Blank Layout in Web dynpro ABAP

Hi Experts,
We have configured Web dynpro ABAP in our server and activated all relevant services in SICF.
But, we face a problem where layout is invisible and the ouput is appearing when we test the application.
Please provide a solution as the layout is balnk and not giving any error also.

Hi,
You can also have a look at the thread
[blank preview|White preview area in View Designer].
Some SAP notes are mentioned in that thread.
Regards,
Aditya.

Blank lines in Web Dynpro ABAP

Hi experts,
how do I insert a blan line between two elements in a web dynpro abap??
I mean I want to separate both lines and for that I'd like to insert one or more blank lines.
Many thanks,
Juanjo

Depending on the layout of the container you have your elements in, there are various methods.
The easiest (in my experience) is to use the GridLayout and then each element has paddingTop property. This specifies the padding (blank space) to be inserted above the element.
Experiment with how much space you want - I find 20px to be a good amount of space in those cases where I want to clearly separate two blocks of information.
Hope this helps,
Chris

NW 7.3 + iView from remote source wizard + R3 Web Dynpro ABAP, not working

Hi,
I think this forum is my last resort.
I'm running NetWeaver 7.3 Enterprise Portal and also have an existing ECC6 on backend.
Our ABAP Programmer has built some WD4A application on ECC, I'd like to made them available
on EP as ABAP WebDynpro iView.
From the document, I know the way to create ABAP WD iView is different since 7.3. I have to use "iView from remote source" to do it.
On EP side, I have made an system alias (test ok) for ECC, assigned permission, provide mapping id/pwd, and test.
On ABAP side, all webdynpro app are activated (T-code sicf, /sap/bc/webdynpro, /sap/public/bc/webdynpro...). I can even test WAS by bringing up browser and access some sample ABAP webdynpro .
However, I cannot success on "iView from remote source" wizard and it always show me "Nothing found. Check your search Criteria.". Eventhough I use "*" as search criteria.
Anyone has the similar situation ? I even doubt that it is a placeholder of a feature , not working for now. Anyone made it work on NW 7.3 ?
More detail:
My System Alias for ECC:
 Application Host: myr3.mydomain.com
 SAP Client: 600
 SAP System ID: DEV
 SAP System Number: 00
 Server Port: <leave it blank>
 System Type: SAP_R3
 Logon Method: UIDPW
 User Mapping Type: admin,user
 ICM Host: myr3.mydomain.com:8000
 ICM Protocol: http
 ICM URL prefix: <leave it blank>
 SAP Netweaver AS Description: <leave it blank>
All other fileds are leave it as default value
I also assign a group to have "read" and "user" permission to this system
Also assign Alias to the system.
I also create a user belong to the group, assign his system mapping an ECC user ID & PWD to it.
I tested the System alias, it is working (both WEB AS test, and R3 test)
Then I try to create an iView on EP, under a PCD folder , new->iview->iview from remote source. A wizard show up. Then I can select the ECC alias just created, and provide * as application search criteria, and then select "WEB DYNPRO ABAP" as the application type. Then "GO"
as I mentioned, it always show "Nothing Found. Check your search crieteria"
But I'm sure the web dynpro applications are activated on R3.
OK, that's it, please help this one. Thanks
IF YOU DID MAKE IT WORK ON YOUR NW 7.3, PLEASE DROP A LINE HERE SO I KNOW IT IS MY OWN PROBLEM !!!

