HANA DB User for ABAP/ Privileges on Users- Attach Debugger

Hi SAP HANA/ ABAP experts,
I was trying to create an ABAP on HANA role for on HANA DB.
role TestRoles::developer_role
extends catalog role "ABAP_DEV", "ABAP_ADMIN"
catalog sql object "_SYS_REPO"."GRANT_SCHEMA_PRIVILEGE_ON_ACTIVATED_CONTENT","_SYS_REPO"."GRANT_PRIVILEGE_ON_ACTIVATED_CONTENT": EXECUTE;
catalog schema "SAPSND": SELECT, DEBUG;
system privilege: CATALOG READ;
I also would like to get the next in place: (for External Debugging AMDP on HANA). Does anyone know how to geht this into a role
grant attachdebuggerto DEBUGUSER;
Please refer to next OSS for more details: 1942471 - New Debug Privileges for SQLScript Debugger.
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Bart

As of HANA SP9 the next is not required anymore for AMDP debugging.
Anyway before SP9 it could be solved by logging on with ECC user (mostly SAP<SYSID>, but could also be named differntly), then create a new role with the ATTACH DEBUGGER (Tab Privileges on Users). And then include in repository role, refer to next example ROLE XYZ
extends catalog role "ABAP_DEV", "ABAP_ADMIN", "ROLE XYZ"

Like in java the persons first program is a hello world print statement , which is followed by loops , data structures, oops , etc. and also there are boat loads of practice exercises on the web . I was just wondering if such a thing or place exists on the web for abap. As I am planning to write the taw10 certification , I just wanted to make sure I well equipped for the exam and future interviews .

ABAP for SAP HANA

Is there any difference in normal ABAP and ABAP for SAP HANA ? If yes , then please guide me how to proceed for learning ABAP for SAP HANA ?

Hi Ruchi,
There is a slight difference between ABAP and ABAP for HANA. If you are well aware of all ABAP concepts then you can easily understand the ABAP for HANA concepts.
Some of the differnce which I observed.
1. New syntax for Open SQL is introduced, which includes support for comma separated lists, enhanced string expressions, the definition of host variables in a more standard fashion, and fewer restrictions for joins.
eg: SELECT so.matnr, so.mtart FROM mara AS so INTO TABLE @it_mara UPTO 10 ROWS.
2.It uses the TOP DOWN approach so we can use HANA databases capabilities. you can get more information on this in this blog ABAP for HANA and "Code Push-Down"
3. CDS (Core Data Services) View, AMDP (ABAP managed database procedures) are again new features. Refer this document. http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/b01089ed-dead-3110-f28e-caa12aeb5e27?QuickLink=index&…
Please go through this link It is helpful for you. https://www.google.co.in/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=4&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CCsQFjAD&url=http%3A%2F%2Fsapinsid…
If you want to learn more about ABAP for SAP HANA then please register for the self placed course on OPENSAP. Here is the link (ABAP Development for SAP HANA - Dr. Jasmin Gruschke and Jens Weiler). I have completed this course and it was very helpful for me to understand the concepts of ABAP for HANA, so I will suggest you to enroll for this course.
Hope this will help you.

What is hana ? does the syntax for abap in hana changes ?

Hi All,
I am very much interested to know HANA.
can any one please explain me ???
can we use normal ABAP syntax for HANA?
Regards,
Abdul

Hi Abdul,
first of all I suggest you to look into the detailed info material available here in this space. A good introduction for developers is to look into our reference scenario page: ABAP for SAP HANA Reference Scenario
With our SAP HANA Database existing ABAP Coding will still run like on any other database. But with SAP HANA you also have the possibility to leverage specific features of this database.Information about these features can be found here: New ABAP for HANA features in SAP NW 7.4 SP5
If you want to try it out yourself, here is a new end-to.end guide: Brand-new ABAP 7.4 for SAP HANA End to End Deve... | SCN
Hope this helps, Cheers

Issue regarding cell action in webdynpro for abap alv

hello gurus,
       i have one requirement in webdynpro for abap alv.i have one alv table in that i have one coloun employee name.
for that i have provided F4 help and that is editable field.if i select value from F4 help it is getting value correctly and it is showing properly at the same time it is allowing values entered manually insted of from F4 help.but as per my requiremnet it should not allow any manually entered values.how can i get this functinality. i am not aware indepth od WDA.
could you go through my isssue and could you revert me some solution.
thanks in advance.

