Pass message details to Message Manager on-the-fly - how to do with Exception?

[Former Member]

Hi WD4A developers,

I would like to ask if there is a feature in Message Manager that would allow passing additional Detailed Information about message reported,

like in the scenario below:

I report a message like:

lr_mess_man->report_error_message( lr_cx ).

Where lr_cx is an exception thrown few lines of code above.

Now I can see error message on the screen, along with Display details link.

Once I press the link - popup window is displayed with message details.

Is it possible to report message through Message Manager passing additional text built on-the-fly,

passing the Exception object? I would like to determine message parameters, like long description "Something went wrong when working with object &1. Please contact your helpdesk."
or something like that.

I would really appreciate comments on that.

Regards,

bob

Hi All,

I solved the problem in a simple way.

1. I define a non self explanatory message in message class. I create a long text for the message with parameters.

2. I implement interface IF_T100_MESSAGE in my exception class

3. I am reporting an exception like:

        RAISE EXCEPTION TYPE etype       

          EXPORTING textid = etype=>message_symbol
          msgv1 = lv_msgv1...

          ...other message parameters

2. In application I simply call

  ri_message_manager->report_exception( exception_object ).

Regards,

Piotr

Bob,

I hope there is no such feasibility, am not sure.

but you can achieve this like below also. (by visible / invisible concept)

1. Create a TransparentContainer UI element and make its visibility to an attribute

2. Insert LInkToAction UI element into created TC(TransparentContainer)

3. Write your popup generation code inside this LInkToAction - Action. (Here you can design your message/view with required format)

4. Whenever you face Exception / Error, you can simple visible the TC, else you can hide.

Hope this can be helpful.

Hi Bob,

IF_WD_MESSAGE_MANAGER doesn't have any method that accepts an ABAP exception as an argument. I'm not aware of any way currently to tell a web dynpro component to use a custom class as the message manager object for the MessageArea UI element, but if that capability existed sometime in the future I suppose you could then write a custom subclass of CL_WDR_MESSAGE_MANAGER with custom methods and use it instead of the default message manager class.

The "display details" link within a message is only displayed for messages defined in SE91 as not self-explanatory, and the link brings the user to the message's long text.

Given all this, it might be useful to you to use method IF_WD_MESSAGE_MANAGER->REPORT_T100_MESSAGE and pass it a custom message object which has long text defined and is not self-explanatory.

Cheers,

Amy
