Your experiences with Webdynpro ABAP

Hi there,
please give me an overview how your experiences (positive and negative) are with Webdynpro ABAP??
Here are mine:
Pos:
- fast GUI modelling
- browser = client
Neg:
- runtime
- unflexible controls
- no developer influence on programming modell
  (i dont like filling code snippets)
- No Unddo-Button in IDE
- auto-completion show names which are not member
  of current class/object
Thx for your input.
Regards,
Markus

On 1: Depends on the used client. With server-side rendering you will have some delay for the server roundtrip, smart clients are smarter.
On 2: Changing of fonts/colors has not been exposed via API to enforce consistency. Only themes as a whole should be changed. Remember that the primary purpose of Web Dynpro are business applications like ERP.
Positioning of controls restrictive? What does that mean? You cannot place controls by absolute coordinates (which is most probably not a godd idea for localizable applications) but you get a set of powerful layout managers like MatrixLayout etc.

  • Adobe print forms - Intergration with Webdynpro ABAP

    Hi
    We are working on SAP Adobe print forms with Webdynpro ABAP. We are getting the PDF form's Hexadecimal content as a part of the FPFORMOUTPUT parameter when we execute the FM of the Form.
    I tried to assign that to a context variable and assigned that to the PDFSource of the form and tried to generate the PDF. But is is showing a black page.
    Can you please suggest a way if any to get this done.
    Regards,
    Srikanth.

    You can use the print form directly. I mean the same way as you would use the WD/ online form. Provide the form name, the data source and stuff and the form should work. If that would be an interactive one, you would not be able to change any values if the form is based on DDIC dictionary, but since you want to use the printform, this is not your concern.

  • Digital signature with webdynpro abap

    Hello,
    how I can signature a character string digitial with webdynpro ABAP?
    My first beginning is the call function "SSFS_CALL_CONTROL". But this is only for BSP. It is is sensible, that I create a small BSP - Application and I integrate this BSP - Application in Webdynpo ABAP. But How I integrate this BSP in WD4A?
    The other way
    Give it a call function for webdynpros ABAP to signature?
    Thanks
    Maik

    Hi Maik,
    what is to be signed. Your own document ?
    I assume you have https and you want to sign you own content
    and allow the DOWNLOAD or other similar to get doc to customer.
    See the Function group SSFC/SSFZ for access to a certificate.
    See security docu for load certificates on to the server. (Tran SSO_STRUST)
    You can also create credentials if requried.
    See also function group SSFG.
    Here are functions to create envelopes and sign them
    This the main tool.  You sign a document to show proof of originality.
    You place in envelop to encrypt it.
    Then send the result.
    See function group SSFM for PSE management.
    In general all the secure store and forward Functions all begin with SSF*
    The function you choose probably just adds certificate to BSP connection.
    I havent tried it. Just quickly looked at the code.
    Cheers
    Phil.

  • Your Experience with RSSM / compatibility mode in BW 3.X ?

    Hi Folks,
    we have a dozen of InfoObjects referencing 0costcenter. These Objects are used in several InfoProviders and queries.
    We also have more than 500 authorizations definitions for hierarchies, at the time being defined on 0costcenter.
    This all works fine with RSSM compatibility for referencing Characteristics switched to “on”.
    Now I came across the strong recommendation of SAP (Note 728 077) to switch off all compatibility modes in BW 3.X systems.
    If I understood it correctly, we’ll have to create an authorization object for each referencing InfoObject, which is not the point. Moreover we’ll have to duplicate all our authorization definitions so that every node is defined for every referencing InfoObject. This will result in more than 5,000 authorization definitions! Needless to say, that we’re afraid of maintainability.
    We’re therefore tending to keep compatibility mode switched to “on”, which means to ignore SAP’s recommendation.
    Could you please share your experiences with compatibility mode in 3.X Systems?
    Is there another way to obey the recommendation and not ending up in a bunch of authorization definitions?
    How is this issue solved in BW 7.0?
    Looking forward to your answers.
    Best regards
    Robert

    Hi,
    go to RSSM and give your infoprovider name and check the authrization objects which are present in the infoprovider ...it will have option ticked.
    Basically authorizations are based on company code or sales org.
    give that authorization object in the first option in RSSM and check on which infoobject it is based.
    Also you can give your user id in one of the option in this transaction RSSM and then you can check for that authorization object do you have any values present for the included infoobjects or not.
    You will not have those values entry here in the authorization object for those selections which you are giving during the report run.
    Just change the vales here and give the desired value for which you are running the report.
    Save it.

