Conversion from WDJ to WDA

Hello,
I have been working on Webdynpro for Java in ESS/MSS for a while now....I read that the Application for the HR Administrator Role have been converted from Webdynpro for Java to Webdynpro for ABAP.....is it true that SAP is slowly migrating all thier Web-Based Applications(ESS and MSS also) to WDA from WDJ.......?
Any help would be highly appreciated.

Hi Subhash,
Please refer this WDJ Vs WDA what to use?

Question on png's, gif's, and jpg's as imageSources in WDJ and WDA

If you go to MIMEs in SE80, you will find that the WDA imageSources for the WDA version of the WDJ/NWDS Quiz tutorial are a mixed-bag: gif's, png's, and I think one jpg.
In NWDS/WDJ, on the other hand, the Quiz tutorial (#2) calls for all images to be jpg's.
If I download the gif's and png's using the download function in SE80, can I declare the imageSources in NWDS/WDJ using these two suffixes as well as the jpg suffix?
Or does NWDS/WDJ require all imageSources to be jpg's ???

You can use any of the mentioned images types in WD Java.

Calling WDJ from WDA application

Hi experts,
Can anyone please tell me that how 2 call a WDJ application from a WDA application. Please explain in detail as i am complete novice in this field.
thnx.

Hi Thomas and experts,
I have requirement where i need to call WD java standard application.
My requirement : I am displaying teamview in my MSS through OADP by using WD ABAP...
                             Initial Screen displays columns like Position, Employee name , Job ...etc
                                 when manager select position in teamview ....it has to check whether positions region went live or not.
                                I) IF position region went live then it has to open 3rd party tool and pass parameters(Here i am open 3rd      party URL and passing parameters)
Here my requirement, 2)Already we have standard WDJ application which is using as of now, so if positions region has not gone live then i have to call standard WDJ application with passing parameter and skipping initial screen which is displaying teamview and continue with position details
Is this possible through portal which explained above. can any one suggest me how to proceed .
Thanks in advance...

Call WDJ from WDA

Hi
Is is possible to call Web Dynpro Java components from Web Dynpro ABAP ones? We currently have an SAP Portal based on NW2004 and are just upgrading to ECC6.0 and wish to use WDA. However, it is likely we will want to integrate the WDA components with existing WDJ components rather than rewrite a lot of java code to ABAP.
Any ideas anyone?
Regards
Ian

Hi Ian,
the 2 WD application sets should coexist ok.
Navigating directly from one to the other is like any URL link.
I guess you knew that.
You can not treat them as subcomponents.
If you hope to do context level component embedding,
then I believe you are without luck.
The framework assumes the Component to be embedded is on the same stack.
Evening embedding WDA1 inside WDA2 on another ABAP stack is limited to URL
suspend and resume plugs.
I tried exactly what you want in 2 ABAP stacks without luck.
It all comes back to SESSION. I assume the JAVA stack cant work with the ABAP stacks session. Dont know WDJ enough to be sure.
So only rudimentary url parameter passing to pass data back and forth.
I hope your components are nicely encapsulated and can be called via URLs
regards
Phil.

Starting WDJ through WDA

We have a requirement where a custom WDA screen sends the PERNR as a parameter and calls Standard WDJ screen.
Has anyone attempted this funcationality?
What are the setting / Parameter we should be passing to call the Standard WDJ from custome WDA component?

From help link
To control communication channels externally,
you use an HTTP GET or POST request to the following URL:
http(s)://host:port/AdapterFramework/ChannelAdminServlet?
party=party&service=service&channel=channel&action=action
The parameters in italics are described in the following table:
party
Identifies the party of the channel to be administered. You can use an
asterisk (*) as a placeholder to administer several channels simultaneously.
service
Identifies the communication component of the channel to be administered. You can
use an asterisk (*) as a placeholder to administer several channels simultaneously.
channel
Identifies the name of the channel to be administered. You can use
an asterisk (*) as a placeholder to administer several channels simultaneously.
action
Identifies the action to be executed (start, stop, or status).
You use the start and stop actions to start and stop the channels.
You can use the status action to query the status of one or more channels

Can we use WDJ and WDA page with one process together ?

