the main advantages of web dynpro lay in its ability to quickly create standardized web - based applications quickly. the diverse access to backend data and applications is another great advantage to web dynpro. remote function calls, jee and web service access are all supported. web dynpro uses a simple context mapping and data binding features to allow easy access to backend data .
this chapter presents through an example the way we can use the web dynpro application parameters and shared objects to communicate between a web dynpro abap application and a bsp (business server pages) application. first of all, we will create a very simple bsp application that will communicate with a web dynpro application using the web dynpro application parameters. at the end of the present chapter, we will use the shared objects to create the communication between a web dynpro abap application and a bsp application .

with sap' s sapui5 javascript toolkit, developers can build sap web applications using html5 web development standards, according to business intelligence expert ethan jewett .
the sapui5 toolkit can replace previous technologies, such as web dynpro .
nowadays, we might decide to use sapui5 combined with something on the back end that serves a web service like sap' s netweaver gateway platform ,
jewett says in the video .
it is usually said that the two sap frameworks (web dynpro abap and web dynpro java) used to develop “state of the art” web business applications have more or less the same functionalities. the purpose of the present paper is to present the main differences and similarities between these two sap frameworks, highlighting, in the same time, the premises of using wd abap or wd java. in the same...

the main focus of this chapter is the presentation of the mind map created on the basis of the elements described in this book. it can be of a real help in summarizing the knowledge, facilitating the learning of the web dynpro .
suitable for various infrastructure options. nwbc or portal, but also stand alone in a web browser is possible
web dynpro is founded on a simple principle :
minimize coding, maximize design
helping sap developers focus more on the visual aspects of web - based applications than on repetitive coding tasks. with the use of the model - view - controller (mvc) paradigm, sap lets us separate the business logic and presentation (or visual) aspects of our applications and link them together using controllers .

the powl workflow inbox can be incorporated into the sap enterprise portal, but can also be called from the sap netweaver business client (nwbc). since the powl inbox is based on web dynpro abap technology, the powl inbox can even be invoked in a separate browser if you do not have access to the sap enterprise portal or the netweaver business client (nwbc) .
writing a web dynpro abap application may be a job, but it can also be a craft—and in this book, you have the tool you need to become a master. start with the basics, jump right into advanced concepts, or flip straight to workbooks so you can apply your knowledge to real - life exercises. whatever your wda goal may be, this book will get you there .
– not many sap apps can boast of providing the end user with the ability to personalize their homepage. personalization basically means empowering the user with the control of what they see and how they see. the user can personalize the layout of the home page by rearranging tiles or can add, delete, rename, and reordering groups that too without having to go through hoops. web dynpro, gui jealous ?

– if you were to implement fiori alongside other sap out - of - the - box solutions, both of which are expected to be accessed via the same entry point (portal), then it leads to a user experienced that is not harmonized. when the fluidity of the fiori gives way to the rigidity of web dynpro, then the premise of a smoother user experience gives way to a jagged one. consuming only fiori apps through a separate entry point (gateway) and all other sap apps through the portal is another option but that might leave us with a confused and frustrated user – the last thing we need when talking about elevating user experience. if a chain is only as strong as its weakest link then ux is no different. which essentially means that the end user’s experience of using a fiori app might only be as good as that of using a web dynpro application .
this article presents an easy study technique, based on a complex and modern informational technology, the web programming on integrated systems, in particular web dynpro java. the project developed for this learning technique is realised in mind map and combines an assembly of utilities, from the transparent presentation of complex concepts to comparative studies and tests used to verify the knowledge, all these being based on a rich collection of applications. using this learning technique, it is possible to receive either an assembly image on the technology, or to deeply get into the subtlest details. © 2009 wiley periodicals, inc. comput appl eng educ 19: 201–207, 2011

since ecc6. 0 enhancement pack 5 (ehp5) the powl lean workflow inbox is available as an alternative to the universal worklist, or sap business workplace. powl stands for
personal object worklist
and is based on web dynpro abap technology. this technology combines the best of both worlds (sbwp and uwl) in a generic inbox. the powl inbox is, for example, suitable for the display of workflow tasks from different backend systems. in addition, it offers the greatest possibilities that you have at your disposal in the sbwp, such as setting substitutes .
earlier with qtp version, the web service add - in was supporting certain api testing in the form of the standalone service test application. but now, uft has integrated it into a common ide is a great place to visualize and understand api testing process that are helpful in testing headless application (application without user interface). headless applications like; jms, databases and web services are not supported by the api testing toolbox. uft fully supports c # coding to test the applications .

