Enhancement spot & line diff

Whats the diff b'tween enhencement spot & enhencement line.
Pls explain.
Thanks

hi,
Enhancement points are like hooks where you can attach your own piece of code and coding in an enhancement point is no different than a normal coding , just that it is a point in the standard program into which you can give your own custom logic.
There are 2 types of enhancements given by SAP:
1. Explicit enhancement points: Go to program RIAUFMVK . You can see ENHANCEMENT-POINT at many places. These are all explicit enhancement points and you can easily implement these points . Simply press shift+F4 and then go to the point which you want to implement. Right click on it and follow the path Enhancement implementation->create. Give the name of the implementation and the assign it to a package(shoud not be a Z package).
Once it is created you can start your coding as you normally do.
2. Implicit enhancement points are not very stable and should be the last resort after you have explored all the user exits , BAdIs and explicit points. In order to find out the implicit enhacement points , press shift+F4 then goto menu option Edit->Enhancement Operations->show implicit enhancement options. This will bring up all the points that you can enhance. This will appear as a line with arrows. To implement this you have to follow the same procedure as for explicit enhacement points.
So enhacement point works like the other codes . Just that you should know which one to implement and where. As far as possible avoid implicit enhacements as they are not very stable at present and even if you are going for it keep a back-up of your code always.
enhancement spots
The enhancement spots are used to manage explicit enhancement options. Enhancement spots carry information about the positions at which enhancement options were created. One enhancement spot can manage several enhancement options of a Repository object. Conversely, several enhancement spots can be assigned to one enhancement option.
for further information on spots look at:

Implementing Enhancement Spot

Hi Experts,
           I am looking for an exhancement (Function Exit / Badi ) which will should be trigegred when user presses SAVE button in PO .(Say me22n)
           As I couldn't find suitable exit / badi....I thought of using the enhancement point provided for ME22N in the PAI module.Please correct if there is any issue upto here.
*&      Module EVENT_PAI_FINISHED INPUT
      text
MODULE event_pai_finished INPUT.
ENHANCEMENT-POINT EVENT_PAI_FINISHED_01 SPOTS ES_LMEVIEWSF01 INCLUDE BOUND.
CALL METHOD call_view->handle_event( 'BEFORE_TRANSPORT' ).
CALL METHOD call_view->handle_event( 'PAI_FINISHED' ).
ENDMODULE.                             " EVENT_PAI_FINISHED INPUT
           Then to implement the enhancement point by creating a BADI implemetation ..when we are enetering the enhancement spot name ES_LMEVIEWSF01 under the create implementations section of SE19 transctaion with NEW BADI......and when we pressed cretae implementation button...nothing is happening..I mean neither BADI is getting created...nor thorwing any error message......
       Please suggest me how to follow.......You can find above code in the include
LMEVIEWSF01 at line no 188........
        Earlier response will be appreciated.....
        Thanks ina dvance and reward points are garunteed....

Hi Debhasis,
   Thanks for your reply. While saving exit 12 or exit 13 will be triggered ONLY when we make changes in standard PO item TABS.
    Let's say standard PO has 10 TABS at ITEM level. We are adding one more custom TAB there adding to that our client interest is not to include this TAB fields in EKPO structure. Hence we have to create the TAB by using screen exit option and we successfully created the TAB.
     Now take a case that we oopen ME22N with a PO no..then user did not make any changes in all the 10 standard TABS but make changes in only custom TAB...in that case exit 12 or exit 13 will not get triggered....Because they will be triggered only when you make changes to the fields which will be in EKKO or EKPO....as we are not supposed to extend EKPO ....those two exits will not be handy for us.......
     We even tried in existing BADI's ....but no BADI or exit will be getting triggering when we do not make any changes which effect EKKO and EKPO structure....
      Please let us know . if you have any idea to counter this unique problem.
       We also request you to please let us know ,if you ahve any idea, about implementing the this particular enhancement spot. Usually we can do it by SE19. But this particular spot is not allowing us to create one......
Anyway Thanks .....Let's flow the discussion...

Hi
ENHANCEMENT-POINT
ENHANCEMENT-POINT can either be static (for example, additional data declaration) or dynamic (for example, additional coding).

