Container Object - type Abstrace Interface

Hi everyone,
When I try to create a container Object in BPM of category Abs. Interface, for the type, it gets the Async Abs Interfaces only from the IR but not Sync Abs Interfaces.
Is there any reason for this. It is on sync send step.
-Naveen.

Hi,
Yes, you will not get Sync Abs interface over there.
For this you need to create 2 message containers one with Req and Resp containers . So inorder to receive the Sync Interface message in the BPM, you need to use Sync/Async Bridge open.

Object type vs interface type

Hello experts,
can anyone tell me whats the difference between object type and interface type avilable in swo1 transaction.
i also wnt to know, what is object ... object type and classes?
waiting for reply..
-Shweta

Class is just like some folder holding all the objects related to this class, lets say youve a class comanies then this class should hold all the objects related to the company, like
company id, company name , company address,, etc
for the objects types there are 3 types of them
Dimension
Details
Measure
Dimension, is the indecator for this objects, like companyID, so this is a dimenions which is indecates the company
Details, is the some extra information about some Dimension
if you have a dimension CompanyID, you can put the CompanyAddress object as a detail object for the CompanyID dimension and also like CompanyFAX , CompanyPhone,, etc
Measure, when you say measure that means something you use to measure things, when it comes to some measure in this company, like if we say a sales system, then the amount of the sales should be measure, coz you measure your company performance based on the sales amount same also for no of transactions, cost,,,, etc
and they always be aggregated to some aggregate function
like SUM, AVG, MAX, MIN,,,, etc
hope this was helpfull
good luck

How to call a Oracle Proc,which contains Object Type as in Param, from java

Hi
Would like to know how to call a Oracle Procedure which contains the Object Type Parameter from java.
Here is my code will look like...
1. CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE emp AS OBJECT
Empno NUMBER,
Ename VARCHAR2(50)
[COLOR=royalblue]In step1 I have created object type.[COLOR]
2.CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE ref_pkg IS
TYPE tab_emp IS TABLE OF emp;
END ref_pkg;
[COLOR=royalblue]In step2,I have created a table type which is of type emp;[COLOR]
3. CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE p_emp(p_emptab IN ref_pkg.tab_emp) as
BEGIN
FOR I IN 1..p_emptab.COUNT
LOOP
Some code written here
END LOOP;
END;
[COLOR=royalblue]In step3 I have passed tabletype which is of type emp as argument.[COLOR]
Now I need to invoke this procedure from JAVA.
Calling a procedure doesn�t matter.
But how I can map objecttype ? how will java recognize oracle object ?
How can I implement this ?
Any Help/Clues is Appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Bob
You can call a stored proc from a database control with the jc:sql annotation itself.
Assume a stored proc taking one In parameter
* @jc:sql statement="call sp_updateData({id})"
void call_sp_updateCust(int id);
You can even call stored proc with OUT parameters using
* @jc:sql statement="{call sp_MyProc(?, ?)}"
void call_sp_MyProc(SQLParameter[] params)
You can also call stored functions via db control.
More info and diff ways to call at

Reference data types in interface objects?

How do you create reference data type based on data type in interface object??

First create the reference DT1 in IR then create a new data type DT2 and if you want to create a reference to DT1 then in the editor select Type (3rd coloum) as the DT1 which you can get by double click on Type and then you select "search help" and select DT1 from the list.

Different EBS Adapter interfaces generate same object types differently

Hi,
We are experiencing the following behavior when using two different interfaces that are both generated from the E-Business Suite Adapter.
Wrapper packages and object types are generated and created in the database. But in both cases the generator creates a type called gme_api_pub_rowtype_sql1.
Alas, that same type has a different specification depending on the interface. Hence, one of the api's has compile errors as it expects the type to have additional parameters.
Has anyone experienced the same behavior?
More important: is there a way to overcome the problem?
Thanks, Sjoerd

To add to that:
We are not willing to have separate schemas for each of the EBS Adapter interfaces so that we can have multiple instances / occurrences of type gme_api_pub_rowtype_sql1, i.e. one per schema.
This would quickly turn into a maintenance nightmare.
Thanks, Sjoerd

S/A bridge problem: No object type found for the message

Hi all,
I've been spending days looking into the following problem. I have a RFCXIFile scenario. The R3 system sends data via an RFC to XI and XI post the data as a flat file on a certain server using FTP.
This scenario worked just fine for 1 exception. I could only run this scenario once. The second time I got timeouts when checking the data sent to my RFC destination using SM58. When I reactivated my RFC communcation channel I could again send 1 RFC to the system. All subsequent tries would fail.
I guess this is due to the fact that I use a synchonous call (RFC) to an asynchronous one. Thus the adapter is still waiting for the response from the XI system and will not accept any further new calls from R3.
So I figure let's use this pattern called the S/A bridge. So I designed everything according to guides and examples and I'm quite certain everything is configured right but when I run the scenario I get the following message:
 