less flexible due to requirement that interface be made up of wd ui elements (i. e. custom html is not possible). to reduce the limitations, several measures have been taken. for example, wd supports so - called
islands
for e. g. flash applications that enrich the web dynpro ui element collection by rich ui elements. this disadvantage doesn' t seem so serious but in fact basic features that a user would expect cannot be implemented, e. g. coloured rows in a table, colors in general, advanced alignment of simple ui elements (due to nonexistence of more complicated ones), selecting multiple rows in tree - like tables (this is due to preserving basic concept of wd) and many more. utilizing such an island requires the developer to forego wd ui elements within .

the unified inbox is based on sapui5 technology and can actually be called the forerunner of sap fiori workflow applications that have been released more recently. the unified inbox is not optimized for mobile use, but by using the sapui5 / html5 technology it' s already a step in the right direction to support multiple platforms and devices. the unified inbox can be incorporated into the sap enterprise portal, sap netweaver business client (nwbc), sap fiori launchpad and also runs standalone in a web browser .
uft flex add - in is required to test flex applications or objects from its interface successfully. this add - in faces problems in case of accessing uft flex agent and finding flex based web applications, to come out of these problems you have to compile a flex application with a uft flex pre - compiled agent which is not necessary for qt applications. to run qt applications in uft, no any additional process is required; simply work for qt applications as like other supported applications by uft .
as already mentioned, the sap business workplace (sbwp) is the default option to handle sap workflow tasks. sap business workplace
runs
in the sap gui and is not accessible via web browsers or mobile devices. since the release of sap workflow in 1996 the sap business workplace has changed slightly, but generally it currently embraces the same functionality as 20 years ago. despite its
old age
, the functionalities offered in the sap business workplace have been used as the basis for all the new technologies that have been deployed to date in order to process sap workflow tasks .
– by implementing a superior product like fiori, we, in the process, happen to improve the end users’ taste and experience of consuming enterprise - grade applications. since fiori delivers only the most commonly used business applications in html5, it, most likely, will not account for replacing all the sap web applications in your landscape – at least not in the immediate future. with a blend of html5 and other sap - proprietary ui technologies to work with, the users will always tend to lean towards getting everything on html5 because of all the advantages listed above. thus, managing the rising expectations of the end users spawns into an ongoing challenge of converting and maintaining all applications in html5. also without the visibility of the fiori’s future roadmap, quelling those ux pangs is no easy task. an unhappy user is a death knell for any new ux improvements if the original ask is not met .
– fiori is marketed as and also technically is a web - responsive solution which means that it can be accessed seamlessly over a mobile as well as desktop. however from a ux standpoint it may qualify more as a mobile - only solution. i say that because a fiori launchpad as an entry point could not potentially replace the breadth of the portal’s potential. a portal can be used in multiple flavors – enterprise, knowledge, communications etc. , which fiori’s launchpad will always fall short of directly replacing. integrating fiori and other sap apps on the portal (even from its new fiori framework page) will lead us back to the harmonization problem that we discussed above. however, if the fiori landscape is to be made available only to the mobile world then for the end user it becomes easier to come to terms with the fact that only a few but important applications are available over mobile. so, is it mobile - first or mobile - only ?

thanks edson, your appreciation fulfilled the purpose of my writing the article! i am happy to know that it solved your problem .
this is a good workaround, but it’s not a fix. does anyone have a fix for this issue ?
the steps presented here are definitely just a workaround and idealy the netweaver application server should be upgraded to a version where the browser is supported .

some bundled ui elements are reproductions of standard html elements (e. g. drop - down menus) and do not gracefully degrade
html generated by wd is neither semantic nor readily readable: many ui layout elements are combinations of deeply nested tables, divs, and spans. for example, rather than utilizing a fieldset (two elements including legend) for the group ui element, wd recreates it with two spans surrounding a two row table with further spans, a div, and a wbr for a total of 13 elements .

