Problems with collective search help

Hello SDNers,
I was working with collective search help.
Ex : zc_srch1 (Collective)
In the 'Include search help' i have included 2 search elementary search
help
Ex : zsrc1 and zsrc2 (both elementary)
I have also assigned the parameter assignment for each included search help.
I have also mentioned the search help parameter under definition tab
Ex field form zsrch1 and field1 from zsrch2
and also checked the import and export checkboxes.
Now i have used the search help in the abap program
ex: tmp type field1 matchcode object zc_srch1.
Now when i execute the program the collective search help is getting populated. when i try to choose a value it is not getting selected to the parameter box.

Problem with ALV search help Dictionary Search Help

Hello experts
I have a problem with ALV search help.
I use DDIC table ZXXX with text table ZXXX_T. I created DDIC search help form table ZXXX. In my WD application, in context on COMPONENTCONTROLLER i set on attribute: 'Input help mode' as 'Dictionary Search Help' and in 'Dictionary Search Help' I pass name of new created DDIC search help.
I create a input field from that atrribute and search help works fine (there was a value and description for value from text table). So I created ALV witch contains that attribute too.
Next I set column for this attribute in ALV as editable but on Serch help for this collumn I have only value. I DON'T HAVE TEXT DESCRIPTION FOR VALUE.
Please help me and tell me what I do wrong?
Miko

Hello,
Thank's for your help. I create DDic Search help for all fields from my ALV. Next I changed 'TYPE' for all ALV fields in COMPONENTCONTROLLER from ZXXX-Zfield to Zfield, and I changed 'Input help mode' from 'Automatic' to 'Dictionary Search Help'. Now I see Value and Description for value in Search Help in my ALV.

Hi Niraja,
As how discussed in the email we can get this additional push button as how desired by enhancing the standard component WDR_OVS. Just click on the "Enhance" (spiral kind of button) button present in the application toolbar & create an Enhancement Implementation for the component. Now within this standard component you have the corresponding layout present in the SEARCH view. So go to this view & make the necessary changes. From now on what all components which declare a component usage of the WDR_OVS would be getting this newly modified UI & functionality.

Problem with Dictionary Search Help

very good morning!!
we have a z-search help called 'ZIH_TIPOIDENTIFICACION', and we want to select a line from the help search, and put the values in two fields. This is easy if the two fields are in the same context, but the fields are in different contexts. Field 1 is in the context BTADMINH and field 2 is in the context BTACTIVITYH and is a field of type 'attribute value'. Only works Field 1 . I do not fill the Field 2, the value for 'field-context_attr ls_field ='
our code is:
data ls_field   type if_bsp_wd_valuehelp_f4descr=>gtype_param_mapping.
data: lt_input type if_bsp_wd_valuehelp_f4descr=>gtype_param_mapping_tab,
        lt_output type if_bsp_wd_valuehelp_f4descr=>gtype_param_mapping_tab.
ls_field-context_attr = 'EXT.ZZAFLD00003H'.
ls_field-f4_attr      = 'ZTAXTYPE'.
append ls_field to lt_output.
ls_field-context_attr = 'BTACTIVITYH/Z_TIPO_IDENT_TEXT'.
ls_field-f4_attr      = 'TEXT'.
append ls_field to lt_output.
create object rv_valuehelp_descriptor type cl_bsp_wd_valuehelp_f4descr
    exporting
      iv_help_id        = 'ZIH_TIPOIDENTIFICACION'
      iv_help_id_kind   = if_bsp_wd_valuehelp_f4descr=>help_id_kind_name
      iv_input_mapping = lt_input
      iv_output_mapping = lt_output.
Any ideas?
many thanks

Hi Victor,
You can access the BTACTIVITYH field from the BT ADMINH context node using the relationships.
      entity ?= current.
*     Method 1
      current = entity->get_related_entity(
               iv_relation_name = 'BTHeaderActivityExt' ).      "#EC NOTEXT
      IF current IS NOT BOUND.
        RETURN.
      ENDIF.
Here the Current referne will have your new attribute to display in system. Use the same relation code in both set and get methods.
So that both attributes will be part of BTAdminH context node then your above code will work correctly.
Best Regards,
Dharmakasi.

How can we create a Collective search help plz tell me with steps

Hi
1) Elementary search helps describe a search path. The elementary search help must define where the data of the hit list should be read from (selection method), how the exchange of values between the screen template and selection method is implemented (interface of the search help) and how the online input help should be defined (online behavior of the search help).
2) Collective search helps combine several elementary search helps. A collective search help thus can offer several alternative search paths.
3)An elementary search help defines the standard flow of an input help.
4) A collective search help combines several elementary search helps. The user can thus choose one of several alternative search paths with a collective search help.
5)A collective search help comprises several elementary search helps. It combines all the search paths that are meaningful for a field.
6)Both elementary search helps and other search helps can be included in a collective search help. If other collective search helps are contained in a collective search help, they are expanded to the level of the elementary search helps when the input help is called.
CREATION:
Go to SE11 Tcode
select search help
give the 'z' search help name and create
select the selection method ur table name eg : 'mara'
dialog module 'display value immediately'.
add the field whatever u want and lpos = 1 and spos = 1 and check import and export parameter.

Thanks in Advance

Problem resolved. You can hard code values, like the domain name within the search help.
Although I have found that if you don't use a search help and you have domain values then your drop-down list values will be automatically populated from the domain values for the field. At least in my dynpro it does.

