SAP tool to estimate time for web dynpro development project

Hi,
Is there any standard SAP tool available to estimate time for web Dynpro development project?
Thanks and Regards,
Deepti

Hi Deepti
An implementation of Webdynpro based UI could be estimated by a 'standard' technique like any other U:
1. Try to count the number of views/screens/popups in your application. The estimation time will be proportional to the quantity.
2. Try to count the number of external interfaces would be used in the application. For example, quantity of necessary BAPI invocations (RFC), quantity of Web-service invocations or EJB calls. Also quantity of native JDBC queries if any.
Test = Nviews x Hview + Nint x Hint, where Hview & Hint time in hours for average implementing of one UI view and time for adding of average service invocation.

Time estimation for Web Dynpro development

Hello all,
i would like to know if someone could tell me how much time do we have to estimate when using web dynpros to recreate R/3 transactions (with the convert tool) ?
In fact we must make an offer for a customer and would like to use Web Dynpros (since this customer wants that all developments are J2EE based and not related to R/3).
Since we don't yet have any experience with this, it's not easy to make an estimation of the effort that it would take.
So if you know what is the average time to make an R/3 transaction Web Dynpro enabled, please let me know.
Thank you in advance,
Xavier

Hi Xavier,
what i know so far about the convert tool is, that it allows to convert classic ABAP dynpros to Web Dynpro, but not between the ABAP Web Dynpro runtime and the Java Web Dynpro runtime.
Among other things, the PAI and PBO modules of the classic dynpro are reused including possible input validations which may directly access some tables of the ABAP dictionary.
Since all these things are not at all directly accessible by Web Dynpro for Java and the J2EE engine in general, the only thing, that might be transferrable IMHO is the layout information (buttons, inputfields...).
Regards
Stefan

SICF Access for Web Dynpro Development

Developer wants access to SICF to be able to test any Web Dynpro Development. Currently no developer has access and Basis only gives access when requested - and only for short time. I believe developers should have access. Wondering how others have this setup. Thanks!

> If a developer creats an app via SE80 - which does the same in ICF for the service - then SICF access is required.
Are you sure? Or is the tcode check only appearing somewhere in a trace?
If that is true, then ICF service developers will anyway be able to start SICF directly. Please check the coding location of the check from the trace, if it is calling FM AUTHORITY_CHECK_TCODE (which I suspect it is...) then verify in SE97 that an SE80 developer can use (limited, coded...) SICF functionality from other contexts without starting it directly.
What you can also do is protect the ICF services using the authorization group concept (including those you are not using...). If the developer wants to use one (in a new development) then it should be released for them by granting them access to it (authorization object S_ICF_ADM in their role) for development work and then ideally object S_ICF added to the service user they are using for development as well. If they are developing the role for the application together with the application coding development (this is the ideal scenario in my opinion for a knowledgable developer) then give them that access as well in PFCG for the role they are developing.
I think it can safely be said that most developers can be trusted, but also to do stupid things though... and they enter their own user ID in the connection data..
That is a reality. If you trust them and train them and collaborate with them to improve security - then they will be your best friends and understand more about security as well (to protect themselves from their own user ID's...).
This is a very interesting topic. Thanks for raising it.
Cheers,
Julius
ps: I don't like posting links, because I see it as an insult to the person who asked the question as not having done a search and not knowing what they are talking about. But for the benefit of those who use the search and find this thread... please read this documention (or the one which is relevant for your release - I choose a reasonable release level...).

Whats the initial DC for Web Dynpro DC from scratch

Hi,
I want to develop a Web Dynpro Development Component from scratch. So what is the default/initial DC that I have to import from DTR/JDI?.
Thanks,
Raj.

Hi,
rather sparse information... anyway if you start with the "Local Development" configuration in the IDE all required DCs should be part of the NWDS installation.
Otherwise you need to have a track configured that contains SAP_BUILDT, SAP_JTECHS and SAP-JEE. Those three SCAs contain all DCs required for Web Dynpro development.

Web Dynpro Development Components missing for MSS

Hey Guys...
The following BPs are installed on our landscape:
○       Business Package for Manager Self-Service (SAP ERP) 1.3
○       Business Package for Common Parts (SAP ERP) 1.3
○       Business Package for Project Self-Service (SAP ERP) 1.0
○       Business Package for HR Administrator (SAP ERP) 1.1
The ECC is EHP 3, SP 14 and EP is 7.0 SP 14
I've been trying to set up iViews for MSS but I see that all Web Dynpro Applications specified in the technical information of iViews are missing. I searched for Web Dynpro Development Components in the EP and all MSS related WDC are just missing.
According to SAP Help Documentation (http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_03/helpdata/en/76/77594d165144a1a9bff9aae1e26b26/content.htm) these are required:
Web Dynpro Development Components:
○       PCUI_GP
○       MSS
○       SAP_PSS
Where can I get them??? Is it possible our basis didn't install the right Business Package?

