ESS - Creating a Front End Selection Screen, that accesses SAP T-code

Hi,
We have an ESS Portal in our company.
I have been given the following request:
For a specific transaction, create a selection screen in the portal that would be a modified version of the selection screen that exists in the SAP system.
From this front-end in the selection screen, the specific transaction within the SAP system would be accessed.
How is this done? What do I need to know about the overall process?
Please help.
Thanks,
John

Just to clarify,
Create the transaction and selection screen in the SAP system.
Then ask the Portal team to create an iView for this transaction.
What if I need to say get the Internal SAP employee number from the user's sign on information?
Thanks,
John

  • How to create a report with selection screen that can run in background

    Sorry to ask these basic questions but I am knew to ABAP Programming.
    To keep it simply, I am attempting to create a report that has a simple parameter driven selections screen with one field.  That field takes in a folder path from the user.  The user executes the report.  The report creates a simply BDC that goes into SE16, gathers data from a table, and exports the results to a text file using the folder path provided.  I created a variant for the folder path field in the selection screen hoping to use it while executing the report in the background.  The report is not exporting the file as it did when run in the foreground for some reason.
    I am wondering what event is triggered when a report is executed in the background.  In the foreground (or when I execute the program via SE38->Execute->With Variant) the user needs to execute the program by hitting the execute button once the variant has populated the folder path field.  It works then, so I am trying to get the same to work in the background.  I am thinking I didn't put the program together correctly to accommodate the running in the background.  How can you create a report that can accept user input via variant into a selection screen and then run in the background?
    Please, any information would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks you all for reading this!!!

    Ok, finally I understand what you're doing. Initially you lost me with the SE16 reference...
    Not sure what you're trying to achieve overall, but apart from the fact that you cannot export/download a file to a user's PC via background job (unless you have a mapped network share on the server or something like an FTP server on the user's PC, but both are pretty hypothetical scenarios and unlikely to occur).
    Also, the BDC approach to get data via SE16 is pretty awkward. Note that SE16 is guarded by some authorization checks and often users won't have access in production (which might not matter if you intend to always run your program in background via dedicated batch user). However, I have no clue why you wouldn't want to use [open SQL|http://help.sap.com/abapdocu_70/en/ABENOPEN_SQL_READING.htm] to read the data. You could then save it on the application server or if you really have to get it to the user you can consider e-mailing the file (extracts should be compressed before sending). For the latter you'll find plenty of references here, basically it's the [business communication services|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/2d/1c5d3aebba4c38e10000000a114084/frameset.htm] that you'd need to look at.

  • Setting only the TO field on the Created on Field in Selection screen to Current date

    Hello,
    We have a requirement to Set only the To date in the Created on Field in Selection screen to the Current date, I have tried through Dynamic variable option to set the Date calculation but I am able to see Options to set the Current date to From or From and To Created on Date fields instead of setting the Current date only to To created on Field.
    We are in 4.7 and are not supported with user defined variables, Appreciate your inputs on this.

    what Text field you want to change.
    Since you are working with Dynpros , you have to split the screen in two parts, and one for the Showing differenet fonts and other your normal Dynpro information.
    you need to use the Method ADD_TEXT Did you check the program DD_STYLE_TABLE.

  • How to let sql server 2008 know the table created at front end in c#

    How to let sql server 2008 know the table created at front end in c#

    The best solution is to create table type and pass the DataTable as table-valued parameter. I have an article on my web site about this:
    http://www.sommarskog.se/arrays-in-sql-2008.html
    The full article is a bit of overkill for what you are doing right now, but just the few first pages should get you going.

  • Intalling BO front end tools on top of SAP BW (trial version).

    Hi All,
    I currently work on SAP BI and SAP Enterprise Portal projects.  I am looking at installing BO Front end tools on top of SAP BW (just a trial version though).  
    Does anybody have the links where I can download this software?  Also I have played about with Excelsious which appears to be the new version of analyzer.  What is the new version of Web Application Designer (Pioneer??)  Is it possible to integrate web templates created with BO into the SAP Enterprise portal? Is there any guides which explains how to create simple dashboards with BO front end tools and integarte them into the portal?
    I have a found some decent blogs already and am currently attempting to install BO onto my laptop.
    Any help appreciated.