Thanks for the reply,
[About Backend]
I feel confident about the backend R3 system because I can use the WAS URL to access the sample WD4A application, for example, I can bring up the wd4a application ui in my browser. It is purely browser and R3 stuff, no EP involved.
http://soeprdev.mydomain.com:8000/sap/bc/webdynpro/bobf/demo_sales_order?sap-client=600&sap-language=ZF
I also already activate all nodes and sub-nodes (in SICF Services) under /sap/bc/webdynpro as well as /sap/public/bc/webdynpro. (and some other nodes to make icon and include work)
[About the system object in EP]
I have done all kind of test on the system object (alias):
1. In EP System Administration -> Landscape Configuration, I select the system object, click "Test Connection", It shows me a Check mark, and the detail message is SOE_DEV_600 connection
2. Edit the System object, then click on "Connection Tests" page, I see two lines there, check both and click test, here is the result:
SAP Web AS Connection:
: Test Details:
The test consists of the following steps:
1. Check the validity of the system ID in the system object
2. Check if the system can be retrieved
3. Check if the system object has a valid system alias
4. Check if an SAP system is defined in the system object
5. Validate the following parameters: Web AS protocol; Web AS hostname
6. Checks if the host name of the server can be resolved.
7. Pings the Web AS Ping service (works only if the service is activated on the Web AS, and only on ABAP Web AS)
8. Check HTTP/S connectivity to the defined back-end application
Results
1. The system ID is valid
2. System retrieved successfully
3. Retrieval of the default alias was successful
4. The system object represents an SAP system
5. The following parameters are valid: ICM Protocol (http) ICM Host Name (soeprdev.mydomain.com:8000)
6. The host name (soeprdev.mydomain.com) was resolved successfully
7. The Web AS ping service http://soeprdev.mydomain.com:8000/sap/bc/ping was pinged successfully
8. An HTTP/S connection to http://soeprdev.mydomain.com:8000 was obtained successfully.
Connection Test for Connectors:
: Test Details:
The test consists of the following steps:
1. Retrieve the default alias of the system
2. Check the connection to the back-end application using the connector defined in this system object
Results
Default alias retrieved successfully
Connection successful

BADI for changing Appraisal document application name for Web dynpro ABAP

Hi,
For Appraisal document customizing through PHAP_CATALOG_PA, We have BADI HRHAP00_BSP_TMPL to change the BSP application name which can be used in Web layout for output display. Using this we can change application name from HAP_DOCUMENT to custom BSP application name
Similarly, what is the BADI for changing Web dynpro ABAP applictaion name? Currently its triggering HAP_MAIN_DOCUMENT.
how do we change application name to some custom web dynpro application name
Regards,
Kothand

Hi Karim,
I don't know, if there is any chance to get the Webdynpro application name. At least in the ABAP System fields is no information about the webdynpro application name.
One remark: I have allways problems with BAPIS / BADIS that behave different depending on the caller. Could it be a good idea to pass some information through the interface / parameters?
Best regards
Renald

Problem in web dynpro ABAP program

There are 2 input fields on first view carrid, connid and one "GO" Button
1) "FLIGHTINFO" is the node under context of first view
2) " FLIGHTTAB " is a node under context of component controller having cardinality " 0..n " ,Dictionary structure "SFLIGHT" (i have selected only these many attributes " carrid, connid, fldate, planetype, seatsmax and seatsocc " )
3) I have created Method "FLIGHTTAB_FILL" in component controller to fill context node FLIGHTTAB
Insert the source code for doing the following:
-     Navigate to context node FLIGHTINFO
-     Get element at lead selection for context node FLIGHTINFO
-     Get CARRID and CONNID
-     Fill an internal table with all datasets from database table SFLIGHT, who meet the constraints for CARRID and CONNID.
-     Navigate to context node FLIGHTTAB
-     Bind the internal table(having all standard fields of sflight ) to the context node FLIGHTTAB ( having those 6 attributs).
4) On action GO ->Implement the invocation of Method " FLIGHTTAB_FILL".
5) I have mapped node FLIGHTTAB to context of OUTPUTVIEW. Display table on view OUTPUT_VIEW (for this i hav used code wizard).
Problem: after entering values of connid & carrid I m getting proper entries in internal table. but output view is not at all trigger (although i have created plugs). Is it necessary that while binding internal table with context node FLIGHTTAB should have same no of fields (i.e. in this case 6 )?
I am a fresher, My concept of bindings and cardinality are not so clear so can anybody help me out?
Thanx in advance for replying.

