Calling a screen (dynpro) for specific user and application server

Former Member — Tue, 25 Mar 2008 17:48:16 GMT

Hello everybody,

checking DB table changes I want to call a screen (e.g. dynpro) for a specific user on the application server where he is working. I get the information of active user and their application server. The DB check report runs in the background. The question is, how I can trigger the screen user specific?

For any hint I am very appreciated.

Best regards,

Joern

Not quite sure of the requirement you have, but to send a popup message to a selected user you could look at the function module TH_POPUP (there are several references in Google for this).

Hi Jonathan,

it was the right step ahead. I want to show on the popup a table (like a table control) where the table changes are listed and the user can enter any comments. My first idea was to use the system message (SM02) technology where a central person enter anything and if the user calls any user-command the popup of the system message appears only for you. This popup is a dynpro screen where I could insert PBO / PAI as usual.

1. Is there the possibility to use a command like call screen <user> <app server> ? I have never seen before.

2. Do I have to use the event handling? Can it be used for asynchronous call?

Thanks for any hint in advance.

Hmmm, interesting challenge... my first instinct would be to check out a custom workflow as an option - perhaps you could have an "express message" that notified the user there was info required and take them to their inbox and then have all your data collection from the workflow item.

Hi Jonathan,

the idea with the express message is a good idea. I need to show the table control instead the express message (-> possible?). Do you know any helpful link to the workflow technology?

Many thanks!

I'd pictured it more as the user receiving the express message and by selecting it then they would get a new SAPGui session where they could fill in the additional details you want, table control et al... that way you don't have to worry about disturbing the state of their current session (e.g. they could be half-way through a 500 line journal, and not wanting the interruption...)... you could then use the workflow engibe to check up on any messages that hadn't been responded to and escalate them etc. However I'm not a workflow expert, so you might pose the idea in the BPM & Workflow forum at and see what responses you get. Another idea that just occured to me would be to fire the user an email with an Adobe Interactive form to fill in... never tried it myself, but it could be fun trying it out...!
