HCM Development in Web Dynpro (ABAP)

Hi,
I am working in SRM custom development in Web Dynpro (ABAP). I have to work now with HCM development.
Is it any specific method or procedure to develop/change the Web Dynpro (ABAP) application .I am new to HCM Functional.
Pl help me.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
In the HCM(Humaan Capital management) also there are the related FM ie BAPIs and also the corresponding BOR (business objects) where you can use them in the WDA.
Here the data is stored in Infotypes. Where all the historical records for each employee/organization etc are maintained.
It's better to have an idea on the HCM structure that would be enough in understanding the BAPIs etc.

HCM Processes & Forms: Web Dynpro ABAP Search Helps

Hi,
I was working with new functionality for adding Web Dynpro ABAP Search Helps to HCM P&F. Similar to described in http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/17919. [original link is broken] [original link is broken] [original link is broken]
Can somebody tell me if its possible to submit some custom event round trip to back end SAP_PA and Generci Services after selection is made in the Search Help and "OK" selected. Right now it looks like its just closing help and can not submit any events automaticaly.
Thanks,
Oleg

Hi Oleg
As mentioned on the blog, this functionality was in place but has been 'disturbed' by the latest support packs. I have an OSS request in for this but only since yesterday. Once I get a satisfactory reply, I'll post it here and on my blog.

How to modify themes in web dynpro abap

How can we identify which css file and class are used in web dynpro abap iview ?? I m new to web dynpro abap application. I need to change the look and feel of the page developed in web dynpro abap.
How i can use css files to change the UI of the page and how can i reach to the css file and class of a particular page developed in web dynpro abap. When we run the abap application on browser we don't get view source of it. Please tell me the ways to find the css and class files to modify them

I don't believe that your answer applies to Web Dynpro ABAP. Page with Flog Logic sounds like BSP. Please make sure you are posting about the correct technology.

Web Dynpro ABAP iView Namespace

Easy question here.....we are now developing some web dynpro abap at our company (all other web dynpro has been Java which I understand - ABAP was done by an abap developer).
We settting up the iView there is a required field "Namespace" . When I asked the developer what his namespace was I got a blank look. I've poked around in SE80 (again I'm no expert here I know Java not ABAP).
Would someone tell me how to guide this developer - what do we enter in the Namespace field when creating a Web Dynpro ABAP iView?

HI,
The namespace is sap by default.
You can refer this [help.sap|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/1d/e4a34273f60b31e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm] document to create WDA iview.

Web Dynpro ABAP : Parameter ,start plug and WDDOINIT

Hi,
I'm currently developing a web dynpro abap application which receieves parameters(Work item id).
I can read the content of paramaters in the method start plug of the window and I can store them in the context.
What I want to do is, in the method WDDOINIT of my main view, I want to read the parameter Work item id
The problem is that the WDDOINIT is called after the start plug, So the context is still empty.
I have tried to read the context in the WDDOMODIFY view. There the context is correctly filled but apparently, we can not navigate to another view from the WDDOMODIFY .
Is this normal?
Thanks for your answer

I did find a solution and I wanted to share and validate it.
- I created a event in the COMPONENTCONTROLLER "event_chk_url_params".
- In the view where I use these url parameters, I created a method (event handler) for the above event that checks for the url parameters and fires plugs based on the value of the url parameters.
- From the window's handle default method, where I get all the url parameters, I raise the event in the component controller ... which inturn calls the event handler in the view, which in turn redirects.
Is this the right solution or is there something better then this?

Web Dynpro ABAP...to Portal

Hi Friends,
My question is......is it possible whatever I develop in Web Dynpro ABAP to publish it to portal which is on different server with different SID?
Thanks,
Rajeev Sharma.

ABAP WebDynpro are developed on WAS which has ABAP stack. Portal typically has j2ee engine (java stack) and you only create iViews pointing to the ABAP WebDynpro. There is no deployment on portal unless you have ABAP stack on your portal server.

Is there a way to get Web Dynpro ABAP available in a ECC 5 - NW2004 env?

