Webdynpro abap + Themes

Hi folks,
i'm making a thema with portal theme editor, now i want to pass it to a standalone WD Abap application wie sap-cssurl= .... but where does this theme resides,which is about the correct url path.
kind regards,
oliver

Hi Oliver!
Try it with putting the theme files within the mime repository of or better copy an already existing theme
and change only the files you want to change within:
sap/public/bc/ur/nw5/
The parameter to call the theme is:
sap-ep-themeroot=http://server:port/sap/public/bc/ur/nw5/themes/your_theme_name
Hope this helps?
Greetings,
Frank

E-Recruiting EHP4 WebDynpro Abap theme theme_url

Hallo there,
as I read in other threads I copied the standard theme to a custom theme and set the parameter theme_url in spro to my custom theme path.
But it won't work directly. If I'm doing URL-Escaping sap-theme = <custom-path> it works fine, but I want it directly with the path as I've done it before in ehp1 and the bspthemeroot.
Can anyone help me?
Thx will be regarded

Hello Holger,
unfortunately for web dynpro there is currently no similar solution for globally setting the style as it was in bsp with the themeroot table.
The SPRO customizing for setting the theme link you found just effects "indirect called" web dynpro applications. If you link an e-recruiting web dynpro application to your company career page you have to add the url parameter mentioned in a post above otherwise you will always get the standard theme. If this application calls another one it uses the customized theme by automatically including it in the called url. So usually you include the links for startpage and unregistered search on your webpage where you have to add the theme parameter in the link. When these applications start the application wizard they take the theme from customizing.
When it comes to web dynpro for recruitiers, admins and managers with EhP4, everything runs within portal where you usually use the portal style handling which hands down the general portal style to all applications for the consistent look and feel.

WebDynpro ABAP applicaiton theme editing using NWDS

Dear SDNs,
Can we edit WebDynpro ABAP themes using NWDS? or do i need to install Elcipse again. If it is possible using NWDS, what are the prerequisites. Where can i get Theme editior plugin to NWDS and guide me on how to add.
I have already a knowledge in WebDynpor java, but i never customized portal themes for WebDynpor Java also.
Your inputs will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

Portal Theme in Webdynpro ABAP

Hi Experts,
I want my portal theme to get applied to the webdynpro abap application.But WDA application is not adapting the portal theme.
This is the version of the theme's style sheet in portal=7.1.3.0.1;ur=7.1.3.0.1;7.1.3.0.0(Major version.minor version.SP.patch.generation run)
The version of Webdynpro abap theme is 7.11.3.2.0.
Portal Version is NetWeaver 7.0 Ehp1
and SAP Basis Version is 701 and level 5.
Is there version incompatibility?
How can I solve this.
Thanks and Regards
M.Karthiheyan.

Hi M.Karthiheyan,
Please follow below steps to apply Portal theme in Webdynpro ABAP.
1. Go to transaction SE80 and navigate to the MIME Repository
2. Create a folder in the MIME repository that will contain all the custom theme files. Make sure the folder is created in following directory /SAP/PUBLIC/BC/UR/<theme_name>
3. Go to the Repository browser in SE80 and select u201CProgramsu201D from the drop down list.
4. Enter BSP_UPDATE_MIMEREPOS in the input field and hit Enter
5. Execute the program and enter the MIME repository path to the folder that is to contain the custom theme. Our custom theme is located in MIME path /SAP/PUBLIC/BC/UR/<Theme Name>
6. Execute the program and select root folder that contains all the custom theme files. The custom theme can be directly pulled down from the file server on portal or can be exported from Portal Theme Editor and imported into Eclipse Theme Editor in order to generate the necessary css files. We only need the root folder that contains the actual css files and images. The upload process might take a while depending on the size.
7. Once the upload is complete, go back to the MIME Repository and check if the files were uploaded.
8. To specify a theme at the global level you can execute WebDynpro component WD_GLOBAL_SETTING. Maintain parameter u2018Stylesheet URIu2019 with the MIME Repository path of the custom theme (i.e. /SAP/PUBLIC/BC/UR/<custom_theme>).
9. Enter the path under "Stylesheet URI:" and select the check box which says "Force use of External Stylesheet".
Thanks.

WebDynPro ABAP iView not picking Portal Theme stylesheet

Hi,
We are facing issues in integrating the WebDynPro ABAP application in Portal . The WebDynPro ABAP iView is not picking the portal theme. It is picking its actual color.
We are in EP 6 SP 14.
Can anyone let me know what can be the reasons.
Best Regards
Sid

Hello,
for the web dynpro for abap application you can create a application configuration. To create the configuration
right click on the application -> create/Change Configuration -> and once you create the configuration, it will open up in browser and you can see 2 tabs structure and parameters
In parameters tab you will find an option Force Use of External StyleSheet check the box and save the configuration. Once done with this process.
Go to the iView Properties of the applications and set the application configuration name and it would take the Portal Theme.
hope this helps.

