Dynamic creation of Views

Hi All,
I am new to web dynpro abap, I had a requirement that based on the user input I need to create views dynamically that is : if the user enters 3 I had to create three new views dynamically and like the same, also the UI elements of the view should be picked up based on the content of ztables dynamically as the entries in the ztables keep on changing.
Is that possible. If so any one please help me out with some procedures.
Thanks In avdvance,

Sriratna.

hi ,
Dynamic UI developement it possible .
This is link for dynamic programming blog.
<a href="/people/thomas.szcs/blog/2005/12/28/dynamic-programming-in-web-dynpro-abap--introduction-and-part-i-understanding-ui-elements programming</a>
<a href="http://Link 2">/people/thomas.szcs/blog/2006/01/03/dynamic-programming-in-web-dynpro-abap--part-ii-handling-viewelements
but in my view I will not suggest to go for dynamic programming if you want create large no. of UI elements over view and large no. of views .
Another thing is it is bit advanced concept in WD ABAP so as you are new to web Dynpro ABAP it self dont directly jump to it .
I had similar complex requirement where UI over other view was based on inputs given in initial view .It was possible to address it with dynamic programming but I have not went for that .
I made normal programming but gave feel like things are dynmic which was finally serving ultimate purpose .
Weather one should go / should not go for dynamic programming is decided based on Volume of UI elememts , Supply function and nodes needed .
I can suggest you alternatives but Please give details of it else mail me .

Dynamic creation of TabStrip

Hi,
I want to create a tabstrip dynamically.The tabstrip should have 3 tabs, and in each of the tabs i want to put some UI elements like a label, input field, dropdown, tables.........etc.
Im able to create the tabstrip and add tabs to it dynamically.
I've even created the UI elements which i wanted to put in the tabs.............But im not able to proceed as i dont know how to add the UI elements to the tabs.......
Can anyone tell me how to add UI elements to a tab in a tabstrip?
Regards,
Padmalatha.K
Points will be rewarded.

Hi,
Following code will help you to understand the dynamic creation and adding them
//Tabstrip
       IWDTabStrip tabStrip = view.createElement(IWDTabStrip.class);
       //Tab
       IWDTab tab = view.createElement(IWDTab.class);
       //Input Field
       IWDInputField inputField = view.createElement(IWDInputField.class);
       //Adding inputfield to tab
       tab.setContent(inputField);
       //Adding tab to tabstrip
       tabStrip.addTab(tab);
//Finally add this tabstip to either your root container or some other container.

Dynamic creation of ComponentUsage

Hi people,
I want to reuse a view (ViewA) in different views (ViewB, ViewC, ViewD).ViewA has a quite complex logic, so it is necessary to outsource this view. Not only the logic, but also the count of UIElements and contextelements is quite large, for this I don't want to implement this part redundant in the views A, C and D.
I have to use ViewA in a table in the TablePopin UIElement. Every line of the table should have its own instance of ViewA. Is that possible?
My idea is it, to put the view in an own component. For every tableline I need an instance of the componentUsage. My problem is now, that I'm not able to create at runtime a ComponentUsage and at designtime I don't know how many instances I need. Is it possible in webdynpro to create dynamic instances of ComponentUsage?
If you know an other way, that prevents me from implementing the view and its logic more times, please tell me!
Thanks in advance,
Thomas Morandell

Hi Thomas,
just for clarification. Principally it is possible in Web Dynpro to dynamically create new component usages of the same type like an existing, statically declared one. This means after having defined a component usage of type ISomeComp (component interface definition) you can dynamically create new component usages which all point to the same component interface definition ISomeComp:
wdThis.wdGetISomeCompUsage().createComponentUsageOfSameType();
But this dynamic creation approach implies, that you must also embed the component interface view of this component usage to the view composition dynamically; and this is (unfortunately) quite cumbersome and complicated based on the existing Web Dynpro Java API (it is not yet optimized for a simple dynamic view composition modification.
Additionally, like Valery pointed out, the dynamic creation of new component usages is not compatible with table popins.

