Dialog programming (non-web based)

We have been running SAP for a number of years and have a number of custom tables and custom ABAP report programs. At this point we use spreadsheet uploads and sm30 to maintain our custom tables. We are now looking at getting into Dialog programming, we will be running these dialog programs with in the SAP GUI not over the internet.
Most of the web sites I have found for dialog programming in ABAP are talking about Web dynpro. Can anyone tell me if there is a difference between Web dynpro and non-web dialog programming?
Thanks,
Jerry

Thanks for the replies this is what I thought.
It is being suggested that we can write a dialog using Web dynpro and have it display and act exactly the same over the internet and within the GUI. So that the user experience is the same no matter which method they use.
This sounds logical to me.
When I read the link I clicked on the dynpro link and then went to up 2 levels to the u2018SAP GUI Technologyu2019 page and found the following:
Although screen programming permits, in principle, the use of the model-view-controller approach, this is not explicitly supported by the Framework or the existing tools. There is therefore a significant mixing of presentation and application logic within a program in most screen-based applications. To achieve better maintainability, you should therefore structure the user interfaces of new ABAP-based applications with Web << OLE Object: Picture (Metafile) >> Dynpro ABAP, even if no use of the Internet is currently intended.
This would imply that that using web dynpro you can create a dialog that looks and acts the same over the internet and within the GUI.
We found a Blog with the title Web Dynpro: Running Web Dynpro Applications over SAPGUI that makes reference to the function module WDY_EXECUTE_IN_PLACE, with a parameter INTERNALMODE = u2018Xu2019 that will allow the screen to be displayed in the SAP GUI.
Then I was directed to SAP NOTE 1098009 which says:
· No SAP GUI support
The use of Web Dynpro ABAP applications inside SAP GUI is not supported due to technical restrictions which may inhibit the correct behavior of applications under some circumstances.
· No support for SAP GUI dynpros
Note that in an input help which is called by Web Dynpro ABAP classic SAP GUI based dynpros are not supported. From NetWeaver 7.0 SP12 onwards there is no longer a program dump, but a message is displayed accordingly, so that the application can be continued.
There seems to be conflicting information out there. Does anyone have any experience with this? Can you please point me to some documentation that will explain if this is possible or not.
Thanks,
Jerry

Identity SSO API with non-web based appilcations

hi,
i can appreciate hwo this works with cookies etc for web based applications that use the api or one of the agents on apache etc.
but how does it go with non web based java and say windows applications?
can anyone point me to some docs?
thanks

I don't work for Sun but here are my thoughts
1. Yes, if you don't want to use the AM SDK then the
XML auth service is the way to go.
2 & 3. dunno
4. I think if you pass around the SSOToken ID
generated by AM then any application can issue a SAML
query to see if the session is still valid and get
identity/auth attributes back
5. I think SAML 2.0 supports authentication and
single signoff
6. If you are doing a lot of thick client apps you
should use kerberos instead of AM web based
Authentication. AM supports kerberos authentication,
most modern browsers support SPEGNO for passing
credentials to web server, AD supports Kerberos, and
even Solaris 10 comes with a free KDC built into the
OS. There is plenty of documentation around kerberos
and the JDK out of the box supports GSS-API for
Kerberos authenticationThank you for your feedback.
We looked at the use of kerberos as well, but this is not really an option as we are dealing with fat clients installed on desktops of clients. So these desktops do not fall within our span control (multiple domain controllers etc.).

Non web-based to-do list

I don't have wireless access to the internet all of the time yet would still like to be able to manage a to-do list on my ipod touch. Any suggestions? All of the apps online seem to be web-based.

Create a dummy contact and put your to do list in the notes section. Or wait until after February (when the Software Development Kit will be released) and see if anyone comes out with a non-web based To Do app.
Personally, I go with the small paper notebook....

Non web-based content in portal

Hi all,
Is it possible to run ordrinary windows-applications with a GUI-screen, for example MS Outlook, in or from within the portal?
If yes: Where can I find out more?
Regards,
Sturla

Hi Jørgen,
Thanks for the reply.
I don't know much about the portal, but I attended a couple of cources last fall. Never used the product since then, and I can't remember too much form the cources. My boss keeps asking me questions about the portal, and lucky me told him that I beleived the content had to be web based, like for example Outlook Web Access. He wasn't pleased with my answer, so I keep seraching...
I came over Citrix MetaFrame Presentation Server . Maybe that coud be the solution(?)

Migrating stand alone programs to web based application

Hi,
I have a small application consisting of .class files. I created these using Swing components and it's based on Client/ server model where it accesses Oracle Database.
I want to deploy these programs in Java App Server so that it can be accessed thru web browser.
Please tell me how to do it.
Thanks in advance.