Hi,
   I dont think this is possible because when you can change the value using F4 then it would obviously be
   possible to enter manually.
   You can try using a drop down instead because in drop down you cannot enter values manually,
   But this would be good if the values that can be shown in drop down are very low, if the values are more
   then again user will face problems selecting values.
   Else you can try out what srinivas suggested, But dont know whether we can have two cell editors at a time
   inside a single cell of ALV. Please post the answer if you have found any other way to do it.

Floor Plan Manager Technique in Web Dynpro for ABAP

Hi Experts,
Road map technique and Floor Plan Manager Technique, both are same or different.
I need to develop a web dynpro application based on Floor Plan Manager Technique. can I develop this application in WebDynpro for ABAP. If so please help me how to use Floor Plan Manager Technique in Web Dynpro for ABAP.
I don't have knowledge in java, so i cann't develop this application in web dypro for java.
Please help me.
Thanks & Regards
Sridhar

>Road map technique and Floor Plan Manager Technique, both are same or different.
They are different. The FloorPlan Manager is a tool for constructing WD applications with a similar layout and user interface. There are two different floor plans currently - the OIF - Object Instance Floorplan and the GAF - Guided Activity Floorplan. The OIF is for the editing of a single business object. It allows for things like the nesting of header and item details. The GAF, on the other hand, uses a road map to walk you through an activity - much like a Guided Procedure. The FloorPlan Manager is very powerful because it can be configured using component and application configuration - allowing you to plug in different UI Building Blocks (UIBB) as Web Dynpro Components or Views. You can change the roadmap, for instance, adding a new step by just chaning this configuration and not having to touch the code. Consistency between applications is also a major stregth of the FloorPlan Manager.
The Road Map is just a UI element in WD. It can be used to create your own custom applications.
>can I develop this application in WebDynpro for ABAP
Sure. The Floorplan manager has been available for WDA since SPS13. Have a look at the packages APB_FPM_DEMO and ABP_FPM_TEST for examples of how to build components designed for the FloorPlan Manager.
Admittedly there aren't a whole lot of documents available on the subject yet. Some eLearning is being worked on now. There are going to be some workshops at TechEd on the subject:
https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/Community/BringitallTogetherwithFPM%28FloorplanManager%29forWebDynpro+ABAP
The best thing to do right now is to study the demo applications SAP provides.

CTS+ for SAP Hana

I am going to set up CTS+ for SAP Hana non-ABAP development.
However, the same SAP Hana landscape also has ABAP development.
I think on tcode STMS I cannot have two transport routes with exactly the same DEV, QA and PROD,
i.e. we cannot have two transport routes as follows on STMS:
So how to set up separated transport routes for ABAP and non-ABAP development for the same SAP Hana
landscape?
Thanks!

Hi Christina,
For transporting non-abap objects using cts+, you can refer Transporting Non-ABAP Objects in Change and Transport System - Software Logistics - SAP Library
Not sure of any difference on hana platform.

Regarding career in SAP HANA

Hi,
I am in confused state from past 6 months.
I have been working in SAP ABAP from past 5 years and from last 6 months I have been learning SAP HANA modelling and implementation side by side. I have learned below topics in the same.
a.) SLT/LT replication.
b.) Information models.
c.) Procedures and SQL.
But now when I am going for any interview they are expecting below things also from me which I have no idea.
a.) SAP BW prior experience.
b.) Any reporting tool experience. like BO or lumira
c.) Any DB experince like ORACLE or SQL.
Can someone please guide which area should I go for?
I just havn't opted for ABAP on HANA because I cannot see much openings for the same.
Secondly if I start learning ABAP on HANA will my above knowledge I gained in last 6 months will go waste?
Please guide me with your valuable comments.
Thanks and Regards
Sumeet

The demise of ABAP has been predicted as imminent for at least fifteen years. Yet here we still are.
Not all SAP installations will exploit HANA modelling and development. If you want to go that way, learn to use ABAP, the HANA tools and python really well, and gain experience.
If you want to stay as an ABAPper I can't really see anything that will prevent that in the next ten years.