- <SAP:Error xmlns:SAP="http://sap.com/xi/XI/Message/30" xmlns:SOAP="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" SOAP:mustUnderstand="">
<SAP:Category>XIAdapter</SAP:Category>
<SAP:Code area="BPE_ADAPTER">UNKNOWN_MESSAGE</SAP:Code>
<SAP:P1 />
<SAP:P2 />
<SAP:P3 />
<SAP:P4 />
<SAP:AdditionalText />
<SAP:ApplicationFaultMessage namespace="" />
<SAP:Stack>No object type found for the message. Check that the corresponding process is activated</SAP:Stack>
<SAP:Retry>M</SAP:Retry>
</SAP:Error>
It seems that the adapter cannot find any integration process to send the message into!?
I've looked at numerous threads on sdn and tried all kinds of stuff (looked at the cache==> code 0 = OK , tried to reactivate my integration process, checked the interface determination,...), but to no avail. Does anybody has an idea what could be wrong ?
Any help would be greatly appreciated for I'm all out of clues....
Bob

First of all, Thank you for trying to help me out here.
Some answer to your suggestions/questions:
The IP has return code 0 in SXI_CACHE. so that doesn't seem to be the problem.
I've checked the BPM for syntax errors. I doesn't have any.
I've reimported the BPM into the integration directory.
And did a full cache refresh in SXI_CACHE. Return code is (stays) zero, so that's OK.
I've already included the error message from SXI_MONI. It is in the last step ("Call Adater") that the error occurs.
The other steps execute just fine...
The RFC communcation channel accepts the incoming RFC call and puts into the pipeline, so no problems with the communication channel either. the problem is actually when the pipeline is trying to forward the message into an IP trhough the BPE_ADAPTER (according to SXMB_MONI).
Therefore I'm not able to go to into PE, because the workflow is never started. the BPE_ADAPTER does not find any active process for the interface determination i've entered.
So i can not debug the IP in the PE and check container variables, like some of you mentioned.
Maybe some more information about the scenario:
The RFC is called from an R3 system to XI over the interface "CONTROL_RECIPE_DOWNLOAD", which is an imported RFC, with a request and response message type.
Then I got a receiver and interface determination with lead the incoming RFC message to the IP, into interface "XI_ERP_MF_MD_CONTROL_RECIPE_REQ_AI_MI".
This is an abstract synchronous interface based on the request and response types of the "CONTROL_RECIPE_DOWNLOAD" imported RFC.
This interface is used the first step (receive) of my BPM as the synchronous interface to open the S/A bridge.
The message (container var) used in this step is
name: CORREQ
Category: Abstract interface
type: "XI_ERP_MF_MD_CONTROL_RECIPE_REQ_AI_MI"
The interface "XI_ERP_MF_MD_CONTROL_RECIPE_REQ_AI_MI" is an abstract, asynchronous interface based on the request type of the "CONTROL_RECIPE_DOWNLOAD".
Then there are 2 send steps for putting the flat files into place and finally i close the the S/A bridge using message:
name: CORRES
Category: Abstract interface
type: "XI_ERP_MF_MD_CONTROL_RECIPE_RES_AI_MI"
The interface "XI_ERP_MF_MD_CONTROL_RECIPE_RES_AI_MI" is an abstract, asynchronous interface based on the response type of the "CONTROL_RECIPE_DOWNLOAD".
I hope this information gives you guys a better understanding of hte problem.
Really looking forward to see more suggestions and to solve this nasty problem ...
Regards,
Bob

How can I sort a collection of array with different object types in it ?

Hi all,
I have a collection of ArrayList; each array contains, at the first position, the same object type.
I'd like sorting the collection by the name contained in the object at the first position of each array.
Any suggestion ?
Cheers.
Stefano

so you have a collection of a collection?
My guess is that:
You could subclass the arraylist and override it's compareTo method (I think that it implements comparable already but if not, go ahead and implement that interface).
Or you could wrap your arraylist in another class that implements comparable.
The key in my mind is correctly coding your compareTo method to look at the name in the first item of the arraylists. This should be doable and not too difficult.
Correction: after reviewing the ArrayList api, I see that it doesn't implement the Comparable interface. You will have to make any class that either inherits arraylist or contains arraylist implement the comparable interface.
One last thing: This question would probably have been better off in the java forum and not the Swing forum since it doesn't really involve Swing.
Good luck!

