Interactive Gantt Element & UI feasibility - ABAP Webdynpro

I have a requirement to design a interactive timeline chart in ABAP webdynpro. Infact, the UI should be a replicate of CM33[Capacity Planning Workbench] standard transaction in our SAP. Can you let me know whether its possible to design such a interactive graphical UI in ABAP Webdynpro without using any JAVA coding/controls/plugins???
In my R&D, I have found that instead of using Business Graphics, Gantt UI can be used which will provide more interactive [lot of event handling] options. But it seems Gantt UI has to be used with XML and JNET.I don have any idea on this. I went through some of the documents but im not able to understand. Is it that JNET understanding requires JAVA skills. I dono how to design the frontend with Gantt UI and i could not find any useful documents.
Can you please help me stating whether this Capacity planning [CM33 transaction] can be replicated using only ABAP Webdynpro through Gantt UI element or any other UI without using JAVA coding.?? It will help me alot if you can provide some documents on the same..
@Thomas jung

You don't need to code any Java to use the Gantt-Plugin (JNET) in Web Dynpro ABAP. Although it is written in Java, you feed the plugin with an XML-file which contains the data in the required format. That format is extremely complex. You find the documentation below.
For learning purposes I recommend the Web Dynpro Applications:
- WDR_TEST_GANTT
- WDR_GANTT_TEST
You have to analyse the XML-files which are attached as MIMEs to the WD components. For your own solution, you will have to transform your data into that xml format, e.g. by a Simple Transformation oder XSLT.
[Documentation Web Dynpro UI Element Gantt|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp2/helpdata/en/68/248841a79f1609e10000000a155106/frameset.htm]
[JNet/JGantt Developer Documentation|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/lw/uuid/f010ec31-9658-2910-3c83-c6e62904eceb&overridelayout=true]
The JNet Documentation contains additional examples, sadly there is none for Gantt. But it shows clearly the power of JNET.
If you get your hands on a PPM 5.0 installation, I highly recommend to analyse the newest cProjects-Gantt-chart which is amazing.

Interactive Gantt Charts in Webdynpro

Hi at all,
Where can i find information about the interactive gantt element in webdynpro for java or rather code examples how to use this element?
thx

Hi Thomas,
there are two ways to implement a Gantt in Web Dynpro: Either one chartType of the BusinessGraphics element or you take the Gantt UI element (is an applet). Both are a kind of interactive, the Business Graphics has a better integration into WD (data binding is easier), the Gantt element has more possibilities for interaction.
For the Gantt you can have a look at this thread, it describes the Network element, but it is the same procedure as for Gantt.
Re: Using the "Network" UI Element
in addition:
Docu for Gantt UI element:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/42/c8e974d9cc6bb6e10000000a1553f6/frameset.htm

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/3e/c450c4cf2f6d418204afeea17655d3/frameset.htm
BTW: For the Gantt you need NW2004s, Business Graphics are available since NW2004

Menu elements in ABAP webdynpro?

Hi,
Is there any view elements available in ABAP webdynpro which is similar to Menu /Menu elements in other languages like VB or D2K?
I want to create menu like this:
Screen
   Screen1(it will be view1 of component1)
   Screen2(it will be view2 of component2)
Then how to link this?

Hi Mog,
   You could use button choice and you could achieve the same functionality of MENU .
Create a Button choice SCREE and give SCREEN1 and SCREEN2 as teh choices.And there is provision associate an action with each choices.So you could very well fire view plugs and chieve the navigation.
Thanks

Zci type ADOBE Interactive Form in ABAP Webdynpro short dump

Adobe Reader version 8.1.2
Life Cycle Designer version 7.1.4270.1.421766
ECC 6.0 patch 13
When I ran the 'FP_PDF_TEST_00' , it shows
Version Information: 710.20061024154505.342190
In my ABAP Webdynpro app., it has 3 inputfields.
In the Form layout, I changed the form layout type to 'ZCI' for interactive form, and Insert the WebDynpro Script.
And in the ABAP Webdynpro view layput designer, I enabled the pdf form element.
All objects compiled without any problem.
During the runtime, it got the following short dump:

Hi,
As far as i know when you use Adobe forms in a WD4A application, language is your "web" connection language.
You can have a look at standard class CL_WD_ADOBE_SERVICE, it's used when generating an adobe forms from WD4A. , more particulary look at method DETERMINE_DOCPARAMS.

