How do i implement showShare property in SAPUI5 Variant Management ?

[Jayakrishnan]

Hi Everyone,

We are working on Custom SAPUI5 Application Development. In my requirement, i need to implement Variant Management functionality. I Implemented it by following the below blog.

Blog URL:

Variant management using shell services

Variant Management

I have not used SmartControls and Filter bar.

I did most of the part by following the above blog. But i am unable to make my variant user specific.

When i read the properties for variant-management control, it has showShare property(public and private). i enabled it in the view.

But i dont know how to implement it. I dont see any method is available to make it global or private in the shell personlaizarion service.

Screen 1:

When i create i chose as Public:

Screen 2:

Re-opening my app from FLP.

Code:

	saveVariant: function (sVariantName, bDefault, bGlobal, oFilterData, fnCallBack) {
			// save variants in personalization container
			this._oPersonalizationContainer.fail(function () {
				// call back function in case of fail
				fnCallBack(false);
			});
			this._oPersonalizationContainer.done(function (oPersonalizationContainer) {
				var oPersonalizationVariantSet = {},
					oVariant = {},
					sVariantKey = "";
				// check if the current variant set exists, If not, add the new variant set to the container
				if (!(oPersonalizationContainer.containsVariantSet("MyApplicationVariants"))) {
					oPersonalizationContainer.addVariantSet('MyApplicationVariants');
				}
				// get the variant set
				oPersonalizationVariantSet = oPersonalizationContainer.getVariantSet('MyApplicationVariants');


				//get if the variant exists or add new variant
				sVariantKey = oPersonalizationVariantSet.getVariantKeyByName(sVariantName);
				if (sVariantKey) {
					oVariant = oPersonalizationVariantSet.getVariant(sVariantKey);
				} else {
					oVariant = oPersonalizationVariantSet.addVariant(sVariantName);
					if (bDefault === true) {
						oPersonalizationVariantSet.setCurrentVariantKey(oVariant.getVariantKey());
					}
					// if (bGlobal === true) {
					// 	oVariant.setShowShare(true);
					// }
				}
				if (oFilterData) {
					oVariant.setItemValue("Filter", oFilterData);
				}
				oPersonalizationContainer.save().fail(function () {
					//call callback fn with false
					fnCallBack(false);
				}).done(function () {
					//call call back with true
					fnCallBack(true);
				}.bind(this));
			}.bind(this));
		},

How do i handle it?

Thank you,

Regards,

JK.

As per the below information from SAP Note, we cannot implement showShare feature using the non-smart ui controls. is that right?