Implenting webdynpro as a Calable Object with GP Interface

Hi People,
I have created a webdynpro application, and want to implement it as a callable object with GP interface,
I have added all the required DC's.
There is no error in Build,
There in no error in Deployment,
But when I try to create the Callable object of the application deployed,
on selection of the application it says,

Cannot read callable object description from component: Failed to create delegate for custom controller lti.com.testwd1.TestWDComp1Interface. (Hint: Is the corresponding DC deployed correctly? Does the DC contain the component?)
and does not allow me to go next,
Please Suggest, I am not even able to find the error or cause of this behaviour,
Thanks in advance,
Deepak

Hi Deepak,
When you try to create a callable object of type webdynpro with GP interface, GP will call the getDescription method of the webdynpro interface controller.
I guess you are getting some problem with this method. Check your code written in this method.
Also check whether your application has been deployed successfully on the server from the visual administrator.

Bhavik

The intention is to create a tree structure of data.Is this structure stored in the database? If so, then what data model is used? Relational? Hierachical? Object?
Each of these have pros and cons. The object model has many when persisted in a database as it nowhere near as flexible and robust as relational. Simple example, you can define an object class called Address. You can define a collection class called addressList. You can make that collection class a column in the Customers table. This allows you to store multiple addresses for a customer - as part of the same row for a customer.
However, there is a data modeling issue here. How do you index the region code in the address to do region based sales and marketing queries? There is a performance issue here - every time a customer row is read, the Addresses column is also read and this column contains a collection of addresses... Expensive I/O wise.
If relational data model was used, there would have been an Addresses table. It would have had a region index. And every time you read a customer row, all the addresses of that customer is not automatically read into memory too.
This Pl/SQL is to be called by another program which will accept the tree structure.So PL/SQL is to deliver a tree structure class?
You have mentioned about the design being not optimal, please elaborate.
I am doing these steps to improve performance.
i already have a java code which creates the data in the tree form {common data model - XML} .
I am thinking that if I create the structure in database , it will be better for performance.What makes sense to me (performance, usability and data modeling wise) is to use a relational design to store the tree data in Oracle. Each tree item will have a unique identifier and an optional parent identifier. The latter will be a foreign key constraint to the unique identifier.
The PL/SQL procedure can use a hierachical SQL to select the relevant root nodes from the tree table (i.e. start with tree items that have null parent identifiers) and transform this into a XML and supply XML output.
This allows Java to call this PL/SQL procedure, and get XML in response.
An alternative would be to not use XML, but instead define the tree structure as Java expects it, using SQL advance data types (i.e. classes). But instead of using that for store of the tree's data, the PL/SQL proc uses it to transform the tree data (selected via a hierarchical query) into this class object structure.
The Java client then needs to have wrapper classes for these SQL classes - and when it calls the PL/SQL proc, it gets a class structure returned that it can natively use on its side.
This a tad more complex to do than the XML interface - but could be faster as the Java layer does not need to transform the XML into a local data structure... it gets an equivalent data structure directly from PL/SQL.
The only issue ito performance I can see, is attempting to use such an object structure also as data storage (Oracle table) structure. This is usually less than optimal. Fair to say, that relational data modeling still reigns supreme ito usability, integrity and performance. (at least within RDBMS products, like Oracle)

Problem using Oracle Object Types and Arrays.

I'm currently trying to work with oracle object types in java and I'm running into some issues when trying to add an item to an array.
The basic idea is that I have a header object and a detail object (both only containing an ID and a description). Inside of my java code I'm trying to add a new detail line to the header that has been retrieved from the database.
Here's what I'm working with.
--Oracle Objects:
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE dtl_obj AS OBJECT
 detail_id INTEGER,
 header_id INTEGER,
 detail_desc VARCHAR2(300)
CREATE TYPE dtl_tab AS TABLE OF dtl_obj;
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE hdr_obj AS OBJECT
 header_id INTEGER,
 src VARCHAR(30),
 details dtl_tab
CREATE TYPE hdr_tab AS TABLE OF hdr_obj;
/--Java test methods
 public static void main(String[] args) throws SQLException,
 ClassNotFoundException
 // Initialize the objects
 Test t = new Test();
 t.connect(); //Connects to the database
 //The oracle connection will be accessible through t.conn
 // Create the oracle call
 String query = "{? = call get_header(?)}";
 OracleCallableStatement cs = (OracleCallableStatement) t.conn.prepareCall(query);
 cs.registerOutParameter(1, OracleTypes.ARRAY, "HDR_TAB"); //Register the out parameter and associate it with our oracle type
 int[] hdrs = { 240 }; //we just want one for testing.
 ArrayDescriptor descriptor = ArrayDescriptor.createDescriptor(
 "ARRAY_T", t.conn);
 oracle.sql.ARRAY oHdrs = new ARRAY(descriptor, t.conn, hdrs);
 cs.setARRAY(2, oHdrs); //Set the headers to retrieve
 // Execute the query
 cs.executeQuery();
 try
 ARRAY invArray = cs.getARRAY(1);
 // Start the retrieval process
 Class cls = Class.forName(Header.class.getName());
 Map<String, Class<?>> map = t.conn.getTypeMap();
 map.put(Header._SQL_NAME, cls);
 Object[] invoices = (Object[]) invArray.getArray();
 ArrayList<Header> invs = new ArrayList(
 java.util.Arrays.asList(invoices));
 if (invs != null)
 for (Header inv : invs)
 System.out.println(inv.getHeaderId() + " " + inv.getSrc());

