Managing attachments on ABAP Webdynpro

Hi All,
I want to attch some files on ABAP webdynpro and send the same to R/3 Workflow.
I want again to get the same from Workflow container and show as link on ABAP Webdynpro.
Thanks
Deb

Hi Deb,
Try implement [Michael's approach|Upload file in Web Dynpro and add to Workflow container as SOFM object; where he talks about using FM SWL_SOFM_CREATE_WITH_TABLE to be able to send out documents from Web Dynpro ABAP & add to WorkFlow Container as an SOFM object.

Attachments from Workflow to ABAP Webdynpro launched from UWL

Hi All,
You might have seen a recent post from me for sending attachments from ABAP Webdynpro to Workflow.
I could do that by just calling SAP_WAPI_ATTACHMENT_ADD. I didnt have to create an instance of the SOFM object
by passing the ATT_ID from this function module.
Now the next task of the workflow which is sent to UWL, automatically carries the attachements in the Workitem.
I didnt do binding from workflow container to Task container. (I dont know how!!)
But I need to get those attachments on my ABAP Webdynpro after it is launched from UWL.
For this I am using SAP_WAPI_GET_ATTACHEMENTS. But this FM is giving me the BOR reference.
How do use this to get the attachments displayed on my Webdynpro as links?
Thanks
Deb

Hi Debabra,
I have similar requirement where I want to add new attachment from Webdynpro abap to workflow and again next level want to view it in UWL in another Webdynpro abap from workflow.
I am trying to attach the document from Webdynpro to Workflow I used FM SAP_WAPI_ATTACHMENT_ADD and looks like it attached in workflow.
Can you please tell how the second part was solved where I want to attach document from workflow to Webdynpro abap
Thanks,

ECatt - ABAP WebDynpro - Floorplan Manager

Does anyone know how to create eCatt scripts for ABAP WebDynpro applications that contain Application Configurations using the Floorplan Manager. We are using SRM 7.0 and all user transactions are WebDynpro based. In order to regression test changes to certain development objects we want to utilize eCatt. However, the WebDynpro applications all use the Floorplan Manager concept in SRM. So, there is one basic WebDynpro Application Component (FPM_OIF_COMPONENT). There are multiple WebDynpro Applications defined (in our example, /sapsrm/wda_l_fpm_oif) for this one application component. Within this Application, there are multiple application configurations (in our example /SAPSRM/WDAC_I_FPM_OIF_SC_PROF).
Does anyone know if:
A. eCatt supports WebDynpro ABAP (I have seen many old posts that indicate WebDynpro ABAP is not supported but nothing recent)
B. How to create test scripts using Application components with multiple applications and multiple application configurations.
Thanks!

Thanks Thomas for your quick reply.
Thomas Jung wrote:
Testing is done via Web Dynpro Application. So you would need to create an application (even if just temporary for testing) for each configuration set that has the application configuration built into the application parameters.
A point of clarification:
Within the WebDynpro Component (FPM_OIF_COMPONENT in my example), I would need to create a new Application and then a new Application Configuration that is an exact copy of the Application configuration used in the standard SAP ? If yes, that is a significant undertaking for these new SRM applications. Since this Floorplan Manager concept seems to be the wave of the future is there any plan to allow eCatt to use the input of the Application Configuration rather than (or in addition to) the WD Application itself?
Regardless, thanks again, I have been searching for this answer for a few days now.

Document Attachment via Manage Attachments

Hi All,
I am trying to find where I could customize the document attachment logic of RPM. The document is attached via Home->Universal Worklist->Manage Attachments.
Customization required is to rename all documents manually attached.
Are there any BADI/Enhancement spots for this requirement? I have looked on all existing BADI in RPM but havent seen any that would fit the requirement.
If this is not abap modification, is this java webdynpro coding?
Thanks in advance!
Renz

Issue is resolved.
I have found FM in RPM that is triggered by Upload button via RFC, and the FM is SAP_WAPI_ATTACHMENT_ADD

