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

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.

How to retain the text in "text edit" element of abap webdynpro

Hi all,
I have a requirement where i need to preserve the text in the "case" user has entered.As of now it automatically gets converted into upper case.
eg:user enters "Hello World"
it is getting saved as "HELLO WORLD".I don want this case conversion to happen.
Kindly respond.
PS:Suitable points will be rewarded for helpful answers.

Hi,
ur text edit is binded to some context attribute and attribute has some data type ,
u can save the data as lower case means the upper case conversion will not be done by checking the lower case property of domain.

Doubts in ABAP WebDynpro

Hi Experts,
I am new to ABAP WebDynpro and self-learning going through SDN stuff and other online-help. Please provide me
your kind explanation on below doubts.
1. When do we use GET_ATTRIBUTE and GET_STATIC_ATTRIBUTE
2. How to read the index of a particular selected row in table?
3. How do you change position of a particulr node dynamically?
4. Is it possible to execute a component without a window?
5. Is it possible to run a VIEW without embeding into a window in Webdynpro application?
6. How to read the content entered in PARAMTER and SELECT-OPTION elements in ABAP Webdynpro? Can anybody pass code how to read entries?
I mean GET_ATTRIBUTE or GET_STATIC_ATTRIBUTES is used for reading attribute value.
7. Is it possible to fix the Message window position? Show at the bottom of a screen? Please provide some code for this.
8. Is it possible to change the color of a laber attached to a attribute dynamically? For example somefield is mandatory but you forgot to enter and press on u2018Continueu2019 then program should show that elementu2019s lable with redcolor text. Please provide me example code.
Thanks in advance for the support and useful explanation!
Regards,
Meera.

Hi
Refer the answers inline
1) When do we use GET_ATTRIBUTE and GET_STATIC_ATTRIBUTE
GET_ATTRIBUTE
Method to get the values of a context attribute.
The prerequisite for this method is that the application knows the data type of the attribute.
The value of the given attribute is copied to the export parameter. To do this the export parameter must have a data type to which a value can be written.
GET_STATIC_ATTRIBUTES
This method copies the static attributes to the transferred variable. If the structure is not identical, a move-correspondingis performed, which is not as efficient as a direct move, but is still useful in many cases.
Static attributes are those that either have been declared or that belong to the structure with which the node was declared.
2) How to read the index of a particular selected row in table?
data: lr_element type ref to if_wd_context_element,
          lv_index type i.
lr_element = wdevent->get_context_element( name = 'CONTEXT_ELEMENT' ).
lv_index = lr_element->get_index( ).
3) How do you change position of a particulr node dynamically?
    Explain Bit deeply
4) Is it possible to execute a component without a window?
    No it is not possible, actually the component view can be viewed by embedding it to the window
5) Is it possible to run a VIEW without embeding into a window in Webdynpro application?
    No it is not possible, without window you cant run the view
6) Is it possible to run a VIEW without embeding into a window in Webdynpro application?
DATA LO_ND_MAIN_NODE TYPE REF TO IF_WD_CONTEXT_NODE.
DATA LO_EL_MAIN_NODE TYPE REF TO IF_WD_CONTEXT_ELEMENT.
DATA LS_MAIN_NODE TYPE WD_THIS->ELEMENT_MAIN_NODE.
DATA LV_INP_VALUE LIKE LS_MAIN_NODE-INP_VALUE.
navigate from <CONTEXT> to <MAIN_NODE> via lead selection
LO_ND_MAIN_NODE = WD_CONTEXT->GET_CHILD_NODE( NAME = 'MAIN_NODE' ).
get element via lead selection
LO_EL_MAIN_NODE = LO_ND_MAIN_NODE->GET_ELEMENT( ).
get single attribute
LO_EL_MAIN_NODE->GET_ATTRIBUTE(
    EXPORTING
      NAME = `INPUT_VALUE`
    IMPORTING
      VALUE = LV_INP_VALUE ).
7) Is it possible to fix the Message window position? Show at the bottom of a screen?
    Yes it is possible to show the messages by using the message area UI element in the needed position
8. Is it possible to change the color of a laber attached to a attribute dynamically? For example somefield is mandatory but you      forgot to enter and press on u2018Continueu2019 then program should show that elementu2019s lable with redcolor text.
    Im working onit and let you know after i complete.

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 .

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 ) :

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.

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.

ABAP Webdynpro reports in portal do not use portal theme for some elements

Hi,
I have an ABAP webdynpro screen which uses, amongst other things, a date navigator and drop down lists. All aspects of the portal theme seem to be picked up by the webdynpro except the date navigator and drop down lists. They don't even use the SAP standard ones. They display as plain text using TimesNewRoman font and not the ones specified in the theme. They also do not use any of the colours in the theme. All tables and fields etc are all themed ok. Any ideas how I can fix this?

