Embedded POWL / FPM

Hi All,
i have embedded a BOWL into a WD-component and use this component in a FPM variant. The FPM Configuration has tow variants.
Problem.
when switching between the two variants the POWL loses the query that was previously selected.
Question:
Is there a parameter that allows me to set or force a specific query?
Release information:
Software component   Release   Level
SAP_ABA                   701          0008
SAP_BASIS                   701         0008
Thanks a lot,
Fouad

John,
Sorry, but I have no answer for your question but:
"I know it is possible to embed a POWL APP in an FPM and also use a POWL feeder inside a GUIBB List. Embedding a tab, form or list into the POWL details only makes sense."
Hm, this is my problem. Need to embed a POWL within an FPM application. But as Chris Paine points out here ([Integrate POWL into OIF (Object Instance Floorplan) |Integrate POWL into OIF (Object Instance Floorplan);) this is not possible.
I have managed so far that the POWL is looking OK and I can get an LTA event in the feeder class method IF_POWL_FEEDER~HANDLE_ACTION. But when I trigger the FPM event handler there is nothing happening in the shared FPM component controller method PROCESS_EVENT that I am using. Oh my.
Have you seen such an example? When I read your question I get this feeling but maybe I misunderstood. I am on EhP4 by the way so that should be OK I guess.
<-- Oh come on now, naughty naughty. -->
Chris Paine? Thomas Jung? Anyone?

Close Browser Window with view button element when view embedded into fpm

Hi,
is it possible to build a button into a component view which is embedded into a fpm to close the browser window?
tried to build a exit plug within the view/window of my component. But nothing happened. the window stays open
Maybe is it an option to fire the fpm close plug of the fpm from my component view embedded into the fpm?
Hope you can help me.
Using the close button of the fpm is not an option because the window should automaticaly close when clicking on a button embedded into my component view.
Kind Regards
Rico

Hello,
one more question.
Is it possible to change the method. so that the fpm opens within the same browser window instead of a new one?
Maybe is there a solution with the portal?

Calling FPM application from another FPM application

Hello Experts,
I've created 2 FPM configurations, one displays the list of POs created by the user through a List UIBB and the other displays the Header and Item of the PO when selected.
Scenario is that when I should click on the PO (which is a link) in my 1st application, I need to pas the PO number and some other details to my 2nd application and display the PO header and Item. My all Config is purely UIBB based and I'm not using webdynpro at all for designing any views, everything is designed using FPM UIBBs and feeder classes only.
what I need to know is:-
1) how can I pass the data between 2 different FPM applications?
2) how to call and display my 2nd Application on the same page when I click on the link of 1st application? I need the BACK functionality as well.
3) how to get the data into my 2nd application from 1st application?
Plz suggest.
Best Regards
Jitin Kharbanda

Jitin,
The best option in your case would be to open a new browser window with the second application and pass an URL parameter along with the document number.
Then you can read the URL parameter in the second application. Please see Re: Determining Edit/Display Mode from Within Freestyle Component how this can be achieved.
Embedding another FPM application into an already opened FPM application (e.g. by embedding a freestyle UIBB and loading the second FPM application from there) won't work as the FPM runtime will cause a dump saying that two instances ofthe FPM are not allowed.
If you MUST embedd your second application into the first one, the only chance that comes to my mind is the merge the configurations of both applications and pass the data via singleton / wires / events. Please see Data exchange possibilities in Floorplan Manager

Automatic Refresh of Purchase Order Worklist (POWL) needed

Hi,
We are running SRM6.0 on EP7 SP14 Portal.
After saving (hold) a newly-created shopping cart, the user must manually click "Refresh" to see the new shopping cart inside the Purchase Order Worklist (POWL). Most casual users do not anicipate needing to do this Refresh. They don't see the new cart, and they many times create a second duplicate cart.
Shopping carts are created in a popup window above the POWL, and apparently there is no communcation back to the POWL to automatically refresh upon adding a new shopping cart.
Is there a way to configure/change SRM6.0 such that it automatically invokes the POWL Refresh action after create a shopping cart?
Thanks
Kevin

