Java and SAP

Hi all:
Just wondering if someone could advise me on the following: Im quite new to SAP and wish to look at moving my Java skills into the SAP development arena; therefore do most individuals create apps in the workbench or can applications be developed in say Borland and then ported into the SAP environment? I havent seen the Java environment within NetWeaver yet, however does on need to become familiar with and/or have an understanding of ABAP before you can apply your Java development skills?
Thanks

Hi Oliver,
SAP now offers SAP Netweaver (which is a web-based, open integration and application platform) which has many components like Enterprise Portal, SAP XI, BW etc etc.
Now see this diagram, and you will see that at the bottom
you have Application Platform which supports both Java and ABAP. This application platform is SAP WAS (Web Application Server)which forms foundation for all components mentioned here
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/30/c4461ff69d5a438f1286e344b545fa/content.htm
Now it actually depends on which area you want to move to. Like Enterprise Portal development needs Java skills and you can actually use Netweaver development to environment to create your applications.
Infact you can develop and deploye J2EE applications as well.
Infact I too don't know ABAP well and have significantly contributed to Portal Development projects. So, in short you dont need ABAP knowledge for all arenas of SAP.
Let me know if u want to understand this in detail.

Piyush
ps: please mark useful answers.

XML data file links java and sap

Hi ,
Please help me this
How to connect xml file to java into sap
please send me sample scenario.
in java i call the this sap function module 'BAPI_MAT_BOM_EXISTENCE_CHECK'.
1. Check BOM existence with BAPI_MAT_BOM_EXISTENCE_CHECK
2. Exit BOM diff if BOM doesn’t exist
3. Read BOM structure with CSAP_MAT_BOM_READ
4. Compare SAP BOM items incl. subitems to XML BOM items and subitems

currently I use following methods tu opload and to transfor the xml into a string.
* Method to create XML from data file
CALL METHOD instance->import_from_file
    EXPORTING
      filename = gf_filename
    RECEIVING
      retcode = ch_retcode.
* Convert into XML-Stream
CALL METHOD instance->render_2_string
* EXPORTING
*    pretty_print = 'X'
    IMPORTING
    retcode      = ch_retcode
      stream       = lf_string .
*    size         = .
When I use read dataset the output of the xml is into an internal table where I have many lines depending on the XML data file, this means if my xml has 10lines the internal table of read dataset has also 10 lines but I need a string to make the transformation of the xml.

Java and SAP in the next years ?

Hello,
Is it a good thing to begin to develop around SAP in Java currently ?
It has been said that it will not be supported if i'm not mistake.
Thanks,
Smoltok

Hi
Java is a Platform independent technology so that it can be used by all the system, ERP like SAP need to communicate with
different type of system and nedd to handle huge set of data. For this Java is a power full language hence Java is used in SAP. J2ee has a huge number of Design patters wich will help to solve the archeture problem easily.
SAP netweaver is mostly build on Java engine only. So the combination of SAP and Java will be success for next Years
but People say ABAP is going to replace JAVA in SAP, But as of its quite impossibel because ABAP is mainly ment for Data processing.

Relation between JAVA and SAP

Hi,
Can anyone please suggect me whether we can upgrade one application from JAVA to SAP.
Appreciate Help.
Many Thanks,
Krutibash

Hi,
am I right when I say you want to migrate an existing java application (which kind of java application???)
The SAP netweaver Java application server is "just" an application server like others (e.g. JBoss) so that you can deploy your applications there too. In most cases.
Or what do you mean when you say you want to upgrade an application from Java to SAP?

PO from JAVA to SAP

hi friends..
can you explain me fallows..
suppose i want to upload PO from JAVA to SAP means..we can do wit BAPI.
in what way we connect these JAVA and SAP ?
what is BAPI Active X control ?

hi,
You need to call the BAPI BAPI_PO_CREATE / BAPI_PO_CREATE1 in SAP from your Java development via a RFC connection. You can read the FM Documentations which are available in detail.
Your Basis colleagues can help you with the creation of RFC settings.
Hope this helps.

Data transfer between SAP & Java and Vice versa using IDOC Process

Dear Experts,
        We are working on one of the good requirement related to data transfer between SAP and Java software. Client requirement is, they want to transfer the data in both the ways (from SAP --> Java and Vice versa also).
In detail is, after sales order creation using one custom program loading plan details will be calculated. Once loading dates are confirmed then, user will release the sales document to transfer the data from SAP to Java using "Outbound IDOC processing". Similarly in that JAVA software some shipment details will be performed, once completed from JAVA software again details needs to be pumped back to SAP as "Inbound IDOC Processing".
For this fields are already identified from external software SAP and we are looking for the same to perform the steps in SAP.
At this stage, I need your expert opinion / feedback how to go about at this stage.
Meaning,
                 1. What are the customizing steps needs to be done in SAP..?
                 2. How to trigger the :Outbound IDOC process" once the documents are "Released" from custom transaction
                 3. How to create the link between SAP and JAVA to transfer the data between these 2 software
                 4. How to trigger the "Inbound IDOC Process" from JAVA software to SAP and how to store the data in SAP
Experts, please give your feedback in terms of reply or by sending the step by step process to fulfill this client requirement.
Thanks for your cooperation.
Regards,
Ramesh

Maybe too many open questions in the same document.
Maybe you should repost a more specific question in a technical forum.
This looks like a small project where you already know what you want, maybe you should contract a technical specialist so he proceeds to the implementation!