when the concept of fiori was first announced by sap, it was recognized more as a package of 25 html5 applications (wave 1) that was available at a price outside of what you already pay to sap. it wasn’t embraced by the sap community (clients, service implementors et al .) until sapphire 2014 in which it was announced that fiori will be available free with your existing sap license. that move opened the floodgates for its adoption which led to many companies implementing it and, in the process, realizing the impact of user experience on business – gain in productivity, increase in user adoption, decrease in support issues and savings in training cost. today, fiori is not just a package of html5 - based sap applications – it is the new user experience (ux) for sap software, and has been marketed as such by sap itself. it is the face of sap’s ux strategy and is the core pillar of its ‘renew’ segment. but how does it fit into your sap landscape – is it a cure for all your sap ux problems or a band - aid solution to satisfy the growing needs of your enterprise. in this post, i will try to evaluate fiori’s ux component holistically but more from a strategic standpoint (and not from a technical one). also, evaluating the apps themselves – how good the fiori’s design patterns are or where affordances of certain ui elements fall short, is something that i will cover in another blog. these are purely my opinions so if you agree with me or share another opinion then feel free to post those in the comments section .
– fiori apps are responsive which means that they are able to provide a seamlessly experience regardless of the device (desktop, tablet, mobile) that they are consumed on. traditionally, when it comes to consuming applications on devices, sap’s software has been sensitive to a number of factors including the device itself, its os, browsers etc. but fiori’s responsive design is a significant overhaul in those terms. no longer one has to wait to get in front of the computer for submitting a leave request or to track sales orders. all you need is a device, yeah any device and you can get your job done .
for those who were expecting fiori to be - “ok (google) sap! submit my timesheet” - kinda responsive then that is a little too ambitious at this point but could very well be another feature in the future .
the term user experience or ux is used so routinely these days that sometimes we tend to undermine the presence of the u in ux. it stands for the (end) user of the system / application and addressing the ux is about improving the experience of that system for that user. fiori does that to the tee. classical sap was very transaction - oriented but fiori is user - centric and goal - oriented – a huge improvement over its gui counterpart .
” – amelia barr. fiori is no exception. the simple and minimalistic design paves way for a delightful experience. the apps make essential functions obvious and easy to use. this simplicity results in lowering training costs and in an expedited concept - to - completion cycle thus contributing to the app’s adoption. in terms of analogy, transitioning from the sap gui to a fiori application is like operating an airplane in manual - mode to just hitting a launch button from the ground to make it fly .
“design is not just what it looks like and feels like. design is how it works. ” – steve jobs. fiori, take a bow! ! !
now that we have gone over what fiori’s benefits and drawbacks are, let’s get back to our original question. as we all know, every sap landscape is different so there really cannot be a ‘one size fits all’ ux strategy. sap fiori is definitely a huge step forward in terms of consuming sap applications and will continue to make headway in that direction. is that a panacea for all your ux woes? – that depends on multiple factors including your landscape and your business requirements .
another informative blog prath. thanks. portal is definitely catering whole diverse population of users, but fiori will gives an additional avenue for them and more over it is mostly depicted as mobile only solution. also inevitable factor of complex landscapes leads to important hurdle on this adoption .
thanks for your comments. everyone is pretty keen on adopting fiori because of the advantages that it offers. however, for the companies that have a matured ux practice, fiori’s adoption will probably go through a vetting process to see if it fits well into their landscape as - is or if any modifications need to be made .

