When to use webdynpro for developing reports instead of ABAP Editor in R/3

Hello Frends,
I am new to Webdynpro ABAP. I just wanted to know when we should used webdnpro ABAP for developing reports, instead of using ABAP Editor in R/3. If you can give me the details it will be helpful.
Thanks,
Regards.

Hi navnetha,
As mishbah told you , that there is no hard and fast rule for reporting throught webdynpro.It all depends on client requirement .Now if you want to develope alll the reports by using webdynpro without your clients request , then you need to explain the advantages of webdynpro reporting above abap reporting.
for e.g. Webdynpro reports can run on browser, They can be posted on portal, Easy handling and maintenance and reusability.
Other than this i guess if you can show some business profit to the client, then i think every client would like to go for webdynpro reporting.

How to call the RFC from R/3 to SRM, when we use webdynpro abap? (Urgent)

Hello
We use SRM Server 5.5 with classic scenario.
We want to call RFC in R/3 from webdynpro ABAP.
How can we do that?
We are developing the web report using webdynpro abap.
So we need some of R/3 data such like PR(EBAN)and PO(EKKO,EKPO).
When user choose the search parameter, report diplay the Shopping cart, PR and PO data on webdynpro. So we call the R/3 RFC to display the PR, PO data.
But I tired to call the RFC in R/3, We could not call it.

SAP uses META Function modules in SRM to get data from R/3 back-end.
For getting Purchase requistion data, use the function modules ->
META_REQUISITION_CHANGE Change purchase requisition
META_REQUISITION_CREATE Create Requisition
META_REQUISITION_DELETE Delete/close purchase requisition
META_REQUISITION_GETDETAIL Display requisition details
META_REQUISITION_GETITEMS Display requisition items
META_REQUISITION_GETRELINFO Get Releasease Info for requisitions
For getting Purchase order data, use the function modules ->
META_PO_CREATE Create purchase order
META_PO_DELETE Delete reservation
META_PO_GETDETAIL Display purchase order details
META_PO_GETITEMS Display purchase order items
META_PO_GETRELINFO Display purchase order release information
Hope this will definitely help. Do let me know.

Portal using Webdynpro for ABAP

Hi Gurus!
    I am using one portal using 'Webdynpro For ABAP'. It contains Contextual Panel as well as ViewUIContainer. Contextual Panel contains all the reqd options available for user; while ViewUIContainer contains diff views as requested.
   Now, I'm trying to make a copy of that Webdynpro with some other name. What happens is --
Application is not there and when I try to make one - it says
"Interface View Does Not Exists."
Further, when I try to make an Interface View with the new name - it says
"Interface View Does Not Exists."
   Therefore, what I could conclude about the case is -- may be Interface View is default to certain Webdynpro components/interface. Hence, my question is how can I make use of same webdynpro application with some other name. This requirement arises due to the fact that we have to add some more functionalities to that and I dont want to play with the efforts made so far.

When iam using jdownloader for dowload, the firefox did not work at any page, as like there in no internet conexion?

When iam using jdownloader for dowload, the firefox did not work at any page, as like`` there in no internet conexion?``

you need to check whether '''jdownloader''' is compatible with the Firefox version you are using.
-> Tap ALT key or press F10 to show the Menu Bar
-> go to Tools Menu -> Add-ons -> Extension section -> check the Status of '''jdownloader''' extension -> if '''an update''' is available for this add-on then install the update -> Restart Firefox and check again check the compatibility -> if it is '''GREYED with Exclamation mark''' then it is incompatible with Firefox
Try using this extension to force compatibility.

Check and tell if its working.

How to use indesign for developing a magazine

Hi Friends,
i am using Indesign for the past 2 1/2 years. Now i have to use indesign for developing a magazine. But i come across few problems. Pls help me to solve.
1. the page dimension is 210 x 297 mm. i want a bleed area of 5 mm on each side. Then should i have the document size as 215 x 307 mm (for one side). Or is there any way to mark bleed.
2. Is there any scripts, especially to be used in pagination of the magazine.
3. I have placed Auto page number in the master page, but when im placing picture in a page for the full extent, the page number is not visible (as it is in the mater page). Should i manually type the page number there or any other way to do it.
4. Is there any exclusive tutorial to learn to the core about developing a magazine in indesign.
Should i furnish any more details?
Please help me in these problems. Thanks in advance to all.
regards
karthik.r