Seems you have got right business packages, though have a look at note [1303362|https://websmp230.sap-ag.de/sap%28bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==%29/bc/bsp/spn/sapnotes/index2.htm?numm=1303362] to confirm dependency.
"but I see that all Web Dynpro Applications specified in the technical information of iViews are missing."
Well this could be because of errorsome business package deployment, you can still check list of deployed components from SDM and if there is any error log for deployement, you should try to deploy them again(update existing components).
Hope this helps. If not then probably you should go Content Admin - WebDynpro and see list of application listed under MSS.. if those referred applications are available then try to execute them.
And last one.. if you "think" they wont run.. or you have actually tried to run MSS and none of applications are working. you should be able to run standard package without any major configuration chanegs.. so give it a go.. and see if you encounter any error.
Cheers

Search help for Web Dynpro using the SAP-search help

Hi,
Im trying to create a generic search help for Web Dynpro using the SAP-search help. It should working so, that I construct a Web Dynpro-component, that gets the data of the search help from the SAP-system, interpreted it and creates the ui-elements and the needed context generic.
The mapping between the Input field of the customerview and the right search help is to be made with an xml-file, which contains the information: name of the view, the input field, the search-help-name and the name of the field that will be returned.
The xml-file is reading from a helper-class. That helper-class contains any information, witch need the search help-component as well as the customer-component.
The initialization takes place in the method wdDoModify of the customer. The call of the search help from the customer should be implement with an Action, witch is bound to a Button(create dynamic in the helper-class behind the input field).
In a second foot should be create a plugin for eclipse, witch insert the used files (search help component, helper class, ) in the project. In addition it should create the call in the customer generic.
It would be great if someone can give me a feedback!

Hi Mike,
The BlanketAgreement.exe is a reference to the executable that will be created when you compile the solution you created in Part II - Part III. I think there is a mistake in the tutorial because it asks you to name the project 'Blanket' which means that by default the executable will be called Blanket.exe and not BlanketAgreement.exe. The tutorial also misses the step asking you to compile the Blanket project before you go on to create an installer. You should compile your Blanket project in Release mode before creating an installer. By compiling the project you'll get a Blanket.exe file in the bin folder of your Blanket project which you then need to add to the installer per the instructions.
SAP do offer development courses in some areas and there is training material here on the SDN and on the SAP partner portal (and maybe the customer portal as well). Try searching this forum for 'training' or 'tutorial' and you should get a few links. There's also a development certification.
Personally I'd recommend you give yourself a little project to work on and just get stuck in
Kind Regards,
Owen

What SAP component support Flash Island in Web Dynpro for ABAP?

Hi Experts,
What SAP component support Flash Island in Web Dynpro for ABAP? I don't find flash island control to place it in the view.
Thanks,
Duy

FlashIsland is a native UI element like table or image - not a reusable component like ALV. What release level is your system? FlashIsland is only available on NetWeaver 7.0 Enhancement Package 1 and higher.
Also the FlashIsland UI element must be a root UI element. Therefore it has be created in its own view. Right mouse click on the ROOTUIELMENT in the UI element hierarchy and choose Swap UI Element Definition.

Want docs for Web Dynpro ABAP

Hi All ,
Can anyone please send me the Docs or link for Web Dynpro ABAP .
Thanks in advance
Rahul

