Summary : This blog will cover to make hyperlink on specific field and display PDF document on CRM webUI screen in a popup window.

To achieve this functionality, we need to redefine P-method of the attribute with below code logic. I'll take an example of below technical objects to demonstrate the solution.

BSP component : BEABDH_BILLDOC, custom view : ZGOSATTACH, attribute TITLE


(In case, if not all the field value is required to be hyperlinked, then assign hyperlink property to specific field value with on-click event (here DISPLAY_DOC).
CONSTANTS : lc_description TYPE name_komp VALUE 'DESCRIPTION',
lc_atta TYPE string VALUE 'ATTA',
lc_display_doc TYPE string VALUE 'DISPLAY_DOC'.

CASE iv_property.
WHEN if_bsp_wd_model_setter_getter=>fp_fieldtype.
* If Description column is having value as 'ATTA' , then only create a hyperlink and route to DO_HANDLE_EVENT with event handler DISPLAY_DOC
* Only if there is any attachment, then only show the attachment contect in popup.
* In case of Notes and URL, it will be shown a value in Value column
IF collection_wrapper->find( iv_index = iv_index )->get_property_as_string( iv_attr_name = lc_description ) = lc_atta.
rv_value = cl_bsp_dlc_view_descriptor=>field_type_event_link.
ENDIF.
WHEN if_bsp_wd_model_setter_getter=>fp_onclick.
rv_value = lc_display_doc.
ENDCASE.

 

Next step, we need to create and activate one service in T-code SICF on following path: /default_host/sap/crm/

Don't forget to activate the service. It is an essential part of the functionality and could need to be manually activated in every SAP system (Dev/Quality/Production).


 

All the tabs will remain same except handler list, Create a new handler class by copying the class CL_CRM_PREVIEW_PDF framework and put the class name as a handler.


 

In newly created Z handler class, we need to modify both the methods IF_HTTP_EXTENSION~HANDLE_REQUEST and GET_PDF as per below to fulfill the requirements.

Method: IF_HTTP_EXTENSION~HANDLE_REQUEST
CONSTANTS : lc_scenario_p    TYPE string VALUE 'p',
lc_scenario TYPE string VALUE 'scenario',
lc_cache_control TYPE string VALUE 'Cache-Control',
lc_expires TYPE string VALUE 'Expires',

lc_doc_instid_b TYPE string VALUE 'doc_instid_b',
lc_pdf TYPE string VALUE '.pdf'.

DATA: lt_contents TYPE sdokcntbins,
lv_contenttype TYPE string,

lv_output_len TYPE i.

IF server IS BOUND.
* Read the scenario comes into HTTP Request
lv_scenario = server->request->get_form_field( lc_scenario ).
IF lv_scenario IS INITIAL.
CALL METHOD server->request->get_form_data
EXPORTING

CHANGING
data = lv_scenario.
ENDIF.

* If scenario is p which is set in BSP Component BEABDH_BILLDOC, Enhancement Set ZJD, View ZGOSAttachments, Event Handler EH_ONDISPLAY_DOC
* then only execute the below functionality
IF lv_scenario = lc_scenario_p.
DATA(lv_doc_id) = CONV so_entryid( server->request->get_form_field( lc_doc_instid_b ) ).

* Extract PDF data into XSTRING format to pass into HTTP response

IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
DATA(lv_file_size) = CONV sdok_fsize( lv_output_len ).

lv_contenttype = lc_text_plain.

LOOP AT lt_contents ASSIGNING FIELD-SYMBOL(<fs_contents>).
lv_size = lv_file_size - ( 1022 * ( sy-tabix - 1 ) ).

IF lv_size >= 1022.
lv_size = 1022.
ENDIF.

* output encoding to prevent XSS

server->response->append_data( data = lv_contents

ENDLOOP.
ENDIF.

ELSE.
* If there is no error and data is converted successfully in XSTRING format, set the content type as application/pdf
lv_file_size = lv_size.
lv_contenttype = lc_appl_pdf.

DATA(lv_filename) = lv_doc_id && lc_pdf .

* output encoding to prevent XSS

CLEAR : lv_contents,

* Pass below mandatory server response data and set the heaer fields
DATA(lv_contentdisposition) = lc_inline && lv_filename .
CALL METHOD server->response->set_header_field
EXPORTING

CALL METHOD server->response->set_header_field
EXPORTING

CALL METHOD server->response->set_header_field
EXPORTING

* Delete Cache control and Expires header fields to avoid any cache issue during popup launch

server->response->delete_header_field(
name = lc_cache_control ).

server->response->delete_header_field(
name = lc_expires ).
ENDIF.
ENDIF.

 

Method: GET_PDF
DATA: li_con_hex TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF solix.
CLEAR : ev_size,
ev_contents,
li_con_hex.

* Read the attachment content after passing INSTID_B value for the document, stored in GOS toolbar.
* Content is in the SOLIX format.
CALL FUNCTION 'SO_DOCUMENT_READ_API1'
EXPORTING
document_id = iv_docid
TABLES
contents_hex = li_con_hex
EXCEPTIONS
document_id_not_exist = 1
operation_no_authorization = 2

OTHERS = 4.
IF sy-subrc = 0.
TRY.
* Convert the SOLIX data into XSTRING format to pass into HTTP response
CALL METHOD cl_bcs_convert=>xtab_to_xstring
EXPORTING
it_xtab = li_con_hex
RECEIVING
rv_xstring = ev_contents.

ev_size = xstrlen( ev_contents ).
CATCH cx_bcs .
CLEAR ev_size.
ENDTRY.
ENDIF.

 

Now create event handler named DISPLAY_DOC in custom view of BSP component as a final step.

This concludes the functionality. Here in the column Title, the cell data ( First Copy.pdf, Second Copy.pdf and Third Copy.pdf ) which have attachments, will appear hyperlink and clicking on any of them will show PDF document in a popup window as below.