Hi
Just try this
A. IF You have launched the shopping card POP-up from the WD which embeds POWL using POWL_FOLLOW_UP
1 Add a public attribute in the component controller l_refresh_needed.
2 When you create a shopping cart in pop-up you set the flag
l_refresh_needed = abap_true.
3 Now you must be having an outbound plug to POWL let's say plug1 from your WD view. You write a code in DOMODIFYView or DOAFTERACTION of the view which has the outbound plg.
You need to check the flag l_refresh_needed and fire the same navigation plug plug1 to POWL with refreshq = 'X'.
B. If you have launched the POP-up from the detail component of the POWL,
then you must fire the event do_refresh which you get when you implement POWL_DETAIL_COMP_IF.
but before firing do_refresh you have to clear the messages from the message manager and after refresh trigger you can again put the messages back into the message manager of WD.
Let me know if it helps.

How to create POWL Application ?

Hi,
Can you please explain me the steps for creating POWL application ?
I know the Help link http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005/helpdata/en/44/36ca0563df660ee10000000a1553f6/frameset.htm
But this is not so clear, If any body can explain any one example from the scratch how to create a New POWL Application would be really helpful for me.
Thanks,
Venkat

Hi,
Steps to create a POWL.
1) Create a feeder class .
already existing feeder class can we used for reference
CL_POWL_DEMO_SFIGHT.
2) CREATE a application id
3) Create a POWL Type and register it with powl_type transaction.
4) Create a query and register with application id with powl_query transaction.
5) Now the question is it a embedded powl or standalone.
6) If standard, in powl_ui_comp wd component run it,
in url add a parameter applid = application id you created.
Best regards,
Rohit

Issue during drag and drop in vb

Hi Uwe,
I want an urgent help on the following scenario.
When i do a drag and drop anywhere on vb other than a link or spot.The screen freezes and when i try to do at lead selection on any of the FPM objects at the same time I get an assert condition violated dump.After my analysis I think its still possess the drop event when i try to do any other action on fpm at same time.This issue is happening for me in ie11 but for ie10 its working fine.
Please suggest some remedy!
Thanks
Siju

Hello Siju,
I am aware of multiple issues with drag and drop in the context of VB embedded in FPM/WD. In order to sort this out correctly and get the right solution I suggest to open a support ticket on BC-WD-CMP-FPM.
Best regards,
Uwe

FPM embedded in POWL feeder detail component

Hi there
Been searching around for an example of FPM config being embedded in the POWL detail component (POWL_DETAIL_COMP_IF) and cant seem to find one.
I know it is possible to embed a POWL APP in an FPM and also use a POWL feeder inside a GUIBB List. Embedding a tab, form or list into the POWL details only makes sense.
Has anybody done this before, if so what were the gotchas if any?
Cheers
JSP

Howto replace an embedded FPM-Instance within a Web DynPro Application?

Hi,
I have to build a Web DynPro application that displays an Navigation menu on the left side. On the right side within a UIViewContainer an embedded FPM Instance should be displayed depending on which entry I pressed on the Navigation menu. (Similiar to the Cockpit)
For Test purposes I have 2 buttons in the navigation menu. One to add the fpm and one to remove the fpm.
When I start the WD Application I first hit the addfpm button. And a new FPM Application is displayed within the UIViewElementContainer. When I hit the delfpm button the FPM will disappear. When I will the addfpm button again I get
a dump[1]
I have absolutely no idea why I get this dump.
Do I have to reset the FPM application remove removing it? Or is it possible to load a new FPM configuration in the FPM without removing it first?
Here are the Methods that I use to remove/add the FPM-Instance:
method ONACTIONADDFPM .
DATA: L_VIEW_CONTROLLER_API TYPE REF TO IF_WD_VIEW_CONTROLLER.
DATA: L_COMPONENT_USAGE TYPE REF TO IF_WD_COMPONENT_USAGE.
DATA: lf_conf_key TYPE WDY_CONFIG_KEY.

    lf_conf_key-CONFIG_ID = '/PLMU/WDC_MAT_OIF_CFG'.
    L_COMPONENT_USAGE->CREATE_COMPONENT( EXPORTING COMPONENT_NAME = 'FPM_OIF_COMPONENT'
                                                   CONFIGURATION_ID = lf_conf_key ).
    "Komponente mit der View verknüpfen:

   lf_event = cl_fpm_event=>GC_EVENT_CLOSE.

