ABAP Project lifecycle help..

Hi all,
I am learning SAP ABAP and have plans to get a job in this field. Can anyone tell me about the life cycle of the project like getting functional specification and then writing technical specifications and etc.. till the last stage..
Thanks much in advance..
Regards,
-Ashok Hansraj

Hi Ashok
this information may help you.
This is a basic question but an important one if you are looking at careers in SAP. Technical SAP consultants are generally either programmers or systems administrators, whereas functional consultants bring value by combining particular business process knowledge, such as financial knowledge, with the "know-how" of configuring the aspect of SAP that pertains to that process knowledge. So for example, a functional SAP FI consultant generally has a financials background, and understands how to configure the FI tables in accordance with a user's business processes.

The SAP Solution Manager supports you throughout the entire lifecycle of your solutions, from the Business Blueprint thru configuration to production operation. It provides central access to tools methods and preconfigured content, that you can use during the evaluation, implementation, and productive operation of your systems.

Estimation for ABAP project

Dear all,
We have an ABAP project, how can you estimate total of effort we spend to complete them. Please guide me some ways to estimate the ABAP development project ?
By the way, I want to know how to measure the productivity of a ABAP developer ?. What metric should we base on ?
For example: in VB or C++ projects, we measure productivity of developers base on number of code lines per day.
Please help me or guide me some measurement method.
Thank you.
VuPN

Hi Pham,
In some development projects I had worked, we used to follow this many metrics but I remember only few:)).
i) To know the total work estimate: You can take all the objects that you have developed and first make a complexity review. There you have to determine if the object is Simple, Medium, Hard or Complex, Very complex. This is a very relative term to establish. Hence use a standard approach in looking at the complexities may be by carrying a Complexity review template/ guideline, jotting all the points and take a weighted average as per their relevance and significance of them to the total delivery.
Now you have a total complexity review done. Just find out if a same kind of project had been done anywhere else and find out what was the number of hours/days spent for each of this degrees of complexities. Say low is 24 hours, medium takes 40 hours, blah blah. Break it down to the level of Technical design, coding, reviews, etc. Now you have a total estimate done. However you should never get biased with actuals as you already have while caluclating the estimates.
ii) Now it is easier to find the productivity as you can find out what was the estimated time to complete and how much did each developer take to complete the job.
Generally the estimates must be done in the initial phase of the project. Also these are very minimal number of metrics which I am trying to tell you. But there is a huge number of them and you could find it out from any quality expert may be auditing software projects for CMM, etc.

OER vs AIA Project Lifecycle workbench

Hi,
Is it possible to use Oracle Enterprice Repository instead of AIA Project Lifecycle workbench for actions like creation of Bill of Materials, etc
regards
Philip

Hi,
OER is used for the purpose of SOA Goverance in a large enterprise where multiple services are integrated to form a centralized repository.
Whereas Project Lifecycle Workbench(PLW) is a tool developed for the purpose of Design time & Deployment time repository so as to facilitate a common deployment plan for the whole product.
Bill of materials(BOM) generation is depend upon Harvesting your composites to PLW and Harvesting in turn depends upon a complete annotation of composites. Yes, harvesting can be done to OER as well but the its used for SOA Governance and not for BOM generation.
BOM generation all details are fetched from Lifecycle DB and BOMs are generated. BOM can only be generated with Project Lifecycle Workbench.
Hope this help you.

Rahul

Error when creating a new ABAP project

Hello ADT Gurus,
I'm trying to start using Eclipse for ABAP development. However after successful installation of ADT into Eclipse I'm still not able to create an ABAP project.
When I want to create ABAP project I always receive following error message:
An error has occurred. See error log for more details.
No enum constant com.sap.adt.destinations.model.internal.ISystemConfigurationInternal.OriginType.NUL
Does anyone have an idea, solution, suggestion....advice?
Thank you in advance.
My environment:
Windows 7 Enterprise 64bit
Eclipse Kepler 4.3.2
ADT 2.28.5
SAP GUI 7.30
SAP NetWeaver 7.31 SP8
Regards
Martin

Hi Uwe,
thanks for your advice.
That's exactely how I proceeded today and at the end found a reason of my error.... yey
There were invalid parameters in section [Origin] of my saplogon.ini file.
See attached screenshot.
According to OSS note 99435 - 'NUL' is not an allowed value.
Those items don't refer to a SAP systems, they represents only kind of a "separator" between landscapes with a description.
My problem was solved by changing those values to 'USEREDIT' .
Anyway...native SAP logon worked w/o problems even with these invalid entries in saplogon.ini.

i think i was asked to install an update (something to do with libraries?) before i started working, but i didn't do the update.
don't know if this has anything to do with problem.