Hi All,
Thank you for your answer.
Thanks and Regards

Hi Zhiqiang,
You can run a WDA and WDJ together on a single page using the portal. Communication between them is possible using portal eventing. Nonetheless, both will be different applications running on different platforms. Hence, it is not possible to i.e. define a component use to a WDA component from within a WDJ one and vice versa. That's similiar to not being able to integrate ABAP/Java coding directly within Java/ABAP.
Best regards,
Thomas

WDJ vs WDA

Hi,
SAP recently announced that in future ( EHP5 onwards ) they will promote only WDA. Though the support will continue for WDJ.
What is the future of WDJ in that case?
Also, for people certified in Netweaver Java this is a huge blow.
I am confused are they scrapping away WDJ ?? will it affect the WDJ programmers?
Please clarify sdn.
Thanks,
Veena.

I think this is the most debated topic among webdynpro java professionals...
I work on both WebDynpro ABAP and WebDynpro JAVA and they have their own pros and cons. SAP might be going with WD ABAP applications in recent releases, but I don't think that is going to happen that all SAP applications and custom developments are going to be in WD ABAP.
WD ABAP falls back in race when we want work with legacy/non-sap systems in the landscape. Consuming a web service is not as straight as in WD Java, and never came across a recommendation suggesting generation of proxy classes in ABAP for web services. This is where WD ABAP lags now.
With my experience, I can say, the time consumed for developing a WD ABAP application is much less when compared to time consumed by WD Java. Another fact, WebDynpro ABAP application is less error prone as most of the code is from code wizard and the debug environment helps in quick fixing code and issues. This way, development is easier and quicker. This might be one reason SAP is moving towards WD ABAP
With WebDynpro Java, development is quite tedious due to J2EE engine deployments and server restarts. Java code in WD Java applications is less readable than ABAP code WD ABAP application due to debug facility available. We do have debug option in WD Java, which is considered server load and requires special grants and administration. I never tried debuggin a Java application, neither saw someone doing it. As know, Java is more error prone, and with concept of Development Components, it became more error prone due to dependencies and requires good experience and expert skills to work on.
This goes this way, more flexibility more bugs. That's how WD Java goes. That is its con and that is its pro.

What HR applications of WDJ can be moved to WDA ?

Dear Guru's,
I will be assigned to an HR project, where my role would be to convert existing Webdynpro Java applications to custom Webdynpro ABAP applications.
It will be helpful, if you can please tell me some specific WDJ application names, that you have experienced in converting to custom WDA applications.
Also, please tell me, what is need to convert WDJ applications to custom WDA applications ? Is it because of version differences ?
What should i concentrate, when i convert them from WDJ to WDA ? For example, when i explore an existing WDJ application, how can i identify a function module call within the WDJ applications ?
Thanks and Regards.

Hi
Looking after your explanation i beleive that you have a requirement for ESS/MSS.If yes, then It depends on the EHP level you are working. Till EHP 4 we have WDJ versions fully supporting for ESS/MSS. from EHP5 80-90% of applications are in ABAP. Most of the cases I've seen people still working on Java in EHP 5. In such case you will face problem in working with Travel Mgt services. SAP recommends to Migrate from JAVA to ABAP. Apart from these we are still using JAVA services for few more applications/services in EHP5&6 like
Who's who - WDJ
Change own data-WDJ
Sec 80 & 80C Deductions - WDJ
Hope this Info will be useful

Select-options in WDJ user interface

Hi Experts,
I would like to know why select-options found in SAP GUI screens is not available in WDJ. WDA however has provided this. Is there a possibility that this might be added sometime soon? Or may I please know the reason for omission.
Warm Regards,
Abdullah

no, what I mean is the select-options user interface component. Where in you can specify a range. For example: I can enter a range of employee numbers to be selected for a particular report. In that same control, I can omit some of the employees that I dont want. You can also check the following link for the select-options feature in WDA.

WDA + External Portal + Security

Hello friends!
@Moderator, sorry if I post it in a wrong forum, but I think the wda experts should have already faced this issue.
I've been reading all forums regarding to this subject. As you are going to see, I'm not used to work with WDA Portal integrations and I'm studying hard for it.
Could you please just guide me what I have be aware to connect WDA from a ERP server to another server, which has installed the Portal? (portal is accessed externally/internet)
I'm afraid about security, as the employees will access the portal by internet (it's already working fine, today they can access the portal externally and can use some Webdynpros Java) But for now, we are going to rewrite these WDJ to WDA.
1) The portal server connecting WDA's from a ERP server, isn't it a best practice?
2) As it is already working (external access to the portal), for now I have just to create the iViews to the WDA's from ERP server?
3) What would be the security risk when people access the external link to the Portal and the Portal redirected it to the ERP?
I would greatly appreciate your help in only guide me.
Thanks in advanced!

