SAPlink

the sap link have some problem to deal with asian language or other non-ascii language.

we can add codepage = '4102' in the gui_download gui_upload export parameters

First of all, congrats for making this very very useful tool. I'm sure all developers will celebrate this creation.

I have found an error in the application though, and I'd like to comment it to you and let you know about it.

I implement the SAPLINK program in a SAP system with ECC 6.0 version and If you try to add the technical settings of a table into the nugget file, this action rise an runtime error (CALL_FUNCTION_PARM_UNKNOWN) with the exception CX_SY_DYN_CALL_PARAM_NOT_FOUND.

This plugin builds the class ZSAPLINK_TABLE_TECHNICAL_SETTINGS and this class contains a method (CREATEIXMLDOCFROMOBJECT) witch calls function 'DDIF_TABT_GET' with 2 inbound parameters: NAME and LANGU.

In ECC 6.0 version the second parameter is STATE (opcional), not LANGU. So this function must be called only with the first inbound parameter (NAME). I make the change and it works perfectly.

 Best regards,

Jose.

Hello, and firstly, congratulation for this great tool. I'm working on a simple "nugg viewer", that is a little application made in Flex and using the AIR runtime... More information here:  http://pierregodart.blogspot.com/.

Hi,

 tried to instal SapLink on customer system - installed the zsaplink_installer, uploaded the basic .nugg plugin, tried to activate all of Saplink parts - and got error that method CHECKEXISTS is not implemented. Any suggestions?

Hi, SapLink developers!

Firstly thanks for such good tool!)

Working with it, i have found a bug:
When we moving a table from ixml to object(system) the table maintenance dialog is also moved.
This dialog is a simple function group(like standard 'svim') BUT with standard includes. So every time the tool askes a key to change the standard. If we press cancel button we will see dump report. Entering the key is also not a good idea because in different systems we have different includes(because of the packs e.t.c.), so in many cases we will crash our system.

Out solution is to perform additional check before moving these includes. We implement it in the method 'CREATE_INCLUDES' of class ZSAPLINK_FUNCTIONGROUP.
Here is the code:

method CREATE_INCLUDES.

Hello.
There is a new Plugin available at sub project saplink-bw (http://code.google.com/p/saplink-bw/downloads/list). It enables you to
extract BI hierarchies from a system and import it back again to
either the same or another system. (i.e. for backups or
synchronization of systems).

Feel free to download it and give it a try.

SAPLINK WARNING:

Hello all,

Please be aware that if you are not on the latest SAP VersionRelease/Support Packs/Enhancements that some of the SAPLINK projects will not compile in your system!!  We learned this "the hard way" by downloading the JSON ABAP Class project and found that the latest Nugget did not compile because the syntax used in defining the Class was not recognized by our version of SAP.  The problem is that we needed this newest version of the Nugget (theProject states "download the newest version (the older version have serious bugs!!))..  So we were stuck... We could not download the older version because it had serious bugs, and we could not download the newest version since it does not compile in our system!

I thought I would share this with everyone just to be aware...

Thanks, Chris

Dear Chris,

as SAPlink is Open Source Project I would like to encourage you to help fixing this issues. Please provide a detailed bug report including the exact BASIS and ABA release levels of the Sytem you're using in the SAPlink Project Issue tracking. All the work on SAPlink is done voluntarily. If SAPlink was successfully activated on your system and you had problems with the ZJSON nugget, then please use the Issue tracking of that project.

I hope that you can help us to solve the issues and be a happy SAPlink user again.

Best regards
Gregor Wolf

Hello Ed, Daniel, Gregor,

New for me. Looks really great. Is this for sharing only the custom objects? Does it also consider SAP delivered standard objects?

Is this still live, in terms of development?

Regards,

Manoj

I installed saplink and loaded the latest NUGG_SAPLINK.nugg  (Build 388). The tool works greate for ABAP-classes and apparently reports are supported as well. For all other development objects I get in the tranport requests selection screen the indication that no plugin is installed. If I check the plugin list on www.saplink.org all other plugins are deprecated. Especially a plugin for BSPs would be very helpful for me.

Thank and kind regards,

Uwe

I am trying to find a plug-in for putting the ALV layouts into a nugget. When I execute the ZSAPLINK program, I am getting a message saying "No Plug-in Available". I have downloaded the latest plug-ins from the link (mentioned in this site – SAPLink Wiki) https://www.assembla.com/code/saplink/subversion/nodes. Am I missing anything?

The transport contains the following customizing table contents: R3TR / TDAT / LT_VARIANT

What would be the best way to get this done? Is there a plug-in available?

Best Regards.. Balaji

I am trying to install the ZSAPLINK and it will not activate.  I am getting the error "The abstract method "CHECKEXISTS" can only be implemented after its redefinition (METHODS CHECKEXISTS REDEFINITION)".  I have tried activating the classes individually and it still does not work.   I am on an ECC 6.0 box with SAP_BASIS 740 Patch 9.

