How to go about ABAP from scratch

Hi,
I am an SCJP. I want to start learning ABAP. I would be more than happy if someone can help me out in starting with it. Waiting for a reply soon.

Downloaded content is fine,, but there are so many things which are interlinked so as a starter you may get confused which one is for what..
ABAP in 21 days is the ideal book for the starters.. it will explain all the fundamentals with some examples.. once you get hang of abap then you can start exploring all the advance documentations and neways, SDN is there for you,, if you have any queries,, post a query  <<removed>>
All the best.
Rahul.

  • How to know about Description from the TransType...?

    Hi All,
    I have used SBO 2005 A PL 43 SP1 and have some queries below:
    SELECT     TOP 100 PERCENT T0.DocDate, T0.TransType, CAST(T0.BASE_REF as char) AS BASE_REF, T0.Warehouse, T0.CardCode, T0.CardName, T0.xInQty, T0.xOutQty, T0.Price, T0.Currency , T1.ItemName, T1.SuppCatNum, CAST(T0.InvntAct as char) AS InvntAct, T2.AcctName, T0.StatusDescr
    FROM         vwOINM_DEL0_02 T0 INNER JOIN OITM T1 ON T0.ItemCode = T1.ItemCode LEFT OUTER JOIN OACT T2 ON T0.InvntAct = T2.AcctCode
    WHERE (T0.ItemCode = 'RO00 0465') AND (CAST(T0.TransType AS char(3)) + CAST(T0.CardCode AS char) IN ('13 ZZ0 Cash&Carry') OR (T0.TransType <> 13))
    AND (T0.xDocDate BETWEEN CONVERT(DATETIME, '2008-01-01 00:00:00', 102) AND CONVERT(DATETIME, '2008-11-25 00:00:00',102)) ORDER BY T0.DocDate, T0.TransNum
    TransType -
    > is a field name on table "OINM"
    How to know about Description from the TransType and where can we relate to the table?
    example :
    TransType     Description
    ====================
    15          Delivery
    13          AR Invoice
    59          Goods Receipt
    60          Goods Issue
    Please anybody can help me...?

    You can use function on sql side which to proper transid returns desciption.
    The function is as
    create FUNCTION [dbo].[trans](@trans integer)

  • How to protect my iphone from scratched

    How to protect my iphone from scratched

    Do not remove it from the box...
    But if you must, and you want no scratches, you will need something like the Otter Box Defender or the LifeProof case.
    But they all make the phone much bigger.  I use the Otterbox, I like the extra bulk and protection.
    Google is your friend, this has been discussed a Zillion times.

  • How to start collector inventory from scratch

    Hi there,
    I would like to completely redo collector inventory from scratch by deleting all current devices in collector DB and re-injecting a new list.
    How should I proceed?
    Thanks,
    Nic

    Hi Nic,
     If you mean restart the discovery process, you would do that by unmanaging all devices by going to "Management:->"Unmanage Devices" and the doing discovery. Hope that answers the question
    Thanks

  • Lightroom 2.6 trial download - how to build a catalog from scratch.

    I have downloaded Lightroom 2.6 trial version and am trying to build a small catalog for it.  I don't need my whole Photoshop Elements 8 (PSE 8) catalog, but I would like to build a small catalog out of images in the My Pictures folder so that I can experiment with this software.  It recognizes the existence of my old PSE 6 catalog, but says it is corrupt and ask about building a new catalog. It will not recognize my PSE 8 catalog.  How do I go about bypassing this "catalog recognition step" and go right to that part of the software that will let me build a catalog from the images contained in various folders in the My Pictures main folder.  Unless I can get to the part where I can build a catalog to test out LR 2.6, then I am stuffed (as the Aussies would say) as far as testing this product.  Maybe I need to download the Lightroom 3 Beta and see if it will recognize my PSE 8 catalog.  Any suggestions, insight on how to resolve this dilemma are greatly appreciated.  Thanks.
    Regards,
    WesternGuy

