What is Main Component

[Former Member]

Hi,

    Can anyone tell me what is main component and what is it's purpose.

Hi,

Main component encapsulates all the sub components. In a typical webui scenario,

Search view _S

Result view  _R

Detail View  _D

All the above components placed in _M maincomponent, this enables framework easy navigation between these views and back & forward system toolbar buttons taken care by framework itself. This is one best of practices in webui programming.

However, not every component will have main components.

Hope it helps.

Hi,

the word 'main component' is a very generic term.

there are different kinds of components like

web ui component

BOL component.

if we talk about webui then a main component would probably mean somthing like BT111H_OPPT for Opportunity header and BP_HEAD for BP.

We can use several other components in one main component through component usage.

example in BP_HEAD component several views of BP_DATA have been used.

if not clear please give more info about what are you trying to understand.

cheers

Hi,

Main Component means web component BT112M_SC.I want to know what is it's use and where we will use it.

This is actually main component for service contracts.

The webui comp BT112M_SC  does not have its own views but views from components BT112S_SC( component designed for adv search) and BT112H_SC(display header details of SC) have been embeded into it.you can oberve this from runtime repository.

BT112M_SC is launched initially coz it is connected via a logical link to the nav bar profile.
