Hi All,

I want to learn BOPF, already i have started reading the blogs in community , But my question is where can we practice the BOPF.

Currently my system is having EHP6 and can we practice in ECC itself or where can we practice?

Please can you suggest me ,how can i integrate  BOPF into my System.

thank you.

Hi all,

I have a standard BO which has a standard subnode that collects BO representation nodes and need to display this using FBI.  The requirement is similar to the /BOFU/DEMO_SALES_ORDER object, which has the 'PARTY' subnode which collects /BOFU/BUSINESSPARTNER representation nodes.

When running the sample FPM application /BOFU/DEMO_CUSTOMER from package /BOFU/DEMO, I noticed that the creation of a new Business Partner node dumps:

This dump is because the framework uses the configuration of the /BOFU/DEMO_SALES_ORDER to search for a node of the /BOFU/BUSINESSPARTNER, which obviously can't be found.

Does anyone know what's wrong with the (wiring of the) demo application? My application also needs to do the same, strange thing is that creating BO representation nodes does not work, but deleting them is no problem.

Many thanks in advance!

Kind regards,

Bjorn

Hi,

When calling an action with a set of keys I would like to determine whether a failed key is a failed key because of a lock (so that it makes sense to call the action with that key once more after a couple of minutes). In order to achieve this I analyze EO_MESSAGE.

Unfortunately, the lock message always refers to the node that is actually locked (of course...), but there is no link to one of the keys for which the action is called.

If I don't know the internals of the action, there's no chance to find out which of the failed keys is a failed key because of a lock. And even if I do, it's sometimes very complicated to trace it.

Is there any option that might help here?

Hi Experts,

   I am looking to integrate SAP workflow in BOPF based Business object.

•   Do I need to make use of Determinations to start the workflow?
•   If I have to use it then what should be the category .

Thanks

Hi,

I want to enhance a component configuration (form UIBB) by adding a new input field. This configuration has assigned an FBI View so it also has a business object. The problem is that the new field is always  read-only. I've tried all the things from in this forum for this topic– to modify in get_data and get_definition from feeder class but nothing is working, I think somewhere these attributes are overwritten, because I've tried to make another field that was on the screen mandatory and didn't work.

I've discovered that it’s working for fields with a search help assigned, but for my particular field  it’s still not working.

In order to add the field on the screen I enhanced the Node UI structure . And If I check in BOPF objectin Node Category in the tab Attribute Properties the read-only property is checked for my field. I think because of this reason that field is always read-only. Do you know if I can change it? Can I enhance somehow the BOPF in order to change that tick in the Attributes Properties ?

Or do you have another idea for how to solve this problem?

Thank you,

Ramona

Hi Experts,

Started to learn BOPF concepts, hot to get specific BO key for Object.

Example:

I want to get BO key for Object /IAM/ACTIVITY, please let me know steps to find it.

Hello,

I'm trying to understand the FPM-FBI-BOPF workings of the BO example /BOFU/DEMO_CUSTOMER:

• WD application /BOFU/DEMO_SAMPLE_CUSTOMER
• FPM_OIF_COMPONENT with WD CompConfig /BOFU/DEMO_SAMPLE_CUSTOMER_OIF

The BO implements a custom action "CHECK_ARCHIVABILITY". It's connected to a button in the OIF.
At runtime, the UI-button becomes active in "CHANGE"-mode, i.e. after the button "Edit" is pressed. The UI-button becomes inactive
when switching back to read-only mode. I can't find any determination that implements this behavior for the CHECK_ARCHIVABILITY action. I'd assume that class  /bobf/cl_lib_h_set_property would be involved, but this isn't the case either.

What do I miss?

Thanks for any hint and clarification.

Hello,

  i am new here my requirement is to create a modelled association bewteen 2 child  using parent key.

it should go like this

i want to get  data  of child 2  at child 1 using the association that share the same parent key .for example parent key for child 1 is abc

now when i call this assocaiton  it should give me the data of child where parent key is abc .

can this be achieved using association attribute binding.

I have a customer requirement in TM enterprise area, where I need to load one million record lines in batches (filtered) into a FPM UI. But I see that, for even a record size of 10,000 line items, BO loading is taking between 2-3 minutes. Customer acceptance for these kind of data load is 3 seconds. Can you please let me know, how to fine tune BO to support these work load. I have done a complete ABAP stack trace and see that, FPM takes only few milliseconds to load the data, where as BOPF takes more than 120 seconds to load this.

So, is BOPF meant for high volume data?

Sunil.

Hello ,

We have created a application on BOPF using the customer feeder class inherited from the super class /BOFU/CL_FBI_GUIBB_LIST. Where in Get data we have copied all the code part from the super class. The item node was populated from the root node through the wiring. This functionality was working fine in EHP 6.

recently we moved from EHP 6 to EHP 7 package and now the data are not showing in Item Node UI. Though I have checked that while creating the NOde the internal tables has all the  item keys.

As per my initial analysis the custom feeder class the standard copied code  is not able to get the parent keys and the below code part is not able to get the keys.

if lo_entity_collection IS BOUND.

   lt_keys = lo_entity_collection->get_self_keys( ).

End if.

Class belongs to it is /BOFU/CL_FBI_ENTITY_COLLECTION Method /BOFU/IF_FBI_ENTITY_COLLECTION~GET_SELF_KEYS.

I have checked and cross verified with our old version that all the wiring and it is correct.EV_DATA_CHANGED is also checked.My PORT Identifier is CO Now.

Can any one help me what should be the reason or Do I need to change anything with respect to EHP7?

Regards,

Hi Experts,

    I want to build a solution on top of BOPF along with the capabilities of BOPF framework. In this regard I have developed a custom Business Object. Now I would like to integrate workflows. In this context, I knew that there is a process foundation related to EHSM. However, I would like to reuse the PCBO Business Object by creating a linkage with one of the custom PCO class.  Can you please suggest on this whether is this a good approach or not.

1. Can PCBO linked with the custom Business Object?

2. Can custom bilt PCO class communicate with PCBO business Object.?

Thanks

Wouldn't you like to streamline and simplify the development process for your business applications?

Then you should get to know more about BOPF, our infrastructure for developing business objects that is available for the SAP Business Suite. With the Business Object Processing Framework, you will save time during the development cycle because you don't have to implement all the technical details yourself - details such as authorization control, low-level transaction handling, buffer management, provisioning of consumer API, or business logic orchestration. Using the model-driven approach in BOPF, you can instead focus your attention more on the actual business requirements themselves.

What does BOPF stand for?

The Business Object Processing Framework is an ABAP OO-based framework that provides a set of generic services and functionalities to speed up, standardize, and modularize your development. BOPF manages the entire life cycle of your business objects and covers all aspects of your business application development. Instead of expending effort for developing an application infrastructure, the developer can focus on the individual business logic. Using BOPF, you get the whole application infrastructure and integration of various components for free. This allows you to rapidly build applications on a stable and customer-proved infrastructure.

Who uses BOPF?

BOPF is not really a new framework. In fact, it is well established and broadly used in multiple SAP ByDesign and SAP Business Suite applications and products – for example, Transportation Management (TM), Environment, Health and Safety (EH&S), SAP Supplier Lifecycle Management, SAP Management of Change, SAP Quality Issue Management, to name but a few. Apart from its use in SAP internal development, BOPF is also used in customer development projects.

How can SAP customers use BOPF?

Due to increased interest, BOPF is also used in SAP customer development projects. It is released with SAP Business Suite EHP5 SP11, SAP Business Suite EHP6 SP05, and SAP Business Suite EHP7. However, it is not available in the SAP NetWeaver standalone system, but only in the Business Suite Foundation layer, so that every SAP Business Suite customer can use it for their own development projects.

What are the main components of the application infrastructure?

With BOPF, you have a framework at your disposal with which you can seamlessly integrate different components of business applications. You can use them out-of-the-box. The advantages of using BOPF are thus obvious:

When using BOPF you don’t have to care about the development of adapters or integration layers to consume the following components:

Figure: BOPF acts as a bridging unit between various components

User Interfaces and Consumption

Process Integration

Infrastructure Component

What are the elements of the programming model?

The business objects are the basic units of the BOPF-based programming model. Business applications or processes operate on certain business objects. A business object is represented as a hierarchical tree of nodes. A single node includes a set of semantically related business object data and the corresponding business logic. On the technical level, each node is implemented with a regular Dictionary table, where each node instance corresponds to a single table entry (table rows). Nodes, attributes, and alternative keys set up the data part of a business object. Again from a technical viewpoint, attributes form the columns of the table. A node serves as an anchor point for connecting the business logic of the business object.

For each node, several types of entities can be defined to form the specific business logic part of a business object.

Figure: Business object metadata model

What kind of development environment is available for BOPF?

NOTE

As a SAP customer, you can use the BO Builder (BOB), the BO Builder for eXperts (BOBX), or the Eclipse-based client for the development of your own business objects. Here, you will benefit from that interoperability is ensured between these development tools. So you can, for example, create new business objects in the BOB tool and then edit them in another tool on.

How to get started?

• Getting Started with BOPF – guides you through all the steps required to create from scratch your first business object and to implement a basic operation using the BOPF API.
• Read the related blogs posts on SCN:
  • Navigating the BOPF: Part 2 - Business Object Overview
  • Navigating the BOPF: Part 3 - Working with the BOPF API
  • Navigating the BOPF: Part 4 - Advanced BOPF API Features

hi team,

please tell me how to raise error message for input check whether user enter the correct value or wrong in sap bopf

Hi All,

I am trying to create a chemical using BO EHFND_CHEMICAL using program. Referring the sample code listed in 'Navigating to BOPF' blog series.

I have passed ROOT node and BI_CHEMICAL nodes. But I am getting error 'Mandatory node ROLE is missing'.

When I tried to add ROLE node , in the code its giving errors like 'Mandatory node ROLE is missing' OR can not create, source object does not exist'.

I went through the node structure for the BO. In it we have Root - > Revision -> Role.

So my query is how to pass information for ROLE node? We need to add REVISION node also?

If anybody can guide, will be really helpful.

Hello all.

I know I can extend the metamodel and database tables but is it possible to add custom fields to the BOPF modeling UI itself? Either in Sapgui or eclipse.

I would like to create a model which fetches data from customizable criteria and the most logical would be to add these criteria to the metamodel directly. However, then I would need to access these fields also from the UI.

Thanks a lot.