WebDynpro ABAP Pop-Ups don't pick up the theme

Hi everyone,
I've developed a WebDynpro ABAP component that makes use of a Freely Programmed Input Help.
This input help is shown in a pop-up which doesn't inherit the portal theme. Actually it inherits only parts of it and not the whole look and feel (for instance labels are rendered fine but page background is the standard blue colour).
Unfortunately I cannot use the parameter:
WDFORCEEXTERNALSTYLESHEET=X&sap-cssurl=
because I have no control on the window (free style Input Value Help Windows are opened automatically by the framework and I parameters can't be added to the URL).
Any ideas?
Thank you.

Hi,
Refer Portal Theme in Webdynpro ABAP
This might give you some idea.

Apply custom themes to WebDynpro ABAP application in Portal

Hi,
We have just upgraded the E-Recruitment to EHP4. We have two instances of ECC in which one acts as HR instance and the other one for E-Recruitmet. We have created custom themes for portal and need to apply the same for the WebDynpro ABAP applications for E-REcruitment. I have downloaded the theme and from portal and uploaded the same in MIME folder using SE80 transaction. I have also added the parameter sap-cssurl=/sap/public/themes/<my custom theme folder name>.
Also tried giving the url in application parameter as
SAP-EP-THEMEROOT=http://<hostname>/irj/portalapps/com.sap.portal.design.portaldesigndata/themes/portal/customer/<custom theme>
Is there any other way to apply themes for WD ABAP applications. I dont want to customize the standard applications and just want to apply the themes.
Any suggession on this is highly appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Vivek.

Position a UI element or container on a specific position in webdynpro ABAP

Hi All,
How can we positioned different UI elements on a specific location?. I mean whenever we drag and drop them on a view they seem to take their place automatically. Is there a way to give them a shape ( vertical/horizontal ) & position explicitly . Ill appreciate a quick reply from you people.
Regards,
Laeeq.

Hi Laeeq,
There is no way to absolute position something in Webdynpro ABAP (at least not that I've found), but there are some ways you can get things relatively in the way you want them. Try looking at the samples (SALV_WD_DEMO_TABLE*) and you'll see how they use a combination of transparent containers, groups, and the matrix layout to get things into position.
It does not allow for very fine grained control, but you should be able to achieve the look you are going for.

How to insert the image or logo into the table as a field in webdynpro abap

Hi Friends,
Please tell me how to insert the image or logo into the table as a field in webdynpro abap.........

Hi Alagappan ,
In your view layout you take table UI element and then you bind it with some context nodes.
The attributes of your nodes comes as a field.
Now in these fields you can set various properties and image is one of them.
Go to ->
1. View Layout -> Right Click on ROOTUIELEMENTCONTAINER -> INSERT ELEMENT -> TABLE
2. Right click on table -> Create Binding.
Here you have to bind it with the appropriate context node.
You will get two properties here
a- Standard Cell Editor :- ( make it image )
b- Standard properties :- ( If required set image properties ).
3. If you want put image from out side then import it as a mime object and set the source of your table field ( used as a image )
also have a look :-

Can I use logical databases in a WebDynpro ABAP program?

can I use logical databases in a WebDynpro ABAP program?
I need to build a WDA screen that is similar to the SAPDBPNP selection screen (user can find the personnel number based on several criteria, such as last_name/first_name of the employee). So it seems that the existing logical databases have already many nice features already built (like the selection screens, the logic behind the screens etc). So I was wondering if/how I can use them in my WDA application.

Hello, Tiberiu.
You cannot use LDB directly within your WDA programa. BUT, you can fetch results from this LDB by using FM LDB_PROCESS. This function module can be called anytime from any kind of ABAP program. But you will still have to create the screen, as it only processes data, not screens.

