SP18 effect on Web Dynpro controls?

Hey All,
Does anyone know if SP18 made any changes to any of the Web Dynpro controls? We recently went to SP18 and are now seeing some very odd things happening. Just to narrow down where the problem might be, just wanted to see if there are any known changes to Web Dynpro controls.
Example: Calendar control, if you type in 31/05/07, an error message will be returned in German. When all other error messages are returned in the correct language.
Thanks,
-Kevin

These validation messages are not part of the Web Dynpro UI elements but come from the Java DDIC. So if you find a bug, open an OSS message on BC-DWB-JDD.

Web Dynpro ABAP - Java stack required?

Hey everyone,
We are currently planning an upgrade to ECC 6.0 and Netweaver 2004s. A source of debate during this planning has been whether or not to install the Java stack in our upgraded system.
I'm an ABAP developer, so I'm really looking forward to using Web Dynpro ABAP. Does anyone know if the Java stack is required to effectively use Web Dynpro ABAP? It seems like the two should be independent...but I just want to be sure.
Thanks in advance!!
Chad

No, you do not need the java stack to run WDA applications. It runs purely on the ABAP stack. You can develop your WDA app in SE80 and run it. It will run in a browser from the ABAP stack. If you have a portal, then you know that this runs on the java stack. Also, your portal is probably not running on the same box as your backend ERP system. If you running a portal, I would suggest installing both the java stack as well as the ABAP stack for you portal to run on. Then you will be able to use WDA to create applications to run in your portal.
So to sum up, the portal runs on the java side, if you have both stacks running under your portal you can development WDA and WDJ applications, which both can run on that same engine. To answer you question, you DON'T need the java stack to develop and run your WDA application, but if you want it to run in a portal, then you need a java stack to run the portal on top of. This can be a completly separate box and a standalone java stack. Did I confuse you even more?

Jsp and web dynpro

Hello All,
We are using web dynpro to add and edit records in a database. We are using jsp to produce reports from the same data since we feel that we cannot acheive the desired effect with web dynpro. The problem is having web dynpro and jsp communicate. I can use portal eventing but sometime I need large amounts of data such as maybe all the search criteria to generate a new report. What would be the best way to do this?
Thanks

How about creating a dynpro that has a form that has hidden objects that you can link a context variable too within your dynpro. Then have the form submit 'action' be the jsp. If you use method=post, you can pass all kinds of data.

Import Data from Office Control (Web Dynpro for ABAP) into internal-Table

Hello,
I have a question concerning the Office Control UI-Eelement in Web Dynpro for ABAP:
How can I import spreadsheet data from the Office Control into a internal-table?
I have an Excel-sheet (without any data) which is shown initially in the Office Control. First the empty Excel-Sheet will be loaded and in the second step data from an alvxml-transformation will be loaded into the Excel-sheet with the method 'activatexmlsource'. This works so far. When I change the loaded data in the Office Control and save it it will be stored as XLS-File. The problem is that I'm not able to use existing Upload-FM because every function module I tried uses GUI-functions and WebDynpro has no GUI-functionality. I always get the error that data from clipboard cannot be imported.
So now the question is:
How can I import changed data from the Office control into a internal-table staying in Web Dynpro application?
Please give some advice, if you have some useful code or ideas.
Thanks

Hi,
Once you save to desktop again you have made some changes to that file, this file you want to upload it right.
Then in that case you need to use the FILEUPLOAD UI element right.

OfficeIntegration control in Web Dynpro ABAP

Hi,
Is anyone aware of a test Web Dynpro component available in ECC6 that demonstrates this functionality? We're trying to add the control to a test component but failing to set the dataSource correctly.
Is the dataSource property meant to be a URL, physical file location or byte stream? Please advise because the doco on help.sap.com is a little sketchy.
Thanks in advance.
Nick

I am afraid that it is not possible , atleast there are no API to do that.

