UML Tool for ABAP?

Is there a UML Tool for ABAP?

I have never tried it but there is a link available for IBM Rational Rose -> ABAP. It was created by Ensemble Systems. The following is a link to some information:

UML Model for the Petstore application

can sun provide us with an UML model of the petstore application so that java designers and programmers can better understand the design. The browsable source code is nice but going through that is a big time consuming task which few can afford.
I hope some more of U guys out there also agree with me and if so please suggest the same.

UML modeling for class diagrams, could not generate code for modified diagr

Hi,
I'm using Java studio Enterprise for creating class diagrams and generating code from the UML using round trip engineering. I'm able to create class diagrams and generate code from the diagram. I tried modifying java code for classes and saved it. Now if I try and modify the diagram its not updating the java code associated with it.
Please suggest the workaround or so.
Thanks
Sunita

Maybe the linkage between the source and model class element is broken. Try to expand the class element from the project tree to see if a source file artifact node (under the class that displays the pathname as the name of the node). If not, that's why. Then, the workaround is to manually add the pathname to the java source file. Here are the steps:
- expand the class in question
- select the source file artifact node
- from the properties window on the right side of the ide, enter the exact pathname to the java source file and press the Enter
It should work now.

Integrated UML tool for ABAP programming

Hi,
I heard that SAP is planning to release (or already release) a tool for creating UML class diagram. This tool is availaible as transaction Is it true? If yes where I can found information about that?
P.S. I know that area availaible external UML tool, but I'm not interested with.
BR, Tomek

hi Daniel,
First of all thanks for the solution you had for the expanding of the bsp tree, i had to do it today, thanks to you (and Thomas Jung) was very fast. Where can i find the uml class diagram, i have already the new generation abap nw 7.02.
Thanks, Ioan.
[Edit]: not in se24 but in se80, right click the class , show/uml diagram

Web Service Model for ABAP Web Service

Hi,
I have developed ABAP web service and called it using web service model in WD. The WS is working from WSNavigator. While calling it from WD, im getting the following exception:
Service call exception; nested exception is:
com.sap.engine.services.webservices.jaxrpc.exceptions.InvalidResponseCodeException: Invalid Response Code: (502) Proxy Error ( No data record is available ).
Is some setting required in R/3 where WS is created or on WAS where the WDAppl is deployed?
Regards,
Smruti

Hi Smruti,
Please try the following:
Go to Web Service model
Logical Port
Uncheck "Use HTTP Proxy" settings..
Also make sure the WAS has entry of R/3 in hosts files..

UML Modeling for Class calling another class in Class Diagram and Sequence

In my application, business delegate is calling Session Facade through business interface. Session Facade is implementing business interface which includes my application business processes.
In my class diagram, I am showing business delegate, business interface and Session Facade.
What kind of relationship should be shown between
1. business delegate and business interface
2. business delegate and Sesion Facade
I am not very sure wthether relationship mentioned above are really need to show.
What should be calling sequence in sequence diagram. Do I really need to show business interface in callling sequence of sequence diagram or I can show business delegate is calling directly to Session Facade.
Thanks
San

In my application, business delegate is calling
Session Facade through business interface. The delegate is interacting with what exactly when you say "through"?
If the delegate uses an interface then there is an association.
If it is getting an interface implementation from some other object then there is an association there.
Given the above then there is no relationship between the implementation of a interface and the delegate however.
Session Facade is implementing business interface which
includes my application business processes.The implementation would have associations to the objects that it is providing a facade for.

Why does R/3 have no ABAP UML modelling tools integrated?

I find it strange that SAP tout the benefits of OO programming and ABAP classes, then completely fail to provide a UML round trip modelling tool integrated into the ABAP workbench.
Doesn't this display a lack of foresight on SAPs behalf? I mean, if you are serious about the use of OO software, shouldn't you be serious about providing the framework such as UML modelling tools to facilitate optimal development?
Currently if I design a solution with ABAP objects, I am using Altova UModel to document the solution, but the lack of integration with the ABAP environment means that I am always struggling to keep the code and model in sync.
does anybody have similar views on this? If views are in accordance, couldn't the SDN community try to lobby SAP to provide such a tool?

Hello Anthony
I document my ABAP-OO developments with Altova UModel, too. A colleague recently showed me that the NetWeaver Developer Studio has UML functionality but for Java developments only (where round-trip engineering is already commonplace).
I assume that the problem with ABAP round-trip engineering is the ABAP dictionary. With Java you have the simple data types and the the class hierarchies of Java. In ABAP we also need the dictionary types.
I would appreciate to have such UML tools for ABAP available, yet I do not expect them to become available in the near future.

Uwe

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

Web Dynpro ABAP

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.

IMPORT_FUNCTION in content model for Records management

Hello!
I customized my own content model for documents with my own attributes, it works fine, and everything is ok... but when i define property IMPORT_FUNCTION in DMWB for my content model, it has dump with error "DP_ERROR_GENERAL" when i'm trying to save the new created document... Even if i set function without code for attribute IMPORT_FUNCTION, it still has dump... why?
i need to get info about uploaded file, such as path and etc... i have found this information only in this function.
Thanks for any help...

Hi Luk,
The linkage of module may be very critical. But if you have a requirement for attaching the documents like photo,certificates or other documents related to employee to records management then you can create a radio button to recodrs management screen with help of abap'r and directly attach these documents to respective records management screen.
for linkage it may not feasible or much critical.
Hope this will help.

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

<i>
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.
</i>
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.
