SAP Screen Personas allows you to improve user productivity by personalizing your SAP Dynpro (SAP Business Suite and SAP S/4HANA) and Web Dynpro screens. You can simplify screens by removing fields you don't use, converting free text entry to pull-down menus, and automating recurring keystrokes.

By providing the right information to the right users in the right context, they can get more done in less time with greater accuracy. With more intuitive SAP screens, organizations can enhance user satisfaction, minimize training time, and spend less money on screen modifications. SAP Screen Personas is one of several ways to improve SAP usability and the overall user experience.

When it comes to SAP GUI Net weaver Handling, There are some points that a beginner should be knowing for a better understanding and handling of the GUI:

• Here is the way your SAP GUI will look like initially when the you start it.

• Now, we will discuss how, we can import all the connections/configurations of the systems in the SAP Logon so that you can logon to any required system of your choice.

To do this, we need "ini" files which are already having all the server/system configurations available or required. We need to copy these ini files to a particular path. To know this path, we can go to settings of the net weaver and check the path of the configuration files as shown below:

Go to options-->SAP Logon Options-->Local Configuration Files.

The above image shows the path of the local configuration files. Copy this path and paste in the address bar of your computer, there you can paste your INI files and restart the Net weaver Logon pad. You can see all the system connections as shown in the first image.

Now you can logon to any landscape system to do the monitoring, check reports and many more.

• If you want to change the language of the SAP logon, then you can go to options-->sap logon options-->general and you can chose any other language you like.

• If you have configuration information of any system, then you may create a new connection.

Just enter the details of the configuration of any server in the SAP Logon as shown below. Remember i could be a application server/Group conneaction depending upon the requirement of the conneaction (that will be specified in the configuration details like application server string, system ID etc.

Click on next and finish. After that a connection will be created Just double click and login to use the system.

Please share and mark it as helpful if you find it good and helpful. Will be coming back with the GUI issues, which are general but cause issues while handling the GUI and BEX Analyzer.

Universal Clients for Accessing SAP Systems

SAP GUI is SAP's universal client for accessing SAP functionality in SAP applications such as - SAP ERP, SAP Business Suite (SAP CRM, SAP SCM and SAP PLM), SAP Business Intelligence and so on. SAP GUI functions like a browser. It gets information from the SAP server like what, where, when and how, to display contents in its window. All members of the SAP GUI family have unique attributes that make them especially suited for different user environments. SAP GUI comes in the following three different flavors:

SAP GUI for Windows
SAP GUI for Windows is an implementation especially designed for the Windows operating system, providing a Windows-like user experience and integration with other applications, based on OLE interfaces or ActiveX controls.

SAP GUI for the Java Environment
SAP GUI for the Java environment is a unified SAP frontend for multiple platforms. It is based on a platform-independent architecture and Java implementation. As a major benefit, it provides access to SAP applications that are based on Control-Enabling and therefore used to be reserved for Windows users in the past. Please, note that SAP GUI for Java is also available on Windows.

SAP GUI for HTML
SAP GUI for HTML automatically maps the screen elements in SAP transactions to HTML using HTML Business functions available within the SAP Internet Transaction Server. A web browser is sufficient to access almost all transactions. Please note: Since SAP GUI for HTML is an application running on the ITS, you find corresponding information on the ITS page.
You can find detailed information on the different SAP GUI types under the following links:

General Information
Frontend Network Requirements (SMP Login required!)
Distributed landscapes today lead to the fact that an increasing number of users connect to a central system from dispersed sites with varying degrees of available bandwidth. As a consequence, user access is through local area network (LAN) and wide area network WAN (dial-up, frame relay, Internet, etc.). This paper contains a description of SAP's frontend characteristics from both a LAN and a WAN perspective.
Please note that this paper does not discuss server-to-server traffic or printing.
SAP GUI Technical Infrastructure
The purpose of this guide is to give you an understanding of the different SAP GUI types, their specific properties and how they communicate with the SAP system. Also, it explains the performance requirements of the infrastructure and describes trouble-shooting options.