Chris yes you are right, there is some special logic in the nav app,
that I can't do with NWBC.
If I would use a Portal to display the FPM within an Iframe.
What happends when I replace the FPM in the Iframe with a new
FPM/URl. Will the old FPM in the Iframe just disappear or will
the FPM shutdown and release all the acquired locks?
I already did a simliar thing where I just used URLs
to display an FPM application within an IView/IFrame.
But when I replace the URL of the IView/IFrame with a new URL/FPM,
the old FPM only just disappered but no locks where released.
So displaying the same FPM again, gives me a message that the Object is already
locked.
Thanks

Is it possible to open window with FPM embedded multiple times in a dialog?

Hi,
Is it possible to open a web dynpro window whose view embeds the FPM_GAF_COMPONENTu2019s FPM_WINDOW multiple times in dialog window?
I have a web dynpro component WDC1 which use FPM_GAF_COMPONENT and provide the component configuration for FPM.
Thereu2019s a WINDOW1 (with View1) in WDC1 which has a view container and the FPM_GAF_COMPONENTu2019s FPM_WINDOW is embedded.
I have a button in WDC1 which create a new dialog window by calling if_wd_window_manager->CREATE_WINDOW as code below.
      lo_window = lo_window_manager->CREATE_WINDOW(
          MODAL                = ABAP_TRUE
          WINDOW_NAME          = 'WINDOW1'
          TITLE                = 'Test opening FPM multiple times'
          CLOSE_BUTTON         = ABAP_TRUE
*          BUTTON_KIND          =
*          MESSAGE_TYPE         = IF_WD_WINDOW=>CO_MSG_TYPE_NONE
*          CLOSE_IN_ANY_CASE    = ABAP_TRUE
*          MESSAGE_DISPLAY_MODE =
*          DEFAULT_BUTTON       =
          IS_RESIZABLE         = ABAP_TRUE
It works for the first time when I click the button, a dialog window opens with my FPM GAF stuff.
But when I click the button the second time after closing the dialog window, it generates a dump with error message saying u201CComponent Usage Group MESSAGE_AREA_USAGES Already Existsu201D.
In ST22, the dump was generated in WDDOINIT of view u201CMAINu201D on FPM_GAF_COMPONENT which looks to me like the message manager is already created in the first time.
lr_component = wd_comp_controller->wd_get_api( ).
lr_usage_group = lr_component->create_cmp_usage_group(
                       name            = 'MESSAGE_AREA_USAGES'
                       used_component = 'FPM_MESSAGE_MANAGER' ).
wd_this->mo_message_area_usage = lr_usage_group->add_component_usage( 'MESSAGE_AREA_USAGE' ).
wd_this->mo_message_area_usage->create_component( 'FPM_MESSAGE_MANAGER' ).
I tried to remove the component usage of FPM in my WDC1 or delete the component directly, hoping that this will clear the memory , but doesnu2019t work, only bring more different dumps which make this look like a wrong direction as I am interfering the lifecycle of FPM itself.
Can anyone share some ideas here? Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Beiyang
P.S. The FPM GAF works fine when I open the window in new browser (by calling if_wd_window_manager->create_external_window).

Hi ,
Currently I am facing same problem could you please let me know how you resolved your issue.
Thanks in advance.

