BTCUSTOMER Entity not bound

Question

Hi Experts,
I have a standard component after enhancing , added a custom view with context node BTCustomerI.
In the component controller this context node is not there, so I enhanced the component controller and created BTCustomerI context node (BOL entity is BTCustomerI).
After binding the view context node with component controller , when I execute the web UI, in the view fields what I see is BTCUSTOMERI NOT BOUND".
We debugged and the binding is not happening though I have created the binding(view context to componnet context) .
Has someone faced this issue, is there a way to resolve this?
Highly rewarded.

Hi Lakshmi,
if you have no root entity, you have to create your own one:
component ICCMP_BP_SEARCH/BuPaSearch class CL_CRMCMP_B_BUPASEARCH0_IMPL->DO_INIT_CONTEXT line 34 (SAP CRM 7.0):
lv_wrapper = typed_context->SearchCustomer->get_collection_wrapper( ). "<-- entity in BOL collection?
  if lv_wrapper->IF_BOL_BO_COL~size( ) eq 0. "-> no, create one and put it into my collection
* create the query instance
    CREATE OBJECT bo_col TYPE cl_crm_bol_bo_col.
    query_service = cl_crm_bol_query_service=>get_instance( 'BuilHeaderSearchNew' ).
    bo_col->add( query_service ).
    typed_context->SearchCustomer->set_collection( bo_col ).
  ENDIF.
or you want to get current customer - use this e.g. in DO_INIT_CONTEXT:
data:
lo_bp             TYPE REF TO cl_crm_bol_entity,
lo_cucobupa       TYPE REF TO cl_crmcmp_b_cucobupa_impl.
* get current customer
lo_cucobupa ?= me->get_custom_controller( 'GLOBAL.CRMCMP_BPIDENT/CuCoBuPa' ). "#EC_NOTEXT
CHECK lo_cucobupa IS BOUND.
lo_bp ?= lo_cucobupa->typed_context->customers->collection_wrapper->get_current( ).
if lo_bp IS BOUND.
     " put current customer to my collection
      typed_context->BTCustomerI->collection_wrapper->clear( ).
      typed_context->BTCustomerI->collection_wrapper->add( lo_bp ).
endif.
best wishes,