SAP NetWeaver 70 - Java and ABAP VMware Trial.part02.rar CRC error?

HI,
I've downloaded the file:
SAP NetWeaver 70 - Java and ABAP VMware Trial.part02.rar
of SAP NetWeaver 7.0 - Java and ABAP Trial Version on Linux - VMware Edition
four times and everytime a get a CRC error in the RAR file. Is the file wrong or the download incorrect?
Regards, Edwin Slee

Hi Henry.
Ive downloaded the file again. Now it is called:
SAP NetWeaver 70 - Java and ABAP VMware Trial.part02.tgz
But it is a RAR file.
As you suggested I open the file with WINRAR 3.61 and select
Tools -> repair archive
In the directory a file:is created with the name:
rebuilt.SAP NetWeaver 70 - Java and ABAP VMware Trial.part02.tgz
The WINRAR message box reads:
Detecting archive type...
---> RAR
Build fixed.SAP NetWeaver 70 - Java and ABAP VMware Trial.part02.tgz
Searching for recovery record
---> recovery record not found
Build rebuilt.SAP NetWeaver 70 - Java and ABAP VMware Trial.part02.tgz

Found SLES10SP1_Test_Drive(2)-s004.vmdk
Found SLES10SP1_Test_Drive(2)-s005.vmdk
When I open this file with WINRAR again a try to extract
SLES10SP1_Test_drive(2)-s003.vmdk I still get a CRC error, the archive file is corrupted.
I think the error isnt due to the download, because Ive downloaded the file using three different internet connections (8 times now) and all the files are identical, with a CRC error !

"Java and BAPI Technology for SAP" by by Ken Kroes - Is this book useful?

Howdy partners,
I've got a 'book' called "Java and BAPI Technology for SAP" by by Ken Kroes, Anil Thakur, Gareth M. deBruyn, Robert Lyfareff.
Now, does anyone know if the info in this book is still relevant to the modern SAP world? I mean its still talking about ITS and stuff like that?
Any input will be appreciated.

With the blue cover? I have one with the something similar title, but it's quite out of date. There was lot of improvement on the Java side.
So I would prefer something newer from SAP-PRESS. Check the SAP-PRESS site.
BTW I don't consider ITS as an old technology...it was just integrated recently into WAS 640 to make it more powerful. This is the only available technology, which converts classic Dynpro to Webpage dynamically.

SAP NetWeaver 04s SP7 Java Version And SAP NetWeaver 04s ABAP Version

Hello,
I would like to ask if anyone has installed both Java and ABAP version on PC/Notebook.
What did you install first and why?
When installing the second of the two, did you need to turn off or detete any part of first installation?
Any advice on the installation of both versions on one PC would be appriciated.
Thank You,
Spiro.

Hi. I have installed NW04s ABAP stack and the NW04 Java stack(slim edition) on my laptop. I installed ABAP first, then the java stack. I did do it the other way around, but the ABAP stack would not load successfully, so remember ABAP first, then java. No, did not turn off or delete anything from the abap installation.

BI Java and BI ABAP -RSPLAN issue

Hi All
We are working with BI system ,using BI 7.0 Java and BI ABAP as separate systems on same host.
Already run the template intaller for BI Java and ABAP integration.
But facing some issue ,when going ot BI ABAP and RSPLAN and clicking the Start Mideller
it is opening a browser as http://host:8000/sap/public/myssocntl?sap-client-XXX
Since this is not correct and it should open BI Java portal instead of ABAP stack page.
Instead this should open a Url like this http://host:5XX00/webdynpro/dispatcher/sap.com/biplanworkbench1/Modeler?
I check on BI ABAP system under SAP Reference IMG -> SAP Customizing Implementation Guide-> SAP NetWeaver _> Business Intelligence-> BI Integrated Planning -> Settings for Starting the Planning Modeler.
There the default Url is BEx Portal Server and the url is
http://host:5XX00/webdynpro/dispatcher/sap.com/biplanworkbench1/Modeler
Can anybody let me know why this is going to ABAP server instead it should go to Java.
Regards
Ajay
