Modity ESS/MSS course code

Hi,

Is it possible to modify the WebDynpro source code of the MSS\ESS of ERP 2004?

If so, how can I do so?

Thanks in advance,

Aviad

Hi Aviad,

Yes you can..(don't know if SAP supports the modified code..). You will have to use a Java decomplier like JAD etc and then deploy it to the Portal via the Dev Studio.

Are you refering to the WebDynpro version in your answer?

How can I decompile the WD project? in any-case, the Java sources are in the WD Project, but I do not manage to import the project to the Eclipse properlly...

Thanks,

Aviad

>>>Are you refering to the WebDynpro version in your answer? YES

I am still on 47 & so didn't do it.. My answer was based on what I have heard & read.. I do know from a friend that they did manage to change the Java code on the WebDynpro by decompiling it.. I shall update the thread if I can get more details..

Hi,

Yes you can modify but you need to have NWDI(used to be JDI). I am modifyind the code. You dont need to decompile. NWDI is like more than a versioning system where you import all Web Dynpro code and then modify it. let me know if you still have questions.

Thanks

Hi Santhosh,

Thanks for the update!

Can you please write (shortly) the steps required to do so.

Thanks again,

Hi Aviad,

There are source code files available in service market place for these Web Dynpros. I dont know their names. Some XSS.sca, ESS.sca, MSS.sca... This is not a developers job.

These source code files need to be imported to NWDI. There is a cook book on this on Service marketplace to describing how to import these files to NWDI(seach for "ESS Cookbook" in notes search). Developer uses Netweaver Developer Studio(NWDS)(you use NWDI url in NWDS) and checkout the code and then modify the Web Dynpros. Then checks in and everything is automatic from here.

Thanks

The ESS/MSS Webdynpros for mySAP ERP 2004 (ECC 5.0) are based on the Floor Plan framework. You will need an understanding of that (there are some online classes from SAP for it) also to make customizations of delivered ESS/MSS Webdynpros. In some cases, the framework controls some of what you see. In others, it is the applications own code. It is confusing as all hell, so give yourself some ramp-up time to learn. Don't get too frustrated. haha Some tips....

(1) look at the doc in help.sap.com for ESS or MSS for the exact iView/service you are trying to modify. In there, it will give the name of the Webdynpro. For example, it might be "com.sap/ess~cod". Sometimes the documentation is wrong, so you can also look at the IMG (if you have access) and look at the Homepage Framework configuration section. In there, look for the RESOURCE for the service you need. It will give the application name in there as well.

(2) With JDI/NWDI set up (and this is a BIG undertaking in and of itself), you will pull the com.sap/ess/cod package into your project.

(3) make customizations to your project and then re-deploy your new code with JDI/NWDI.