Just captured all the mandatory checks and steps to call remote enable function modules in Personas 3.0

Reference Link:http://wiki.scn.sap.com/wiki/display/Img/How+to+call+Remote+Enabled+ABAP+Function+Modules+in+Personas+3.0

Requirement: Fetch Employee Full Name and Last Logon Date using Personas 3.0

Step 1:

Personas SP level in our landscape:

Step 2:

Mandatory Checks

• Make sure, Function module is Remote Enabled in SAP System
• Function module to be included in Table/View ‘/PERSONAS/C_RFCW’

Step 3:

SICF Path for the Personas URL

Transaction SICF -> Click ‘F8’ -> Navigate to Path-> default_host->sap->bc->personas

Step 4:

URL: http://FQDN/sap/bc/personas?sap-client=100

• Provide Credentials of your personas system
• It will take you to initial login screen
• Also, check whether it contains ‘P’ icon ( Screen Personas )

Step 5:

Execute "SU01" transaction in the command prompt

Step 6:

Click on “P” icon, Create a flavor for “SU01” transaction. It opens below screen

Step 7:

In our case “SU01_3.0” is the new flavor which we created as a copy to standard “SU01” transaction.

Step 8:

  We modified the flavor "SU01_3.0" as below

     i)   Introduced two new fields Full Name and Last Logon in the screen.

     ii)  Introduced Script button.( Details )

    iii)  Changed the background colors, Font colors etc..

Step 9:

Click on Scripting button as shown below

It will open the below screen, add the below code and replace the session id's with your screen session id's for ( Full Name and Last Logon Date ). Save it.

***************************************************************************************************

var uname=session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/ctxtSUID_ST_BNAME-BNAME").text;

var FM = session.createRFC("BAPI_USER_GET_DETAIL");

FM.setParameter("USERNAME",uname);

FM.requestResults(JSON.stringify(["ADDRESS","ADMINDATA","RETURN"]));

FM.send();

var address = JSON.parse(FM.getResult("ADDRESS"));

var admindata = JSON.parse(FM.getResult("ADMINDATA"));

session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/txtPersonas_1441340599673").text = address.FULLNAME;

session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/txtPersonas_1441340612163").text = admindata.TRDAT;

***********************************************************************************************

In the Script button “Details” , Import above script

Step 10:

Enter the user name and click on Details button, it will fetch the data using Remote Function module "BAPI_USER_GET_DETAIL" and populate the date in the respective fields

Note: This approach will also be help full for all other Remote Enabled Function Modules

We are done!

Hi all,

SAP GUI for Java 7.40 rev 6 is now available for download.

Enhancements and New Features

• Support for New OS Versions:
  • Fedora 23
  • openSUSE Leap 42.1
• SAP UI Landscape:
  • The landscape converter now also supports importing connections using load balancing from saplogon.ini without having a separate sapmsg.ini and services file.

  Bugfixes

• Enhanced Search:
  • With result lists targeted for multiple fields, it could happen that not all fields have been populated with the chosen value.
  • The input length now is always limited to what the backend will handle.
• DataProvider:
  • Uploading files with mass data including encoded characters in their file name did not work properly. Function module GUI_UPLOAD was affected.
• Calendar Control:
  • Selecting a date in the horizontal calendar has reported the wrong value.
• Focus:
  • The focus on controls in modal dialogs has been reported incorrectly. This for example resulted in usability issues with keyboard navigation in controls with actions involving round trips. 
• Signature Design:
  • When using a system dependent scheme, several components did not adjust their colors appropriately.
• High Contrast Theme:
  • Various rendering issues have been fixed.

For details please refer to the manual (chapter "6.2 Release Notes and System Requirements" and "2. Installation") of the PlatinManual and SAP note 2059424.

Please use Java 8 Update 40 or newer, because some known issues related to the Html control component have been addressed.

Planning information

SAP GUI for Java 7.30 is no longer supported. Therefore please upgrade to SAP GUI for Java 7.40.

For migrating your landscape configuration, please refer to the SAP UI Landscape Configuration Guide.

