CATW and CAT2 Transactions

Hello,
Could someone tell me the main differences between both transactions?
I know CATW is an Easy Web transaction and CAT2 isn't. But when I'm launching CATW transaction in a web browser, all the fields are misplaced and I can't do anything.
What're the main advantages for use CATW transaction instead of CAT2 transaction in a web browser?
Thanks!
Miguel Angel.

Hi Jason,
You can schedule the program RCATS_APPROVE_ACTIVITIES in back ground. In the approval of timesheet tab there is a check box for Automatic approval (customer exit). If we check this box the system calls the APPROVE_CATS_CLASSIC or APPROVE_CATS_SERVICE_PROVIDER methods from the business add-in CATS_REPORTING.
Hope this will help you.

Customization of CAT2 transaction - Very Urgent

Dear SDNers,
We have created variant version for standard CAT2 transaction using SHDS trans code. (Just to hide some of the options from the end user to enhance the usability). To extend the usability, we need to do the following activity.
In the Release View of CAT2, when user clicks Release, the save should happen internally. Could we achieve this using some configuration? If not, to achieve this activity, how can I proceed to perform further customization? Could we achieve this by modifying some HTML / Dynpro code etc? If, what could be the approach?
PS:
I am not interested to do the customization of standard CAT2 transaction program using user exits and then create variant out of this.
I have explored CATW but the client shown interest to use standard CAT2

Points will be awarded immediately.

Hello Seshagiri,
your question is not really about ITS, but rather on how to customize the Application. I am not sure if there is a forum for CA-TS, but if there is, I am pretty certain you will get more (and better) answers there ...

SAP HR CAT2 transaction

Hello,
I am an ABAP consultant working with CAT2 transaction .
I wanted to know in which table is the work center and plant for an employee stored?I mean does HR use common work center & plant tables used by other modules like PP,MM or it uses a database of its own to store this.
Which are the tables from which I can retrieve the work center & plant for a specific personnel (corresponding to CAT2 transaction) & ,and what data we need to input to get this?
The reason for this requirement is that I am using bapi 'BAPI_CATIMESHEETMGR_INSERT' to insert records from incoming file and it throws the error while inserting that says 'Enter a work center and a plant',whereas if you enter the same in CAT2 transaction it has the inherent functionality to retrieve the work center & plant and updating CATSDB.
So I want to populate the internal table with work center&plant before passing it to the BAPI,so that it doesn't throw such an error.
Please let me know if you have any info pertaining to this.
Thanks.

Have a look on the employees infotype 315 (via transaction pa30), this stores the Plant and is a default to the CAT2 screen.
Another option is that you can turn these two fields off in the CATS profile (Transaction CAC1).

How to update values in the table control at Cat2 transaction,

Hi,
i am working on cat2 transaction, here
i am using the exit_saplcats_006 and updating values at catsdb table, but i want to display this values at the table control in the cat2 transaction.
   can any one provide me solution for this same.
Regards

Hi Suresh
this is actual requirement
in the CAT2.
1. Add a new column for WBS description and derive the value as per the FS
2. Retrieve project number and description and update in the column specified
3. When a service order is selected it should do the same for 2.
4. Finally repeat for the worklist view (which is the section above)
   here i am able to display values at data entry area
for service order and network but not worklist area ?
    updation is not coming, can u plz go throw it..
Thanks

CAT2 Transaction & Save button

Hello,
When I'm entering data into the CAT2 transaction and I click over Save button, the screen "jumps" to initial SAP screen (SESSION_MANAGER). Can I avoid this?
Thanks!
Miguel Angel.

Hello again,
Really, I noticed that the transaction "jumps" to back screen, not the initial SAP one. Can I avoid this?
Thx!
Miguel Angel.

BDC to update CAT2 transaction.one issue while updating CAT2 transaction

Good Day Friends,
i have one issue while updating CAT2 transaction,
i have enhnced 3 custom fields in CAT2 tx-code. while updating through manually the data is getting stored in CATSDB tx-code for this i have done validation in enhamcement spots ECC 6.0.
but when i am running bdc this custom field data is not updating in CATSDB table.
my dout is will BDC work for enhancement spots or not , also please suggest if you have any idea ?

Hi,
Usually I am trying to avoid BDC. So I would try to use BAPIs BAPI_CATIMESHEETMGR_INSERT and BAPI_CATIMESHEETMGR_CHANGE. Similar to other BAPIs, you can pass values for your extended fields using table EXTENSIONIN. It's described in BAPI's documentation or look for EXTENSIONIN on SDN. The principle is same for all BAPIs.

Calling billing and delivery transactions when i click the button in webdyn

Hi,
How to call the transactions like billing and delivery when i click the button.I am developing a webdynpro alv report in that 2 buttons are there.one is confirmation and another is cancel.
I want to call the billing transaction when i press the confirmation button?

