Hello Sonia,

what is the GRT? I've had a search through SCN and cannot find any reference to it - is it a standard SAP product? I would appear to me not to be - and as such I'd guess that there isn't any standard UIBB for it.

If it is a custom solution - then if it is developed in WDA then it should be relatively simple to wrap it in a UIBB layer and embed it into an FPM application.

If it's not developed in WDA, then I'd suggest that the answer is a clear "No".

Do let us know what you mean by GRT - perhaps provide a link to some SAP help about the product?

Thanks,

Chris

Hi Chris,

Please refer the below link, it tells about GRT but with WD Java

There is no direct match to this GRT in Web Dynpro ABAP. However Web Dynpro ABAP has several similiar frameworks (that aren't ESS/MSS specific either). Probably the closest would be POWL. I would recommend researching that. Since this GRT tool is within the ESS/MSS context in WDJ, you probably also want to look at the concepts of Floorplan Manager in Web Dynpro ABAP as well. They are different than the Floorplan Manager in WDJ since this is a more generic framework. Inside the WDA FPM we have a Generic UIBB for List output.
