ABAP OO - Creating/copying interface

Dear,
I've lots of experience in 'native' ABAP, but I'm new to OO, hence these 2, perhaps somewhat strange questions.
1. When I look at a standard SAP interface using SE24 (e.g. IF_BCM_SAVE), I see it contains some methods, but I expect to be able to double-click and see the source-code of the method; why can't I get there?
2. When I want to copy this interface to one of my own (e.g.ZIF_BCM_SAVE) because I want to add some functionality, will the underlying code of the used methods be copied as well? If not, what is the way forward?
Thanx a lot for your reply!
Regards,
Marco

Hello Marco,
Interfaces is just the skeleton of the class definition.
If you want to have your own code for all or any of the methods that interface is havings then you can create an instance of that interface and implement those methods with you own code.
That is the advantage of object oriented programming. And if you want to use the standard method or original method's functionality then you have call the method along with the class which implemented it like below
class => method1
Thanks

How to create web interface whose name includes _ (underscore)

Hi Experts,
In my project we are creating web interface. The steps are as below:
1) Run transaction code upspm and copy the planning folder
2) Save the planning folder as web enabled planning folder
3) Generate web interface for step 2. Here I have to provide following details:
Name of planning folder
Web Application
Package
I have to create Web Application whose name should include _ like ztest_test
The system is not allowing me to create web application whose name includes _
Can you please how I can create web application whose name includes _
I am not allowed to use the wizard or manual method to create web interface.

U can use the transaction BPS_WB to create u r web interface builder and for execute check another transaction BPS_wef (check once).
UPSPM for planning folder not for web interface builder.

E- Rec - Hiding links - Create / copy requisistions in Recruiter start page

I use a MSS view for creating Requisitions and hence want to hide Create / Copy requisitions link in Recruiter start page --> maintain requisitions.
Cn it be done with context changes. If yes, Can some one provide some info on the steps required.
Thanks
G Raj

Hi,
if you want to change the the appearance (grouping, links, texts) of a startpage this is completely done in customizing or better said you can define your own startpages and use some parts of the sap delivery if you like. The customizing for sartpages can be found in the IMG (T-Code SPRO) under SAP E-Recruiting -> Technical Settings -> User Interfaces -> (Settings for User Interfaces with Business Server Pages (BSP)) -> Start Pages.
We usually define customer startpages in every project, this is really no big deal.
If you want to remove a link from a page you should start by analysing the standard startpage as you will have to "rebuild" it. The standard startpage for the recruiter is 0003. Important to know is that IMG only contains customer customizing. The sap standard delivery is stored in own tables which can only be accessed using table tools e.g. SE11 or SE16.
The tables for startpage customizing are named T77RCF_SP*:
T77RCF_SP_ID(C) - Startpages
T77RCF_SP_ID(C)T - Startpages texttable
T77RCF_SP_GROUP(C) - Startpage groups (the blocks with a number of links)
T77RCF_SP_GROUPT/GRPCT - Startpage groups texttable
T77RCF_SP_LINK(C) - Links
T77RCF_SP_LINK(C)T - Links texttable
T77RCF_SP_ASID(C) - assignment of groups to startpages
T77RCF_SP_ASGRP(C) - assignments of links to groups
The table without C is the standard delivery, the one with C is the one for customer customizing.
Just take a sheet of paper and start by getting all groups to the startpage 0003. This should be 1005, 1000, 1001, 2000, 1002, 1004, 1003 but could differ depending on release and support package. As you only want to change the 2nd group you will be able to reuse the others. Next get the links to the group you want to change. In my system it's group 1000 which contains links 1000, 1001, 1003 and 1004 according to T77RCF_SP_ASGRP.
When you have this info you can start customizing your own startpage. you will need to create a new group in the IMG node -> Define Start Page Groups. Just use the information you find in the standard delivery and assign the 3 links you want to keep. Then create your startpage and assign the standard groups and instead of 1000 your own.
Althought it is possible to use the same numbers for IDs like SAP I prefere using 9NNN for the ids so you always know if its standard or customer. furthermore do not forget to udate your authorization roles and add the new startpage.
Best Regards
Roman Weise
PS: of course it is your decision to hide links. But even if the managers create the requisitions using MSS the recruiters will work with their startpage only and they will have to be able to create and maintain requisitions so i am not sure if hiding the link is a good idea.

Importing to Library created "Copy To ...." Folders - Can I Delete Them ??