 System.out.println("Error while retreiving header");
 ex.printStackTrace();
 public void addDetail(Header hdr, String desc) throws Exception
 if (hdr == null)
 throw new Exception("header not initialized");
 // Convert the current list to an ArrayList so we can easily add to it.
 ArrayList<Detail> dtlLst = new ArrayList<Detail>();
 dtlLst.addAll(java.util.Arrays.asList(hdr.getDetails().getArray()));
 // Create the new detail
 Detail dtl = new Detail();
 dtl.setDetailDesc(desc);
 // add the new detail
 dtlLst.add(dtl);
 Detail[] ies = new Detail[dtlLst.size()];
 ies = dtlLst.toArray(new Detail[0]);
 DetailTable iet = new DetailTable(ies);
 hdr.setDetails(iet);
 }I know its the addDetail method causing the issue because if I comment out the t.addDetail(inv, "new line"); call it works fine.

Oracle® Database Object-Relational Developer's Guide
Also note that object relational database design is often less performant and scalable than relational. It is not very often used in production environments.
However, the object orientated programming feature that is provided with Oracle object feature set are used and can make development and interfaces a lot easier.
So in a nutshell. Say no to ref and nested table columns. Say yes to most of the other object features. IMO of course...

Also, refer the following questions on ABAP :
ABAP Interview Questions
1. How data is stored in cluster table?
Each field of cluster table behaves as tables which contains the no. of entries.
2. What are client dependant objects in abap/sap?
SAP Script layout, text element, and some DDIC objects.
3. On which even we can validate the input fields in module progams?
In PAI (Write field statement on field you want to validate, if you want to validate group of fields put in chain and End chain statement.)
4. In selection screen I have three fields, plant mat no and material group. If I input plant how do I get the mat no and material group based on plant dynamically?
AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR MATERIAL.
CALL FUNCTION 'F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST' to get material and material group for the plant.
5. How do you get output from IDOC?
Data in IDOc is stored in segments, the output from Idoc is obtained by reading the data stored in its respective segments.
6. When top of the page event is triggered?
After excuteing first write statement in start-of-selection event.
7. Can we create field without data element and how?
In SE11 one option is available above the fields strip. Data element/ direct type.
8. How do we debug sapscript?
Go to SE71 give lay set name , go to utilities select debugger mode on.
9. Which transaction code can I used to analyze the performance of ABAP program.
TCode AL21.
10. How can I copy a standard table to make my own z_table.
Go to transaction SE11. Then there is one option to copy table. Press that button. Enter the name of the standard table and in the Target table enter Z table name and press enter.
1. What is the use of 'outerjoin'
Ans. With the use of outer join you can join the tables even there is no entry in all the tables used in the view.
In case of inner join there should be an entry in al the tables use in the view.
2. When to use logical database?
Ans. Advantage of Logical databases:
less coding s required to retrieve data compared to normal internel tables.
Tables used LDB are in hierarchial structure.
3. What is the use of 'table index'?
Ans .Index is used for faster access of data base tables.
4. What is the use of 'FOR ALL ENTRIES'?
Ans. To avoid nested select statements we use SELECT FOR ALL ENTRIES statement.
If there r more than 10000 records SELECT FOR ALL ENTRIES is used.
Performance wise SELECT FOR ALL ENTRIES is better to use.
5. Can you set up background processing using CALL TRANSACTION?
Yes,Using No Screen Mode.
6. What are table buffers?
Table buffers reside locally on each application server in the system. The data of buffered tables can thus be accessed
directly from the buffer of the application server. This avoids the time-consuming process of accessing the database.
Buffering is useful if table needs to be accessed more no. of times in a program.

