Shortcut keys or Hotkeys for ABAP UI Elements for Navigation

Can we create shortcut keys or hotkeys for ABAP UI elements on an ABAP screen where the user can directly navigate to a particular UI element?
E.g.: Screen containing 5 tabs where the user can directly navigate to a specific tab.

Webdynpro for ABAP vs WD for Java

How different is WD for ABAP from WD for Java?
I have a good knowledge of WD for Java and I know ABAP. But how good and efficient is WD for ABAP? Would it be better to use WD for ABAP or WD for Java for SAP based portal development?
Thanks in advance,
Reena


1. We can embedd the Web Dynpro for ABAP applications in SAP screens in ABAP environment. I don't think it is possible using java web dynpro.

Yes, you probably can, since the application can be fired simply by a URL, there is not reason that you couldn't have an HTML control in your dynpro and point to this URL.
To answer the original question, the development model for each is pretty much the same, just two different flavors. I think that some things make WDA better, one being that it is totally integrated into the ABAP development workbench and the Transport/change control system. On the WDJ side, you development locally and "deploy" your changes using the DTR and CBS. I'm not exactly comfortable with this quite yet, which is why I like WDA better..
Another thing is that we have some built in stuff with WDA, like automatic search help functionality, ALV Grid, and Select-option functionality. I do believe that SAP is working on some of these for WDJ.

Webdynpro for ABAP - Popup apearing for userid and pwd

Hi Experts,
We have implemented ESS and gone live. Now we have created one custom application in webdynpro for ABAP and attached with portal.
Initially there was a problem, the application was not getting executed because of system configuration, then I have configured the host name, port number correctly. Then the iView is getting loaded in the portal.
The problem is, when I am trying to access the iView, the popup apearing for the user id and password. This is happening only the webdynpro abap application, this is not happening for all sap standard iViews.
Could anyone help me with this issue?
Thanks
Jay

Hi Jayanthi,
as you had mentioned this is not happening for sap standard iViews(do you mean simple transaction iViews for which you have used a system alias, which was the same you had used for ABAP web dynpro iview)?
Of courese ESS iViews works with their own JCOs which is no way helpful or connected with wd ABAP.
So I believe if your SAP id and Portal id are different(or if they are same but SAP Logon ticket is not configured properly) then only it woudl ask for the authentication again- for Wd ABAP to work fine, only the connector property and WAS to tbe configured in the system object(aka system alias) used for ABAP iview. Now once you enter the login credentials, it is working fine right, then could you please test the user mapping under the user you are logged in, select the alias that you had used while creating the abap wd iView and provide userid/password here, then run the wd ABAP application, it definitely would work.
N.B: if you had provided the credentials once, then it woud be stored in the browser cache, so if you perform the user mapping in user admin, log off from portal, close all your browser windows, then clear cache,(cookies etc). then login to portal, run the wdABAP application, I am sure this would work(it worked for me!!!).
Thanks,
Jakes.

Use Variant for abap in Sapgui for Java 7.00r2 (Mac)

Hi,
When i want to use a, already existing, Variant for a program i get the error message 'Choose a valid entry'.
This also happens whith a newly stored variant.
The Mac version also has problems with the enter key in SE38.
Seems to me the are new bugs in revision 2.

Hello,
both bugs are fixed in rev 2.1, which I made available just few minutes ago. see ANN: SAP GUI for Java 7.00 rev 2.1 available for download

WebDynpro for ABAP F4-help for KAGRU like PERFORM f4_groups in KSB1

Hello,
I must realize a search-help in a WebDynpro-Component which looks like the F4-help in the transaction KSB1 for field KAGRU.
In the report RKAEP000 it looks like this.
AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR koagr.
PERFORM f4_groups USING    'KSTAR'
                             gs_tka01-ktopl
                    CHANGING koagr.
But in WebDynpro the Function   'K_GROUP_SELECT' wil generate a short dump.
Has anybody an idea, how to make this in WebDynpro?
Greetings