Could there be a lockal cache issue?
Clear you browser cache via Tools > Internet Options > Delete History
Try again after clearing the cache, if that doesn't help then try downloading the Internet Explorer Developer Toolbar:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloadS/details.aspx?familyid=E59C3964-672D-4511-BB3E-2D5E1DB91038&displaylang=en
...use this tool to get details about the css and classes aplied to the objects and use it to open a OSS message if it is a SAP WebDynpro application of talk to your developers if it is a Custom WebDynpro app.
Good Luck,

How to call a RFC of a remote system from an ABAP webdynpro component

Dear Experts,
I am a newbie in ABAP Webdynpro.
I am working on a requirement where I have a webdynpro component on ECC system.I need to call a RFC located on CRM system from my webdynpro component on the ECC system.
How do I do that ?? Please help.
Regards,
Mamai.

Calling RFC from some other system is same as local except the difference is that you have to give destination name while calling.
And the regarding the method of calling it depends on your FM.
if it is big RFC with complex structure, you can create the service call for it with destination given as RFC desitination.
if it is simple straight forward RFC you can directly call it.
for creating RFC service call call use this method
1. Starting the Wizard
To start the wizard, position the cursor on the Web Dynpro component to be edited in the object list at the left margin of the
workbench window. Open its context menu and choose the entry Create->Service Call. The wizard is started and leads you
through the creation process.
Press Continue.
2. Choice of Controller
On the second dialog window of the wizard, you can choose whether the service call is to be embedded in an existing
controller or whether a new controller is to be created for this purpose. Service calls can only always be embedded in
global controllers u2013 that is, in the component controller or in additionally created custom controllers. It is not possible, to
embed service calls in view controllers.
a. Select radio button Use Existent Controller
b. Do not change the default entry for component: <CC name>
c. Enter for controller COMPONENTCONTROLLER
d. Press Continue.
3. Service Type and Service Selection
a. You now select, which service type should be used for this service call. Select radio button Function Module. Fill the
destination here. Press Continue.
b. Select the service: for Function Module enter <RFC name>. Press Continue.
4. The Required Methods and Context Elements
On the two subsequent dialog windows, default values are listed for giving names to the context nodes and attributes
required by the service call as well as to the required methods. The proposed names are based on the names of the
embedded service, but you can change them as required. However, heed the respective notes in the corresponding dialog
box.
a. Adapt Context: Select from Nodes/Attributes . Press Continue.
b. Specify Method Name: leave all entries as provided: Component: Controller: COMPONENTCONTROLLER Method: EXCUTE_ Press Continue.
5. Completing the Choice
When you have confirmed the last dialog box, the generation is triggered. Afterwards you now have the required methods
and contexts at your disposal for using them within your Web Dynpro component.
or if you want to call directly the use the call statement with destination

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.

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.

Error Handling in tables using ABap Webdynpro

Hi All,
I am new to this ABAP webdynpro programming. I have a small question. I am using a table control in one of my iview. I need to check some validations on some columns of this table. Let's say I have a table with 3 columns A,B and C.
Case 1 : Whenever any user enters values in C which is greater than A i want to raise an error message saying "The Value is greater than A". The user shouldn't be allowed to enter anyother inputs before correcting the same.
OR
Case 2: If the user enters 10 rows in the table and the 5th row contains the error. How can i highlight that row or field which contains the error.
Your inputs will be valuable to me.
Regards,
Pravesh.

Hi,
Get the elements of the node for which you table is bound.
Loop through the context element set.
get the record for that context attribute and check the column A and column B value and throw
the error using the report_error_element_message when there is error.
Check this sample code -
DATA:
    lt_attr_list type STRING_TABLE,
    ls_attr_list type string.
ls_attr_list = column name.
append ls_attr_list to lt_attr_list.
clear ls_attr_list.
ls_attr_list = column name.
append ls_attr_list to lt_attr_list.
clear ls_attr_list.
DATA: lit_elementset type WDR_CONTEXT_ELEMENT_SET,
lis_element type ref to IF_WD_CONTEXT_ELEMENT,
ls_data type <<strucure type>>.
    CALL METHOD <<nodename>>->GET_ELEMENTS
      RECEIVING
        SET = lit_elementset.
    LOOP AT lit_elementsetINTO lis_element.
lis_element->get_static_atributes->
importing = ls_data.
if ls_data-columnC GT ls-data-columnA.
lr_msg_manager->report_element_error_message->
message_text = 'Column C canot be gretaer than column A'
element = lis_element
attributes = lt_attr_list <<Populate the attributes table for which errors are to be shown>>
endif.
clear: ls_data, lis_element.
ENDLOOP.
