ABAP Development Issue

The Scenario is as follows.
Serial No.   -
>Invoice-->Invoice Date---->Material
Z646476E51-->110268872>13.09.2005----->ABDSXBOX
Z646476E50
Z646476E50
Z646476E53
Z646476E53
Z646476E53
The arrow marks seperate the columns.
The relationship between the data elements is as follows
Invoice No : Material :: 1: N
Material : Serial Number :: 1 : N
The Serial Number is the Unique random Number.
The user enters the serial Number in a report the system needs to find out the Invoice date to determine warranty.The total No of unique serial Numbers is 2500000. The serial Numbers from, say 2003 till date are as follows
100000000
200000000
A00000000
Z00000000
The response time of the report should be less than 2 seconds.
Could somebody propose a solution for this problem.

Hi Nithin!
Sounds like a completely wrong business design (but you are not the only one).
I can't re-design the whole process in some lines... but maybe this is necessary to get a reasonable business running in SAP.
Just a technical remark: if you have one (billing header text) field with multiple serial numbers, then there is absolutely no fast way to find a specific number in a large dataset. It has to be split in separate fields, otherwise SQL is quite useless (like with %xxx% can filter the results, but will never be a specific access to the required entry).
So if there will be explicit fields for SERNR, the it's not a header level -> has to be line level (no combining of lines). And then the standard SERNR field is as good as any other (own) field to store a serial number.
To make this really clear: MULTIPLE SERIAL NUMBERS IN HEADER TEXT CAN NOT WORK.

Christian

ABAP Development Estimate

Hello,
I have user request to develop a custom ABAP program that would combine the following:
1. Credit Master Data, Limits and Exposure data from FD33.
2. VA05 Order Backlog data
3. KE30 PA Report showing sales by customer and sales area.
4. A/R data from F.21
all in a new custom program. I have quoted an estimate on the number of days it
would take to design, code and test this development but I would like some external feedback from the ABAP community on how long this development would take.
Can you provide just some rough estimates on how long it would take an ABAP developer to write a program to combine all this information in a ALV report.
The user would want to select and filter all this data by customer number and sales org,distribution channel and division.
Thanks
chris

Hi Chris,
The estimate depends upon the complexcity of the issue or the design. Some companies have ABAP effort estimation tool which gives a rough figure of the total number of days required to develop a object based on the complexcity of the object.
Try to analyze and see how many database select is required, how many screens to be developed, how complex is the list output and how many test scenarios have to considered in unit testing. All these factor will contribute to determine how long it would take to develop an object. It also depends on the skill set your team has. If a person who is good in SAP SCRIPT would take less number of days to develop the script if its assigned to him. So it all depends on what kind of object you have to develop and its complexcity.

Two ABAP Development Clients with Transport enabled in Development System

Hello All,
I have a unique situation in my development systems. We currently have two abap development clients with client settings which allows repository transports to be created. The reason for this setup is because there are two different abap development teams who want to work independently.
Has anyone see two development clients in development system? Do you see any risk with having two abap development clients with transport enbaled? Should I force them to work in ONLY ONE ABAP development client?
I would like to know your thoughts?
Thx...Rocky

Hello,
It may not a good idea to have two development clients. You have to manage with the following issues:
(1) Customizing transports need to be moved to two clients
(2) You may have to peridically sync. them between each other with all the development objects
(3) Data needs to refreshed in two clients for development/unit test purposes
(4) Same object may be edited in two clients independently at the same time which is likely to go to Production at different times resulting in version sequencing issues
(5) Vension of data of object will be lost if you want to retrieve old version.
Thanks,
Venu

Voting Thread for the SAP NetWeaver ABAP Developer Edition for Linux

Hi Everyone,
as Mario Herger suggested in the discussion to his Blog [New Community Developer License is available|/people/mario.herger/blog/2010/01/20/new-community-developer-license-is-available] I start the topic requesting a SAP NetWeaver ABAP Developer Edition for Linux.
Best regards
Gregor

I think having a pre-packaged VMWare machine running on Windows or Linux would be great as it would help a lot of the non-Basis consultants get a system up and running. Perhaps even offer it as an AMI package on AWS so that hardware is not an issue.
I'd also like to see the traditional installation packages offered as many technical consultants use the build as a process to look at installation issue and post installation configuration.
I think both the pre-built and build it from scratch approaches have an audience here on SDN and I'd like to see both being offered.
In fact I'm just looking at the new license options one of which come with the DVD's which is ideal but at a price!
Thanks,
George M-A

