Help screen for MII application?

I am part of a team that is developing a pretty big and complicated system built with .irpt pages and MII applets, queries, displays and transactions.
Does MII offer a way to build a custom help screen, similar to Microsoft's HTML help? How have creators of other MII applications done their help screens? Are there any examples to look at?
Thanks in advance!

MII does not offer a special tool for creating help pages. You can use any tool for building dynamic web pages that you would also use to build your application, even external tools like Adobe Flex to create nice screens.
I once created a PDF User Guide which I linked into the User Navigation, so users can read it online or print it easily if needed. You may create help buttons that open small help pop ups.
Perhaps other users can share there ideas?

Solutions for creating and printing barcode for MII application

Hi all,
We need some help on solution about barcode creating and printing for MII applications. Would be greatly appreciated for any suggestions about the best option.
Our client is running MII 12.x. They also use Crystal Report. They don't have a lot of SAP resources and hence don't want to create Barcode using SAP smart forms. The new application requires reports to be printed out with barcode attached to it. The following are some options that we have identified:
1. Using Bartender software. MII will provide a XML file and feed to the software. The software can print out the content with the label.
2. Create a customized action block to create and store barcode on the server. Using a HTML page to display all the content with the jpeg/png version of the barcode. Print out through IE.
Any other options will be good too. Thanks in advanced for your responses.
Best regards,
UMeng

Thanks for the suggestion.
One concern I have is this package is developed for v12.0. According to SAP, these action blocks will work in 12.1 but not in 12.2. I've tried to install it on 12.2. The configuration dialog are not working properly.
Have anybody succefully implemented this package on 12.2?
Best regards,
Arnold

How to Restrict Master data in value help screen for a user???URGENT

Hello Gurus,
I have a requirement.When a authorized user logins to view the report, he should see only list of customers assigned to that user in the value help screen, instead of displaying whole master data.and the data is displayed perfectly fine for the authorized sales rep. By default, Value help screen displaying all the customer numbers.
How can I restrict in the value help screen?
Any help appreciated with points.
Regards,
PNK

Hi Chandran,
I got that Idea too. I created a authorized customer, I created a authorized Object and assigned to a role.But in the role, when I am changing the object to generate profile, it is asking to select list of customers from the customer table.If the customers are always constant then this would work, but in my scenario, customers for the sales rep changes over time and when I ever reps open the query, they should see updated list of customers assigned to them only, as we update the master data everyday from source system and that shud reflect in the value help.
I am trying User Exit to achieve this, but I am not getting proper ideas how to do this.
Any Help on this issue with user exit code???
Thanks in Advance
regards,
PNK

Help Text for Webdynpro Application

Hi Guys,
I've created a "Help" link. clicking on it displays a popup Help_Window. I want to display paragraph of Text in this Help_Window.
Is there any element available where i can enter a paragraph of text ?
( my goal is to create documentation for the application. just like we do documentation for se38 programs )
Your inputs are highly appreciated.
Thanks in Advance.
Arun.

Solution :
1. Create MIME to import the help.PDF file which contains documentation to your application
2. In Help_View i have included the element INTERACTIVE_FORM.
3. In method WDDOINIT of HELP_VIEW i have included the following code to call the help.pdf file
data:
    mime_repository type ref to if_mr_api,
    content type xstring,
    url type string value '/SAP/BC/WebDynpro/SAP/WDR_TEST_ADOBE_PDF_ONLY/test.pdf'.
mime_repository = cl_mime_repository_api=>get_api( ).
call method mime_repository->get
    exporting
      i_url = url
    importing
      e_content = content.
wd_context->set_attribute( name = 'PDF' value = content ).
4. on clicking the help link from my main window i'm calling the HELP_VIEW as a popup window. in this window it displays the help.pdf file which give the documentation about the application.
check example - WDR_TEST_ADOBE_PDF_ONLY