Table Control in web-dynpro for java

Hi SDN,
I was working on a web-dynpro application where I has to display a table control.
Here I am listing my Requirement.
1) A table with 7 columns are to be displayed.
2) 5 of the columns are Drop down list where 3 of the 5 drop downs have dependency of the pervious drop down selection.
3)other 2 columns are input box.
4)The list for the drop downs come from a bapi.
5)the user is to be allowed as many rows he can
6)when he clicks save button the values are to be stored using table of another bapi
Hi all, I have posted this earlier but no solution for this please help me in resolving this.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Sai krishna.

Hi Sai,
I have better solution, I will explain solution for your design and then I will explain new design.
Solution to your problem
How many values each drop down contains? If its not large, execute all drop downs in the beginning of the application and store them in HashMap with dependency key and value as the list of populated values.
- Create a top Node
1) A table with 7 columns are to be displayed.
Create 5 Value Nodes with simple type attributes under your topnode. Set singleton property for each of the node to false. And attach them to the Drop Downs. Populate the parent drop down and non dependent drop downs in the begining itself.
2) 5 of the columns are Drop down list where 3 of the 5 drop downs have dependency of the pervious drop down selection.
Attach onSelect events and based on the current selection of the values, check your pre populated HashMap and fill the node with new values.
3)other 2 columns are input box.
This is normal, create two nodes with simple types under Top Node.
4)The list for the drop downs come from a bapi.
As mentioned previously all these values are pre populated. so you need not to call the BAPI for each request.
5)the user is to be allowed as many rows he can
Provide Add,Delete buttons which dynamically creates rows which means your context elements.
6)when he clicks save button the values are to be stored using table of another bapi
Read the values from nodes and send it to other BAPI.
New Design
As per your requirement create a form with 5 drop downs and 2 input fields( for dependency you can use the logic mentioned in the previous design). Provide Add,Delete and Update Buttons under the form. And also create a Result table with 7 columns with simple attribute types. Once user enters some values in the form and clicks on Add button then add a new value to the Bottom result table which doesn't have any drop downs. When user needs to update any row on selection of the row populate the values back to the form, then user clicks on update button. Same logic applies to delete also.

Abhilash

Adobe Forms - Table control data Saved in Database table through Web Dynpro

Hello Friends,
I Am facing a Problem in Adobe Forms through Web Dynpro.
i Want to Make Interactive online Adobe Forms - In Table Control user enter the multiple entry in the table control and after that Click on SAVE button , entry will saved in Database table.
Please guide me.
Thanks in advance.
Gaurav.

Hi Gaurabh,
For interactive form you have to check the property DisplayType = native and PdfSource should be a Context Attribute of type 'Xstring'.
For data retrieval, create a NODE and have all the required attributes within that node of AOBE form.
Fetch the data in WDDOINIT.
Also check, that the offline senario for this form is working.
Hope it helps you.

Absolute URL IMAGE UI control in Web Dynpro ABAP fails

I would like to display a .jpg from the Internet, either using a URL or an RFC Destination as the source.
The "Web Dynpro ABAP Development in Detail" manual says that this can be done using only the Source attribute of the IMAGE UI control (see page 114) - that is,
   create an RFC Destination G-HTTP entry for the URL,
   type in that RFC Destination as $NAME$
   append any further extension of the URL as "/path in lower letters"
I can enter an RFC Destination (ex., $UBERORBS$) which points directly to a single image file via its host/path and it is displayed in SE80's Layout Preview, but nothing displays at runtime.
If I try to extend an RFC Destination's path to point to that image file (ex., $UBERORBS_BASE$/uberorbs_44pence.jpg), the image is also displayed in the Layout Preview, but not at runtime.
Is this a bug? or something wrong with our implementation? We are at SAP_BASIS 700 level 0006.
(Also, if the Source entry is not exactly correct, SE80 aborts following the entry with STRING_OFFSET_NEGATIVE.)