SOFM: Dsiplay method is not working when called from ABAP Webdynpro

Hi All,
I want to open an attachment from ABAP Webdynpro.
I have approached in this fashion:
1) Get the attachments as SOFM object key
2) On Click of a link on Webdynpro, I am calling a function module within which I am creating an instance of the SOFM object
3) Then I am calling the DISPLAY method
It is not opening.
But, if it opens when I driectly execute the function module. It open when I directly test the business object.
Any Idea ?
Thanks & Regards,
Deb

Display Method uses the Dialogue Module, You should not access such methods in web dynpro which are SAPGUI specific.
Web Dynpro Applications are run in Browser environment which cannot understand Dialog, it can understand only HTML.
Read the attachments and get the content and use FileDownload UI element to show it to user.

PR05 Transaction Iview from Abap Webdynpro

Hi,
From abap webdynpro, on action of one button, i'm calling PR05(Travel Expense Manager) screen by passing the parameters as follows and calling NAVIGATION_ABSOLUTE method:
BUS_PARAMETER-KEY = 'PTP00-PERNR'.
BUS_PARAMETER-VALUE = LS_EMPLOYEE_NODE-PERNR.
Insert BUS_PARAMETER into table BUS_PARAMETER_LIST.
CLEAR BUS_PARAMETER.
BUS_PARAMETER-KEY = 'PTP1000-REINR'.
BUS_PARAMETER-VALUE = LS_HEADER_NODE-REINR.
Insert BUS_PARAMETER into table BUS_PARAMETER_LIST.
It opens PR05 screen, with the correct employee list, but it does not populate the tripnumber and also it should skip the first screen.
In the IView, i have already given OKCODE='MOD' for change of the trip and also PROCESS_FIRST_SCREEN=YES.
In the business parameter i try to add for selecting the particular line in the table control of the PR05 screen, but that doesn't work.
BUS_PARAMETER-KEY = 'PTP1000-MARKER(01)'.
BUS_PARAMETER-VALUE = 'X'.
Insert BUS_PARAMETER into table BUS_PARAMETER_LIST.
CLEAR BUS_PARAMETER.
BUS_PARAMETER-KEY = 'TRIPCHANGEINTERACTIV'.
BUS_PARAMETER-VALUE = 'X'.
Insert BUS_PARAMETER into table BUS_PARAMETER_LIST.
So any inputs on how to auto select the line based on the trip number and go directly to particular change trip.

Hi Alex,
is there no possibility to open the transaction by calling a link? For example like this way:
host, port, system, mandant, user, password, tcode (e.g.: 192.168.100.2:6000:xi?mand=300&user=xyz&passwd=xxx&tcode=se16).
Do anybody other know if there is a possibility doing like this?
Greetings, Alexander

Floor plan manager in WD ABAP

Hi All,
Can you please tell me how to use Floor plan manager in WD ABAP.
Thanks in advance.
Sonia

Hi Neha Agarwal,
I have a webdynpro leave request application which is in Floor Plan Manager in Java webdynpro.
My leave request java WD application has 4 different functional steps like view-> edit->review-> complete.
User completes the steps one by one...and for that there are 4 screens--and user moves from one screen to another after completing each step.
Now I made the changes in the edit view which has the duration field which needs to be filled with half of the work schedule allocated to the employee per day if they chose half day leave in the application.
As per the requirement duration field populated the data(half of the work schedule allocated to the employee per day ) but when I hit review button,navigation goes to the next screen duration field has the value of full work schedule (say 8 hours)which suppose to be half of the workschedule .(say 4 hours).
any clues ?what will be the root cause of this problem..............
Higher points will be rewarded for the useful inputs.............
Thanks in Advance,
Dharani

Is it possible to launch a Screen Personas screen from an ABAP WebDynpro application?

I am running SAP EHSM Incident Management within SAP Portal. EHSM has an ABAP WebDynpro frontend based on BOPF/FPM
In the same portal session for a single user, we want to be able be in an
active record in EHSM and then launch a screen personas screen based on a
SAPGUI transaction from either a button click or portal tab click. As part of
the launch, we want to pass an HR PERNR ID to the Screen Personas/SAPGUI
transaction from the active record in EHSM and run a search. Is it possible to
do this? Project team is saying this is a technical limitation.
I know that Screen Personas cannot be used for a WebDynpro screen, but we just want to launch a screen and pass a parameter. We assumed during blueprint this would be possible.
Thanks

This is definitely possible.
Here is a link containing an example of building the URL to start a transaction via Personas and pass a variable plus a command in the URL. This could be enhanced with specifying the flavor as well.