How to implement the documentation help function for webdynpro application

We have implemented SAP Travelmanagement ESS services which uses ABAP Webdynpro. In each of the screen there is a "help" link on the top right corner. I would like to know how to use this function to link a help file that explains what needs to be done on each screen.
My requirement is to provide screen specific help information as a document for each of the screen in my webdynpro application.
Any suggestions, options, samples from the experts would be most appreciated.
Regards
Vivek

Hi Vivek,
seems to be your WDA are built by FPM, thats how by default you will be getting help link in top corner.
when you click on help link it has to display the help related data.
for this sap calls the standard wdc: WDHC_COMPONENT and the view:WDHC_APPL_HELP in this view you will see the element as: TEXT to fill some text which is your help data.
there might be some way to fill this TEXT (text view) try this.
or else i will check and upate you soon.
all the best.

Help me for MI Applications on WAS SP12

Hi All,
Could anyone guide me for MI development.
I have the following infrastructure.
i have installed wAS-SR12,EP-SP12, NWDS SP12.
i could able to get the SAP MI login screen from this url http://eportal:50000/mi. But unable to find the proper userid and password (i am giving the administrator and its password), System as localhost (ie., xportal), system number = 00. On log on, i am getting the username and password incorrect.
I am not sure, whether i have got MI got installed or not. From forums i found that the Mobile Infrastructure automatically when we install the WAS SP12.
Could anyone help me to show the steps if i am missing anything. Like what are the steps i need to have to start working on MI applications using webdynpros.. Please help me..
Thanks & Regards,
Raghavendra Pothula

Hi Raj,
You need to have an ABAP+ JAVA Stack installation of the WAS 6.40 to use MI.
Initially you will need to setup the props file, add the appropriate authorization and then should be able to Synchronize. If you follow the MI Installation Guide for SP12 you will be fine.
FYI to get to the MI Webconsole you should access it via
http://eportal:50000/me rather than http://eportal:50000/mi

How do I make a global helper servlet for all applications?

I am running about five different web applications in tomcat 5.0.24. They all need to do some spelling correction from time to time. I have a spelling correction API and a bunch of dictionaries, etc. so I can do it just fine. The problem is, I don't want each application to create all the dictionaries because then I end up with five spell checking programs and five dictionaries being accessed (basically I am exactly repeating myself five times and I start running out of memory). I would like to have a servlet that just sits waiting all the time and which any other servlet or JSP in any of my web applications can quickly dash of a spell check request to at any time.
How do I do this?
I think I need to write a servlet since I want to run it in tomcat and access it from my webapps, but it might not need to be a servlet since it is never actually contacted from a browser and will not ever write anything back to the client. I just need my other servlets and JSPs to access the spell checking functionality from time to time.

I'd say tomcat/common/lib is a good guess for where you'd put the class's jar file, but I don't use Tomcat so I can't say for sure. As for how to only have one dictionary, you need a singleton class, i.e. one that only permits one instance of the class to be created. Like this, if you haven't heard of it:public class SpellChecker {
// create a single SpellChecker here:
private SpellChecker theInstance = new SpellChecker();
// don't let anybody else create another one:
private SpellChecker() {}
// provide a method for returning the single instance:
public static SpellChecker getInstance() {
return theInstance;
// remaining methods go here
// watch out for synchronization issues
}To get hold of the spell-checker, just doSpellChecker.getInstance()PC²

Design Pattern help needed for MDI application

Hi,
I am writing an mdi application which contains a JSplitPane. The left pane contains a JTree and the right contains a JDesktopPane which houses n number of JInternalFrames. The JInternal Frames need access to the JTree. Also both panes (objects w/in) need access to elements of the JFrame. I am currently implemeting access by making most of the JFrame objects static and creating getter/setter methods for access. Does anyone know any desing patterns I might use to solve this dilemma?
Thanks,
John

The observer design pattern causes the child objects to chage state when the parent changes state. The type of pattern I need would allow the child objects of the parent JFrame to be available globally without having to make them static. I am wrong in this? Would the observer pattern solve this issue.