Debugging is not working in R/3 from WebDynpro-ABAP developed webpage input

Dear Friends,
We are facing a serious problem for debugging. Expecting valuable input for the same.
Debugging is not working in R/3 from WebDynpro-ABAP developed webpage input in Production Server.
The debugging (for WebDynpro-ABAP application) is working in Dev. Server for
1st ] Within R/3
Ex. debug for bapi within R/3. i.e. value enter as input in R/3 only.
2nd ] From webpage to R/3
Ex. Some input given on the internet web page developed through WebDynpro and external breakpoint set in R/3 it works. It directs to R/3 code through debugging.
In Prod. Server the 1st case above is working but the 2nd case is not working.
In Prod. Server the WebDynpro developed applications are running successfully through internet explorer webpage inputs. So running the application is not a problem in prod. Server but debugging of the same is the problem.
The setting which are done in Prod. server are,
1] RZ10 in parameters are set for port and host name.
2.1] In SMICM check for ICM.
2.2] Host file updated in Windows-System 32.
3] In SICF following services are active,
3.1] default_host/sap/bc/webdynpro
3.2] default_host/sap/public/bc
3.3] default_host/sap/public/bc/webdynpro/viewdesigner
3.4] default_host/sap/bc/wdvd
3.5] default_host/sap/public/icman
3.6] default_host/sap/bc/gui/sap/its/webgui
3.7] default_host/sap/public/ping
3.8] default_host/sap/bc/error
3.9] default_host/sap/bc/echo
4] In SE80
4.1] Internet services-System-are published
4.2] Internet services-WEBGUI-are published
4.3] Utilities-Setting-ABAP Editor-Debugging-Username & New Debugger set.
4.4] Utilities-Setting-ABAP Editor-Editor-Front-End Editor(New) set.
5] In Su01 for user profiles sap_all & sap_new is assigned and role SAP_BC_WEBSERVICE_DEBUGGER is assigned.
6] The support packages are also updated to latest level.
7] Gone through following links but not getting any clues.

How can I connect with SAP NetWeaver 7.01 SR1 SP3 ABAP Developer Edition

Hello together,
I downloaded and installed the SAP NetWeaver 7.01 SR1 SP3 ABAP Developer Edition on a virtual client.
I toke a long period to finish the installation.
Now some questions to use this system in the right way:
1.) How can I get a "developer license" which do not expire? Because the link http://www.sap.com/minisap seems to be not ok.
2.) How can I connect via network with the sap system? the application server is running on a vm client with a static ip i.e. 192.168.1.5. And my laptop gets a ip in the same range. I have installed the gui on my laptop and tried to connect with the system. But it does not work! I used as application server the ip of the virtual machine. I use the gui witch is installed on the same host like the application it works (with localhost as application server adress)
3.) Where can I download the newest version of the SAP Gui? I do not have a service marktplace account? Is it possible?
4.) I read in the documentation that it should be possible to reach the sap system also with web dynpro: http://localhost:8000/sap/bc/gui/sap/its/webgui?sap-client=000
But it does not work. I got an error message: Service cannot be reached
Note
The termination occurred in system NSP with error code 403 and for the reason Forbidden.
The selected virtual host was 0 .
Regards
Christian

I fixed in the meantime the second problem. It was a problem with my local firewall. But the other three points are still open.
Thank in advance for your help

Abap development possible in B1 version

Dear Team
I wanted to find out whether SAP B1 version will allow us to do Abap development ?
If yes , any configuration to be carried out
Plz reply soonest
Regards
Chelian.M
FICO Consultant

Hi, That is not possible. The Application Middleware in R/3 or ECC or SAP Suite requires ABAP programming to interface with BASIS. There is no such architecture in SAP Business One - SAP B1 requires programming of UI, DI and Java DI interfaces which is done through VB, .net, C# or Java DI Webservices Interface programming. So there is no ABAP in SAP B1.

Oracle 11g - External Table/SQL Developer Issue?

Oracle 11g - External Table/SQL Developer Issue?
==============================
I hope this is the right forum for this issue, if not let me, where to go.
We are using Oracle 11g (11.2.0.1.0) on (Platform : solaris[tm] oe (64-bit)), Sql Developer 3.0.04
We are trying to use oracle external table to load text files in .csv format. Here is our data look like.
======================
Date1,date2,Political party,Name, ROLE
20-Jan-66,22-Nov-69,Democratic,"John ", MMM
22-Nov-70,20-Jan-71,Democratic,"John Jr.",MMM
20-Jan-68,9-Aug-70,Republican,"Rick Ford Sr.", MMM
9-Aug-72,20-Jan-75,Republican,Henry,MMM
------ ALL NULL -- record
20-Jan-80,20-Jan-89,Democratic,"Donald Smith",MMM
======================
Our Expernal table structures is as follows
CREATE TABLE P_LOAD
DATE1 VARCHAR2(10),
DATE2 VARCHAR2(10),
POL_PRTY VARCHAR2(30),
P_NAME VARCHAR2(30),
P_ROLE VARCHAR2(5)
ORGANIZATION EXTERNAL
(TYPE ORACLE_LOADER
DEFAULT DIRECTORY P_EXT_TAB_D
ACCESS PARAMETERS (
RECORDS DELIMITED by NEWLINE
SKIP 1
FIELDS TERMINATED BY "," OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"' LDRTRIM
REJECT ROWS WITH ALL NULL FIELDS
MISSING FIELD VALUES ARE NULL
DATE1 CHAR (10) Terminated by "," ,
DATE2 CHAR (10) Terminated by "," ,
POL_PRTY CHAR (30) Terminated by "," ,
P_NAME CHAR (30) Terminated by "," OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"' ,
P_ROLE CHAR (5) Terminated by ","
LOCATION ('Input.dat')
REJECT LIMIT UNLIMITED;
It created successfully using SQL Developer
Here is the issue.
It is not loading the records, where fields are enclosed in '"' (Rec # 2,3,4,7)
It is loading all NULL value record (Rec # 6)
*** If we remove the '"' from input data, it loads all records including all NULL records
Log file has
KUP-04021: field formatting error for field P_NAME
KUP-04036: second enclosing delimiter not found
KUP-04101: record 2 rejected in file ....
Our questions
Why did "REJECT ROWS WITH ALL NULL FIELDS" not working?
Why did Terminated by "," OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"' not working?
Any idea?
Thanks in helping.

