Business ByDesign UI: find Business Objects and UI definitions involved

Hello,
I am new to SAP Business ByDesign sdk development. The most difficult part is to identify the right Standard SAP Business Objects and use them the right way.
As I understood from another sdk developer, he has seen on an SAP sdk training that there exists functionality to see/determine in the ByDesign UI the Business Objects and UI definitions involved in a specific UI.
In a test tennant for a customer this functionality is unavailable.
- is this functionality released for customer use?
- how can I activate this functionality myself?
- what are the prerequisites to be able to use this functionality?
thank you for your answers in advance,
Roelof Jan Bouwknegt

Hi Alexandre,
have a look at the Web Dynpro component WDR_TEST_EVENTS, view BG_SIMPLE_IN_MPANE, method WDDOMODIFYVIEW.
Here is a snippet for setting additional customizing or data for a business graphics view-element. Call this from method WDDOMODIFYVIEW.
DATA lr_bg TYPE REF TO cl_wd_business_graphics.
DATA lr_bg_method_handler TYPE REF TO if_wd_busin_graphics_mtd_hndl.
DATA lr_add_cust_xml TYPE REF TO if_ixml_document.
lr_bg ?= ir_view->get_element( <your viewid of business graphic> ).
lr_bg_method_handler ?= lr_bg->_method_handler.
lr_add_cust_xml = get_<your additional customizing/data>.
lr_bg_method_handler->add_direct_customizing(
i_customizing = lr_add_cust_xml
Kind regards,

Hi Dave,
I have tried the script after removing "s" in it. Now i am getting error like "object doesn't support the property or method 'appliedObjectStyle'". Please look into this and help me out. Herewith i attached the 'error' dialog snapshot.
When i tried this in loop its working fine. Find the script below.
app.findObjectPreferences=app.changeObjectPreferences=null;

BC: Unable to find referenced object

Hi OTN,
while working on my ADF BC application I oftenly see a following message at JDev start:
Business Components: Unable to find referenced object
Object=...
Owner=...I usally check those business components and can't see any malfunction in their definition.
Yesterday I encountered strange behaviour while inserting new rows in linked view objects. It seemed that there was no entity association (key cascade update didn't work) and new row in linked VO wasn't commited at all.
Today at JDev startup I see two messages with "Unable to find referenced object" and "Owner" in the messages is pointing to ViewLink based on the strangely-working association. "Objects" in the messages are pointing to attributes on which association is built.
What does this message mean and could this issue be concerned to framework unexpected behavior while inserting new rows?
Business Components comes from compiled jar library.
Thanks.
Jdev 11.1.1.3

its a good practice in my opinion to close your project before shutting down the JDEV so next time when you open you will not able to see strange behaviors.

Issue in Exporting the Sales Price List and Purchase Price List for the Materials from SAP Business ByDesign (SAP Cloud)

Hello Everyone,
I would like to have a discussion on the issues, which I am facing at the time of Exporting the Sales Price List and Purchase Price List for the Materials from
SAP Business ByDesign (SAP Cloud).
(1). Sales Price List :
We have maintained Customer Group Specific Sales Price List for the Materials in the following Location.
Location :         Product and Service Portfolio Work Center > Pricing > Price Lists > Customer Group Specific Price List (Type of Price List)
Target :             We want to export the entire records in some reports or excel sheet.
Records :          Number of Materials in the Customer Group Specific Price List is more than 2,00,000
Issues :
                                     (A). In the SAP Business ByDesign Screen we can filter by number of records but we can export till 50,000 records.
                                             And if we are trying to export records more than that limit, then it throws "HTTP 500 Internal Server Error".
                                     (B). We could not find any SAP standard reports in Product and Service Portfolio and/or Business Analytics Work Center
                                            for getting the entire record set of the Sales Price List, so that we can have the entire set of records together.
Searching For :
                                      (A). Is there any SAP reports or data source available for getting the entire Sales Price List records?
                                      (B). Can we have any other filter conditions for exporting the Sales Price List records in a single shot or module wise?
(2). Purchase Price List :
We have maintained the Purchase Price List for the Materials in the following Location.
Location :           Product Portfolio Work Center > List Prices > Active List Prices (Type of Price List)
Target :               We want to export the entire records in some reports or excel sheet.
Records :            Number of Materials in the Purchase Price List is more than 4,00,000.
Issues :
                                       (A). In the SAP Business ByDesign Screen we can not see more than 10,000 records and the actual number of
                                               records are more than 4,00,000. We could able to download the records till 10,000 but that is not sufficient.
                                               We want to export the entire records in an excel sheet.
                                       (B). We could not find any SAP standard reports in Product Portfolio and/or Business Analytics Work Center for
                                              getting the entire record set of the Purchase Price List, so that we can have the entire set of records together.
Searching For :
                                       (A). Is there any SAP reports or data source available for getting the entire Purchase Price List records?
                                       (B). Can we have any other filter conditions for exporting the Purchase Price List records in a single shot or module wise?