Best regards

Rolf-Martin Wörsinger

P.S. For feedback and questions, please post a new thread.

In case you want to report an issue, preferably create a support message on component BC-FES-JAV.

Recently, several customers and colleagues asked me about whether SAP Screen Personas has “responsive design”. The responsive design approach seeks to provide a great user experience, regardless of how a person is consuming the software. It became popular when people started consuming web applications across devices; they wanted comparable functionality whether using the software on a phone, tablet, or desktop computer.

SAP has embraced responsive design, including rolling out its own HTML5 libraries, and building products that incorporate responsive design. SAP’s best-known responsive interface is SAP Fiori.

Fiori separates the application logic from the user interface. The SAP business applications run and the Fiori applications access the data they need through a data services layer. This means you as the developer (or SAP) can write a modern web application that accesses the data and then provides a responsive modern design.

Of course, with SAP Screen Personas 3.0, we also embrace the responsive design approach. In contrast to Fiori, SAP Screen Personas is built into the foundation (kernel) and allows personalizing existing business transactions built in ABAP using the Dynpro framework. This is important to keep in mind because you have to build your design based on the existing, maybe even responsive, design of the transaction.

Your existing transaction can already have responsive elements like the tab strip or table in the display sales order transaction (VA03). When personalizing such a screen, you always need to be aware that your personalization can deactivate the existing responsive design. For example, by defining a fixed size for the tab strip. Or, your personalization might conflict with the responsiveness of the backend.

SAP Screen Personas offers a variety of options to adapt your application or screen to make you more productive. Each different version of a screen can be saved as a flavor, and, as an end-user you are able to manually switch between the flavors as you need. So, you as a user could decide that when you have a big screen, you prefer to use one flavor and when you have a small screen, you use another one.

In addition, SAP Screen Personas 3.0 has a quite powerful scripting engine which is intended to automate steps that you would usually do manually. So, you could automate the steps of switching the flavor based on the screen size which would lead to a responsive personalized application.

Let’s think about the steps, you as a user would do when you get to a screen or when the size of your screen (browser window) change

1. Check your screen size
2. Decide which flavor is the best fit
3. Switch to the flavor if it is not already used

In Personas scripting this would translate to:

// 1. Check your screen size
var screenSize, flavor;
screenSize = session.findById("wnd[0]").width;
// 2.Decide which flavor is the best fits
if (screenSize < 900) {    flavor = 'FLAVOR_ID_1';
} else if(screenSize > 1400) {     flavor = 'FLAVOR_ID_2';
} else {    flavor = 'FLAVOR_ID_3';
}
// 3. Switch to the flavor if it is not already used
if (flavor != session.info.flavorId) {    session.utils.changeFlavor(flavor);
}

Next, you need to make sure that this script is executed whenever your screen has changed. To do so, you can use the SAP Screen Personas Flavor Editor and bind the scripts to the corresponding screen events in all flavors you want to make responsive.

Note: With SP02, we introduced an onResize event that is only fired if a resizing of the screen happens, so you can keep your script separate from any other business logic that is to be executed on refresh events.

Finally, you have to choose your default flavor, the one that you assume to be opened most of the time, and, voila, you are done, you have applied the responsive design paradigm on a classic SAP transaction.

If you want to see an example, please watch the video below. It shows how to make the SAP Screen Personas 3.0 Admin transaction more responsive.

I cannot finish the post without also mentioning the possibility to make your screens more static. So, if you do not like the resizing of screen elements based on your screen size, maybe you don't even like that the screen changes its size based on the size of the browser window, then you should have a look at my favorite feature in the SAP Screen Personas Global Theming.

When building screens using SAP Screen Personas 3.0, we have a global theming option which makes it very easy to configure the size of the area that is available for rendering of your personalized screens.

Similar to many web platforms (SCN, or Wordpress, for example) you can make the content appear in the center of the screen at a fixed width and then the borders expand as the screen expands. Nevertheless, the look and feel of the original screen is defined by the application.

SAP Screen Personas gives your users the advantages of responsive design, within the desktop paradigm.
