Is Web Dynpro ABAP being used in production?

Friend,
My company wants to start using Web Dynpro ABAP.
I wanted to know if Web Dynpro ABAP is in ramp up mode or the latest release is good for production?
Are many of you already using Web Dynpro ABAP in production?
Thanks in advance.

THere are many ramp-up customers that are currectly developing/using WDA. It is still in ramp-up and not available for general customers. Are you a ramp-up customer for Netweaver 2004s? If so, you are free to develop and use WDA. If SAP felt that it wasn't ready, they probably wouldn't have released it for ramp-up. Any problems that have come out of ramp-up, have probably been addressed and fixed with support packs.
Regards,
Rich Heilman

Hello Ravidanda,
I have found a link that provides some information on how Web Dynpro ABAP is used in SAP SNC in the SAP Help. Here you go:

File Upload in Web Dynpro ABAP not using File Upload UI element

Hi all ,
I have searching for a way to upload a file using the file open dialog ( or even by manually specifying the path/file name) without using the file upload UI Element in ABAP web Dynpro . The File Upload UI element works for smaller files however with large file sizes 64 MB , the system seems to be running of memory (SYSTEM_NO_ROLL) . This is due to a known fact that the UI element makes a duplicate copy of the whole copy while it does the upload.
I have been looking at the ACFUPDOWNLOAD as a way to solve this problem but cannot seem to figure out how it works , even the sample program provided by SAP does not work. I am working with a regular abap server and not kpro( knowledge mananagement provider) or portal .
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks,
Ali.

If you are on NetWeaver 7.01, you can try both the ACFUpDownload UI element or try creating your own FileUpload in Adobe Flex with Flash Islands. ACFUpDownload requires the KPRO by default (which is why the same application isn't working for you), but you can write your own handler class to act as the KPRO receiver. Here is an eLearning on the topic:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/109b9b52-bc00-2c10-8786-e4c5e96d7e04
and source code:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/70645070-bb00-2c10-f086-f126721acdb4
If you want an eLearning on the FlashIslands approach, you can find it here as well:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/50d42644-91ef-2b10-228c-9e0ae75b274e
and Source Code:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/f044b62c-90ef-2b10-64a6-9ec25294d133
However in both of these approaches you still have to be careful with how you handle large files. The problem is that they are processed often a single binary string. This makes the processing easy, but requires total amount of session memory at least as large as the file being uploaded. In NetWeaver 7.02 ABAP adds the concept of Streams and Locators to help with the partial processing of large files. This feature doesn't come until later this year, but if you are interested you can learn about it here:

Web Dynpro ABAP Stylesheet - Portal Integration

We have a Web Dynpro ABAP being displayed through a Portal iView. The Portal server and the Web Dynpro ABAP server are separate. Our problem is in getting the Web Dynpro ABAP to use the stylesheet of the Portal.
We can make this work by forcing an external stylesheet (via application parameters, global Dynpro settings, or passed on the end of the URL), but we have to hard-code the full URI of the Portal stylesheet. This would be very hard to manage if we hard-code every iView's CSS location (or set every individual Web Dynpro's application parameters), and we want instead for the Portal to supply whatever the user's stylesheet is dynamically.
So what we want is: if we change the Portal stylesheet, the Portal would just pass the new stylesheet URI to our ABAP Web Dynpro iViews without manual modification of the iViews.
Here is an example of what works:
http://our-abap-server.com/sap/bc/webdynpro/sap/cprojects?sap-ep-themeroot=https://our-portal-server.com/irj/portalapps/com.sap.portal.design.portaldesigndata/themes/portal/ourportalstylesheetname
Shouldn't the Portal iView automatically pass sap-cssurl or sap-ep-themeroot to Web Dynpro ABAP? We have "Supply Portal Stylesheet" checked on the iView it just doesn't pass anything to the Web Dynpro ABAP. Why wouldn't SAP pass this parameter dynamically to the Web Dynpro ABAPs? Is this a product error?
There seems to be a great deal of confusion about this on the SDN message forums... I think this may be the core issue.
We are using a 7.0 SP13 Portal with an ECC 6.0 SP12 backend.