  • PT 8.52 - Early adopters? What has been your experience with it in Prod?

    After our HR upgrade to HR 9.1 and PT 8.51 in October, 2011, there is desire to turn around and do a Tools only upgrade to PT 8.52 this spring for various reasons (iPad tablet certification, etc). I remember a 2010 OpenWorld presentation where Oracle recommended that the "sweet spot" for go-live of a new Tools version was about 12-13 months after GA. I have found that advice to be sound in the real world as well.
    What is the general vibe of PT 8.52 in Production? What have been your experiences with 8.52? If you are in Production, are you either HR, FSCM or CRM?
    Thanks,
    Scott
    Edited by: Scott O on Mar 3, 2012 9:36 PM
    Edited by: Scott O on Mar 3, 2012 9:48 PM

    Could someone please post or send the upgrade documentation you have followed?.
    Or please, send me an URL to the upgrade documentation.
    It appears that the upgrade documentation might not be complete and/or correct.
    The problem:_
    Your upgrade environment has a psio_dir.dll from the previous/old PT850/PT851 install.
    To validate this check out the size and the date stamp of the file. It will show the year as 2009 and the size as 48KB.
    THE FIX:_
    Bring down your Application Server. Remove all the cache and log files.
    Permanetntly REMOVE (not rename) the psio_dir.ll from *$PS_HOME/\bin\server\winx86\psio_dir.dll* from your PeopleSoft Application Server environment.
    Bring up your Application Server.
    If you are a developer using/doing work using Application Designer, permanently remove <PS_HOME>\bin\client\winx86\psio_dir.dll from your Application Designer machine.
    This should fix your problem.
    thanks,
    Subbu

  • OnyX for Snow Leopard, How has been your experience with it?

    What is OnyX? it's in the apple download page, I know it is a maintenance tool. However I have a few questions about it, it is safe to use? Can it cause system instability? (Cache out X does that), How has been your experience with it?
    I'm asking this just to know if its worth installing in my Mac, because I don't want a tool that says it will increase system performance, and then when you run it, you'll end up with an under performing system giving you a lot of error logs that take hard drive space away.
    Thank You.

    Yes, that was an assumption on my part that the person already knew the admin password. Should have said so to avoid confusion.
    Well, if the person already knows the admin password, then he is an administrator. He can then promote his own account to admin and take over the whole machine.
    Hmm. I don't see how that would work. Once you enter the admin password, you'd be able to do anything OnyX had in its feature set.
    Exactly. I, as an admin user, but who uses a non-admin account for everyday use, could launch OnyX in my non-admin account, enter the admin password, and then use it. Completely secure. A non-admin user who doesn't know the admin user would still be prevented from using OnyX at all. That allows for the same level of security as exists right now, and is how all other system utilities, even ones provided by Apple, work.
    We'll have to agree to disagree there. It's a good safety net for the less computer savvy. Like keeping your kids away from such utilities.
    All I'm asking for is for OnyX to ask for admin credentials when being launched from a non-admin account. Then, if the non-admin user can't enter the admin password, then the program would simply quit. If an administrator is there to authenticate, then the administrator can launch and use it to maintain and/or repair the non-admin account. That is 100% completely as secure as the situation now.
    But the current situation is that it will simply refuse to open at all under a non-admin account, meaning that not even an administrator can use it to repair or maintain a non-admin account. That isn't any additional layer of security. It's quite the contrary; it's preventing an administrator from administering the computer.
    Right now the only workaround to get OnyX to do any maintenance on a non-admin account is to temporarily promote that account to admin. I would argue that that is a heck of a lot less secure than simply allowing an administrator to launch the app from the non-admin account without having to promote the whole account to admin.
    All admin utilities provided by Apple - Software Update, all the secure System Preferences, Disk Utility, Workgroup Manager, even sudo on the command line, all allow themselves to be run from any non admin account, by an administrator who can enter the admin password. All of this conforms to Apple's security guidelines. OnyX is broken if it doesn't follow those guidelines.
    The OnyX developer seems to assume that everyone runs all the time in an admin account, and it will only clear browser caches in admin accounts. The fact that Apple warns against even browsing the web while logged in to an admin account shows that the OnyX developer has a thing or two to learn about security configuration.

