Replace Search help from the field in FPM Feeder class

[Former Member]

Hello ,

My FPM Configuration using the feeder class CL_EHHSS_INC_INV_REQ_UI_FRM .

Componnet Name :  FPM_FORM_UIBB

Config Name : EHHSS_INC_REC_OIF_V3_BIA_NRQ_FRM

We have a requierement to change the standard search of data element { INV_LEAD_ID ] . I am able to find the node but not struture where we can change the search help at data element level.

Can any advice how can we proceed on that scenerio.

You need to enhance the feeder class to influence the F4 help. I hope you are not trying to actually enhancing the FPM WDA component.

Thanks for reply,

Basically this particular WD application using the concept of BOPF and i am not find the where i need to write the code ..

Can you please guide me how can i do this ...in which method and how ...as i m new in this concept.

Hi Shilpi,

You can override the F4 help through feeder class in GET_DEFINITION method of your application.

There you can write the code and provide the custom search help to DDIC_SHLP_NAME in ET_FIELD_DESCRIPTION parameter  ...

Thanks for reply Praveen

But i have checked thread that saying

But import and export of DDic Search help values to work in WDA, you must use the search help that is declared at the DDic structure level for the structure that is assigned to the context node.  By overriding the search help within the feeder class, we are breaking this link that the structure provided. We must change the search help and keep the import/export of parameters, then we must go to the underlying DDic structure and change its value help definition there.

This is will create issue ...

Can you please advice on that

Hi Shilpi,

Does your application/component configuration use FBI (FPM BOPF Integration) views?

Kind regards, Aliaksandr.

Hi Shilpi,

I guess, you are trying to assign search help to a dataelement of some UI field. If so please find below steps.

Solution 1 .

1. Right click on UI field to which you want to assign a new search help.

2. Select 'More field Help' or Technical help'.

3. Popup is displayed with technical information. You can see technical attributes / properties of UI   element

4. Check what is the type of UI element atribute - Value.

5. Now you can find the data element and change the search help.

Solution 2.

1. If you can find the node of Business Object in transaction /bobf/conf_ui

2. You can find the relevant structure in Extension Include property.

3. Find the required field / data element in this structure and assign search help.

Hope this will help.

Thanks,

Bharath.

Hi Shilpi,

Most of important parameter of applications which are based on FBI views is View-Exit class. It plays in FBI view role which is similar to role of Feeder class in FPM component configuration. Algorithm of View-Exit class searching you can find at this link.

View-Exit class has a method ADAPT_FIELDS. It has CT_FIELDS_LIST and CT_FIELDS_FORM parameters. These parameters contain definition for all fields which are used in component configuration. You can assign required search-help to any UI element by using DDIC_SHLP_NAME, OVS_NAME and WD_VALUE_HELP fields of these parameters.

If in your case View-Exit class is standard you can enhance ADAPT_FIELDS method and add additional logic.

I hope my answer will be helpful for you. If you have questions, don't hesitate and ask me.

Kind regards, Aliaksandr.

Hi Shilpi,

Unfortunately I don't have system where I can test your application. That is why I decided to offer you another approach. It has limitations, but...

As an example I will change search help for MATNR field of table.

1. Open table/structure in SE11 and append new structure.

2. In new structure press button "Show Appending Object".

3. Set cursor on required field and press button "Search Help".

4. Enter new search help name and press "Ok".

5. Activate.

If you have questions, don't hesitate and ask me.

Kind regards, Aliaksandr.

Hello ,

I am getting information message while changing search help.

" Search help can be changed only in appendig struct".

[Former Member · Accepted solution]

Hi Shilpi,

Go to BOBF based combined structure and give your search help there itself.

Thanks

Hi Praveen,

Are you referncing standard struture of node if so then we need access key for that ?

[Former Member · Accepted solution]

Hi Shilpi,

Yes , i am referncing structure of bobf node, then you need to enhance structure fields with CI (Customer Include) strucuture and use that field in your UI.

Thanks

Hi Shilpi,

If approach with appending structure doesn't work in your case you must return to GET_DEFINITION method of Feeder class.

I found the system where I can look objects which you want to change. Unfortunately I can't change in this system, but...

As I understood you try to change component configuration as in screen shot below.

Feeder class of this component configuration is CL_EHHSS_INC_INV_REQ_UI_FRM. GET_DEFINITION method is inherited from class CL_EHHSS_INC_PERSON_HOST_FRM. That is why you must created post-method (enhancement) in parent class.

Code in this method must look like as below.

   field-symbols: <s_field_descr> like line of et_field_description[].

   if me->mv_current_config_id = 'EHHSS_INC_REC_OIF_V3_BIA_NRQ_FRM'.

     read table et_field_description[] assigning <s_field_descr> with table key name = 'INV_LEAD_ID'.

     if sy-subrc = 0.

       <s_field_descr>-ddic_shlp_name = 'YOUR_NEW_DDIC_SEARCH_HELP'.

     else.

       append initial line to et_field_description[] assigning <s_field_descr>.

       <s_field_descr>-name = 'INV_LEAD_ID'.

       <s_field_descr>-ddic_shlp_name = 'YOUR_NEW_DDIC_SEARCH_HELP'.

     endif.

   endif.

Don't forget to insert your search help name. I hope this example will help you.

If you have questions, don't hesitate and ask me.

Kind regards, Aliaksandr.

Hello ,

I have tried this as well But all the paramters of search help is not visible .

As import and export of DDic Search help values to work in WDA, you must use the search help that is declared at the DDic structure level for the structure that is assigned to the context node.  By overriding the search help within the feeder class, we are breaking this link that the structure provided. We must change the search help and keep the import/export of parameters, then we must go to the underlying DDic structure and change its value help definition there.

[Aliaksandr · Accepted solution]

Hi Shilpi,

In this case you can try to use more complex approach.

1. Add new field in structure of business object node on which component configuration based on.

2. Assign to new field your new search help with mapping export/import parameters.

3. Replace old field in component configuration on new field by using customizing of component configuration.

4. Enhance business object and add new determination for required node which will be triggered on changing of new field and will transfer value from new field to old field.

Kind regards, Aliaksandr.

Hello ,

I have tried this and search help is cmg but value is not coming when i am selecting from search help.

I have req to save data of lead in Z table then display it as search help.. in standard table EHHSSD_INC_INRES it is saving with id and display search help in field as name...

Can you pls help me

[Aliaksandr · Accepted solution]

Hi Shilpi,

Unfortunately I didn't understand your answer.

Do you want to create new customizing table and store values for INV_LEAD_ID field in it?

If yes what exactly you can not do? Could you give me more clear picture of your problems?

Kind regards, Aliaksandr.

I am getting values in search  help also but wh

[Aliaksandr · Accepted solution]

Hi Shilpi,

I think it is not connected with search help exit. It looks like that you mapped import/export parameter of search help to structure fields wrong. According with first screen shot you mapped SNAME field of search help to "Investigation Lead" field in structure. In this case when you choose first line in search help it must return blank value if second - "SSS" value. Could you check it?

Kind regards, Aliaksandr.

Hi,

Changed that also still no value coming ... it is popoluating 'Unknown Person' from the exit ....

[Former Member · Accepted solution]

Hi,

I have added search help exit then value is coming to field but search is not working as expected.. because it is selected as per search help ...

Can you pls help to modify search help exit.

[Aliaksandr · Accepted solution]

Hi Shilpi,

Unfortunately I didn't understand what does it mean "selected as per search help".

I think as an example for search help exit you can use F4IF_SHLP_EXIT_EXAMPLE function module. It is quite good documented.

Kind regards, Aliaksandr.