The backups for your version are date-time stamped as the name and with an extension of .fcpproject. They look like this.
The original project is named CurrentVersion.fcpproject.
You need to replace the CurrentVersion with the backup file and rename it to be CurrentVersion.fcpproject.
With FCPX closed, I suggest you move the original to the Trash, but not empty it. Then promote your backup one level higher in the project folder hierarchy (to be at the same level that the original previously occupied. Then rename the backup.
Open up FCPX, which should now recognize your project.

Package Management for CodeExchange ABAP projects

Hi CodeExchange ABAP Contributors,
according to the size of ABAP in the [https://cw.sdn.sap.com/cw/codex/projects|CodeExchange Project Directory Tag cloud] most of the Projects are ABAP based. Some of them like Twibap, ABAP JSON and ABAP OAuth depend on each other. That is also the case if you want to install packages using [SAPLink|http://code.google.com/p/saplink/], then you need in the most of the cases some [Plugin|http://code.google.com/p/saplink/wiki/pluginList] installed. That can be sometimes very cumbersome.
As a user of Perl, PHP and Ruby I was using their package management systems like CPAN, Pear and Gems. They provide an easy command line interface to install and update packages. In addition they take care about dependencies.
I think it's time to start working on a Package Management for CodeExchange ABAP projects. Let's call it ABAP Package Management (APM). SAPLink providing the container to exchange the package and ZAKE to handle the download and install can be a good starting point.
Let's discuss the problem space here and perhaps we also can involve someone who has perhaps already some experience in building a package management system.
Best regards
Gregor

Hi,
an XML file to be included into the nugg that describes dependencies on a base of Plugin ID, Plugin Name and Version should be enough.
The XML should be managed by SAPLink, the hard job is to automatically download and install the plugins.
How to login to CodExch?
How to download the certified version of the plugin? A project can delete an old version nugg.
As you said we need a central instance were the plugin version are versioned and identified univocally.
Indeed we need a page in code exchange or a tool in release page in order to register the current file as versioned.

Ivan

Project Lifecycle Workbench AIA 3.0

Is it mandatory to Define project details and industry Details in Project Lifecycle Workbench before starting coding? How it is usefull?

hi,
Please find the following details abt the Project Lifecycle Workbench in AIA 3.0:
This tool has no equivalent in AIA 2.x. The Product Lifecycle Workbench is supposed to facilitate functional experts’ process definition, decomposition, and service reuse during the functional analysis phase of a development lifecycle
Project Lifecycle Workbench to facilitate functional definition and decomposition of business process and to auto-generate the process artifact inventory

ABAP in HANA Studio via WTS, error in defining ABAP Project

Dear Colleagues,
I managed to configure the ABAP Development Tool in SAP Hana Studio in my WTS.
But as I want to add a new ABAP Project, it ends with an error saying:
Logon to system FA7 failed (SNC Library not found; environment variable "SNC_LIB_64" not defined, fallback location does not exist: "C:\Program Files\SAP\FrontEnd\SecureLogin\lib\secgss.dll" )
As you know there is not C:\Program Files\... path in WTS.
Could please advise,
Thank you and best regards,
Steve

Hi Steve,
As i know, it is beacuse your ADT is 64bit. Ca you quickly check the following.
1. Open your SAP Logon in WTS
2. Open the properties of your ABAP System added
3. Deactivate the Single Sign on (Uncheck the check box 'Activate Secure Network Connection' on Network tab)
4. Now on your ADT add the ABAP Project .
This should work.
As of now, 64 bit ADT does not support adding ABAP Projects with single sign on.
Thanks

Hi Sanjo,
did you check the following thread already?

How to import AIA Demo project into AIA Project Lifecycle Workbench

We have installed Oracle AIA 11.1.1.1.5 along with AIA Demo & OER. The question I have is - How to import (or harvest in OER terms) the AIA Demo project so that we can see the project in AIA Project Lifecycle Workbench as well as in OER.