  • Refurbished MacBook Pro Owners: Post your experiences with "Refurbs" here.

    Hello Everyone. For the past few months I've been seriously thinking about getting a Mac notebook. When I get my Mac, I plan to run Final Cut Express HD for a few years, and If I decide to get a MacBook Pro then after a few more years I'll upgrade to Final Cut Studio. During my research of Macs I've stumbled upon something that really seemed to catch my eye; Refurbished MacBook Pro's for 41% Off Original Price. As far as I know, according to a few refurbished MBP owner's comments and Apple's brief description of it's "Stringement Refurbishing Process," it seems like a good deal to me, but of course it's always good to ask those who have already purchased a Refurbished MacBook Pro to see just how good of a job Apple does on refurbishing their products. That's why I've come here. For your comments. For all of you who have previously purchased a Refurbished MacBook Pro or other related item, please tell me about your experiences with your refurbished products. Was it a good experience? Or was it a bad experience, and feel free to go into as much detail as you need because I'll read your entire comment no matter how long. As you can see I'm pretty desperate for some owner's opinions so I will very much appreciate any comments that you give me. Thanks in advance for all your help and comments!

    I received my refurbished 2.16GHz Macbook Pro on Tuesday and had a similar instance to Ty-Guy. My shipping box wasn't visibly damaged but the Macbook Pro was warped in the center which caused the case to buckle out, right above the lid latch. I called Apple Care and they offered a full refund or an exchange. I opted for the exchange. After the call, I decided I might be able to live with the Macbook Pro as-is with maybe a little "tweaking". After a few hours of use I realized it also suffered from the glitchy DVD drive issue - some would read, some wouldn't, some that would read were ssssssllllloooowwww. So another call to Apple Care and 20 minutes later I had a Fedex return label emailed to me. 2 hours after I printed the label from the Fedex website, I received another email that my replacement Macbook Pro was already shipped Priority Overnight to me! However inconvenient it may be that I have to send a unit back for defects, Apple more than made up for it by handling it the way they did.
    And as far as Apple's strict refurbishment process goes, it is more than likely that the Macbook Pro arrived warped due to the shipping/packaging and not to lack of quality control. My Macbook Pro had no support underneath the center of it in the package. Which when subjected to say, a delivery person dropping it, would result in the area without support taking the brunt of the force. At least, that's my interpretation of it.

  • F4 help issue with Webdynpro ABAP application

    Hi,
    I am facing a strange issue with the F4 help in my webdynpro abap application.
    I have few fields for Purchase Order and Line item on the screen and they have corresponding F4 helps associated with them.
    When i select for F4 help, sometimes the screen simply blanks out and a white screen is displayed. When i refresh the screen and try the same scenario again, i can see the value list correctly.
    This issue occurs very randomly with no specific pattern. If anyone else has faced this issue earlier, kindly let me know how to get rid of this issue.
    Any pointers to resolve this issue will be helpful.
    Note: I am using SAP version 702 SP09.
    Thanks,
    Ramanath

    Hi,
    we cannot help you from offline, you need to check the standard procedures like
    SICF->is your application node is active.
    FQDN->check fully qualified name is configured
    You can also try to execute standard SAP application, if sap application also has problem running then you may have to get the help of BASiS people to look into that and raise a support ticket.
    If sap applications are running and your custom developed applications are not running then look into this application if there is any URL parameters need to supply etc.

  • ISR with WebDynpro ABAP

    Hi Experts,
    We are building a custom HR application to automate various HR processes
    like New Hire, Termination, etc.. Due to certain internal issues we are
    unable to use the standard business package for MSS (and hence PCR screens
    with adobe forms). We have to create custom webdynpro abap screens for the
    whole application. Now i would like to check if there is a possibility to
    use the ISR framework with a custom webdynpro abap application.
    I checked the transaction QISRSCENARIO but i could not find any option for
    webydnpro abap in "Entry type for Web".
    Have anyone of you tried such a scenario earlier with ISR's? Is there no way
    that we can use webdynpro ABAP applications with ISRs? Or do we have any
    work around for this.
    Please send in your valuable comments.
    Thanks in advance!!
