Use of Web Dynpro ABAP as UI in SAP NetWeaver BPM?

Hello,
Have anybody heard of any plans by SAP to support SAP Web Dynpro ABAP as another option for the UI in SAP NeWeaver BPM?
As SAP now delivers some Web Dynpro ABAP UI:s as part of EHP:s etc it would be good to be able to reuse these in SAP NetWeaver BPM.
All input is welcome.
Thanks for your help and support,
/Markus

i heard it can be expected in 7.3.

Shared memory used in Web Dynpro ABAP

Hi Gurus,
I am using shared memory objects in Web Dynpro ABAP. Everything was working fine until we went live to production. After some research I realized that users are not always able to reach data in shared memory because of different approach of web environment and classic GUI when using more servers. Solution would be to go to database instead of shared memory. However I am still interested if there might be some other way to solve it. Any ideas?

To my understanding writing to the database is the safe option. There are no other ways to solve your problem with Shared memory.

Using Java Web Dynpro iViews to integrate with SAP MDM

Hi,
I have already SAP MDM 5.5 supplied iViews with Enterprise Portal.
These include itemDetail iView, ResultSet iView, PicklistSearch, Hiearchy Search.
Now, I am integrating Java Web Dynpro iViews with SAP MDM.
When adding the fields using object of ResultSetDefinition Class, should we use MDM Table Name or MDM Table Name Code/MDM Field Name or MDM Field Code?
I think we should use the CODE as the name as it does not contains any space while working with Java API.
Regards
Kaushik Banerjee

Hi Kaushik ,
Yes you should use the Field and Table CODE when integrating MDM with any other system using API either Java, Abap or Com api.
Actually this is one of the main use of the code in MDM .In API.
Hope It Helped

Rules Engine using Web Dynpro ABAP

Hi,
Can we build a Rules Engine which works with Web Dynpro-ABAP? Something similar to BRM in CE-7.2.
Thanks,
Prasanna

Do you mean BRM or BRF. BRF is the name of the business rules framework that is integrated in the ABAP engine. BRM is Business Rules Management and a part of NetWeaver CE - running on the Java Stack and a part of SAP NetWeaver BPM (Business Process Management).
Generally if your work is all ABAP based you would use BRF. Here is a small eLearning that shows the usage of BRF within Web Dynpro ABAP.

Web Dynpro for Java:
Web Dynpro is a client-independent programming model of the SAP NetWeaver technology platform for developing user interfaces for professional business applications. It is based on the model view controller paradim which ensures that the business logic is separated from the presentation logic. This architecture is visible in the Web Dynpro perspective of the SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio (NWDS).
Web Dynpro helps you with the development of Web applications by:
1) Ensuring platform-independence with the meta model approach
2) Minimizing the implementation effort through declarative programming
3) Supporting a structured design process by applying the model view controller paradigm
4) Providing reuse and better maintainability by using components
5) Providing graphical support with tools in the Web Dynpro perspective
6) Providing the SAP NetWeaver Java Development Infrastructure (NWDI) which supports team work with different services such as source code versioning and the Central Build Service.

Portal dynamic iView from Web Dynpro ABAP?

I wish to use a "Dynamic iView" from a Web Dynpro ABAP application, but it appears the API is only available in Web Dynpro Java. Can this feature be used from Web Dynpro ABAP, or can this be accomplished in another way?
Scenario: I have two iViews on a page, one Web Dynpro ABAP and another iView whose source I want to change dynamically based on something a user clicks in the Web Dynpro ABAP.
Dynamic iView:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/44/a72c155df77038e10000000a422035/frameset.htm

So you are suggesting the WDA fires an event to a new WDJ that we would need to create that would in turn use the Dynamic iView service mentioned in that help document?

Hello Thomas.
I got some questions for you.
I think you are a great expert on SAP Development Subject.
I saw the webdynpro tutorials that you appended on this board.
When I saw the tutorial there were some persons work with me.
And they were suprised with the beautiful graphics. It's M~uch better than the webdynpro Screens( like colours or Designs) that I use until now.
So. I want to change my webdynpro development enviroment excatly the same thing as the tutorial's one.
And I found there is URLS. That means Unified Rendering Light Speed.
It changes Some of webdynpro's development attributes.
And I also think it can spoils some or all the webdynpro components that existed before I applied URLS.
I have two questions.
one of the questions is this. If I apply URLS on my system, whether the system does get any negative effedcts from the applying.
The other question is this. I have a experience that use NWBC. And the Tutorial's GUI looks similar to NWBC. I want to know the GUI's name and What should I do if I use it on my system.
Component Version - ECC 6.0
Enhencement Package Version 3
Thank you for your concern and reading.
I deeply Appreciate you,

