Data Maintenance Web Dynpro ABAP versus Classic ABAP

I am working on a project where I will have to create a couple of custom master data tables. In classic SAP it is very easy to create standard table maintenance screens for master data via transaction SE54 where you can assign an authorization group for security purposes if necessary. Although we very much like Web Dynpro ABAP development, I cannot find an easy way to create the same userfriendly table maintenance screens as we know them in classic SAP.
That's why I am a bit in doubt: on the one hand we want the web look and feel, but on the other hand creating the maintenance functionality in classic sap is very simple and straight forward. Whatever the solution will be, classic or not, it will become part of a portal someday. I know both solutions can be linked to a portal so that's no decision maker in our case.
Does somebody have any idea if there is something available for generating standard data maintenance screens in Web Dynpro ABAP without the need for a lot of additional coding? Basically I am looking for a web dynpro replacement for transaction SE54.
Looking forward to your thoughs!!
kind regards

Hi Angelique Heutinck ,
Webdynpro abap is a screen design interface, as module pool, in module pool development we can only desigh screens, similarly in wda is also intented to design screen that are web enabled,
while in classical abap we have the povision to call a transaction from a screen, while in wda, we have the provision to call another screen or view, but not a transaction.
unfortunately we cant embedd a tranction inside a wda development, so the only provision to simulate SE54 in wda is to create screens manually.

Question about meta-data of Web Dynpro ABAP / Web Dynpro Java

Hello together,
everywhere I can read, that Web Dynpro meta-data is platform independent.
I´ve read into a book, that the meta-data of Web Dynpro Java is saved as XML and
that Web-Dynpro Java Runtime generates runnable classes and sourcecode out of this...
- What about Web-Dynpro ABAP? Is Meta-code in ABAP is saved in XML too?
- just for theory: is ist possible to take the meta-data of a Web-Dynpro ABAP component and
generate a Web-Dynpro Java Component out of this?
I tried to find it out but i failed... In table WDR_RR_LOAD (is this the right one?) I found only the
field data. But this is a RAWSTRING and I don´t know how to make I "readable".
I must know this for my thesis for my studies, not for work.
Thank you very much !!!!
Greetings,
Oliver

Me again,
I am not sure if I understood it right...
The meta-data which describes the visual part of a view is saved as XML and
would be rendered i.e. in the webbrowser... Right?
What about the meta-data of the Web Dynpro application?
Is this meta-code into an other structure or XML too?
Thank you very much.
Many Greetings,
Oliver

if you want to see date calender help in your view, you have to add an input field in the view and bind it with a context attribute of type dats.

How to pass the data from web dynpro to workflow.

hi gurus,
how to pass the data from web dynpro to workflow.

vijay

Hi
you can use function module
data   ls_input_container TYPE swr_cont.
data   lt_input_container TYPE TABLE OF swr_cont.
CALL FUNCTION 'SAP_WAPI_START_WORKFLOW'
    EXPORTING
      task            = ptask
    IMPORTING
      return_code     = lv_return_code
      new_status      = lv_new_status
    TABLES
      input_container = pinput_container
      message_lines   = lt_message_lines
      message_struct = lt_message_struct.
where you pass the data in imnternal table "pinput_container" as
ls_input_container-element = 'KUNNR'.
ls_input_container-value = ls_skna1-kunnr ."wd_this->lv_kunnr.
APPEND ls_input_container TO lt_input_container .
ls_input_container-element = 'CLUSER'.
ls_input_container-value = lv_cluser.
APPEND ls_input_container TO lt_input_container .
ls_input_container-element = 'BUKRS'.
ls_input_container-value = lv_bukrs. " youe value as per requirement.
APPEND ls_input_container TO lt_input_container .
ls_input_container-element = 'VKORG'.
ls_input_container-value = ls_sknvv-vkorg. " youe value as per requirement
APPEND ls_input_container TO lt_input_container .
ls_input_container-element = 'VTWEG'.
ls_input_container-value = ls_sknvv-vtweg. "youe value as per requirement.
APPEND ls_input_container TO lt_input_container .
ls_input_container-element = 'SPART'.
ls_input_container-value = ls_sknvv-spart. "youe value as per requirement.
APPEND ls_input_container TO lt_input_container .
*Also Forgot to mention where ptask is your workflow ID *

