Online Help for WD ABAP application

We develop a WD ABAP application ("as a product") and want to provide an online help. In our last version we used an HTML online help (about 250 static HTML pages)
1) I see the option to create such an help in the Knowledge Warehouse. Since we develop a product this help there would not be of any use for customers who do not have the KW. Or am I wrong here?
2) Since the number of HTML pages (250+ html files, lots of images and directories) is significant I doubt I want to import them all to a WD application's MIME repository.
Q: Is there any better option than 2), or is 1) an option at all.

Hi Frank,
You could also store the online documentation on any kind of web server and link to it from the web dynpro application. Btw.: The WebAS supports WebDAV, which allows you to upload large quantities of files in a convinient way. Moreover, since the type of mime objects is online documentation, you might consider adding it to the public part of the mime repository. Storing it inside of a Web Dynpro component would require users to be authenticated in order to read it.
Best regards,
Thomas

Providing online Help for Flex-based applications

I have been asked to provide online Help for a Flex application. As I have never done this before, I have a few questions:
- What is the format for the Help topics?
- Are there control-type files (e.g., TOC, index, project file) that need to be created? If so, what is the format for these?
- Is the Help compiled? If so, which compiler is used?
- How is context-sensitive Help created?
I'd also like to know if there are any resources I could look at that covers these Help issues. Thanks.

Hi,
You can acheive the same by the addition of [USER-COMMAND fcode].
RADIOBUTTON GROUP group [USER-COMMAND fcode] - The addition USER-COMMAND can be used to assign a function code fcode to the first parameter in a radio button group. The function code fcode must be specified directly, and have a maximum length of 20 characters. When the user selects any radio button of the radio button group on the selection screen, the runtime environment triggers the event AT SELECTION-SCREEN and transfers the function code fcode to the component ucomm of the interface work area sscrfields.
So you code should be altered as
PARAMETERS: rb_appl RADIOBUTTON GROUP rad
                     USER-COMMAND radclick    "Addition which you have to make.
                     DEFAULT 'X',
            rb_pres RADIOBUTTON GROUP rad ,
            p_file   TYPE ibipparms-path.
AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR p_file.
IF rb_appl = 'X'.
    PERFORM f_applictn_server_filenm.
ELSEIF rb_pres = 'X'.
    PERFORM f_presentation_filenm.
ENDIF.

Developing Online Help for Mobile Applications

My company is just starting to develop applications for mobile devices (cell phone, iPad
, etc.). Can anyone tell me whether RoboHelp is the best Adobe application for devel
oping online help for mobile devices or if some other application should be used? Thanks.

Thanks for the insight. I haven't read about RH8 so wasn't aware of that difference. No, I haven't tried the demo yet. I guess that would be the logical next step. I've been trying to get to the STC web site to download the PDF file of the presentation, but can't get the web site to open. Oh well. Thanks again.

Online Help for Oracle HRMS Self Service System

I am looking into developing context-sensitive online help for an Oracle HRMS Self Service application. There is currently no online help for the application; all help is provided in printed and online docs, so users are having trouble navigating to the info they need. Help is needed! My initial questions are:
Would I need to create OHJ or OHW?
Could I use RoboHelp to develop the content?
Is there a reference document you can point me to?
Thanks
Belinda

Hi Belinda,
You would create Oracle Help, and then deploy it using OHJ or OHW.
The format of the help is the same. There is nothing specific that needs to be done for one or the other. If your system i s a Web application, you would use OHW and otherwise, you would use OHJ.
You can read more about Oracle Help on OTN at http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/java/help/index.html.
(Read the FAQ for more information about the choice between OHJ and OHW.)
Personally, I would not recommend RoboHelp to create Oracle Help. RoboHelp has a lot of nice features, but the Oracle Help output feature is fairly buggy, especially if you are creating a large helpset, or a helpset that has subhelpsets.
At Oracle, a lot of help development is done using DreamWeaver and an in-house build tool, called the Oracle Help Build Tool. This is available for free. Send me a mail ([email protected]) if you want a copy.

Creating iView for WD ABAP application - Handling URL parameters

Hi,
I have a Web Dynpro ABAP application with me for which I have to create a iView in portal.
This application has certain parameters to be passed via application URL.
How do I take care of these URL parameters when iView is called?
Thanks and regards,
Amey

Hi Sandip,
I have created an iView for WD ABAP application.
But for some unknown reason, it just displayed a tiny cross symbol while previewing it.
Here are the properties of iView I created :-
Authentication Scheme = basicauthentication
Application Name = ZPLdaApp
Application Parameters = dp=2&tn=ZGLTCO_ATTCH&so=ZGLTCO_ATT&dt=ZLDA_TCO&in=WD_ABAP_TEST
System = mysap400
Web Dynpro Client = Windows client
Any idea what is going wrong here?
Thanks and regards,
Amey

Can somebody decipher the online help for the one button dialog?

So I was looking at the online help for the one button dialog and there is an extra paragraph compared to the LabVIEW help.
Clicking on the link goes to a help specific to the Embedded module for the ARM microcontroller. Does this really have much to do with the one button dialog? Does it belong here?
Just wondering. I am not familiar with that module....
LabVIEW Champion . Do more with less code and in less time .

The same is true of the online help back to LV2009 inclusive, which (I believe) would be the first to contain the linked dialog too.

Loop round the directory list, split each line up into a line table

Then build the dirlist.
REFRESH t_dirlist.

