Enhancements to the customer includes in the infotypes

[Former Member]

Hello,

Just like as bsp application takes care of rendering fields added in the infotype using customer includes. For example class cl_hrrcf_ui_services does provide a method from bsp perspective. this method is offered from e-recruiting which make use of a function provided by bsp .

1.Does webdynpro for abap offer the same support of rendering fields added to customer inclides in candidate related infotypes? What is the best approach to enhance candidate related infotypes or candidate scenario ?

2. Incase if the fields added to customer include does not get reflected as in bsp scenario's . What should be the approach so that support pack can still be applied even if the changes are made

in structure, methods of core class, webdynpro application for the enhancement done to incorporate additional fields of infotype?

thanks in advance

Hello pooja,

for enhancing candidate data in web dynpro using the enhancement functions seem to be a good solution. Although these functions are still undergoing developments / improvements they have a lot of potential.

You create the CI_INCLUDE for the candidate infotype then you enhance the web dynpro contexts and data mapping. You can also enhace the view to bring the new fields to the frontend. The data handling functions can be aenhanced sometimes (i have to admit that this is the point where you sometimes still have to do a modification due to the method structure in the controller and the lack of replacement methods being able to access private attributes or methods).

I made good expirience in one project with it and am currently using this solution in other projects as it seems to be much less effort necessary to upgrade / patch this than complete modification.

Hi Roman,

thanks alot for the information. Do you have the document about enhancement functions? What do you use to do incase if you modified a structure or some code changes. did you create Z class and worked with it. in this case support pack wont be applicable.

I am not clear with your last sentence what is the strategy you are folllowing in webdynpro scenario which is easing you in doing modification.

Could you please let me know when you find time.

thanks

Pooja