Here's another piece of information.
I am able to use the test app WDR_TEST_UI_ELEMENTS to display at runtime the $UBERORBS$ RFC Destination-absolute URL image.
So, does this mean that there is a critical setting within my Web Dynpro component which must be set properly to permit this?

Authorization control in Web Dynpro

Dear experts,
I have a question about setting authorization in Web Dynpro. For example, how can I control if a button can be pressed or what kinds of data should be displayed based on user role in UME.
Moreover, if I have security settings declared in EJB (ejb-jar.xml). Then I use this EJB in Web Dynpro. Can the UME role be passed to the EJB, i.e. the security setting in EJB still valid? Thanks.
Best regards,
Ken

Hi
I have created a webdynpro component that interacts with SAP. I have done the authorization control through SLD. Well for individual elements of a webdynpro application i dont know if it is possible to restrict through authorization control.Maybe its something that needs to be worked upon.
thanks

Skills Profile - Enhance Web DynPro to handle Effective Date

We are working with the ESS BP on ECC 6.0 and have a requirement to enter an Effectivity Date for the start of a qualification. The trouble is that the existing function for updating the qualification profile (XSS_SKL_APPLY_QUALI_PROFILE) does not allow for a beginning date to be passed in. Instead it uses the current date (Sy-Datum) which is set on initialization of the SkillsApplication (via FM XSS_SKL_INITIALIZE_DATA). I have tried to enhance the structure for the qualification profile (structure RHXSS_SKL_EMPLOYEE) but it is marked as Can Not be Enhanced by SAP.
Does anyone have any thoughts on a good way to add this functionality? I'd hate to throw away all of SAP's work with the SkillsApplication and write one from scratch just for this small change, but it's looking like that might be my only option.