Now that you mention it, I ran into that exact same issue -- the application parameters didn't work for hard-coding the theme. The fix ended up being the web server semicolon thing I mentioned earlier (that was why the parameter didn't make it to the backend).
The themeroot is automatically sent to the backend from the portal, so you shouldn't really have to manually send it as a parameter anyways.
I'd suggest talking to your network guys. Also this could be the result of the SP you are on (we're on 13 for the portal and the backend system -- maybe this feature doesn't work in some earlier SP's?). There are also some options to force the theme as a WD application parameter on the backend side, which you could check into. Details on those are here:
[http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/7b/fb57412df8091de10000000a155106/frameset.htm]
Also you could look at the requests being made by installing HttpAnalyzer in your browser. You can inspect "post" parameters going from the portal to the backend system. One of those posts (the first one to the backend system) should contain the parameter sap-cssurl (same kind of thing as sp-ep-themeroot). This is where our problem turned up as this parameter was not being posted.
Lastly, make sure that your frontend portal and backend portal are in the same domain. For instance:
frontend.domain.com
backend.domain.com
If your backend and frontend are in different domains it messes all kinds of things up, including stylesheets I think. If you can't get around this, then read about domain relaxing (but I highly recommend getting the domains the same).
When we started, ours were:
portal.dx.company.com
sap.company.com
This created all kinds of problems. Putting our systems in the same domain with the same protocol and fixing our little semicolon web server problem fixed basically all of our portal complaints. Up until that time, we had also had many problems with session management (backend sessions were getting stuck until the HTTP timeout).
That's all I know. Good luck.

Opening External Window in Web Dynpro ABAP with URL disabled or Hidden

Hi Experts, I have a requirement where-in we want to open the Web Dynpro ABAP application using tcode WDYID (by passing the application name and startmode), but the URL of the newly opened explorer should be disabled or hidden. To achieve the same, I have created a component (lets name it PARENT) and inside that in DOMODIFY/DOINIT method have written code to invoke the required WDA (lets name it CHILD) in external window (by using lo_window_manager->CREATE_EXTERNAL_WINDOW) and is successfully able to open the application with URL disable using different parameter of method CREATE_EXTERNAL_WINDOW. But in this case there are 2 window which opens, one is for PARENT view and other is for CHILD. Now I only want to keep the second view (CHILD) to be opened and want to close the PARENT view. When I used EXIT_PLUG to close the PARENT window, it closes both the window. Need your inputs on my approach or if you have any. Regards, Harish

Hi,
If you open the popup, it opens as Modal Window, originating from Parent window. Without external window( where you can pass has_location = abap_false ), you cannot hide the URL/Address bar.
If you want to partially hide the URL( if you dont want to show the full URL with application path), you can create an Alias for the service in SICF.
Go to SICF, and create an alias for your WDA application; say original URL: domain:port/sap/bc/webdynpro/sap/<ZAPPLICATION_NAME>
This URL you can convert( partially hide) as, domain:port/sap/<ANY_NAME>
Refer creating Alias in this help: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_sem320bw/helpdata/en/55/361a3c9c004866e10000000a11402f/content.htm
Hope this helps u,

How to send Variable from a web dynpro abap application to anthor

HI all:
    I have two web dynpro abap applications .
    I want to send a Variable from a web dynpro abap application to another web dynpro abap application using post method.
    Because, now I have used append_field_url to send Variable,but this method will display the Variable in the URL.
    I do not need this result.
    I need the Variable from a web dynpro abap application to another web dynpro abap application and the Variable will not display in the URL.
    Can you give me an example?
    Thanks.

HI Nawal Kishor Mittal :
I have tried your method,but I can not get the value of variable.
My code is as follows:
The first web dynpro abap application:
DATA:BEGIN OF l_send,
     l_value TYPE string,
     END OF l_send.
l_send-l_value = '400001'.
EXPORT l_send-l_value FROM l_send TO SHARED MEMORY indx(aa) ID 'YTEST_MATNR'.
The second web dynpro abap application:
DATA:BEGIN OF m_send,
     s_value TYPE string,
     END OF m_send.
IMPORT m_send-s_value TO m_send FROM SHARED BUFFER indx(aa) ID 'YTEST_MATNR'.
DELETE FROM MEMORY ID 'YTEST_MATNR'.
Thanks.