the minimization of coding is achieved with predefined blocks of code performing most of the standard functions; this declarative approach simplifies most standard tasks exponentially .
since the introduction of sap workflow in 1996 there have been introduced quite some alternatives to handle workflow tasks besides the standard sap business workplace (sbwp). for example, already more than 10 years, the universal worklist (uwl) can be used to handle workflow tasks in the sap enterprise portal .
in the recent years there have been introduced more alternatives next to the above two
settled technologies
which may provide a better user experience for specific user groups. the latest example is the sap fiori applications and the possibilities that come with it. this not only brings the user experience to a higher level, it also offers more possibilities to handle workflow tasks. example of the latter for instance, it provides your users mobile access to their workflow tasks. the latest improvement in the workflow area within the sap fiori spectrum is called the
my inbox
application. this standard sap fiori application was released in january 2015 about which sap stated that this is the future way of working for handling sap workflow tasks .
all sap workflow inbox alternatives are described in this article. we' ll mention the main features, advantages and disadvantages of each option. we also compare the alternatives on the main features. in that way you can get a clear picture on when to use which workflow alternative .
the universal worklist (uwl) is the inbox for workflow tasks when the sap enterprise portal is being used. it runs out - of - the - box and provides occasional users of sap workflow a better user experience than the sap business workplace. the degree of flexibility and to which the uwl can be extended is rather high. it is possible to display tasks from multiple systems into a universal inbox: the universal worklist. also, sap netweaver bpm tasks and workflow tasks from non - sap systems can be incorporated into the uwl .
thanks to the technology associated with powl applications, the powl inbox is very flexible to the extent that it can be configured and personalized. additional options such as the default forward and representation functionality can be added. also, additional queries can be defined for the powl inbox. in addition, the powl inbox adds some standard queries for mss scenarios such as approving leave requests .
the unified inbox is the first sap workflow inbox that is developed with more recent user interface technologies. the unified inbox is based on html5 and therefore has a more modern look and feel compared to the previous alternatives. the unified inbox is like the uwl ideal for collecting workflow tasks from multiple systems. whether it are the traditional sap backend systems such as ecc, srm and crm, or it are sap netweaver bpm systems. in addition, unified inbox also has the ability to visualize tasks from non - sap systems .
the standard fiori
my inbox
app is the latest development in the field of sap workflow inboxes and has been available since january 2015. the my inbox app is the successor to the standard sap fiori
approve request
app and the
unified inbox
. my inbox has basically the same functionality as the unified inbox, but is now released as and integrated into an sap fiori application. one of the major advantages of this fiori sap application against the unified inbox is that the tasks can be handled by different devices: both desktop, tablet and mobile are supported. this is obviously one of the key features of sap fiori. important to mention is that the my inbox sap application positioned as the new sap workflow inbox of the future .
the my inbox app is fully integrated into the sap fiori launchpad application and is configurable and extensible on various components. some important features that are present in the my inbox app :
in addition, sap fiori is positioned as the new user interface technology from sap and that is reflected completely by the release of the my inbox app. the recent launch of s4hana (the successor of sap erp) reiterates the position of sap fiori within the sap landscape; the user interface of s4hana is completely based on sap fiori .