    When I bring up LR, it asks me if I want to buy or try...so to speak, I check off <try> and the <Next> and <Back> buttons are immediately greyed out and the only thing I can do is click on <Finish> or <Cancel>.  If I click on <Finish>,  It tells me that "the Lightroom catalog named "catalog" cannot be opened because it is not valid. Would you like to select a different catalog".  The catalog is not registered as a valid catalog."  It tells me where this invalid catalog is and then I have a choice of buttons that ask me to "choose a different catalog" or another button that says "Exit".  If  I select "choose a different catalog, then it asks for a location and gives me a button that says "Create a new catalog", it then goes to the My Pictures folder inside a panel that has at the top "Create folder with New Catalog" and then I don't seem to be able to do anything it likes. I never get to a menu that gives me the "File/New Catalog" option.(???)
    Maybe I need to uninstall and reinstall LR2.6.
    Regards,
    WesternGuy

  • How to learn UCM 11g from scratch

    From where should I learn UCM 11g I am new to this product.WebCenter Content

    Hemant,
    You will need a test system, use VirtualBox as you can undo any disasters by taking snapshots. If you don't know how to configure and administer managed servers in Weblogic Server then learn that first - just how to configure UCM and Node Manager so you can start and stop it from the Admin Server console.
    It is worth learning to install Webcenter Content on Linux ( I recommend Oracle 6.6) and also on Windows if you want to use Enterprise Capture with Recognition but if you are impatient to start with UCM, Oracle have a ready-made VM with just about everything you need installed.  Oracle WebCenter Portal 11.1.1.8 Virtual Machine | Oracle Technology Network | Oracle. You may need to patch the installation, I don't know what patch level it is set to.
    When reading the Oracle documentation Make sure you get the WCC UCM documentation not the IPM documentation. Make lots of bookmarks and when you see "for more information on..." open the link in a new tab or you will get lost seven levels down when you realise you are back to the same page you started from.
    Learn the security model, a group in Weblogic Server with the same names as a Role in UCM will be granted the Role's access, how to use content types, rules and profiles. if you have experience with any other DM systems, know that metadata fields in UCM are not attributes of a document class, they are attributes of the system and present for all documents unless you filter them out with Rules.
    Know also that there are two Web UIs so when you read the latest documentation the screenshots are from the latest Web UI. I don't know if it has been installed in the Portal VM but if you want to install it, read the Support article 1618305.1, it is not simple.

  • How to call Webdynpro ABAP from Widget

    Hello guys,
    I want to add an icon to my widget with a link to a webdynpro ABAP application.
    However, the link is dependent on the system the user is accessing.
    So, I'd like to know if it's possible and what's the best method to do it.
    1. is it possible to call a Transcation or a RFC that calls a WebDynpro from the Widget?
    or
    2. is it possible to retrieve the Widget's default system parameters and assemble the Webdynpro URL dynamically?
    Any more ideas?
    Thank you and best regards,
    Henrique.

    up.

  • How to configure a uc540 from scratch

    I am a complete noob to cisco cli, I have purchased a uc540 from ebay that appears to be defaulted.

    Would you like to enter the initial configuration dialog? [yes/no]:
    and after a week of reading blogs i cannot get this unit back to factory default so i can connect to with the cli
    There is no dhcp on the interfaces and it will happily pass data from my lan when plugged into expansion port
    What i am trying to do is connect the WAN port to a public ip of 84.92.29.xxx
    and a lan side of 192.168.254.1/24 for the UC540
    and have the box run firewall, voip dhcp etc.
    I have a box full of Cisco 7941G phones with SCCP firmware on aswell
    every time i have tried to configure the box based on bloggs i get errors in relation to integrated-service-engine0/0.

    can you get console access on UC500? What does it look like? If still asking for initial configuration dialog I would say no. Then you may have to type enable and show run will get you the running config. Sounds like if you are not getting DHCP from the UC500 then the base config is no available. Once you get an IP on an interface you should be able to use CCA.

  • [s205] How to install Win7 x64 from scratch on a new hdd?