hi there, check a look at this code:
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
public class Splash implements Runnable, mainInterface{
private String initMsg;
public Splash(String initMsg) {
this.initMsg = initMsg;
public void run() {
splashWindow.getContentPane().add(l, BorderLayout.CENTER);
splashWindow.pack();
splashWindow.setSize(splashWindow.getSize().width, splashWindow.getSize().height);
splashWindow.setLocation(dim.width/2 - splashWindow.getWidth() /2,dim.height/2 -
splashWindow.getHeight()/2);
splashWindow.toFront();
splashWindow.show(); }
public JWindow getWindow()
return splashWindow;
}add this code to the main file
private static void splash()
          th.start(); // I sleep to let the thread startup and display the window
               while (splash3.getWindow() == null || !splash3.getWindow().isShowing())
                    try {
                         Thread.sleep(2000);

How to create a help page in my application like the one in HTMLDB ?

Hi,
What's the best way to create a help file for my application and link it like the help link at the top right of HTMLDB ?
Thank you.

That's what I did, but I have a lot of screen captures. Where would be the best place to save those gif, server or in the database by loading them via the images tab in HTMLDB ?
Thank you.

BOE-XI (R2) - Rename CMS name in Login Screen for CLUSTER

BOE-XI (R2)
Cluster with Two (2) physical servers side-by-side hosting all BOE services.
Both Tomcat and IIS installed on both physical servers.
We don't want the end-users of InfoView to see/know the underlying server names (eg. BOE_SERVER_1 and BOE_SERVER_2 ) in the URL for the CMC / InfoView - or in the CMS Name on the login screens for those applications.
I assume that we can use some kind of DNS service in front of the website to mask that, but I don't know how we can "rename" it in the CMS name in Login Screen.
What we want is to use a name like BOE_PROD for the URL path - and for the CMS Name on the login screens for CMC / InfoView
Anyone done this before...? Any documentation you can point me to...?
Thanks in advance!
Edited by: Mark Richardson on Oct 31, 2008 5:29 PM

Here is one of my best findings on the matter.
DNS ---
The DNS bit is not documented but here is how I achieve this. The cluster configuration should be documented in the deployment or admin guide.
For XIr2 to run with DNS, you need to add -port to the CMS, IFRS, OFRS and RAS (if you use crystal) - check the SAP notes to see because there are differeences between the CMS and other services for this. You will use the DNS name in this parameter instead of the hostname.
From what you explained, you will need at least two DNS's
In -port, use the dns name for the CMS (the DNS MUST match the IP address of the server where the CMS run if you want it to work)
In EVERY services, you will need to change the -ns parameter to match the DNS name other registration will fail.
Client tools will have to use the DNS or clustername.
From my tests, DONT change -name. If you manage to do so, feel free to tell us more about it.
--- Cluster name ---
For that bit, I'll give the quick information, but the reference is the documentation.
What follows is for tomcat. However, as stated above, the documentation explains pretty well how to achieve this for IIS too and you just need to replace hostname by fqdn in every bit that tells you how to configure this.
For the name visible on the logon page on InfoView, it is in the web.xml Note: you can set the default name to the cluster name and even hide the CMS name if you want. (tomcat/webapps/businessobjects/enterprise115/desktoplaunch/web-inf/web.xml)
The default value for the cms should be there, and a specific part is commented for the cluster names. If you want to use the clustername as the default value, you'll need to uncomment the part for it and fill in the required information (ClusterName and CMS DNS names) and then change the default value. This is required because Tomcat doesnt know how to resolve the clustername otherwise.
Same thing goes for the CMC: (tomcat/webapps/businessobjects/enterprise115/adminlaunch/web-inf/web.xml)
Restart Tomcat and BO and you have a fully DNS compliant BO server with a cluster name based on the DNS.
Let us know how it goes.
Cheers,