I'm new to iTunes, and I'm usings Windows XP PRO SR3.
I ripped some CDs to FLAC format (one folder per CD).
Then converted FLAC to MP3 in a new folder tree
(F:\Music\MP3\"one folder per CD")
When I imported the sub-folders in the MP3 folder (my iTunes "root" folder), iTunes created a new subfolder F:\Music\MP3\"Copy To " folder for each of my original folders. This is a duplicate of a duplicate.
Can I safely delete these "Copy To" subfolders ??
How do I prevent iTunes from doing this in the future ??
Advanced Setup Notes:
"iTunes Media folder location" is: F:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunes Media
"Keep iTunes Media folder organized" is Not Selected
"Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library" is Not selected.
I prefer to manually control my folder/file usage.
Thanks
John

I made the initial post .....
Tried to reproduce the Importing to Library creating "Copy To ...." folders problem.
But it didn't do it this time ??? I don't know why.
Everything worked the way I thought it should.
Thanks

[Solved]How to create ADF interface View

Hi All,
I have a design problem that I need some help with.
In one of the pages in our application, we have two drop down boxes one with account type and another with account name (label) and account number (value).
The account types are Escrow, Credit and Misc (some other types). all three types are in three different tables.
Now the problem is, in the page when the account type is selected, the second drop down box should be filled with respective account numbers.
So my question is Can I create an interface view and implement in all three different account type views and use it for second drop down box.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Thanks

You might do a VO with a union of the three tables - use a custom SELECT like this:
SELECT 'Escrow' account_type, account_number, balance, ... FROM escrow_accounts
UNION
SELECT 'Credit', account_number, balance, ... FROM credit_accounts
UNION
SELECT 'Misc.', account_number, balance, ... FROM misc_accountsUse NULL for any column in a table that does not have that column. I'm not sure if you can use Entity Objects (one EO per table) with such a VO to make the data updatable - it might have to be a read-only VO.
Or create a database view with this SELECT and base the VO on that view instead of a table. You can even make the view updatable with INSTEAD OF triggers and base an EO on the view.

PI (ABAP+JAVA) system copy

It's said that PI (ABAP+JAVA) system copy is different from pure JAVA system copy or pur ABAP system copy.
Could you share your experience? Thanks!

Hi Christy,
For Java there is exe file, so by clicking that the java is installed on the system.
For PI check the below link

ABAP+JAVA system copy using 3rd party export/import tools

Hi all,
I am trying to do a homogenous system copy. I am following the syscopy guide for SAP NW 7.0 SR3 ABAP+JAVA systems
We are running AIX 5.L and Oracle.
My question is this. We are using an IBM XiV system for our disk storage, and we are able to restore from "snaps" which is their version of images. Does anyone know if it is possible to restore or "import" the data in a system copy using an outside tool like this? If so, do you have any information on how to?
I know it is possible to restore the database from an offline backup using BRTools rather than r3load and jload, and I just wanted to see if I can restore from a snap as it would save a lot of time in the procedure.
Any help or ideas would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

That approach is not supported.
The reason is: combined instances write the instance name and hostname in various places, on the filesystem in .properties files, in the JDBC configuration, depending on the java applications you run on top in various other places. What you're trying to do is effectively "renaming" an instance.
Technically it's possible to do it and to get it run, yes, but the supported way is running sapinst and choose ABAP + Java system copy. This will prevent you from lots of (not really documented) manual work after the copy.

How to get ABAP mapping option in Interface Mapping

Hi
experts
How to get ABAP mapping option in Interface Mapping . i need to do abap mapping . i didnt find the option
plz help me

Hi,
If u2018ABAP-classu2019 and u2018XSL(ABAP ENGINE)u2019 does not appear under the u2018Mapping Program Typeu2019 in Interface Mapping, one has to make an additional entry in the Exchange Profile.
Only a user with the J2EE security role (administrator) can make the following settings in the Exchange Profile.
It is achieved in the following manner:
1) Open http://<host>:<port>/exchangeProfile/index.html
2)Choose IntegrationBuilder ->IntegrationBuilder.Repository -> com.sap.aii.repository.mapping.additionaltypes
Add: R3_ABAP|Abap-class;R3_XSLT|XSL (ABAP Engine)
To check whether the data has been successfully read from the exchange profile:
1- Open http://<host>:<port>/rep/support/admin/index.html
2- Choose Administration of Properties -> All Properties
3- If the value associated to parameter com.sap.aii.repository.mapping.additionaltypes is not visible, press REFRESH button
After doing above check in IR, if still don't find the option for ABAP mapping then refresh the cache.

Hello,
You can create a new work center by copying an existing work center. in the cr01 screen in the copy from column put the plant name and Ref. work center name and put enter. all the existing data will be copied to the newly created work center. no need to create new assignment to Production Scheduller and Cost Center.
Hope it helps.
