Embedding external application in SAP through ABAP

Hi All,
I wanted to know that can we embed external application in a subscreen through ABAP.
Thanks in advance,
Points to helpful replies.

Bharat Mistry.

Hi Bharat,
SAP did a lot in Terma of integration of programs running on the frontend. They have some intefaces with SAP office; I'm not too familar with them.
What you want, is connected to the subject "Desktop Office Integration (BC-CI)".
See the link
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/e9/0be775408e11d1893b0000e8323c4f/frameset.htm
for more information on this.
SAP propvides a good pdf explaining a lot. You can find at help.sap.com; foro Additional Information->Print Files->SAP R/3 Release 4.6C->English->PDF Index->Desktop Office Integration (BC-CI): data/pdf/BCCIOFFI/BCCIOFFI.pdf
This is not the latest version because SAP does not provide the new documentation in the form of print files, but it is good.
Yo could have your Excel running in a subscreen will full data connection to the ABAP program. Any many tgings more.
Depends on what you want and what you need.
Regrads,

Error in starting application server SAP Netweaver ABAP Trial version

After starting the application server on my Windows Vista system, i'm getting next error :

May I ask what you mean by "first start Windows services related to MaxDB" ?
I have what I believe is very a similar problem.
Only the MessageServer starts in sapmmc. The Dispatcher soon stops and I then get the message
"C:\SAP\NSP\DVEBMGS00\work>set DBNAME=NSP

in C:\SAP\NSP\DVEBMGS00\work\stderr0.
The best I can get is that the disp+work.EXE Dispatcher is "Running, Message Server connection, OK, Dialog Queue time: 0.00 sec" after starting in sapmmc but it stops after 1:15 with the above message.
Most grateful for any suggestions.
Edit : I now have instead of the above
C:\SAP\NSP\DVEBMGS00\work>findstr "ONLINE" adatmp
ONLINE
Database NSP successfully started !
but still the Dispatcher stops afer 1:15.
I now find the message that the system cannot find a file that I see is in fact present under the path given in the message:
ERROR => DlLoadLib: LoadLibrary(C:\SAP\NSP\SYS\exe\run\dbsdbslib.dll) Error 126 [dlnt.c       241]
M          Error 126 = "Das angegebene Modul wurde nicht gefunden."
which puzzles me.

Problem with file receiving through abap web service

Hi experts,
I need to created web service for import file from .NET application into SAP.
ABAP function expect hexadecimal string (same as GUI_UPLOAD / GUI_DOWNLOAD) but hexadecimal string from C# is too long (double longer), and I have no idea how to convert it. Also there is a problem with code page...
Is there some better way to do this? Any idea is welcome!

Hi Nemanja,
Please bear in mind that your SAP system is based on UTF-8 encoding. Since you have the xstring length doubled, most probably your sender system uses UTF-16 encoding. So what you need to do is change the encoding used by your .NET application when sending the data to SAP.
Alternatively, you can try using XSL Transformations in ABAP to have the input data converted from UTF-16-encoded xstring to ABAP structures. You can find a little example in this thread: ABAP data to XML conv with UTF-8 encoding and custom namespace. The point is to start your XSLT with the following: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>.
Hope this helps,
Greg

Interfacing application with SAP for Customer data

Hello,
I would like to build an interface between an external application and SAP for the customers. The Customer will be created and maintained in the external application and data should be updated in SAP automatically.
I thought that I could use the idoc debmas but I am facing to issues :
- Debmas doesn't update the data ( I have to fill again all the data to update the customer unless all the other data is cleared)
- Debmas doesn't contains address data
Is there any other way to build this kind of interface ? I would like to avoid specific programs.
Thank you,

Hi,
Have you ever considered Direct Input method to upload your customer master records?
RFBIDE00 is the standard sap program to upload.
You can use LSMW to avaoid coding.
Alternatively, you can extend the DEBMAS idoc to make it work the way you want to work.

Call external application through Abap WD application

Hello All,
We are trying to call an external application using ABAP. The details are as below
1) SAP server on AIX OS
2) External Apps server: Windows OS
The external apps takes a file located on windows as input and generates a file on windows as output. The external appls is installed on the windows OS.
We are unable to trigger the VC apps from ABAP.( AIX OS).
Appreciate if you can guide and give some examples. Please note that the OS are different.
Questions:
1) How to access windows file system to execute external appls from ABAP ( AIX)
2) Would a RFC be required to be made between ABAP and the windows server where external appls is hosted
3) Any sample code/links is really help ful
We were able to get it working when the applications was hosted on local file system ( desktop) . Two problems are getting the appls executed on remote and different OS accessing windows file system through unix ( AL11 should help here i guess)
Regards
PN

Hi Lekha

PS: create_external_window is alway a GET Method and I do not want to show Parameters in the URL.