How are you trying to use the search help? You can set up value help in the component itself. Go to the component controller context of your web dynpro component. Select the context node attribute for which you would like to have value help. Now go down to the properties. Next to "Input Help Mode" select "Automatic". If your node attributes were brought in from a table (SAP or custom), then if there is an existing search help it will automatically be brought up now next to "Determined Input Help". Save your changes and activate.
If a search help is not brought in when you change the input help mode to automatic, then you can still create your own method to provide the search help. In this case you will need to create your method in the controller of the view where the user will be entering a value for the field. The method type should be "Method". Make sure to call your search help method within the method WDDOINIT of the view. In the search help method you will need to navigate to your mode, select the values for the field, and then set the attribute value set using those values. You will have to look into K_GROUP_SELECT to see where it is getting the values for KAGRU. I don't think you can call K_GROUP_SELECT directly because it creates a pop-up.
A third option is to use an OVS (object value selector) component. Please see this document for help with OVS:

PP CS6 PageUp & PageDn shortcut keys not working

Heads up... This may look like a simple topic that's been covered before, but read on and you'll see it's different.
I've been using Premiere since v5.5 (Windows 95, not CS 5.5!). I use lots of shortcut keys for all my apps. Premiere has always used PageUp and PageDn to move the cursor to the next edit point (any cut video or audio clip). In PP CS6, I went into change the shortcut keys for those two commands to the same ones I've been using for years. PP CS6 has two sets of options for cursor movements: Selected Track(s) or Any Track. The Any Track is the way it's worked before in earlier versions of PP. I set the Any Tracks Next/Previous to PageDown and PageUp respectively. The actual keystrokes appear in the hot-key window when I press them so I know PP sees the keys and knows what they are.
When I saved the shortcuts and went to the timeline... nada. PgUp and PgDn do nothing. This has nothing to do with selected video tracks as I'm using the Any Tracks option. To do a further test, I changed the shortcut keys to Ctrl+PgUp and Ctr+PgDn for Any Track. When I tested that out, it worked perfectly. So this appears to be a bug of some kind. I've been using PgUp and PgDn for many years. I certainly don't want to have to hold the Ctrl key down while Paging Up and Down to move around the project from clip to clip!
Does anyone have a solution to this one?
Thanks for your help...

"But you can set any shortcut key to suit whatever keys you have available."
Yeah, I know, but every now and then I have to reinstall and then there's the agony of changing again from the defaults :-( In the end, like 'em or hate 'em, sticking with the defaults usually makes for an easier life. I say that as someone who has been commercially programming since 1967 and forced to use practically every crazy language and stupid machine ever invented ;-)

Modelling Info Required for ABAP Work bench

Dear All,
   We need your help in the below issue. Please try to provide your valuable inputs for the same.
   We are trying to develop a solution in the R/3 system which tries to compare different table/fields and checks the consistency of the data in these tables.
E.G: Say we have 2 tables like BUT020 and ADRC, now we would need a modelling tool which sort of maps the primary keys of these tables in the front end and checks whether the data in this table is correct.
    So we would need to write some generic code at the back end which picks these tables/field details at run time and checks the data for inconsistencies. Now at the back end we are comfortable in writing this Generic code in ABAP.
   But we need help in the front end where we can have a modelling tool which say would have a pre-defined set of tables and which would allow us to map these fields in the UI and pass the data to the back end.
    Do you know which modelling tool or a UI which we could use for this purpose. We tried checking with Visual Composer for the UI, but I heard this integrates only with the ESA Repository and we should BO's modelled for the same. So this option was not feasible.
    Please let us know in case you know any tool which can use in the front end to map the tables.
Any suggestion will be highly rewarded.
Warm Regards, Vinay

Hello Sandeep
The reason why it's no longer available is because it's not recommended to install Dual Stack.
The recommendation is to install seperate SAP systems (one SID for ABAP, another SID for Java, a database for each of them).
There are several reasons for that recommendation, refreshing procedure, system copy procedure, setting database parameters seperately for each and so on.
So you would have something like AA1 + Database and AA2 + Database and you connect them using the post configuration steps (template runs etc).
Most or all of the future SAP products will be focused on one engine (either fully ABAP or fully Java).
Kind regards
Tom

PS Action Shortcut Keys Stopped Working

I have saved my actions with each having a shortcut key to tasks I do everyday. For no apparent reason I started PS and when I click on the shortcut keys (ex. shift+F3) instead of the assigned task it starts an unrelated task like new layer menu pops up or it desaturates the image. However when I go to the actions menu and select the task and push play it works fine. Only the shortcut keys seem to be mixed up. Does anyone know what has happened or what I can do to fix this problem?