Deepti
1. There are other ways of entering data into a DB table. ex. B D C
2. Collect statement collect/adds the records basing on a key field. allows to create summarised data sets.
Append will append/add a record at the end of existing records
8. to release an object - use se10/se9
9. sales doc flow: S. A. - S. O. - Delivery - Billing
12. Delivery - invoice.
15. field symbols are used for dynamic allocation. at runtime u can assign a concrete field to field-symbol.
Kishore
1. you can go to abap editor (se38) and use insert statement for insertion update for update and modify for modifications.
2. collect will not allow duplicate entries, while append can allow duplicates.
3. if any changes are made to objects they are to be transported to different systems i.e, change and transport.
4. in user exits we go by general method for enhancements while BADIs we use objects (oops concepts)
methods for enhancement.
14. table controls are enhanced version for step loops where we can expand rows .main difference between these two
is step loop can be expanded to two lines table controls can`t.
15. field symbols are just like pointers concept which are used in C language. We use them when we want to refer to
the fields considered,it doesnt allocate any memory for it.
Venu Rapolu
1. Ans: Using BDC., LSMW,,ALE., BAPI
2. Ans: Collect: it adds the numeric fields to the existing non numeric key field records., thereby avoiding duplicate
values., and append will simply adds the record
3 . Ans: The CTS contains work bench organizer and transport system :
The workbench organizer is used to record and contol changes to the ABAP/4 development objects;
The transport system is used to move objects from an SAP dev.system to production system
6. Ans: Outbound interface is used to send IDocs to the ALE server.,
Inbound interface is used to Analyse the received Idoc.
7. Ans: We (ABAPers) don't do.
8. Ans: se09 or se10
13. Ans: MATMAS
CREMAS
DEBMAS
GLMAST etc...
14. Ans: to display records in table format., we use in Screens
15. Ans: we assign the field content at run time with ASSIGN stmt.
Satish D
1. goto se16 u can view the table contents
2. collect will collects all the numeric fields of nonnumeric field values
append will append record at the end of table
3. when we are creatiing new task like dev. a new prg.. after completion of dev. that will be trnsported to testing system or production system to do that we are assigning an
transport request from our dev.class(system) by using se09
4. badis are dev. by class and inheritence methods where as user exitsdev by SAP only and empty shells filled wit user logic
5. go to system then status
6. outbound generating an idoc in ale layer with master_idoc_create_messgetype,
inbound is receivng system with idoc_inbound_process, gives an return variable wether it is sucess or not
7. no we have to configur that
8. go to se09 or se01 there write your task no and use release button it will asks whats the other system name
and number enter them and relase by pressing jeep button
9. inquiry
quotation
sales order
shipping
delivery
invoice
return goods
12. after creation of delivry note invoice is prepared
13. master_idoc_distribute will generate standard idoc
Deepti
I am enclosing some of answers which I know.
1. We can use t.Code SE16 to enter values into table only if table maintainence is allowed for that table.
2. Append will add new entries into the table where as collect add into the numeric type fields if other charatcer fields
matches to your selection criteria.
3. CTS used for creation of ABAP development transport requests.The transaction code for this is SE10.
4. UserExits r used for adding additional functionality to the existing SAP standard transactions.Using UserExits we can add additional functionality standard SAP functionality without making any changes to the original code.BADI is a standardized interface for ABAP sources that enables partners and customers to enhance SAP-delivered programs in their namespace.
5 .We can identify User exits by using transactions CMOD and SMOD.
6. After entering transaction code SE10 select the transport request which u want to transport and click on transport icon(Truck symbol) to release it.
10. Purchase Requistion->RFQ->Vendor Evaluation->Purchase Order(ME21).
14. Table control is the only facility provide thru dialog programming when we come acrosse the use of updating standared,deletion,insertion and all database operations.
15. Field symbols r pointers to the existing data types(like 'C') which does not allocate any memory space. These are used faster access of data.
Answers to some ABAP Interview Questions:
Questions which I have faced in an interview:
1) What is runtime analysis? Have you used this?
2) What is meant by performance analysis? Have done anything to improve the performance?
3) How to transfer the objects? Have to transferred any objects?
4) How did you test the developed objects?
5) What is the difference between SAP Memory and ABAP Memory?
6) In order to upload Purchase order details, how you handle multiple values for a single field?
Eg: Item field may contain no. of values for a record
7) What is the procedure you followed to upload the data?
8) How did you handle errors in Call Transaction?
9) Among the Call Transaction and Session Method, which is faster?
10) What are the difference between Interactive and Drill Down Reports?
11) How to pass the variables to forms?
12) How to create a link between modified form and modified print program?
13) What is the table, which contain the details of all the name of the programs and forms?
14) How did you test the form u developed? How did you taken print?
15) What are Standard Texts?
16) What is the difference between Clustered Tables and Pooled Tables?
17) What is pf-status?
18) Among "Move" and "Move Corresponding", which is efficient one?
19) What are the output type and Tcodes?
20) Where we use Chain and Endchain?
21) Do you use select statement in loop endloop, how will be the performance? To improve the performance?
22) In select-options, how to get the default values as current month first date and last date by default?
Eg: 1/12/2004 and 31/12/2004
Go thru these answers:
1) What is runtime analysis? Have you used this?
It's checks program execution time in microseconds. When you go to se30.if you give desired program name in performance file. It will take you to below screen. You can get how much past is your program.
2) What is meant by performance analysis? Have done
3) How to transfer the objects? Have you transferred any objects?
4) How did you test the developed objects?
I was testing a developed object. There are two types of testing
- Negative testing
