ABAP RESTful programming copy action- Item Level

[former_member791502]

Hello All,

I am building application using fiori elements on S4HANA 2021 onPremise. I have followed link for CopyTravel on help sap and it working perfectly fine and creating new request ID but not navigating to the newly created request.

Is it that I am using copy function on item level there is issue with navigation or can anyone help me hoe can i modify result parameter to navigate to new request some how .

Thanks

Hi Tisha,

I have implemented copy action, and it navigates me correctly to the newly created item. Could you share the action definition and implentation?

Thanks,

Hey Tisha,

Have you found a solution to the problem?

Hello Tisha,

When you are creating new instance ( Copy ) , Then the action must be

1. Factory action
2. Result cannot be "$self " but actual entity zi_rtr_sams_asset_storage
3. "Result" parameter needs to be mapped ( seems you are still doing as I can see the logic is commented )

I think point # 1, 2 can help that are missing currently.

Best wishes,

Ramjee Korada

I tried all possible above ways and still it doesnot seem to work.

Hi Tisha

So, this is not an `instance factory` action?

I have a similar action and implementation looks like this. `mapped` from `MODIFY ENTITIES.... CREATE...` is passed to `mapped` parameter of action.

For each `key`, corresponding `result` is filled.

"-- MODIFY ENTITIES OF .... CREATE.... MAPPED ... FAILED.... REPORTED ... 
    .
    .
    .

    mapped    = CORRESPONDING #( DEEP ls_mapped ).
    failed    = CORRESPONDING #( DEEP ls_failed ).
    reported  = CORRESPONDING #( DEEP ls_reported ).

    READ ENTITIES OF ZR_HeaderEntityTP
      ENTITY Header
        ALL FIELDS WITH CORRESPONDING #( mapped-header )
        RESULT DATA(created_header).

    CHECK created_header IS NOT INITIAL.

    "-- Map results to importing keys -> Important to open the new draft instance in edit mode
    " navigation will not work if key and result are not mapped correctly
    INSERT INITIAL LINE INTO TABLE result ASSIGNING FIELD-SYMBOL(<result>).
    <result>        = CORRESPONDING #( keys[ 1 ] ).
    <result>-%param = CORRESPONDING #( created_header[ 1 ] ).

What confuses me in your coding is that -

Looks like the action is defined on the `storage` entity. so, $self is the `storage` entity? But, you want to navigate to `storage item` entity when it is copied?

Hope this helps.

Yes I want tp navigate to header once all the data is copied or same page is fine but it should navigate newly created request

Maybe you should post an excerpt from the code of your Behavior Definition (BDEF) to answer the question how your action is actually defined.

Hello Tisha

Please check if you are mapping the %CID coming in your payload back to "mapped" parameter correctly along with created instance's %TKY component group.

Without this, UI would not know which instance was created for the %CID and hence would not be able to navigate to that instance.

For Copy action on item level navigates to created instance's draft page without any issue.

If all this looks good, please provide the coding of Copy action, that might be helpful to identify the issue.

Below is my code . Can you help me figure out what is wrong here ?
