SAP Graphics and IGS

Hello all,
Lately I've found out about SAP Graphics and thought that it might be useful in future for me, so I've decided to learn it. I've found "User's Guide" and "Programming interface" PDFs, but I've also found information that this is obsolete technology and instead IGS should be used. Is it like this that it makes no sense to learn SAP Graphics, that IGS covers all of its functionality with some additional benefits? I would appreciate all comments.
Best regards
Marcin Cholewczuk

Hi Maria,
a bit more details from your system would help me finding out why the IGS doesn't start. But in my opinion this has nothing to do with the database issue. You may find some information in the stderr or sapstart log files in DIR_HOME.

Multiple SAP solutions and IGS watchdog

Hello All,
I have install two R/3 4.7 servers on Windows 2003 with Oracle 9i as backend, on one machine using MCOD. It has SAP GUI also. The problem is that now if I start the servers using MMC then IGS watchdog service doesn't start in any of the Solutions. I didn't installed any separate IGS. I implemented SAP Note 824281, but even after that condition is same.
If any one knows whats the error and solution. Do I need to do some extra configuration to have two IGS watchdog on one machine.
I have one more question where is the variable "DIR_INSTANCE" declared that is mentioned in the SAP start profile and how to find the value of that variable.

Hide Legend in SAP Graphics

Hi all,
I am using SAP Graphics, and now I have a line chart of which I want to hide de legend.
I know which objects I have to use and which attributes I have to change, but my problem is, which value makes the legend desappear? (The none options when I functionally double click at the legend).
For more details...
I am using this piece of code to set the legend to the right side of the graphic, but instead of setting the legend to the right side I want to choose the none options for the lengend. Does somebody knows the value? I already tried the values from 1 to 9, for which I get locical options, but from 9 upwards no value sets the legend to the default value.
call method bundle_display->if_customizing~set
 exporting attr_id = cl_cu_display_context=>co_pt_alignment
 value = '4'.
call method bundle_drawing->if_customizing~set
 exporting attr_id = cl_cu_drawing_area=>co_legend_context
 value = bundle_display.
bundle_drawing is an instance of class cl_cu_drawing_area;
bundle_display is an instance of class cl_cu_display_context;

Hi Indrajit and hi Abhy,
The pdf you refer I already have, and it was very helpful, but the problem is that I can´t get from nowhere the possible values for an atribute. The only values in this pdf are for colour.
I already noticed, that whenever functionally there is a square of options, the rule for the abap values is counting from 1 upwards.... but for the legend alignmente options it only works until 9...there are two options, which I supposed to be 11 and 12, one of the options is the "none" (No Legend) option. I am not able the get this options on coding.
Abhy,
the link you send is nice, but I didn´t found what I need...but I going on searching.
Does somebody else can help me?
Thanks,
MPM

SAP XI and EDI

Hi all,
I have some questions about SAP XI and EDI.
We are planning to get the SAP XI to handle EDI message e.g. ANSI 850, but it looks like XI does not handle EDI out of the box. From what I read we still need to buy an EDI adaptor to handle the EDI-to-IDOC and IDOC-to-EDI processing. e.g. Seeburger adaptor.
Actually I don't quite get this, isn't it XI contains a set of tools that allows us to do the mapping? Can we just use those tools to create EDI map without buying the seeburger adaptor? If we cannot create EDI map ourselves, then isn't it SAP XI is just an expensive message router??
Any inputs are greatly appreciated. Thanks.

XI has its own built-in message mapping tool (drag and drop GUI), upon which you can do "any-to-any" mapping. You can also do your mapping in ABAP, Java, or XSLT environments if you feel that the message (graphical) mapping tool doesnt enable you to do everything you want.
So yes ... you can use XI's mapping functionality to map from iDoc to EDI format. However, this can be quite a complex exercise: you will need to setup the structure of the (target) EDI message/data type, and then carry out the mapping yourself - depending on the type of interface, this could be quite a complex exercise (typically EDI structures contain a very large number of fields).
Once the iDoc has been mapped into the EDI format ... you will need to transmit (send) the EDI message to your (business) partner system, who is typically outside of your firewall (B2B). This means you need to communicate with them using a secure communication protocol (typically OFTP via VAN in EDI scenarios). And this is where the SeeBurger EDI adapters add value. They enable you to connect to VANs (Value Added Networks) using OFTP (or x.400), and also provide mappings for some EDI scenarios (which you can use).
iWay also provide adapters for this purpose.

