Knowledge and use of ABAP

Hi Gurus
I am new to BW and wanted to know how much knowledge of ABAP I need to have to become good BW consltant?
Are we using the ABAP only for transfer rules and update rules?
Can you give me some example or some sample programme which I can test in my system to have beter nderstanding?
Thanks
KK

Hi Krishna,
The knowledge once gained will always benefit you.
In Bw it is more of Functional sort of thing instead of technical.As we know,it is used for reporting pupose and all .All the rules etc are defined already by the SAP but there are some req or specific cases arises where we need to write a code.
Cases may come when you have separate R/3 system(APO,CRM etc) and you are working on BW-BPS sort of thing where you have to write to Tcubes and update the same back to R/3 etc.
Please reward for the same.

Cerate own icon and use in abap

Hi,
is it possible to create an own icon
and use in abap?
i have a graphik an .jpg an will use it as an icon.
thanks
regards, dieter

Yes it is possible (in a way)
You can change the existing icons, but they are stored as (gif or something) in my system it's on C:\Program Files\SAP\FrontEnd\SAPgui\bitmap
about 4 years ago I tried to do the same and I found a table which had the icon name and the filename of the bmp (i tried briefly to find the same table, but couldn't find it)
If you change the bmps in this map, and start the gui again, they are changed.
However, this only works on your workstation.
Kind regards, Rob Dielemans

How to get a parameter from BPC and use it in ABAP program

Hello gurus!
I got a problem...
SAP BPC will send parameters such as year, division, category, company code and so on via script logic to SAP BW.
I need to get these parameters from BPC and use them in a ABAP program as a filter.
This ABAP program will do several routines and return new values to BPC. It must be made on ABAP and I need to filter data to avoid performance issues.
Does anybody knows how to do it? or have a example of it?
Thank you in advance.
Regards,
Rubens Kumori

Hello, I'm looking for a suggest.
I need to pass two parameters (users can input them in a data manager package in bpc) to a BAdI.
In this BAdI I write a code that store those parameters in a InfoObject.
The problem is:
- one parameter is for CATEGORY value. CATEGORY is a dimension of the application and I read the value with a code like this:
      READ TABLE it_cv INTO l_s_it_cv
           WITH TABLE KEY dim_upper_case = 'C_CATEGORY'.
- other parameter is a generic DATE. this parameter is not a dimension of the application and I don't know how I can retrieve this value in BAdI.
      READ TABLE it_cv INTO l_s_it_cv
           WITH TABLE KEY dim_upper_case = '.....'.
The data manager dynamic script is:
PROMPT(SELECTINPUT,,,,"%CATEGORY_DIM%")
PROMPT(TEXT,%SELECTED_DAY%,"Write the date (format YYYYMMDD)",)
I also have a dynamic constant that assign the name %CATEGORY_DIM% to "C_CATEGORY" value.
Can anyone help me?
thanks a lot

Best Practice for Use of ABAP in Customizing SRM and/or CRM

I was wondering if there is a document that defines best practices for the use of ABAP with the installation and customization of SRM and/or CRM. Such as amount of ABAP coding typically required, and best practices around the use of ABAP for customization and configuration.
Thanks.

Read data from MDM For Lookup and Flat table using MDM ABAP API

Hi,
I have requriment to read data from MDM from FLAT and Lookup table using MDM ABAP API. My design is like this ,
I have one ITEMS (Main table in MDM) and inside that i have one Lookup flat table ITEM_TYPE , my requriment is to read Item number and its related Item type.
From ABAP.
Please help if any body has any idea.
Regards,

HI Guys,
I found my solution by myself. Below is the solution , hope this will help others:-
Retrieve data from MDM using MDM ABAP API.
Step- 1. Create structure in SAP with the same name as that of MDM field code for MDM Main table.
Step-2. Create another structure in SAP having all lookup fields of MDM , fieldname in ECC must be same as that of MDM field
code.
Step-3.Create structure in SAP for individual lookup field(Single Field only)   with the same name as MDM Field code.
Step-4.
DATA: IT_QUERY            TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF MDM_QUERY, "MDM_QUERY_TABLE,

My MacBook Air tells me I'm out of memory. to my knowledge I use only 65 GB for documents, photos, videos, apps, and it tells me that 75 GB is taken by "other" What is in other, and how can I fix it?

my MacBook Air tells me I'm out of memory. to my knowledge I use only 65 GB for documents, photos, videos, apps, and it tells me that 75 GB is taken by "other" What is in other, and how can I fix it?

