BPM and webdynpro for ABAP

Dear All,
I am new to BPM and wanted to understand that is there any linking in Web dynpro for abap and BPM or WD for JAVA can only be used in BPM. Also can somebody help me with the stztart document which tells about transaction and SAP netweaver step by step process for creating SAP BPM application. The BPM workflow, how it is connected to SAP at backend.
Thanks in Advance!
Regards
Naveen

Hi Naveen,
Netweaver BPM is shipped as part of Netweaver Composition Environment starting version 7.1 EHP1 and now CE 7.2 is also out. It wont be possible to run on ABAP stack. Also if you want to start learning then you may start with the following links:

Hope this helps!!

Diff between BSP and WEBDYNPRO FOR ABAP?

Hi All,
can anyone let me know the Difference between BSP's and WEBDYNPRO FOR ABAP.
Regards,
Ravi

Hi Ravi,
In truth, Web Dynpro contains many of the enhancements than BSPs....like built-in value-help and select options...... they
will become standard in Web Dynpro. But these can also be added to BSPs also.
There are several architectural differences between BSP and WDA. WDA has some advanced features but more restrictive framework compared to BSP.
WDA is stateful only. While BSP supports both stateful and stateless programming models.
WDA doesn't aloow us to use our own custom HTML, JavaScript or other controls. To provide compatibility the rendering logic is completely hidden from the developer.
On the other hand, BSP has no such restrictions and allows an extreme level of custom rendering. This makes BSP a perfect platform for applications that require pixel-perfect layout or specialized UI elements.

WDA: TreeByNestingTableColumn and ALV in webdynpro for ABAP

Hi,
1) I am trying to implement a tree with nested structure and multiple columns. I am using RecursionNode in the context and UI element TreeByNestingTableColumn. I am not able to figure out how to make a distinction between the key and parent key. In TreeByKeyTableColumn, we use key and parent key to differentiate. Is there any link which explains how to implement TreeByNestingTableColumn in Webdynpro for ABAP? (I got a link for webdynpro for java though).
2) Can ALV be used to implement a tree structure instead of using Table with TreeByNestingTableColumn or TreeByKeyTableColumn? Then I would be readily able to use ALV features like sort etc. If it can be used is there any link which explains how to do it in Webdynpro for ABAP?

Hi Srinivasa,
I can answer the first point. If you use a recursive node and TreeByNestingTableColumn, there is no need to have a rowKey and parentRowKey, since the recursion with the context already defines the hierarchy. As far as I know someone posted a blog that explains how to use the TreeByNestingTableColumn in Web Dynpro Java. I don't have the link available, but this blog would be good place to start. The implementation in WDA and WDJ is pretty much the same here.
Kind regards,
Thomas

Webdynpro for abap and single sign on

I have developed application using webdynpro for abap and it is working fine. The problem is we can not get sso working . i.e. even though we configure SSO but still getting the screen asking to login into
sap web application server again
This is the 1st wda we have developed and not sure whether we can apply SSO with wda as it is find with webdynpro for Java. The basis team has gone thru all the configurations and could not understand why it did not work.
Thank you in advance.

Thank you for your quick response.
1. Is the portal certificate added to Backend ? - yes
2. Is the Backend and Portal in Same Domain ? - yes
3. Are you accessing the Portal using FQDN ? - No, we use web dispatcher to redirect. But the same result if we access Portal using FQDN.

Webdynpro for ABAP - Popup apearing for userid and pwd

Hi Experts,
We have implemented ESS and gone live. Now we have created one custom application in webdynpro for ABAP and attached with portal.
Initially there was a problem, the application was not getting executed because of system configuration, then I have configured the host name, port number correctly. Then the iView is getting loaded in the portal.
The problem is, when I am trying to access the iView, the popup apearing for the user id and password. This is happening only the webdynpro abap application, this is not happening for all sap standard iViews.
Could anyone help me with this issue?
Thanks
Jay

Hi Jayanthi,
as you had mentioned this is not happening for sap standard iViews(do you mean simple transaction iViews for which you have used a system alias, which was the same you had used for ABAP web dynpro iview)?
Of courese ESS iViews works with their own JCOs which is no way helpful or connected with wd ABAP.
So I believe if your SAP id and Portal id are different(or if they are same but SAP Logon ticket is not configured properly) then only it woudl ask for the authentication again- for Wd ABAP to work fine, only the connector property and WAS to tbe configured in the system object(aka system alias) used for ABAP iview. Now once you enter the login credentials, it is working fine right, then could you please test the user mapping under the user you are logged in, select the alias that you had used while creating the abap wd iView and provide userid/password here, then run the wd ABAP application, it definitely would work.
N.B: if you had provided the credentials once, then it woud be stored in the browser cache, so if you perform the user mapping in user admin, log off from portal, close all your browser windows, then clear cache,(cookies etc). then login to portal, run the wdABAP application, I am sure this would work(it worked for me!!!).
Thanks,
Jakes.