I don't think this is a SQLDeveloper issue. You will get better answers in the Database - General or perhaps SQL and PL/SQL forums.

ABAP Development certification

Hi all;
I am certified as a support consultant for incident management for SAP business all in one, but I am thinking of having a career in ABAP Development, because I am into programming more.
I have good basics in ABAP but I wanted to know how long it would take me to be an associate developer in ABAP, and what material I need to cover in order to make sure that I pass the exam with the code: C_TAW12_70
Any advice will be great
~ Amal

Hi,
See this link for all the areas you need to cover:
http://www.sap.com/services/education/certification/certificationtest.epx?context=[[C_TAW12_70|G]]|
You would have to do all of these courses, and/or gain equivalent experience. That might take 2-3 years.
The test itself is not that hard, so you might still get through after somewhat less experience. It is a multiple choice exam.
cheers & good luck!
Paul

ABAP development in a non-unicode system

Does anyone have a "list of abap development considerations" when developing ABAP in a 4.6C system to also be sensitive to an upcoming UNICODE conversion project, that is, What do I need to be sensitive to concerning unicode when developing in a non-unicode 4.6C system to make the upgrade to unicode of these programs easier .

You can check the documents available at market place.
service.sap.com/unicode under section
Sap netweaver-> Sap Netweaver in Detail -> Application Platform -> Unicode -> ABAP and Unicode Library.
There is one document which is specifically related to 4.6c (Vorbereitung von ABAP Programmen für Unicode in 4.6C/D) but its in German.
You can go through the other documents and see whichever is applicable for 4.6c

ABAP Development Video legal question

Dear Community,
We would like to create something like a video tutorial for ABAP development for the beginner level based on the flight data model. We might simply put it on our websites unrestriced area, membership area or we might sell this as a product.
The system we are using for this beginner level development activity is the Netweaver Trial version, this is more then enough for this purpose.
Here comes the question; In the license agreement of the Netweaver ABAP Trial version there is this sentence:
"The SOFTWARE PRODUCT is "NOT FOR PRODUCTION USE". You may not demonstrate, test, examine, evaluate or otherwise use the Software Product in a live operating environment or with data that has not been sufficiently backed up. "
I do not fully understand this sentence. Would our activity considered as "production usage" and we might get legal troubles, or a commercial video tutorial is ok?
If we have a problem here, what could be the workaround? Subscription for a system hosted by SAP or maybe subsciption for a cheaper hosting like eg. www.michaelmanagement.com ?
I would really appreciate your oppinion.
Thanks,
Jozep

Yes, but only if you spend the future value 2 euro cents in dollars, and I don't think that Ryan Air is going to be stooping that low..

What about screenshots of all the source code? Or a video of it at runtime?

ABAP Development and "End User License"

Hi all,
I'm happy to join to SDN!!!
I newbe in the forum, and therefore I don't know if I post in the right section.
I'm a Netweaver Architect and ABAP Developer.
In the past I worked as java developer, and with other programming languages.
I have a doubt: is it possible (or forbidden by SAP AG??) to develop an ABAP package (which, obiousvly, contains Z / Y Abap objects) and apply an "End User License" on it, i.e. on the ABAP code written? (I mean that the copryrights are mine, and I give an "End User License" to my customers (that buy the license), in order to get and run my abap code). I would avoid to sell my Abap package, but, if possibile, I would only give it according a "Use License".
May I do this thing without any problems, or have I to consider other aspects, like ask to SAP to reserve a namespace, or obtain SAP Netweaver certification for my ABAP solution, or other things?
(Infact the "End User License" that I mean is different from "SAP End User License")
Please, let me know your opinion and how or who could solve my matter.
Many thanks to all.
Best Regards,
Albert
