Ess Time Sheet and Attendance Web Dynpro - ABAP or JAVA

We are determining the resources we will be needing for the HR - ESS Time Sheet and Attendance Module.   
What is this module written in.  ABAP Web Dynpro or Java Web Dynpro.
Many thanks, 
Multiple replies welcome.

The ESSTimeSheet is now called Record Working Time & for now it is still in WebDynpro JAVA.. looking at how complex the whole application is, it will really take some beating to rewrite the same in WDA.

  • Web dynpro abap or java ?

    Hi All,
          Our client wants a web front end for the SAP system and has asked us to search which web dynpro ABAP or Java will be suitale ?
          They were of the opinion that web dynpro for ABAP is not that good for web interfaces is it correct ?Also is there demend for web dynpro developers in the market ?
    Thanks & Regards
    Gaurav Jain

    >They were of the opinion that web dynpro for ABAP is not that good for web interfaces is it correct ?
    What do you mean by Web Interfaces?  Web Dynpro ABAP and Java are well suited for created browser-based (or rich client based) business application User Interfaces.  If by Web Interfaces you mean Internet facing, highly customizable user interfaces - then no - neither web dynpro abap or java are really well suited for that situation.  WDA and WDJ are both designed to create consistent Business Application user interfaces.
    Now if you just want to compare WDA and WDJ - that is a very different question. The differences in capabilities are relatively minor. Generally it comes down to which programming language you have more of a skill set in and how close to the underlying data you need to be.  Also are you planning to extend existing SAP applications?  WDA is primarily used by SAP within the Business Suite (ERP, SRM, PLM, etc) - two exceptions however - WDJ is used in ESS/MSS (although newer portions of that solution are in WDA) and CRM uses BSP/CRMUI.  WDJ is used by the middleware components (Portal) and edge or composite applications.

  • Are there any standard web dynpro ABAP or JAVA for material creation(mm41)?

    Hi SDN,
          I have got the requirement to provide Web Dynpro application for material creation (transaction code is MM41) and I would prefer to enhance standard Web Dynpro more than develop from scratch. Now I got only the Web dynpro ABAP component for create sales order called "LO_OIF_MAIN_COMP" and GUI HTML for purchasing order that come with business package Eh4.
          Anyone who know please kindly help me.

    >but I afraid that I'm not able to find out what is its component name from application
    You could just lookup the WD Application in SE80 and then it will show you the component name. From SE80 choose Edit Object from the toolbar. Go to the Web Objects tab in the dialog. Type in the WD Application name and hit enter.  You will then see the details of that application.

  • Transport ESS MSS changes and new web dynpros

    Hi ,
    How do we transport the changes that we  make to ESS/MSS web dynpro screens and how do we transport the new web dynpro applications that we develop?
    Appreciate any suggestions.
    regards
    Sam

    Hi Sejoon,
    Why do you want to copy the DC's to a custom SC. It gives you a lot of problems with references in the WebDynpro's and in the backend customizing.
    The ESS/MSS applications are in a separate business package which you don't need to upgrade whenever you apply a patch to your portal, so there is no administrative effort.
    Also, if you copy the DC's to a custom SC, and you do want to upgrade the package, then you still have to copy the DC again, and redo all your changes.
    Anyway, SAP's recommended approach is described in the NWDI cookbook; it says not to copy the DC's, but change directly in the original.

  • Adobe form taking too much time to render using Web dynpro ABAP

    Dear All,
      we are rendering an Adobe form online to view employee profile, the form is hardly 100KB but it takes 5 minutes to render in the browser. I have checked the performance of abap code and there is no performance issue. the form shows downloaded 100kb ot 100kb and then I get the wait symbol for quite sometime and after a few minutes wait it renders. the form has XML based interface and ZCI layout. I have done a HTTP trace and could not trace out anything, so I suspect it is something to do at the client level.
    Can anyone help me to identify what and where exaclty is the problem.
    Is it with the
    1. Adobe Reader ? - I have adobe X reader
    2. Is it to do with any browser or Adobe reader settings?
    3. Is it do with ADS?
    4. Or any other compatibility issues?
    Any pointers is appreciated. 5 minutes is too long to render a 100 KB form.
    Thanks in Advance.

  • Web Dynpro ABAP Stylesheet - Portal Integration

    We have a Web Dynpro ABAP being displayed through a Portal iView.  The Portal server and the Web Dynpro ABAP server are separate.  Our problem is in getting the Web Dynpro ABAP to use the stylesheet of the Portal.
    We can make this work by forcing an external stylesheet (via application parameters, global Dynpro settings, or passed on the end of the URL), but we have to hard-code the full URI of the Portal stylesheet.  This would be very hard to manage if we hard-code every iView's CSS location (or set every individual Web Dynpro's application parameters), and we want instead for the Portal to supply whatever the user's stylesheet is dynamically. 
    So what we want is: if we change the Portal stylesheet, the Portal would just pass the new stylesheet URI to our ABAP Web Dynpro iViews without manual modification of the iViews.
    Here is an example of what works:
    http://our-abap-server.com/sap/bc/webdynpro/sap/cprojects?sap-ep-themeroot=https://our-portal-server.com/irj/portalapps/com.sap.portal.design.portaldesigndata/themes/portal/ourportalstylesheetname
    Shouldn't the Portal iView automatically pass sap-cssurl or sap-ep-themeroot to Web Dynpro ABAP?  We have "Supply Portal Stylesheet" checked on the iView… it just doesn't pass anything to the Web Dynpro ABAP.  Why wouldn't SAP pass this parameter dynamically to the Web Dynpro ABAPs?  Is this a product error? 
    There seems to be a great deal of confusion about this on the SDN message forums... I think this may be the core issue.
    We are using a 7.0 SP13 Portal with an ECC 6.0 SP12 backend.

