Extend or delegate ABAP OO class

Hi,
How could I extend or delegate ABAP OO class in workflow. I have a scenario whereby I make copy of Standard workflow WS61000090 which uses ABAP class as workflow Objects. In one of the task, I need to put my logic with zmethod. I am in ECC 6.0 environment.
Any Help is appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi Bijay,
I encountered the same problem previously with leave requests (WS12300111) whose class (CL_PT_REQ_WF_ATTRIBS) was marked as final so I couldn't change or extend it. In addition, the workflow triggering logic coudn't be touched.
Thus, I had two options:
1. Create custom class for leave requests
- in this option I would have had to rewrite the CL_PT_REQ_WF_ATTRIBS class and instantiate it in my workflow
2. Create static class for leave request utilities
- in this option I created a static (=no instances to be created) class with a few static methods with e.g. the request ID as an import parameter
- and called the methods from my workflow
I chose to go with option 2 since I only had a few methods I needed and was under time constraints. If there would then be other needs in the future for extracting/updating leave request data the class would then allow for further enhancements.
I don't know what would be the most elegant way of going forward, but at least for me the static class/methods approach has worked all right. It just feels kind of silly to make a custom class completely rewriting the original abap class functionality to make it work. Especially because there might be upgrade changes to the class in the future...
Best regards,
Mikko

Acces dynamic configuration variable (e.g. filename) in ABAP mapping class

Hi experts
I am searching for a possibility to acces a dynamic configuration variable (DCV) in an ABAP mapping class. Since I could not find a solution in SDN and other sources, I hope somebody in this forum can help me.
What I already found is the following code which can be used to set a DCV, but what I would be interested in is how to read a DCV.
Any help is appreciated.

How can I call a ABAP proxy class from BADI? PLease help

hi Experts,
    I have a scenario where I have to call a ABAP proxy class from a BADI. How can I do this? Does anybody has sample code for the same?
Please help.
Thanks
Gopal

Hi,
   You can call a method of a class from BADI. Here are the steps.
   1) In the BADI implementation create a object for the proxy class.
   2) Call the Execute_Synchronous method.
    You can define a BADI by using SE18 and you can implement it by using SE19.
Sample code...
================================================
METHOD ZIF_EX_VBADI~CONVERTUPPER.
DATA: OBJ TYPE REF TO ZTESTCLASS.
DATA: IT_DATA TYPE ZIN_MT,
            IT_RES   TYPE ZOUT_MT,
            SEXCEPTION TYPE REF TO CX_AI_SYSTEM_FAULT.
TRY.
      CREATE OBJECT OBJ
         EXPORTING
             LOGICAL_PORT_NAME = 'TESTPORT'.
CATCH CX_AI_SYSTEM_FAULT INTO SEXCEPTION.
ENDTRY.
ENDMETHOD.
================================================

How to use CL_PROXY_BASIS instead of CL_PROXY_CLIENT your ABAP Proxy class?

Hello experts,
I have a scenario where a new basis release was done in my development and testing SAP boxes (Basis Release 710 I believe) which means from then on when generating an ABAP Proxy class the inheriting class will be used is CL_PROXY_CLIENT as opposed to the previous CL_PROXY_BASIS.
This causes a problem though because the target date for the project, which uses this ABAP proxy, is supposed to be in the production system before the date when the basis release will be done in the production system. Obviously this will cause delays in my project since if I were to move my objects to production before the basis release a dump/syntax error will occur in production because the class CL_PROXY_CLIENT is not expected be production yet.
The next plan is to try to use CL_PROXY_BASIS instead of CL_PROXY_CLIENT, by editing my ABAP Proxy Class be force. My question is, what steps do I need to take so that I can change these classes so CL_PROXY_BASIS will be referenced/used instead of CL_PROXY_CLIENT ?
I hope to hear from all of you soon.
Regards

XML to internal table conversion within ABAP mapping class

I am doing a ABAP mapping for file to Idoc. My requirement is to convert XML file into ABAP internal table (within ABAP mapping class). Is there any standard FM, method, transformation etc, which can be used here.

ABAP proxy class - data structure

I generated a ABAP Proxy Class and the data structure I want to use is put automatically under item structure which has 0...unbounded type.
1. How can I get rid of this item structure as it will create another unnecessary level for my mapping
2. If my source structure has only 3 level, and the target structure has more than 3 (including item), how to map it?
e.g.
Source structure: Level 1(occurrence 1) > Level 2(1)> Level 3(0..1)
Target structure: Level 1(1])--> Level 2(0...1) --> item (0..unbounded) ---> Level 4(0..1)
I need to map level 3 from my source to level 4 in target, but it didn't seem to work.
Thanks.