Shared memory used in Web Dynpro ABAP

Hi Gurus,
I am using shared memory objects in Web Dynpro ABAP. Everything was working fine until we went live to production. After some research I realized that users are not always able to reach data in shared memory because of different approach of web environment and classic GUI when using more servers. Solution would be to go to database instead of shared memory. However I am still interested if there might be some other way to solve it. Any ideas?

To my understanding writing to the database is the safe option. There are no other ways to solve your problem with Shared memory.

Shooping cart creation in SRM 7.0 using web dynpro ABAP classes.

Hi,
We have recently upgraded to SRM 7.0 from SRM 4.0. We are using customized portal application for the creation of the shopping cart.I am planning to create custom FM which will use the standard Web dynpro ABAP classes to create the shopping cart.
Could you please guide with the classes that are need to be implemented and the sequence of the classes used in the shopping cart creation.
I think these are the classes that are used in the standard web dynpro ABAP component.
CL_FPM_EVENT ->                  Creates an instance of this class based on an event ID.
CL_BADI_FLT_DATA_TRANS_AND_DB -> Data Handling: Transport and Database.
CL_EXITHANDLER ->               Class for Ext. Services Within Framework of Exit Technique.
CL_EX_BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI ->     BAdI Class CL_EX_BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI.
CL_BBP_OBJECTS_ACCESS ->         Access Functions for Object Types.
/SAPSRM/CL_PDO_BO_SC ->          Shopping Cart BO.
Your expert comments will be appreciated...

Adobe form to save data using Web Dynpro ABAP

Hi. I am pretty new to SAP world and trying to learn and work on a task given to me relate to
creating Adobe offline form using Web Dynpro ABAP same time.
I have several questions and hopefully, many gurus like you will provide answers.
I noticed there are many examples creating and using Adobe interactive forms (though not many newer version),
but I didn't see (at least I didn't find any) any detail example on saving data to an internal table (such as fixed assets, vendor master, etc)
using interactive form. Is there any detail explanation/example on this?
I have ask this question in another forum (before I found this forum) but didnu2019t get the answer yet.
2. When I tried to see graphic layout and modify the layout from Web Dynpro, I can't see the graphic layout.
All I see is text list of fields/buttons that I created, but can't see section for graphic layout where I can modify layout.
I am sure I didn't install/configure something correctly.
Anyone has any idea what I didn't do?
I have another question, but I will wait till later after I figure out above ones first.
Thanks for all your help in advance.
John

Hi John,
In the WD4A view, there is a button "Show/Hide Layout Preview".
Click on that button to be able to see the Layout.
Note that this button is next to the Pretty Print button.

Reading HTML Content using Web Dynpro ABAP

Hello,
I was wondering if it is possible to read the content (HTML) behind a given URL using Web Dynpro ABAP. If so, are there any functions available to parse the HTML ? I have been asked to develop an application that requires going to a URL, reading the content, and formatting a table from that content for presentaion within Web Dynpro ABAP. The HTML of the URL is nothing more than a "Table of Contents" to existing documentation ( Word Documents )
Thank you for any help / advice you can provide
Larry

You can get the HTML returned in a table using fm RSFO_HTML_REQUEST2.
Once you have that, you can convert it to a string using any number of methods. CL_RSR_WWW_RENDERER=>TABLE_TO_STRING should work fine.
One option for parsing it would be to get it converted into an iXML object, but you might have to do quite a bit of manipulation first depending on what the html looks like. You can see more info here on iXML classes: [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/de/86/8280ba12d511d5991b00508b6b8b11/frameset.htm|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/de/86/8280ba12d511d5991b00508b6b8b11/frameset.htm]
Otherwise I would just make use of find statements with regex patterns to sort through the html.

Rules Engine using Web Dynpro ABAP

Hi,
Can we build a Rules Engine which works with Web Dynpro-ABAP? Something similar to BRM in CE-7.2.
Thanks,
Prasanna

Do you mean BRM or BRF. BRF is the name of the business rules framework that is integrated in the ABAP engine. BRM is Business Rules Management and a part of NetWeaver CE - running on the Java Stack and a part of SAP NetWeaver BPM (Business Process Management).
Generally if your work is all ABAP based you would use BRF. Here is a small eLearning that shows the usage of BRF within Web Dynpro ABAP.
