Calling GUI Scripting from ABAP program

Is it possible to call GUI Scripting from ABAP and thus to use GUI Scripting as an alternative to CALL TRANSACTION?
Is the class CL_JAVA_SCRIPT suitable to access GUI Scripting engine? Accessing ABAP data object would work as well in this case as i think. What SAP Logon and WAS releases are required? Is the 6.20 release sufficient for this case?
I would appreciate if somebody could post an example.

Hi,
CL_JAVA_SCRIPT has nothing to do with SAPGUI Scripting.
Calling SAPGUI Scripting API from ABAP could be possible for programmes experienced with OLE automation calls from ABAP coding.
The hardest thing will be, to access the scripting engine handle as an entry point. Once you have a handle in your abap session, any api function can be invoked.
Best regards
Jens
BTW: SAP testtool eCATT does call SAPGUI-Scripting from ABAP.

Call a host script from concurrent program without exposing APPS password?

My understanding is as of now I need to link $FND_TOP/bin/fndcpesr in order to launch a unix script as concurrent program. This implies that there will be 4 standard input parameters when a certain unix script is called including oracle schema and password. As I see it now APPS password is provided to such scripts.
Is there a way to execute a unix script from under 11i without exposing APPS password?

Many thanks.
Protecting Your Oracle User Password
In some cases, there are security concerns with passing your Oracle username and
password directly to your HOST program. If you do not want the concurrent manager
to pass your username/password to your program, you can have the manager pass it as
an environment variable instead. Or you can pass an Oracle Applications
username/password for a user with the System Administrator responsibility.
Alternatively, you can not pass it at all.
First, define your concurrent program executable as a HOST program in the Concurrent
Program Executable form.
To have the username/password passed as an environment variable, enter the term
'ENCRYPT' in the Execution Options field of the Concurrent Programs window when
defining a concurrent program using this executable. 'ENCRYPT' signals the concurrent
manager to pass the username/password in the environment variable fcp_login. The
argument $1 is left blank.
If you do not want the username/password passed to the program at all, enter
+'SECURE' in the Execution Options field. The concurrent manager will not pass the+
username/password to the program.

Call a unix script from pl/sql package

Hi,
Using 11.2.0.3 on AIX.
Is it possible to call unix script from pl/sql package?
I am cretaing a file in a directory but would like this to automatically be written to an archive directory as well.
Could either use 2 utl_file.put_lines to 2 separate directories or 1 utl_file and cal script to archive file in another directory.?
Thoughts?
Thanks

Can somebody point me to the documentation where how to call an external (3rd party) web service from ABAP program is explained?
Thanks & Regards,

which version of R/3 you are using. if you are on was 6.40 its very simple, there are delivered tools to generate client proxy for consuming webservice. if you are on wa 6.20 you can use cl_http_client to achieve the same. check out the following weblogs.

Execute webdynpro from abap program and return to the caller program

Guys,
I have a question here.
I know there is a way to call an abap webdynpro application from normal abap program by either using a class method, or use a function module WDY_EXECUTE_IN_PLACE by providing
the webdynpro application or using CALL TRANSACTION statement.
But, is there anyways that we can call the webdynpro application from abap program by supplying data to the webdynpro and display to the user from the portal, and then
once the user do some manipulation on the data, can we transfer back the data to the caller abap program?

hey ,
you can pack any web-dynpro program in tranasaction code and run it from R/3 and not via portal :
search in " SAPTECHNICAL" how to do so - for some reason i cant post a link here
than you can use call transaction .

Procedure to Call Workflow Object from ABAP program in Se38

Hi All,
I have one scenario like i have to call one Workflow object from ABAP program in SE38.The scenario is like below.....
I have to select some records from database table.For example there are 100 records in the internal table.
For all that records i have to invoke Workflow for getting approval from the authorized persons. Once Approval has come to program, It will post one document in SAP and process ends.
Please suggest me how to move forward with this scenario.
Regards
Manas Ranjan Panda

Hi,
So you want to start a workflow from an ABAP, if an event exists for that particular workflow then the best way is to use fm SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT,
to start a workflow from an ABAP you can use fm SAP_WAPI_START_WORKFLOW.
Kind regards, Rob Dielemans

Calling UNix Script from portal Form

Has anyone conquered this issue through jav or plsql. I need to call a unix script from the portal form when I select the insert button.

I have several very convoluted ways which all work, but I have always thought there should be more straightfwd ways. Fundamentally the easiest way to call something from the Insert button is to add some PL/SQL code before (or after) the "doInsert();" call in the Insert Button event handler.
What seems to be lacking is the ability to get from pl/sql to the o/s. So until we know how to do that you have to call a method in Java to execute o/s commands - specifically you can use Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd); where Runtime is a class in java.lang, and cmd is the actual o/s command (script or whatever).
How to call this Java is then where you have several options:
1. Compile this piece of Java into the Oracle DB as a SP.
2. Deploy this piece of Java within a Java servlet on a 9iAS instance. Then have another SP call this servlet using the utl_http package (begin_request and other sp's within package).
Which options would depend on several factors including your preference but most importantly whether you have a DB or a 9iAS instance on the machine where you want to execute the script. If you have neither you have a problem. In such cases I have used a standalone OC4J container which has a very small footprint.
As I said these methods are all quite convoluted and if anyone else has anything better I would like to know (but they work quite reliably).
Cheers.
Anton.