Dynamic Creation of Buttons and Actions HELP

Hi there,
I have got a problem (or maybe even two) with the dynamic Creation of buttons. The code below creates the buttons.
My main problem is, that the parameter created for the button's action isn't propagated to the assigned event handler. I get a null, though the name of the parameter in the event handler and the name of the parameter added to the action are the same.
Could it also be that I'm always using the same action? I.e. does wdThis.wdGetAddElementAction() always return the same action instance? If yes, how can I create individual actions for each button?
Any help is appreciated!
Cheers,
Heiko
"    for(int i=rootContainer.getChildren().length; i<wdContext.nodeFeature().size();i++)
               IPrivateVCT_Feature.IFeatureElement featureElement = wdContext.nodeFeature().getFeatureElementAt(i);
               IWDTray featureTray = (IWDTray) view.createElement(IWDTray.class, featureElement.getName());
               IWDCaption header = (IWDCaption) view.createElement(IWDCaption.class, featureElement.getName()+"_Header");
               header.setText(featureElement.getName());

               actionAddElement.getActionParameters().addParameter("featureIndex", new Integer(i).toString());
               button.setOnAction(actionAddElement);
               button.setText("Add Element");
               featureTray.addChild(button);

Hi Heiko,
You have done everything correctly....except for 1 line
in the code...
Replace the following line in your code:
actionAddElement.getActionParameters().addParameter("featureIndex", new Integer(i).toString());
Replace the above line with this code:
button.mappingOfOnAction().addParameter("featureIndex",i);
Actually in your code, you are not associating the parameter with the button...
Note that addParameter(...) comes with two signatures: addParameter(String param, String value) and addParameter(String param, int value). You can use any of them based on yuor need.
Hope it helps,
Thanks and Regards,

Issues in persisting dynamic entity and view objects using MDS

Hi All,
I'm trying to create dynamic entity and view objects per user session and to persist these objects throughout the session, I'm trying to use MDS configurations(either file or Database) in adf-config.xml.
I'm facing following two errors while trying to run the app module:

Hi Frank,
I m trying to save entity and view object xml by calling writeXMLContents() and saveXMLContents() so that these objects can be retrieved using the xmls later on.
These methods internally use MDS configuration in adf-config.xml, which is creating the issue.
Please share your thoughts on resolving this or if, there is any other way of creating dynamic entity/view objects for db tables created at runtime.

Set viewset dynamically as standard view in a window

Hello collegues,
I want to Display a certain view ("view 1") in an overview page of another component.
"View 1" is in "Viewset 1".
"Window 1" has two viewsets:
"Viewset 2", marked as Standard.
"Viewset 1", not marked as Standard.
"Window 1" is in the component Interface aso.
When I add "Window 1" to the overview page of my component, then "Viewset 2" is shown, not "Viewset 1".
How can I set "Viewset 1" dynamically as Standard view in "Window 1" so that "View 1" is shown in my overview page?
Best regards,
Thomas

hi,
In Overview page IMPL Claz you will find the method " DETACH_STATIC_OVW_VIEWS ".
redefine that method and use the following piece of code,
mt_detached_views of type BSP_DLC_OVW_STAT_VIEW_ATTACH_T declare as a Global variable in IMPL claz
DATA:it_svs TYPE bsp_dlc_ovw_dyn_views_list_t,
wa_svs TYPE bsp_dlc_ovw_dyn_views_list,
wa_det TYPE bsp_dlc_ovw_stat_view_attach.
*/ Getting the list of Views of a OV page....
it_svs = me->get_list_of_static_views( ).
READ TABLE it_svs INTO wa_svs WITH KEY viewid = 'VIEWSET2'.
wa_det-viewid = wa_svs-viewid.
APPEND wa_det TO mt_detached_views.
CLEAR wa_det.
rt_viewid = mt_detached_views.
hope this might be helpful,

Creation of view on single table?

Hi Team,
I have a requirement like for creaation of view on single table (QMEL) in SAP ECC side...
Note: in this table i need 2o fields only....not all fields.
First can we create view on single table?
if 'Yes' can any one tell , How we can creat view on single table?
While creation of view we have four options..
1)Data base view
2)Projection View
3)Maintanace view
4)Help view
in these four options which tyep of view we can choose for creation?
please can any one suggest me and do the need full..
i am waiting your responce...