Its gone back to the default F key shortcuts Gina.
The cause can be one of two things. Either you have deleted or diasabled your Actions (its possible to disable them by unchecking them in the Actions panel) - OR your Operating system has been set in some way to override the F keys. Unfortunately I'm not a windows user, but a similar thing happens on Mac. There will be a control panel somewhere on your machne that allows you to assign these shortcuts.

Logic regarding EVENTS OnFilter and OnLeadSelect for table ui element

provide me logic regarding EVENTS OnFilter and OnLeadSelect for table ui element for webdynpro abap application.

OnLeadSelect - What kind of logic do you want? There are many different things that you could do inthe OnLeadSelect
onFilter- Generally you use IF_WD_TABLE_METHOD_HNDL~APPLY_FILTER to perform the filter operation.
In the onFilter itself you probably just have one line of code:
wd_this->table_method_hndl->apply_filter( ).
In your WDDOMODIFYVIEW you probably have this code to capture the table_method_hndl object:
if first_time = abap_true.
* Get reference of the table view element
l_table ?= view->get_element( 'TABLE' ).
* Get reference to the Filter & Sorting API
wd_this->table_method_hndl ?= l_table->_method_handler.
endif.

Hello. I am using Breeze text editor on my macbook. To exit the editor I need to use "keypad 8". Is there a way to map this to the keyboard or a series of shortcut keys?

Hello. I am using Breeze text editor on my macbook. To exit the editor I need to use "keypad 8". Is there a way to map this to the keyboard or a series of shortcut keys?

I have found the solution for myself for the above. I use a specific scripting program which is accessed by Control A. To pause it, you need to use Control B. not sure if this would work for any other application but it resolves my dilemma after hours of trying!

How to create a proxy object for MOSS integration via WebDynpro For ABAP

Hello all,
I have a question about the creation of an ABAP proxy class in SE80.
When i follow this link:
[https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/6066fbe8-edc4-2910-9584-a9601649747d&overridelayout=true]
i see on page 7 that there is: a tab under create called Enterprise Service/ Web Service with under this tab a tab called proxy object.
When i do this in my SE80 i only see Enterprise Service and not proxy object.
Screenshot
[http://picasaweb.google.be/panneels.robin/SAPScreens#5377623235095894546]
Is there a extra configuration or add-on needed to do this action? Or is there a work-arround for this?
Because we need this for abap web dynpro for communication with MOSS.
Thanks in advance for all your help.
With kind regards,
Robin Panneels

Hi James,
If you like to use SAP web dispatcher as a solution for load balancing portal application, you no need to create system object under systems..
You have to install web dispatcher as separate instance where you need to configure portal apps into it..
Configure web dispatcher like to hit the admin port, use http://<webdisp-server>:<adminport>/sap/admin
For normal portal access, use http://<friendly URL>/irj/portal
The good news is that the webdispatcher knows that the portal supports SSL
Another advantage of this config, is the webdisp, will just replace the apache redirect server. Users will access mycompany.com, without any port number, since we are redirecting 80 to the backend j2ee. Also, https should work like in the normal world.
Profile will be like below...
SAPSYSTEMNAME = WEB
SAPSYSTEM = 00
INSTANCE_NAME = W00
DIR_CT_RUN = $(DIR_EXE_ROOT)/run
DIR_EXECUTABLE = $(DIR_CT_RUN)
Accesssability of Message Server
Message Server Parameters ##########
NOTE: The "ms/http_port" must match the profile on the Central Instance
rdisp/mshost = <FQDN of portal CI Host>
ms/http_port = <Ms port of portal>
SAP Web Dispatcher Ports
#icm/server_port_0 = PROT=HTTP,PORT=81$$
icm/server_port_0 = PROT=HTTP,PORT=80, TIMEOUT=3600, EXTBIND=1 (some OS will not allow to bind ports <1024)
