Estimation of ABAP development taska

Hi all
is there anu specifik methode for estimation of ABAP dvelopment tasks.
for example how should one etimate how long a program will take whether it is a report or a function or otheres.
Thanks.

No Dear,
There is no such tool. Only Experience counts.
In General, we give maximum 3 days development effort for a ordinary report program.
rest depends upon the objects requirement to be used in the code.

Task of ABAP Developer in standard reports

Hi friends,
I know standard reports in SD..Is there any role played by the abaper in using those standand reports? Can abap developer customise those standard reports...or abap developer only do the reports from scratch depending on the requirement ( coding in se38). Is there anything done by using standard reports? Plz clarify my doubt...Thanks in advance.
Regards,

Hi Reddy,
Yes, ABAP developer can modify the standard programs if the access key is provided by the basis guys for that specific standard program.Sometime standard programs do not meet the client's business requirment.
In that scenarios ABAP developer need to modify the standard program.
Hope this helps.
Please reward if useful.
Thanks,

ABAP Development Estimate

Hello,
I have user request to develop a custom ABAP program that would combine the following:
1. Credit Master Data, Limits and Exposure data from FD33.
2. VA05 Order Backlog data
3. KE30 PA Report showing sales by customer and sales area.
4. A/R data from F.21
all in a new custom program. I have quoted an estimate on the number of days it
would take to design, code and test this development but I would like some external feedback from the ABAP community on how long this development would take.
Can you provide just some rough estimates on how long it would take an ABAP developer to write a program to combine all this information in a ALV report.
The user would want to select and filter all this data by customer number and sales org,distribution channel and division.
Thanks
chris

Hi Chris,
The estimate depends upon the complexcity of the issue or the design. Some companies have ABAP effort estimation tool which gives a rough figure of the total number of days required to develop a object based on the complexcity of the object.
Try to analyze and see how many database select is required, how many screens to be developed, how complex is the list output and how many test scenarios have to considered in unit testing. All these factor will contribute to determine how long it would take to develop an object. It also depends on the skill set your team has. If a person who is good in SAP SCRIPT would take less number of days to develop the script if its assigned to him. So it all depends on what kind of object you have to develop and its complexcity.

Estimation for ABAP project

Dear all,
We have an ABAP project, how can you estimate total of effort we spend to complete them. Please guide me some ways to estimate the ABAP development project ?
By the way, I want to know how to measure the productivity of a ABAP developer ?. What metric should we base on ?
For example: in VB or C++ projects, we measure productivity of developers base on number of code lines per day.
Please help me or guide me some measurement method.
Thank you.
VuPN

Hi Pham,
In some development projects I had worked, we used to follow this many metrics but I remember only few:)).
i) To know the total work estimate: You can take all the objects that you have developed and first make a complexity review. There you have to determine if the object is Simple, Medium, Hard or Complex, Very complex. This is a very relative term to establish. Hence use a standard approach in looking at the complexities may be by carrying a Complexity review template/ guideline, jotting all the points and take a weighted average as per their relevance and significance of them to the total delivery.
Now you have a total complexity review done. Just find out if a same kind of project had been done anywhere else and find out what was the number of hours/days spent for each of this degrees of complexities. Say low is 24 hours, medium takes 40 hours, blah blah. Break it down to the level of Technical design, coding, reviews, etc. Now you have a total estimate done. However you should never get biased with actuals as you already have while caluclating the estimates.
ii) Now it is easier to find the productivity as you can find out what was the estimated time to complete and how much did each developer take to complete the job.
Generally the estimates must be done in the initial phase of the project. Also these are very minimal number of metrics which I am trying to tell you. But there is a huge number of them and you could find it out from any quality expert may be auditing software projects for CMM, etc.

