How to start WebDynpro - Feeling down and lost

Hi guys,
I started working with webdynpro based on ABAP. Its definately nice and I appreciate SAPs tutorials. But they are just the basics and a lot of things are not described.
How can I create a good tree model? SAP online docu has nothing about it. The How-To paper is just for Java.
How to create a ALV with the possibility to enter data? How to assign the header texts of columns dynamically?
Ok, there are examples in SE80. But there is always one mega application handling every single UI component that exists. And then the examples cover so many topics at once that its nearly impossible to really understand a single detail.
These are the questions and topics I have. Having a couple of years experience with ABAP I am used to the fact that online documentation is more or less useless. I think you agree with me that it might also be a benefit to go through a new development topv the hard way and just try and try and try... Thats what we all are used to and thats why we are as good as we currently are.
But honestly, most of the documentation SAP provides is for me at least useless. I would spend much more time and money and help on those guys who write the How-To papers because they do a tremendous good job.
But how did you guys started with WebDynpro? How did you e.g. managed to create your first tree (dynamic etc.). I still wonder where to create the tree-structure in my program and have no clue what the "context" attribute is used for. Somewhere I have to create the hierachy, assign icons etc. like in the old Dynpro-Tree approach.
What do you think? Have I just not found all the documentation I search for? Do I simply have to spend as much time to understand how tree, ALV etc. works in detail like I did some years before in the old dynpro-world?
Regards, Hendrik

Hi Hendrik.
I agree with you that reading the online documentation sometimes let more questions come up than it solves.
You asked how we started with WebDynpro. So I just used the book WebDynpro
for Abap of Ulli Hoffmann which is a good entry to get the basic ideas.
Asking questions here helps a lot too.
But my basic approach was the good old try and error method. But I bet there are
still a lot of things that are possible with WD4A I do not event know abaout.
So as Mohammed mentioned  just post your questions and a lot of people here
will surely try to help you.
PS: You also should have a look at the <a href="https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/WDABAP">WIKI</a>. Though it is still in the beginning it might worth a look.
<b>Appeal to all</b>: If you find the time pls submit to the WIKI. There are still a lot of open points. If you find repeating questions here please find a place in the WIKI were you could write a short tutorial how to solve it.
Cheers,
Sascha

  • When Firefox freezes, how can I shut it down, and re-start it without it automatically going to the site which caused the problem in the first place ?

    I have Firefox set so that when I start up, I have it set so that it automatically goes to my home page. However when it freezes, which it does on a daily basis, and I have to shut it down and re-start, it automatically goes to the site which caused the problem in the first place.
    If I was a hacker, I would probably find it quite fun to design a virus to reintroduce bugs after they had been exterminated - except that Firefox seem to have got there first.

    Here's how:
    (1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''sess''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (3) Double-click the '''browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes''' preference and enter 0 (that's a zero) and click OK.
    When Firefox resumes after a crash, instead of resuming automatically, it will display a list of your previous windows and tabs and you can deselect problem pages.
    (This assumes it wasn't a private browsing session.)

  • Quicktime start to slow down and skip

    i'm running a dual 2GHz G5 with 2.5 gigs of memory, stock 160 gig hard drive and QuickTime Player 7.1.1, and mac os x 10.4.6. i have subscribed to a podcast called MacBreak which uses video. using quicktime, on the dual, the video and sound start to skip. on an xp box, using quicktime, the video plays ok, 3 GHz, 512 megs, 30 gig hard drive at 7200 rpm. i've tried the movie, video podcast, on the mac using VLC's player and it played fine. well, some odd behavior with the extra information MacBreak was providing with the podcast, but the video was smooth, and the sound was clear and smooth. ok all that said, i would like to play the videos in quicktime on the mac, any ideas on how i can smooth the video and sound out on the mac using quicktime. (using the quicktime player) and if you can, please tell me why its not playing smoothly on the mac using quicktime player. (clearly the machine is fast enough to play the video podcast) its got to be a setting, right? thanks everyone.
    g.