Hello Alexandre,
Please find the answers to your queries.

Not at all, The composition Environment CE is intended for this purpose only.

First you need to create a system connection in portal to the ERP server. Later you need to create the iViews
Alexandre Mendes wrote:

As per my knowledge there is no security risk involved because while accessing the WDA application from ERP the request will be authenticated again.

Address change to W-4 link

@Sid.....it doesn't seem to do it anymore for WDJ or WDA services. Those settings for the IAC (Internet Applicaiton Component.....the older ITS services) are there but seem pretty useless given no one uses ITS anymore (or are moving off it if they do). Just seems really odd though. I have traced the WDJ service and see no where in any of the RFCs it uses that there is any check for the W4 indicator which would then pop-up the W4 service. My thinking is that this is due in part to two things....one, ESS is now in the portal (unlike the way ITS/IACs could be ran before)......two, they would have to account for the Homepage Framework and knowing the PCD path to your W4 resource (since you might be using a modified iView and they cant assume to launch the standard one).
I might use the input/output conversion classes of IT0006 to put a "check" in there for W4 if all else fails. If the "check" determines that the user needs to update their W4 information for the given "state" change in address, I could lock their record and trigger a workflow that sends them the link/reminder to update their W4 which would then unlock their record on completion. Hmmmm....just thinking out loud. =)

Webdynpro Java and ESS/MSS

Hello,
It has been a rumour for a long time and now it seems that SAP will convert all ESS/MSS services into Webdynpro ABAP....so i want to know what's the plan for Webdynpro Java ...? what areas will it be used...? and what are the options for Webdynpro Java Developers....? ...one thing for sure is to learn Webdynpro ABAP...
Regards,
Anil

As far as I know, SAP has changed travel management and HR administraor from WDJ to WDA as of EhP1.
Do you have any ideas about any other BP?
Actually, I wonder SAP has been developed any new BP based on WDJ after EhP is introduced.

Portal web dynpro form link as email .

Dear All
The requirement goes like this:
We are developing a form in web dynpro and integerating into portal as an iview.
Whenever the user submits a new form we should send a link of the form in portal to the user as email (with some parameters like form id for the webdynpro to open the correct form)
How can build this link to the portal form dynamically and send it?
As this web dynpro application will be accessed form different portal .I do not prefer hardcoding the host or url etc.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
PS : Portal and web bynpro are on different system..

I think this should be possible by passing the parameters via URL. You will have a URL created for your webdynpro application. Now add the URL parameters as name-value pairs separated by "&". Send this URL as the email. For example the URL might look like
http://<Static URL to the webdynpro application>&FORMID=1234
Insert the appropriate code in your webdynpro application to read the parameters values from URL. I am not giving the code here as i am not sure if it is WDJ or WDA application but in either case u have separate classes which reads the URL parameters.
As this web dynpro application will be accessed form different portal .I do not prefer hardcoding the host or url etc.
Can you please clarify more on this. Irrespective of your application (WDA or WDJ) i believe there shud be a static URL to access your webdynpro application (atleast a blank application without data).
Thanks,
Prasath N

Upgrading from Portal NW 701 to NW 731

Hello Experts,
We have system at NW 701 Now we need to upgrade NW to release 731.
We have installated components: ESS, MSS , LSO, E-Recruiting.
We have SAP ECC 6.0.
The applications ESS & MSS are using the BP 1.41 (Webdynpro Java)
Erecruiting use appplications Webdynpro ABAP.
LSO use applications BSP.
I am checking the following link:
http://wiki.scn.sap.com/wiki/display/ERPHCM/How+to+determine+the+correct+component+combination+in+ESS+WD+JAVA
My question is:
My applications ESS, MSS, ERC, LSO not will work if we update portal nw 701 to 731?
Thanks

Your old (600) WDJ components won't run on NW731. The newer (63x) WDJ components won't work together with your backend (600) version. You can have a separate NW701 AS JAVA to host the old WDJ components or else start migrating from WDJ to WDA.
