EHS Programming guide

[Former Member]

Hello,

I am new to the EHS Programming world and trying to find good documentation on EHS programming differences than normal ABAP.

Also trying to understand more on API - how to identify / use API for reading data from system.

Any help/links would be appreciated.

Thanks,

N Bhat

Hello all

EH&S contain a number of submodules (e..g. PS = product Safety; DG = Dangerus Goods managment etc.). These are organized by standard in SAP packages. As explained in the paralell reponse: there are a high number of function modules available (as well as programs/reports/transactions). Because of standard SAP approach from time to time some of the function modules are declared as "obsolete" and new techniques are available. With ECC 6.0 you have further on the option to use "enhancement points" to change (enhance) the standard. If you do some research in internet you will find from time to time important EH&S reports etc. But as explained in the response: the number of EH&S relevant function modulesetc. are very high and will find all of them only if you do an inquiry in e.g. se80. Most of the function modules does have a documentation (sometimes large; sometime minimal).

Therefore to my experience there is no high need to use "modifications" because the number of user exits etc. is high and therefore the SAP EH&S can be enlarged by standard in many places.

So: EH&S is based as explained completely on standard SAP techniques (ABAP). With higher releases etc. the WebDynpro technique is used more often as well as Adobe integration is used more often (like in SAP REACH compliance management wich does requiere a separate lSAP license)

Furthermore the integration of EH&S in other modules is enhanced by each release etc. and because of legal changes sometime new modules are prepared (like EH&S SVT)

With best regards.

PS: As EH&S is linked to chemical regulation SAP is providing twice a year a suport package. This contains error correction and ! new or changed functionalities becuase of legal requirement. EH&S SVT is one "rare" example which is available via a support package. Actually "real" enhancements are done by SAP only by using "Enhancement Packages". EnhPack 5 should be availble this year in Ramp Up etc. It cotains very useful new EH&S functionalities and if possible you should install the EnhPack5 and in most cases you will activate it.
