Web Dynpro Java in ESS

Hi!
After studying the release notes of ESS1.2 (ERP6.0, Enh. Pack. 2) I realized that the Web Dynpro Java ESS applications for travel management have been replaced with Web Dynpro ABAP. Does anybody know if this is this to be expected for the other scenarios as well?
Regards,
Thomas

Additionally, I would like to point out that a definite statement of SAP regarding this issue - future development technology for self services - would be very helpful - if not to say desperatly needed - as we have to migrate old ITS-scenarios and now decide a) about sizing of portal servers, b) set up a NWDI, c) send IT-staff to Web Dynpro Java courses a.s.o.

Where Web Dynpro Java version of Adobe Forms are used in ESS MSS

Hi, SDN Expert.
I am working on research the use of Adobe Interactive Forms in the current processes of HCM ESS MSS.
We are on ECC5.0, EP7.0, and ESS MSS SP21. We are in the midst of upgrading to ECC6.0.
Do you know where Web Dynpro Java version of Adobe Forms are used in ESS MSS are used? OR are they all in Web DYnpro ABAP version in ECC6.0?
Thanks,
KC

ESS - Web Dynpro Java or ABAP

Could anyone pls tell me about the Web dynpro part of ESS/MSS. In which language it's written, i mean in Java or ABAP. Pls send me some links for the starter to learn ESS/MSS.
Thanks,

Hi Experts
We have a customer which are currently running a SAP NW Portal (7.0) and are
Currently upgrading to ECC. 6.0 enh.3. They would very much like to use the org.plan iview in the current ESS business package to the portal, based on Java. But we have heard that the ESS business package should be converted to web dynpro for ABAP in the future releases. Does that also applies to the current org.plan Iview?
Should we advise the customer to wait until the business package is available in Web Dynpro for ABAP, or will the org. plan Iview stay in Java?
Thank you for taking your time..
Regards CC

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.

Enhancements / Modifications in Web Dynpro Java

Hi, all!
I' ve a more general question: Are there any enhancement concepts for Web Dynpro Java available or at least planned that would give developers the same comfort and possibilities ABAP programmers have?
I mean, will there ever be an Enhancement Framework like in ABAP - modification free enhancements via BADIs or customer exits?
Think of one of SAPs WDJ flagship - the ESS/MSS. If you want to change anything within, you have no other possibility but to modify the sources. Considering this - together with the weak possibilities of backend access via JCo - I give the WDJ not a chance to stand the challenge of WD4A.
Regards,
Thomas

Hi!
I' m just going through the hep-pages, but what I can definitly say by now is that there' s no enhancement-concept in sight. This matter is getting kind of really embarrassing and leaves the question open: What the heck should an SAP customer persuade to focus on Java Development? No enhancements, no direct data access, no easy debugging possibilities like in ABAP.
I' ve started with WDJ, but digging deeper into WD4A I' m getting more and more convinced that the whole Java thing was just something like a playground field for the development of the programming model and is now getting more and more obsolete with the rising of WD4A.
Correct me, if I' m wrong, and forgive me, if I' m flaming, but when I started with Java development in SAP enviroment I was quite enthusiastic and didn' t understand resentiments of the ABAP developers against our programming language, but now I' m more and more joining their opinion.
Regards,
Thomas
PS: I' ve - by the way - done the SAP Java Certification and am already regretting it.

Adding a field in Web dynpro java in Travel Request application

Hi All,
How to add a field in Web dynpro java in Travel Request application or can we copy the Web dynpro java application to Web dynpro ABAP and add a field. Experts, Can you please suggest me step by step in resolving the problem.
Thanks & Regards,
Kumar

Hi Kumar,
First, in order to customise the ESS webdynpro Java iViews you need to be aware that, you are about to change the SAP standard iviews. In order to avoid this you can make a copy of the SAP standard one's and then try to customise the copied one's.
Now, you should have NetWeaver Development Infrastructure(NWDI) installed. Once it is installed you should also install the Netweaver Developer Studio (NWDS) on your computer.
Once you have these two installed, you should deploy the ESS Business Package onto the NWDI by creating tracks. There is a cookbook available on SAP Service Marketplace for configuring NWDI for ESS.
Once you have all the above mentioned tools, have a look at the following blog which clearly explains about the procedure of customising ESS iviews.
/people/vinoth.murugaiyan/blog/2007/08/24/essmss-customization-150-make-it-simple
Also check the following Wiki, this might be useful!
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/wiki?path=/display/erphcm/employee%252bself%252bservice
I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any issues.