Hi,
Web Dynpro ABAP
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/db22242d-0701-0010-28a2-aeaa1fefd706
Also, I have the official Web Dynpro for ABAP documentation. Please let me know if I should send it to you.
Hope that the following also helps you.
Web Dynpro for ABAP (WD4A, WDA) is the SAP standard UI technology for developing Web
applications in the ABAP environment. It consists of a runtime environment and a graphical
development environment with special Web Dynpro tools that are integrated in the ABAP
Workbench (SE80).
Web Dynpro offers the following advantages for application developers:
? The use of declarative and graphical tools significantly reduces the implementation
effort
? Web Dynpro supports a structured design process
? Strict separation between layout and business data
? Reuse and better maintainability by using components
? The layout and navigation is easily changed using the Web Dynpro tools
? Stateful applications are supported that is, if the page is changed and the required
data remains intact so that you can access it at any time throughout the entire
application context.
Note that stateless applications are not possible.
? Automatic data transport using data binding
? Automatic input check
? Automatic operation of the Web Dynpro application using the keyboard
? User interface accessibility is supported
? Full integration in the reliable ABAP development environment
Web Dynpro Architecture
Definition
Web Dynpro is the SAP NetWeaver programming model for user interfaces (UIs).
The Web Dynpro model is based on the Model View Controller paradigm, and has the
following features that build on the classic dynpro model:
? Clear separation of business logic and display logic
? Uniform metamodel for all types of user interfaces
? Execution on a number of client platforms.
? Extensive platform independence of interfaces
Structure
Metamodel Concept
Web Dynpro provides support for developing Web representation of a business application.
You use specific tools to describe the properties of a Web Dynpro application in the form of
Web Dynpro metadata. The necessary source code is then generated automatically and
executed at runtime. In addition to the events offered by the framework, you can also define
your own events for a Web Dynpro application. However, the event handling must always be
programmed in separate source code areas which are executed automatically when the event
is triggered at runtime.
In Web Dynpro, each user interface is always made up of the same basic elements. These
elements of the metamodel can be statically declared using Web Dynpro tools.
It is also possible to implement elements of the metamodel at runtime and to change them or
reintegrate them at runtime. Using these implementations, you can make any changes or
enhancements to a user interface that has been created by declarative methods by
generating new interface structures at runtime.
This means that you can combine declarative processes and the implementation of source
code.
Graphical Development Tools
To support this declarative concept, both the SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio and the
ABAP Workbench contain a range of Web Dynpro tools. You can therefore generate a large
proportion of a Web Dynpro application using the tools provided, without having to create your
own source code. This applies to the following parts of the application:
? Data flow between the front end and back end
? Layout of the user interface
? Properties of user interface elements
The Web Dynpro tools enable you to create source text areas manually within generated
source texts. These areas are not changed if the source code is regenerated.
Separation of Business and Application Logic
Using Web Dynpro enables a clear separation of business logic and display logic. A Web
Dynpro application runs on the front end and has local or remote access to the back end
system via a service. This means that the display logic is contained in the Web Dynpro
application, while the business logic and the persistence of the business objects run in the
back end system. The following options are currently available for connecting Web Dynpro
applications and the back-end system:
? An interface generated using adaptive RFC, through which BAPIs of an SAP system
can be called
? An interface for calling Web services
? A self-generated interface
The source code required for connecting the Web Dynpro application can be generated
from a UML definition of the Web Dynpro interface. A UML definition can be imported
into the Web Dynpro tools as an XML file.
Conversion of the Model-View-Controller
Conversion of the Model-View-Controller Programming Model
Every Web Dynpro application is structured according to the Model View Controller
programming model:
? The model forms the interface to the back end system and thus enables the
Web Dynpro application access to data.
? The view is responsible for the representation of the data in the browser.
? The controller lies between the view and the model. The controller formats
the model data to be displayed in the view, processes the user entries made by the
user, and returns them to the model.

How to Login to Web Dynpro developer studio in real time scenario.

Hi,
1. How to Login to Web Dynpro developer studio in real time scenario.
Do we have login pad and User id to enter developer studio.
Is the user id for login maintained in UME of J2EE engine.
2. How to stop and start j2ee engine in real time. Is it same SAP Management console is used like in Demo version.
3. If I use central server, Do I have to install GUI like SAP R/3 GUI to Develop, test and deploy my application.
Cheers,
Sam

Hi,
What do you mean with real time scenario? Do you talk about runtime?
NetWeaver Developer Studio (NWDS) is only for design time and you install it on the local PC/laptop of the developer. The 'connection' between NWDS and engine is specified in the preferences (Window->Preferences->SAP J2EE engine) of NWDS. The development track is in 'real life' (e.g. if the engine is a remote one) connected with support from SLD (System Landscape Directory) which is a tool for managing the NWDI (NetWeaver Development Infrastructure). In normal case, there are so-called 'development configurations' that can be imported into NWDS (Window->Preferences->Java Development Infrastructure).
For starting and stopping the engine, there are several possibilities: SAP MMC, view in NWDS or console.
If you've a central server, you connect your NWDS to this central server and then you can deploy to this central server.