Webdynpro ABAP/Portal. Plugin HTTP connection issue on WaitingEventQueue.js

Hello,
We are experiencing a strange Portal Behavior with our Webdynpros. Our portal contains several iViews including some Webdynpro (ABAP) and some reporting transaction calls that use SAPgui for HTML.
When portal is called for the first time and a user logs in, two connections of type RFC can be seen for that user in SM04 in our ERP system. All iViews work as expected. For example, calling the Time Management webdynpro closes one of the RFC connections and starts a new Pluguin HTTP connection. We can go back and forth between the welcome page and this Webdynpro with no issues.
If we then select one of the reporting transaction codes, the portal launches the SAPGUI for HTML. Report retrieves and shows data, and then we close using the "Exit" button provided by the sapgui for HTML
Next we try again to launch any webdynpro (abap), but SM04 shows that the new Plugin HTTP session gets stuck and spinning mid way, and will stay there. Refreshing the Portal screen with F8, navigating back and forth, logging off and on again has no effect. The webdynpros will not launch again. Only webdynpros are affected, any of the reporting transactions can be called successfully over and over.
We have figured that deleting Temporary Internet files (we are using IE 7), and in particular by just deleting the WaitingEventQueue.js?XXXXXXXXXXX file, the system will break away from the spin loop and show the webdynpro again, but eventually it will get stuck again, and asking the users to delete their Temporary Internet Files every 5 minutes is not a workable solution
I have reviewed the contents of this javascript file at different points during the test, and the contents do not change, so deleting the file and the recreate process must be resetting somehow the queue and allowing for a new correct communication.
Is there a way to properly reset this event queue (for example from ABAP, when the webdynpros are reloaded) in order to avoid the spin loop?
Thanks for any help!
Andres

Well, we got the issue resolved, so here is what we did, in case anybody is interested:
Tested again our portal with multiple versions of Internet Explorer, in particular IE8 and IE6, the Webdynpro behavior was normal (no timeouts or locks). It even worked when we installed IE7 in a brand new machine and tried our portal.
So we started suspecting if maybe the particular IE7 that we install internally (with specific settings and policies) may be the culprit. We took a desktop that was producing the timeouts and used the following options in IE7:
Tools->Internet Options->Advanced(tab)-Reset Internet Explorer settings
and, voila! the next time we ran there, the portal did not create any timeouts.
We even asked our desktop support team to uninstall and reinstall IE7 in the same machine after we did the reset, and even after the re-install that the timeout problems did not re-appear.
One of the things that the "reset" option does is delete the Add-ons used by IE.
So as a last test, we took a machine that was presenting the problem and went to the Internet Options to disable all the add-ons (in the Programs Tab). The error disappeared.
And even after enabling back all the add-ons, the error would not return.
Conclusion:
Without being able to pinpoint the specific add-on (or combination) that causes the problem, we suspect that some of them conflicted, causing IE7 to behave abnormally. Disabling them all, restarting Internet Explorer, and enabling them again, makes the WaitingEventQueue.js work as it should

WebDynPro ABAP in adobe flex client

Hi,
I have some WebDynPro ABAP applications.
I want to run them in adobe flex client as rendering medium.
Is it possible.

> Good to know. That kinda sounds as if the webdynpro app itself will not have to be modified at all. Does this apply to CE webdynpro only or will be NW7.0 webdynpro apps supported the same way? How's the xBCML code generated? Will the CE be an requirement?
That is correct - the apps do not have to be modified in any way. Web Dynpro was designed years ago with this kind of future in mind. The application rendering is separated in layers. One of those layers is the UI rendering itself. It was strickly designed so that we could "plug-in" new rendering engines over time.
So what technically happens is nice bit of OO magic. There are multiple implementations of each UI elment rendering class, but they all have the same interface. That way the rendering engine can determine what kind of client it is building the UI for at runtime and substitute a different rendering engine by calling the correct subclass. The first rendering engine that SAP supplied for Web Dynpro is what is called the Unified Renderer. This is what produces the HTML and JavaScript UI that we run today in the browser. In NW 7.0 EnhP1 ABAP and NW 7.1 CE EnhP1 we have actually rewritten this Unified Renderer completely - improving performance and adding in more AJAX functionality. So this same plug-in rendering technology can be used to seemlessly overhaul the HTML renderer as well.
With this plug-in rendering technology we were able to build an XML based renderer. This XML formatted output is what we call xBCML (Extensible Business Client Markup Language). Actually if you compare the two rendering engines it is much easier to build an XML description of the UI then it is to build HTML/JavaScript. This nice, neutral XML description of the UI elements and their properties can then be sent to the client machine over HTTP/HTTPS and interpreted by different technologies. We use this same XML format within a Flex, Silverlight, and .Net Client Renderer. This is how SAP has built the Flex Client, Flash Islands, Silverlight Islands, and the NetWeaver Business Client Smart Client Renderer.
On the ABAP side of the house for Web Dynpro we are bringing all of this new rendering technology to the 7.0 release via Enhancement Packages. The dependency of the Business Suite to run on top of NetWeaver 7.0 is a pretty much a driving factor to make sure that new Web Dynpro technology for ABAP must make it into the 7.0 code line to be effective.
The Java side is less clear. We have really focused future enhancements to Java Web Dynpro within the 7.1 CE codeline. Our current plans are to deliver this functionality to WD Java via CE (some of it is already there in CE 7.1 and some will come later with CE 7.1 EnhP1). I would be a little suprised to see a backport effort to 7.0 Java given the focus on CE. I realize that this leaves ESS/MSS in a strange location - so if there was customer demand around that application it might be the only thing to lead to a selective backport - but I certainly can't confirm that this will happen.

