BSP / Web-Dynpro (Java / Abap) what to use in this case ?

Hi all,
i have some questions about all this BSP/Web-Dynpro stuff. We have an application (for health care written in Visual Studio) out there at our customers. Some of these customers are using SAP as their backend system. So we've writte some backend functionality (a cash processing, additional reports, a special invoice system etc.etc.) in Abap and Abap-Objects. Actually we are planing a new release for this backend stuff which is using the normal SAP Gui.
Maybe we plan for the next release to convert our app to a Web based app and we discuss what SAP technology we should use for that.
Here are my questions :
- When and why should we use Web-Dynpro (Java) ?
- Can't we use BSP ?
- Is there any future for BSP ?
- When will Web-Dynpro for ABAP be released (actually we are not a Java Shop so Abap is prefered)?
Hope someone can answer my question.
Greetings
Henning

If you don't mind, I am going to terminate discussion of Web Dynpro ABAP here. It is not that I want to, but we are in a difficult position with this development, and can not really discuss it too much.
But, let me first make a few (last) comments:
(*) BSP is available since WebAS 610 (which is now nearly at the end of its lifetime). WebAS 620 is the main platform out there, with NW04 (WebAS 640) now shipping, and the next product is inevitably coming. If you keep in mind that SAP supports each release at least 7 years, and we will be shipping BSP in an upcoming release, you can see that with BSP you are not going to left stranded for many years to come.
(*) Web Dynpro Java is out and shipping. A very nice development environment. You can build nice things with it.
(*) Web Dynpro ABAP: it will become a very nice product as well. We should know :). But, it will definitely not ship on NW04 platform. Which unfortunately means the next great NW shipment (both naming and date is not available).
From our experience, most people seem to make their decisions based on the available Java versus ABAP skills in the shop. However, the other factor to look at is also "pixel perfect" rendering. Only with BSP can you influence the rendering. Web Dynpro is more a development platform for business applications, and as such they must conform to the designated model/concepts, etc.

Accessing a R/3 Workflow workitem directly using Web Dynpro Java/ABAP

Hi,
I have a requirement for which I am not sure what will be the correct forum to post. But I guess it involves Portal / Web Dynpro so I started from here.
You can guide me to correct path as we move forward.
Current Scenario:-
There is a work-flow prepared in SAP R/3 system which triggers a mail to user with a link to Portal UWL. In UWL, user may select the task and click on it to execute.
Scenario to be developed:-
Instead of link in email to UWL, link should directly navigate to work-item in Work-flow.
Any idea how this can be done?
Thanks and regards,
Amey Mogare

I could make use of a standard SAP Transaction iView.
Location in portal catalogue:-
Content Provided by sap --> End User Content --> Standard Portal Users --> iviews --> com.sap.nw.bc.uwl.iviews --> uwl launch sap transaction
Here is the example:-
http://<ServerHostPort>/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtmode/preview/prtroot/pcd!3aportal_content!2fcom.sap.pct!2fevery_user!2fgeneral!2fiViews!2fcom.sap.netweaver.bc.uwl.iviews!2fcom.sap.netweaver.bc.uwl.uwlSapLaunch?System=<system>&TCode=SWNWIEX&AutoStart=true&DynamicParameter=p_action%3DEXECUTE%26p_wi_id%3D<workitemID>

Web Dynpro for ABAP and Floor Plan Manager

Hi.
How can I integrate an ABAP Web Dynpro application in the Java Web Dynpro based Floor Plan Manager (FPM) framework? I'm thinking of the "General Information" page in the MSS Business Package (com.sap.pct.erp.mss.general_information), where the manager use the Employee Search iView com.sap.pct.erp.mss.generalinfo_employeesearch based on the Java Web Dynpro application sap.com/mss~eepro.GeneralInformation to select individual employees.

Hi,
See this link:

How to configure SSO for web dynpro ABAP (not web dynpro Java)

Hi Experts,
 I am testing SSO in IDES for web dynpro ABAP (Not for web dynpro Java / not for portal). When I am entering url of web dynpro application in web browser like internet explorer, then it should ask for user id and password first time, after login whenever user would access that url, it must not ask for user ID and password (url would be access web browser in mobile). For this I select to configure single sign-on for web dynpro ABAP. I have done below works:
1). I have created a web dynpro application having url: http://susws076.sap.swk:<port>/sap/bc/webdynpro/sap/zadb_hello_world2
2). I run TCode SICF and access service node to "Zadb_hello_world2". Double click on it, hit change. pressed "logon data" tab, select "Alternative logon
 procedure"
 Then deleted all logon procedure other than "SSO Authentication" and saved.
3). Go to "STRUST" and create certificate, choosed "Environment==> Logon Ticket" fill the required parameters and execute. It is OK (no red traffic
 signal).
4). Execute TCode "RZ10" to change profile parameter, insert new parameter (indicated by red arrow)
After all this settings I opened a browser enter above URL and hit enter but there is an error
There is no login page. It directly showed this error page. No cookies is saving.
Can anyone tell me what all the settings/configuration other than this I have to do. And is there any wrong setting done by me?
How to set the for single sign-on?
Thanks in Advance

Web Dynpro Java to Web Dynpro ABAP

Hi all,
I am a web dynpro java developer with more than 3 years of portal development experience.
I am now put into a project with web dynpro ABAP(ESS/MSS customization).
Would like to know whether I should start concentrating more on ABAP or SAP HR?
I dont have any ABAP programming exp except that attended a training few years back.
And on SAP HR,dont have much exp except that have some knowledge on ESS customization in dynpro java.
Please let me know where I should start to get myself refreshed before starting my work.
Any advice/docs are invited.
Also,please let me know whether there is any NWDI required for ESS/MSS customization in webdynpro ABAP.
Thanks
Meena

Hi Meena,
As you have good experience of Web Dynpro JAVA.
I think you just need to comcentrate on ABAP skills.
You need not concentrate on SAP HR as ur work is technical your functional guys will take care of HR module and will help you.
For starting i would suggest you to just go through the basics of ABAP like Work areas , internal tables etc.
Then start doing some WD ABAP hands on.
My scenario is similar.
I am a portal and WD JAVA person and this is my first WD ABAP assignment.
I followed the above approach.
You will find many concepts similar to WD JAVA as this is just the ABAP flavour of Web Dynpro.
The below link will help you a lot
[WD ABAP HELP|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/43/1f6442a3d9e72ce10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm]
I hope it helps.

Created in Web dynpro Java or Web dynpro ABAP

hi all,
I have a web application running. Its UI is created either in web dynpro java or web dynpro ABAP. Is there any way by which we can find out that in which form of UI technology is it created; in web dynrpo java or web dynpro ABAP ?

Hi,
I am really not sure if this is recommended..
Try some negative testing on the application. If the application crashes, the trace of the error occured will tell you what kind of development has been adopted for the Web Dynpro application.
Another hint can be the port number in the Application URL. If it is not 50xxx, and is somewht like 8xxx, it is surely Web Dynpro for ABAP.

Web Dynpro JAVA VS. Web Dynpro ABAP

Hi,
I'm interested in advantages and disadvantages of WD JAVA & WD ABAP. Could anybody give me some "detailed" information about it?
We need any information you can give us.
regards,
Sharam

Hi,
Web Dynpro for ABAP:
Web Dynpro for ABAP or 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).
The use of declarative and graphical tools significantly reduces the implementation effort
1) Web Dynpro supports a structured design process
2) Strict separation between layout and business data
3) Reuse and better maintainability by using components
4) Automatic operation of the Web Dynpro application using the keyboard
5) User interface accessibility is supported
6) Full integration in the reliable ABAP development environment
for more see:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/77/3545415ea6f523e10000000a155106/frameset.htm
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.
for more see:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/15/0d4f21c17c8044af4868130e9fea07/content.htm
The concept of Web Dynpro ABAP is identical with Web Dynpro Java and offers more or less the same functions
hope it helps