The following describes the changes required for adding the effectivity date to the Standard Skills Profile Web Dynpro Java screen.
ABAP Changes
1. Get modification keys for hte following structures and change the enhancement category of the strucures to "Can Be Enhanced Deep".
     RHXSS_SKL_EMPLOYEE
     RHXSS_SKL_PROF_UPD
     RHXSS_SKL_QUALIPROFILE
2. Add appends to each of the structures in step 1 for feidl ZEFFDATE
     RHXSS_SKL_EMPLOYEE - ZZEFFDATE type BEGDATUM
     RHXSS_SKL_PROF_UPD - ZZEFFDATE type String
     RHXSS_SKL_QUALIPROFILE - ZZEFFDATE type BEGDATUM
3. Enhance the following function modules for setting/getting the values of ZZEFFDATE
     XSS_SKL_APPLY_QUALI_PROFILE
     XSS_SKL_CONFIRMATION_DATA
     XSS_SKL_GET_PROFILE_OVERVIEW
     XSS_SKL_GET_QUALI_DETAIL_DATA
4. Enhance the following Includes using the Modification Assistant or Enhancement Framework for setting/getting
    LRHXSS_SKL_INTERFACEF01
    LRHXSS_SKL_INTERFACETOP
Java Changes
Track: Make a new track for the ESS Component. A quick SDN search should produce for you a Cookbook for setting this up in the NWDI
DC: esssklsap.com
1. Reimport the Skills model to get the ABAP changes into WebDynpro
2. Create a new Application (zSkillsApplication in my case)
3. Modify the Application properties to tell the framework manager to use the CcSklConfiguration component for navigation configuration
     Properties
     sap.authentication = true
     sap.xss.configurationComponentDC = sap.com/ess~skl
    sap.xss.configurationComponentName = com.sap.xss.hr.skl.CcSklConfiguration
4. In the Interface Controller of Component CcSklConfiguration, modify the navigation Graph as follows
navigationGraph =
   new NavigationGraph(
    new NavigationPath[] {
     new NavigationPath("",IFPM.EVENT_START,"OVERVIEW"),
     new NavigationPath("OVERVIEW",IFPM.EVENT_EDIT,"DETAIL"),
     new NavigationPath("OVERVIEW",IFPM.EVENT_ADD,"SELECT"),
     new NavigationPath("OVERVIEW",IFPM.EVENT_REVIEW,"REVIEW"),
     new NavigationPath("OVERVIEW",IFPM.EVENT_REMOVE, "OVERVIEW"),
//begin replace ERICV - Go Straight to Review&Save
//     new NavigationPath("DETAIL",IFPM.EVENT_ADD, "OVERVIEW"),
     new NavigationPath("DETAIL",IFPM.EVENT_ADD, "REVIEW"),
//end replace ERICV - Go Straight to Review&Save
     new NavigationPath("DETAIL",IFPM.EVENT_BACK, "OVERVIEW"),
     new NavigationPath("DETAIL",IFPM.EVENT_SELECT, "SELECT"),
     new NavigationPath("SELECT",IFPM.EVENT_EDIT, "DETAIL"), >
5. In the Component FcSklBusinessLogic, make the following changes:
        a. Perform the context mapping of the new ZZEFFDATE field in the Interface Controller and Standard Controllier
        b. Modify the insUpdSkill method of the Component Controller to populate the Effective Date
try {
   wdContext.nodeApply_Quali_Profile_Input().bind(
    (Xss_Skl_Apply_Quali_Profile_Input) model.createModelObject(Xss_Skl_Apply_Quali_Profile_Input.class));
   Xss_Skl_Apply_Quali_Profile_Input input = new Xss_Skl_Apply_Quali_Profile_Input();
   Rhxss_Skl_Employee insUpdVector = new Rhxss_Skl_Employee();
   insUpdVector.setSkill_Id(wdContext.currentContextElement().getQualiId());
   insUpdVector.setExist_Profcy(wdContext.currentContextElement().getProfDropDown());
   //Begin Insert ERICV - Add Effective Date to Skills Qualification
   insUpdVector.setZzeffdate(wdContext.currentContextElement().getZzEffDate());
   //End Insert ERICV - Add Effective Date to Skills Qualification
   input.addProfile_Ins_Tab(insUpdVector);
   wdContext.nodeApply_Quali_Profile_Input().bind(input);
   wdContext.currentApply_Quali_Profile_InputElement().modelObject().execute();
} catch (Exception ex) {
   fpm.getMessageManager().raiseException(wdThis.wdGetAPI().getComponent(), ex);
6. In the Component VcSklDetail make the following changes:
     a. Context mapping of all relevant nodes to get the new ZZEFFDATE field in the context
     b. Screen modifications to get the ZZEFFDATE on the screen
     c. Modify the initDetail method of the Component Controller
if ((sklOutputElement.getExpiry_Date() == null) || (sklOutputElement.getExpiry_Date().equals(""))) {
   wdContext.currentContextElement().setLicenceVisibility(WDVisibility.NONE);
//begin insert ERICV - set the zzEffective Date
     //convert date to java.util.date
         SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("mm/dd/yyyy");
try {
   java.util.Date myDate = sdf.parse(wdContext.currentGet_Quali_Detail_Data_OutputElement().getStart_Date());
   sdf.applyPattern("yyyy-mm-dd");
   wdContext.currentContextElement().setZzEffDate(Date.valueOf(sdf.format(myDate)));
} catch (ParseException e) {
   // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();

Embedding SAP standard iviews in Tab controls with Web Dynpro

Hi,
I would like to develop a Web Dynpro application using TabStrip control. I have to display SAP standard iViiw(ex: KM navingation iView, expore iView) in each Tab. How can I embed iViews in each Tab in Web Dynpro.
Thanks
Tats

Hi,
using the IFrame UI element to display an iView inside a WD application will not work in general as the iFrame is reloaded after each request executed for the embedding WD application. In case that the iView is "stateless" this restriction is perhaps not so hard but you should nevertheless make sure that the ongoing reloading of the iFrame does NOT create new sessions again and again on the server-side for the iView running in the iFrame.
With the next NetWeaver release we will provide a capability to define page layouts using WD components. Doing this it will be easily possible to define a page layout showing several iViews in different tabs of a tab strip.
Best regards
Jochen

Can I insert ActiveX controls in Web Dynpro Java?