Adding TabPage to (FPM) Standard ABAP Webdynpro Application

Hi
i'm beginning with ABAP webdynpro so i have been investigating tutorials and documentation about this and i created some sample programs for show Z tables or things like that.
But my requirement is modificate the Standard Application 'Course Registration' of Student Lifecycle Management module ; this application has 3 Standard TapPages , one of these TabPages shows the courses to be booked and i need to add another new TabPage in order to show the courses to be booked divided for some criteria in the original TabPage and the new TabPage , the new TabPage must have the same functionality of original Tabpage. Something like enhance Standard program with Screen Exit and Badis in ABAP.
I was investigated and now i know we can enhance Standard WD Component like deleting UI elements, enhance methods or add view/windows ; but the 'Course Registration' is a FPM application so i found a tutorial cookbook configuration for this application and it explains we can add TabPages (MainViews) or SubTabPages (Subviews) like i need ; but the tutorial only mentions the 3 original standard TabPages because all is related with already existing configurations for each component ; In FPM framework configuration for the component if i press the 'Add View' button it adds a TabPage like i want, but i really do not know if it works for add a new 'Z' TabPage.
Can somebody please help me about how can i add a TabPage to Standard Webdynpro Application for application wich uses FPM framework ? Where can i investigate about this ?
Excuse me for long thread , any help will be appreciated.
Best Regards
Frank

Thanks Madhu
Please let me give detail ; I just go to desired Application PIQ_MBSS_OIF , Configuration PIQAC_MBSS_OIF ; the configuration shows its two component configurations for Header IDR (FPM_IDR_COMPONENT) and floor plan specific (FPM_OIF_COMPONENT).
In WD Component FMP_OIF_COMPONENT with standard configuration PIQCC_MBSS_OIF i see the tree Satndard TabPages created , one of these Tabpage is wich i need to divide in two Tabpages ; in this Standard TabPage i see its required UIBBs with each standard UIBB configuration (ie. FPM_LIST_UIBB with configuration PIQCC_MBSS_BCART_LIST for the table list).
Here is where i really do not know if my requirement can be made by just using FPM framework configurations : can i copy Standard Configuration for FMP_OIF_COMPONENT , add the new Tabpage , save it with new 'Z' configuration , and it will work ok in the Standard Application ? For add the Tabpage i should then add configurations for the UIBBs wich compose the TabPage (FPM_LIST_UIBB , FPM_TABBED_UIBB and PIQUIBB_POPUP_AGENT ) , is this right ?
I hope the explanation is clear ; any orientation will be helpfull.
Best Regards

Your opinion on: BSP or Java Webdynpro or ABAP Webdynpro?

