Regarding Screen Painter object modification adjustment in SPAU

Hi all,
We are upgrading SAP 4.6 C to ECC 6.0.I have query related to SPAU transaction.
How do we adjust the modification for Screen in SPAU transaction. The traffic light in front of screen object is Green.
I have gone through the help.sap.com also but the screen adjustment document is not valid for ECC 6.0 , it's valid for ECC5.0.
Can anybody suggest what exactly is to be done in this case if anybody has done it on ECC 6.0 . Has anybody done it earlier in any ECC6.0 Project?
Good solution will be rewarded.
Thanks & Regards

Screen Painter
Screen Painter is an ABAP Editor tools allowed us to create dialog screen. Dialog screen usually created as a screen to catch user input. It can be accessed by tcode SE51.
Screen Painter Architecture
You use the Screen Painter to create and maintain all elements of a screen. These are:
Screen Attributes
Describe a screen object in the R/3 System. Screen attributes include the program the screen belongs to and the screen type.
Screen layout
Screen elements are the parts of a screen with which the user interacts. Screen elements include checkboxes and radio buttons.
Elements
Correspond to screen elements. Fields are defined in the ABAP Dictionary or in your program.
Flow logic
Controls the flow of your program.
Two Screen Painter Modes
The Screen Painter has a layout editor that you use to design your screen layout. It works in two modes:
Graphical mode and
Alphanumeric mode.
Both modes offer the same functions but use different interfaces. In graphical mode, you use a drag and drop interface similar to a drawing tool. In alphanumeric mode, you use your keyboard and menus.
Graphical mode is available only on MS Windows 95, MS Windows NT, and Unix/Motif platforms.
To activate the graphical mode, choose Utilities ® Settings in the Screen Painter, then select the Graphical layout editor option.
Creating a Screen: Basics
Create a screen in an existing program and define its attributes.
Design the screen layout and define the attributes of the elements.
Write the flow logic.
Basic Principles
Uses predefined elements with links to the ABAP Dictionary or program.
Supports forwards navigation.
Supports complex elements: Table Control and Tabstrip Control, and Custom Container.
Cut/ Copy/ Paste (Graph. fullscreen)
Undo/ Redo (Graph. fullscreen)

Adjustment using SPAU for Objects Without Modification Assistant

Hi
How to adjust Objects under Without Modification Assistant.
For example if there is an issue with custom program or BAPI, do I have to manually edit them and adjust to old version.

Hi,
Tcode SPAU is for adjusting programs and Function Modules.

SPAU - for repository Objects Changes
see the doc

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/EN/60/d6ba7bceda11d1953a0000e82de14a/content.htm
Please find below, answers to your questions:
1.What objects will come in SPAU and SPDD?
Ans: All the objects which are modified, after tansporting to the current system,
will be listed in SPAU and SPDD. SPDD contains the list of all modified Data Dictionary objects, like tables, dataelements, domains,view...etc. The rest of all the modified repository objects will be listed in SPAU.
What happens to the modifications done in the older version when we upgrade the version? (with Modification assistant and w/o)
Ans: After the initial upgrade happens, we have to do adjustments from SPAU/SPDD to maintain or reset the changes. That is, from the list of objects in SPAU/SPDD, you have to either carry forward the changes to the new version, by choosing the option ADOPT CHANGES (available on right click) or RESET TO ORIGINAL (available on right click).
Will they come in these transactions?
Ans: yes, they will be listed in these transactions, after the BASIS updgrade activity.
And what if we apply some patches(Notes) to the system? What is the impact of these patches to the SPAU transaction?
Ans: Patches will be supported by the version upgrade. In case of notes, we have to verify whether these notes are supported by the new version (you can go into http://www.service.sap.com/notes to verify this. Also, we have to analyze whther the code in the note is already incorporated in the new version. In this case you can ignore the chanes choosing RESET TO ORIGINAL option
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005vp/helpdata/en/2e/6d66587d9011d396b60000e82de14a/frameset.htm
If you have applied any OSS notes to objects in your system, the hot package may overwrite these objects.
SPDD is used to identify dictionary objects
and
SPAU (repository objects), will identify any objects where the hot package is overwriting changes you have made through OSS notes.
You must check all objects identified in SPAU and decide whether you need to reapply the OSS note or reset the code to the original SAP Code.
Also once the changes have been done you would see a green traffic light.
If you double click on the modified object it will show you a split window where on the left you will have the original version and on right the modified version. So you can choose which to keep and which to reject. You may keep the modified version incases where you know that the notes will only be pakages in the next version.