We will start developing an offline Adobe interactive form with email functionality for ECC 5 on very short terms. We have to decide asap what client/server configuration we will use for this new functionality. We will also develop an online interactive form and an offline form with upload/download functionality for ECC 5. We will have to setup a client/server configuration that supports all 3 scenario's.
The main reason we would like to have NW2004S available for ECC 5 is because we would like to develop the forms in Web Dynpro ABAP instead of Java. Guided Procedures is a "nice to have" too, but not really important at this moment.
At this moment we think we have 3 options:
1. Investigate if we can make an Adobe solution in WDA for ECC 5 with our current setup
2. Upgrade ECC 5 - NW 2004 -> NW 2004S to get WDA functionality available
3. Install ADS for NW 2004 to be able to create Adobe solutions in ECC 5, then we will have to develop in WDJ
1. We have the following configuration up and running: NW2004S - CRM 5 and ADS installed: both Java and ABAP stack work properly. We are wondering if we could develop an Adobe interactive form in Web Dynpro ABAP in CRM 5 using BAPI's to retrieve the data from ECC 5 and put it on the form for display or update purposes. Also we have questions about the email functionality: do forms have to be send by email via a mailserver from ECC 5 via CRM 5 and back or can this be done directly from and to ECC 5 or is it not possible at all? Also we don't know if we can develop an online interactive form for ECC 5 via CRM 5. The current setup is not a real option for us right now as we see far too many uncertainties. Does somebody can give us some answers on the possibilities we are looking for?
2. My assumption is that upgrading ECC5 to ECC6 can be compared with upgrading 46C to ECC5. If my assumption is correct, this would mean an upgrade project with a 6 months leadtime within our company. If my assumption is wrong, please let me know. This upgrade will happen some day, but it has not been planned for 2007. So unfortunately, for us this is not an option at the moment because we cannot wait that long. I was hoping an upgrade of NW2004 -> NW2004s was not that time consuming but I guess this can be compared with a SAP upgrade project like 46C -> ECC 5.
3. Installing Adobe Document Services for NW2004 is not our preferred solution but we think it is the safest/easiest solution at this moment to get started with Adobe interactive forms for ECC 5 on short terms. We will have to develop in Web Dynpro for Java, so be it.
WDA is not a must but if we can find a client/server setup which gives us the possibility to build in WDA for ECC 5 functionality, that would be great. That's why I dropped the question on SDN. I want to be sure we choose the best option possible at this moment for us.
kind regards
Angelique

Yesterday I got new information through SDN which sounds very interesting:
There are technical repository integration points between ECC and the underlying SAP NetWeaver release. To get Web Dynpro for ABAP, you could install a stand-alone SAP NetWeaver 2004s system (without ERP) side-by-side.
Somebody else wrote: we set up a 3-system landscape of NW04s and have configured single sign on and trusted RFC's so that users can hit the webdynpro pages via the portal, and those systems make the necessary queries to the backend systems via RFC.
Does somebody know if this stand-alone system could be a proper solution for our situation? Does somebody foresee any problems related to Adobe LiveCycleDesigner or ADS?

Web Dynpro ABAP in SAP E-Recruiting

Hi,
We just imported SP8 for our SAP E-Recruiting 6.0. SP8 offers Web Dynpro ABAP as candidate UI. One question we have is how WD pages incorporated for recruiters who still use BSP pages. For example, when a recruiter logs into E-Recruiting and finds a specific candidate, he/she can click on "Candidate Profile" to get to that candidate's pages. In BSP technology, recruiter actually uses exactly the same pages that candidate uses for Work Experience, Education, etc.. With candidate UI using WD technology, does recruiter use the same WD pages when displaying candidate profile information? I have been searching all the possible places, such as IMG, SICF, in order find a spot so that I can set the switch on, but so far unsuccessful.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Li