- Positive testing
In negative testing we will give negative data in input and we check any errors occurs.
In positive testing we will give positive data in input for checking errors.
8) How did you handle errors in Call Transaction?
We can create a internal table like 'bsgmcgcoll'. All the messages will go to internal table. We can get errors in this internal table.
Below messages are go to internal table. when you run the call transaction.
- Message type
- Message id
- Message Number
- Variable1
- Variable2
- Variable3
9) Among the Call Transaction and Session Method, which is faster?
Call transaction is faster then session method. But usually we use session method in real time...because we can transfer large amount of data from internal table to database and if any errors in a session. Process will not complete until session get correct.
10) What are the difference between Interactive and Drill Down Reports?
ABAP/4 provides some interactive events on lists such as AT LINE-SELECTION (double click) or AT USER-COMMAND (pressing a button). You can use these events to move through layers of information about individual items in a list.
Drill down report is nothing but interactive report...drilldown means above paragraph only.
11) How to pass the variables to forms?
12) What is the table, which contain the details of all the name of the programs and forms?
Table contains vertical and horizontal lines. We can store the data in table as blocks. We can scroll depends upon your wish. And these all are stored in database (data dictionary).
Which contain the details of all the name of the programs and forms? (I don't know).
13) How did you test the form u developed? How did you taken print?
14) What are Standard Texts?
16) What is the difference between Clustered Tables and Pooled Tables?
A pooled table is used to combine several logical tables in the ABAP/4 dictionary. Pooled tables are logical tables that must be assigned to a table pool when they are defined.
Cluster table are logical tables that must be assigned to a table cluster when they are defined.
Cluster table can be used to store control data they can also used to store temporary data or text such as documentation.
17) What is pf-status?
Pf status is used in interactive report for enhancing the functionality. If we go to se41, we can get menus, items and different function keys, which we are using for secondary list in interactive report.
18) Among "Move" and "Move Corresponding", which is efficient one?
I guess, 'move corresponding' is very efficient then 'move' statement. Because usually we use this stamtent for internal table fields only...so if we give move corresponding. Those fields only moving to other place (what ever you want).
19) What are the output type and Tcodes?
20) Where we use Chain and End chain?
21) Do you use select statement in loop end loop, how will be the performance? To improve the performance?
22) In select-options, how to get the default values as current month first date and last date by default?
Eg: 1/12/2004 and 31/12/2004
SAP ABAP interview questions
Thanks to the reader who sent in this question set:
1. What is an ABAP data dictionary?- ABAP 4 data dictionary describes the logical structures of the objects used in application development and shows how they are mapped to the underlying relational database in tables/views.
2. What are domains and data element?- Domains:Domain is the central object for describing the technical characteristics of an attribute of an business objects. It describes the value range of the field. Data Element: It is used to describe the semantic definition of the table fields like description the field. Data element describes how a field can be displayed to end-user.
3. What is foreign key relationship?- A relationship which can be defined between tables and must be explicitly defined at field level. Foreign keys are used to ensure the consistency of data. Data entered should be checked against existing data to ensure that there are now contradiction. While defining foreign key relationship cardinality has to be specified. Cardinality mentions how many dependent records or how referenced records are possible.
4. Describe data classes.- Master data: It is the data which is seldomly changed. Transaction data: It is the data which is often changed. Organization data: It is a customizing data which is entered in the system when the system is configured and is then rarely changed. System data:It is the data which R/3 system needs for itself.
5. What are indexes?- Indexes are described as a copy of a database table reduced to specific fields. This data exists in sorted form. This sorting form ease fast access to the field of the tables. In order that other fields are also read, a pointer to the associated record of the actual table are included in the index. Yhe indexes are activated along with the table and are created automatically with it in the database.
6. Difference between transparent tables and pooled tables.- Transparent tables: Transparent tables in the dictionary has a one-to-one relation with the table in database. Its structure corresponds to single database field. Table in the database has the same name as in the dictionary. Transparent table holds application data. Pooled tables. Pooled tables in the dictionary has a many-to-one relation with the table in database. Table in the database has the different name as in the dictionary. Pooled table are stored in table pool at the database level.
7. What is an ABAP/4 Query?- ABAP/4 Query is a powerful tool to generate simple reports without any coding. ABAP/4 Query can generate the following 3 simple reports: Basic List: It is the simple reports. Statistics: Reports with statistical functions like Average, Percentages. Ranked Lists: For analytical reports. - For creating a ABAP/4 Query, programmer has to create user group and a functional group. Functional group can be created using with or without logical database table. Finally, assign user group to functional group. Finally, create a query on the functional group generated.
8. What is BDC programming?- Transferring of large/external/legacy data into SAP system using Batch Input programming. Batch input is a automatic procedure referred to as BDC(Batch Data Communications).The central component of the transfer is a queue file which receives the data vie a batch input programs and groups associated data into sessions.
9. What are the functional modules used in sequence in BDC?- These are the 3 functional modules which are used in a sequence to perform a data transfer successfully using BDC programming: BDC_OPEN_GROUP - Parameters like Name of the client, sessions and user name are specified in this functional modules. BDC_INSERT - It is used to insert the data for one transaction into a session. BDC_CLOSE_GROUP - This is used to close the batch input session.