For information about the Other category in the Storage display, see this support article. If the Storage display seems to be inaccurate, try rebuilding the Spotlight index.
Empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. If you use iPhoto, empty its internal Trash first:
iPhoto ▹ Empty Trash
Do the same in other applications, such as Aperture, that have an internal Trash feature. Then restart the computer. That will temporarily free up some space.
According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation—not the mythical 10%, 15%, or any other percentage. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of the data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
When Time Machine backs up a portable Mac, some of the free space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of recently deleted files. The space occupied by local snapshots is reported as available by the Finder, and should be considered as such. In the Storage display of System Information, local snapshots are shown as Backups. The snapshots are automatically deleted when they expire or when free space falls below a certain level. You ordinarily don't need to, and should not, delete local snapshots yourself. If you followed bad advice to disable local snapshots by running a shell command, you may have ended up with a lot of data in the Other category. Ask for instructions in that case.
See this support article for some simple ways to free up storage space.
You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) or GrandPerspective (GP) to explore the volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can also delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one. Note that ODS only works with OS X 10.8 or later. If you're running an older OS version, use GP.
Deleting files inside an iPhoto or Aperture library will corrupt the library. Any changes to a photo library must be made from within the application that created it. The same goes for Mail files.
Proceed further only if the problem isn't solved by the above steps.
ODS or GP can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
Back up all data now.
If you have more than one user account, make sure you're logged in as an administrator. The administrator account is the one that was created automatically when you first set up the computer.
Install the app you downloaded in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
Triple-click anywhere in the corresponding line of text below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
sudo /Applications/GrandPerspective.app/Contents/MacOS/GrandPerspective
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator. Ignore any other messages that appear in the Terminal window.
The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders, sorted by size. It may take a few minutes for the app to finish scanning.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means. When in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
When you're done with the app, quit it and also quit Terminal.

Hey i can connect to the internet and use the wifi but at random times it just disconnects to it leaving me using my data sometimes w/o knowledge cause of watching youtube does anyone else have this issue if or have any recomendations on how to fix it?

it hasnt happened before the update just would like for it to stop

HI again Andy,
The last message had some more stuff in between the "Hello" and "Regards" - I have no idea what happened to it. But nevermind...
I started up the Mini with the modem in one usb, and the speaker system in the other (M-Audio Sonica Theatre) - I have one of the Minis that have only 2 USB (and one FireWire) ports. The firewire has the external drive connected to it.
So far, as I"m typing this, I AM able to be online and use iTunes simultaneously. (both SaFari and iTunes respond slower than if I was using only one or the other, but they ARE actually working - in addition to having Adium running) - So I think what you suggested ( that is was something wonky was the USB hub) was a correct, yet assessment.
Would you have any reccommendations for USB hubs? The only thing that I have connected to the hub under normal circumstances that would be constantly "running" would be the RadioShark (even though the Radio soft isn't playing - the blue light on the RadioShark is always on) - and the speakers naturally. Everything else is of the occassional variety - iPod Sync Cable, Dual Layer External DVD Burner, and a "pass thu" to the USB ports on my Hard Drive Enclosure (which had been unplugged before the problem was noticed). The hub I current use is the
Kensington DomeHub USB 2.0 (7 ports) Weighted Hub 33118 http://www.amazon.com/Kensington-DomeHub-ports-Weighted-33118/dp/B0002FHENE/ref= sr16/002-4275642-8664817?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1187848108&sr=8-6
which (I thought) worked better than the "throwaway" ones I had used previously.
You think it is the hub or something connected to it that may be causing the problem?
Regardless, thank you for your time, and I hope to hear from you soon.

Understanding Flex: Can it be used without Flash-knowledge, and some other questions

Hi.
I'm trying to understand how Flex works. My understanding is
that Flex is like the integration link between Flash-content and
.NET-applications on the web. We need rich interface on our
.NET-applications - without ActionScript-coding required from the
programmer's side.
Can this be acheived with Flex alone?
What is Coldfusion required for? Can Flex be used without it
to create the rich web interface?
Are basic components included and ready-to-be-used? What if
special components are needed? E.g. multi-level menu-tree or some
special data grid. Can this be developed by a Flash-programmer and
used as a "generic" component?
My reason for choosing this would be that we easily can
acheive great web-layouts that are Flash-based, and that interact
with our .NET-applications. Is this the product I'm looking for?
Thanks alot in advance! :D

It is absolutely possible to create complex custom components
in Flex and without FlashPro.
Flex can communicate with the server in several ways.
WebService: SOAP-based
HTTPService: XML over HTTP, (like REST and AJAX)
RemoteObject: uses proprietary amf protocol, needs Java or CF
on back-end
There are some others like URLLoader and sockets.
Unless you need your back end functionality to be generally
available to anonymous third parties (hence the wsdl), WebServices
are unnecessarily complex.
I prefer HTTPService, I post xml strings in the normal
name=value format to the server and use e4x xml as the resultFormat
in flex.
Even though you said "roughly", that is still an impossible
question to answer, there are too many variables: On the back-end,
do you need to install a database? Create the schema? or is some of
that part done already? On the front-end, How will you navigate the
records? See, too many variables.
The communication part is by far the easiest. Almost
negligible, although the Flash Player security can cause some
head-scratching!

ABAP Dictionary structure for use in ABAP Mapping

Hello, I'm creating an ABAP mapping class which requires me to use standard ABAP dictionary (table) structures (ex.MARA, KNA1 etc) for the mapping as the data coming into the mapping is in that format. I'm creating the ABAP class in the PI server and do not have table structures (MARA, KNA1 etc) in the dictionary in the PI server. What is the efficient way to create these structures (as Z elements) in the PI server's dictionary?
I have the XSD of these table structures. Can I import those XSDs into the ABAP dictionary in PI servers? If yes, how can it be done? Please help!