--->1. How can I get rid of this item structure as it will create another unnecessary level for my mapping
You can delete the proxy at Application Server.....make necessary changes at XI Message Interface and again generate the proxy...
-->Source structure: Level 1(occurrence 1) > Level 2(1)> Level 3(0..1)
Target structure: Level 1(1])--> Level 2(0...1) --> item (0..unbounded) ---> Level 4(0..1)
For this you need to make use of context change features of XI Mapping.

Custom proces type based on ABAP OO class

Hy,
I have a process type and in one method of its asoociated ABAP OO class I have to check if their process chains are running or not.
I know how to make the tests, but the problem is that I have to integrate them in one method. I'm lookink for a solution to adapt the process type from :
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/509f3ae6-e36e-2910-48a8-ab43dc167dd9
Any suggestions about what should I keep or not and in which method should I put my tests?
Thank you.

Hello,
Sorry, not sure where my brain was. Actually I do know: at two clients with projects going live this month, so apologies for a rushed and inaccurate response. It's CL_SWF_EVT_EVENT.
Jocelyn's blog I referred to includes a code sample using the same class on how to raise an event with an object key.
Regarding your second question: No you don't need to do any binding. Just use an instance of your object and it will wait for an event with the same key. The WF part is very straightforward and works exactly like BOR, it's just raising event that can't be done with the WAPI.
Cheers,
Mike

ABAP OO Class and Change Documents

I have created a class based on the IF_WORKFLOW interface. I created a couple of events. I created a workflow task assigned to a custom method of the class. I setup the Material Change Document to trigger the class event when there is a change. The workflow task does trigger when I change a material, but I don't know how to pass the key of the Change Document (matnr) to the workflow task/method using the ABAP OO Class interface. Any help?
Thanks,
Kenneth

Thanks for the reply Florin. Yes, I have seen Joclyn Dart's Whitepaper and blogs. They are very helpful, but I haven't seen much information within them about Change Documents. I tried your suggestions, but the material key is still not being filled when I trigger the change document and workflow task using tcode MM02.
Here is what I have done:
Created an Attribute 'Material' type mara-matnr and checked 'Key Attribute'.
Created an Attribute M_POR type SIBFLPOR.
Here are the methods:
Constructor with parameter 'Material' *
METHOD constructor.
me->m_por-catid = 'CL'.
me->m_por-typeid = 'ZMM_WF_MATTEC'.
me->m_por-instid = me->material.
ENDMETHOD.
Find_by_lpor with parameters LPOR and RESULT (default params) *
METHOD bi_persistent~find_by_lpor.
DATA: p_material TYPE matnr.
MOVE lpor-instid TO p_material.
TRY.
      CREATE OBJECT result
        TYPE
          zmm_wf_mattec
        EXPORTING
          material      = p_material.
    CATCH cx_bo_error .
      EXIT.
ENDTRY.
LPOR with parameter RESULT (default param) *
method BI_PERSISTENT~LPOR.
result = me->m_por.
endmethod.
ENDMETHOD.
Custom method MAT_CHANGED with parameter 'Material' * (not coded yet)
This is the task being triggered by the Change Documents *
METHOD mat_changed.
ENDMETHOD.

How to enter Enhancement Mode of ABAP OO Classes: Add Methods, Pre-Methods.

Hello,
do you know how to enter the enhancement mode of the class builder?
I want to enhance a standard global ABAP OO class by implicit enhancements for inserting methods, attributes or pre- and post-methods - as described in <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/58/4fb541d3d52d31e10000000a155106/content.htm">Online help</a>.
I start the SE24 on my NW 7.0, but there is no menu Edit-> Enhancement Operations-> Enhance Class/Interface as written in <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/86/b83142680d5c33e10000000a155106/content.htm">Online Help</a>.
When I press the Display button, there is no enhancement button (the spiral), and the sub entries of menu Edit-> Enhancement Operations, like Insert Pre-Method are inactive (gray).
In SE80 I don't find them too. The only implicit enhancements I found are on the beginning and end of methods implementation code.
Do you have experience enhancing classes?
Best regards
Michael Umlauff

Hallo Michael,
You first have to go in se80 or se24
Then menu Class-> Enhance
Then you will be able to use Edit-> Enhancement Operations-> Insert Pre-Post Methodes