Regarding the flow logic in screen painter

Hi Experts
I am a BW guy and i am new to ABAP and i need your help to solve my problem.
I have created a table for master data(zemp_data) in R/3 se11..which has fields like zempid,zempname,zmgrid,zdeptid,zdeptname and i have created the respective fields in screen painter too but my problem is i dont know how to link this fields in the screen painter to the fields in table .to be more clear i want the flow logic or module pool code to link this table when i give an entry in the screen painter for the respective fields..i will really appreciate your answers and award the maximum points for the usefull answer ..as i dont know ABAP much if it is a step by step approach ..that would be helpfull
Regards,
RK.

Hi Karthik,
Please consider the following
In the screen...the fields must be from the database table in Se11..(in screen painter -> use.."get from Dictionary" -> enter the table name -> select the fields -> drag and drop on the screen) or must have the same name in the database table..This will be a link but unless you code to fetch values from database or update values to database there will be no action taking place
Usually in the PBO(process befor output) we write the code to display values before we accept data from the user ie,set default values on the screen if required and prepare the screen for user input
in the PAI of the screen painter we can do data processing ie, data validations,checks and saving based on what the user wants
So imagine you have buttons placed on the screen and there are buttons from standard application bar like BACK,SAVE, set using PFstatus..all the user actions will be linked to a function cod..ie whenever user presses a button we can uniquely idntify what was pressed by assigning a function code to each button in the menu painter or PF status and do the action accordingly
Assume that you have created a push button on the screen painter and assigned it a function code "PUSH"
so whenever you press the button in the variable sy-ucomm "PUSH" will be captured..this you can check in PAI for the screen like
Case sy-ucomm.
when 'PUSH'.
do the needful coding
when 'SAVE'
Modify database table
endcase.
you can check the standard demo programs in SE38 -> program name-> display for basic ABAP coding you have asked for
(1)demo_dynpro_input_output .
(2)demo_dynpro_dictionary
(3)demo_dynpro_push_button
Pls let us know if you need more help on the same

'Screen Group' in Screen Painter, & 'Search help Exit'

Hii All,
1. What is 'Screen Group' in Screen Painter
attributes. In which Scenario we will go for it.
2. What is 'Search help Exit'.
Please post your messages and guide me in this topic,
Thanks & Regards,
John.

Hi John,
A Search help exit is something similar to a user exit. Every search help will have an option of attaching a search help exit under the definition tab( when you view the search help from se12).
For example take a look at the search help VMVA - you will notice a search help exit SD_F4_SHLP_EXIT_SUBSHLP_CHOOSE attached to it.
Basically the serah help exit which is nothing but a function module with a predefined interface which gets triggered before a f4 help is displayed. The exit is used to supress or do any other related modification required.
We have implemented many search help exits and the reason is that we have given a custom interface to our business partners to carry out some transaction on our SAP systems. Though we have given them access to our SAP system we also want to ensure that the business partner does not view any additional data in the system. We have controlled this via many ways like using z objects, using authorizations etc. Still once the user has authorizations to any transaction he or she can do a f4 help on any field and see the data which he should not be able to do. So we have implemented search help exits to supress the drop down only for the business partners. We control this based on the unique login id's we have given to them.
So in short it is used to modify the behaviour of F4 help, mostly used to supress the drop down.
It has to be defined in a specific format.
Hope this helps.
Cheers

Issues with modification assistant txn SPAU

Hi,
I have suceesfully adjust the changes to newly upgraded system using modification assistant - txn SPAU. But the adjustment category with modification assistant objects under on a different request in Development client 000. Without modification assistant objects under another request in Development client 500. Does it affect the changes made.
Cheers

Hi,
All the adjustment should be done in the development client not in 000. So there will not be any issue if you have done changes in client 500.