Adobe form to save data using Web Dynpro ABAP

Hi. I am pretty new to SAP world and trying to learn and work on a task given to me relate to
creating Adobe offline form using Web Dynpro ABAP same time.
I have several questions and hopefully, many gurus like you will provide answers.
I noticed there are many examples creating and using Adobe interactive forms (though not many newer version),
but I didn't see (at least I didn't find any) any detail example on saving data to an internal table (such as fixed assets, vendor master, etc)
using interactive form. Is there any detail explanation/example on this?
I have ask this question in another forum (before I found this forum) but didnu2019t get the answer yet.
2. When I tried to see graphic layout and modify the layout from Web Dynpro, I can't see the graphic layout.
All I see is text list of fields/buttons that I created, but can't see section for graphic layout where I can modify layout.
I am sure I didn't install/configure something correctly.
Anyone has any idea what I didn't do?
I have another question, but I will wait till later after I figure out above ones first.
Thanks for all your help in advance.
John

Hi John,
In the WD4A view, there is a button "Show/Hide Layout Preview".
Click on that button to be able to see the Layout.
Note that this button is next to the Pretty Print button.

How to add button ui element in alv table data in web Dynpro ABAP

Hi Experts,
I have one requirement,

when i select that button need to display some data.
same requirement i need to devlope in alv table.

Subba Reddy.

Hi,
You can create Button in your ALV table column with below code
DATA lo_button              TYPE REF TO cl_salv_wd_uie_button.
CREATE OBJECT lo_button.
    CALL METHOD lv_value->if_salv_wd_column_settings~get_column
      EXPORTING
        id    = <your column name>
      RECEIVING
        value = lo_system_select_hdr.
    lo_button->set_enabled( value = abap_true ).
   lo_button->set_text( value = 'Avaliable List' ).
    lo_button->set_tooltip( value = 'Avaliable List' ).
    lo_system_select_hdr->set_cell_editor( value = lo_button ).
And for button click action,
Create a method (say SHOW_DATA( ) ) with on_click event handler.And when you click button on your ALV table, SHOW_DATA( ) method will trigger.
Thanks

Modify SAP data using Web Dynpro for ABAP

Experts,
I have a question. We all have working in web Dynpro to create report.
I was trying to display the data in table and update the data.
When I click on Save button the data should be saved in the SAP table.
SAP table may be standard or user-defined table.
Any idea of how to do it???
Answers will b rewarded.
Thanks in Advance
Edited by: Router on Mar 11, 2008 12:06 PM

Hi,
The solution to this is very similar to the reports that we write.
1. Create a context node from the dictionary element in the view of the webdynpro component.
2. Now you may be displaying/editing this data in the form of a table in the view layout. For this create a table in the layout and bind the fields of the context to the node you created from the dictionary table in the context.
3. In the layout you also want to have a button SAVE. on the event of this button. Write the code from code wizard where in
a. Read the context of the dictionary table from the context.
b. call method
CALL METHOD lo_nd_group->get_elements
RECEIVING
set = lt_ddictable.
c. update the database table using the internal table lt_ddictable.
Hope you find this helpul.

Problem with Web Dynpro Theme in 2004s ABAP Sneak Preview

Hi !
Working on the Web Dynpro for ABAP 2004s Sneak Preview
I encountered a problem in applying a web Dynpro theme
via the URL-parameter sap-cssurl.
I tried the following URL:
http://hostname:8000/sap/bc/webdynpro/sap/webdynproapp?sap-cssurl=http://hostname:8000/sap/public/bc/ur/nw5/themes/sap_hcb
But it didn't work ?!
Could anybody tell me what went wrong ?
Thanks in advance,
Frank

Hi Frank,
Try this
1. Set all dynpro's to run with portal theme whether you run them inside/outside portal.
For this, run visual administrator -> server -> configuration adapter -> (change mode) -> webdynpro -> sap.com -> tcwddispwda -> Propertysheet.default
set the parameter sap.theme.default to your portal theme path: we've theme CustomerTheme (portal is nw04sr1 sp14) and theme url is as follow:
/irj/portalapps/com.sap.portaldesign.urdesigndata/themes/portal/CustomerTheme
2. call individual application with parameter to use portal theme as follow:
http://<portal hostname with domain>:<port>/webdynpro/dispatcher/local/WD_Project/Applname?sap-cssurl=http://<portal hostname with domain>:<port>/irj/portalapps/com.sap.portal.design.urdesigndata/themes/portal/CompanyTheme
Hope it helps...

