, are always created for HR InfoSets. The field groups are displayed in an overview tree in the top right section of the screen.
The infotypes that you included in the InfoSet are displayed in an overview tree on the left of the screen. The infotype fields that are already included in field groups are displayed in a different color, and the corresponding field group ID is displayed.
In the standard system, a field group is created automatically for each infotype that you included in the InfoSet (a field group corresponds to an infotype).
In the standard system, each field group contains the infotype-specific fields. To ensure that working with the InfoSet is as easy as possible, you are advised to restrict your use of fields in each field group to those you really require. This means you should remove fields that are not required.
An infotype's fields must only be assigned to the pertinent field group. Make sure this assignment is correct. If the assignment is incorrect, the InfoSet could be rendered unusable.
When an InfoSet is created, the following fields are transferred automatically to the first field group:
§ Logical database PNPCE or PNP Personnel number
§ Logical database PAP Applicant number
§ Logical database PCH Object ID, plan version, and object type
6. Determine the fields that must be included in the field groups of your InfoSet. If you require further information, see Assigning Fields to a Field Group.
If you want, you can change the default sequence of field groups and fields as required using Drag&Drop.
7. To save the InfoSet, choose .
8. To generate the InfoSet, choose .
On the Change InfoSet (InfoSet name) screen, you can choose Edit ® Change infotype selection to add more infotypes to the InfoSet, or to remove infotypes from the InfoSet. Remember to regenerate the InfoSet afterwards.
This screen also enables you to update InfoSets if, for example, the system contains new additional fields for specific key values. To do so, choose InfoSet ® Additional functions ® Update additional HR fields.
9. Go back to the initial screen for InfoSet maintenance.
10. Choose User group assignment.
11. Select a user group, and save your entry.

ABAP and HR-ABAP

Dear All,
My self is Chandra Gopal, I have 3 yrs of core HR exp and good knowledge on ABAP also. I would like to take HR-ABAP course from MKT. Could you please give me your suggesion on this.
I don't have Technical background education. I just completed my BSc(Maths) and MBA (HR).
My question is weather I am suitable for HR-ABAP or just SAP HR?
Expecting positive replay on this.
Regards,
Chandra Gopal.

hi there is no need to bother about the hr abap i am also an hr abaper. it doesnt requires much skills about the functional..it had no big difference with other modules..check these links ..

Can we have ABAP and PI in same client in the same system?

Hi Consultants,
Can inbound and outbound scenarios work, if the ABAP and PI (7.01) is in the same client ?
If yes, then can you please let me know the settings and configurations required.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Naushad

Hello
Please elaborate on your requirements. Are you talking about proxy scenarios? Do you mean can the PI Integration Server client act as a proxy Sender/receiver?
If yes, I don't think this is possible.

SAP-EP in ABAP and JAVA ?????

Hi all,
When i started studying about for implementing each and every thing in EP/EP-related things it can be done in ABAP and JAVA as well.
I am really worried about this i am already an ABAP consultant and though i have knowledge of J2EE i prefer to follow ABAP version of EP i.e. Dynpro in ABAP and Adobe forms in ABAP..
But i heard that market is good only Java version of implementing the EP.
and SAP it self is suggesting to go for JAVA version.. in that case why has it created ABAP dynpro,ADOBE forms etc etc.
why there are 2 ways (JAVA and ABAP) is it to confuse?? please help .. even if i learn ABAP version of everything will that be useful or not?? As u r already into EP,you guys can tell me is there market for ABAP version of implementing EP related things!!
Please reply.
Thanks in advance.
==============
Srini...

hi srinivas....
this is what i feel abt the question......
to answer ur question, one has to think in the perspective of SAP Labs.
there are two ways of doing what u have mentioned and its not to confuse.....
ABAP is the proprietary language of SAP and therefore u dont find as many developers or intellectual manpower in ABAP as u can find for JAVA.....
SAP is trying to focus and capture the medium and small scale markets and industries for which it requires lot of manpower.....
so JAVA is its choice.....
there can be a lot more reasons behind it.....but this is what i feel.....

Diff. bet ABAP and SAP Query

HI
Anybody can explain in detail about ABAP and SAP Query.....
And tell me what is the main diff. bet ABAP and SAP Query...
Regards
S.Baskaran

SAP Query
Purpose
The SAP Query application is used to create lists not already contained in the SAP standard system. It has been designed for users with little or no knowledge of the SAP programming language ABAP. SAP Query offers users a broad range of ways to define reporting programs and create different types of reports such as basic lists, statistics, and ranked lists.
Features
SAP Query's range of functions corresponds to the classical reporting functions available in the system. Requirements in this area such as list, statistic, or ranked list creation can be met using queries.
All the data required by users for their lists can be selected from any SAP table created by the customer.
To define a report, you first have to enter individual texts, such as titles, and select the fields and options which determine the report layout. Then you can edit list display in WYSIWYG mode whenever you want using drag and drop and the other toolbox functions available.
ABAP Query, as far as I Believe, is the use of select statements in the ABAP Programming. This needs a knowledge of Open SQL commands like Select,UPdtae, Modify etc. This has to be done only by someone who has a little bit of ABAP experience.
To sum up, SAP queries are readymade programs given by SAP, which the user can use making slight modification like the slection texts, the tables from which the data is to be retrieved and the format in which the data is to be displayed.ABAP queries become imperative when there is no such SAP query existing and also when there is a lot of customizing involved to use a SAP Query directly.