Software Component Vector in Modification Adjustment Transport

Hello all,
We are in the middle of a support pack project for our SRM system, and I've run into a snag as I prepare to move them into QAS. We've had this system for many years, and when DEV was originally installed in 2000 it was as a B2B 2.0a system. It was upgraded to 2.0b before GoLive, and the QAS and PRD systems were installed directly as 2.0b systems. The entire landscape has been upgraded several times in the twelve years since, and today it is on release SRM 5.0.
The problem is that the DEV system still shows an installed software component of NDI_ERM (Extended Relationship Management) in release 20A. Obviously that is actually long gone, but it still shows up in SPAM in the Display Package Level function, and under Attribute SAPCOMPONENT in the properties of all transport requests released from this system. It should have been passively deleted during the first (or subsequent) upgrade long ago, but for whatever reason that didn't happen. This software component never existed in QAS or PRD and does not show up in SPAM in those systems.
This hasn't been an issue in the past, and so I've just ignored it as I always had bigger fish to fry. I've performed upgrades and support packages for these systems without an issue, but we hadn't done any of these tasks for the past three years.
Until now.
I successfully installed support package stack 28 for SRM 5.0 into DEV a few months ago, and I performed the required modification adjustments in SPAU, creating the usual modification adjustment transport. Now, however, when I am trying to import the support packs into QAS, I have a problem when defining the queue, at the step for adding the modification adjustment transport. The transport is marked with a Software Component Vector that includes the defunct ghost NDI_ERM 20A, and NDI_ERM doesn't exist in QAS. SPAM finds the transport, but marks it with a red light ("Transport does not fit"). Drilling into details shows me that everything matches perfectly except for my ghost. On that line I get "The software component is not installed," and SPAM will not allow me to add the transport into the queue.
I should point out that I can import regular transports just fine, and I'm pretty sure I could just import the queue without the modification adjustment transport, and then import it manually when SPAM gets to the step about performing the adjustment. No doubt that would work, and that's almost certainly what I'm going to end up doing. But it bugs me that I can't fix this.
I have some thoughts about fixes that might work, and I'd like input on whether anyone else has dealt with (and solved) this problem before.
I think that I could probably just delete the line in DEV in table CVERS for NDI_ERM and so have it no longer show up in the attributes of future transports. That might solve the problem going forward, though it won't fix the mod adjust transport I've already released. Any thoughts about this?
I was able to get the existing transport to no longer show NDI_ERM in its attributes by deleting the appropriate line in DEV in table E070A. After doing that the transport looked fine in the STMS queue for QAS when drilling into its properties. However, this apparently isn't enough for SPAM. As I had already uploaded the transport in SPAM once, SPAM 'remembers' it and seems to have therefore cached its properties, including the NDI_ERM software component. I haven't been able to figure out how to get SPAM to 'forget' this transport so I could completely upload it anew and hopefully get new attributes that will then match the correct software component vector for the target system. Resetting the queue status doesn't do it.
Any thoughts on where (what tables) SPAM stores information about modification adjustment transports, and how to clear that information out? Any thoughts on the (admittedly drastic) measures I've mentioned above?
Thanks in advance,
--Matt

Hello,
SAP strictly forbids the modification of those tables for specific Add-Ons or even essential software component. As you do not really delete those products from a SAP system. This will only partially remove meta information from a SAP sytem. After the "reinstallation" the data and many other log files are still exists and may have some really inconvenient side effects in a SAP systems (inconsistent installation, incomplete database table conversion, problems regarding maintenance via notes and support packages, modifications cannot be reverted...) .
Additionaly it will be very difficult or even impossible to resolve upgrade or maintenance issues.
If you have any issue regarding an installation of a SAP product, you should contact the corresponding SAP support. They will provide you the right solution.
Currently SAP only provides for a small subset of Add-Ons the deinstallation.
Thanks a lot for your understanding
with kind regards,

