Issues with Search Helps

Hi Experts,
Anyone have any advice or suggestions for this problem?
Problem:
When running standard SAP search helps (let's say search for material by material type - from MM03) the system seems to truncate my last character. For example if I enter ERSA for material type - and look at the dynamic selection criteria all I see is 'ERS'. Thus when I run my search - no results are returned.
It is very odd behavior.
Notes:
- This occurs with standard and custom search helps
- This only occurs with search helps - other fields do not have this issue
- I recently downgraded my GUI version from 710 back to 640. Since then I have uninstalled and re-installed many times - this does not seem to help.

Why don't you try to login thru some other desktop that have SAPGui 7.10 and check whether its working or not.

Issue With Search Help in Module Pool

Dear All,
I have an Issue with Search help. I have created a Module Pool Program. In this module pool, User requires the search helps for the fields.
Imagine there are 3 fields on a screen. Field1, field2 and field3.
Field2 entries depends on field1 and field3 entries depends on field1 and field2.
I have created a collective search help. and created the corresponding Ztables to maintain the search help entries.
Now I assigned the same collective search help to both the fields . i.e. field2 and field3. But when i execute the module pool program, and press F4 on these fields , the data shown is write. BUT for the 3rd field, when I select F4, The second field values are transfered to the screen, instead of third field value.
Any Idea will be appreciated .
Help me , Its very Urgent.
Regards,

Did you check the screen field names & search help name? is it identical & unique?

Strange Issue With Search Help

Hi Experts,
I am stuck with a search help issue, when using a certain Help for an input field on my screen i am getting a "Value help dialog canceled" cancelled error , the same search help seems to be working fine
when run from sap r/3.
I am pretty sure the design part (Attribute binding and mentioning the search help in the context ) is correct and how it should be.
Could Someone Please throw some lite on this issue.
Thanks In Advance,
Chaitanya.

Hi Chaitanya,
When reusing DDIC search helps in WDA, it may not always work as desired. Calls to classic screens in search help exits for example is one of the scenarios that works pretty well with SAPGUI but doesnt work with WDA.
The following links may be of help!

Issue with Search Help Creation

Hi All,
I need to display the match code for the Z table ZPRODUCT and the field is PRODH. The data should be retrieved from the table T179 by filtering PRODH = 'ZZ*' and STUFE = '1'. So, I am trying to create a Search Help for this requirement. But, the field ZPRODUCT-PRODH is of 5 Characters length and the field T179-PRODH is of 18 characters length. As the lengths are not matching, it is not allowing me to create the Search help. Could someone tell me if there is any way to overcome this issue?
Or is there any better approach to create the match code apart from the Search Help. Can we use the Table events for this requirements? Please share your thoughts.
Thanks a lot in advance.
Regards,
Paddu.

Issue with F4 help!!!!!! need to resolve it asap.

Hello Guru's,
I am modifying the Web Dynpro for ABAP application for employee search in HR Administrator.
I am able to change the infoset and make use of the one I created using the enhancement framework.
I included couple of standard fields Provided by SAP into the selection fields of the infoset.
And now I have issue with F4 help associated with the fields.
The problem is when you do a F4 on the selection fields the selection option which comes is having couple of columns with the key field highlighted in blue and when selecting a record or row the value selected is EN instead I would like to have the Org unit number to be selected.
to be more clear:
in the popup of f4 assume the columns are
Langu Org. unit Org. Unit text.
as of now Langu is the key field(highlighted in blue) and when selecting a row the value selected is Langu key instead I want to have Org. Unit to be selected.
Please help me out in resolving this.
Thanks in advacne for your time.
Regards,
Pramod

Hi Pramod,
I don't know how it is done in infoset. But if you have a context node and attribute for the field which is displayed in the view, create a custom dictionary search help for the field you want. Design the search help as per your requirements (what fields to be displayed etc..).
In the context attribute of that field property, select 'Dictionary search help' in the Input help mode. Enter the name of your custom search help here.
Thanks & Regards,

Issue with search criteriya in E-Recruiting

Hello, Experts! I used ERECRUIT - 603(EHP3) and Trex Version -
7.10.12.00.
Issue with search publications in WebDynPro interface and
BSP interface for candidate, when i use criteria for search
(like Country, or Function Area or other...). When i use a full-
text search or with out criteria is everything good -
publications are find. In the TRM is every think good, with
search criteriya or full-text search or with out criteriya. This
problem only with publications search.