Web Dynpro Java UI Customization from Portal Using CTRL+Right Click in Prev

Hi Team,
I am able to hide some Web Dynpro UI elements from Portal Content Administration >> Web Dynpro iView >> Preview and by Pressing CTRL+RIGHT CLICK.
Here I need to understand the concept like how things work in this case. If we hide some UI in Web Dynpro Java iView customization will there not be any RFC/BAPI calls associated with that particular UI
For Example: Web Dynpro iView is made up of CompA and CompB and I am going to hide the UI associated with CompA. When I invoke the application will there not be any activity like invoking CompA calling associated RFC/BAPI etc related to CompA
Please help me in understand the concepts and performance implications on this.
Regards
Sudhir

Hi Sudhir
You are quite right to raise this concern
If you start hiding elements you may find a change to functionality
For example - in ESS - if you hide a field that is set to mandatory in the back-end ECC when the user
goes to edit the screen they will not see the field and not maintain the field but they will get an error
"fill in all required fields" - which will completely confuse them as they will have filled in all displayed fields
Also if you hide one field in ESS that is required to populate another field this too many causes inconsistencies or errors
Ideal UI elements to hide are those that have been set to unsued (in the case of ESS in the back-end) and have no dependancies to other fields - however there is no complete list - you must test each scenario to your satisfaction
Best wishes
Stuart

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 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?

Access Web Dynpro Java application through direct URL

Hi Guys,
we have a requirement that there is a link in web dynpro abap screen, click on it will open a new ie window running web dynpro java application, so what i did is i have given direct url link for that web dynpro java application:
as this:
https://servername:50001/webdynpro/dispatcher/sap.com/ess~lea/TeamView
but after i clicked on this url, it pop up 1 window, after i entered id & passoword, it is showing this wd java appl, but there is 1 grey image on top of the view & "welcome xxxx"; below that is the actual view from wd java.
the layout is :
grey image----
welcome xxxxxxxx
Teamview
actual ivew
how to remove the grey image & the "welcome xxx"? it looks like masthead but we dun need it.
thanks

Hi Feng,
Actually what you are seeing using the application URL and after giving the credentials on Portal is a portal screen which carries the theme as well. Therefore, you will be able to see the masthead with header and Portal User Name. So, use the URL generated by preview of a web dynpro iView in your component to avoid the masthead.

Web Dynpro Java code changes

Hi,
I need to put some validations in web dynpro java page which is "employee address page". I checked the BADI's but no badi exists which serve my purpsoe.
Now I want to make the code change in web dynpro java. Pls answer the followng questions.
1- I have installed NWDS on my local machine. Do i need to install NWDI also?
2- How to import and export the required page and from where?
3- How to modify the standard code, I mean in ECC we have enhancement and modification concept.
Thanks,

NWDI is a part of NWDS, So you would need both as mentioend
NWDI - Netweaver Development Infrastructure is an SAP sytem for java development & change management. It's a repository for java code and change management system.
NWDS is a developer tool to build applications similar to Eclipse. NWDS uses NWDI to check-in & check-out java code and move java changes to SAP runtime systems (like portal etc).
Read the basics of NWDI and its utility in the below help document
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwce72/helpdata/en/48/bc23b1a70a0611e10000000a42189b/frameset.htm

Logical Destinations in Web Dynpro Java

Hi!
Is it possible to access logical HTTP destinations maintained in SAP NetWeaver Administrator via Configuration Management -> Security ->Destinations in Web Dynpro Java source-code.
I would like to use such a destination to configure an URL target for a IWDFrame UI element.
Thank you very much in advance!
Regards,
Thomas

I found out that there is a [Destination Service API|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwce711/helpdata/en/8b/8e7dac1e661d44bf2a676fd3948cc6/content.htm] for this purpose. Unfortunatly I am still not able to provide the required components security.class and tc/sec/destinations/interface to the web dynpro component. Maintaining them via Project Properties -> Web Dynpro is not allowed any more, and I couldn't find them in the DC perspective to add them as DC dependency.
Has anybody got an idea where these two libraries have gone?
Regards,
Thomas
PS: The 7.0 procedure, which can be found in various posts, doesn't seem to work any more for CE 711.

Date Column not getting sorted in a table in web Dynpro Java

Hi All,
I am facing an issue while sorting the date column in a table in my web dynpro java application.
When the date is displayed in the sql format in tha table, I am able to sort the date column successfully but when we convert the date field from sql format to util format in our table and then sort it does not work.
Kindly let us know the steps to be followed in this case to sort the date column of a table in Simple Date format as we do not want date in the sql format to be displayed.
Thanks & Regards,
Anurag

Hi,
You might want to check whether both your browser's language settings are identical. The browser language could also determine the date format.
As a workaround, you could add an extra attribute to your context, and set the calculated property to 'true'.
In your table, add a new column and bind to this new attribute, and hide your original date column
If you sort using the date column that's hidden now, you could use the calculated field to fixed-format your date the way you prefer (by using the SimpleDateFormatter class for instance)
Cheers,
Robin

How to create a user in UME Database using web dynpro java custom application

Can you please suggest me how to create a user in UME Database using web dynpro java custom application.
My Requirement is user can register his/her user id in SAP Portal 7.3 UME database.
Please suggest me.
Thanks and Regards,
Amit

Hi Amit,
Generated Documentation (Untitled)
This is what you're looking for, there's no real cook-book -- though Amey mentioned there might be some material on SDN, perhaps some tutorials.
You should be looking into com.sap.security.api.IUserFactory, methods newUser(String) which gives you and IUserMaint and commitUser(IUserMaint, IUserAccount) -- IUserAccount can be obtained using com.sap.security.api.IUserAccountFactory, method newUserAccount(String)
Hope it helps,