Yes you can import it as an external definition data and create the data type based on this XSD. Go through the link below for more information on the steps to import and how to use it.

What the difference and use between   of TABLES and SY-REPID?

Hi,
Experts,
I have came accross 2 cases that i can't able understand
EX1:
TABLES: VBAP   -
>( Here also Appplication Server(AS) creates Wrokarea of Structure VBAP but, by
data: v_vbeln like vbap-vbeln.    double clicking on variable v_vbeln AS taking me to DDIC VBAP table VBELN field then what the using declaring tables. )
( and )
DATA: VBAP TYPE VBAP -->( Here also Appplication Server(AS) creates Wrokarea of Structure VBAP data: v_vbeln like vbap-vbeln.    but,double clicking on variable v_vbeln AS taking me to user declared VBAP
                                              i.e., above DATA declaration statement )
Then Which one is better in Functionality wise as well as Performance wise or when we have to go for TABLES and when we have to go for DATA declaration of DDIC objects.
EX2:
what the difference between
I know that SY_REPID is not a system variable. And also that
Data: vrepid type SY_REPID.--> Predefined data type in ABAP
and
Data: vrepid like SY_REPID.-> Predefined Constatnt in ABAP( it is a constant it allowing with out VALUE
attribute)
what difference between them and when we have to go Data: vrepid type SY_REPID and when we have to go Data: vrepid like SY_REPID.
Thank U,
Shabeer Ahmed.

Hi Ahmed,
TABLES:
VBAP.   " DDIC
DATA:
v_vbeln like vbap-vbeln.
*Here you are using the DDIC VBAP
DATA:
VBAP TYPE VBAP.
DATA:
vbeln like vbap-vbeln.
*Here you are using the local data object as your data type so it will always
* take you to user declared VBAP which is declared by you.
DATA:
T_VBAP TYPE VBAP.
DATA:
vbeln like vbap-vbeln.
* here its using T_VBAP not DDIC VBAP
And for performance always the second option is better, use Data instead of tables, declare your own local structure.
Data:
vrepid type SY_REPID. thereis nop redefined data type in ABAP as SY_REPID
* its SY-REPID which is a system variable.
Data:
vrepid type SY-REPID.
Also refer to the links:

I'm looking for t-code to extract detailed sales report having Gross sales, Exempt sales , Ship to state, Ship to County\ City, Sales Tax collected. If I'm getting this report i can verify what my sales tax software is updating.
When i extract tcode - ZINVLIS i don't get much detail.
Please help me in extracting complete sales detail which can be used for sales and use tax verification process and audit purpose.
Thanks,

Hi Karthik,
There is no standard report available as per my knowledge.You may develop Z report to achive your requirment. Check some LIS report can give data (MC01 is transaction where you can check all type of key figure reports)

I need advise and help with this problem .
First , I have been with Mac for many years ( 14 to be exact ) I do have some knowledge and understanding of Apple product .
At the present time I'm having lots of problems with the router so I was looking in to some info , and come across one web site regarding : port forwarding , IP addresses .
In my frustration , amongst lots of open web pages tutorials and other useless information , I come across innocent looking link and software to installed called Genieo , which suppose to help with any router .
Software ask for permission to install , and about 30 % in , my instinct was telling me , there is something not right . I stop installation . Delete everything , look for any
trace in Spotlight , Library . Nothing could be find .
Now , every time I open Safari , Firefox or Chrome , it will open in my home page , but when I start looking for something in steed of Google page , there is
''search.genieo.com'' page acting like a Google . I try again to get raid of this but I can not find solution .
With more research , again using genieo.com search eng. there is lots of articles and warnings . From that I learn do not use uninstall software , because doing this will install more things where it come from.
I do have AppleCare support but its to late to phone them , so maybe there some people with knowledge , how to get this of my computer
Any help is welcome , English is my learned language , you may notice this , so I'm not that quick with the respond

Genieo definitely doesn't help with your router. It's just adware, and has no benefit to you at all. They scammed you so that they could display their ads on your computer.
To remove it, see:
http://www.thesafemac.com/arg-genieo/
Do not use the Genieo uninstaller!

How to store the value of request message and use it in Response mapping

Hi All,
We have an requirement where we need to store the data coming in Request Mapping and use the stored value in Response Mapping. Can anybody help us in how to proceed?
Thanks
Sujata

Hi!
In Mapping you may use the RFC Lookup function to store values in database table during request mapping and to read values from database table during response mapping.
You can also use an ABAP or Java Mapping "in front of your" message mapping to store/read the values.
You can also use an Adapter Module (if applicable for the adapter type you use) and/or a UDF to store the data e.g. in Dynmaic Configuration Header of Request Message and to read these data from Dynamic Configuration Header of Response Message. But this works only for synchronous scenarios (and it means overhead in your message traffic).
Hope these thinkings help you o find the most suitable way for your concrete scenario!
Regards,
Volker

These techniques help you to avoid using BPM.
