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.

ABAP Development in multiple SAP versions

Greetings-
I was wondering if there were people out there who had the need to maintain ABAP code in multiple versions of SAP simultaneously. If so, what is your approach to do this efficiently?
Further explanation: My company is a software company that develops software to integrate with SAP. As such our customers use different versions of SAP ranging from 4.6C to ECC 6.0. Currently we are maintaining four different code bases to accomodate the differences in syntax and underlying architecture. I was wondering if anyone knew of any code management software, or if they had any creative business processes that they would be willing to share to make this as efficient a process as possible.
Thanks,
Andy

I am working in a sap upgrade for version 4.6C y ECC 6.0 ( Company REPSOL YPF ,one of the biggest petroleum enterprises)
The upgrade is not difficult at all. The worst task is control the modifications out of standard..
I am maintaning two versions and works twice. I think that it's not a good option to do it. It requires much control and the different version don't works equal.
The mechanism for making the upgrade easier its managing the transports order correctly.First the standard modifications ,UNICODE and then correct the funcionality . At last making the improvements in the last version only. You must synchronize both systems.
I don't know some tools to manage this but i haven't need it .I coordinate my development team perfectly

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 .

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

Software Configuration Management for ABAP Development ?

Hi,
we are a software company selling a Data Capture Solution.
For this, we are currently in the process to develop an interface for transferring the extracted data into a customer's SAP R/3 system.
Since we want to develop this interface following certain software engineering principles, we are looking for a way to solve certain simple common Software Configuration Management issues, such as:
- Object Versioning (Similar to file versioning in classic software development): That means being able to:
-- Keep track WHO changed WHAT WHEN and WHY?
-- Revert to a former version of an object (e.g. when the fix of a former defect must be revoked for some reason)
-- Keep track which changes have been made for a certain Change Request (NOT meaning SAP Change Requests, but Change Request for our interface development)
- Label a certain version state as 'released' or 'tested' or whatever
- Perform a kind of 'Branching' (Classical Software Configuration Management task), e.g. when we release a version of our interface and start the development of a new version, we must open a 'Maintenance Branch' of our released version parallel to the ongoing development of the future release.
When I say 'Objects', I mean everything being concerned when developing something within R/3; that can be ABAP programs, forms, tables (structure and content(!)), etc.
We are using an SAP System version ECC 5.0 for development; as for now, we have come to the conclusion to use the versioning that comes with the Transforms, although they do not really cover the above requirements as we would like to.
Is there anybody out there who had the same idea and solved it somehow?
My impression is that in the SAP world, classical Software Configuration Management is not a part of the way of thinking; and that development for SAP R/3 has little in common with classical software development.
But maybe there is an add-on or some hidden features of NetWeaver or anything that can solve these issues.
Hope is the last to die...
Thank you very much for any feedback,
Regards,
Jörg

Thank you very much for your answers!
@Pushkar:
No this is not exactly what I meant;
What we want to do is a kind of classical configuration management or at least version control of
development objects like ABAP programs, table definitions, table data etc. that are contained within our SAP development system.
It's not about version management of external documents imported into SAP.
I know that there is a kind of version control via Transports, but this does not cover all classical version control mechanisms; what we are missing there is
- the possibility of reverting to an older version of an 'object'
- Branching / Merging mechanisms
- the possibility to choose which changes I want to release with which transform and which objects
- view differences between arbitrary versions of an object
I was hoping there is maybe a kind of 'add-on' or maybe even a built-in tool that provides classical version control mechanisms or something similar.
Thank you for further help,
Regards,
Jörg

Save ABAP development history - Recommendations?

Hi,
We are analyzing the best way to save our ABAP development history. We
need SAP's comments on the following possible solution for our needs.
The possible scenario is as follows. The complete development history
is situated in our project development system. To ensure its (dev. history) future
existence we would like to export it and import it into our production
system, plus set the STMS-parameter VERS_AT_IMP to ALWAYS.
In this way we will save the dev. history from day zero and create a
version master on the production system for the future. Future system
copies will contain the dev. history but a version change will only
occur when you set a program into production.
This way we will safely contain a version master.
Questions:
1. Is the above scenario feasible?
2. What consequences mite we encounter when importing the dev. history
into the productions system?
Regards
Erik Elvhage

For me it is still only 4 pages (I'm on 25 per page) in "Community Discussions". However in the sub forums e.g. "Suggestions and Comments" I can browse to older pages, as opposed to my previous statement.
It's not really a problem from my point of view, as the response time seems to be slightly better.

