Additional Features Status and Tracking Monitor

New monitor for administratorNew monitor for plannersEnhanced administration features


New Design of Administrators Monitor

• Aggregated status/comment view

• Open and close locks ad hoc

• Responsible person and actual processor (only in direction bottom-up)

• Tooltips with additional informations (e.g. comments, last change by)

• Send start-E-mails from monitor view

• Determin expansion level of hierarchy


Alternative Monitor View (table view)

• Sort/ Filter by values


Detail View of Planner

• Send E-Mail to responsible planner on next higher level

• Additional comments (text element)


Additional Functionalities – Part 1

Text element for userinformations per planningssession(create in SE61)Cascading status switch onlyfor underlying nodesWith synchronous execution ofplanning sequence the UIshows a “please wait”-pop upand blocks further entries.


Additional new functionalities – Part 2

Additional menu entries incustomizing transactionAdministration

Delete/ copy of planningsessionsDelete planning roundTransport of planningrounds/planning sessionssend reminder E-Mail

New status type: ‘any’This simplifies to scheduleplanning sequences at statusswitches, e.g. from ‘new’ to‘any’

rule applies.

Where-used-functionality onplanning level tabstrip

shows all rules that apply onthat planning level.


Exit Class Web Interface Builder I

Event handler

In order to react on end user actions BSP event handlers areused.

A planning application uses:OnInitialisationOnInputprocessing

Where to find:Open generated BSP using transaction SE80Expand the hierarchy as shown in the screenshot.

The class CL_UPWB_BSP_APPL

This class implements the event handler

It offers the following methods for redefinition (technicalname):

Output Processing (initialisation)Initialisation (load)Dispatching of activities (dispatch)

Input Processing (inputprocessing)Dispatching of activities (dispatch)

Note: The grouping indicates, that e.g. the load method iscalled by the initialisation method.


Exit Class Web Interface Builder II

Creating (custom-)Subclass

By using ABAP OOtechniques you can create asubclass and choosemethods to be redefined.

The screenshot shows anexampe for subclasszcl_fis_wib01.

The redefined methods arelisted below the node‘Redefinitions’.


Exit Class Web Interface Builder III

Initialisation (Output Processing)

Within Initialisation:First time: call load method to initialize the componentsDispatcher queue is created

Contains list of components (e.g. layouts)Lists tasks to be done on component (e.g. process_input)

Dispatcher method is called for each task

When redefining e.g. the dispatcher method, you will find this standardABAP source code sample:

method DISPATCH.*CALL METHOD SUPER->DISPATCH* EXPORTING* IS_HANDLER =* RECEIVING* R_SUBRC =* .endmethod.


Exit Class Web Interface Builder IV

Example: key figure validation of manual input

METHOD dispatch.* 1. Call standard processing

CALL METHOD super->dispatch* 1. Check if dispatcher calls a layout

ready to validate* 2. Add your own rule to determine if data

of this spezific layout should be validated.* 3. Specify the set of cells that should be

validated and apply the validation rule.* 3a. Add your own validation rule.ENDMETHOD.Note: You can find a How to paper describing the details on theservice market place soon.


Exit Class Web Interface Builder V

Details on layout component

The layout component is defined in the interface if_upwb_c_layout2.

It is available since SEM3.1 SP16 (new features of WEB layouts).


Exit Class Web Interface Builder VI

List of important attributes

MT_HTML_CELL - Table cells for HTML renderingCell identifier (ID)Position within layout (ROW, COL)Error status (ALERT_FLAG)Replacementtype for cell value (VALUE_TYPE)Content (VALUE)Generic list of attributes (ATTRIBUTES)

Note:When using value_type = ‘html’, the system will insert the given cell content as pur html into the layoutcell. You can specify the html-coding that is inserted into the cell.By using the generic list of attributes, you can add e.g. events to the cell. Just specify param =‘onMousedown’ and value = ‘myHandler()’ to add events.

MT_HEAD – Header CombinationName of characteristicsSelection per characteristic

MT_COL – characteristics of columnMT_ROW – characteristics of rowM_SUBRC – Return ValueNote:

By combining these tables you can specify the complete selection of a cell.… for more details see ABAP workbench …


Exit Class Web Interface Builder VI

Typical tasksAdding javascript/html to WEB Interface

Add text component to WEB InterfaceInsert javascript/html as long text or OTR-ObjectSet property html = true.

Adding html-code to layout cellRedefine the desired methodAdd html-code to cell valueSet value_type = ‚html‘

Adding events to planning layoutOption1: use generic list of cell attributesOption2: use javascript and set attributes during render time ( possible notonly for layout cells but also for other tags)

Do it once on first start of Web planning applicationRedefine load method

Do it before/after a task of input/output processingRedefine dispatcher method


Predefined Totals in Rows and Columns

1) Insert Item for apredefined total

2) Select „Total“-Checkmark

3) ExecutePlanning Layout