I quickly skimmed the links provided by others; and in my short discussions with DBA friend of mine; and other sources... partition should be based on user needs, sql server resources, and partition maintenance time.
Lets say you have 50 regions and 1) partition the data by region, AND 2) place each partition on a different disk, and 3) i am in Texas and only query data in the Texas region then performance will be increased because I am not scanning through the other
49 regions.
If you have temporal data (dependent on time - like say financial reports that are sent to the SEC) - the partitions are by time: 1) data from last 13 months is stored on SSD, 2) data 13 months - 3 years old is on HDD, and 3) data >3 years old is stored
on compressed HDD. (i say 13 months so you have an entire year and month to date) --- accountants can get the current data VERY quickly, project managers who need to see a 3 year trend will not have to wait long, and when the SEC calls, who cares?,
the reports can be queued and generated at night when no one is working.
I see partitions are giving the users the least amount of data to query which speeds their results.

Hi Sree,
In your view.htm are you using the code to get the configuration?
Example:
<%@page language="abap"%><%@ extension name="htmlb" prefix="htmlb"%><%@ extension name="xhtmlb" prefix="xhtmlb"%><%@ extension name="crm_bsp_ic" prefix="crmic"%><%@ extension name="bsp" prefix="bsp"%>

Dynamic embedding of view in used component

Hi All,
I have a scenario were i have to provide print functionality to all the views of an existing web dynpro component. This component has around 20 views. I have developed a new component for the print functionality were i am using BSP to fire the CTRL+P function.
But the problem is how do i get the view at runtime in my print component.....?
I tried passing the view controller reference to the print component through context binding, but i am unable to embed the view through the reference in to the print component view container element.
Is there any way i can acheive this....???
Any help will be appreciated..!

I wud suggest u to procced like this :
1 In design time , insert all ur views inside ur tansparent container
2 * initially set all ur view to invisible* , for this :
Re: Making UI elements visible at runtime based on events.
a) make a context attribute of type WDUI_VISIBILITY
b) bind this attribute wid ur view
c) set the view to invisible by setting the context attribute to '01' using set_attribute method
   DATA lo_nd_cn_visiblesuper TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node.
    DATA lo_el_cn_visiblesuper TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_element.
    DATA ls_cn_visiblesuper TYPE wd_this->element_cn_visiblesuper.
    DATA lv_ca_visible LIKE ls_cn_visiblesuper-ca_visible.

Dynamic Creation of UI in adobe forms??

Hi Experts,
I need to create a dynamic interactive form and dynamic UI elements in the interactive form.
As per my requirement I need to display a pdf and I will be getting values from the RFC's. I need to show the form segments and the UI elements only when there's a data from the RFC else not. I am unable to understand whether this requirement needs generation of the UI elements dynamically or I can do it statically as well.
The form thus generated will be having data from the RFC which based on the data quantity may exceed to n number of pages.
In case it needs dynamic creation can you suggest me please how to achive it in interactive forms?
Helpful answers will be appreciated.
Warm Regards,
Gaurav

Hi,
subForm1:-
Flow content
Allow page breaks
Place: following previous-----> This means when you are repeating the subform the previous one should be followed.
Say you have a table and have 3 columns in it.
After 1st column is completed, the next column should come with 1st comun
After: Continue filling parent--->Continously fill the data with the parent element
Repeat sub form min count is 1 : Minimum of 1 line item will be printed
Height: Expand to fit is true.: If the field height is increased it automatically expands.
For help in Adobe Press F1 or Goto Help--> Adobe Designer Help in Adobe Designer
After installing Adobe Designer, goto the specific folder
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Designer 8.0\EN you can get sample documents.
For help press F1 after opening designer.
Sub Form1: Content--> Flowed, Flow direction --> Top to bottom
Binding --> Check the checkbox Repeat Subform for each data item
Subform 2: Content --> Positioned, No pagination No binding settings changes needed.
Hey i forgot to mention the Header Subform where you create all these subforms should be flowed.
Try it once like this and lte us know

