NWGW - Multi Level $expand not expanded 2nd entity

[former_member587238]

Hi all,

I am trying to implement a multi level expand (EntityA$expand=EntityB/EntityC) but it is not working for the entity C - it is returning blank).

I can see in debug that the entityset, from the expand method, is being overwritten by a 5 column entity set from standard SAP (only showing entity A and ToItems (Entity B)).

My expand logic is filling the data correctly.

Results:

URL:

../TrolleyHeaderSet?$expand=ToItems/ToMaterials

SEGW:

Association:

Expand code:

Have you tried using $expand=EntityB,EntityB/EntityC ?

[former_member587238]

Just tried now, still no results for EntityC

Refer Blog

Refer to my screenshots. You will see I have done exactly what the blog you posted states.

Hi James!

Nice to talk to you again.

Not sure what version of Gateway you have but have you tried looking at some relevant SAP notes - this one in particular 2087759 - Empty result on $expand although data exists

If not valid, does it work when you select for EntityB expanding on EntityC?

Hi Oli,

Thanks for the response - I assume Larry poked you?!

We are using 740 18 (SAPK-74018INSAPGWFND).

EDIT: EntityB?$expand=EntityC works fine..!

[former_member600217]

I am also facing the similar issue.what is the solution for multi level expand as my last entity is empty though it has data.

Hi,

It may be because your implementation of $expand is getting over written by standard framework's implementation because framework is not recognizing that you have handled the third level expand with custom code.

In such cases, please check what is getting appended to et_expanded_tech_clauses.

You should append as below

Append 'ENTITYB' to et_expanded_tech_clauses.

Append 'ENTITYB/ENTITYC' to et_expanded_tech_clauses.

Sadly this does not work either..