Free Abap Development Environment

Hi,
I use to develop in ABAP on SAP R/3 4.6C at work.
I would like to know if it's possible to have a free version of R/3 or NetWeaver to learn more about ABAP programming at home and to learn about how to developp using .NET/ JAva technlologies with ABAP.
I eared about something called 'MiniWas ' but didn't find how to download it and what I can exactly I can do with it
Regards,
Morgan Bourgeois

Yes, I feel your pain Morgan, It can be confusing. I will try to hit all of your doubts here.
First the Sneak Preview that I pointed you to, is a MiniWas, you get all of the technology layer(basis) including the ABAP runtime, development envirnoment/tools, and everything that you had in previouse miniwas. Not sure why they have it listed the way they do, it is a little confusing. But they maybe pointing out the fact that this is the first miniwas where ABAP WebDynpro has been included. This is just like the WebDynpro Java, but on the ABAP stack. In this version you also get the new ABAP Editor, new debugger, and the ALV Object Model. The latter was available in the 6.40 version also.
This miniwas only have the technology layer, no functional modules of R/3 like PP, MM, SD, VC, etc.
Please remember that Netweaver is the platform for which SAP solutions run on top of. It has two sides(stacks), the ABAP stack and java stack. For example ECC(formerly R/3) runs on Netweaver, but on the ABAP stack. The Netweaver Portal runs on the java stack, but can invoke iviews which use Web Dynpro components which have be developed on the ABAP stack. Of course, it can handle other apps as well includeing java and .net.
The netweaver portal is simple a frontend in which you can tie all of your applications, whether SAP or non-SAP into one place for the end user to access. If you are accessing a backend system which is ECC(R/3), then yes, you would be calling a BAPI or RFC function module which is written in ABAP. (I hope this is clear)
HTMLB is like an abstraction from regular HTML. You can use this to develop your UI interface. You can use this in Business Server Pages(which can also be ran in an iView of the Portal) or in the JSP DynPage applications(which again can be in an iView). HTMLB is purely a UI technology which you can use in developing your applications. WebDynpro does not allow for using HTMLB, or HTML, but it probabaly uses it underneath, because the HTMLB interface looks/feels the same as WebDynpro UI.
If you have more follow up questions, please ask.

Is parallel development possible?

Hi,
Is parallel development possible using Policy Studio?
Assume that there is a team of 5 developers working on multiple policies at the same time and perform deployments at frequent intervals - is this scenario possible?
Asking this as me and my team met with deployment issues as listed below:
1) My copy of a specific container would be different from the one on a team mate's one - as I started creating policies after the team mate started with his work
2) Once a team mate deployed his/her artefacts, I would lose my artefacts (which the team mate was not having) which I was having on my container

Hi,
The short answer is no and in my opinion the biggest flaw with the API Server at the moment. I know for a fact this is something that is being worked for future releases but no idea when or exactly how it will work but it is a major update.
I work in a similar environment as you are describing and this is how I have implemented our process.
In our Dev environment we have one instance per developer, so each developer can work 100% independently. When the development is done and somewhat tested we export that sub-set of policies and check in to our version control system. We have one person responsible to deploy the exported policies into Test, which usually include updating some specific environment settings (updating URL's etc) and after this we do some regression testing.
One challenge is to be clear of what to export and not, for example LDAP connections. We have the LDAP connection already in test and we make sure this is not included in the Export but still there is a soft reference to this LDAP connection and this will work fine as long the connection is identical between the environments. This is best achieved if a "standard configuration" is made (including all settings for common flows as for example LDAP etc.) and that is being used as a base for the development environments. If there is a need to add common items, for example a new Root CA this should be done centrally and make sure all dev instances get the exact same update.
Cheers,
Stefan

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

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

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

Role of an ABAP Developer in XI

Hi,
I had worked on R/3 as an ABAP dev and I am planning to move to SAP XI.
I had gone through the XI fundamentals and I see that for an ABAP developer its a switch from an ERP to EAI tool. Before I start off with XI I thought to write to the right people to get myself cleared of my concerns.
I request anyone of you to provide me info on the below queries.
1) Is ABAP knowledge helpfull in SAP XI projects.
2) Is it possible to build the mapping logic in ABAP.
3) Is it mandatory to learn Java.
4) Will my knowledge on ALE/IDOCs and workflow will someway be helpfull to me in SAP XI.
5)4) Finally, Is XI recommened for an ABAP developer?
Thanks,
Ram.