If you are planning to develop a mobile application fresh , then it is recommended to use NW Mobile 7.10 as it comes to market with much more features compared to its predecessor..

Can we run a java class in a external server through abap program?

Dear Experts,
Can we run a java class in an external server ( other than application server and client system )?
I have tried running it in the client system through a program and it works.
But i have the requirement of running it in another system. Can it be done?

Hi,
If this is the case I think you can call this web service from SAP and triger the execution of the application on the "external server".
SAP is behaving as a client in this case.
Another alternative:
"have tried running it in the client system through a program and it works." please elaborate.
Regards.

Hi Prabhu,
Since it is a Custom Fm i cant see it in my system.
Look if u want to bring data in internal table then there could be two ways::
1) your FM should contain itab in CHANGING option , so that u can have internal table of same type and pass through FM,
2) read values one by one and append to internal table.
Thanks

Communicating with a external application through tcp/ip

Hi all,
I have set up a procedure to communicate with a external application. I have used util_tcp to set up this connection. The process I undertake is i send some packets to a remote port XXXX on a particular ip address .
i.e util_tcp.open_connection(host_ip_address,host_port).
I then wait for data coming back, from this external application.
I then close the connection.
All is fine when I execute this procedure from a AIX server, I get all the required packets back.
But when I execute this procedure from a windows server I manage to send packets of data out to the remote port but i can't read data from the port. When i telnet to the remote machine i could see the packets being sent back but i just can't seem to reas the data/packets. the utl_tcp.available is zero. BUT when i run the same procedure from aix server it works fine.
If anyone can help, much appreciated.
thankyou
nahim

Sorry I think I may have not been very clear about what I am asking.
On AIX Server:
Has Oracle Database 8 on it.
-I connect to remote port 7097 - c := utl_tcp.open_connection('XXX.XXX.XXX.XX',7097,null,null,null,null,null,null);
-I send out packets to External App(Schedular) through above connection - li_return_value := utl_tcp.write_line(c, lc_ClientPacket);
-Schedular sends back Packets through above connection
-Oracle Database 8 checks for data on port
utl_tcp.available(c) > 1
-Data is available so start to read data
lc_RawData := UTL_TCP.get_text(c,li_lenOfRawData);
On Windows Server:
Has Oracle Database 9i on it.
-I connect to remote port 7097 - c := utl_tcp.open_connection('XXX.XXX.XXX.XX',7097,null,null,null,null,null,null);
-I send out packets to External App(Schedular) through above connection - li_return_value := utl_tcp.write_line(c, lc_ClientPacket);
-Schedular sends back Packets through above connection
-Oracle Database 8 checks for data on port
utl_tcp.available(c) > 1
- BUT THE DATA IS NOT AVAILABLE so cannot read data. Its as if the packets vanish in thin air or windows is not liking the packets.
When telnet to the remote machine I can see the packets i send going into the port and the packets coming back from sideinwder ready for me to read. But for some reason I can't read.
Its a very odd problem, if the eact same code works from AIX, why not windows. I thought it might be something between Oracle database and windows that needs to be set up. But how can any configuration on the oracle database or the windows platform effect communication on the remote host.
Any ides please help
Thankyou for the help provided so far, much appreciated.

Integrating SAP UI5 application in Portal through LPD_Cust gives error

Hi Team,
In our scenario we are calling sap UI5 application in portal through LPD_Cust . We receive error SAP UI5 mobile is not supported in your browser . When we call same application through portal directly it opens properly( In both cases we are using same page and iView).
We have set the property of iview in portal as open in header less window in standard mode.But in Lpd_cust we don't have option of open in standard window.
Is there any work around available which launches application properly.

I think you are experiencing problems thru the document mode of your browser.
The Quirks of Browser Rendering
1) If you are running ldp_cust, you could open the page properties in a new window.
2) set the document mode for the portal: Ajax Framework Page - Portal - SAP Library
iView: Browser Document Mode ( com.sap.portal.BrowserDocumentMode )
This iView adds an X-UA-Compatible header into the framework page that affects the Browser Mode and the Document Mode in Microsoft Internet Explorer. The default value is IE=EmulateIE7 that sets the Browser Mode in Microsoft Internet Explorer to IE7 Compatibility View and the Document Mode toQuirks .
If you are supporting IE9 standards mode, use IE=Edge. Remember that ALL applications in your portal need to support this!
3) See if the problem is the document mode. When you open the SAP UI5 application, press F12 and change the browser mode to Standards.