Hi johnright ,
    No i dont think it is necessary that while binding internal table with context node should have same no of fields as the internal table . You might get some improper values in the corresponding fiels but it will not lead to any error.
In your OUTPUTVIEW once you created the table UI element in layout and you bind it to FLIGHTTAB node you dont have to use any code wizard method to display the values. If the node contains values it will display automatically. (in your case you are filling it in step #).
Check :-
1. In your On action GO after filling the table you are firing the out bound plug :-
    WD_THIS->FIRE_INITIAL_OUT_PLG(
2.All outbound plug and inbound plug are link properly and every thing is ACTIVATED.
If still unable to find the error try to debug method wise and find where the error occurs and reply to us.
Binding:-
In web dynpro ABAP you will not able to get any value of any variable outside of any method. Here we use context node which is referrence that we create reference to any particular structure we required. Now to hold the values you need to bind
the values of your internal table to the context node.
If the node is in view then its values are visible to all the local method of the view.
If the node is in component controller then the you bind a value to the node from one view and you can get it in another view.
Remember binding and mapping are not same.
Mapping is done between node like inthe second scenario i have explained you need to create a node in view controller and then you need to map it to the corresponding view of component controller to send values across view.
cardinality:-
Each node contains data fields that represent one of the following:
    An individual instance of an object type
    A table of instances.
This property of a node is known as its cardinality of table of instances.
If you need table instance :- 0..n or 1...n
   In case of 1...n one default value is created. generally we use this as mainly we need to work with table.
In case you need a individual instance of a object or like you want value like a structure only :- 0...1 or 1....1.

Issue While printing / Previewing a Adobe form in Web Dynpro ABAP application

Dear All,
We have designed 4 different adobe forms using SFP transaction for 4 different countries in SAP system.
Every country have different terms and conditions and therefore we have placed static texts (Hardcoded text) with text in different styles. Some text is in bold, some in different font (Bold, Italic). Font and Paragraph settings of the text was done as per expected. All the forms have same font and paragraph settings.
When we Launch Web Dynpro ABAP application to open the form in Print preview or to take print, form is not getting displayed / printed as it is designed in SFP. But if you open the form in SFP, everything looks fine.
It is working fine for 3 different forms but problem with only 1 form.
Kindly guide what is the reason for this strange issue when previewed or taken print. It is very urgent.
Thanks,
Bharath.K

Dear All,
Thanks for your responses.
We had identified the reason.
Customer has provided terms and conditions for all 4 countries in PDF document. Along with PDF, for 3 out of 4 countries customer has shared pre-prepared word document with pre aligned and justified terms and conditions as per expected outcome. We copied this text from word to Adobe form layout. It worked fine. For 1 country, customer have not shared terms and conditions in word document. Therefore we had copied text directly from adobe PDF document in to Form layout. Then this issue happened.
Solution for this issue is to, prepared a word document with expected alignment and justification of terms and conditions text . Then copied from word to adobe livecycle designer form layout. It worked fine.
Thanks,
Bharath.

Adobe form to save data using Web Dynpro ABAP

Hi. I am pretty new to SAP world and trying to learn and work on a task given to me relate to
creating Adobe offline form using Web Dynpro ABAP same time.
I have several questions and hopefully, many gurus like you will provide answers.
I noticed there are many examples creating and using Adobe interactive forms (though not many newer version),
but I didn't see (at least I didn't find any) any detail example on saving data to an internal table (such as fixed assets, vendor master, etc)
using interactive form. Is there any detail explanation/example on this?
I have ask this question in another forum (before I found this forum) but didnu2019t get the answer yet.
2. When I tried to see graphic layout and modify the layout from Web Dynpro, I can't see the graphic layout.
All I see is text list of fields/buttons that I created, but can't see section for graphic layout where I can modify layout.
I am sure I didn't install/configure something correctly.
Anyone has any idea what I didn't do?
I have another question, but I will wait till later after I figure out above ones first.
Thanks for all your help in advance.
John

Hi John,
In the WD4A view, there is a button "Show/Hide Layout Preview".
Click on that button to be able to see the Layout.
Note that this button is next to the Pretty Print button.