1. the page dimension is 210 x 297 mm. i want a bleed area of 5 mm on each side. Then should i have the document size as 215 x 307 mm (for one side). Or is there any way to mark bleed.
No you should make your indesign page size the size you want the magazine to be when trimmed. If it's 210 x 297 mm then make the size of your document that size.
When you make a new document you can click the More Options to reveal the bleed setting. Use 5mm for all sides.
Make your document using facing pages, you don't need bleed for the inside edges, as this for the spine. Make sure that all your images, backgrounds etc. go out as far (or beyond) the red line. You don't need to this for things that will not be near the edge of the page.
Set up a "Safe Area" for your images, that will be an area roughly 5 mm from each side where no text or anything will go near the edge of the page. If it goes beyond this area you should consider extending it into the bleed area.
DO NOT PUT TYPE near the edge of the page. Keep it well away, possibly 10 - 15mm.
2. Is there any scripts, especially to be used in pagination of the magazine.
Pagination is usually done by prepress when you send the final pdf. Setup your magazine with the pages flowing in sequential order, e.g., 1 - 100.
Make sure the amount of pages in the magazine is divisible by 4. That is, a 94 page magazine would not do, as that's 23.5. But a 92 page or 96 page would be better because it's dvisible exactly by 4, ideal for printing.
3. I have placed Auto page number in the master page, but when im placing picture in a page for the full extent, the page number is not visible (as it is in the mater page). Should i manually type the page number there or any other way to do it.
If you want page numbers on pages like this, you should think about putting master items on a new layer and sit that layer on top of all the other layers. You should also consider making different pages, based on the current Master Page (making child and parent masters
http://en.allexperts.com/q/Adobe-InDesign-1839/Parent-child-master-pages.htm
http://www.peachpit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=1323251&seqNum=12
http://www.adobepress.com/articles/article.asp?p=1324255
You can google more yourself
But the idea is to make master pages with different coloured folios, like white folios for pages with dark images, as black folios would not show up. But it's up to you. It's best not to manually inser the page numbers.
4. Is there any exclusive tutorial to learn to the core about developing a magazine in indesign.
Three are no hard and fast rules about developing a magazine in InDesign. Follow a logical procession of thought. Start with thumbnails, develop sketches for each content, create content in InDesign, proof it, etc.
There are some pointers here http://www.graphicdesignforum.com/articles/Magazine_layout.htm
You should look into Grids http://www.thegridsystem.org/categories/templates/
http://graphicdesign.about.com/od/layout/a/grid_system.htm
http://desktoppub.about.com/od/grids/Grids_for_Desktop_Publishing.htm

The rest is up to you.

When / why use XML to store data instead of database table ?

Hi All,
I still not use XML much in applications and don't know much about its utilization.
I read here and there about storing data as XML instead of into database tables.
- could any body please tell me when / why use XML to store data instead of database table ?
e.g : store inventory per warehouse in XML format. ?
- What is the other cases or reasons of extracting database records into XML or vice versa ?
- is there any good pdf on this ?
Thank you for your help,
xtanto

It depends entirely what you want to accomplish with the 'XML in the database'. There are basically 3 independent methods: As CLOB, as XMLType views or as native XMLType 'columns'
Each method has advantages and disadvantages, especially in the performance vs purpose tradeoff.
The Oracled Press book "Oracle Database 10g XML & SQL Design, Build, & Manage XML Applications in Java, C, C++, & PL/SQL" is highly recommended for anyone interested in Oracle and XML. http://books.mcgraw-hill.com/getbook.php?isbn=0072229527&template=oraclepress

Hi Suresh,
You can have the MDM JAVA API javadocs from the link
http://help.sap.com/javadocs/MDM/SP06P2/index.html
There you can see a package named com.sap.mdm.examples.The classes in it contains some examples using which you can start understanding the code.
You need to have MDM JAR files for it. And these JAR files to be used at build time can be added to the project thru :-
Right click on project-> properties->Java Build Path - > Add external JARs
At run time you can add them the reference in
Right click on project-> properties->web dynpro references->library reference.

Do we need to be in unicode to use webdynpro for abap in ECC6 ?

Hello,
we study migration to SAPR3 46C SR2 to ECC6.
a question is: Do we need to be in unicode to use webdynpro for abap in ECC6 ?
Our SAPR3 are in non unicode
thanks

The problem, if you backend system is not unicode, can be, that user with the browser accessing the Webdynpro page, can enter data of any codepage (because browser is Unicode), the data will then be stored with a wrong codepage in the system and will be destroyed.
Additionally all successor versions of ERP will be Unicode only.
And on top of that, if you plan to use Java components (such as a portal), the backend must be Unicode (see Note 975768 - Deprecation of Java features with non-Unicode Backend).