Hi Li ,
At best of my understanding in WD ABAP , its possible to make one WebDynpro page serving same purpose ( showing profile deatils ) visible for manty( Candidate , as well as Recruiter ) ....
I would like to know what exactly you want from web Dynpro ..then I will be in better position to tell you.
FYI ...
1) Web Dynpro ABAP
As the name suggests Web Dynpro for ABAP uses exactly the same meta model as its cousin Web Dynpro for Java. A Web Dynpro component, a Web Dynpro view, a Web Dynpro model, a Web Dynpro controller have the same semantics both for ABAP and Java. The main difference is the designtime environment, the development infrastructure and the runtime environment.
The designtime environment is properly embedded in the ABAP Workbench where Web Dynpro artifacts are simply a new category like BSP applications or classical dynpro based applications before. Also no surprises regarding the development infrastructure. The correction and transport system keeps track on all changes that are done, versions them and helps to propagate the Web Dynpro application from development to production like you would do with ordinary BSP or dynpro-based applications.
Last not least the execution platform is the ABAP server that produces application content ready to be integrated in the NetWeaver Portal seamlessly. Features like portal eventing can be used between applications written in ABAP or applications developed with Java.
2 ) I can give you links that can help you a lot.
First of all start doing SAP SDN tutorials .
Create some compenents with BAPI , Component usage and ALV .
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/02e1fa45-0801-0010-10a0-f1cf47e8c943
/people/marilyn.pratt/blog/2005/12/20/web-dynpro-for-abap
Try to Download demo tutorials from SDN library & Try to search WebDynpro ABAP WebLogs .
Wait not just that SAP has provided you with ample demo example of WD ABAP already bundled with SAP . Just Try out Components starting with WDR . I can tell you few like WDR_TEST_EVENTS ( It shows how every UI elments to use )
See packages like SWDP_DEMO , SALV_WD_DEMO
there are many more .

Web Dynpro ABAP - Java stack required?

Hey everyone,
We are currently planning an upgrade to ECC 6.0 and Netweaver 2004s. A source of debate during this planning has been whether or not to install the Java stack in our upgraded system.
I'm an ABAP developer, so I'm really looking forward to using Web Dynpro ABAP. Does anyone know if the Java stack is required to effectively use Web Dynpro ABAP? It seems like the two should be independent...but I just want to be sure.
Thanks in advance!!
Chad

No, you do not need the java stack to run WDA applications. It runs purely on the ABAP stack. You can develop your WDA app in SE80 and run it. It will run in a browser from the ABAP stack. If you have a portal, then you know that this runs on the java stack. Also, your portal is probably not running on the same box as your backend ERP system. If you running a portal, I would suggest installing both the java stack as well as the ABAP stack for you portal to run on. Then you will be able to use WDA to create applications to run in your portal.
So to sum up, the portal runs on the java side, if you have both stacks running under your portal you can development WDA and WDJ applications, which both can run on that same engine. To answer you question, you DON'T need the java stack to develop and run your WDA application, but if you want it to run in a portal, then you need a java stack to run the portal on top of. This can be a completly separate box and a standalone java stack. Did I confuse you even more?

Web Dynpro Java to Web Dynpro ABAP

Hi all,
I am a web dynpro java developer with more than 3 years of portal development experience.
I am now put into a project with web dynpro ABAP(ESS/MSS customization).
Would like to know whether I should start concentrating more on ABAP or SAP HR?
I dont have any ABAP programming exp except that attended a training few years back.
And on SAP HR,dont have much exp except that have some knowledge on ESS customization in dynpro java.
Please let me know where I should start to get myself refreshed before starting my work.
Any advice/docs are invited.
Also,please let me know whether there is any NWDI required for ESS/MSS customization in webdynpro ABAP.
Thanks
Meena

Hi Meena,
As you have good experience of Web Dynpro JAVA.
I think you just need to comcentrate on ABAP skills.
You need not concentrate on SAP HR as ur work is technical your functional guys will take care of HR module and will help you.
For starting i would suggest you to just go through the basics of ABAP like Work areas , internal tables etc.
Then start doing some WD ABAP hands on.
My scenario is similar.
I am a portal and WD JAVA person and this is my first WD ABAP assignment.
I followed the above approach.
You will find many concepts similar to WD JAVA as this is just the ABAP flavour of Web Dynpro.
The below link will help you a lot

I hope it helps.

