Hi Naveen,
There's no difference to using a collective search help or a regular search help.
in the attribute of the context that you want the search helps to appear for - specify that the input help is of type dictionary search help, then specify that the input help is your collective search help.
Search helps in WDA, if search help is available at dictionary level, no need to create any search help, you get automatically.
If you want to create search help for any input field, another option is using OVS. we have WDR_OVS component for search helps, you need to reuse this component in your custom component, just change some coding according to your requirements you get search help.
Go through these documentation and helps...

Find collective Search Help for partner function at runtime

Hi experts,
I have a screen very similar to VF05. When I enter the partner function, the corresponding field for the partner function, I want a collective search help to open.
If I enter the partner function - Employee responsible, then the search help PERM has to be called or for partner function Payer, I want the search help DEBI to be called. Can anyone let me know how can I get the related partner functions, without hardcoding for every partner function. Something similar to the VF05 report.
Warm Regards,

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 .

Search Helps:
These are two types.
Elementary n Collective.
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.

Problem creating a hybrid collective search help for werks,bukrs and ekorg

Hi All,
I have to create a collective search help for Org_key field of a custom table.
This org_key field is a char4 field and can hold the value for plant , bukrs and ekorg.
I need to create a collective search help which includes
C_T001                          Collective Search Help for BUKRS (Company Code)
H_T001W_NEW     Possible Entries for Plants
H_T024E                         Input Help for Purchasing Organization
I have added org_key field in the field description , how can i do the parameter assigment ( or declare the field description ) so that if the user press F4 for org_key field ,he is able to see all the search paths corresponding to C_T001,H_T001W_NEW, and H_T024E simultaneously, and corresponding to value chosen ( for plant , werks or ekorg ) the value is passed back to the org_key field.
Thanks in Advance
Regards
Anurag

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.

F4 help for Elementary Search Help in collective Search help

Hi Gurus,
I have created an elementary search help 'ZXXX' with fields Partner , KDGRP and KTEXT .For this searh help, I have created a database view for the selection method with tables BUT000 , KNVV and T151.Finally, added this elemenatry search help'ZXXX' to collective searh help BUPA.
When I press f4 on BP , I could very well see the newly created seach help 'ZXXX' in transaction BP.However, the F4 on field KDGRP is missing. I thought the SAP internally determines F4 for KDGRP based on the check table T151 in domain KDGRP but it is not happening. I did try to infulence the values in shlp-interface and shlp-fielddescr using search help exit but it does not work.
Could you help me how do I acheive the F4 help on field KDGRP which is used in an elementary search help and further more in collective search help BUPA on transaction BP.
<REMOVED BY MODERATOR - REQUEST OR OFFER POINTS ARE FORBIDDEN>
cheers,
Amber
Edited by: Alvaro Tejada Galindo on Jan 4, 2010 3:29 PM

Hi
There might be some reasons for not getting the F4 value. One reason could be the complete AUTHORISATION for shopadmin given to the user.
Please check the SHOPADMIN authorisations of the user.
Hope this will be helpful

How to create a package and add a file?

Hi all,
I am new to Java and very much much confussed with how to create a package and then include some files any help will be very thankfull.
Thanks for your help
kka.

Steps for creating a package in java are as follows:
Choose a base directory for your classes. For example, you might choose c:\java\packages. Type the following command:
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;c:\java\packages
Create subdirectories for each chapter or section, if you don't already have them.
For each of the classes in the subdirectories, add the following line to the very top of each file:
package directory-name;
where directory-name is the name of the subdirectory the class file is located in.
In other directories you may have class files that need to access one of the classes in another directory (package). To do this, write one of the following at the top of the class that needs the other class:
import subdir.*;
or
import subdir.classname;
Use the class by name in the new class file.
Note that you can create sub-packages by creating subdirectories of the original subdirectories, and inserting package statements at the top of the java files in those directories.
Hope this helps!

How to create portal user and integrate with external appl login

How to create portal user and integrate the user with external application for single sign-on ?
I want to access my external application thru portal user ..?
Shyam

Hi Jithin,
The link that you've shared talks about a different scenario.
In my case, I want to pass the portal user id when the user clicks on the Help Link present in the header area.
I am trying to pass it along with the Help Link Url property of a masthead iview but it is not getting passed to the target Url.
I would like to know if it is possible to pass the Portal User Id in this way or not.
Though if we create a appintegrator iview and pass the user id <User.UserID> along with the target Url, it reaches there.
Thanks & Regards,
Anurag