Srikanth

Time estimation for WDA development

Hi All,
do anybody have some estimation for WDA development objects? i mean depending on critical level as Very Simple, Simple, Medium, Complex and Very Complex.
please let me know how we can estimate the work on WDA devl. objects?
if anybody have the documentation/tool on this please let me know. if possible please send the same on my email - [email protected]
Regards,
Chandra

Hi Chandrashekhar Mahajan ,
 Based on my last 6 months experience I will say Time estimation for WebDynpro ABAP based on
1) Number of View
2) Complexity of UI elements involved in Development ( Take case if you want ALV rows with same content to be clubbed , or On click of alv change in Business Graphics element like Gantt Chart )
3) Complexity of Business process and Extent to which client want it to automate.4) another issues is Documentation of WD ABAP objects , as in case of WD ABAP object documentation approach entirely different from conventional ABAP documentation.
5) Understanding of client Business process , visualizing it and designing it in Web Dynpro context
6) How much information you have about data you want put in context and with which database tables , fields , R/3 servers it has interaction.

Debugging is not working in R/3 from WebDynpro-ABAP developed webpage input

Dear Friends,
We are facing a serious problem for debugging. Expecting valuable input for the same.
Debugging is not working in R/3 from WebDynpro-ABAP developed webpage input in Production Server.
The debugging (for WebDynpro-ABAP application) is working in Dev. Server for
1st ] Within R/3
Ex. debug for bapi within R/3. i.e. value enter as input in R/3 only.
2nd ] From webpage to R/3
Ex. Some input given on the internet web page developed through WebDynpro and external breakpoint set in R/3 it works. It directs to R/3 code through debugging.
In Prod. Server the 1st case above is working but the 2nd case is not working.
In Prod. Server the WebDynpro developed applications are running successfully through internet explorer webpage inputs. So running the application is not a problem in prod. Server but debugging of the same is the problem.
The setting which are done in Prod. server are,
1] RZ10 in parameters are set for port and host name.
2.1] In SMICM check for ICM.
2.2] Host file updated in Windows-System 32.
3] In SICF following services are active,
3.1] default_host/sap/bc/webdynpro
3.2] default_host/sap/public/bc
3.3] default_host/sap/public/bc/webdynpro/viewdesigner
3.4] default_host/sap/bc/wdvd
3.5] default_host/sap/public/icman
3.6] default_host/sap/bc/gui/sap/its/webgui
3.7] default_host/sap/public/ping
3.8] default_host/sap/bc/error
3.9] default_host/sap/bc/echo
4] In SE80
4.1] Internet services-System-are published
4.2] Internet services-WEBGUI-are published
4.3] Utilities-Setting-ABAP Editor-Debugging-Username & New Debugger set.
4.4] Utilities-Setting-ABAP Editor-Editor-Front-End Editor(New) set.
5] In Su01 for user profiles sap_all & sap_new is assigned and role SAP_BC_WEBSERVICE_DEBUGGER is assigned.
6] The support packages are also updated to latest level.
7] Gone through following links but not getting any clues.

How can I connect with SAP NetWeaver 7.01 SR1 SP3 ABAP Developer Edition

Hello together,
I downloaded and installed the SAP NetWeaver 7.01 SR1 SP3 ABAP Developer Edition on a virtual client.
I toke a long period to finish the installation.
Now some questions to use this system in the right way:
1.) How can I get a "developer license" which do not expire? Because the link http://www.sap.com/minisap seems to be not ok.
2.) How can I connect via network with the sap system? the application server is running on a vm client with a static ip i.e. 192.168.1.5. And my laptop gets a ip in the same range. I have installed the gui on my laptop and tried to connect with the system. But it does not work! I used as application server the ip of the virtual machine. I use the gui witch is installed on the same host like the application it works (with localhost as application server adress)
3.) Where can I download the newest version of the SAP Gui? I do not have a service marktplace account? Is it possible?
4.) I read in the documentation that it should be possible to reach the sap system also with web dynpro: http://localhost:8000/sap/bc/gui/sap/its/webgui?sap-client=000
But it does not work. I got an error message: Service cannot be reached
Note
The termination occurred in system NSP with error code 403 and for the reason Forbidden.
The selected virtual host was 0 .
Regards
Christian

I fixed in the meantime the second problem. It was a problem with my local firewall. But the other three points are still open.
Thank in advance for your help

Abap development possible in B1 version

Dear Team
I wanted to find out whether SAP B1 version will allow us to do Abap development ?
If yes , any configuration to be carried out
Plz reply soonest
Regards
Chelian.M
FICO Consultant

Hi, That is not possible. The Application Middleware in R/3 or ECC or SAP Suite requires ABAP programming to interface with BASIS. There is no such architecture in SAP Business One - SAP B1 requires programming of UI, DI and Java DI interfaces which is done through VB, .net, C# or Java DI Webservices Interface programming. So there is no ABAP in SAP B1.