    I have a revision a imac g5 with the same problem with only macbreak podcast. I know leo laporte said that the podcast was done in 1080p and my computer with its built in 64 megabyte graphics card might have trouble with this podcast but your machine must have a better graphics card than mine. 1080p requires at least 128 megabytes of graphics memory built in. My machine played this podcast on quicktime fine until they came out with the update to quicktime last week or two ago. I was going to upgrade my memory until I came accross your story and your machines doing the same thing with much better specs. I think it might be the quicktime update that is causing a problem. Maybe Leo will talk about this problem since he is doing a mac show about macs.

  • Scheduling start up, shut down and internet connection without override

    System:
    I have a Mac on 10.5.8 and I have just purchased a new desktop Mac, and I need to be able to apply the solution to this question on both of those computers. I'll also be adding an iphone and ipad in the next couple of weeks.
    Question:
    I need to break a habit and to do it I need some external tools that I can't work around. I want to be able to schedule my computer to start up at noon and close at 10pm, without me being able to click a button or three to override it. I would want to set it for a week at a time and be able to renew at the end of each week.
    Similarly, within the time the computer is on I want to schedule when I have internet connection. For example, Tuesday to Sunday from 12.30-2.00pm, 4.00-5.30pm and 7.00-9.00pm. On Mondays I would want additional access from 5am to noon (which I've just realised would mean that the start up time would need an exception for Mondays as well).
    I can set someone up to do this for me remotely, presumably using Parental Controls (though I'm not sure they work with that kind of specificity) but I can see a hitch in that plan in that I would still want to be able to download software and apps (which require the computer's password which I presume the offsite person would use to set up and then lock the controls.
    I've been using the app Self-Control for the past couple of days and it works....but. I love that I cannot override it, that's brilliant. However, it is still giving me access to some of the sites I've blocked. For example, on tumblr, my blog and dashboard are invisible to me, but I can see the blogs of others if I type in their blog address; I can understand that because it adds a variation to the address, but it seems to be random and constantly changing who and what I can see. Also, it is making a massive number of other sites not work properly (reverting to very old school black and blue Times Roman html), images aren't working and it's blocking sites I've never heard of, let alone put on my blacklist. Sometimes it will let me onto a site then kick me off a few seconds later or if I click onto another page. It is blocking a site I removed from the blacklist. I can't access Google Maps either. So, it has limitations.
    My prime concern is limiting the times (not just the duration of access but the times of day I have access) the computer is on and that I have internet connection.
    I hope someone similarly in need of breaking their computer/internet habit can offer a solution or suite of solutions.
    Many thanks

    Try this...

    There is a FAQ link at the upper-right of the page - FAQ stands for 'Frequently Asked Questions' and usually provides answers to those questions. ANd your questions just may be answered there if you care to look.
    I note that not only 'would you like to post some questions', but you actually 'have posted the first question'. So you seem to be on your way. Just note that there are many forums, and you are encouraged to ask in the correct forum - find them by going to the 'Forum Home' link (top left) and scrolling down (and don't forget to peek in the 'More...' areas if you can not find the ones you want.)
    AND - if you ask technical questions, remember to include operating system (including edition or distribution and version as appropriate for the OS), product version (even if you do not think it's important) and any error messages (copied, not re-typed, if possible)

  • How to start virtual OVM Manager and restore server pool which hosts it?