Integration a Web Dynpro ABAP application within one of my EP overview page

Hi Experts,
I've got an issue when integrating a Web Dynpro ABAP application within one of my EP overview pages.
We've implemented PLM using the Web Dynpro ABAP scenario for employees. Now Iu2019m trying to integrate this into the Employee Self-Service overview page. I've got no issue to make the icon and area title appears, but when I click on it I get a blank page with Error 404. However when clicking on the link in the navigation bar (Level 2) then I get the page fine. So it looks like EP is not able to integrate correctly the Web Dynpro ABAP into the overview page in EP. Is there any specific Resource configuration?
One more thing is that if I've implemented the same iView using Resources -> Services -> Sub Areas -> Areas everything works fine, but I receive two navigation Levels (Area Group contains the Area Link and when I click it brings me to Sub Area with the single Service Link) I want to avoid this double clicking, calling the application directly from Area Group -> Area link.
Anyone has ever come across that kind of issue? Has anyone ever integrated a WDA application directly into an overview page?

Hi,
We faced a similar problem with BSPs and had to change the definition of the area link type entry.
I am assuming you have set the area link type to WebDynpro for ABAP and the resource is calling an Iview/page that has the WD ABAP application configured.
To get around the error, change the Area Link type to Calls a Portal page and make sure the resource calls an Iview/Page that has the WD ABAP application configured.

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.

Difference between pdfsource & datasource in adobe forms - web dynpro abap

Friends,
Please let me know the difference between the adobe form attributes pdfsource and datasource, when used in Web Dynpro ABAP. What is the significance of specifying both and the difference between them.
Points will be rewarded for helpful answers.
Thanks.

Hi,
Pdfsource is a attribute defined to read the form. Suppose in an Application you need to read values from fields on the pdf form. In that case you give an attribute as a pdfsource which will contain all the data in XML format. You can read these values and assign to different data node. normally its helpful in reading offline forms.
Datasource is a node containing one or many attributes which stores data at runtime. The fields on the interactive forms are bound to these attributes. When you give a context node as data source to the interactive form then it appears in the designer on the left handside in the data view. From there you can bind the fields on the form to the attributes in the context node.
The difference between both is that a pdfsource is used to read the complete form in XML format with all the fields on it while the data source is used to transfer data from context to the fields on the form. Note that the datasource contains a node with multiple or single attribute and a field on the form can be bound to a single attribute.
I hope it clears all your doubts.
Regards,
Vaibhav Tiwari.

Hi Rahul,
   Welcome to the interesting world of Web Dynpro ABAP !
For Web dynpro ABAP you will require SAP ECC 6.0 onwards and WAS 7.0
is a must. It has very good future propspects as this is best UI technology.
In web dynpro ABAP we follow MVC(Model View Controller) architecture.
In this object oriented ABAP is used to provide background functionality. Here, your ABAP skills can be utilized to the fullest. Programming in web dynpro ABAP is different than conventional ABAP programming. Here we strictly follow MVC architecture in terms of controller interface. Also there are many wizards available so that we can directly pick the code from wizards.
e.g We can call BAPI through a service call in web dynpro application. Thus automatically backgroud code for BAPI execution will be generated.
To start with Web dynpro ABAP you can try following tutorial:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/a282c952-0801-0010-1eb5-87953e036712
You can start with tutorials and all. There are around six tutorials in SDN library.

Portal theme & web dynpro abap popup

Hi all,
I have a Web Dynpro ABAP application inside the SAP Portal, with WDTHEMEROOT & WDFORCEEXTERNALSTYLESHEET parameters typed.
Everything is ok, any UI control that I used in the views is formatted according to the Portal Theme.
But right now, I want to launch a popup for a message. I use methods from if_wd_window_manager, like create_popup_to_confirm or create_window, but the popups are showed in a standard style, not the Portal theme (like the rest of the applicaton).
Anyone knows why??
The same method (create_popup_to_confirm) is used in a WD Java application and gets the Portal theme.
Thanks!
Miguel Angel.

Hi Shanti!
Yes, I did it, but the problem still remains...
The fact is that most of the elements get the portal theme (dropdownbyidx, labels, transparentcontainers, buttons...) but when I call a popup through if_wd_window_manager it appears like the standard look&feel (blue color, etc...). The popups doesn't get the portal theme.
It happens only in WD ABAP, I mean, we have other applications in WD JAVA with the same portal theme & the same popup function, and it works...
The only elements that doesn't get the portal them are the popups!
Thaks!
Miguel Angel.