Defines a position in an ABAP program as an enhancement option, at which one or more source code plug-ins can be inserted.
Syntax
ENHANCEMENT-POINT enh_id SPOTS spot1 spot2 ...
[STATIC]
[INCLUDE BOUND].
Extras:
1. ... STATIC
2. ... INCLUDE BOUND
Effect
: This statement defines an explicit enhancement option at the current position in the program at which a source code enhancement can be made. In program generation, the source code plug-ins of the assigned enhancement implementation that are available in the current system and have a switch in the status stand-by or on, are inserted at this position.
If the addition STATIC is not specified, the source code enhancement is dynamic. This means that in program execution, only those source code plug-ins are executed whose switch has the status on. If a source code plug-in does not have a switch assigned to it, it is handled in the same way as a plug-in with a switch in the status on.
With enh_id, an ID must be specified directly for the enhancement option, which is unique in the current compilation unit without the addition INCLUDE BOUND, and with this addition, is unique in current Include program. At least one enhancement spot must be assigned to the enhancement option using the specification simple enhancement spots spot1, spot2, and so on.
Within enhancements, one or more source code plug-ins can be created for one enhancement option. A source code plug-in is created by the assignment of an enhancement implementation in the Enhancement Builder. This automatically generates an empty source code plug-in with a unique ID, which is displayed underneath ENHANCEMENT-POINT in the Editor, where the actual enhancement can be implemented between ENHANCEMENT and ENDENHANCEMENT.
A source code plug-in is assigned to only one enhancement option. Multiple source code plug-ins of one enhancement implementation and the source code plug-ins of multiple enhancement implementations can be assigned to one enhancement point.
Notes
: In the terminology of the enhancement concept, the statement ENHANCEMENT-POINT includes both the enhancement spot element definition and the enhancement spot invocation of the enhancement option.
The statement ENHANCEMENT-POINT can either be entered directly or created by choosing Edit ? Enhancement operations ? Create enhancement in the Enhancement Builder. After the program has been saved or created using Edit ? Enhancement operations ? Create enhancement, the statement can only be deleted by choosing Edit ? Enhancement operations ? Delete enhancement.
In addition to the enhancement options explicitly specified by ENHANCEMENT-POINT, ABAP programs also contain implicit enhancement points, which can also be enhanced using source code plug-ins.
Addition 1
... STATIC
Effect
: The addition STATIC is used to define a static source code enhancement. In a static source code enhancement, all incorporated source code plug-ins are taken into account when the program is executed, including those whose switch is in the status stand-by.
Note
: The STATIC addition is intended for the enhancement of data declarations, while the statement ENHANCEMENT-POINT without the STATIC addition is designed for the enhancement of executable coding. When the statement is executed using Enhancements ? Create enhancement, the addition is set according to this selection.
Addition 2
... INCLUDE BOUND
Effect
: This addition can be entered in Include programs. It links the source code enhancement to the current Include program. Each program that incorporates an Include program only includes the source code enhancements that are defined with this addition. Source code enhancements created using the INCLUDE BOUND addition have their own namespace in each Include program. This ensures that if several Include programs are integrated into one compilation unit, no namespace conflicts arise, either between Include programs, or with the source code enhancements of the compilation unit.
Without the addition INCLUDE BOUND, a source code enhancement is assigned to only one compilation unit. If the statement ENHANCEMENT-POINT is executed in an Include program without this addition, a compilation unit must be assigned to it in the Enhancement Builder.
Note
: In an Include program, Include-bound and non-Include-bound source code enhancements can not be defined at the same time. This also applies if an Include program incorporates other Include programs.
Enhancement points are points provided by sap in standard programs to modify the source code. Go to any standard program, Locate the spiral button on the toolbar. Then press it and then navigate to edit->enhancement operations->display enhancement point menu. Then a no of yellow lines would appear, which are the available en points. You would have to change it and write the applicable source code.

Anji

Enhancement Spot ES_SAPLMEWQ

Hello,
I'm trying to implement the enhancement spot ES_SAPLMEWQ for BAPI_REQUISITION_CREATE. You can view the ES in SE18, but when trying to create an implementation in SE19 nothing happens, not even a message is displayed. Any ideas?
Thank you,
A

Hi Arash,
there is a second approach for implementation of this type of enhancements: display the source-code of the standard function, e.g. bapi_sourcedetermin_getsos. Push shift+F4 to switch into the enhancement-change-mode (however this might be called). Then you can Position the cursor on the line, where you want to implement someting (e.g. nhancement-point bapi_sourcedetermin_getsos_g8 spots es_saplmewq static) Then right click and there you get the option to create an enhancement, too.
Best regards, Christian

Enhancement spot not getting triggered

Hello Experts,
I have activated an explicit enhancement spot by right clicking on 'ENHANCEMENT-SECTION->Create'. (ENHANCEMENT-SECTION BELEG_SICHERN_23 SPOTS ES_SAPMV45A. line in MV45AF0B_BELEG_SICHERN include).
I have then written my code in the placeholder given by enhancement spot. Then I have activated enhancement (Ctrl + F3) and then activated the code.
When I debug, the enhancement is not getting called.
Do I need to register the enhancement somewhere so that it will get triggered.
Regards,
Ashish

Hi Ashish,
Try writing breakpoint statement for your user id, and execute with your user id.
And make sure that you had not put the break point inside some conditions, because of which control is not coming there.
So try putting break point,at the beginning.
Let me know if you are still unable to solve it.
Thanks,
Nisha Vengal.

ENHANCEMENT SPOT ERROR- INTERESTING !!!