ABAP Development certification

Hi all;
I am certified as a support consultant for incident management for SAP business all in one, but I am thinking of having a career in ABAP Development, because I am into programming more.
I have good basics in ABAP but I wanted to know how long it would take me to be an associate developer in ABAP, and what material I need to cover in order to make sure that I pass the exam with the code: C_TAW12_70
Any advice will be great
~ Amal

Hi,
See this link for all the areas you need to cover:
http://www.sap.com/services/education/certification/certificationtest.epx?context=[[C_TAW12_70|G]]|
You would have to do all of these courses, and/or gain equivalent experience. That might take 2-3 years.
The test itself is not that hard, so you might still get through after somewhat less experience. It is a multiple choice exam.
cheers & good luck!
Paul

ABAP development in a non-unicode system

Does anyone have a "list of abap development considerations" when developing ABAP in a 4.6C system to also be sensitive to an upcoming UNICODE conversion project, that is, What do I need to be sensitive to concerning unicode when developing in a non-unicode 4.6C system to make the upgrade to unicode of these programs easier .

You can check the documents available at market place.
service.sap.com/unicode under section
Sap netweaver-> Sap Netweaver in Detail -> Application Platform -> Unicode -> ABAP and Unicode Library.
There is one document which is specifically related to 4.6c (Vorbereitung von ABAP Programmen für Unicode in 4.6C/D) but its in German.
You can go through the other documents and see whichever is applicable for 4.6c

ABAP Development Video legal question

Dear Community,
We would like to create something like a video tutorial for ABAP development for the beginner level based on the flight data model. We might simply put it on our websites unrestriced area, membership area or we might sell this as a product.
The system we are using for this beginner level development activity is the Netweaver Trial version, this is more then enough for this purpose.
Here comes the question; In the license agreement of the Netweaver ABAP Trial version there is this sentence:
"The SOFTWARE PRODUCT is "NOT FOR PRODUCTION USE". You may not demonstrate, test, examine, evaluate or otherwise use the Software Product in a live operating environment or with data that has not been sufficiently backed up. "
I do not fully understand this sentence. Would our activity considered as "production usage" and we might get legal troubles, or a commercial video tutorial is ok?
If we have a problem here, what could be the workaround? Subscription for a system hosted by SAP or maybe subsciption for a cheaper hosting like eg. www.michaelmanagement.com ?
I would really appreciate your oppinion.
Thanks,
Jozep

Yes, but only if you spend the future value 2 euro cents in dollars, and I don't think that Ryan Air is going to be stooping that low..

What about screenshots of all the source code? Or a video of it at runtime?

ABAP Development and "End User License"

Hi all,
I'm happy to join to SDN!!!
I newbe in the forum, and therefore I don't know if I post in the right section.
I'm a Netweaver Architect and ABAP Developer.
In the past I worked as java developer, and with other programming languages.
I have a doubt: is it possible (or forbidden by SAP AG??) to develop an ABAP package (which, obiousvly, contains Z / Y Abap objects) and apply an "End User License" on it, i.e. on the ABAP code written? (I mean that the copryrights are mine, and I give an "End User License" to my customers (that buy the license), in order to get and run my abap code). I would avoid to sell my Abap package, but, if possibile, I would only give it according a "Use License".
May I do this thing without any problems, or have I to consider other aspects, like ask to SAP to reserve a namespace, or obtain SAP Netweaver certification for my ABAP solution, or other things?
(Infact the "End User License" that I mean is different from "SAP End User License")
Please, let me know your opinion and how or who could solve my matter.
Many thanks to all.
Best Regards,
Albert