hp uft (unified functional testing) tool is an automation functional testing tool, currently available in version 12. 01 (from july 2014). its supported features motivate developers and testers to develop and deliver bug free quality software to meet the business needs. due to its excellent features, hp uft software and uft professionals both are always in demand .
we have complete qtp tutorial series of 25 + in - depth tutorials. please check here .
it is not a new product of hp, an old product “qtp” quicktest professional with new and advance features. initially, qtp was written by mercury interactive and released the first version 5. 5 in 2001, later on developed by hewlett packard (hp) in 2006. in 2012, hp renewed qtp with the new name uft; during renewal hp’s uft version was 11. 50 .
the name “unified” reveals that utf is an advanced and combined “gui and api (service) ” testing tool, strongly test the functionalities of the front - end and back - end of the software application. hp said that the new released of uft 12. 01 provides better documentation support as compare to uft 12. 0 .
also, uft supports bpt (business process testing) is a component - based testing framework provides strong and efficient platform to test complete business process manually and automatically, combines manual and automation tests with less duplication and its component reusability feature makes the testing process fast. enable structured automated testing .
qtp / uft uses vb script as a scripting language, this is only a language fully supported by ide (integrated development environment) of qtp / uft. ide is a user interface of qtp / uft. apart from vb script, it also supports java script and windows shell script. using vb script, user can take the advantages of object oriented programming concepts, but not polymorphism and inheritance .
although, i mentioned above uft is a latest version of qtp with many new features are the advanced solution for functional and regression testing .
people who are using qtp for past some years and are very friendly with it, every day they test many functionalities of the software application to find and release bugs, during testing process they use many other tools with qtp to provide bug free quality software. then after releasing uft, definitely a question comes in mind that why to go for uft, how uft is advanced than qtp, how we can test the software application in better manner using uft new features? here is the solution of your all questions ,
uft (unified functional testing) name reveals that is a combination of “hp quicktest professional” and “hp service test”, means; uft software package includes all features of qtp and service test both. this integrated hp unified functional testing package facilitates developers and testers to test three layers of the software applications; the interface layer, the service layer and database layer .
uft runs on all main browsers that user uses regularly for their daily task, like; internet explorer v6 - v11, firefox v3. 0 – v31 (uses appropriate patches and service packs), google chrome v12 – v35, and apple safari (on remote mac pc) v6, v6. 10, v7. 00, but qtp basically runs on internet explorer, google chrome till v36, and firefox browsers, but not on apple safari depends on patches and service packs used .
using apple safari browser, uft runs the test on remote mac pc efficiently due to secure communication between the uft pc and the mac pc, detect the browser object during test to take the snapshot .
utf runs on os: windows xp / vista / 2003 / 7 / 8 / 8. 1 and windows server 2008 / windows server 2012 r2
qtp welcome page: welcome page of qtp is little bit different than uft, in terms of color, design, text style, and content of the page. in the welcome page, qtp provides process guidance list (keyword - driven testing, application areas, and business components) and many tools icons to test the applications as per the requirement. also, displays files which you have already opened earlier for work purpose and an option to hide the welcome page .
uft welcome page: as, i have already explained that uft is little bit different than qtp, in terms of color, design, text style, and content of the page. in the welcome page, uft displays links to open and create a new test file, also many tools to support and maintain that particular file .
although, uft installation package is smaller than all previous versions; installation process has become very faster and secure, also it takes very less time during installation. additionally, uft provides option to install add - in for alm and the run result viewer with the installation package, installation process can be in any supported language by uft; no need to install a separate language pack. during installation, it installs and configures all necessary software, tools and add - ins required to run uft. securely install the package without disabling the user account control (uac) for your pc .
uft v11. 5: qtp has distinct options for functional testing; one for gui testing and another for non - gui using api service test .
but, unified functional testing (uft) is a combination of both products (gui and api) and its features and displays in one common user interface. initially to test the application, user can choose any one of the option “gui or api (service test) ” from the “start page” as per the requirement .
uft v12. 0: in addition to gui and api testing, uft 12. 0 also provides option for business process testing, all together in one common user interface .
the new version of qtp is supporting two new add - ins: “flex” and “qt”, these add - ins facilitate users to test gui part of flex and qt applications .
the canvas of uft is basically a test flow pane displays all actions (all the functions of the test scripts) happens during testing process in graphical form. as per the requirement of the test, you can drag and drop all the actions up and down. you can run, debug, call the existing action or new one .
insight recording; one of the best and easy image (objects) reorganization technique than other techniques, makes recording easier by providing recording toolbar. it recognizes those objects and applications that uft can’t do ever using simple techniques, also helpful in recognizing applications run on remote system .
old qtp had less debugging features as compare to new one (uft). during the test of an application, debugging becomes an important process of an automation tool. due to its importance, has been improved in the latest version of qtp .
call stack – facilitates to see all methods and functions that are presently available in the call stack.
web dynpro ( wd ) is a proprietary web application technology developed by sap se that focuses on the development of server-side business applications . one of its main design features is that the user interface is defined in an entirely declarative manner . web dynpro applications can be developed using either a java ( web dynpro for java , wdj or wd4j ) or abap ( web dynpro abap , wda or wd4a ) flavor . the earliest version of web dynpro appeared in 2003 and was based on java . this variant was released approximately 18 months before the abap variant . the java variant of web dynpro experienced limited commercial success , and as of 2010 , has been placed in maintenance . this means that the existing product is supported to the extent that any bugs are fixed ; however , no new functionality will be added . sap 's development effort is now focused on the abap variant of web dynpro . wd follows a design architecture based on an interpretation of the mvc design pattern and uses a model driven development approach ( " minimize coding , maximize design " ) . the web dynpro framework is a server-side runtime environment into which many dedicated " hook methods " are available . the developer then places their own custom coding within these hook methods in order to implement the desired business functionality . these hook methods belong to one of the broad categories of either " life-cycle " and " round-trip " ; that is , those methods that are concerned with the life-cycle of a software component ( i.e. processing that takes place at start up and shut down etc. ) , and those methods that are concerned with processing the fixed sequence of events that take place during a client-initiated round trip to the server . webdyn pro is aimed at the development of business applications that follow standardized ui principles , applications that connect to backend systems and which are scalable .