SAP tools and Third party tools

Hi SAP frinends,
I want to know some information of the tools. Now we are using CCMS tool to check the SAP Applications. Is there any tool either SAP or Third party tool to check SAP applications and system perfomance Grafically. We are looking for grafical mode tool. Which tool is better to check running application on SAP systems. Please give your advices for me......
Best regards,
Prasanna.

Hai,
CCMS is the best way to monitor your SAP applications, SAP has introduced lots of things to encourage use of CCMS for system monitoring. You can Install agents to monitor your systems. If you have a CEN system (SOLMAN) then you can Install agents in all the satellite systems and monitor all the satellite systems from CEN. You can also monitor the availablity of the satellite systems from CEN using CCMSPING agent.
For checking the Performance of the system if you have only ABAP stack then you can use ST03N where you can get the graphical representations as well. For JAVA stack you can use Eclipse which is a tool from SAP.
Check the below link.....

Demo Reports for SAP Graphics - T Code "GRAL"

Hi Friends
Greetings for the day...
We are in the process of developing SSO for our customer. Wherein, SAP R/3 being used as backend and EP as front end.
having limitations to develop Pictorial views, trend analysis etc for report generation, we thought of using - Demo Reports for SAP Graphics - T code GRAL.
infact, we have started exploring the possibility to use them, however, I need an expert comment from seniors who has already implemented those graphics.
In this regard, what I request
1. How far useful to utilise them?
2. Avaialability of BAPIs to develop incase not following the demo graphics?
If any clarifications are required, I welcome to answer ur queries.
Thanks in Advance
Sudhakar
Hi Friends,
does any one used the demo graphics? hands on experience?
Message was edited by: Sudhakar Pappu Rao

Hi Kai gutenkunst
Thanks a lot for your information. would be highly obliged if you can clarify the following
1. Will this XML charts accepts inputs from RFC?
2. Can we call this charts in Webdynpro?
Please note that these charts are meant for tracking progress ie Planned Vs Actual data of Projects. all the input values are dynamic.
Thanks in advance

Is this possible: SNC connection from SAP GUI to SAP Router, and ...

Hi,
I have (stupid perhaps) question.
Is this scenario possible:
SNC connection from SAP GUI to SAP Router, and non-SNC connection from SAP Router to SAP System.
I know how to set up scenario like this:
SAP System --- (non-SNC conn) --- saprouter1 --- (SNC conn) --- saprouter2 --- (non-SNC conn) --- SAP GUI.
Best regards,
Marek Majchrowski

Wolfgang,
To be sure myself and Marek understand, can you confirm the different scenarios supported:
Scenario 1:
SAP GUI --- (non SNC conn) --- saprouter1 --- (SNC conn) --- saprouter2 --- (non-SNC conn) --- SAP System
With this scenario, it would be possible for a user to logon using SAP GUI onto the SAP System, but without SAP GUI SNC.
Scenario 2:
SAP GUI --- (SNC conn) --- saprouter1 --- (non SNC conn) --- saprouter2 --- (SNC conn) --- SAP System
With this scenario it would be possible to logon to the SAP System using SAP GUI, and using SNC authentication.
Also, with this scenario the SAP GUI software and SAP System software would consider this to be similar to:
SAP GUI -- (SNC conn) -- SAP System
Scenario 3:
This is the scenario mentioned by Marek in his initial question:
SAP GUI -- (SNC conn) -- saprouter1 -- (non SNC conn) -- SAP System
With this scenario it will not be possible to logon to SAP System using SNC, and only possible if the SAP GUI is configured to not use SNC. In other words the SNC connection between SAP GUI and saprouter1 is available, but cannot be used.
Thanks,
Tim

Re: what is difference between sap locking and database locking

hi,
    what is difference between sap locking and database locking. Iam locked the table mara by using lock objects.
But iam unable to unlock the mara table. I give u the coding. Please check it.

ENDIF.