Retreival of Dynamic Table Datas from Adobe to WebDynpro- ABAP

Dear Friends,
I have Developed an application in Webdynpro-ABAP, where i have integrated Adobe form in the webdynpro.
In the adobe form, dynamic table is there where we can add and delete the rows at runtime.
I am trying to retreive the table datas at runtime from the adobe.
I can able to retreive only the first record from the table, even if the table contain more than one rows.
As per the below code i have retreived the count, where it is showing the count as 1.
using the method get_static_attributes_table i am trying to fetch all the records, but i can able to retreive only the first record.
lo_nd_zsm_fm_transport_tra = wd_context->get_child_node( name = wd_this->wdctx_zsm_fm_transport_tra ).
lo_nd_tr_details_i = lo_nd_zsm_fm_transport_tra->get_child_node( name = wd_this->wdctx_tr_details_i ).
count = lo_nd_tr_details_i->GET_ELEMENT_COUNT( ).
elems_bank_table = lo_nd_tr_details_i->get_elements( ).
lo_nd_tr_details_i->get_static_attributes_table(
importing
    table = ls_tr_details_i ).
Even Cardinality i have maintained as 1.N for the node.
Kindly provide me the solution.

Hi, I have solution for read data from dynamic table and add these added row to WD4A context (and then save them to DB) (in ONACTIONPROCESS_SUBMIT event):
DATA: l_fp TYPE REF TO if_fp.
l_fp = cl_fp=>get_reference( ).
DATA: l_pdfobj TYPE REF TO if_fp_pdf_object.
l_pdfobj = l_fp->create_pdf_object( ).
l_pdfobj->set_document( pdfdata = lv_pdfsource ).
l_pdfobj->set_extractdata( ).
l_pdfobj->execute( ).
DATA: pdf_form_data TYPE xstring.
l_pdfobj->get_data( IMPORTING formdata = pdf_form_data ).
DATA: converter TYPE REF TO cl_abap_conv_in_ce, formxml TYPE string.
Converter = cl_abap_conv_in_ce=>create( input = pdf_form_data ).
Converter->read( IMPORTING data = formxml ).
TYPE-POOLS: ixml.
DATA: l_ixml TYPE REF TO if_ixml.
l_ixml = cl_ixml=>create( ).
DATA: streamfactory TYPE REF TO if_ixml_stream_factory,
istream TYPE REF TO if_ixml_istream.
streamfactory = l_ixml->create_stream_factory( ).
istream = streamfactory->create_istream_string( formxml ).
DATA: document TYPE REF TO if_ixml_document.
Document = l_ixml->create_document( ).
DATA: parser TYPE REF TO if_ixml_parser.
parser = l_ixml->create_parser( stream_factory = streamfactory
                                           istream = istream
                                           document = document ).
Parser->parse( ).
the code above allows you to read xml data from pdf file, then you need only to read xml and adding rows to your context:
data : item type string. DATA: nodechild TYPE REF TO if_ixml_node,
        Childschild TYPE REF TO if_ixml_node.
    data: num_of_children type i,
          x type i,
          y type i,
          num_of_attribute.
node = document->find_from_name('ZAM_PROTSTROJF').
num_of_children = node->num_children( ).
nodechild = node->get_first_child( ).
data: wa_strojdetail type ZAM_PROTSTROJF,
      wa_strojdetail_tab TYPE TABLE OF ZAM_PROTSTROJF.
wa_strojdetail-docnum = ls_zam_protstroj-docnum.
wa_strojdetail-bukrs = 'VVS'.
wa_strojdetail-mandt = sy-mandt.
y = 1.
do Num_of_children times.
       num_of_attribute = nodechild->num_children( ). " Childschild->num_children( )." Getting the number of attributes
       Childschild = nodechild->get_first_child( ).
       wa_strojdetail-itemnum = y.
       x = 1.
       do num_of_attribute times.
          item = Childschild->GET_value( ).
          CASE x.
            WHEN 4.
              wa_strojdetail-anln1 = item.
            WHEN 5.
              wa_strojdetail-anln2 = item.
            WHEN 6.
              wa_strojdetail-bubtr = item.
            WHEN 7.
              wa_strojdetail-belnr = item.
          ENDCASE.
          Childschild = Childschild->get_next( ).
          x = x + 1.
      enddo.
      y = y + 1.
      APPEND wa_strojdetail to wa_strojdetail_tab.
      nodechild = nodechild->get_next( ).
enddo.
This is complete solution for adding rows in interactive forms and working with them in WD4A!