    Now that you mention it, I ran into that exact same issue  -- the application parameters didn't work for hard-coding the theme.  The fix ended up being the web server semicolon thing I mentioned earlier (that was why the parameter didn't make it to the backend). 
    The themeroot is automatically sent to the backend from the portal, so you shouldn't really have to manually send it as a parameter anyways.
    I'd suggest talking to your network guys.  Also this could be the result of the SP you are on (we're on 13 for the portal and the backend system -- maybe this feature doesn't work in some earlier SP's?).  There are also some options to force the theme as a WD application parameter on the backend side, which you could check into.  Details on those are here:
    [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/7b/fb57412df8091de10000000a155106/frameset.htm]
    Also you could look at the requests being made by installing HttpAnalyzer in your browser.  You can inspect "post" parameters going from the portal to the backend system.  One of those posts (the first one to the backend system) should contain the parameter sap-cssurl (same kind of thing as sp-ep-themeroot).  This is where our problem turned up as this parameter was not being posted.
    Lastly, make sure that your frontend portal and backend portal are in the same domain.  For instance:
    frontend.domain.com
    backend.domain.com
    If your backend and frontend are in different domains it messes all kinds of things up, including stylesheets I think.  If you can't get around this, then read about domain relaxing (but I highly recommend getting the domains the same).
    When we started, ours were:
    portal.dx.company.com
    sap.company.com
    This created all kinds of problems.  Putting our systems in the same domain with the same protocol and fixing our little semicolon web server problem fixed basically all of our portal complaints.  Up until that time, we had also had many problems with session management (backend sessions were getting stuck until the HTTP timeout).
    That's all I know.   Good luck.

  • [Integration] Web Dynpro ABAP calling Flex in Popup (without Flash Islands)

    Hi,
    We do not intend to install Enhancement Package 1 in a near future.
    Nevertheless, we do have requirements where Flex should be integrated with Web Dynpro ABAP (Flex components embedded or 'attached' to Web Dynpro ABAP applications).
    I would like to open a popup showing a Flex component. Then, the user validates and the Web DYnpro ABAP application is resumed. All this integrated within EP 7.0.
    What, according to you, would be the most effective combination : 
    - Suspend / Resume plug
    - Server-side cookies
    - iFrame (although it is deprecated)
    Given what I have read so far, it seems encapsulating the .swf within a BSP application would be the best shot. Could it be possible to get rid of this 'additional layer' ?
    Thanks in advance.
    Best regards,
    Guillaume

    Web Dynpro ABAP
    Define a suspend and a resume plug.
    BSP
    Retrieve the parameters sent by WDA either by AUTO attributes or the following code
    CONSTANTS: c_resume_name          TYPE string  VALUE `sap-wd-resumeurl`.
    DATA: lt_tihttpnvp                TYPE tihttpnvp.
    FIELD-SYMBOLS: <fs_httpnvp>       LIKE LINE OF lt_tihttpnvp,
                   <fs_dept_magasin>  LIKE LINE OF t_dept_magasins.
    ** Lecture des paramètres envoyés (par le WD ABAP)
    CALL METHOD request->get_form_fields
      CHANGING
        fields = lt_tihttpnvp.
    READ TABLE lt_tihttpnvp ASSIGNING <fs_httpnvp> WITH KEY name = c_resume_name.
    IF sy-subrc = 0.
      e_url = <fs_httpnvp>-value.
    ENDIF.
    Flex
    To return to the Web DYnpro ABAP, call a Javascript function within the BSP using this kind of code :
    jsReturn = ExternalInterface.call("sendBackToSAP", selectedDepartmentsParam, orderParam);
    BSP
    First, to react to the user action in the Flex component, define a Javascript function in the
          function sendBackToSAP(departements, ordre) {
             fireServerEvent(departements, ordre);
             return("Done");
    To fire a server-event (in order for BSP to call the WDA resume plug), I use this declaration :
    <!--  Event used by the Javascript to trigger OnInputProcessing so as to create
                  the server-side cookie -->
           <bsp:htmlbEvent name= "fireServerEvent"
                           id  = "flexAction"
                           p1  = "departements"
                           p2  = "ordre"></bsp:htmlbEvent>
    Last, I simply call the URL that the WDA gives me first :
    navigation->goto_page( e_url ).
    If people are interested in a more detailed presentation, feel free to reply to this post, and I will write a blog about this. Nevertheless, it should become pretty obsolete with the Flash Islands release...