10. What are internal tables?- Internal tables are a standard data type object which exists only during the runtime of the program. They are used to perform table calculations on subsets of database tables and for re-organising the contents of database tables according to users need.
11. What is ITS? What are the merits of ITS?- ITS is a Internet Transaction Server. ITS forms an interface between HTTP server and R/3 system, which converts screen provided data by the R/3 system into HTML documents and vice-versa. Merits of ITS: A complete web transaction can be developed and tested in R/3 system. All transaction components, including those used by the ITS outside the R/3 system at runtime, can be stored in the R/3 system. The advantage of automatic language processing in the R/3 system can be utilized to language-dependent HTML documents at runtime.
12. What is DynPro?- DynPro is a Dynamic Programming which is a combination of screen and the associated flow logic Screen is also called as DynPro.
13. What are screen painter and menu painter?- Screen painter: Screen painter is a tool to design and maintain screen and its elements. It allows user to create GUI screens for the transactions. Attributes, layout, filed attributes and flow logic are the elements of Screen painter. Menu painter: Menu painter is a tool to design the interface components. Status, menu bars, menu lists, F-key settings, functions and titles are the components of Menu painters. Screen painter and menu painter both are the graphical interface of an ABAP/4 applications.
14. What are the components of SAP scripts?- SAP scripts is a word processing tool of SAP which has the following components: Standard text. It is like a standard normal documents. Layout sets. - Layout set consists of the following components: Windows and pages, Paragraph formats, Character formats. Creating forms in the R/3 system. Every layout set consists of Header, paragraph, and character string. ABAP/4 program.
15. What is ALV programming in ABAP? When is this grid used in ABAP?- ALV is Application List viewer. Sap provides a set of ALV (ABAP LIST VIEWER) function modules which can be put into use to embellish the output of a report. This set of ALV functions is used to enhance the readability and functionality of any report output. Cases arise in sap when the output of a report contains columns extending more than 255 characters in length. In such cases, this set of ALV functions can help choose selected columns and arrange the different columns from a report output and also save different variants for report display. This is a very efficient tool for dynamically sorting and arranging the columns from a report output. The report output can contain up to 90 columns in the display with the wide array of display options.
16. What are the events in ABAP/4 language?- Initialization, At selection-screen, Start-of-selection, end-of-selection, top-of-page, end-of-page, At line-selection, At user-command, At PF, Get, At New, At LAST, AT END, AT FIRST.
17. What is CTS and what do you know about it?- The Change and Transport System (CTS) is a tool that helps you to organize development projects in the ABAP Workbench and in Customizing, and then transport the changes between the SAP Systems and clients in your system landscape. This documentation provides you with an overview of how to manage changes with the CTS and essential information on setting up your system and client landscape and deciding on a transport strategy. Read and follow this documentation when planning your development project.
18. What are logical databases? What are the advantages/ dis-advantages of logical databases?- To read data from a database tables we use logical database. A logical database provides read-only access to a group of related tables to an ABAP/4 program. Advantages: i)check functions which check that user input is complete, correct,and plausible. ii)Meaningful data selection. iii)central authorization checks for database accesses. iv)good read access performance while retaining the hierarchical data view determined by the application logic. dis advantages: i)If you donot specify a logical database in the program attributes,the GET events never occur. ii)There is no ENDGET command,so the code block associated with an event ends with the next event statement (such as another GET or an END-OF-SELECTION).
19. What is a batch input session?- BATCH INPUT SESSION is an intermediate step between internal table and database table. Data along with the action is stored in session ie data for screen fields, to which screen it is passed, program name behind it, and how next screen is processed.
20. How to upload data using CATT ?- These are the steps to be followed to Upload data through CATT: Creation of the CATT test case & recording the sample data input. Download of the source file template. Modification of the source file. Upload of the data from the source file.
21. What is Smart Forms?- Smart Forms allows you to create forms using a graphical design tool with robust functionality, color, and more. Additionally, all new forms developed at SAP will be created with the new Smart Form solution.
22. How can I make a differentiation between dependent and independent data?- Client dependent or independent transfer requirements include client specific or cross client objects in the change requests. Workbench objects like SAPscripts are client specific, some entries in customizing are client independent. If you display the object list for one change request, and then for each object the object attributes, you will find the flag client specific. If one object in the task list has this flag on, then that transport will be client dependent.
23. What is the difference between macro and subroutine? - Macros can only be used in the program the are defined in and only after the definition are expanded at compilation / generation. Subroutines (FORM) can be called from both the program the are defined in and other programs . A MACRO is more or less an abbreviation for some lines of code that are used more than once or twice. A FORM is a local subroutine (which can be called external). A FUNCTION is (more or less) a subroutine that is called external. Since debugging a MACRO is not really possible, prevent the use of them (Ive never used them, but seen them in action). If the subroutine is used only local (called internal) use a FORM. If the subroutine is called external (used by more than one program) use a FUNCTION.