Webdynpro for ABAP and Portal Integration

Hi Experts,
we created a WebDynpro for ABAP application for portal. The application will modify/update few fields in backend sap HR table PA0006 (infotype 6) . The end user (portal user) should be able to update his data in backend with the iview created on this application.
I have below two questions in my mind.
1. Do we need portal eventing for this? It's a single iview in portal which will fetch and update his data through this WebDynpro for ABAP application.
2. It is for 10 countries of almost 1000 users (with same userid in portal and backend). How can I make sure that the enduser updates and fetch his records only. The SSO is already set up between Portal and Sap ECC system. Do I need to again pass the enduser portal id to the sap in coding to fetch and update the data or sso will take care of itself.
Thanks
Ajay

1. Do we need portal eventing for this? It's a single iview in portal which will fetch and update his data through this WebDynpro for ABAP application.
Answer: If you use, for exemple ITS to access this Webdympro, you will not need any action on portal for sure. Actually you will just need actions on portal, if you want to make some customization on portal side. If you want just show the Webdympro how it is, your action are all on backend..
2. It is for 10 countries of almost 1000 users (with same userid in portal and backend). How can I make sure that the enduser updates and fetch his records only.

If you access via ITS, te custome will acess the backend with the user you have set on the SSO or user-mapping. The portal there is nothing to do in this regards, you must just take care of this on backend.
Please evaluating the answer you are contributing for the SDN keep growing.

Webdynpro for ABAP and Workflow

Hi All,
I have few applications developed in WebDynpro for ABAP. Now I have the following requirement in one of my application. I am creating some new entries in the custom table based on the user inputs and actions. Before creating a new entry some one needs to approve that. Once the approval is done I have to create a new entry.
I came to know that this can be achieved using workflow. I have no much idea on workflow. Could someone suggest me how I can achieve that please?
Thank You,
Suresh.

Hello,
Use transaction : SWFVISU and maintain the task and the corresponding webdynpro application (parameters if any).
Register UWL with workitem handler and configure UWL.For details,

Eventing in Portal page between Team Viewer and Custom Webdynpro for ABAP

We are trying to implement a new Portal page that contains a Team Viewer Iview and a custom Webdynpro for ABAP iview.
The idea is that the when a manager select one of his direct report in the Team Viewer, the custom Webdynpro for ABAP would pick up the selection_changed event and retrieve the data for the selected employee.
We followed the instruction provided by SAP in note 1112733 and it worked in our development environment. When we moved the iviews to our testing environment it stopped working.
I also used the Diagnostic Iviews provided by SAP and I get the same result: Works in Dev, does not work in QA or in Prod.
We also followed the troubleshooting steps of note 945516 and it still did not help us. We can not find a difference in our system set up.
We are therefore looking for pointers as to what could be our problem.
Thanks!
Edited by: Benoit Fortin on Feb 20, 2009 2:28 PM

Problem was solved internally:
The reasons the eventing worked in Dev and not in QA or Prod, was that we had a different level of patch for ESS/MSS between instances, which I was not aware of.
Dev was on ESS/MSS version 600 SP14 and QA and Prod was on a different level. Once we implemented ESS/MSS SP 14 accross the board, everything was good.

Information about Integration WebDynpro for ABAP and Business-Workflow

Hi Experts,
I'm looking for information about
Integration WebDynpro for ABAP and Business-Workflow
Link, documents and books are welcome!
Thanks
mishak

If you have worked on workflows earlier the procedure is very simple. You just need to enter certain parameter values of your application in SWFVISU for the respective task and re-register your system in UWL administration. Thats it! your webdynpro and workflows are integrated. For details on the parameters check the following link,
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/19/bff5c18ba44da4a4ca68cf572dabda/frameset.htm
There are also a couple of blogs on "launching webdynpro from UWL" (Procedure for both Java and webdynpro is almost similar). You can also check these for more details.

How to create a node with attributes at runtime in webdynpro for ABAP?

Hi Experts,
         How to create a node with attributes at runtime in webdynpro for ABAP? What classes or interfaces I should use? Please provide some sample code.
I have checked IF_WD_CONTEXT_NODE_INFO and there is ADD_NEW_CHILD_NODE method. But this is not creating any node. I this this creates only a "node info" object.
I even check IF_WD_CONTEXT_NODE but i could not find any method that creates a node with attribute.
Please help!
Thanks

dyn_node->bind_table( i_struc ).
l_ref_interfacecontroller->set_data( dyn_node ).
I am trying to create a new node. That is
CONTEXT
- DYNFLIGHT
CARRID
CONNID
As you see above I am trying to create 'DYNFLIGHT' along with the 2 attributes which are inside this node. The structure of the node that is, no.of attributes may vary based on some condition. Thats why I am trying to create a node dynamically.
Also I cannot define the structure in the ABAP dictionary because it changes based on condition

Follow-up webdynpro for abap using portal theme nw2004s, sp12

Hello,
I wanted to get a follow up to this thread,
Re: webdynpro for abap using portal theme nw2004s, sp12
We are having a problem with the way reports developed in Web Dynpro for ABAP displayed in the portal (the pop-ups and dropdowns look out of wack). The issue appears when we wrap the reports into portal themes (either standard or custom). As per the thread (the link for which I posted above), the suggestion was to apply WDFORCEEXTERNALSTYLESHEET parameter to the WDP, however our system doesn't have this parameter in the system, but it seems like I can create my own parameter. Can some on give me all of the properties assigned to WDFORCEEXTERNALSTYLESHEET in table WDY_APP_PROP_DEF.
Thank you

Hi Brad, I was trying to apply the note 1033496 but our ABAP servers does not have the WDFORCEEXTERNALSTYLESHEET parameter available in WDY_APP_PROP_DEF table. All other notes are not applicable to our issue.
The portal is NW2004s SP12, the ABAP server is NW2004 SP11
Regards.