ABAP WebDynpro, Interactive Form, and Repeating Subforms

Hi Everyone,
I have a very simple Interactive Form called from ABAP WebDynpro.
Main_View Context:
Node u2013 FORM.
     Cardinality 1..1
     Selection 0..1
     Initialization Lead Selection u2013 X
Node u2013 SPFLI
     Dictionary Structure - SPFLI
     Cardinality 0..n
     Selection 0..1
     Initialization Lead Selection u2013 X
Attributes from SPFLI u2013 CARRID and CONNID
View contains an Interactive Form and a u201CSaveu201D button.
Form = Z_TABLE_TEST_FORM, Interface = Z_TABLE_TEST_INT u2013 created through forward navigation in Layout so uses XML interface.
Button u201CSaveu201D has the following code:
METHOD onactionsave.
DATA lo_nd_form     TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node.
DATA lo_nd_spfli    TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node.
DATA lo_el_spfli    TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_element.
DATA ls_spfli       TYPE wd_this->element_spfli.
DATA ls_element_set TYPE wdr_context_element_set.
lo_nd_form = wd_context->get_child_node( name = wd_this->wdctx_form ).
lo_nd_spfli = lo_nd_form->get_child_node( name = wd_this->wdctx_spfli ).
ls_element_set = lo_nd_spfli->get_elements( ).
IF lo_nd_spfli IS NOT INITIAL.
    lo_el_spfli = lo_nd_spfli->get_element( ).
    IF lo_el_spfli IS NOT INITIAL.
      lo_el_spfli->get_static_attributes(
        IMPORTING
          static_attributes = ls_spfli ).
    ENDIF.
ENDIF.
ENDMETHOD.
On the Interactive Form, u201CPage1u201D is a main page. u201CTableParentu201D is a SubForm, flowed layout, in accessibility tab set to u201CTableu201D, and is bound to u201C$record.SPFLIu201D.
u201CDATAu201D is a SubForm under "TableParent", Positioned layout, in accessibility tab set to u201CBody Rowu201D, and is bound to u201CDATA[*]u201D.
Carrid and Connid are both Text Fields bound to Carrid and Connid, under "DATA".
I also added the Insert/Remove/Reposition buttons, but deleted the two reposition buttons.
The idea was to be able to add 4-5 Carrid/Connid pairs.
When running this, as configured above, then none of the data entered in the form makes it through to the Elements. If the context is changed to make the Cardinality 1..n, then a single Element is added u2013 but not the remainder.
What needs to be done to get this to work?
Many thanks
Jack

Hi Reema,
None. For all other fields, they are bound to the context, so the transfer is automatic.
These repeating fields are also bound to the context, but it appears that an element needs to be created for every repeating form. How can this be done from the form?
Cheers
Jack

Future for JNET UI elements in ABAP Webdynpro?

Hi,
I recently had the opportunity to do an interesting project that included producing a Gantt chart in an ABAP web dynpro application. I used the standard Gantt UI element, which is a JNET control.
I had to learn a lot about using JNET and specifically the Gantt with webdynpro. I found some documentation but what I found is not very up to date, and I learned a few things the hard way. I am interested in possibly sharing what I learned here in a blog, but I am wondering if there is much interest? And anyway, will the JNET elements continue to be part of webdynpro or will they be replaced? For example, would Flash Islands be preferred over the JNET controls?
Does anyone know what the future might be for these JNET UI elements?
Thanks,
Margaret

>And anyway, will the JNET elements continue to be part of webdynpro or will they be replaced? For example, would Flash Islands be preferred over the JNET controls?
This is the SAP internal rules about JNET: JNET superseeds Islands. If something can be done in JNET, it must be done in JNET instead of Islands. Here is an example. An internal team built a org chart viewer in Flex as a Flash Island. However all Islands must be approved by the SAP UI Governance Council. The Council determined that the same thing could have been acomplished with JNET and therfore the Flex version was never allowed to ship to customers. Hopefully that example shows that we take JNET pretty seriously inside of SAP.

Check the enabled and readOnly property of the InteractiveFormUI element in your application.
enabled should be true and readOnly should be false.
Also just FYI interactive forms are licensable in Productive environment for which you need Adobe Credentials. You may contact SAP Account Manager and Note 736902 for it.