How to store text field data from web dynpro application in pcd ?

Hi Forum,
I am new to web Dynpro.
I want to store user specific data (a text field value) from a wd application in PCD and access it every time the user runs the application.How can I achieve this?
Thanks,
Mickey.

Hi
I created the "read" and "update" methods in my application service. How can I call them? I created and implemented the methods just like here: https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/340fc0ea-0c01-0010-74bf-965b11031e77
Operations:
- readMyEntityService:
- updateMyEntityService
Implementation:
retValue = getMyEntityService().read(key);
getMyEntityService().update(dS0);
In Web Dynpro there is this update method with the code above (in my original post).
How can I call the update-method????????
Kind regards

Display data in Web DynPro table from database via EJB

I have a JavaBeans model which has a method populateDataToTable()to retrieve data from database via Session bean (calling entity bean, returning ArrayList of data) and the data needed to be display in the Web DynPro table.
User Interface (Web DynPro) <-> JavaBeans Model <-> Busineess Logic (session bean) <-> Persistence (Entity Bean)<-> DB table.
The context bindiing and table part is ok. How do i load the data to the table ? what the coding to put in wdDoInit() ?
Any help would be appreciated.

in wdinit(),
Collection col = new ArrayList();
try{
MyCommandBean bean = new MyCommandBean();
col = bean.getDataFromDbViaEJB();
wdContext.nodeMyCommandBean().bind(col);
} catch (Exception ex) {
   ex.printStackTrace(ex);
in your JavaBean model class, MyCommandBean getDatafromDbViaEJB() method:
Collection col = new ArrayList();
Collection newcol = new ArrayList();
//include your own context initialization etc...
col = local.getDataViaSessionBean(param);
// if your returned result also a bean class, reassigned it to current MyCommandBean
for (Iterator iterator = col.iterator(); iterator.hasNext();) {
    MyOtherBean otherBean=(MyOtherBean)iterator.next();
    MyCommmandBean bean = new MyCommandBean();
    bean.attribute1 = outBean.getAttirbute1();
    // get other attibutes
    newcol.add(bean);
return newcol;

BI data in Web Dynpro

HI ,
i would like to retrieve the data of a BW report
<server>/sap/bw/BEx?cmd=ldoc&template_id=Z_SUCCESS_FAILURE&sap-language=EN
How do I access the data? Do I need the BI SDK or is there another possibility ?
Does anybody has documents available for BI connections ?
Thanks,
Kai

Hi Kai,
   You can access a BI query, get its results, manipulate it and then display all through weddynpro. But you will need BI Java SDK for that.
   As for your question, I think you mean to retrieve the results of a query not a BW report.
   For documentations on BI Java SDK, open your NWDS IDE, click Help->SAP Web AS Documentation->SAP Web Dynpro Applications. When the help window appears, type in "BI Java SDK" in the search box on the top. You will get a whole list of documentations.

Satyajit.

Print table data in Web Dynpro

Hi all,
I've seen that this topic was already discussed a lot in this forum. We need a print button in our Web Dynpro, when it is pushed all table data will be printed.
Therefore my question is: Has anyone already implemented a working solution for this? What are the basic steps of your solution?
Your answer is appreciated.
Thanks, Carmen

Timezones and dates in Web Dynpro

Hello all,
We have a web dynpro application and it seems to be showing different dates for different users in our application. I am trying to figure out how web dynpro determines which locale to use (or timezone) when displaying. We are exposing the WD through EP 6.0 SP2, but I do not think there are any locale specific settings there. The only thing I can think it is doing is for users that do not have a timezone specified it is using UTC instead of the system timezone. Does anyone know definitevely what WD uses to display dates? Also, is there a way we can force all dates shown in WD to show in a particular timezone (i.e. PST)?
Help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Dustin Gronso

Hi Dustin,
You can show the time in a specific timezone using the following code :
TimeZone zone = TimeZone.getTimeZone(("PST");
DateFormat dateFormat = DateFormat.getDateTimeInstance();
dateFormat.setTimeZone(zone);
String time = dateFormat.format(Calendar.getInstance().getTime());
Hope this helps,
Best Regards,
Nibu.