Integration of BOR functionality into a ABAP-OO Class

Hi together,
we are planning a WebDynpro application in which we are using about ten ABAP-OO classes. The functionality of that classes are using BOR-Objects. Since we are using the M-V-C pattern, we like to create Entities, e.g. "Business Partner" within our model. There is already a BOR "BP" existing. We like to use this BOS-Object for implementing the ABAP-OO Entity Class. By doing it that way, we are sure that the new object will satisfy any SAP compliance.
Is there a standard way to integrate the functionality of BOR-Objects into an ABAP-OO Class?
Best regards
Thomas Wetzler

Hi,
have a look how SAP is handling this, for example in class CL_ATTACHMENT_LIST.
There is an include CNTN01_SWC with the definitions of the data-types and macros you need to handle the BOR-objects and containers.
Include this in the local class-implementations of your global class. Then you can handle the BOR-objects inside the methods as usual.
Regards
Dirk

How to indicate a message by a planning function type in an ABAP-OO-Class

Hello,
I integrated a message with following statement " MESSAGE i003(upf1) WITH v1 v2." in an ABAP-OO-Class, which is used by a Planning Function Type. The function type works but it´s not indecated after executing the Planning Sequence, neither from web template nor in the planning modeller.
Does anybody know this problem/behavior?
Thank for response
Andreas

Hi Joerg,
how about this:
data: l_dummy type char100.
MESSAGE i003(upf1) WITH v1 v2 into l_dummy.
i_r_msg->add_msg( ).
You do not need to take special care about the variables. Just raise the message as you want it to be raised. The only thing you need to do is to raise the message into a string (..into l_dummy). The interface IF_RSPLFA_MSG and the implemetation of add_msg is going to read the standard message variables (SY-MSGNO, SY-MSGID, SY-MSGTY, MSGV1 ...). You just need to throw the message
and call i_r_msg->add_msg( ) e.g. in the execute method of your customer planning function.
Please give it a try and take a look at it in the debugger.
Hope this helps.

Terminating event and abap oo class

Hi, gurus,
I 'd like to know how the terminating event works.
for example, i define a custom abap oo class (which has been implemented the interface of IF_WORKFLOW), and i want to use it as the terminating event of a standard task.
could you please tell me how does it works?
1. there must be an instance defined in the container of the task?
which must be instanciated in the run time?
2. then in another abap report, i simply raise the event defined as the terminating event, using the same key, then the pending task will be terminated?
could you pls provide more information on this ?
thanks and best regards.
Jun

Hi Jun Zhang,
An event that is used to stop a workflow or task, or change the behavior of an already started workflow is called Terminating Event.
If the event linkage is active and the linkage rules are satisfied, the status of the work item is set to COMPLETED.
Defining Event Linkage Terminating event linkage consists of 2 parts.
Type linkage which specifies business object type, event name, generic name for event receiver (WORKITEM for terminating events of tasks or EVENTITEM for wait for event steps)
Instance linkage which identifies the particular receivers (I.e. work item Ids) per object instance.
Terminating event linkages can be seen in SWE3.
For terminating events, along with Business object and Event a Container Element should be specified that holds the Object Instance.
Terminating Event for Workflow is available from Release 6.10 only. This is defined in Basic Data of Workflow Builder.
Binding Definition is optional for Terminating Events. Binding can be defined b/n event container and workflow container to pass event information to the workflow if required. That is the only way of passing information from an asynchronous method to the task that started it.
Thanks and Regards,
Prabhakar Dharmala

Extending System Center Operations Manager Classes & Discovery SCOM 2007 R2

I want to add some additional attributes to SCOM that are populated from information in another database.....for example.
I have a CMDB that contains information about the support level for each server (i.e. gold, silver, bronze), i want to be able to display this information in the SCOM console. This needs to cover both Windows and Unix/linux servers.
I have played around with creating a custom MP and have created a new class, and custom script discovery using a vbscript to query the CMDB SQL database containing the info that i want....I have got to the point where i can see the new column in SCOM console
but cannot get it to populate with any data.
any help would be appreciated.
thanks

Recursion in abap proxy class

Hi experts.
I create an abap proxy class via SE80, because we won't use XI. After import a local WSDL file, I generated the proxy class. But my problem is I can't active it. I see there are many errors in warings tab, they are 'Item is part of recursion'. Any one knows how to solve these problem?

Hi,
Kindly inspect wsdl and you will find data type which is referring to itself. Such recursion in my knowledge not yet supported. Possible workaround is to download wsdl and modify tags to remove recursive effect (may be create a copy of tag give another name and then refer it as data type).