ABAP Webdynpro Development - Script Error when Accessing Visual Elements

I am encountering a strange error at my client . I can't use the Abap Webdynpro visual elements to build views .
To reproduce the error :
- T-code SE80
- Open up any ABAP webdynpro component .
- Open up one of the view and go on Tab Layout .
Normal Screen : You would see many WYSIWYG items ( buttons, radiobutton , text elements etcu2026. ) at the left side u2026 these elements are used to build the view .
Here : No elements displayed and when we click on that area we get an error .
Instead of the elements to get displayed .. lines are displayed and when you try to open up ( click ) the lines , an internet explorer script error stating the following occurs ( although the abap wendynpro is edited in SAP Gui ) :
An Error has occured in the script on this page .

Recently, we have upgraded our ERP system (SAP ECC 6.0 SPS17) with EHP4 SPS8. SAP_BASIS and SAP_ABA patch level same on 701_0008.
FQDN is mantianed at icm/host_name_full parameter in system as well as in /etc/hosts file with associated system IP address.
As suggested by Ted Dinh, we do not find any duplicate MIME files in our MIME Repository (SE80) and we cleared/invalidated ICM cache many times in problem analysis.
As suggested by Thierno Diarra , in our affected system domain WDY_MD_UI_ELEMENT_CATEGORY is well maintained in value ranges.
We have raised SAP OSS Message for the same, they told us to check dns server connectivity/settings with the affected system. we did the suggested DNS settings in affected system. But still the same error message is occuring. They have suggested same sap notes like #979039 and #1009930 & #1483210 , but all the corrections/suggections/SICF service status as mentioned, are found OK in our system.

How to create interactive forms in ABAP WebDynpro

Hi Experts,
we are trying to create our first interactive form with the "how to guide for ABAP WebDynpros".
Unfortunatelly we have a big problem on Step 17, where we want to save the created WebDynpro Application. After safing the system shows a pop up with following error message:
"you are not authorized to use function - Netzwerkadministration". Although we have all the necessary access rights in the system (ERP/Developer User).
But if we go on and create a service call (it's a guided procedure) for an existing BAPI, we can't select the function module interface parameters that we want to add to the context via checkboxes. There are no checkboxes available. but the how-to-guides shows checkboxes.
is maybe the first error the reason that we can't select the function modules? Please help. If you need the how-to-guide, please give me your eMail and I will provide it to you immediately.
Thank you very much in advance and regards,

Image UI element is not displayed in Abap webdynpro application

Hi Experts,
I need your advice on below issue.
I have created new ABAP Webdynpro application just to
display employee photo.
When loading the application, I generated a dynamic URL for
a image in webdynpro application path in cache to map to Image UI Element. It
is working well in DEV and QA environment. But it is not displaying when loaded
in PRD system.
Please suggest where to check the cache properties in system
in order to resolve this issue.
The user can access the application path, is there any chance for security issue in the same path?
I suspect the URL is cleared before user access it, can it be controlled via any config?
Looking forward for your valuable inputs.
Thanks,
Swetha

HI Swetha,
Maybe the image is not present in MIME repository for the PRD system.
Please check.

Abap Webdynpro & Adobe Interactive Forms : Refresh Context

We created a Abap Webdynpro program to fill an Adobe interactive form. When we read the first time the data the form context is filled and displayed. When we read other data then the form is not refreshed. This is only the case when the form is enabled as interactive.
When we use 2 views then everyting is ok. But we want to place the form in an Embedded View, then we have the same problem. Is this a know problem ?

Hi,
We faced a similar Issue. We could get past it by chaging the view property to "When Visible" for both the embedded view & Main view.
Try & letme know if it works. We are trying to solve some other issues aroind this right now. Only the checkboxes dont get populated the second time we go to the view having Adobe form. Rest all data on form is refreshed. But not the Check Boxes.
thanks,
Phani

Trigger workflow from ABAP webdynpro and attach an Adobe interactive form

I have a need to create an ABAP Webdynpro that will upload a completed Adobe interactive form and then route the form to multiple approvers thru workflow. I am having trouble finding any documentation or examples of passing the Adobe form in the workflow. Do I have to save the content of every field on the form to an internal table and then have every workitem call an ABAP webdynpro to render the form? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Joyce,