Do you have any idea why this is not working?

I'm having the same issue as Vince is having in the comment just above this one. Could somebody please assist, or Vince, if you've figured this out by now could you let me know what you did? I had to activate all the classes manually, and in a random sort of order, but this last one just will not activate (class is ZSAPLINK_CLASS).

Thanks! 

Mr.Gregor,

Is the SAPLINK project still going? There do not seem to have been any commits for many months. Is the "assembla" still the correct place to look or has it moved to GITHUB or some such?

I ask because I found a bug whereby you cannot move a custom class if it has an event with parameters which comes from an implemented interface. Anyway, I fixed this problem in my local copy of SAPLINK and wish to share this fix with the rest of the universe.

I followed that "project issue tracking" link above and saw a list of issue but not a button to add a new one. I wondered if it was because I did not have an avengers assembla account so pressed the "try assembla" button and its started asking for money so I backed out just as fast as I could!

How do you suggest I proceed?

Cheersy Cheers

Hi, congratulations on creating SAPlink, it is a very useful tool!

I would like to know which folder contains the lastest version of SAPlink. 

Hope somebody helps me, i am confused.

Thanks!

Hi,

I'm trying to download a plugin from https://www.assembla.com/spaces/saplink/wiki/SAPlink_plugin_list, but it seems that the host is unavaliable. 

Is it possible to download it?

I want to create a nugget for Function Groups.

• Function Groups (FUGR)

Hi Gregor, i would like to know if SAPlink works in a minisap (SAP EHP 2 for SAP NetWeaver 7.0). Im trying to activate all the objects but it is not possible. I hope you can guide me. Thanks a lot!

Hi,

Is SAPLink still  used and supported? Because here are still some object types missing that have no plugin yet, and I don't see much develiopment in the plugins and sources.
I still miss support for example:

• CHDO
• NROB
• SHI3
• SOTS
• TOBJ

Is there any chance that there will be plugins for those available in SAPLink?

... also missing are:

• AQBG
• AQQU
• AUTH
• CMOD
• DSYS
• PRIN
• SUSC
• SXCI
• W3MI
• XINX

Hi Gregor,

So finally I made a view slnk-Files to enhance SAPLink-functionality. abapGit doesn't work for me, as I cannot connect to the place from my SAP-installation at work, even with the certificates installed as suggested. A pity, because abapGit got more Object-Types added, and is much more modern ABAP-like, but as connecting is impossible I have to stick to SAPLink. If you're interested you can download the files from here http://ul.to/41bwf0pl. It contains additions for the Object-types: NROB, SHI3, SOTR, SOTS, SSST and TOBJ. (SOTR already existed, but I reworked it a bit.) The code is mainly based on the abapGit-versions.

Please note, that original language of these Classes is German, but you can change these easily, if you want to include the files to the official plugins.

Anyways, they work for me, and thanks for adressing me to abapGit, as there's much good coding there to be found.

All the best
Michael

Gregor,

Not sure if I should place this here but the project website seems to be malfunctioning. I'm being forwarded from saplink.org to assembla, but I can't find any source code or plugins. Is the site abandoned?

Cheers and thanks for all the hard work on initiatives like these!

Really nice work! 

As there is always a need to implement basically the same coding for SAPlink Plugins and abapGit in order to support object types why would you not team up?
Whats really missing in abapGit is a decent eclipse support. 

Basically replacing the SAPLink calls in the SAPLink Eclipse Plug in with calls to abapGit on the backend.
Then I would only need to find out how to get syntax coloring for abap on offline files in eclipse like in notepad++ or jEdit. 

Finally why I tried abapGit was because the installation of SAPLink via Eclipse failed on the SAP system where I tried it. I then tried to manually fix it by importing the most recent .nugg files in SAP GUI but I ended up having a working SAPLink within the SAP GUI but an Eclipse Plugin telling me that SAPLink is not installed and when trying to reinstall via Eclipse it tells me that the ZSAPLINK_INSTALLER is already there. Deleting it is also no solution. Might be due to the VPN so I have to try it in the local network again.

Although I hate endless reports, abapGit is way easier to set up  

Hello Experts,

I found ZSAPLINK_INSTALLER program.
I used SAPlink_Daily.nugg to install the plugins

 But this file has no class ZSAPLINK which is a super class for all the plugin classes and hence the installation results in dump.

So I need code for Class ZSAPLINK class and also executable Program ZSAPLINK which can be used to import or export the objects.

I am not able to find in https://app.assembla.com/spaces/saplink/subversion/source/HEAD or any related sites.

Please if anyone can provide the code for above class and program .

Thanks in advance.
