ABAP program from portal or browser

[Former Member]

Hello All,

I have an ABAP program which extracts some data from the database. The program is on my solution manager system. I want to create a UI , either on the portal or as a standalone browser page, which executes that ABAP program and outputs the data as per the filters/ user input.

Please suggest me how to start off. Please let me know the step by step procedure.

Thanks,

Shahid Ahmed.

Hello Friend,

To create an user interface in portal / browser, you can use BSP / Web Bynpro.

And to reuse the code of the ABAp program which you have, better to create a functional module with the input parameters and internal table as export. Call that function module from the BSP / web Dynpro application.

Hope it will help you.

Hi Shahid,

If you are ok with the SAP look (as in GUI) even in Portal, create a transaction for your report and create a SAP Transaction iView in Portal.

This is the easiest way of web enabling the ABAP Report.

If you want some fancy look / Portal kind of look, you have to go for BSP or Web Dynpro.

Thanks for your replies.

If I go for a BSP/web dynpro application. Do i just need to put a call to that function in the source code? or are there anything more i need to code?

Hi Shahid,

BSP or Web Dynpro are altogether different kind of development tools, and will be developed in SE80 Transaction.

Try searching for beginning tutorials in SDN you will get some idea on these.

build an FM with parameters that will take user input and populates the output.

Now, build a webdynpro application through SE80.In this u gve the user input as the UI element.

call the FM in this webdynpro comp. and pas the user input that will be emtered in the UI element to the FM.