This information is given in the Oracle documentation - Getting started with AIA Foundation Pack and Demo 11.1.1.2.01 Part No. E17359-01 - page 34 and other later releases as well.

What is the use of Database View, maintenace , projection and Help view

hello friends,
I created tables..and set check table relation.
how to create Database View, maintenace , projection and Help view
phani

Hi,
have a look at this.
4 type of views
database
maintainance
help
projection view
check this link as well
(https://forums.sdn.sap.com/click.jspa?searchID=9904886&messageID=4885135)
Database views are implemented with an equivalent view on the database.
Projection views are used to hide fields of a table (only projection).
Database views should be created if want to select logically connected data from different tables simultaneously.
Database views implement an inner join.
Application programs can access the data of a database view using the database interface. (Just as we write select queries on database tables, we can write them for views as well.)
Includes in Database Views
An entire table can be included in a database view. In this case all the fields of the included table will become fields of the view (whereby you can explicitly exclude certain fields).
To include one of the tables in the view, enter character * in field View field, the name of the table to be included in field Table and character * again in field Field name on the View fields tab page of the maintenance screen of the view.
You can also exclude individual fields of an included table. If you do not want to include a field of the included table in the view, enter - in field View field, the name of the included table in field Table and the name of the field to be excluded in field Field name.
Inserts with Database Views
If a database view contains only one single table, data can be inserted in this table with the view .
You have the following options for the contents of the table fields not contained in the view:
If the field is defined on the database with NOT NULL as initial value, the field is filled with the corresponding initial value.
If the field is defined on the database as NOT NULL without initial value, an insert is not possible. This results in a database error.
If the field is not defined on the database as NOT NULL, there will be a NULL value in this field.
A maintenance view permits you to maintain the data of an application object together.
The maintenance status determines which accesses to the data of the underlying tables are possible with the maintenance view.
Read only: Data can only be read through the view.
Read, change, delete, insert: Data of the tables contained in the view can be
changed, deleted, and inserted through the view.
Read and change: Existing view entries can be changed. However, records
cannot be deleted or inserted.
Read and change (time-dependent views): Only entries whose non-time
dependent part of the key is the same as that of existing entries may be
inserted.
Maintenance View ( SE54 )
You can use a maintenance view to maintain data, which is distributed over several tables, at the same time.
Maintenance views enable a business-oriented approach to looking at data, while at the same time, making it possible to maintain the data involved. Data from several tables can be summarized in a maintenance view and maintained collectively via this view. That is, the data is entered via the view and then distributed to the underlying tables by the system.
Creating maintenance View:

ABAP Error. Help needed ASAP

Hi Gurus,
I am trying to write an ABAP statement for the below requirement.
Function has two import parameters. 1. key and 2. date.
Export parameter: export_rec like TAB.
Req: I need to select a record from a table where key = input parameter and input date lies between the from and to date fields in the table. (since table is time dependent).
EXPORT_REC like TAB,
I_T_TAB like TAB OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.
SELECT SINGLE * FROM I_T_TAB INTO EXPORT_REC WHERE KEY = IMPORT_ PARAMETER AND IMPORT_PARAM_DATE BETWEEN FROM_DATE AND TO_DATE.
But, I am getting errors. It says the I_T_TAB is not defined in the Abap dictionary as table, view or projection.
I defined it as an internal table. But, even then I am getting this error.
Can anyone please help me out with this issue,
Thanks,
Regards,
aarthi
[email protected]

Hi
From you code i understand that I_T_TAB is the internal table that fetch data from the SAP table TAB.
So, the reason for the error statement is because of the Select statement.
The select statement is used to fetch data from SAP table TAB.
So your select statement should look like this...
SELECT SINGLE * FROM TAB INTO I_T_TAB
WHERE key = import_ PARAMETER
AND import_param_date BETWEEN from_date AND to_date.
IF sy-subrc = 0.
MOVE-CORRESPONDING i_t_tab TO export_rec.
ENDIF.
If you are trying to fetch data from the internal table I_T_TAB &
append the export parameter EXPORT_REC then you should use the READ statement.
READ TABLE i_t_tab WITH KEY key = import_ parameter
and import_param_date between from_date and to_date.
IF sy-subrc = 0.
MOVE-CORRESPONDING i_t_tab TO export_rec.
APPEND export_rec.
ENDIF.
Hope this helps!
best regards,
Thangesh