Modification of Web Dynpro ABAP ESS Travel application

Hi,
I'm familiar with the modification process of ESS Web Dynpro Java applications using NWDI. However I have to adda button a view in the "Create Expense Report" iView which is a Web Dynpro ABAP application from ERP 6 Ehp3. On the click of this button a pdf report should be shown. The Web Dynpro ABAP application is FITE_EXPENSES.
Can anyone tell me what is the process for modifying ESS WD ABAP code? Do I copy and create a new application and then modify?
I'm not getting any documentation on this on SDN or SAP Help.
Regards,
Manish

Please try to avoid modification of WD4As. This is the last resort!
FITE_EXPENSES uses the WD-Component FITV_FPM_START, there it has the Application Configuration "FITE_EXPENSES". The Application COnfiguration is mapped with the Component Configuration "FITV_FPM_EXPENSES" (this is just for your interest how things are mapped here).
Bottom line the Application uses the WD-Component FITE_VC_GENERAL_DATA you can open it via TA SE80 as above poster suggested. Here. navigate to Views and open the View GENERAL_DATA_VIEW. Navigate to Tab METHODS, open Hook-Method WDDOMODIFYVIEW. Here you can make an implicit enhancement at the end of the method and dynamically generate a Button in runtime, this would be a cleaner approach than hard modification of the standard Layout.. I reccomend you to consider this!
best regards, Lukas

Authorization objects in web dynpro ABAP and SU24 transaction

Hi,
I have created a new authorization object to check a storage location for certain activities. I have added the authorization object in a specific web dynpro ABAP and I have created a new role in PFCG for my web dynpro ABAP.
The organization level for storage location is not recognized in PFCG. Someone told me I have to maintain my authorization object in SU24 as it is done for transaction.
I wanted to maintain my web dynpro in SU24 but I found no way to do that.
It seems that we can maintain authorization for TADIR service and in those services there is R3TR WDYA but when I use the search help for OBJ_NAME I don't find may web dynpro ABAP. I suppose I have to create a TADIR service for my web dynpro ABAP or something like that but I don't know how to do ?
Does anybody know how to deal with specific authorization in web dynpro ABAP and t ohave the organizational level recognized in PFCG.
Thanks for your help,
Emmanuel

Hi,
Please RUN the function module as "AUTH_TRACE_WRITE_USOBHASH" with following parameter
R3TR
"custom webdynpro application"
SERVICE TYPE and Service can be kept blank
after this try SU24 it will be available in SU24 list.
Thanks & regards

How to put water mark in web dynpro abap Adobe forms

Hi
Can any body tell me how to put water mark in web dynpro Abap adobe forms ,
actually I need to print water mark as back ground in gray color.
Points will be rewarded of Helpful answer..!
Regards,
Sidram

Hi,
for more information about layout options in forms, go to your form in transaction SFP, layout view and choose Help -> Adobe LifeCycle Designer Help. There you find information on page layout, e.g. " Objects can be placed anywhere on a master page, inside or outside the content area. As a general rule, do not place objects inside the content area unless your intention is to have other objects laid down on top of the master page objects when the form is rendered. If you are setting up a watermark, place it inside the content area. "
Besides, there's an Adobe forum where you might get more information for such Adobe questions.

Web Dynpro JAVA VS. Web Dynpro ABAP

Hi,
I'm interested in advantages and disadvantages of WD JAVA & WD ABAP. Could anybody give me some "detailed" information about it?
We need any information you can give us.
regards,
Sharam

Hi,
Web Dynpro for ABAP:
Web Dynpro for ABAP or Web Dynpro for ABAP (WD4A, WDA) is the SAP standard UI technology for developing Web applications in the ABAP environment. It consists of a runtime environment and a graphical development environment with special Web Dynpro tools that are integrated in the ABAP Workbench (SE80).
The use of declarative and graphical tools significantly reduces the implementation effort
1) Web Dynpro supports a structured design process
2) Strict separation between layout and business data
3) Reuse and better maintainability by using components
4) Automatic operation of the Web Dynpro application using the keyboard
5) User interface accessibility is supported
6) Full integration in the reliable ABAP development environment
for more see:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/77/3545415ea6f523e10000000a155106/frameset.htm
Web Dynpro for Java:
Web Dynpro is a client-independent programming model of the SAP NetWeaver technology platform for developing user interfaces for professional business applications. It is based on the model view controller paradim which ensures that the business logic is separated from the presentation logic. This architecture is visible in the Web Dynpro perspective of the SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio (NWDS).
Web Dynpro helps you with the development of Web applications by:
1) Ensuring platform-independence with the meta model approach
2) Minimizing the implementation effort through declarative programming
3) Supporting a structured design process by applying the model view controller paradigm
4) Providing reuse and better maintainability by using components
5) Providing graphical support with tools in the Web Dynpro perspective
6) Providing the SAP NetWeaver Java Development Infrastructure (NWDI) which supports team work with different services such as source code versioning and the Central Build Service.
for more see:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/15/0d4f21c17c8044af4868130e9fea07/content.htm
The concept of Web Dynpro ABAP is identical with Web Dynpro Java and offers more or less the same functions
hope it helps