Dynamic creation of date in selection variant

Hi All,
I have a Z program for updating a field in BOM item. One of the input field in the report is "Valid From Date". Actually the current date is automatically fetched through a function module and it is defaulted in that field.
Our client is using selection variant for ease of use. The problem here is old date in the selection variant is replacing the current date. I want current date to be created automatically during insertion of variant also. How can i solve this problem. Is there any selection variable inside the variant for dynamic creation of Date?
Thanks
Sankar

As I know there is no setting for this. For any std or Z report variant function with L should act same way...anyway you discuss with your ADABer.
See the help for variables
Selection Variables
The following three types of selection variables are currently
    supported:
o   Table variables from TVARV
        You should use these variables if you want to store static
        information. TVARV variables are proposed by default.
o   Dynamic date calculations:
        To use these variables, the corresponding selection field must have
        type 'D' (date). If the system has to convert from type T to type D
        when you select the selection variables, the VARIABLE NAME field is
        no longer ready for input. Instead, you can only set values using
        the input help.
        The system currently supports the following dynamic date
        calculations:
        Today's date
       From beginning of the month to today
       Today's date +/- x days
       First quarter ????
       Second quarter ????
       Third quarter ????
       Fourth quarter ????
       Today's date - xxx, today's date + yyy
       Previous month
o   User-specific variables
       Prerequisite: The selection field must have been defined in the
       program using the MEMORY ID pid addition. User-specific values,
       which can be created either from the selection screen or from the
       user maintenance transaction, are placed in the corresponding
       selection fields when the user runs the program.
The SELECTION OPTIONS button is only supported for date variables that
   fill select-options fields with single values.
i.e means we can do that with D also.

Static vs Dynamic difference when viewing in Acrobat 9

With ES2 or ES4, saving output as a static pdf results in the following when previewing and when viewing in Acrobat 9.4.5:
When viewing in Reader X or XI, or when saving as a dynamic pdf and viewing in Acrobat 9.4.5, the output is as expected:
One obvious solution is to upgrade everyone to Acrobat X+, but that's not an option for the enterprise. Is there scripting I could add or a registry fix or some other alternative to hiding these annotation sequence numbers (or whatever they're referred to) in the static pdf, as the EDMS delivering this pdf to the end-users cannot currently handle XFA-enabled PDFs and so it must be static?
My suspicion is this is more of an Acrobat 9.4.5 issue than an LC issue, but I have researched extensively and cannot find a resolution.

The "annotation sequence numbers" are probably referring to the "Tab Order". You can access and modify the "Tab Order" from Designer; Go to the "Window" option and click on "Tab Order". For ES4 it's between "Data View" and "Object Library". Under "Tab Order", there's a button that should either be displayed as "Show Order" or "Hide Order". Clicking on that button will toggle between the two choices. I am assuming that if you click to make it "Hide Order" that your numbers will disappear.

Say i want to use the fpm GAF with a single webdynpro component. I have 3 steps, first step display a dropdown list for user to choose, second step will be a view that will depend on user input on the first step and 3rd step just a confirmation screen.
I plan to use UIBB for all the screen, not using the GUIBB. So i will need to dynamically decide which view to show on step 2, and since we don't call navigation plug when we use fpm, what is the best way to archive this? How do i design my webdynpro component and the fpm configuration etc...?
I read from the programming guide about initial screen and variant. But what if my application doesn't need an initial screen and the user choosing step is not at the first step, I can't use variant in this case right?
thanks.

Hi
You can give the dropdown on initial screen and than u can decide which screen to show on the second (or infact that will we the first step you you have first step as a initial screen.
How?? :
1. Create different varients for the second step.
2. Basis on the Value choosen in the dropdown list, select the appropriate varient using the following code.
TRY.
        CALL METHOD io_gaf->set_variant
          EXPORTING
            iv_variant_id = 'VAR_CLIENT'.
      CATCH cx_fpm_floorplan .
    ENDTRY.
where VAR_CLIENT is your varient.
Hope this will help you.
Thanks & Regards,
Arvind