PL/SQL Object Type - Java oracle.jbo.domain

PL/SQL Object Type <-> Java oracle.jbo.domain
can anybody help me, getting my domains to work?
Following scenario:
in pl/sql we have an object type called MULTI_LANGUAGE. This type is used for storing multilingual texts as nested table in one(!) column.
So the object MULTI_LANGUAGE contains a member variable LANGUAGE_COLLECTION of type LANGUAGE_TABLE, which itself is a nested table of objects
of the type LANGUAGE_FIELD (this again is only a language id and the corresponding content)
Also the methods setContent(langID, langContent) and getContent(langId) are defined on Object MULTI_LANGUAGE.
For example: Table having primary key, 2 other columns and one column of object type MULTI_LANGAGE (=nested table of objects)
|ID|Column1|Column2| multilingual Column |
|--|---------------------------------------|
| | | | ------------------- |
| | | | | 1 | hello | |
| | | | ------------------- |
|1 | foo | bar | | 2 | hallo | | <- Row Nr 1
| | | | ------------------- |
| | | | | 3 | ola | |
| | | | ------------------- |
|--|-------|-------|-----------------------|
| | | | ------------------- |
| | | | | 1 | world | |
| | | | ------------------- |
|2 | abc | def | | 2 | welt | | <- Row Nr 2
| | | | ------------------- |
| | | | | 3 | ??? ;-) | |
| | | | ------------------- |
|--|-------|-------|-----------------------|Now i've tried to modell this structure as an oracle.jbo.domain.
class MultiLanguage extends Struct having this StructureDef:
attrs[(0)] = new DomainAttributeDef("LanguageColl", "LANGUAGE_COLL", 0, oracle.jbo.domain.Array.class, 2003, "ARRAY", -127, 0, false, "campusonlinepkg.common.LanguageField");
and
class LanguageField extends Struct having this StructureDef:
attrs[(0)] = new DomainAttributeDef("Id", "ID", 0, oracle.jbo.domain.Number.class, 2, "NUMERIC", -127, 0, false);
attrs[(1)] = new DomainAttributeDef("Content", "CONTENT", 1, java.lang.String.class, 12, "VARCHAR", -127, 4000, false);
Is there anything wrong with this StructureDef?
When running the BC-Browser with -Djbo.debugoutput=console -Djbo.jdbc.driver.verbose=true parameters I get suspect warnings when browsing the records

(XMLTEST is the name of the schema)
Seems as if the framework can't read the TypeDescriptor or does not know which descriptor to read (XMLTEST.null??)
Do I have to implement my own JboTypeMap?
Please help, I'm stuck.
Thanks in advance, Christian

Thanks for your suggestion, but it seems to me as if there is one level missing.
in pl/sql I have following structure:
Struct MULTI_LANGUAGE (Object type) - outermost
Array LANGUAGE_TABLE (nested table type)
 Struct LANGUAGE_FIELD (Object type simple) - innermostthe reason why i had to wrap another struct around the array was because it is not possible to define methods on a nested table. this is only possible on objects.
on the outermost object type (which holds the array of language fields) I needed to define following 2 methods for direct access:
getContent (langId in number) returns varchar2
setContent (langId in number, langContent in varchar2)
I would like to rebuild the same structure in java, because newly written java code should live in perfect harmony with legacy pl/sql code ;-)
Both applications (Java and pl/sql) have to access the same data as long as migration to java goes on.
Is this nested structure too much for a Domain?
Any other suggestions?
Thanks again, Christian