    It had to happen... the day I migrate our OVM Manager from an ESX host into an Oracle VM, we have a massive NetApp outage, and everything fails to come back. As a result of having lock errors when trying to start any VMs I noted on the forum various solutions and ended up following the steps concerning stopping ovs-agent and removal of /etc/ovs-agent/db/* on all the servers. Next I re-added the repo to all the servers using repos.py, but of course now none of the servers are in a pool so the --list command shows them as [R] rather than [*], and the /OVS directory is not yet mapped. So the next stage, according to the instructions which I am following, describes using the 'Restore' option in the OVM Manager GUI. Given that /OVS is not mounted and all of the servers are now config-less, I can't see how I can start the OVM Manager VM to get to the aforementioned "restore" option...
    Thank Jeebus I kept the ESX copy of OVM manager on (but powered down), as I was able to fire it up and do the restore, and now everything is hunky dory. However, this is our Dev platform and I was going to build the Prod platform and deploy OVM Manager straight into the OVM architecture via the template, rather than having it on ESX, but this issue on the Dev install has made me think twice about the mobius nature of managing the VM architecture from within the VM architecture...
    I am assuming I am missing some sort of commandline knowledge, so... given:
    - empty db directory
    - root repos [R] on all servers
    - as yet unmapped /OVS
    ...how to get the server pool up and get something back into /OVS, and then start my OVM Manager VM so I can 'restore'? Is it even possible? because if it isn't, I'll be blowed if the Prod OVM manager is going to get deployed like this...
    And no, there's no money in the budget for extra tin just to sit there running the OVM Manager and nothing else.
    TIA
    Kev

    user12474530 wrote:
    Still nobody seems to know of how to create a server pool on the CLI (outside of OVM Manager) though...There is no way to create a server pool on the CLI without Oracle VM Manager. You either need to use the Web UI of the Manager, or use the ovmcli command-line tool. Both of those require Oracle VM Manager to be running.
    However, once the Pool is created, you do not need the Manager to be running to perform simple tasks like starting/stopping guests. That can be done with the xm command-line tool.
    I agree with you about running VM Manager as a guest of the Oracle VM Server: I actually don't recommend this in production, unless you have at least two Server Pools. Then you can have the Manager of Pool A hosted by Pool B and vice-versa. Most often however, I recommend a completely independent Manager machine, either physical or hosted on a separate virtualization stack.

  • How to start installing CRM, ERP and SOLUTION MANAGER on a VM

    Dear all,
    It has been some years now that I installed a CRM and ERP system (this was in the days of dual stack ). Now I see that dual stack is depricated and that everything runs on a Netweaver base.
    My question is now the following;
    Can someone please tell me how to proceed to install these 3 SAP components on 1 server, each on its own virtual machine?
    I suspect that I will first have to install the OS (RHEL 5.6 64 bit) and then I will have to install the DB (Oracle 11.2i). After this I start the installation of the SAP component or is there someting I need to do to get the Netweaver part on the server first?
    And where can I find EXACTLY which files I need to download from the SAP site for each component, because the CRM part for instance has a ton of files and there is nowhere an indication that says '"this is the normal installation package".
    Kind regards,
    David

    > I suspect that I will first have to install the OS (RHEL 5.6 64 bit) and then I will have to install the DB (Oracle 11.2i). After this I start the installation of the SAP component or is there someting I need to do to get the Netweaver part on the server first?
    not quite right.
    You start sapinst, it will proceed a number of sections and then request you to install the database. Do not install the database before. This is also convered in the respective installation guide.
    > And where can I find EXACTLY which files I need to download from the SAP site for each component, because the CRM part for instance has a ton of files and there is nowhere an indication that says '"this is the normal installation package".
    This depends on how you use the CRM system, whether you use componnets, that require Java or not.
    All that is covered in the installation and master guides. Yes, they are big and yes, they contain a lot of redundant information. But don't expect to start a program and do next-next-finish.
    I would start with Solution Manager becaues you will need that system to generate installation keys for the other systems.

    Plugged everything into the MB, powered it and it starts, the 3 fans spin, the frontal led flashes, as well as the 4 leds on the MB but nothing on the screen (with the "no signal" message)
    and then shuts down. And restarts again. Shuts down, restarts...
    It run with an Advance 600W and all components are new. Any clue?
    J.

    Good news: a friend brough one stick of DDR3 and it worked! So now, it's just a matter of finding out if the Kingston I bought really is faulty, or if, as you suggested, it's a matter of updating the BIOS.
    Either way, I'll post the update and hopefully along a [SOLVED]