Web Dynpro ABAP: Assigning of Conversion Exits in ALV

Hi,
We are currently developing a generic data display application using ALV technology in Web Dynpro ABAP. "Generic" means that the structure of the data is created dynamically during runtime (using RTTS) and that even the contained data elements are created dynamically without any relation to DDIC. The generation is based on metadata like field name, data type, length, decimals, conversion exit.
Our problem is that we were not able to find a way to assign the conversion exit of a data element ("column") in Web Dynpro ALV. Without this feature, no output conversions will take place since the data elements have no relation to DDIC. In the "classical" ALV, this could be easily done using method SET_EDIT_MASK of class CL_SALV_COLUMN.
Is there a similar method in WebDynpro ALV or at least an alternative approach to assign a conversion exit to a column or cell?
Thanks for your help in advance.
Best Regards,
Sven

Hello Sven Hader,
As you said you are generatiing the metadata like field name, data type, length, decimals, conversion exit dynamically.
Can you please let me know how you are diong this?
Meanwhile, you can try this approach to assign a Conversion exit to ALV Table column attribute dynamically.

              lv_mode_ext2int          type   ESEBOOLE. "Conversion mode that you are in

        state               =   iv_object_state
        langu               =   iv_langu
      IMPORTING
        dd04v_wa         =   lv_data
      EXCEPTIONS
        illegal_input       = 1
        OTHERS           = 2.
    CHECK NOT lv_data-convexit IS INITIAL.
    CONCATENATE 'CONVERSION_EXIT_' lv_data-convexit '_INPUT'
      INTO cl_im_imp_ehs_material_erp=>mv_conversion_exit_input.
    CONCATENATE 'CONVERSION_EXIT_' lv_data-convexit '_OUTPUT'
      INTO cl_im_imp_ehs_material_erp=>mv_conversion_exit_output.
IF lv_mode_ext2int = 'X'.
    ASSIGN cl_im_imp_ehs_material_erp=>mv_conversion_exit_input
        TO <lv_funcname>.
ELSE.
    ASSIGN cl_im_imp_ehs_material_erp=>mv_conversion_exit_output
        TO <lv_funcname>.
ENDIF.
(3) call the conversion exit
CHECK <lv_funcname> IS ASSIGNED.
TRY.
      CALL FUNCTION <lv_funcname>
        EXPORTING
          input = iv_value
        IMPORTING
          output = ev_value.
      IF sy-subrc <> 0.
      ENDIF.
    CATCH cx_sy_dyn_call_illegal_func
          cx_sy_dyn_call_illegal_type

I hope it should work.

Web dynpro Abap generated URLs - Namespace vs Alias

Hi,
We have developped web dynpro abap applications on two systems that both have to be exposed to our external users in production. We would like to provide a unique host for the two systems by using an appliance in front dispatching the request to the correct system based on differences in URL.
As all generated URLS are in the following format:
/sap/bc/webdynpro/sap/z_test
/sap/public/bc/ur/nw7/js/domainrelax.js
/sap/public/bc/ur/nw7/js/autorelax.js
We would like to be able to modify the first tag (/sap) for something else either by renaming it or by adding some other layer in front of it in order to get:
/nwa/sap/bc/webdynpro/sap/z_test
/nwa/sap/public/bc/ur/nw7/js/domainrelax.js
/nwa/sap/public/bc/ur/nw7/js/autorelax.js
We thought we could use an external alias on one of our systems in order to change the generated url of that system but it does not work as we expected. When we call our web dynpro application using the external alias, it correctly renames the application bath but all other urls stay the same:
/nwa/sap/bc/webdynpro/sap/z_test
/sap/public/bc/ur/nw7/js/domainrelax.js
/sap/public/bc/ur/nw7/js/autorelax.js
What could we do in order to have all URLs generated by an ABAP system either renamed or prefixed by something else?
Thank you very much for your help!
Regards,
Renaud
