Web Dynpros -- possible to call a SAPGUI operation?

[Former Member]

We're developing an Web Dynpro application in which it would be appropriate to invoke a "SAPGUI" operation, such as a TCode (ex., SE09), a call dialog, or a function module which displays a useful pop-up.

Is this possible from a Web Dynpro?

Our attempts this are permitted syntactically but fail at runtime with "Screen output without connection to user."

BTW - We're working with Web Dynpro for ABAP, but I'd imagine that the same restriction would apply to Java web dynpros, too, correct?

Hi Dreibelbis ,

you can look into creating Transaction Iview in EP. then call this transaction Iview in Webdynpro using WDPortalNavigation.

I can give you the Reference for creating Transaction Iview in EP.

Accessing Transaction Iview in Webdynpro.

WDPortalNavigation.navigateAbsolute(

"ROLES://portal_content/TestDir/test2/AIC_Test222",

WDPortalNavigationMode.SHOW_EXTERNAL,

(String) null,

(String) null,

WDPortalNavigationHistoryMode.NO_DUPLICATIONS,

(String) null,

(String) null,

"P_BNKLND="BankCountry"&P_BNKKEY="BakKey"&P_ACNUM="accountNo"&P_XSIMUL= ");

.

There are many Logs available for Creating and accessing Transaction Iviews in Webdynpro. you can have a look .

If this is deployed via the Portal - please look at AppIntegrator iViews (search on App Integrator in SDN).

With AppIntegrator iViews - you can call SAPGUI transactions (invoked through Integrated ITS) and also pass values to the SAPGUI transaction and possibly SKIP FIRST SCREEN. Another advantate AppIntegrator supports User-Exits in the Portal - custom parameters can be passed by reading the EP UME and pass values to your Web Dynpro for ABAP iViews - example - LDAP attributes stored in Portal UME can be passed on to the Web Dynpro for ABAP application!!

Thanks

The context of our project, unfortunately, is <b><u>Web Dynpro for ABAP</u></b>. We are trying to create WDA applications for several SAPGUI applications that we have which interface with R/3-ECC functions.

So, we can't use the EP iView or call it from a Java routine.

We'd like to invoke Transactions (SNOTE, SE09, SM59), possibly call a Dialog, and perform function modules which happen to pop-up UI objects (ex., EPS_FTP_MPUT).

All of these cause a "Screen output without connection to user" failure at runtime.

At least for the calling of transactions, have you considered using the integrated ITS. I have used the LinkToURL UI element to open another window with the SAPGui transaction generated by the ITS. You can build your URL and attach key data via parameters.

I haven't used <b>ITS</b>.

Can you please direct me to information on how I would generate a SAPGUI transaction with ITS?

And, how would I package this for delivery to our customers? Are ITS objects also packaged and installed using a Transport?

[thomas_jung]

The Itegrated ITS has been part of the ABAP system since Netweaver04. There is nothing additional to install. The ITS interprets existing SAPGui transactions and displays them using HTML/JavaScript. If this is what you want - exact duplicates of the SAPGui Transactions - there is nothing to develop, deliver to customers, or package.

Have a look at the following:
