rendering ESS transactions - HTML code templates?

[Former Member]

Hi,

I was wondering, how does an ess, or any transaction get rendered into being HTML? If you take the Expense Entry from ESS, it's just transaction TRIP_EWT, but where is the HTML that the page gets created from located? I'm assuming it's on the ITS somewhere, but I have not found it yet.

Cheers,

I don't believe there are any web templates for TRIP_EWT. As far as I know, the ITS will generate HTML as the transaction is called (much like the Webgui). The generated pages are dynamic and are not stored in an accessible location on the server.

Some transactions actually do have templates stored on the system - you can find them by going to SE80 and choosing "Internet Service" in the pulldown menu. You will notice that TRIP_EWT is not one of the available services. When calling a transaction which has been marked as an Easy Web Transaction, it is not necessary to create a service file.

For a good look at the difference between these two types of transactions, look at Address (PZ02), which has no templates, and Benefits Enrollment (PZ14), which has a whole stack of them.

Hi guys,

Thanks for the responses. I should have been a little more clear with my post. The reason for the post is because Daniel is right, there are no templates for the TRIP_EWT. All that is happening is an SAP transaction is being rendered by the ITS with HTML and displayed. We spent 8 months back in 2004 modifying and customizing the templates to meet our process groups likings.

Maybe this will help a bit more. What we want is for when a user clicks a link, other than what is located within the TRIP_EWT t-code, a javascript confirm popup to warn the user that they could be leaving without saving their work, preferably on the onBeforeUnload event.

You apparently can do this using the EPCM.subscribeEvent() call, but I don't know where to turn on or activate that event. I can catch the onUnload event, but that's too late as the ITS has been released by then.

We are using EP 6.0 and ESS 50.4 with external ITS.

For 'Benefits - Enrollment' iView I need to hide the column 'Enrollment Form'.

I have found the PZ14 templates via SE80. But which template has the header for the Enrollment Form title which shows up in the Benefits and Payment Tab Enrollment iView?

Thank you for any assistance. I will award points.