Absolute URL IMAGE UI control in Web Dynpro ABAP fails

I would like to display a .jpg from the Internet, either using a URL or an RFC Destination as the source.
The "Web Dynpro ABAP Development in Detail" manual says that this can be done using only the Source attribute of the IMAGE UI control (see page 114) - that is,
   create an RFC Destination G-HTTP entry for the URL,
   type in that RFC Destination as $NAME$
   append any further extension of the URL as "/path in lower letters"
I can enter an RFC Destination (ex., $UBERORBS$) which points directly to a single image file via its host/path and it is displayed in SE80's Layout Preview, but nothing displays at runtime.
If I try to extend an RFC Destination's path to point to that image file (ex., $UBERORBS_BASE$/uberorbs_44pence.jpg), the image is also displayed in the Layout Preview, but not at runtime.
Is this a bug? or something wrong with our implementation? We are at SAP_BASIS 700 level 0006.
(Also, if the Source entry is not exactly correct, SE80 aborts following the entry with STRING_OFFSET_NEGATIVE.)

Here's another piece of information.
I am able to use the test app WDR_TEST_UI_ELEMENTS to display at runtime the $UBERORBS$ RFC Destination-absolute URL image.
So, does this mean that there is a critical setting within my Web Dynpro component which must be set properly to permit this?

Web Dynpro ABAP iView Namespace

Easy question here.....we are now developing some web dynpro abap at our company (all other web dynpro has been Java which I understand - ABAP was done by an abap developer).
We settting up the iView there is a required field "Namespace" . When I asked the developer what his namespace was I got a blank look. I've poked around in SE80 (again I'm no expert here I know Java not ABAP).
Would someone tell me how to guide this developer - what do we enter in the Namespace field when creating a Web Dynpro ABAP iView?

HI,
The namespace is sap by default.
You can refer this [help.sap|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/1d/e4a34273f60b31e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm] document to create WDA iview.

BSP vs Web Dynpro ABAP

Hello,
we are looking for a listing that states the functional and technical differences between Web Dynpro ABAP an BSP.
Is there anybody who has come along such a list ?
Tx a lot in advance!
Best regards,
Ana

