Some problems with OTR in BSP

[Former Member]

Hello,

I have got the following problems with BSP and the NW 07abap Trial: hope somebody can help:

1.

When I call the transcation SE63, I have got a different transaction then it is shown at this blog (Pricture 4 and 5):

/people/sap.user72/blog/2005/04/15/bsp-howto-exploring-bsp-development-with-mvc-4

I can only go to Translation->Abap-Objects->Short texts

After that I get another popup window where I can SOTR OTR-Short texts

I get to some different screen: instead of a package and the Text from OTR I have to select an "object name" and a "translation area".

Is there any other transaction there I can translate the OTR? Or is there any way I can switch my transcation back to the transaction in the blog?

2.

I've created a BSP-Site with Flow Logic where an input field t_start is included (The user has to input a date in it). In the event-handler of the site (OnInputProcessing) the date should be checked if the user has not typed in a date that is before sy-datum. If the date is before sy-datum a message should appear to the screen to inform the user. Here is the source code:

******************************************************

IF t_start < sy-datum.

MESSAGE = cl_bsp_get_text_by_alias=>get_text( alias = 'y_abap_demo/errstart' language = sy-langu ).

page->messages->add_message( condition = 't_start' message = message severity = page->messages->co_severity_error ).

ENDIF.

******************************************************

I started the page with the debugger to see what is happening: Here is the get_text method:

******************************************************

method GET_TEXT .

SYSTEM-CALL OTR GET_TEXT_BY_ALIAS LANGUAGE

language ID alias NR '0001' TEXT INTO alias_text.

endmethod.

******************************************************

If I check the variables in the debugger, I can see that language and alias are filled correctly but after the operation (when the cursor of the debugger stands at the endmethod) the alias_text is still empty.

I filled the alias_text manually in the debugger (Typing a value 'testerrormsg' in it). And it worked. The testerrormsg appeared at the screen.

Why has not the alias_text filled properly?

The 2. problem has been solved.

The parameters of the get_text method are case-sensitive.

Instead of

MESSAGE = cl_bsp_get_text_by_alias=>get_text( alias = 'y_abap_demo/errstart' language = sy-langu ).

I should have used

MESSAGE = cl_bsp_get_text_by_alias=>get_text( alias = 'Y_ABAP_DEMO/ERRSTART' language = sy-langu ).

@Raja: I have tried the sotr_edit but there is also a problem:

When I select an alias in the original language (German), I can display and change it.

But when I select the same alias with a different language (e.g. English), I get a popup message that there is no entry found when trying to display or change the alias. When I hit the create-button I get an error-message "The alias name already exists".

How can I add another language to an alias with the sotr_edit?

Hello Raja,

the problem has not been solved.

The se63 should look like this:

My se63 looks like this:

What do I have to input at the object name to edit my otr(y_package/myotr)?

[raja_thangamani]

Did you use SOTR_EDIT? use Alias as "y_package/myotr" in your case.

#1. in SE63, follow the pass: Translation>Abap Objects>Shot texts. In pop up click on " OT OTR". Here you can see the screen for tranlation. You can also use Tcode SOTR_EDIT, here you can create the translation, change the OTR.

#2. Try using below code

<i>CALL METHOD CL_BSP_RUNTIME=>GET_OTR_TEXT

EXPORTING

ALIAS = 'y_abap_demo/errstart'

RECEIVING

TEXT = MESSAGE.</i>