We want to insert ActiveX controls in Web Dynpro 7.3.
Is it possible?

Using the WebWidget UI element you can insert any HTML and JavaScript code but this does not guarantee that your special ActiveX control will work correctly.

Controlling visibility of Web Dynpro Java iView in portal WDJ page

I should be able to use the WDPortalUtils interface in my Web Dynpro Java DC application to get the name of the iView in my Portal WDJ page using IWDPageService method getVisibleIViews(). My intent is to add another iView to this page and programmatically control the visibility of each iView from my WDJ application.
-> Instructions I have found through my online research indicate I should not have to specify a sharing reference because I am using the WDJ framework, but I tried it anyway. It didn't work.
-> I have added DC epbc.prtapi._api public part to my used DC's, and specified dependency at both Build time and Run time.
-> My portal page template is of type Web Dynpro Proxy Page.
-> My iView template is of type Web Dynpro Proxy iView.
-> The Page Content view of my page shows the 'visible' checkbox set for my iView.
The following statements in the wdDoInit() method of my DC's view controller should return the portal name of my iView:
IWDPageService pageService = (IWDPageService) WDPortalUtils.getService(WDPortalServiceType.PAGE_SERVICE);
String[] iViews = pageService.getVisibleIViews();
I get no compile time errors or runtime errors when I execute these statements.
BUT...
Instead of a String array, I get back a memory space pointer.
Example: [Ljava.lang.String;@664e664e
What am I missing?

Hi Jennifer,
That's what this forum is all about; finding solutions to hard-to-solve issues, which might also help someone who may face the same issue in the future. So I hope my input is valuable
The last thing I can think of is the method is been called before the portal page has been rendered completely, which may lead to the faulty results.
Is it possible to move the getVisibleIviews() to a method which is called later in the phase (for instance, at the bottom of wdDoModify or wdDoPostProcessing) or, even better, in an onAction event handler when a button is clicked?
If this doesn't work I'm afraid I'm running out of options and i would file an OSS message with SAP
Hope this helps!

ADT: Web Dynpro view/window error "Failed to create the part's controls"

Hi, all
Most of the things in my ADT work fine (e.g. programs, structures, domains), even the Web Dynpro Componentcontroller can be edited.
However, with Web Dynpro view and window I get this error message: "Failed to create the part's controls".

Hi Ponraj,
note applied without any problem.
I'm still facing some difficulties accessing a WD component, maybe you could suggest me how to solve/proceed:
in Eclipse Luna, I can access now a WD but "Layout" tab doesn't work - HTTP 403 Forbidden - Service cannot be reached. I guess it's a missing configuration, could you help me out on this?
EDIT: This one is solved; I just missed to activate a service in SICF (WDY_AIE_VD_PREVIEW).
That Eclipse module however seems not to be very stable; I tried to open a standard SRM WD view (wd component /SAPSRM/WDC_DO_SOCO_GAF_1, view V_AO_SOCO_GAF_1) and that resulted in the message:
500 SAP Internal Server Error
ERROR: Conversion of type C LENGTH 255 to type TABLE OF DEEP_STRUCTURE not supported. (termination: RABAX_STATE)"
is there a way, from the Methods tab, to access directly to a particular method's implementation? The only way I found is going manually under the IMPLEMENTATION tab and CTRL+F with the method's name.
is there any way to access to a particular enhancement made on the WD? Using SapGUI, there's a special "vortex" button to switch on a specific enhancement, but under Eclipse I can't find the alternative command.
I know we're getting a bit OT with respect to the topic, anyway if there's a guide that could help clarifying my doubts please, share that documentation
BR,
M.