  • Can I call a selection-screen that is in another function group?

    I am writing a function module in function group ZFG_A.
    There exists a Dypro 9001 that exists in function group ZFG_B.
    How can I call the dynpro 9001 from my function in ZFG_A?
    This is not OO so I am not sure how to qualify the 9001?  Such as ZFG_B=>9001
      call selection-screen 9001 starting at 5 5
                                 ending   at 70 15.
    I get compile errors on the selection-screen variables because they are not found.
    Thank you,
    Olivier

    Its not at all possible to call a screen of different program from other program.
    But u can copy the screen using a FM called 'RS_SCRP_COPY' or 'RS_SCREEN_COPY'. In the former u can copy the screen with out popup but u have to specify the SOURCE program name and screen number and TARGET program name and screen no.
    In the later u ll get the popup similar to when u copy a screen in SE51.In the popup as u know u have to enter source name and screen no. and target program name and screen no.
    Thanks & Regards

    am not a techie so cannot answer your question in earnst but I know exactly how youfel about e-rec looka nd feel so adding my two pence:
    1. when discussing e-rec it is imp to mentione the version below version 6 it was bsp 6 onwardsit is webdynpro.
    2. before we discuss code changes, what is the extent of 'look and feel' change your clientwants? can that be addresed via the portal-theme by way of developing a flashy new css based theme? thatmakes life easy for everybody involved and also makes the entire nw portal flasy not just the outward facing job portal...  at a comparitively low cost...

  • Is it possible to create a variant without selection screen

    Hi,
    I would like to create a variant for a report(Standard report). It does not have selection screen. Could someone tell me is it possible to creste a varaint for it?
    Is it possible to create a variant w/o selection screen? if yes, how?

    If some SELECT-OPTIONS are hidden or NO-DISPLAY, you should be able to create a variant for the report.

    Appreciate your answers
    Thanks,

    Usually this means, that some necessary controls are not properly registered in the registry and hence can't be found. You may solve that by removing the SAPGUI from the PC completely, booting the machine and reinstall the GUI.

  • Front end admin web app access

    Is there any way to allow admin users access to all web app records from the front end? We are building an app where regular secure zone users update their own records and are finding the back end admin screens for web apps too restrictive. It would be much easier to build admin functionality on the front end. Anyone have any thoughts on how to do this?

  • Get selection screen parameters from sap query

    Hello. I use SAP Query Reporting, so I added a report assignment for detailing (sq01 ->  Change button -> Goto -> Report Assignment -> Insert row -> Other type row -> Abap Report Program)
    and put there ABAP program.
    When I run query and press CtrlShiftF1  (or double click) It calls my abap program.
    So the question is: how to get selection screen parameters in my program ?
    to be more precise I want to get date parameter (begda, endda)
    Thanks a lot.

    There is a Z query which I can see in sq01. I set reporting period and run the query; when I run it, it gives me the employee list.
    So I wrote the abap report to get an employee details, customized query as I mentioned above.
    The query calls my report and I need to get parameters.
    SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF BLOCK frm1 WITH FRAME TITLE text-001.
    PARAMETER :  p_pernr LIKE p0001-pernr OBLIGATORY MATCHCODE OBJECT prem.
    PARAMETER : p_date LIKE sy-datum.
    SELECTION-SCREEN END OF BLOCK frm1.
    Parameter
    p_pernr
    passes normal. ALV Query contains it, but I'd like to get one more parameter from selection screen of the query and don't know how to get it.

  • Can't printing in front-end when implement LOCL access method 'G'

    We are implementing ECC5.0 and print Purchase Order in normal status.But in recent,user print PO by long printer name with some trouble.So we check the notes,and it recommand us to implement access method 'G'.It seems every thing is OK on front-end printing.Still not work for printing PO on front-end output immediate.If we choose short printer name and access method 'F',it work fine.But SAP will no longer develop method 'F'.Please advise it.

    SAP PO is using background printing. SAP frontend print doesn't support background printing.
    As per SAP Frontend document, You cannot perform front-end printing in the background, as there is not connection to the front end.
    For this, you need to configure network printer.
    Thanks,