    Hello,
    I have a little problem to solve...
    I own a s205. My hard drive died. I replaced it with a new one. After that I tried to install Win7 x64. During the install it created 2 small partitions. It was strange to me, I saw it for the first time. Later I read that this is because of UEFI.
    Anyway, everything installed good, but after installing drivers I encountered few problems. Neither of net card were working. I started to look for some informations and I know that the problem is UEFI.
    My question - can anyone write a guide how to install Win7 x64 on s205 in Legacy mode, so everything would work like before? Unfortunately I don't have any rescue dvds or any other source of Lenovos images.
    Regards,
    Daniel

    hi bean.
    did you install the drivers without any issue?
    ( installed power management and activates the wireless? )

  • Airport - How Do I Start Installation From Scratch?

    Here's the deal: After the most recent firmware update to airport extreme, it is totally hosed. I reset the airport but it isn't "broadcasting" so my computer doesn't see it even though it's only 2 feet away. Nothing works. If I reset the airport, go through the multitude of configuration menus, and finally get the airport to broadcast (indicator on top information bar full and in bold), after clicking on the update button after reconfiguring, the airport stops broadcasting and the process fails. So, I want to wipe the whole configuration out like I never installed it before - both on the computer and in the airport - and start all over again to hopefully get it working. Honestly, these firmware updates are not very intuitive and I'm to the point that if I ever get this thing working, I'm never going to update it ever again! Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for the reply, Smokerz. If I understand your post, I should disconnect the Airport from the Ethernet, plug the Ethernet directly into the laptop and re-configure my network for the Airport? It's funny because I did that this morning before I read your post and I then couldn't access the Internet while being plugged directly into my DSL box. I had to reconfigure my network settings first. With network settings properly applied, should I be able to access the Internet either way - through the Airport or through a direct Ethernet connection to the laptop - or is it a one or the other scenario?
    Thanks,
    Karl

  • I need to send sms from my iPad 3 to charge credit from scratch cards. How to go about it?

    I bought the new iPad, unblocked so I could use it abroad. I live in Kenya and the internet service provider uses a system with scratch cards to load airtime/browsing caapacity. To charge I need to buy scratch cards, and send the code by sms to charge my account. How to go about this?

    I Had it on my iPod, but I reset to factory settings and it got deleted :( If I find a way to get it back, I'll post it here so you can too.

  • How To "Start From Scratch" and Build a Clean iTunes Library on a Portable USB External Drive?

    A while ago I posted about my confused (and confusing) mess of an iTunes:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/16183210#16183210
    While dozens looked I guess eveyone agreed with me "what a mess" and moved on.
    So ... someone at the Apple Store suggested that what I should do is start from scratch. But I'm not sure if I understand all the steps.  He said I should:
    * create a folder of all my songs and just the song files not all the other iTunes stuff -- copy all the mp3 and m4a files that I have in Music > iTunes > iTunes Music > Music to a temp folder let's call it "all my music"
    * launch iTunes and tell it to move to / always look at / whatever the terms my new portable external USB drive
    * click on file / add to library and tell iTunes I want to add that "all my music" folder to iTunes
    At this point I don't care if we lose playlists, artwork, play counts and all that stuff.
    Does this approach make sense?
    Is there another way?
    So how do I tell iTunes to only look to the external?  How do I get rid of the old stuff I have on the internal that is offering duplicates and phantom entries?  Do I need to delete iTunes and then download a new copy?  Should I delete the iTunes foilder? ...?
    Any advice would be much appreciated.
    Many thanks!

    the simplest and working way.
    go to iTunes -> Preferences -> Advanced
    On there change the iTunes Media Folder location to your external hard drive
    Check that the rest of the preference pane looks similar to the following picture.
    After doing so, on menu bar go to File -> Library -> Organize Library
    This will force iTunes to copy all songs and playlist's to the new place and to build up a new database for the Library.
    Empty or corrupted files will left behind on the old location.
    After checking that all is on place and working at the new location, you may delete all files at the former location.
    Done
    Cheers - Lupunus
