Drag&Relate Targets

Hi All,
When i open the page, i can see an option called "Drag and Relate Targets" What is the functionality behind it? How can it be acheived? Can anyone please help me out in this?
Regards,
Divya

Hi Divya,
Drag&Relate targets are iViews that possess drag-on capabilities and have been associated to a page or iView containing draggable data in the form of links. They can retrieve from a database source information that is related to the information that is dragged onto it.
Advantage:-
Drag&Relate targets offer the possibility of a relation-resolving process that connects information from independent systems.
Drag&Relate means that when you click an iView, you launch a request that returns information. If that iView is defined as a Drag&Relate target, then when a link from another iView is dragged onto it, the launched request is modified by the additional dragged content. The dragged content acts as conditions that filter the data which is returned by the Drag&Relate target iView.
For example, a user dragging a part number from an asset management system iView onto a geographical information system iView that is a Drag&Relate target, could map all installations of a certain type of equipment at a particular site.
To enable Drag and Relate option go through this link:-

  • Drag&Relate Target

    Hi All,
    I am trying to follow the following steps in CE 7.1 EHP1:
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwce711/helpdata/en/49/330a10fd695aa8e10000000a42189d/content.htm
    But when I open an iview to edit, I am not able to set the Drag&Relate Target property to true as I am not able to find it.
    Can anyone help?
    Regards,
    Malita

    Hi Malita,
    Its there in iView Properties just below domain property.
    FYI:
    To assign Drag&Relate capability to an iView:
           1.      In the Portal Catalog, right-click the iView you want to convert to a Drag&Relate-enabled object, and choose Open ® Object.
           2.      In the Property Editor scroll through the iView properties until you find the Drag&RelateTarget property.
           3.      Change the value of the Drag&Relate Target property to 1 and click Save.

  • Drag & Relate scenario

    Hello,
    I have setup R/3 in the portal for drag & relate, and i have a custom iView which I want to use with the R/3 for drag and relate. the iView is the drag & relate target, it needs to be able to (when we drop "something" on it) get the parameters from the the object using the drag & relate context (?) and use them for further processing - i.e use the params in a query , etc. I would like to know, how exactly do i do that? Is that done programatically, or rather from the portal? Do I need to change my iView in order to enable it for drag & relate, and to act as a target? If yes, should i also do that programatically, or by setting up the iView properties? Thank you very much in advance.
    Regards,
    Angel

    Hi Angel,
    regarding your questions:
    (1) Is that done programatically, or rather from the portal?
    A: This is done in the portal.
    (2) Do I need to change my iView in order to enable it for drag & relate, and to act as a target?
    A: Yes, Changing iView properties.
    (3) Change iView properties according to the iView type you use. Take the Unification Cookbook from SDN as a practical help for that.
    If you need further help, please post again or let me know.
    Merci and Best Regards,
    Andreas

    Hi,
    Drag&Relate and Related links iviews are 2 different types of iviews.
    1) Drag&Relate iview is part of the unification capability of the portal which can be used to get meaningful data by creating relations between business objects. Check
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/76/c6693e54d6d112e10000000a11405a/frameset.htm
    2) Related links iviews are iviews which are added as links or refernce iviews to existing iviews or pages so that it is easier to find them while navigating in the portal.

    Related links are defined as "Links that access information which is topically related to the content currently displayed in the portal content area." they Helps users to quickly find information relevant to the context in which they are working.Automatically appears when the portal object they are linked to is part of a portal page.
    Working in the Related Links Editor of the Portal Content Studio, the content manager can assign iViews and pages as related links to other iViews or portal pages. At runtime, the related links of all the visible iViews and pages in the content area, are accumulated and inserted into the Related Links iView of the navigation panel. The end user can click these links to pursue a specific topic
    Whereas in case of Drag & Relate , relationships between iViews is based on Business objects.
    Using Drag&Relate, iViews can be started from other iViews. The iViews are related to another with Business Objects. In a Drag&Relate operation, a Business Object is transferred from one iView (Drag&Relate Source) to another iView (Drag&Relate Target) as a parameter. Transfer and starting of the iView is done using by dragging the specified DRAG  symbol with the mouse.
    A Drag&Relate Source is an iView that contains Business Objects. Drag&Relate compatible Business Objects are designated with the symbol . In SAP BW, Business Objects correspond to InfoObjects of type Characteristic. With a Drag&Relate operation, the characteristic, a characteristic value and the logical system are transferred. When you only click on the DRAG symbol in a BEx Web Application without dragging it to another iView, the master data with attributes from the InfoObject Characteristic are displayed.

  • Implementing Drag & Relate

    Hi,
    I am working on Drag & Relate functionality in EP. Can any one tell me the steps to implement the Drag & Relate.
    I read in some document, in iview properties we need to make Drag& Relate Target as True. But i didnt find any property with that name for iviews. For which iviews i can find that.
    Thanks,
    Satish

    Hi Satish,
    Check the settings under Default Framework Page,
    Content Administration->Portal Content->Content by SAP->End User Content->Standard User->Default FrameWork page
    Open the Default Framework Page, select Desktop Inner Page and selct Open.
    Check the boxes against Drag and Relate iView there if these are unchecked.
    You can also open this Drag and Relate iView to check its properties.
    Thanks,

  • Define main objects for Drag & Relate between BW 3.1 and EP6

    hi all.
    We are trying to implement Drag & Relate between BW 3.1 and EP6.
    We have 2 different BW reports based on the same object "0MATERIAL". One of them should be a source and the other is the target. When creating the iViews for these reports the "main object" property has no values, therefor we don't see any symbol near the object we want to drag. The import of the "0MATERIAL" object from BW to the portal was successful.
    Is it related to customizing the BW system or the portal?
    thanks,
    Sagi

    I solved the problem - I added the BW alias before the main object name in the main object property. For example "BW.0MATERIAL" when BW is the BW system alias and 0MATERIAL is the object name.