Annette,
check this
The SAP Web Application Server (WAS) provides a page-based programming model with server-side scripting as well as server page technology for developing, designing and implementing Web applications:
Business Server Pages (BSP). Server-side scripting enables direct access to all elements in the application server (such as function modules, database tables, ABAP Objects, and so on.).
We can create HTML pages or Business Server Pages (BSPs) with server-side scripting in ABAP or JavaScript.
The HTMLB and XHTMLB HTML Business libraries are available as BSP Extensions for a uniform layout and its associated usability advantages.
And In the Web Application Server, the presentation layer is separate from the business logic. This makes it possible to implement front-end technology.
Why BSP NOT WebDynpro
                          BSP
              ABAP WEBDYNPRO
Currently PMUSA/JMC customers are using Fire fox (Mozilla), Internet Explorer and Netscape navigator web browsers to access WEBUYPM application.
BSP supports these web browsers.
Restricted (Some of the features will not be supported by WebDynpro)
Existing WEBUYPM application is written in HTML, Business HTML and JavaScript language.
BSP supports these languages. And it allows even to mix ABAP, HTML and JavaScript thus has more flexibility to convert WEBUYPM application into BSP.
Web Dynpro does not support HTML/JavaScript.
Existing WEBUYPM displays the trade communications (Information tab) based on JavaScript and custom configuration file
BSP supports JavaScript, we can display the trade communications in BSP too.
Web Dynpro does not support Java Script.
Existing WEBUYPM application has different colors schemes, Logos and graphical elements for PMUSA/JMC companies.
BSP support s multiple color schemes/logo. These color schemes can be set dynamically based on company code selection at runtime.
Separate Themes has to be developed for each User Interface elements.
Development effort needs to be involved to even display a logo.
BSP supports client side (user) validations. As most of these validations can be done at client side, the no. of hits on the server can be reduced and thus giving better response for the user inputs.
In this way, performance can be increased.
Web dynpro does not support any client side validations, every time the request must be sent to server to validate the useru2019s input. This increases the traffic and reduces the performance
WEBUYPM application has logos, images.
BSP supports Client side caching, and thus loads these element from client side very quickly.
Web dynpro supports very little use of caching on the client side, and hence quite a significant delay in starting on some customeru2019s browsers.
BSP has no restriction on user interface possibilities, Ex. Grid, drop down boxes, Font colors, size etc.
Significantly more restrictive in user interface possibilities.
Ex. Only those fonts, which are provided by SAP, can be used.
Appearance can be changed dynamically using same web pages, to support different colors for different companies.
We can have same (or better) look and feel if we convert the application into BSP.
As there is no HTML coding involved in web dynpro the same look and feel as we have it today can't be achieved by using web dynpro.
BSP is built for developing any type of web application (including mobile applications. It can be accessed from desktop, laptop, and any kind of smart devices like PDA.
Web dynpro applications can not be accessed from PDA s (Not possible)
Why WebDynpro NOT BSP
             ABAP WEBDYNPRO
                           BSP
Personalization can be given to the end user if they do not want see any of the user-interface elements.
We can not hide any of the user-interface elements (Ex buttons ex) during the runtime.
Note - Current WEBUYPM application does not support any of these options.
Currently we are setting/retrieving the runtime context values in a session.
Web dynpro supports State full applications.
No additional development would be required.
BSP also supports to set runtime values and to retrieve the runtime context values, but minor development would be required to achieve this functionality.
Currently users can see view source for WEBUYPM HTML pages.
Using Web dynpro this can be restricted thus providing more security to the application.
HTML view source can be available to the users, Users can see the HTML client side code (not server side coding) as it does today.
By using Adobe Flash Island, powerful web pages (RIA) can be created.
But, Flash Island comes with Net weaver.
BSP does not support Flash Island. But, BSP supports Java Script.
JavaScript is essential for the new trend of rich internet applications (RIA), it is used by all the new applications, Ajax, Widgets, Flash, and even Microsoft is supporting JavaScript for the new generation of RIA
Web dynpro has wizard tools to generate the code to create/configure the User Interface elements.
Development effort would be required to create UI elements.
We dynpro has uniformity as we use standard colors provided by SAP
Uniformity can be achieved by using style sheets (minor development would be required).
Thanks
Bala Duvvuri

Moving from Web Dynpro Java timesheet to Web Dynpro ABAP timesheet

Hi
We are in the process of moving from Web Dynpro Java ESS timesheet to Web Dynpro ABAP ESS timesheet. When using Web Dynpro Java ESS timesheet it is possible to enter time using a daily or weekly view.
When using the Web Dynpro version and ensuring the period type is set to weekly view for the data entry profile it is only possible to enter time on the weekly view, the tab for the daily view is no longer available.
Still using the Web Dynpro version and changing the period type to daily view I can enter time using the daily view and the weekly tab also becomes available, but the weekly tab is read only.
Do you know if it is possible to make daily and weekly timesheet entry for one data entry profile.
Thanks
Mark

Yes you can have only one view ie weekly or daily as per your CATS profile in CAC1.
but of course you can select multiple profiles
Configuration
The application configuration HRESS_AC_CATS_1 is provided by default and allows you to provide default values for the application parameters. It also allows you to specify the layout and appearance of the application.
The following application parameters are provided:
HIDE_CLOCK_TIMES_IN_WEEKLY
Hides the clock times in the weekly view.
MULTIPLE_PROFILE
Enables the selection of multiple data entry profiles from the dropdown list
