How to add short field of POSITION on dataelement of OrgModeler

Question

Hi,
I am implementing OrgModeler 3.0 SP1.
I want to use SHORT of HRP1000 as sort field on OrgModeler.
It seems not to be read by OCI.
If you know how to config data elements usw. Please advise.
Best Regards,
Hiroshi Takimoto

Hi Luke,
Thank you very much for explanation.
Things are becoming clearer. So, let me clarify some points.
Apology for the long reply...
Let me continue discussion by quoting your reply.
1) I don't believe it uses a view, just an evaluation path
If you run function RH_STRUC_GET with the evaluation path ZNAKO2PP does it return the fields you see in the data element? If this doesn't include SHORT then you might be able to extend the function module to include it.
The view mechanism allows to add fields with HROCI framework, but SAPPositionDataElementHROCI.xml with evaluation path doesn't allow adjustment of returning fields. Is this true?
Then, if we look at the FM, the SHORT field is returned from the FM, but I suppose that returned fields from FM are converted/mapped in Nakisa.SAP.SAPSPProcessor.BAPI_SP_Hierarchy_OrgUnit2JointSP. I guess this mapping is performed because FM returns OBJID/STEXT/SHORT as a field name, but table BAPI_1_DataSets_O2S has "Object_ID","Name" as a field name (which I don't see any alias unlike others). There must be something that maps FM field and table fields. Would you know mappings?
2) No, the sort fields are defined in the hierarchy configuration and come from the data element SAPPositionDataElement
Is your field added to the NakisaRFC function SAPPositionVacancy.xml (in <you build>\.delta\OTFSchema\functionconfiguration)? If so, has the field also been added to SAPPositionDataElement.xml and SAPPositionVacancy.xml data elements? If so then in the AdminConsole you should be able to select your field in the Sort Order section. If not then you have done something incorrect.
Do you mean "hierarchy configuration" is configuration of the node "Position" under "Organization Structure" in "Source OrgChart" pane "Hierarchies"?
I have defined the added field in Sort Order section, but sorting doesn't take place. I have added the field to all the XMLs and confirmed field definition by showing the added field in a view (view shows values correctly).
My assumptions here is:
A) "SAPPositionDataElement.xml" is not sorting order by any field from "AdditionalFieldsDataElement".
B) Class "Nakisa.SAP.Custom.OTFProcessor.BAPI_SAP_OTFProcessor_LinkedDataElement" returns sorted table entries from ERP system and will not use the "Sort Order in hierarchy".
C) the sort order from "CurrentFieldsDataElement" is predominantly used for "BAPI_SAP_OTFProcessor_LinkedDataElement"
D) DataElement using "Nakisa.SAP.Custom.OTFProcessor.BAPI_SAP_OTFProcessor_Report" sorts based on the "Sort Order in hierarchy". Return of Report itself is confrimed sorted.
E) single method of data fetch (either report, chart, or HROCI) will assure "the sort order in hierarchy".
The current understanding of Nakisa leaves me with few options. These are:
Option 1) understand mapping from FM to BAPI_1_DataSets_O2S. This may tell me SHORT is available in the SAPPositionDataElementHROCI.
Option 2) use sort order (PRIOX) from object relationship (from FM: HR_STRUC_GET). HRP1001 has to be updated by another program.
I still would like to pursue the SHORT sort by using Nakisa.
Would you be able to share your expert knowledge about the assumptions above A,B,C,D,E and possibly about Op1?
Thank you again.