Hi Parag,
To get the business object for given transaction,
1) Go to transaction SWELS
2) Switch on the event trace.
3) Go to the given transaction (For which you want to know the business object)
4) Execute the transaction
5) Go back to SWELS and Switch off the event trace
6) Go to transaction SWEL.. Here you will get the Business Object name (one which starts with BUS)
Hope this will help you.

Business objects and subtyping

Hi,
I recently went through a very intriguing article on BOR at
www.sapgenie.com/abap/bor.htm
The article has raised several questions in my mind.
1) Has SAP brought all of the Business Processes to the Business Objects? I mean, can everything be done ( like creating/changing materials in MM, creating sales documents in SD etc) using BO alone? In other words, is the entire business functionality covered in the BOR?
2) Do the Business Objects call the transactions or the Transactions call the Business Objects?
This doubt has aroused because the article mentions that when we change the password of a customer the CHANGEPASSWORD method of BO KNA1 is called. And, in contrast, I found that some BAPI's(not CHANGEPASSWORD) called by the BO methods actually use 'CALL TRANSACTION' statements.
3) If the transactions actually do call the BO methods, will the subtyped method be called after delegation even when the transactions make a call to the BO?
I was not able to find satisfying answers anywhere, neither on Internet nor the SDN Forums. Please help me find some answers. Or atleast, if possible, please send me some links or forward this mail to any of your friends who might be able to help me.
Thanks in advance.
Anand.

Hi Anand,
1) No. BOR is a wrapper and uses old techniques. From a workflow perspective ABAP OO is better. There is still a place currently for BOR as a BAPI reference tool, but I'm expecting that with the Business Process Platform we will have some alternative for BOR altogether at some point. What I think you are really getting towards is the Business Process Platform ... in which case you might find the Business Process Expert forum interesting. But that's a much broader topic than workflow.
2) Both is possible but in general the BOR calls the transaction. There are a few "naughty" BAPIs that cop out and call transactions but they are mercifully few.
Tranactions do use BOR e.g. to call Generic Object Services features. All of this will change with the Business Process Platform anyway when hopefully we have more BAPI-like method calls to use and are less restricted by monolithic transactions.
3) Yes delegation would still apply in the scenario you describe - although I can't think of an example where we actually do that - as per the answer to 2., that's not usually how it works.
In the meantime, start learning ABAP OO for Workflow.
My Blog series is currently available - first 3 blogs are now available.

Business Object and Netweaver, Event Insight

Hello,
Can anyone tell me if Business Objects requires Netweaver Application Server? Also, Event Insight, includes Sybase CEP, Business Object and other components. Is that all on one server that is a Netweaver Application Servier? Or is it some combination of Netweaver and non-netweaver on a partitioned server or some other set-up.
Event Insight, I think is shown as 1 server.
Thx

Hi
The Business Objects Enterprise Intelligence Platform (former Business Objects Enterprise) does not require Netweaver as application server.
You can have a look at: http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/bi where yoo find lots of information and overview presentations

Link Between Business Object and Transaction

<b>How is Business Object linked to transactions?</b>
For example, how is business object BUS2032 (Sales order) linked to transaction VA01 (Create sales order)?

Hi Ben,
I'm not sure that you link a business object and a transaction code explicitly. Normally in the business objects methods you have coded what transaction code should be called. Therefore if you use the methods of the business objects it then knows what transaction to call.
Conversely on the workflow side you will find that down in the depths of the coding for VA01 (as an example) it calls workflow function modules and raises events. When doing so it provides the business object id and key to the business object (i.e. the sales order number). Indirectly I guess the change documents that are raised for most things in SAP like sales documents are uniquely identified and therefore can also be translated to the business object key (e.g. sales documents will have their own change document type).
A brief example in my 4.6c system can be found in include LIEDPF4C in the form finsta_kontoauszug_buchen with a call to function SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT. You see the the parameter "object_type" has a variable passed to it "objtype_finsta". If you drill back on objtype_finsta you see that is hardcoded to the value BUS4499.
I guess you could say the developer of the business object knows what transaction codes the business object should use and the developer of the code in the transaction code knows what business objects he should be raising events for if necessary.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Michael

EEWB : how to determine the business object and the extension type ?

