R3 Transactions via BSP Application

[Former Member]

HI Guys, I have a quick question. I recently created a SAP CRM R/3 Transaction iview to run a "va21" transaction using an ITS based webGUI it would seem. I'm also using crm_bsp_frame to run a CRM opportunity transaction, which works fine and comes up well. However the look and feel are completely different, which poses a user acceptance problem as they would like navigation between R/3 system and the CRM system to be seemless.

I would like to know if there's a way to call an R/3 transaction through a bsp application so that the end results are two more closer related user interfaces. Any ideas guys and gals?

Thanks

Julian

Hi Julian,

I guess many SAP users would be happy if it would be possible to convert a transaction (SAP GUI) based program into a truly web-based one automatically.

For converting it into BSP, there is still some programming of the layout necessary. But with the help and knowledge base available and collected in SDN, this doesn't seem to be too big of an effort.

In case you need some help, let me know.

regards, Ulli

You sound pretty confident that this can be done, which really lifts my spirits this fine morning. If you were in my shoes, where would you start, and how would you move forward? Do you believe it possible that someone has done this somewhere, and if so where should I look first? Also, in the event that I do have to program this BSP App, what resources or prerequisites would I need to get this done? How would I go about doing it? How long do you believe it would take to develop a solution? These are the questions that I'm boggled down by.

Any insight?

Hi Julian,

I'm sure there are a couple of people, who have rewritten a transaction, not particular yours but some other. To find that out move over to the BSP Forum. There are a couple of very good people who will be happy to help you.

But let's try to answer some of your questions:

Prerequisite? knowing ABAP (better ABAP OO) and HTML (I assume you never done a BSP app)

How to start? 1) Forget about the transaction at first and try to play around with BSP and read the weblogs for beginners which are proposed in the BSP forum.

2) Analyze the screens and screen elements, try to figure out, what BSP elements replace the SAP GUI controls

3) Find out the APIs which provide the data and how they fit in the BSP architecture, you might have to rewrite some function modules or classes.

4) Design and build your BSP app

Time needed? An experienced BSP developer can probably put something together in one or two weeks, always depending aon the complexity of the transaction. I can't tell, what your level of expertise is.

Anyway, move over to the BSP Forum and ask for your particular transaction. Do a search for all the beginners and newbee stuff and start working and asking. You will be surprised how fast these guys answer your questions.

Good luck, Ulli