Performance with ADMC Search help

Hi Everyone.
Here there is a performance issue when we tried with the standard search help.It is happening in MEAN Transaction and the search help is for Address Number .While we tried it is giving dump for sometimes.
When I checked into the search help,It is a collective search help and the selection-method is from a View.
Could anyone face this ,please give some pointer to resolve this Performance issues.
If there is any way to reolve this ,we can clone the existing report and do the changes in the new ZMEAN Transaction .
Regards,
Kranti Yamparala.

I don't understand the details of your question.
But anyway, a search help searches on a maybe very large table with very poor selection criteria, this can take
ages and there is nothing you can do.
You must take care that the selection critieria make sense,
+ either by defining mandatory inputs
+ or/and by adding some indices which you think are necessary

Collective search help in PA30

Hi Experts,
I have followed the below steps to add new field in the Collective search help in PA30.
1. Collective srch hlp for Employee is - PREM and the Elementary srch hlp for 'Last name - First name' is PREMN.
2. You can change standard search help without access key. So you have to change PREMN.
3. Selection Method used for PREMN is M_PREMN. Copy M_PREMN to ZM_PREMN.
4. In Database view ZM_PREMN, add field RUFNM(Nick Name) in View Flds Tab.
5. Assign Selection Method ZM_PREMN to PREMN.
6. In secarh help parameter assign SPos filed 3 for newly added RUFNM(Nick Name).
I have copied Selection method M_PREMJ into ZM_PREMJ. From SE11 selected radio button u2018Viewu2019 and entered ZM_PREMJ then selected Change button.
A new window pope up with options u2018Maint in orig. langu2019 and u2018Change orig. languageu2019.
If I select u2018Change orig. languageu2019 then I am getting the following error
View ZM_PREMJ contains inactive components
If I select u2018Maint in orig. langu2019 then it will allowing for modifications. But when I activate I am getting following errors:
Check view ZM_PREMJ (SAPUSER/01.08.11/13:02)
View field ZM_PREMJ-PERNR (domains of the data elements not equal)
Key field PA0002-OBJPS missing
Key field PA0002-SEQNR missing
Key field PA0002-SPRPS missing
Key field PA0002-SUBTY missing
All fields are evaluated as key field
View ZM_PREMJ is not consistent
Please guide me in adding a new field in PA30 Collective Search Help.

Deepthi

Hi Suman,
Yes, it is activated now with some warning messages.
After this in SE11, I have selected radio button u2018Search Helpu2019 and entered u2018PREMNu2019.
And clicked on u2018Changeu2019 button, then I have two options u2018Maint in orig. lang,u2019 and u2018Main. in logon langu2019.
I have selected u2018Main. in logon lang; (which option to be selected??)
And replaced Selection method u2018M_PREMNu2018with ZM_PREMN, then activated.
It was activated with warning and following are adjusted.
SHLP EHS00SHLP_PREM was adjusted
SHLP HREHS00PERSINTEXT was adjusted
SHLP LO_OIF_PARTNER was adjusted
SHLP PREM was adjusted
SHLP PTRM_PREM_WEB was adjusted
Up to here is fine, but when I tested in PA30 Collective search help, I can able to see new field u2018Nick Name but it is not working.

Add documentation to (collective) search help

If i create a collective search help via se11 and execute it, the blue 'I'-button (information) appears. When I press it, nothing happens.
(the same thing occurs with the sflight searchhelp)
I would like to add a documentation to a collective search help that would appear when this button is pressed. is this possible and how should I do it?

Hi Dries,
Go through this info.
Creating Collective Search Helps
Procedure
In the initial screen of the ABAP Dictionary, select object class Search help, enter the name of the search help and choose Create.
A dialog box appears in which you must select the type of search help.
Select Collective search help and choose .
The maintenance screen for collective search helps is displayed.
Enter an explanatory text in the field Short text.
You can for example find the search help at a later time using this short text.
In the Definition tab page enter the parameters of the collective search help.
Select the Imp flag if it is an import parameter. Select the Exp flag if it is an export parameter.
Define the types for the parameters of a collective search help by assigning a data element. Enter the name of the data element that describes the contents of the search help parameter in the Data element field.
You can assign the parameter a default value in the Default value field.
In exceptions it could be necessary to change the standard process defined by the search help. You can implement the deviation from the standard using a search help exit.
In this case enter the name of the search help exit in the corresponding field.
On the Included search helps tab page, define the search helps that you want to include in the collective search help.
You can include elementary search helps and collective search helps.
Use the Hide flag to control whether an included search help should appear in the dialog box for selecting the elementary search help. If the flag is set, the search help is not offered.
It makes sense to hide search help inclusions if one or more search paths in the standard system should not be used in a concrete R/3 System. Similarly, search help inclusions can also be already hidden in the standard system because they only can be used meaningfully in a few R/3 Systems. You have to cancel the flag in this case.
Position the cursor one after the other on each allocated search help and choose Parameter assignment.
In the next screen, enter the parameter names of the elementary search helps to which the corresponding parameters of the collective search help should be assigned in the field Reference parameter.
You can select the parameters contained in the included search help using the input help. Create a proposal for the assignment with Proposal.
Save your entries.
A dialog box appears in which you have to assign a development class to the search help.
Choose .
Result
The collective search help is activated. You can find information about the activation flow in the activation log, which you can display with Utilities ® Activation log. If errors occurred when the collective search help was activated, the activation log is automatically displayed.
Do not forget to link the search help to a screen field. The search help attachment is not part of the search help definition; it is part of the object definition to which the search help is attached.
Other Options
You can test the flow of an input help defined by the collective search help with . A dialog box appears in which you can simulate the behavior of the search help under different conditions. You can obtain information about the options provided in this window with .
Rewards some points .
