Restarting Initial screen using a GAF component

[Former Member]

Hi Everyone,

Quick Background: I have developed a WD application that makes use of the FPM_GAF_COMPONENT. I have implemented interface IF_FPM_GAF_CONF_EXIT and coded method OVERRIDE_EVENT_GAF to dynamically choose which version of the application to display at runtime using the URL parameters of the WD application. The configuration constists of an initial screen and a couple of variants - each variant then contains at most 3 mainsteps.

The versions that are determined by the URL parameters at run-time are the following:

1) Application run for employee.

2) Application run for manager.

Based on the version this then populates a radio button group on my initial screen.

My initial screen has 3 options for employee- Create, display or modify. Then based on the selection here this will choose the correct variant to run.

The manager version only has one option display/action the item. Therefore the initial screen is skipped for this.

This all works fine, however say for instance my current state is version - Employee, variant 1(create) and mainstep 3(confirmation step), I want to allow the user to return to the initial screen, so that the user choose what to do next, is this even possible if so how?

I was thinking of using the YouCanAlso or RelatedLinks within the fpm interface?

Thanks in advance

Hi ,

You can fire the event to start over onece again.

data: lo_fpm type ref to if_fpm,

lo_event type ref to cl_fpm_event.

lo_fpm = cl_fpm=>get_instance( ).

lo_event = cl_fpm_event=>create_by_id( cl_fpm_event=>gc_event_start_over ).

lo_fpm->raise_event( lo_event ).

Hi,

Yes I tried that method as well as the goto_start method, but they didn't work.

It's okay however, I figured out a work around.

I used the get_current_state method and check if the variant was the variant I needed to change then I disable the approve and reject buttons and only allowed the user to press the previous button.

But still if someone know the answer to this, would be cool for my next client.