Jan

How to configure SSO for web dynpro ABAP (not web dynpro Java)

Hi Experts,
    I am testing SSO in IDES for web dynpro ABAP (Not for web dynpro Java / not for portal). When I am entering url of web dynpro application in web browser like internet explorer, then it should ask for user id and password first time, after login whenever user would access that url, it must not ask for user ID and password (url would be access web browser in mobile). For this I select to configure single sign-on for web dynpro ABAP. I have done below works:
1). I have created a web dynpro application having url: http://susws076.sap.swk:<port>/sap/bc/webdynpro/sap/zadb_hello_world2
2). I run TCode SICF and access service node to "Zadb_hello_world2". Double click on it, hit change. pressed "logon data" tab, select "Alternative logon
     procedure"
   Then deleted all logon procedure other than "SSO Authentication" and saved.
3). Go to "STRUST" and create certificate, choosed "Environment==> Logon Ticket" fill the required parameters and execute. It is OK (no red traffic
     signal).
4). Execute TCode "RZ10" to change profile parameter, insert new parameter (indicated by red arrow)
After all this settings I opened a browser enter above URL and hit enter but there is an error
There is no login page. It directly showed this error page. No cookies is saving.
Can anyone tell me what all the settings/configuration other than this I have to do. And is there any wrong setting done by me?
How to set the for single sign-on?
Thanks in Advance

JCO Connection for web-dynpro tutorials (EP 6.0 SP9 downlaod from SDN)

Hello,
I have a question regarding JCO connections for web-dynpro example/tutorials. I have installed WAS 6.40 sneak preview from EP 6.0 SP9 download from SDN. Installation instruction says: Choose "No SLD available"
but the web-dynpro example/tutorial asks to create JCO connections by going to web-dynpro -> content admin..etc on http:<host>:50000..Here, all the tabs relating to creating JCO connections appear to be "protected" on my screen. so I can't do anything further. By going to http:<host>:50000/sld, I also tried to add SLD server..but that is not helping. There is some "import" button, but which CIM file (in which folder etc) am i supposed to import for a simple test system? What are the steps for a bare minimum setup so that I can use the WAS 6.20 system at work-place as my backend & try out the web-dynpro examples? Do I really need SLD setup? Where is documentation about all this after one installs the WAS 6.40 JAva? I was expecting it somewhere at least in the eclipse IDE help-documentation..None of the web-dynpro tutorials explain this !
thanks

Thanks everybody.
NagaKishore, after doing all the steps, when I goto
localhost:50000-> web dynpro -> content administartor, and try to "maintain JCO Destinations" I am getting this error: (full stack trace not included)

How to calculate execution time for web reports, for query execution we will go through RSRT, by giving query name and press execute + Debug button then select statistical data & Do not Cache buttons then press enter, after getting output press on back button, we will get duration of the query.....
But my question is , can we calculate execution time for webreport, if so can you please guide me.
and can you also tell me , if there is any RRI for one report, how to calculate execution time for these queries.
Ex : Query ABC have XYZ as its drilldown report , i need to calculate execution time for XYZ report via ABC report.
Thanks in advance,
Best Regards.

How to call custom themes for Web Dynpro ABAP Application?

Hi,
I need to change the appearance of Web Dynpro ABAP application. So far I followed below steps,
1.     Created theme folder u2018testngou2019 (SE80->MIME Repositoty -> SAP->PUBLIC->BC->UR->nw5->themes -> u2018testngou2019 ).
2.     used program BSP_UPDATE_MIMEREPOS to dowmloaod content of u2018sap_tradeshowu2019 (SE80->MIME Repositoty -> SAP->PUBLIC->BC->UR->nw5->themes -> sap_tradeshowu2019) to desktop.
3.     Modified the themes using Eclipse Theme Editor.
4.     used program BSP_UPDATE_MIMEREPOS to upload modified themes to MIME repository u2018testngou2019 (SE80->MIME Repositoty -> SAP->PUBLIC->BC->UR->nw5->themes -> u2018testngou2019) .
My current URL is like http://server.name:XXXX/sap/bc/webdynpro/sap/hrrcf_a_startpage_int_cand?sap-client=XXX.
Now I want to know how custom themes called for Web Dynpro ABAP Application.
Is my approach correct?
...Naddy

Hi Naddy,
What you used is one way and even I failed when tried that method,
Instead go to SE38 - WD_THEMES - and you need to upload the zip file and you need to follow a folder structure.
it is case sensitive, atleast the zip file.
Make a zip file by name "Project.zip" -
Create a Folder Project and have the below folder structure,
1 data - all the properties files and also the designinfo file, below is the code
2 themes - (to get all the files download the theme from portal and you will have all the folders)
   2.1 ur
     2.1.1 name of the theme
       2.1.1.1 common
       2.1.1.2 csf
       2.1.1.3 r
       2.1.1.4 ur - all the css files (would be good if you can get the files from the server.)
       2.1.1.5   WSRP
3 war - empty folder
*.designinfo
isVisible=true
version=7.0.14.1.0
isDefault=false
isSapDesign=false
designName=**** name of the theme
Once done create a zip file and click on Start Import and give the path and will ask for transport request, it will take a while to upload once done as mentioned in the use the parameter sap-ep-themeroot="path"
This will resolve the issue.
Cheers-
Pramod