  • About configuration web dynpro abap

    we have ecc5.0 and we cant use web dynpro there. can anyone please tell me how can we use web dynpro there? is it related any sap license related issue? please help me about giving me some knowledge about web dynpro installation and use.
    From web every user should need one sap id or one common id can be use for login through web.

    >please help me about giving me some knowledge about web dynpro installation and use.
    There simply is not option to install or configure Web Dynpro ABAP on ECC 5.0 or earlier. Web Dynpro ABAP is part of the SAP_BASIS Software Component.  The versions of ECC 5.0 and earlier simply didn't contain Web Dynpro ABAP.  It was new in ECC 6.0. 
    If you want to create Web Dynpro applications, consider building a standalone ABAP or Java Application Server as a separate instance.  You can then do Web Dynpro ABAP or Java development on this standalone instance and make RFC and Web Service calls to your older ECC 5.0 system.

  • Modification of Web Dynpro ABAP ESS application

    Hi,
    I'm familiar with the modification process of ESS Web Dynpro Java applications using NWDI. However I have to adda button a view in the "Create Expense Report" iView which is a Web Dynpro ABAP application from ERP 6 Ehp3. On the click of this button a pdf report should be shown. The Web Dynpro ABAP application is FITE_EXPENSES.
    Can anyone tell me what is the process for modifying ESS WD ABAP code? Do I copy and create a new application and then modify?
    I'm not getting any documentation on this on SDN or SAP Help.
    Regards

    hi,
    ->You dont have to copy and create new application.
    -> You can use Enhancement Framework Technology.
    -> Look out for Blogs by Thomas Weiss. They are very useful.
    -> Easiest way out to create new button would be as :
         -> Put your application in display mode.
         -> There is button for Enhancement in the tool bar (Spiral shaped).
         -> Press that button and create a new enhancement.
        -> Now add any UI Element you want to add.
         -> In Enhancement Framework we do have some Post Exit and Pre Exit Methods.
        -> Some Enhancement Points are already given by Standard SAP.
       -> You can write the logic there and activate the Enhancement.
    Check out this link for basic idea about enhancement.

    Please try to avoid modification of WD4As. This is the last resort!
    FITE_EXPENSES uses the WD-Component FITV_FPM_START, there it has the Application Configuration "FITE_EXPENSES". The Application COnfiguration is mapped with the Component Configuration "FITV_FPM_EXPENSES" (this is just for your interest how things are mapped here).
    Bottom line the Application uses the WD-Component FITE_VC_GENERAL_DATA you can open it via TA SE80 as above poster suggested. Here. navigate to Views and open the View GENERAL_DATA_VIEW. Navigate to Tab METHODS, open Hook-Method WDDOMODIFYVIEW. Here you can make an implicit enhancement at the end of the method and dynamically generate a Button in runtime, this would be a cleaner approach than hard modification of the standard Layout.. I reccomend you to consider this!

  • Timer In Web Dynpro ABAP

    Hello,
    Please help in creation of  Count Down Timer for Online Test Application in Web Dynpro ABAP.
    Thanks,
    Sandeep Bhati

    Hi Sandeep,
    You can achieve your requirement as below
    Create context attributes TIME_LEFT  of type TIMS & DELEY of type I
    Create a text view eleemnts to show the time left value and
    Create a TIMED_TRIGGER ui element  and bind the property delay to the context attribute DELEY and create an action REFRESH, bind it to the event onAction
    Set the initial values of context attributes TIME_LEFT & DELAY like below
                        TIME_LEFT = '01:20:00'
                        delay            = 1
    Hence, timer ui element refresheshes each second and you can reduce the value of TIME_LEFT by 1 second to see on application
    You can also refer the below links
    Online quiz time counter in webdynpro?
    also, refer the standard component WDR_TEST_EVENTS and go the view TIMEDTRIGGER
    Hope this helps you.

  • How to add screen elements at run time on button click in Web Dynpro abap?

    Hello All,
    I have a requirement wherein the user wants to add the textbox dynamically at runtime on button click action. My questions is, Is it feasible to dynamically add screen elements at runtime? If yes, how?
    Please help.
    Thanks

    Hi Ajinkya,
    This is absolutely possible! Adding view elements at runtime is called "dynamic programming". There are a lot of good resources and tutorials on SCN if you do a search. To start you off, here is an excellent series by Thomas Szücs:
    Dynamic Programming in Web Dynpro ABAP - Introduction and Part I: Understanding UI Elements
    Dynamic Programming in Web Dynpro ABAP - Part II: Handling ViewElements
    Dynamic Programming in Web Dynpro ABAP - Part III: Aggregations and DDIC-Binding of ViewElements
    Another option that avoids dynamic programming is to create the view element at design time but bind its visible property to a context attribute of type WDUI_VISIBILITY. You could initially set its visibility to "none" until the user clicks the button, then you could change its visibility to "visible".
    Cheers,
    Amy