Could you please give me your opinion on the business scenario we have here:
We are implementing SRM 4.0 with backend R/3 4.6C, WAS 6.4 and Portal 6.0. SRM has its typical shopping cart applications mainly for procurement and the workflow trail displaying the approval. The client wants us to build a few custom forms on the web frontend of SRM (or may be in Portal). The idea is to store these forms and display when needed with the status info just like a shopping cart.
Now the requirements for these forms are as follows:
1. These forms will have multiple fields which need to have the F4 kind of help. (the F4 options will reside in SRM or R/3)
2. The form should have some kind of a ALV grid (autoexpanding feature) which will allow the user to put in multiple line items so that they could submit more items on one form.
3. Users need to be able to attach a spreadsheet to the form which should not be editable once the form is submitted. The attached spreadsheet should be stored. (We are planning on using Archivelink Filenet for this)
4. Upon submission, a workflow will be kicked off as per the defined Org structure for approval of the form.
5. After submission, the user should be able to go and view the approval status of the form and also print the summary of the values that he entered in the form. (may be a smartform could be provided for this)
We looked at different options to accomplish this task:
BSP:
Creating BSP pages and giving access as links to the user on the webfrontend of SRM. Now, if we go the BSP route, we need to develop in SRM as the R/3 4.6 c does not have BSP development capabilities. If we take this approach, I am not sure if all the above requirements (specially like attaching spreadhseets) will be met with BSP pages.
SAP Webdynpro Java:
It seems that the Webdynpro is easier to use because of the graphical tools available. But the only problem if we go this route is that we will have to find a java guy.
SAP Webdynpro ABAP:
We currently have WAS 6.4. As per the documentation, the ABAP Webdynpro development tool is available from NW04s onwards. So, we are still not sure if we could use it. But, we want to push towards upgrading if necessary. Being an old time ABAPer, developing ABAP Webdynpro seems do-able. (i know it may not be that easy).
Last but not the least, DIALOG Program:
Creating a dialog program in R/3 or SRM seems fairly simple. Then, an iview could be created on the portal for this transaction, though at this point I am not sure how a spreadsheet could be attached and stored within a dialog program.
The creation of the workflow may not be that bad after the original form is designed. The graphical display of the approval trail might be difficult, but we might get away with a report for that. For printing the details of the form, I guess I could develop a smartform and put out a button on the screen to print it out in the display view.
Could you please give me your opinion / best approach for accomplishing this task, keeping in mind the complexities of these new dimension products?
Thanks
Sri

I would say that all four solutions to solving your tasks are technically feasible. Here are some thoughts that I had however:
First ABAP Webdynpro: it is true that ABAP webdynpro is only available with Netweaver04s. 04S is still in ramp-up which means that only a subset of the customer base is allow to implement it. It will not become generally available until later this year (check the service marketplace for current release estimates). That being said, it probably elimintes WDA as a possiblity for your project unless you are will to wait and to upgrade.
However having worked with WDA for a while it is probably the best tool to custom develop what you describe. It has excellent built-in F4 value help. It also has a damn fine ALV grid implementation. The spreadsheet could be just as simple as file upload in binary or your could try your hand at office integration. Finally for the form you could use Adobe Interactive Forms which also has very nice integration into WDA.
Now to Dialog Programming: You could of course use dialog programming. It seems a little bit of a waste to custom build something so large if WDA is in your near future. There are obvious disadvantages (little OO structure, no MVC, etc). You would have ALV grid, office integration and of course F4 help. You could still use Adobe forms if you implement this on the 640 system. However there are integration points with dialog and Adobe Interactive Forms. You could still use printed forms however. If you did the dialog program on the 640 system, you could use the integrated ITS to expose it to the web. The integrated ITS in my experience has quite nice performance although the look and feel remains just like the SAPGui.
The Java Webdynpro route: Well you hit the nail on the head - if you don't have a Java programmer already and you don't have the bandwidth to invest in learning Java, this can be a problem. The Java Webdynpro environment is quite nice. There are some things I like better than ABAP and some things that ABAP is defintely still better at. However when it comes to heavy integration with an ABAP backend - ABAP Webdynpro is still the way to go. Java Webdynpro does have a help feature (OVS), but it isn't "for free" or nearly as nice as the ABAP Webdynpro (perhaps it will get there some day). That is one of the major advantages of WDA - its closeness to the business data brings several framework advantages like F4 and field help. WebDynpro Java in 640 also doesn't have an ALV grid implementation. I am sure that this is something both environments will eventually have, but right now ABAP has the advantage. On the other hand, Webdynpro Java has equal support when it comes to office integration, file upload, and Adobe Forms support. You would have a more difficult time integration SmartForms however.
Finally we come to BSP. Honestly if I were in your position I would probably choose BSP (unless you could wait for the ABAP Webdynpro upgrade). You could build a nice MVC OO application using BSP (stateful or stateless). The BSP product is mature and quite well documented thanks to SDN. You have the BSP Extensions which when used in Design2003 use the Unified Renderer. That means that your output will look nearly identical to the same UI elements in Webdynpro. Also BSP supports portal integration (session management, eventing, and themes).
The downside to BSP is that it isn't a full framework (also one of its advantages). You can insert all your own html and javascript (unlike webdynpro). But this also means that SAP doesn't delivery as many framework services. For instance there is no ALV or Value Help. There is no Office Integration or Adobe Forms integration. There is some farily good Smart Forms integration. Now the upside- many people have already hit these limitations and overcame them. In the weblogs on SDN and in a certain SAP Press book (cough, cough) you will find out of the box solutions for many of these problems. You can find ready to use solutions for Adobe Integration, Office Integration (using Microsoft Office Web Controls), and F4 help. It will mean investing a little more time up front to get this "home grown framework" up and running - but it is perfectly feasible.
There is a learning curve to all these new technologies however. This sounds like an abmious project. I wouldn't want to try and tackle this project in any of these technologies if I was new to them. With Webdynpro or BSP - consider giving yourself time to learn the environment and cut your teeth on some demo apps before jumping into such a huge development.