Hi,
1) Is ABAP knowledge helpfull in SAP XI projects.
Most definately. As loads of time we have SAP as one of the interacting system. so your work is always easier in case of any middleware application if u know hte application system interacting.
2) Is it possible to build the mapping logic in ABAP.
yes u can. check this link:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/10/5abb2d9df242f6a62e22e027a6c382/content.htm
3) Is it mandatory to learn Java.
U don't need to be a guru but basic knowledge is going to really help.
4) Will my knowledge on ALE/IDOCs and workflow will someway be helpfull to me in SAP XI.
Very. Business process engine in SAP XI uses Workflow.
5)4) Finally, Is XI recommened for an ABAP developer?
this is one of the new end technology. so yes I guess

What happen to julius thread in ABAP DEVELOPMENT?

It was reformatted by the new 5000 characters per post limit
I am busy working on a solution to split them and move each part to its own respecting sub-development forum - but have not got to it yet. Sorry for being slow.
The FAQ and memorable discussions thread in the Security Forum is affected as well, but there is only one forum... :-((
Any creating ideas on how to fix that one (other than removing information from it)?
Cheers,
Julius

Actually it is happening since couple of week. Might be you have found yourself in this situation now.
Also there are two thread already open on the same. Perhaps you missed them.
Improper display of threads
And outstandingly "what happen to julius thread in ABAP DEVELOPMENT?" Nice Subject Line
Perhaps, It looks [Line of the day|Re: Line of the day!] !!
P.S. Subject tempered (Or Perhaps corrected)....;-)
Anyways,
@ Julius: Since there is 5000 Characters Limit has been introduced for keeping the forum neat, undersized and informative as much as possible rather than long bulky programs.
But My Question is What about the Programs and Threads which had already been posted in last 5-6 Years of SDN(now SCN)?
I can see all the previous threads also have been affected!
So Does SAP having any Programmer In their team of Michael Goeck or David Branan(Who is working from behind the scene ) to introduced the restriction of 5K chars based on Date?!?
Cheers

ECC 6.0 Webdynpro for ABAP development environment

Hello,
We are currently running ECC 5.0 and ABAP stack is only available as of ECC 6.0. Is is possible to download and install just ECC 6.0 development environment?
Thanks,
Alex

The ABAP development environement and runtime are integrated into the Business Suite release. Therefore ECC 5.0 runs on top of NetWeaver 2004 (6.40) and ECC 6.0 runs on top of NetWeaver 7.0. There is no way to directly mix ECC/NetWeaver releases nor can you directly transport NetWeaver 7.0 objects (like Web Dynpro ABAP) to a 6.40 based system since the runtime wouldn't be present.
You can however install a standalone NetWeaver Systems. Then you would have a separate instance with the ABAP 7.0 developement and runtime environement. You can use RFCs and Web Service Calls from this standalone system to read and write data to/from your ECC 5.0 system. You give up some of the benefits (like the integrated DDic value-help).

A few questions to the abap development team...

Dear Developers,
I am submitting these questions to the ABAP development team at SAP regarding the language capabilities.
Coming from the Java/C world I am wondering if you plan the following possible "evolutions" of the ABAP language :
   - a real boolean implementation in ABAP like in Java or C; possibly a OO class implementation with full operators;
   -> the possibilty to write conditionnal expressions or assignements like the followings :
   x = ( a and not b).
   if (x or f(x)=false) then ...
   - possibility in ABAP to nest function calls on objects like in most every OO language (java, c++, ruby...etc ) : x = a.b().c()
- Concerning the ABAP editor :
     - fixing the problem with the drag n drop problem from the class browser to the source editor of long method+class/interface names
     - real code completion on objects (no heuristic approach) by providing access to method or attribute names like in most OO IDEs
Any info could be interesting
Best Regards,
Olivier MATT

now that could be really interesting if you'd just tell us the questions!