Hi Paluri
Here is the difference between SAP locks and Database locks, i will try to find the solution to your code.
Regards
Ashish
Database Locks: The database system automatically sets database locks when it receives change statements (INSERT, UPDATE, MODIFY, DELETE) from a program. Database locks are physical locks on the database entries affected by these statements. You can only set a lock for an existing database entry, since the lock mechanism uses a lock flag in the entry. These flags are automatically deleted in each database commit. This means that database locks can never be set for longer than a single database LUW; in other words, a single dialog step in an R/3 application program.
Physical locks in the database system are therefore insufficient for the requirements of an R/3 transaction. Locks in the R/3 System must remain set for the duration of a whole SAP LUW, that is, over several dialog steps. They must also be capable of being handled by different work processes and even different application servers. Consequently, each lock must apply on all servers in that R/3 System.
SAP Locks:
To complement the SAP LUW concept, in which bundled database changes are made in a single database LUW, the R/3 System also contains a lock mechanism, fully independent of database locks, that allows you to set a lock that spans several dialog steps. These locks are known as SAP locks.
The SAP lock concept is based on lock objects. Lock objects allow you to set an SAP lock for an entire application object. An application object consists of one or more entries in a database table, or entries from more than one database table that are linked using foreign key relationships.
Before you can set an SAP lock in an ABAP program, you must first create a lock object in the ABAP Dictionary.

What is difference between SAP R3 And SAP IS Mills Product

HI Friends
What is difference between SAP R3 And SAP IS Mills Product
What are the futures are availables in IS MIlls
Regards

Hi,
SAP R/3 is the central enterprise version. It is not specifically designed for any inducstry sectors and it can cater many of the industry types.
Is is developed for specific industries an for SMB's (small and medium business). It will have components specifically for the industry.
The SAP Mill Products component adds sector-specific functionality to an ERP system to satisfy the complex requirements of mill industries (e.g. metal, wood, paper, textiles, construction materials, and cable sectors).
These industry segments differ from others primarily in that the materials used have a large number of characteristics and variants. The materials in the segments listed above are also predominantly area-based (e.g. paper, textiles, plastic film) or length-based (e.g. cables, piping). Account must be taken of these material characteristics throughout the entire supply chain.
To cater for the particularities of these industry segments, SAP Mill Products features processes and functions that cover the entire supply-chain cycle from product design and configuration, through planning, order processing, capacity planning and production, to final delivery. Additional functions are available in costing and inventory management. SAP Mill Products are also integrated into Quality Management, Financial Accounting, and Controlling.

What is the diff b/w Sap Scripts and Smart Forms

Hi,
Whats the diff b/w SAP Scripts and Smart Forms..
I need the internal explanation for both Smart Forms and SAP Scripts mean when we execute what happens whether Print Program r Forms starts execution 1st and SIMILARLY FOR SMARTFORMS WHETHER FM'S R FORMS.
Thanks & Regards,
Gopi.

Hi
Difference with SMARTFORMS vs. SapScript(SE71)
The Following are the differences :-
a) Multiple page formats are possible in smartforms which is not the case in SAPScripts
b) It is possible to have a smartform without a main window .
c) Labels cannot be created in smartforms.
d) Routines can be written in smartforms tool.
e) Smartforms generates a function module when activated.
f) Unlike sapscripts (RSTXSCRP), you cannot upload/download Smartform to your local harddisk.
It was said that it was provided in CRM 3.0 version, but not available in R/3. You can download smartforms into Local PC in a XML format. In the same way you can upload this XML format into Smartform. From the smartform editor itself you can call download option, if you are working in CRM 3.0 environment.
In R3 also, you can download into XML format. However, it's not sure about uploading. Refer to the program 'SF_XSF_DEMO'.
In 4.7 Enterprise, other have seen this utlity which is completey missing in 4.6c. There is functionality to downlaod a complete form or only a particular node. (Utilities -> Download form). It will create a XML file and save it in the hard disk.
For others, if you want to download/upload the Smartforms source, you will need the help from the Basis people. What you can do is to create a Transport and then FTP down to your local harddisk. When you need the Smartform source in another system, you have FTP up the Smartforms file back to the SAP server. Finally, the Basis team, will tp it into your system.
g) The protect and endprotect command in sapscript doesn't work with smartforms. For example on a invoice: First data of position no 80. is printed on page one, other data of position no 80 is printed on page 2. And there's nothing you can do about it. Actually, there is something you can do about it. By using a folder node and checking the 'protect' checkbox, everything in that folder will be page protected.