POWL: Can't see POWL detail component when POWL is embedded

Hi,
I created a POWL which is embedded in another WD-Component. This WD-Comp contains 2 views, one which embedds the POWL the other which is the view the POWL should use as detail component.
The problem i have is that when calling the WD Comp. the POWL doesn't show the detail component, while it does when calling the POWL directly.
Can someone give me a hint what went wrong?
Thanks
Harald

What I want to achieve is following:
I need a worklist(POWL) and for each item in the worklist I want to see details (as POWL detail component).
The POWL is inbedded in a webdypro view (let's call it V_MAIN) in WD-Comp "A". For the detail component I need also a view. So my naive idea was to create this view (call it V_DETAIL) also in WD-Comp "A" to have everything that belongs together in one component. Of course I implemented the respective interface I need for POWL Detail Components and I also created separate window for view V_MAIN. V_DETAIL has anyway a dedicated window POWL_DETAIL.
As mentioned in the initial post I have no issue if I call the POWL directly only if I call it via the wrapper view V_MAIN.

Integrate fpm and powl

Hi,
How do i integrate the POWL for an application using FPM?
Thanks,
Ronita

>I am designing a solution that will use both Floor Plan Manager and POWL applications. However I am still in release 700 version 22
Yes you will have a problem with the FPM protion FPM is not delivered/supported until NetWeaver 7.0 Enhancement Package 1.
>If so, I also would like to know if it is possible to do an upgrade to the required Netweaver version without having impacts on functionality.
Yes and no. You can't upgrade just the NetWeaver Layer. You must also apply the corresponding Business Suite Enhancement Package. For example in ERP, you would need to apply ERP 6.0 Enhancement Package 4 in order to get NetWeaver 7.0 Enhancement Package 1. However you don't have to activate any of the new functionality in ther ERP Enhancement Package. So the impact to the business can be smaller, but the techincally implemetnation and testing is still required.

Queries related to POWL...

Hi Experts,
I have couple of queries related to POWL:
1. Is it possible to select multiple rows in the POWL query table (Result after runnig POWL query). I am not using Web Dynpro ABAP application to call POWL but using POWL iView.
2. If above is not possible then can multiple rows be selected by pressing CTRL button and then lead select with the help of mouse. I am not able to do this as well. In one of the ECC it is working but in other it is not working. can there be any version issue.
3. By default Layout of POWL query are Link Matrix and the same can be changed to Tabstrip by going inside Personalize option, but that will only affect the particular user who have done personalization.
Is there any way to make Tabstrip Layout as default for all the users.
4. Please through some light on transaction LPD_CUST, as I want to open Web dynpro screen from POWL action. Again POWL is not embedded in Web dynpro application.
Thanks,
Harish

How to Embed FPM ABAP into a WebDynpro ABAP Application

            ls_conf_key TYPE wdy_config_key.
      lo_usage = wd_this->wd_cpuse_po_manage_fpm_usage( ).

      ENDTRY.
My application is called (debug stops) but the screen that's rendered is an empty screen with Start and Close buttons (the initial screen which is normally displayed is not in this case).
What could the problem be?
Also, how can I pass parameters to my FPM application? (According to the PDF guide, app_parameters can't be used!)
Thank you.

Hi ,
Did you find a solution to your problem?. I'm trying to do the same kind of thing and have the same problem.
Thanks.

How to pass data from one UIBB to anothere UIBB in OIF/GAF - FPM

Dear all,
as of now i am using FPM only for displaying data from different components.
now i would like to pass the data from one UIBB to another by calling second UIBB on action of a button. (instead of using standard path in GAF scenario)
how could i achieve this. is there any difference mechanism's for UIBB's of single component and UIBB's from different different components.
it would be great if some one can explain or help me reg this issue on both OIF and GAF FPM's.
Thanks in Advance.
Best Regards,
Kranthi kumar Palle.

I've actually combined these two approaches to data sharing - I've passed a class reference in the shared data component. This is nice (in my opinion) because it is very obvious where the data is coming from and who it is shared with. It also means that there is not a huge overhead in passing data through the shared context, because you are just replicating a reference to a class instance.
And - you don't have to deal with singleton classes :-). So if you want/need to extend your implementation at a later date (for example embedding multiple instances of the same "app" in the one window - or suspending and resuming to another instance of the same app you can then do this. (NB - suspend resume to launch another FPM app does not work because of this (amongst other things)).
NB a shared data component need not be faceless! I certainly have "shared data" UIBBs that also have UI components - possibly not best practice - but it certainly can be done.