Web Dynpro Java timesheet to Web Dynpro ABAP timesheet what changes needs to be done from EP side

Hi All,
We are moving Web Dynpro Java timesheet to Web Dynpro ABAP timesheet.
what changes needs to be done from EP side?
I have made Web Dynpro ABAP iView calling Web Dynpro ABAP timesheet and linked it with page.
But It is showing an error 'Web Dynpro Application CATDATARECORD does not exist'.
Please suggest what other changes needs to be done.

Hi Anurag,
I have added new Web Dynpro ABAP iView to the same page in which Web Dynpro JAVA iview was added and made ABAP iview visible.
And this page is already assigned to role.
How should I link this ABAP iview so that it get replace by the Web Dynpro JAVA iview.
And the application name (CATDATARECORD) is correct and Web Dynpro JAVA is using the same application.
But now we want new time timesheet for that what changes needs to be done?
Please suggest.

Moving from Web Dynpro Java timesheet to Web Dynpro ABAP timesheet

Hi
We are in the process of moving from Web Dynpro Java ESS timesheet to Web Dynpro ABAP ESS timesheet. When using Web Dynpro Java ESS timesheet it is possible to enter time using a daily or weekly view.
When using the Web Dynpro version and ensuring the period type is set to weekly view for the data entry profile it is only possible to enter time on the weekly view, the tab for the daily view is no longer available.
Still using the Web Dynpro version and changing the period type to daily view I can enter time using the daily view and the weekly tab also becomes available, but the weekly tab is read only.
Do you know if it is possible to make daily and weekly timesheet entry for one data entry profile.
Thanks
Mark

Yes you can have only one view ie weekly or daily as per your CATS profile in CAC1.
but of course you can select multiple profiles
Configuration
The application configuration HRESS_AC_CATS_1 is provided by default and allows you to provide default values for the application parameters. It also allows you to specify the layout and appearance of the application.
The following application parameters are provided:
HIDE_CLOCK_TIMES_IN_WEEKLY
Hides the clock times in the weekly view.
MULTIPLE_PROFILE
Enables the selection of multiple data entry profiles from the dropdown list

Web Dynpro ABAP == Web Dynpro Java

Hi Gurus,
I've written a Web Dynpro Abap Application to maintain CRM Opportunities, working with Transaction-ID and everything (read&write) works fine.
Now, I'd like to write the same Application in Web Dynpro Java.
I'm quite new in WDJ and thus would like to have some good Howtos & Guides (using the NWDI, CMS, CBS & DTR on a remote J2EE Engine) - e.g. how do I get information out of FMs I used in Abap, like CRM_ORDERADM_H_READ_OB when writing code in Java?
Thanks in Advice,
Farid
(help will always be rewarded)

Hi,
I've deleted the model, restarted the j2ee engine, created a new model in a new package, importet Z_R_CRM_ORDER_SAVE an get the following message:

Web Dynpro ABAP replaces Web Dynpro Java

Hi, all!
The release notes for ESS 1.2 (ERP6.0, Enh.Pack. 2) say that all WDJ applications within travel management have been replaced with WDA. Does anybody know if this reflects a general strategy of SAP - drawing back from WDJ, replacing existing Java-apps with ABAP and developing new scenarios in WDA?
It would be important to get a definite statement on this issue as we are now implementing ESS on portal basis and have to decide wheater to discard the old ITS-scenarios and modify the new Java-based Web Dynpros or keep the old ITS-services with interal ITS and wait for the WDA applications to arise.
Any hints are more than appreciated!
Regards,
Thomas

Hi all,
to stop the discussions please have a look at the identical thread in the Web Dynpro Java forum:
Web Dynpro Java replaced by Web Dynpro ABAP?