    REFRESH t_dirline.
    SPLIT lt_execprot-message AT space INTO TABLE t_dirline.
    DESCRIBE TABLE t_dirline LINES w_nolines.
    READ TABLE t_dirline INDEX w_nolines.
    MOVE t_dirline-data TO t_dirlist-filename.
    APPEND t_dirlist.
ENDLOOP.
Here you will get all the files in the directory mentioned in Application server.
For displaying them as a Search help use the FM '/BMC/ZPOPUP_GET_VALUE'
Pass the Internal table to this FM.

I developed a WD ABAP Application and then created an iview in portal for this WD ABAP application and then assigned this iview to a role.

Setting dynamic language for WD ABAP application iView

Hi,
I have created an iView for a WD ABAP application which runs with two languages, EN and FR.
When I run this application with app parameter sap-language=EN or FR, it works fine in corresponding language.
How do I set this in its portal iView so that it picks up browser language?
Thanks and regards,
Amey

HI Amey,
The language is determined in the order below.
       1.      sap-language URL parameter
       2.      Default language in the setting for the system logon
       3.      Web browser languages (Accept-Language)
       4.      Default language of the SAP system
Refer to
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/7b/fb57412df8091de10000000a155106/frameset.htm
Just clear the logon language parameter for the user in SU01 and it should pick the browser language.
If you change the browser language, you will have to logout and login again to the portal for the changes to take effect.
Thanks
Prashant

Iview for Webdynpro ABAP application with TimedTrigger

Hello,
I created an IView for a WebDynpro ABAP application. This application uses a UI element TimedTrigger. Without portal integration this TimedTrigger works fine. Inside an IView this TimedTrigger element does not work anymore. Did anyone have a similar problem? Does anyone have a solution for this?

Personalization data for WebDynpro ABAP application ?

Dear Experts,
We can personalize WebDYnpro ABAP application via right click , show hide buttons , columns etc.
Where is this personalization data stored or how can it be retrieved assuming my application is executing outside the portal ?
Greetings
Prashant

Hi Prashant,
it is stored in the ABAP system - not the portal, so no issues about running outside the portal.
This is different to WDJ pagebuilder configuration/personalisation - which is stored in the portal!
you can see some of the personalisation framework that is used for things like storing POWL user preferences etc in the backend via the IMG path
Cross-Application Components --> General Application Functions --> Generic SAP Business Suite Functions --> Personalization (sic) .
Hope this helps you,
Chris

Mapping SAP R3 role to EP role for WD ABAP Application

Hi,
I have a WD ABAP application which uses POWL component.
I have assigned this application to a role in SAP R3 system.
Now, I have created an iview in portal for this WD ABAP application.
I want to map this SAP R/3 role to Portal Role so that only people having that role can see the application on portal.
How do I handle this?
Thanks and regards,
Amey

Hi,
Scenario 1:
You need to maintain 2 roles one from Portal and one from R/3
On the portal end:
Assign the role which have the WDA application to all the users who should have access.
On the R/3 end:
Assign the R/3 role which you have created to access the WDA application to all the users for whom you have added the Portal Role.
Scenario 2:
If using CUA (Central User Administration) as UME for Portal and also R/3 then you can maintain the roles from one place that is from CUA.
You create a role in CUA and this role is shown as group in Portal now add the Portal role to the group or the CUA role.
And create another role which gives access to the WDA application. Now add these 2 roles to all the users who are supposed to have access to the application.
Hope this helps.
Cheers-
Pramod

Thanks,
Pasumpon Karuppaiah

Hi,
It is the standard transaction WDYID, when you try to change, you will be prompted for access key as it is a modification. the GUI status is set using PF-STATUS 'HTMLVIEW' . In PBO, you can comment the PF status using modification or in PAI, you can write the handling for back button using OK Code.
And, to print WDA application, use the following code in on action Print button:
   data: l_api_componentcontroller type ref to if_wd_component,
    l_appl type ref to if_wd_application. l_api_componentcontroller = wd_comp_controller->wd_get_api( ).     l_appl = l_api_componentcontroller->get_application( ).
    l_appl->print_page( ).

Need Help for AIR Email Application

Hi,
I’m a beginner to Adobe AIR.
My new assignment is to create an AIR Application which works like MS Outlook with minimal features like compose mail, inbox, send items and contact details.
With the help of some server side script (like PHP, CF) I can make it work. But My TL asked me to communicate directly with mail server through AIR.
I googled for a week for some tutorial to help me, But I can’t find anything useful.
Is there any way to communicate directly with web server and list the Inbox, Outbox, and Contact details…? If so, please help me to find the solution…
Thanks In Advance

Hi,
You can use LaunchExecutableEx to determine the window state:
LaunchExecutableEx ("command.com /C calc.exe", LE_HIDE, NULL);
Beware that this function does not wait for the started executable to exit.
It executes the command in the string and continues.
If your application has to get the results of the call, then you need to get the application handle (3rd parameter, put a variable instead of the NULL above) and call ExecutableHasTerminated in a loop to find out if the execution finished.
Read carefully the help for the LaunchExecutableEx function and Handle parameter.
To get the result of the command line call, you can add a "> output.txt" parameter to the end of your command line call.
This way all the text output of the command is written to the output.txt file, from which you can read the result.
Check the command-line email sender program's help if there is a special paramter to make it more "verbose".
Hope this helps,