Hi,
I ask myself how to determine the business object and the extension type to use to add new fields in a new tab of a specific transaction ? what means each business object, does that correspond to a specific transaction ?
I need to add a new tab in the BaMI business activity in transaction CRMD_ORDER just after the tab 'Actions' at header level.
Could you help me please to determine which business object and extension type I have to select during creation of the project and which business object category I have to select during creation of the extension (wizard) ?
Thanks for your help,
Marie

Marie,
In order to determine what type of transaction you are extending, you will need to look at the customizing for the transaction.
In the IMG:
Goto:
Customer Relationship Management->Transactions->Basic Settings->Define Transaction Types.
You will then choose the transaction defined that you want to extend. If you display the details of the transaction you will find an attribute called:
"Leading Transaction Category". This tells you the general context in which the transaction is used. The other item to view is the assignment of business transaction categories found in the maintenance screen.
This information general corresponds to one of the options that the EEWB will give you on the transaction type.
As far as extensions go, my recommendation is the following:
- Use CUSTOMER_H Customer Header Extensions for any new fields at the header level.
- Use CUSTOMER_I Customer Item Extensions for any new fields at the item level.
Unless you have a specific requirement to extend a segment of the transaction, I recommend placing all new fields in these segments. The CUSTOMER_H & CUSTOMER_I segments are considered "standard" segments, that are already built into all the necessary API structures.
Let me know if you have any further questions.
Good luck,
Stephen

Code for Custom Business Object and Adding/Updating Data

Hi,
I would like to update/insert data thru Custom Business Object to sql Server.Pls let me know is it possible in MSA.If yes I would appreciate if you can share the code/Process in this forum.
Thanks and Regds
Harish

Harish
Depending on what data you update you need to do the following:
If updating SAP tables or customer tables which are an extension of a SAP object like business partner, material, activity or similar:
1. Create the extension of the data object via the easy enhancement workbench (EEWB). This will also create mapping functionality from MSA to CRM Server and extend the BDocs.
2. Go to the BDoc modeler. Find the sBDoc for data exchange (type Write BDoc), that contains your object and check whether the new segment is there.
3. In the Mobile Application Studio (MAS) you can now create a custom business object related to the standard sBDoc mentioned in 2 which is mapped to the new segment. This way the data exchange happens together with the main object
4. Drag & drop the fields of the new BO to a new tile, and link that tile to the existing main object in the UI via the appropriate relation.
If you would create a new business object / BDoc for a set of attributes belonging to a main object and not use an extension of the existing BDoc then the data would get its own flow and when replicating it would not come together with the main data. This can lead to data inconsistencies and in surplus effort administrating this data.
If you have your own objects not related to a SAP object, you can do it the following way:
1. Create your own table(s)
2. Create a Write sBDoc on the table(s)
3. Create BO's on each BDoc segment / table
4. (as above)
Hope this helps,
Kai

Can I copy MATERIAL adapter object and create new business object in R3AC1

Hi experts,
I need to copy MATERIAL adapter object and create a new business object R3AC1.
Please let me know whether this is feasible.
Thanks & Regards,
Keya

Usually when there is a need to change/create an adapter object, I suggest to change object class to CUSTOMIZING in R3AC1. Then save it and call transaction R3AC3. There do necessary changes and afterwards switch back to original object class. There is no copy functionality for adapter objects. Kindly use transaction R3AC3 to create a new adapter object and maintain all tabs according to your requirements. When you are finished, kindly change the object class "CUSTOMIZING" to the original class name you're copying and the new adapter object will be visible in R3AC1.
Documentation can be found in
https://service.sap.com/ce -> Early Product Training > SAP CRM 4.0 & mySAP CRM Edition 2004 .. on the learning map, please choose "Development Consultant" -> Open "Enhance CRM Scenarios"
Here you can find a lot of guides and SAP tutors on how to create an adapter object, example coding, and so on.
To enable Filter Fields for an Adapter object make requisite changes in table SMOFFILFLD and generate the Adapter Object using SMOGGEN. CHeck table CRMPAROLTP in ECC to enable Filtering