Using the Execute Preloaded Option for ABAP Dataflows in SAP BODS

Hello All,
This is regarding the use of Advanced Option in SAP Application Type (ECC) Datastore settings in SAP BODS 4.2, where there are two options to select from for ABAP Execution Option property: (1)Generate and Execute and (2) Execute Preloaded. Since our ECC client is often locked by BASIS team even on DEV environment, we would like to make use of the second option 'Execute Preloaded' so that we could extract the data from ECC tables without having to ask the BASIS team to unlock the ECC client every time before extraction.
The problem is that we are getting an error upon generating and uploading the ABAP program to ECC client. I have searched the blogs and so far I have only found that there are certain ABAP programs or function modules that come with SAP BODS which need to be installed by BASIS team on ECC side to allow the ABAP dataflows to be generated and uploaded to ECC server. I would appreciate it if anyone could provide a list of which function modules BASIS needs to install on ECC or a blog that provides details around using this option.
So far, from the SAP BODS designer, we are performing below steps but getting an error upon generating and uploading the ABAP dataflow program:
1. Create a test ABAP Dataflow using SAP ECC datastore. Provide the ABAP program options.
2. Right click, select Generate ABAP Program.
3. Once the ABAP Program Generation Dialog box appears, check the box "Upload Generated Program".
4. Upon clicking OK, we are getting the following error:
The ABAP program <ZRTEST01> for ABAP data flow <RT_TEST_R3> (datastore <R3_DS>) was not uploaded: < RFC CallReceive error <Function /BODS/RFC_ABAP_INSTALL_AND_RUN: RFC_ABAP_MESSAGE- Exception condition "NOT_SUPPORTED_BY_GUI" trigger[SAP NWRFC 720][SAP Partner ### ][clientname][servername][accountname][4103]>. >.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Rizwan

All,
The BASIS team reviewed steps provided in the BODS document and attempted to install the Function Modules but now none of the BODS jobs would work. All BODS jobs are being terminted with the Syntax Error error when extracting data from ECC using ABAP dataflows:

Follow-up webdynpro for abap using portal theme nw2004s, sp12

Hello,
I wanted to get a follow up to this thread,
Re: webdynpro for abap using portal theme nw2004s, sp12
We are having a problem with the way reports developed in Web Dynpro for ABAP displayed in the portal (the pop-ups and dropdowns look out of wack). The issue appears when we wrap the reports into portal themes (either standard or custom). As per the thread (the link for which I posted above), the suggestion was to apply WDFORCEEXTERNALSTYLESHEET parameter to the WDP, however our system doesn't have this parameter in the system, but it seems like I can create my own parameter. Can some on give me all of the properties assigned to WDFORCEEXTERNALSTYLESHEET in table WDY_APP_PROP_DEF.
Thank you

Hi Brad, I was trying to apply the note 1033496 but our ABAP servers does not have the WDFORCEEXTERNALSTYLESHEET parameter available in WDY_APP_PROP_DEF table. All other notes are not applicable to our issue.
The portal is NW2004s SP12, the ABAP server is NW2004 SP11
Regards.

N4S: Web Dynpro for ABAP layout editor not working

Have problem in Layout editor in Web Dynpro for ABAP
I have installed NW04S Testdrive on 64bit Linux and able to login.
SE80 is working alright.
Next I create a Web Dynpro Comp. / Intf. and create a component.
I double click on the View name "V_Default" . The Layout editor opens on the right side. Change into Edit Mode.
The "View Elements" panel on the left side of layout editor is missing. This is where we select the various elements like "Textview" etc.
Even the right click on the "ROOTUIELEMENTCONTAINER" to insert elements using context menu does not work.
In summary I am not able to add any element in WD4A Layout screen.
Is there any special plugin required to be installed?
How to solve this problem?

you cannot develope Webdynpro for ABAP using ECC5
This is available with netweaver 2004s (WAS7.0) for which ramp up is going on right now and the general availability is expected sometime around 1st quarter for 2006.

Raja
