Error in AET in SAP CRM 7.0 EHP1

Question

Hi All ,
I have created new table using AET in SAP CRM ehp1 and it  has created new z-component and z-table succusfully.
When I opened the component and view and i noticed it has been created two context nodes.
One is Parent and another is z-context and here Parent context node is not refering any base entity.But while creating the new data base table I selected ORDERADM_I as parent object.
PARENT context node base entity is initial  and  Implementation Class CL_BSP_WD_CONTEXT_NODE .
ZATAB000013 context node Base Entity is ZAEXT_BOL_OBJ000002 .
Beacuase of this parent context I am getting dump "Parent context node is initial".
Thanks,
Venkat

Hi,
I am not sure what steps you habe taken for the AET table view creation.
If you open any sales order and then open an item, you come to item's overview page.
If your requirement was to add a custom table based assignment block on this-item overview page then steps for creation are :
1) Start the config tool from UI and select the Items header view
2) use Display Enahncement button
3) Select NEW on table enhancement
4) create the table enhancement by defining the fields and their properties
5) Once done and clicked on save and generate, then this creates the table view in the component you defined in AXTSYS.
6) AET automatically adds this table view as assignment block on Sales Order Item overview page - where from we began the AET.
7) Then you just have to go to the BT115I_SLSO and select overview page, go to view config tool and pull the AET generated view into displayed block. Save the config and do client copy if your test client is different than customizing client.
That is all.  PARENT is MUST because your AET table create a dependant Z bol object with a Z relation to BTADMINI in this case.
The care is taken by AET to bind the BTADMINI to PARENT through component usage on item component controller.
One must understand the requirement given, think about the design and then go for creating the AET. Just running the wizard without understanding what i want and what i am doing is a wrong practice.
You will get a dump if you run the component standalone because obviously PARENT is initial. Who is supplying entity to Parent ? No One and so its initial.
Do you see the Zcomoment/zview in Sales order item compoent's overview page ? it should be there if you have created the AET in the steps i gave.
Did you start AET from sales order header-General data view or sale order item-General data view ?
Incase you do not see your AET created component and view on overview page view config, then you have to create component usage of your AET component and add the view to your overview page. Plus code in WD_USAGE_INITIALIZE method of sale order item component and bind BTADMINI of component controller to PARENT node.
Thus you will not get the PARENT initial and hence no dump.
Thanks & Regards