If this was the thing, Sun, Microsoft and IBM
wouldn't have even giving a thought of migrating
legacy application (I'm talking about Mainframes and
AS/400 here). If this kind of migration is possible,
can't we migrate a java code from stand-alone
"version" to web enabled.
Migration is not really a term to use to for converting a stand alone application to a web application. Unless of course again you are prepared to turn it into an applet.
The flow and control of a web application are entirely different from a stand alone app. You will not be able to reuse Swing GUI's from a web server. I don't know how to make that any clearer.
Hopefully you have a good design for your existing application and you can relatively easily reuse your existing business logic components.

Calling windows dialog box in web based Forms6i application

Hi !!
I have develop a form in form6i. On pressing a button(on the form) windows OPEN FILE dialog box appears,from this user choose the required file.
I m using the GET_FILE_NAME built in for this purpose and it is working in client server mod.
The problem is it does not work when I post the form on web or run it in web.

This will not work on the web. If you want to present the use with a file dialog box this will have to be done using a java bean.

Printer skips lines and enlarges font between web based pages.

'''bold text'''HP c7200 printer connected wirelessly to MacBookPro w/Lion. Using Firefox 9.0.1 browser. Printer prints first page just fine and then starts second page by skipping several lines and printing in larger font. PC also connected to same printer, and printer works OK. Safari works OK, too. Solutions would be appreciated.
Problem began prior to upgrading to Mac Lion. Lion has updated printer driver. Same problem. Only occurs when trying to print a web page or something downloaded from a web page, such as a financial spreadsheet. Non-web-based documents print OK. Help. Thanks.

I've seen this happen when the Page Setup on the FireFox browser was set to 80% (or probably anything less than 100%). Check that setting and change to 100% and reprint.

How can I add a different web-based email program to use as my default 'mailto:' function?

When I go to Settings -> Applications and click on 'mailto', I see 'Use Yahoo mail, Use Gmail, and Use other...'. I want to use the Go Daddy Workspace Webmail application, which like Yahoo & Gmail, is a web based program, but don't see any way to add that option. The 'Use other...' option is only looking for an executable file and it won't accept a web-based command.

I found an old thread about the same type of issue. I cannot be certain whether it still works or not. Feel free to checkout the thread [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/917427 here].

Making a screen in module pool program web based

I have developed a module pool program with screens and flow logic. I want to make that application web based. Is there any option to make it web based or I have to write the fresh application in bsp. Please suggest

Sucheta,
You unfortuantely need to re-write that application as BSP. If you separated your business logic from the screen logic, then all you will need to do is rewrite the screen logic and not the whole application.
Take care,
Stephen

Our software vendor tells to use FF 3.5.1. because of some printer issues with their web based program. How safe is it to work with FF 3.5.1 in 2012?

If any one knows please let me know.
my email id: [email protected]
Thanks and Regards,
Sarat

Dear sarat,
First of all u tell me why u want to develop web based mail like yahoo or hotmail, If u want to develop for learning purpose then start from today using java mail API. So u should know Java Mail API. and some webbase scripting like JSP and HTML.
Once u start and if any problem then write in forum we will solve.
If u don't want to develop for learning purpose then u buy it.

Web-based mail program as default for emailing photos?

I'd prefer to use my gmail account to send photos, rather than my Mail account. But the options are only for Mail, Entourage, and AOL, I think.
I can't seem to figure out how to do this any other way than from gmail, click "attach a file" and browse through my directories and select each individual photo. This would be fine, except that the attachments are enormous and I can't figure out how to resize them to a manageable size.
So, to summarize. Is it possible to use a web-based mail program as your iphoto default? If not, how can I shrink the size down to 240X320 or 640X480, or somewhere in that range?
I'm using iphoto 4.0.3. Thanks.

There are programs that allow you to designate a web mail page for the default email program (WebMailer for one). I would guess they should work the same jumping from iPhoto, but don't know how well they'd work at attaching an image since that is usually a process specific to how the page is designed.
Probably, it'd be easiest to leave Mail as the default email app with Gmail set as the default account, for situations like this, and use the regular webmail interface when you're not planning to attach an image if you like that interface more.

Trouble loading a web-based program (7100i)

My company is starting to use a new web-based timeclock program. Prior to launching to my engineers who will have to occasionally access it to clock in/out I was trying to give it a trial run and I keep running into a problem.
Using the Blackberry I entered the web-address in and the login page loads perfectly then after entering in the login credentials & clicking the trackwheel the screen shows that the phone is requesting the information and then shows on the bottom of the screen that it is loading but then the screen comes back to the login screen. My login credentials are still listed but nothing else ever comes up. I have tried configuring the browser (Blackberry browser). I even changed the emulation mode from Blackberry to Microsoft IE which helped a little because it appears another page/screen loaded up I do not see the link/button needed for one to clock in/out.
Unfornately, I hardly ever use the internet on my Blackberry so I am not sure what could be causing this. Can someone help me out?
FYI - I am on a company BES server.
Thank you in advance, D~

it depends how the page is designed. try checking all options present under browser config for java, style sheets etc and general properties as well.