Adding an ABAP Webdynpro app to the ESS overview screen

I am trying to add an ABAP webdynpro page to the ESS overview screen, I have managed to add URLs without a problem and have found a tutorial to add Java Webdynpro pages however this does seem to apply to ABAP webdynpro.
Thanks
J

Julian,
what problem are you facing in adding.
you can create an iview for the WDA application and in the HomePage Framework you can create resources and services which will point to that iview and add that service to the ESS Overview.
Thanks

Issue with new abap webdynpro INBOX EHP5

Hello Experts,
I'm currently working on the configuration of ESS/MSS services in EHP5. We are using different services like Appraisal OSA, Learning solution,etc. I already configured the Launchpad ESS, it's working fine but now I have an issue with the new Abap webdynpro INBOX. The employee and manager see their workitem notifications correctly in their respective inbox.(I'm calling application: IBO_WDA_INBOX that I integrated in my launchpad).
My problem is that when clicking on a workitem in order that it opens me the appraisal document (in edit or display mode), I got an error saying: "There is no iView available for system "": object "SWF_WIOBN". For more information, contact your administrator."
I did some search on SAP help without any results. I'm wondering how should I register workflow tasks? I saw there is a table called IBO_C_WF_TAS (I added entries e.g:
IBO_WDA_INBOX TS99700031   EXECUTEAPPRAISALDOCUMENT).
I tried also to register all my custom tasks in transaction SWFVISU.
example:
TASK: TS99700013
Visualization Type: ABAP Webdynpro
APPLICATION:    HAP_MAIN_DOCUMENT
DYNPARAM   :    sap-wd-configId=HAP_AC_MAIN_DOC
NAMESPACE :    sap
SYSTEM_ALIAS: SAP_Webdynpro_XSS (I did create a system in sap portal under System Administration with as AS property /webdynpro/dispatcher )
Could you let me know what could be wrong, what I missed? Shall I create an iView, if yes which one? which properties?
I would really appreciate any help.
Thanks!

Hello Siddharth,
Thanks for you reply. Still the same issue. Following are the config I did till now:
In the PCD I created a new business object (SWF_WIOBN), an operation linked to the object (NAVIGATE).
I did create an iView (powl) in the custom folder, I integrated the operation within iView. I created a page that contains the iView.
In the properties of the iView I gave:
Application Name: HAP_MAIN_DOCUMENT.
Launch in New Window: "Display in separate Headerless Portal Window".
System: SAP_ECC_HumanResources
I added the required entries in tables:
IBO_C_WF_TTAS
IBO_C_WF_ACS
IBO_V_WF_TAC
IBO_V_WF_TTAC
etc...
I saw in the code of linked feeder class: CL_IBO_INBOX_FEEDER_WI that it's checking something called "Launch_Editor".. Is it a property that we can set somewhere?
Following are the parameters retrieved by system:
BO_NAME       = SWF_WIOBN
BO_OP_NAME = NAVIGATE
LAUNCHER_PARAMETERS -> empty.??
BO_RESOLVE_MODE = USER_SET_OF_ROLES
LAUNCH_EDITOR empty where must be set?
At the end I still get the error:
There is no iView available for system "": object "SWF_WIOBN". For more information, contact your administrator.
Any advice,
Thanks in advance