Hi Lakshmi,
It is not possible to directly call a transaction code from a wev application. Calling a transaction involves launching of SAP Dynpros which is not supported by WDA frame work.
One possible ways is to use transactional iViews in Portal. We can Associate a transaction code to this and when called, it launches the same in an R/3 Screen.
If you are using portal as a triggerring point of your web dynpro applications, then the below requirement is achieved by doing the following.
1. Create a BDC report program to call transaction CAT2 skipping the first screen.
2. The report has the same input parameters as that of the transaction CAT2.
3. Associate a transaction to the report program sat 'ZCAT2'.
In the event handler of the button in your web dynpro do that following
Data declarations
Local Internal tables(lt_)
lt_bus_parameter_list TYPE wdy_key_value_table,
lt_launcher_parameter_list TYPE wdy_key_value_table,

SAP has provided us with customizing table to maintain the path for the iView.Here Resource_key is the key field to get the path.
We create a new entry in this table using which we uniquely identify the path of the iVew that needs to be launched.
get the url of the pcd page for the common transaction iView
SELECT SINGLE b~text
INTO l_pcdpageurl
FROM t7xssserstring AS b
INNER JOIN t7xssserres AS a
ON a~respcdpage = b~guid
WHERE a~ressource = /rio/zcl_hse_constants=>c_common_resource.
Navigate to the Injury Illness details
CALL METHOD l_port_manager->navigate_absolute
EXPORTING
navigation_target = l_pcdpageurl
navigation_mode = l_port_manager->co_show_external
use_sap_launcher = abap_true
business_parameters = lt_bus_parameter_list
launcher_parameters = lt_launcher_parameter_list.
The folowing is the flow of the program:
When user clicks a button to launch transaction CAT2, the event handler associated to it called.
Here we populate an internal table with the parameters to call transaction ZCAT2 and the iView is launched by calling navigate_absolute method with the right path.
I am not very much sure as to how the iViews are set up but there is a provision to read the key valure pair there. The values are read and the tranzation ZCAT2 is called which will inturn launch CAT2 transaction.
By adding Skip First screen statement we can get in the details directly.
Hope this helps.

Sravan Varagani

Cost Centre not popping up in CAT2 transaction

Dear Experts,
I'm new to SAP HR and seems I have missed some entry in maintaining HR master Data (PA30). I have assigned Personnel Number to Enterprise structure and therein I have made an entry for cost centre field as well.
When I go to CAT2 transaction for time recording for this personnel, the cost sentre field does not display the cost centre and is greyed out.
Also I get the error ' Enter sender activity type for cost centre' .
Please help me identify the missing entries.
Regards,
Jyoti

Hi,
Hope the 'cost center not appearing in CAT2' error is resolved by now?
If not, please maintain cost center in IT0315 (Time Sheet Defaults) . You'll see the K in CAT2 time entry screen.

Status used in open and completed transactions in Fact Sheet

Hi! I would like to confirm the logics used in the fact sheet to display open and completed transactions. I read on the help that for open (for example) transactions, system is using status 'open' and 'in process'. This seems to me like system status. However, when I ran the fact sheet, the control is more at the user status level. So, I need clarification on this. Also, where can I find the status and transaction logics used for the extraction of these transactions (e.g. what transaction types are used)? I could not find the codings in the method GET_REPORT under class CL_CRM_CCKPT_PROCESS_CLOSED for example. Perhaps I have looked in the wrong place?
Appreciate any help on the above.
Cheers!
SF

No response. Based on what is being debugged, all transactions are taken into account.

Session method and call transaction methos which one is the sap recomonded

hi
PLease give me the answer to these questions.
session method and call transaction methos which one is the sap recomonded why .
2) if we want to maintain BDC program in all the systems.wt to d0

Hi Revethi,
Here is the difference between the Session and Call Transaction method.
Session
Session method supports both small amount of data aswell as large amount of data
2) data processing is asynchronus and data updation is synchronus.
3) it process multiple apllication while perfomaning validations.
4) in session method data will be updated in data base only after processing session only.
5) system provide by default logfile for handling error records.
6) it supports both foreground aswell as background process
in bdc we use FM ... bdc_open_group " for creating Session
bdc_insert " adding transaction and bdcdata table for updating database
bdc_close_group " for closing Session
Call Transaction
Call transaction exclusively for small amout of data
2) it supports only one apllication while perfoming validations
3) there is no default logfile, We can explicitly provide logic for creating logfile for handling error records.
we can create logfile by using structure....BDCMSGCOLL
4) it doesn't support background processing.
5) data processing is synchronous and Data updation is Synchronous( default), in
this method also supports daya updation in asynchronus process also.
Syntax:
Call transaction <transaction-name> using BDCDATA
mode <A/N/E> update <L/A/S>
messages into BDCMSGCOLL.

The problem is in Oracle Spatial.
Oracle database don't support Temporary tables and XA transactions together. Oracle Spatial uses temporary tables.
Possible solution (I am using)
One database connection(nonXA) to read data and one connection(XA) to insedt/update/delete data including spatial data.

How to use DataSource and External transaction in 9ias?

I'm working on a project that the application server needs to connect to over 100 databases.
I'd like to use connection pooling and external transaction service defined in OC4J's Datasources.
I wonder if anyone has an example of using datasource and external transaction service for OC4J.
Right now, I export toplink project to a java source and do the initialization there manually but I don't know how to use Datasource to get connections and how to use the external transaction service in the java code for OC4J.
I really appreciate you help.
Wei

Here is a fill in the blank example on how you could set this up through code:
Project project = new MyProject();
// alternatively, use the XMLProjectReader
server = project.createServerSession();
server.getLogin().useExternalConnectionPooling();
server.getLogin().setConnector(new JNDIConnector(new javax.naming.InitialContext(), "jdbc/DataSourceName"));
// the next line depends on the type of driver you want to use.
server.getLogin().useOracleThinJDBCDriver();
server.getLogin().useOracle();
server.getLogin().setUserName("username");
server.getLogin().setPassword("password");
server.getLogin().useExternalTransactionController();
server.setExternalTransactionController(new Oracle9iJTSExternalTransactionController());
server.logMessages();
server.login();