How to increase formUID to a form created with screen painter

Hi,
I've got a problem with my form. I created a form with screen painter but i can't succeed to increase my UID form.
For example, when i open my first form, the UID is always at FP_0.
My script:
private string FormUID = null;
public FP_Form(int NumInstance_)
 this.NumInstance = NumInstance_;
this.FormUID = "FP" + NumInstance.ToString();
 load();
 oDBDataSource = oForm.DataSources.DBDataSources.Add(DBDataSourceTable);
 SBO_Application.ItemEvent += new SAPbouiCOM._IApplicationEvents_ItemEventEventHandler(SBO_Application_ItemEvent);
private void SBO_Application_ItemEvent(string _FormUID, ref SAPbouiCOM.ItemEvent pVal, out bool BubbleEvent)
 BubbleEvent = true;
 try
if (_FormUID == this.FormUID) //here "_FormUID" is increased but "this.FormUID" is still = FP_0
 switch (pVal.EventType)// selon le type d'action executée
 case SAPbouiCOM.BoEventTypes.et_FORM_LOAD:
 if (pVal.BeforeAction == true)
 SAPbouiCOM.ComboBox List_reseau = (SAPbouiCOM.ComboBox)oForm.Items.Item("5").Specific;
 List_reseau.ValidValues.Add("1", "test");
 break;
 case ...
 break;
Please help.
Regards,
Zakia.

Hi J.
The answer is yes You just have to give your form a unique id.
1) Give your form in screen painter a name like BTWO_DYNAMIC_UID (just plain text).
2) Make sure your FormType and appformnumber have a unique number (i.e. 2000060001). You can do this in the xml source.
3) By loading your document replace the BTWO_DYNAMIC_UID with an unique id. I have a counter that's a member of my class and increase that number to get a unique id (BTWO_F_1, BTWO_F_2 etc)
I have added a code sample, SBOApplication is my SAP application object and mFormNumber is a member (integer) of my class.
Succes d'r mee, en als 't nie lukt hoor ik het wel... ;)
Code (C#):
// New xml document
XmlDocument oXmlDoc = new XmlDocument();
private Form LoadUniqueForm(string AMyFile)
// Define your path to
sPath = @"Forms" + AMyFile;
// Load the form
oXmlDoc.Load(sPath);
// Replace the string with an unique id
mFormNumber++;
string sXML = oXmlDoc.InnerXml.Replace("BTWO_DYNAMIC_UID", "BTWO_F_" + mFormNumber.ToString());
// load the XML file in SAP
SBOApplication.LoadBatchActions(ref sXML);
// Return the form
return SBOApplication.Forms.Item("BTWO_F_" + mFormNumber.ToString());

Update column in screen painter

i have column in screen painter and i write data when i make enter it's dissapear why???

Did you have corresponding data object defined in program?
I guess this is where the issue comes from. Simply system can't exchange data b/w screen and program.
Try declaring one, it should help then.
Also, what do you mean by column ? If it is a table control you need to use definition of this table, the simplest is usually by
TABLES name_of_table.
If this is a single field taken as reference from DDIC you should simply define it like
DATA name_of_table-name_of_column TYPE name_of_table-name_of_column.

Customer Control in screen painter in Module pool - work like container?

Customer Control option in screen painter in Module pool - work like container?
is it true? How?
Is like any work area or what?
what is the excat use of that option?
regards.

Hello,
In screen painter ,custom control is used to define the control area on the screen.Just click on that and make your own container area.When you create an ALV grid or TEXT EDITOR or any other control,it will get attached to the screen in that area through the custom container.
Name the container area as say 'CONTAINER'.(in capitals.)
When you actually create the custom conatiner programatically,you should give the container area name.ie.
Data : cont type ref to cl_gui_custom_container.
Create object cont
exporting
parent = 'CONTAINER'.
Now,this container that you created-cont is attached to the screen in the area defined by CONTAINER.
