Saving ALV settings in a Webdynpro for ABAP.

Hi there,
I would like to modify from code side the standard filter settings after user selection, i mean:
i) User adds the filter fields it wants using ALV standard filter settings.
ii) I add via code an additional field to the filter criteria selected by user.
I have done that using if_salv_wd_filter~create_filter_rule ( ) but this only affects to the current filter applied and, what i would like to do is adding my new entry to the saved filter rules (i do not want to add my new filter rule to the current ones, i want to add it to the saved ones).
The functionality i want to achieve is to display a filter header in the ALV (for a field that has not been specified by the user) when the WDA is opened with an initial saved setting profile.
Is this possible? any suggestion regarding modification of saved filter profiles?
Thanks in advance

Hi Durga,
I am afraid that these can not help me :(. The link you have provided refers to information regarding ALV Grid, and i think that there are many model design diferences between ALV Grid and the Abap Webdypro one.
Anyway i think that the filter settings that can be modified via source code are always related to "on air" filter criteria and i want to modify the "persistent" saved settings profiles.
All in all, it is a very interesting document in order to implement commons dynpros with ALVs, thanks for the info :).
Regards.

In webdynpro for ABAP alv table issue

hello gurus,
                  i am new for webdynpro for ABAP.i strucked at one point at designing time.anybody could you suggest me on this.
thanks in advance.
let me explain my scenario first.
in my webdynpro for ABAP developement i have one alv table having ten fields.i am featching the data for eight fields from one Ztabale and updating , for rest of two fields we need to fill after displaying output using the respective F4 help. Right now these two fields are in input editable mode.now i am getting the values successfully from F4 help and at the same time it is allowing MANUAL ENTRIES also but as per my requirement it should not allow any manual entries . for this i have made these two fields are in readonly mode as like as rest of fields to avoid the MANUAL ENTRIES but at this time i didnot get any F4 helpfor those two fields.
so how can i achive my goal in this thing could any one suggest me.
my final conclusion is we need to get only F4 help values into those two fields . it should not allow any manual values at any point of time.
best regards,
babu

WDA: TreeByNestingTableColumn and ALV in webdynpro for ABAP

Hi,
1) I am trying to implement a tree with nested structure and multiple columns. I am using RecursionNode in the context and UI element TreeByNestingTableColumn. I am not able to figure out how to make a distinction between the key and parent key. In TreeByKeyTableColumn, we use key and parent key to differentiate. Is there any link which explains how to implement TreeByNestingTableColumn in Webdynpro for ABAP? (I got a link for webdynpro for java though).
2) Can ALV be used to implement a tree structure instead of using Table with TreeByNestingTableColumn or TreeByKeyTableColumn? Then I would be readily able to use ALV features like sort etc. If it can be used is there any link which explains how to do it in Webdynpro for ABAP?

Hi Srinivasa,
I can answer the first point. If you use a recursive node and TreeByNestingTableColumn, there is no need to have a rowKey and parentRowKey, since the recursion with the context already defines the hierarchy. As far as I know someone posted a blog that explains how to use the TreeByNestingTableColumn in Web Dynpro Java. I don't have the link available, but this blog would be good place to start. The implementation in WDA and WDJ is pretty much the same here.
Kind regards,
Thomas

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.

Is DD/MM/YYYY supported in webdynpro for abap application

Hi All,
We are using 2 different time statements one developed in webdynpro for java and other in webdynpro for abap.date format in java is DD/MM/YYYY but in webdynpro for abap is DD.MM.YYYY.
is DD/MM/YYYY supported in webdynpro for ABAP application or even if user enters DD.MM.YYYY can we convert that to DD/MM/YYYY so that we will maintain uniformity in both the applications

WebDynpro for ABAP Vs Java

Hi all,
I have recently started learning Web Dynpro for ABAP.
I have worked in WebDynpro for Java.
1)I wanted to understand pros and cons of WebDynpro for ABAP and Java.
2)What are the functionality that are available in Web Dynpro for Java but not in Web Dynpro for ABAP.
3)What should be preferred when considering performance issues - WD for ABAP of Java?
Any Web Log or Link in this context will be helpful.
Thanks a lot,
Rashmi

Hi,
OOPs ABAP uses Classes and Interfaces which uses Methods and events.
If you have Java skills it is advantage for you.
There are Local classes as well as Global Classes.
Local classes we can work in SE38 straight away.
But mostly it is better to use the Global classes.
Global Classes or Interfaces are to be created in SE24.
SAP already given some predefined classes and Interfaces.
This OOPS concepts very useful for writing BADI's also.
So first create a class in SE 24.
Define attributes, Methods for that class.
Define parameters for that Method.
You can define event handlers also to handle the messages.
After creation in each method write the code.
Methods are similar to ABAP PERFORM -FORM statements.
After the creation of CLass and methods come to SE38 and create the program.
In the program create a object type ref to that class and with the help of that Object call the methods of that Class and display the data.
see the links below, Understand them and start developing.

Webdynpro ABAP. What are the scopes in the coming days for Webdynpro ABAP.
Thanks a lot.

Dear Srini,
Welcome to Web Dynpro for ABAP forum!!!
Webdynpro ABAP is mainly for developing webapplications in ABAP.
WDA includes all the three things i.e. Programming, UI design & Settings (configuration).
As you said you have good experience of 3 yrs in Java. Try to gain some knowledge of ABAP Objects (OOP). It will be helpful to you.
There are lots of threads are available.
Plz chk the below links:

For What purpose we can suggest someone to implement in an Organization.
Many Thanks in Advance.

Hi Ram,
Here Are some comparisions I made w.r.t Webdynpro for ABAP (also some benifits over Java):
1     "Pros:it will be easier to move your development project through the system landscape if both the UI and business logic are in the same development environment.(Update: This is is less of a concern now that CTS+ lets you bundle your WD Java UI developement with ABAP development objects into a single transport, with SPS13. )
2     tons of custom ABAP business logic is easier to access via WD for ABAP
3     WD for ABAP has a code wizard, so easy to build
4     SAP List Viewer and ALV handled better
5      The biggest thing is the NWDI. Most of the SAP customer have ABAP stack, but not everyone has the Java stack. To develop WD Java you need to set up the NWDI envrionment, like SLD, CMS, CBS, DTR, etc. which is a huge effort if you don't have them in place. While for WD ABAP, the environemnt is normally there as given for most of customers if they have the right version.
6     If your business is in SAP system, I would prefer WD ABAP. There are many WD components available in WD ABAP like select-option, Alv table, F4-help which are not available in WD Java. Beside in WD ABAP you can deal the context node in form of internal table which is much more performant than dealing with the contextelement which is the case for WD Java.
