Customizing FPM Appln

SAP applications can be customized to suit business requirements. Customizations are made in the customizing layer in Administration mode and are saved independently from the base configuration. The FPM framework loads any existing customizations automatically. Users need the S_DEVELOP or S_WDR_P13N authorization to access the customizing layer where they can make client-wide changes to components and define personalizable settings.

Customizing FPM Applications

SAP-delivered applications can be changed to suit a customer's own


business requirements. These changes, or customizings, are made in the
Web Dynpro ABAP customizing layer in Administration (Customizing)
mode.

All the changes made to an existing, explicit configuration in Administration


mode are saved as an independent delta of the configuration in the
customizing layer.

If a customizing for a component exists, the FPM framework automatically


loads this on to the application when the application is opened. If you try to
open a component customizing that does not acutally exist, the system
automatically assumes that you want to create one, and displays a dialog
box requiring a configuration name and a description for the new
customizing.

This level has a transport link that allows changes in the system landscape
to be transported.

Changes in Administration mode (those made on the customizing layer)


are modification-free changes. This is because when a new release or
enhancement package is imported, only the Web Dynpro development
layer is affected, and not the customizing layer.

Accessing the Customizing Layer


You access this layer by working in Administration (Customizing) mode.
For this, your user must have one of the following authorization objects
assigned:

 S_DEVELOP

With the authorization profile for ABAP Workbench, you can make
any and all changes to a user interface developed with Web Dynpro
ABAP/FPM. It provides you with access to both configuration and
customizing layers.

 S_WDR_P13N

This authorization object allows you to make changes to a Web


Dynpro application in Administrator mode.
Opening an Application in the Customizing Layer
Choose one of the following options to open an application in the
customizing layer:

 Locate the application configuration in transaction SE80 under Web


Dynpro FPM Application Configurations , and choose Web
Dynpro Configuration Test Execute in Administration
Mode from the main menu.
 Add the URL parameter sap-config-mode=x to the URL of the
running application.

NoteFor applications running in SAP Enterprise Portal or SAP NetWeaver


Business Client (NWBC) environments, it is often not possible to add a
URL parameter. In these environments, you can add the system
parameter FPM_CONFIG_EXPERT under System User Profile Own
Data Parameters in the system. Set the value of this parameter to A.

An FPM application running in the customizing layer displays the following


buttons on the main toolbar:

 Customize Page and Show Customizable Areas

Provide access to FLUID in Administration mode for the various


components of the application
Working in the Customizing Layer
Working in this layer, admininstrators can carry out the following activities:

 Make client-wide changes to components


 Define which settings can be overwritten on the personalization layer
by end-users
