Unable to save values in GENIL for newly created AET fields

[Former Member]

Dear Experts,

we have requirement where in we have created few AET fields in BTADMINI. now upon saving my order i have written a piece of code in EH_ONSAVE where in i am writting the values for these fields using set_property. I can see the new values in entity but these values are not passed on to genil and i dont see the same when i check in genil_bol_browser. . The attaribute of these field and entity are changebale. your help will be appreciated.below is the code that i have used.

data: lr_core type ref to cl_crm_bol_core,
lr_query type ref to CL_CRM_BOL_QUERY_SERVICE,
LR_RESULT TYPE REF TO IF_BOL_ENTITY_COL,
LR_ENTITY TYPE REF TO cl_crm_bol_entity,

LV_TRANSACTION TYPE REF TO if_bol_transaction_context.

DATA:   lt_parameters    TYPE        crmt_name_value_pair_tab,
ls_parameters    TYPE        crmt_name_value_pair.

* Get the BOL Core instance

lr_core = cl_Crm_bol_core=>get_instance( ).

* Load the component set
LR_CORE->LOAD_COMPONENT_SET( 'BT' ).

* Create the query instance by passing the search object name
lr_query = CL_CRM_BOL_QUERY_SERVICE=>get_instance(
iv_query_name = 'BTQuery1O' ).

* Add the selection parameters

ls_parameters-name = 'OBJECT_ID'.
ls_parameters-value = LV_OBJID.

APPEND ls_parameters TO lt_parameters.

CALL METHOD lr_query->set_query_parameters
EXPORTING
it_parameters = lt_parameters
iv_convert    = abap_true.

*Get the result list
LR_RESULT = LR_QUERY->GET_QUERY_RESULT( ).

* Get the first object(entity) in the result list
LR_ENTITY ?= LR_RESULT->get_current( ).
LR_ENTITY ?= LR_ENTITY->get_related_entity( iv_relation_name = 'BTOrderHeader' ).
LR_ENTITY ?= LR_ENTITY->get_related_entity( iv_relation_name = 'BTHeaderItemsExt').
LR_ENTITY ?= LR_ENTITY->get_related_entity( iv_relation_name = 'BTOrderItemAll').

* Lock and modify the property
if  LR_ENTITY->lock( ) = if_genil_Boolean=>true.

*Change the fields
LR_ENTITY->set_property( iv_attr_name = 'ZZFLD00000Y' iv_value = LV_OBJID ).
LR_ENTITY->set_property( iv_attr_name = 'ZZFLD00000Z' iv_value = LV_OBJID ).

*Core
LR_CORE->modify( ).
LV_TRANSACTION = lr_core->get_transaction( ).
*LV_TRANSACTION = LR_ENTITY->get_transaction( ).
LV_TRANSACTION->save( ).
LV_TRANSACTION->commit( ).

endif

Thanks & Regards,

PS : the same code is working in my own system but in the client system it is not working. Is there any additional setting ?

Hi Ameet,

Try methods activate_sending( ) and switch_to_change_mode( ).

Before setting property, call switch_to_change_mode( ). After this call method activate_sending( ).

You can also try calling method reread( ) after modify( ).

Hope this helps.

Have you redefined EH_ONSAVE ? If yes then you haven't called super->save method (also then you would not need to expliciltly call save ).

Hi Kavindra,

Its not working even if i write the code as a separate report. then also data is not getting saved. As i mentioned earlier I am not able to change the values in genil_bol_browser in edit mode. probably if we get this sorted i think it would work. but i am not sure how.

Thanks & Regards,

Ameet

Hi Ameet ,

I think the problem occurs because the fields are not editable. Try this

if lv_entity->is_Changeable = abap_true ( ). This statement should return false in your case.

lv_entity->set_property_as_string(   ...... ).

endif.

If the property is not changeable , then either the property is set

a) GET_I_<attr_name>

b) Maintained in the GENIL class.

And since the field is added through AET , GET_I_<attr_name> would not help. Hence I guess the properties returned from GENIL are causing the issue. I am surprised how this can happen.

Just Try this iv_display_mode_support = abap_true during the BOL core startup. This may help.

Hi Amit,

In the code You have used BTOrderItemAll which is having 1:N relationship, so Get Related Entity will always returns the first entity from Collection.

Try below code.

data:lr_coll type ref to if_bol_bo_col.

lr_coll ?= lr_entity->get_related_enitites( iv_relation_name = 'BTOrderItemAll' ).
lr_entity ?= lr_coll->get_first( ).

while lr_entity is bound.

LR_ENTITY->set_property( iv_attr_name = 'ZZFLD00000Y' iv_value = LV_OBJID ).
LR_ENTITY->set_property( iv_attr_name = 'ZZFLD00000Z' iv_value = LV_OBJID ).
lr_entity ?= lr_coll->get_next( ).

endwhile.

As you are writing this logic in EH_ONSAVE,

LV_TRANSACTION->commit( ) is not required.

HI Tejaswini,

Thanks for the reply.

I did check and changed the code as per the one that you have sent. However the issue still remains. I just want to add that the field I want to update is an AET field.

I can see the value getting changed in lr_entity but the same is not getting flushed to genil.

methods  check_save_possible( ) and  check_save_needed( ) all return value 'true'.

Thanks & Regards,

Hello Ameet,

You have written below code after setting field values in entity:--

LV_TRANSACTION = lr_core->get_transaction( ). // it is not correct.
*LV_TRANSACTION = LR_ENTITY->get_transaction( ).
LV_TRANSACTION->save( ).
LV_TRANSACTION->commit( ).

it should be ,

lr_core->modify( ). // this method of bol core is delegated to MODIFY method of relevant genil component.

lv_transaction = lr_entitty->get_transaction( ).

check lr_transaction->check_save_needed eq abap_true.

check lr_transaction->check_save_possible eq abap_true.

if lr_transaction->save( ) = abap_true. // explicit call of save method of transaction context is forwarded to the genIL. system reads transaction context and calls SAVE method of genil component.

lr_transaction->commit( ).

else.

lr_transaction->rollback( ).

endif.

Try it out.

Thanks,

Hi Amit,

Thanks for the reply.

However even after the changes suggested by you. Its not working. The values are not getting flushed to GENIL.

The same piece of code is working perfectly fine in my own system (sandbox) but not in client system.

Thanks & Regards,

Hello Ameet,

Did u check the property of AET field in client system. Is it changeable??

Is it N or Y? Please check.

Thanks,

Hi Amit,

It is set as "Not Defined".

I have observed one thing that in the entity the attribute ref becomes initial after calling LR_CORE->modify( ). I am not sure why this should happen.

Just to add that i checked genil_bol_browser in change mode and there also i am not able to save the data in my custom field. any idea on how to deal with this ?

Thanks & Regards,

Ameet
