ABAP Freakshow – March 3, 2010: WDA Performance Tools Part 5

Thomas Jung — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 14:03:03 +0000

This is part 5 of a 6 part series on tools that are available for monitoring or troubleshooting the performance in Web Dynpro ABAP based applications. In this part of the series we dig deeper into the Runtime Analysis tool. We show you how to trigger the Runtime Analysis trace for a Web Dynpro Application as well as how to filter out the surround Web Dynpro ABAP framework code from the trace results. We also show a preview of some of the new Runtime Analysis features that are coming in NetWeaver 7.02.

ABAP Freak Show – June 17th – Large Database Objects in 7.02

Thomas Jung — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 14:54:59 +0000

This episode of the ABAP Freak Show looks in detail at large database objects – STRINGS and RAWSTRINGS. Although we have had the ability to use unlimited length STRING and RAWSTRING fields in database tables in ABAP since WebAS 6.10, NetWeaver 7.0 Enhancement Package 2 brings several new features which help to optimize access to these fields. In this eLearning we study both the new Locator and Stream object for reduced resource consumption when working with just such large fields from the database.

ABAP Freak Show – May 20th – NetWeaver Business Client 3.0 Preview

Thomas Jung — Wed, 20 May 2009 14:27:02 +0000

In this episode of the ABAP Freak Show, we take an in depth look at the upcoming 3.0 release of the NetWeaver Business Client. This new version of the NWBC will ship later this year alongside NetWeaver 7.02 and 7.20 based applications. NWBC offers an alternative to using an Internet Browser (such as Firefox or Internet Explorer) for accessing your Portal roles and SAP business applications.

We look at the latest features of the NWBC in this eLearning video. We see how you can setup the NWBC to consume roles from either an ABAP backend system (PFCG) or from a NetWeaver Portal. We look at the new capabilities for SAPGUI for Windows integration, we see advantages to the streamlined navigation and desktop integration capabilities. We also see how external resources (like Twitter, Google, and other search tools) can be integrated into the NWBC.

Finally we look at the SmartClient rendering for Web Dynpro that will ship with NWBC 3.0. With this functionality Web Dynpro applications render with a very lite weight XML output. This XML gets interpreted within the NWBC and rendered as .Net and WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation) on the desktop. This gives you the choice of running Web Dynpro applications in a browser or as a true desktop application – without having to change any coding of the application.

ABAP Freak Show – May 8th – Islands Revisited

Thomas Jung — Sat, 09 May 2009 00:52:53 +0000

In this episode of the ABAP Freak Show, we once again revisit the topic of FlashIslands for Web Dynpro. This time we go deeper into the topic and see some advanced examples as well as alternative techniques for data binding and eventing.

Although the episode comes a few days late because of last minute preparations for ASUG/SAPPHIRE, hopefully everyone will find it worth the wait.