  • Drag&Relate in SAP Portal 7.0

    Hello experts,
    I have a problem in SAP EP 7.0. I need to use Drag&Relate technology but in this version is not possible because this functionality is discontinued. The reason is that there is a technical reengineering of the Distributed Query Engine (DQE) technology.
    But, what can I do? Is there any way to reproduce similar functionality?
    Thanks in advance,
    Belen

    Hi there Belen,
    I have the same problem, only that I am using EP 6.0 SP16. The DQE doesnt start because of the "Technical reengineering" and there are a number of related functions that are not available in the portal..
    For example, I am not able to add Drag and Relate targets to iViews, there is no option for adding it in the detailed Navigation. There is also no Unification section in System Administration. I am really frustrated about it..
    Have you found out anything regarding Drag and Relate technology and if it will be continued again in the future? Do let me know if you have found anything regarding it.
    Thanks,
    Sameer

  • Drag & Relate between two BW reports

    Hello together,
    I want to implement the Drag&Relate functionality between two BW Reports via EP 6.0. I have configured the connection between Portal and BW with the report RSPOR_SETUP. The SingleSignOn and the import of business object is working well. After that, I took 2 BW testreports which were prepared for D&R. When I now drag the customernumber of report1 to the target report2, I get the error message "No relation found between the source and target business objects". The business object in both reports is 0CUSTOMER, so what relations should be set?
    Where is the mistake, could anybody help me?
    Thanks and regards.
    Gerd Nedderhoff

    Hi Gerd,
    You have to link the two iviews. First double click the first iview. Then right click the second iview and make it as the target iview. Then in the navigation panel you see the other iview in the Drag and relate section.
    Regards
    Arun

  • Drag & Relate Issue.

    Hi All,
    We are on EP 7.0 and SP13. Definately we are able to use drag and relate feature as from SP12.
    I have imported BO ( BUS0008 PLANT, BUS 2004 PLANNED ORDER, KNA1 CUSTOMER)
    2 Transaction ivew were created as of on bus2004 (order), kna1(cusomer)).
    Unification relation is mannual (bus2004 as source) , (kan1 as target) , Alias_1.OBJECTKEY=Alias_2.OBJECTKEY
    Problem is when i drag ORDER no  from planned order iview to Customer (which is visible as target iview with green icon beside it)  i get a message **** The following capability is not supported: Full Scan****
    Has anyone faced this issue ? Any possible solution. Last quest when the system object to  * SAP R/3* is defined do we need to aslo specify (Drag & relate SERVER) parameters ? If so wht will the paramters.
    Already gone through blogs so any thing other than that will help.
    Thanks in advance.
    **RAJ**

    In case it matters, we are on BW 3.5 SP 18 with SAP GUI 6.40 Patch 22.
    I don't know how to change this globally, so I will have to leave that to other gurus...
    To change this setting for a query, go to Query Designer and open the query. Click on the Query Properties button at the top of the screen, then choose the "Display" tab. At the bottom of the Display Options section at the top left is the "Display Drag&Relate Links" option. Make sure the checkbox for this option is not selected (unchecked).
    Hope this helps...

  • Drag & Relate SAP txn to external java servlet

    We have a java servlet external to SAP portal that we want to interface to a SAP document. Using drag and relate we want to pass SAP document type and number to the servlet URL. Can some one point me how make that happen in Portal us9ing drag & relate?

    Hi Jens.
    You can use HRNPService for creating HRNP links.
    The javadocs for HRNP will be fully available from SP10, but I will provide a sample code for creating HRNP links:
    import com.sap.portal.unification.hrnpnode.IHRNPNode;
    import com.sap.portal.unification.hrnpnode.IHRNPNodeFactoryService;
    private String getHRNPLink(String systemAlias, String businessObjectName, String attribute, String value){
              IHRNPNodeFactoryService hrnpFactoryService = (IHRNPNodeFactoryService)PortalRuntime.getRuntimeResources().getService(IHRNPNodeFactoryService.KEY);
              IHRNPNode hrnpNode = hrnpFactoryService.createHRNPSource(systemAlias, businessObjectName, attribute, value);
              String link = hrnpNode.getHRNPLink();
              return link;
    systemAlias: alias of the backend system in system landscape ("pubs_alias")
    businessObjectName: name of the business object ("dbo.authors")
    attribute: in MSSQL Server it is the column name ("au_id")
    value: value to be dragged ("50").
    getHRNPLink() will return a string in the following format: "hrnp://0:0/pubs_alias/dbo.authors/au_id/50" which you can drop on any unification target.
    Hope this helps you, and you can contact me with any additional questions regarding this topic.
    Vadim.

  • Incorrect access restriction in Drag & Relate

    Hi,
    I am encountering an access issue in Drag & Relate function. I have created two numbering series for Purchase Orders. PO and YPO. "User 1" can access the Purchase Orders with the series PO and "User 2" can access the ones with "YPO". I have set the authorisations for Series for the mentioned users.
    When "User 1" tries to view the Purchase Order for an item in Drag & Relate, the system displays the list of Purchase Orders for this item regardless of the Series. If the "User 1" tries to drill down the Purchase Orders with series "YPO", the system correctly blocked the user from accessing the details as he has no rights to view the series "YPO".
    However, if there is one Purchase Order for the searched item, in Drag & Relate the system does not block the user to drill down and view the details.
    How can I restrict access if there is one Purchase Order for an item and user is not supposed to see the mentioned Series?
    Thank you.
