Employee search event name (EP7)

[Former Member]

Can anyone tell us what the technical name of the event is from the "employee search" iView in MSS. This iView replaces the "team viewer" that was used in previous versions.

We want to pass the employee number to a custom iView that we have developed but cannot find any documentation which has the name of the event that we need to subscribe to.

From sap help ; "Employee Search iView.

Managers select an employee in the Employee Search iView. Using <b>Eventing</b>, the Floorplan Manager informs the remaining iViews on the page that a new employee has been selected. The iViews obtain the personnel number of the selected employee and display the relevant information for this employee."

Fine - we know how to use "eventing" but need the event name!

Anyone happen to know it?

Thanks

Hi,

Please do find the event details below:

Event name : 'objectChanged'

Event namespace : 'urn:com.sap.pct.hcm.orgmanagement:CurrentObject'

Please do let me know if this resolves your issue.

Cheers

We are trying to do the same. What have you found?

The event namespace I found that seems to work is "urn:com.sap.mss.employeesearch" and the name is "selection_changed". I am assuming that you already know this now but we are having problems receiving the event in an ABAP Webdynpro.

I have another threadgoing

Basically, we have a test program and the ents from the employee search does not get received consistently.

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

Hi Salim,

thank you for yuor technical informations.

Suddenly I can't read source code of web dynpro applications you mentioned: at last we developed all custom iviews by Web Dynpro for ABAP but if you know the event name I'm looking for, it could be useful in a future.

Thanks and regards

Hi Lewis,

did you find a solution? I currently have the same problem.

Hi Thomas,

We did not get the answer we were looking for.

It seems that the SAP delivered self service apps. are written in Java Webdynpro so to extend them you really need to do this with Java Webdynpro and will need to have the java development environment installed. Once you have this you can easily view the code to find the event name.

We were hoping to use ABAP webdynpro as our development standard as this is the best fit with our skill set, so did not have the java development kit installed.

Now we will have to bit the bullet, install the JDK and get some java resources in!

Hi,

If, rather than using custom iviews, you want to build your own 'page' with standard SAP Webdynpro iview including 'Employee Search' do you know if you still need a JDI installed to do this? The documentation talks about Self Services Administrator.

Hi Lewis,

we are in the same trouble

We made an upgrade from mss 60.1 running on EP6 to mss 1.0 running on EP7 and, due to BP changes, we have to fix our custom application based on it.

Did you find the event name/namespace triggered by employee choice in "employee search" iview ?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

If you have the NWDI installed you could check out the dc for the General Data’ or ‘Personal Data’ components and have a look at the namespace and event that they subscribe to. They both event with the ‘Employee Search’.

Cheers
