iViews to R/3 Infotypes

[Former Member]

How can I tell how an iView relates to an Infotype in R/3?

Address iView in ESS to Address Infotype in R/3 which is easy. However, other iViews are not so obvious is there somewhere that tells you how they relate to each other?

Hi Stuart,

If you are working on ESS and MSS BP's these BP's work only when we do the backend configuration on HR module.In the HR module, the information is stored in infotypes. So, obviously for these iviews, information is stored in infotypes.

You can however check the list of infotypes,

Go to SE11 - T582S and it will display the infotypes.

Let me know if this is handy or you need any further clarification on the same.

Thanks!

For example in ESS the Address iView relates to the Address Infotype in R/3.

However, in the PCD there is an iView called Communication, how do I know what Infotype that relates to in R/3 by looking on the iView?

Also it's quite obvious when configuring the Homepage Framework you populate the Application Parameters in PCD with the revelevant code for example <b>sap.xss.menuargrp=ZSAPDEFAULTESS_ERP2005&sap.xss.menuhdr=SAPDEFAULT&sap.xss.menunobuffer=true</b>

So taking into accout the Communication iView what needs to be populated in the Application Parameters for it to be viewable in ESS, or does something else need to be populated?