Dear All,
I am Enhancing the standard PR05 Tcode inside an include MP56TF90(Which updates the cluster and creates the Trip number) in a subroutine FORM update_cluster.
I have to insert some lines of code before the statement : DATA: p_return TYPE i.(Which means before update_te_cluster.)
And, Some lines of code after the cluster is updated, trip created ie after MESSAGE s185 WITH te-key-reinr.
Thanks to SAP that it has provided implicit enhancement points at both these points.
I successfully created 2 enhancement implementations at these 2 points are included my code at the 2 respective positions.
Now, I have an IF condition in the upper part_.If the condition is met, then the cluster should not be updated_ and hence before DATA: p_return TYPE i. I am putting an ELSE statement and the first enhancement implementation end here after ELSE.
If the condition is not met, then the cluster needs to be updated after ELSE statement and thereyby I am putting the ENDIF statement at the ned of the 2nd enhacement implementation ie., before ENDFORM. "update_cluster.
As the IF and ENDIF are present in 2 different enhancement implemetations, the system gives an error as follows:-
+In the coding for a non-static enhancement and for a non-static ENHANCEMENT-SECTION, the control structures (IF, CASE) must be closed...+
*And, I have no Option but to do it as above to meet the customer requirement ...ie., If SUPPOSE I do ENDIF in the first part only and remove the endif from 2nd part, then the condition is ofcourse being met but the control comes down and updates the cluster as well (WHICH SHOULD NOT HAPPEN !)*
Any comments on this piece ?
I hope my Q is clear .. If not I will post the code next time.. (As the Question is too big )
-Anwar ...

Hi Roby,
Once the interface for an enhancement spot is created you have to delete it completely as some part of it would still exist if you just delete it from se24 or se18.
the classes which actually implements the interface or enhancement spot / implementations at times are left and thats why when you create it again it will not ask you for Package assignment if you will observe.
So i will suggest to try checking the Spot components from se80 transaction and delete it completely. Also check if the entry still exists in tadir table which i am sure will be there even after you delete as i also encountered the same issue once.
Thats why i suggested you to create it with a new name for E-spot and interface too and check otherwise may be change the tadir entry as well.
Hope this helps.
regards,
Vikas

How to use Enhancement spot in program

Hi gurus,
now i am working ecc 6.0, so how to use Enhancement spot in program, can anybody explain step by step.
Rewarded with points.
Thanks
Naveen

Hi Naveen ,
Enhancement Spot are available.
Examples:
-End of Executable Program, Include, Function group, Dialog module
-Begin/End of Form routine / Function module / Method
-End of a structure
-End of Private/Protected/Public Section of a local class
If you want to create Implementation , You have to right click on yellow color line and gve Zxxx and save it in any
transport request under any dev class. Then you can write your own code and save it and activate it .
Later If you want to Transport it you need to transport this request.

Is this the right way of using Enhancement spots?

Hi fellow SDN people.
We are implementing some changes to standard SAP IDOC:s using the new enhancement technique and I just wanted to check with you guys about our approach. Please look at the code below and comment on our solution. Is there a better way of doing this in general? Are we using the BAdI concept wrong?

Hi nirre,
That's right.....
In general the thumb rule for this is:"
The enhancement implementation should be complete, let me clear with this example:
data:
begin of xy_12_12,
x12 type i,
y12(2) type c,
end of xy_12_12.
now if i want to enhance the code via implementing the implicit enhancement spot, that implementation should be complete in itself.i.e
begin of xy_12_12,
x12 type i,
y12(2) type c,
>>
data : e12 type i.
<<<
end of xy_12_12.
Hope it will clear the concept.

Amit

Unable to find enhancement spot

Hello Guys
I am working on a object where I need to add legacy material number on Warehouse Management Count sheet... The report program is RLLI0400. Transaction code is LI04. The program does not contain any form or any script.. They used Write statement and created a spool.
So to work on this, I have only two options,
1. To identify a enhancement spot and insert there
2. To copy the program into a zprogram and insert there...
I am unable to find the enhancement spot to insert the field there...
So, is there any other way to work on this... Can anyone help me on this......

You can always use "implicit enhancement point".
You can add this kind of enhancement at the beggining and at the end of subrutines, functions, etc.
Here is the link with the info
[Implicit Enhancement Options |http://help.sap.com/abapdocu_70/en/ABENIMPLICIT_ENH_POINTS.htm]
1- Enter ehancement mode (the spiral icon)
2- Go Edit u2192 Enhancement operations u2192 show implicit enhancement options
3- Now you will see several grey lines all along the code... this are the places where you can add your enhancement point.
4- Select a line with your cursor and then in the same menu choose create.

goto the program. click on the enhancment button(one with curled) on the tool bar.
the screen color will change. click on goto->enhancments->show implicit enhacment.
you will see yellow color line. chose the line wher you want to enhance and right click and select enhanment->create.
in the dialog box, press create button. give the enhacment spot name. press ok.
now select your enhancement name and press ok
your enhancment will be added in the code.
press activate to activate the point.

Display custom error message in enhancement spots

Hi all,
Is there someone here who've encountered having the need to display custom error message in an enhancement spot? Could you help me please.. I can't find any reference from the net.
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Aris

Hi,
The error message can be only displayed in enhancement spots based on thr program flow.
You have to determine where its getting called for ex: in PBO or PAI etc.....
You have to find the right place to display the error messages . for ex: using a memory id ......

Hi,
I think you have to use the function module 'POPUP_TO_CONFIRM' give the error message what you want to and if the user press any button keep the control on the same screen.