What is the diffrence between sap events and application events

Hi all,
what is the diffrence between sap events and application events.Can any one tell me with examples.
regards,

Hi,
Look at this,
System Events (Default)
The event is passed to the application server, but does not trigger the PAI. If you have registered an event handler method in your ABAP program for the event (using the SET HANDLER statement), this method is executed on the application server.
Within the event handler method, you can use the static method SET_NEW_OK_CODE of the global class CL_GUI_CFW to set a function code and trigger the PAI event yourself. After the PAI has been processed, the PBO event of the next screen is triggered.
The advantage of using this technique is that the event handler method is executed automatically and there are no conflicts with the automatic input checks associated with the screen. The disadvantage is that the contents of the screen fields are not transported to the program, which means that obsolete values could appear on the next screen. You can work around this by using the SET_NEW_OK_CODE method to trigger field transport and the PAI event after the event handler has finished.
Application Events
The event is passed to the application server, and triggers the PAI. The function code that you pass contains an internal identifier. You do not have to evaluate this in your ABAP program. Instead, if you want to handle the event, you must include a method call in a PAI dialog module for the static method DISPATCH of the global class CL_GUI_CFW. If you have defined an event handler method in your ABAP program for the event (using the SET HANDLER statement), the DISPATCH method calls it. After the event handler has been processed, control returns to the PAI event after the DISPATCH statement and PAI processing continues.
The advantage of this is that you can specify yourself the point at which the event is handled, and the contents of the screen fields are transported to the application server beforehand. The disadvantage is that this kind of event handling can lead to conflicts with the automatic input checks on the screen, causing events to be lost.
Hope u understood.
Thanks&Regards,

What is the diffrence between SAP View and CAD View ?

What is the diffrence between SAP View and CAD View ?
What is the main purpose of SAP View
and
What is the main purpose of CAD View
On SAP help i found
SAP View is used for :The SAP view displays the SAP structure (document-based structure) for the active CAD object, or another document info record (header document), with a single-level or multilevel document structure in a tree structure. You can variably configure the fields using the layout editor.
CAD View is used for :The CAD view displays the document-based structure of the currently active CAD object, such as the structure of an assembly. The CAD system determines the complete (multilevel) structure and copies it either completely or in stages to the SAP system, in accordance with the default explosion level.
BUT I did not understand it well
Can someone explain this with an example
THanks
Raj

Hello Raj,
SAP View can be further described as the view that is based on what is existing already in the SAP system. This view is generally used by SAP purchasing, MM people etc
CAD view is nothing but the replication of the model tree view in the SAP system. This is used by the design engineer and this view replicates only the parts that are actively displayed on the CAD tool window.
hope this helps. Let me know if you have further questions else please close the message.

SSO between SAP EP and JAVA app on WebSphere Application Server 5.1

Hi. I have 2 questions.
I am implementing SAP EP6 and need to display content from a WebSphere JAVA application inside the portal. The application is currently running on WAS 5.1.
1. Does anyone have any sample code or documentation regarding how to pass the SAP logon ticket to WebSphere JAVA application to accomplish SSO when inside the portal?
2. Does anyone have any sample code or documentation regarding how to pass the SAP logon ticket to WebSphere JAVA application to accomplish SSO when outside the SAP EP, but still within the same IE browser window where the SAP logon ticket exists?
Thanks for any feedback you could provide.

Hello Kevin,
please look here: https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/nw/ibm/how to set up sso between sap enterprise portal and ibm websphere portal using tai.pdf
Regarding your second questions: as long as you did not log off from SAP EP your browser hosts the SAP Logon Ticket cookie (within its timeframe of validity which is typically a couple of hours). So if you access a non SAP application that accepts SAP logon ticket with your browser, you're authenticated.
Please note that the cookie based authentication only works withing the same DNS domain. So if your SAP EP is configured to issues the SAP logon ticket to "company.com" then your browser sends it only to servers in that domain.
Regards
Michael