Hello,
Ensure you have scheduled the periodical services job RCF_PERIODICAL_SERVICES and check the tables T77RCF_EXT_PUB & T77RCF_INT_PUB in which your publications need to have a valid indicator (an "X" indication).
If even after running the periodical services job, you are not able to view the postings, possibly there is some problem in your TREX setup and you can know where u went wrong by checking the log in SLG1 T-code.

E-Recruiting.Issue with search criterion in the TRM.

Hi all! I have some issue with search in the TRM. I want to search by range criterion.
Example: i want to find candidate whose age between 20 - 35 years old, but in the E-Recruiting i didn't find decision how to realize this.

Hi,
yes you are right. I forgot that.
But I think it is only possible if you activate SES instead of old XML based search.

Urgent help - Issue with Search results in Web help (Robohelp10)

Hi,
I am facing an issue with the Search tab of my Web help output. The search is performed only on a part of the text entered.
For example, I search for a word "Planning", the results are generated for "plan".
I search for the word "Table", the results are generated for "Tabl"
I search for "corresponding", the results for "correspon" are displayed.
Is this an existing issue? Is there any fix for this.
Please help.

Hi there
This is the option Jeff was referring to. I see it in my own RoboHelp version 10. As we aren't seeing it in your screen capture, I'm wondering if this was an option that was added via a service release you haven't installed.
I do suppose another possibility would be that you are using RoboHelp for Word and perhaps that isn't an option with that application.
Cheers... Rick

Issues with Search Filter Criteria Button in Search Help

Hi ,
I have applied an elementary search help to a select option and this help is having four fields. The search help works fne and all the four fields are visible when i do a F4. Now , if i want to restrict the number of entries shown (the number of entries are huge) by clicking the "Search Filter Criteria" button , i dont see any of the four fields using which i can restrict the data . Do we need to do any configuration for this ??
Regards
Mayank

Hi,
in that search help itself you have a option called maximum number of hits, there is a impact if you restricted also.

Using "Restrict by app" in change query causes issues with Search Results

Hello!
I am hoping some experienced SP admin can help me out. I am having issues with the relevance ranking for my search results web part.
I created a Wiki (OOTB) within a site collection and on the home page of the Wiki I was looking to apply a Search Box and Search Results web part for easy searching. I wanted to ensure the search results were restricted to the scope of the pages within the
wiki. I did the following after adding the 2 web parts:
Entered edit mode for the page
Started to edit the Search Results web part
Under Properties for Search Results clicked on "Change Query"
Navigated to BASICS and clicked "Switch to Quick Mode"
For Select Query, picked "Wiki (System)" option
For Restrict by app, picked "Specify a URL" and input the wiki URL "http://webapp.com/sites/sitecollection/wiki"
Click OK
The web part has 6 automatic results when I hit the page. These are the only 6 pages in my wiki. When I search a word or title of a page, they are not ranked in order or relevance. The ordering is static to what was being shown before the search, but the
keywords I'm searching are bold. With out the taking the steps above, I can easily search these pages and have them ranked appropriately so I'm not too sure what I'm doing wrong.
Other Details
The pages have been crawled and can be searched from anywhere else in SP.
I am only a site collection admin for this specific site collection.
I other than the steps above, I have not made any changes or customization to the search web parts; they are both out of the box SP.
The SP Farm admin we unable to pin point what the root cause is either.

Hi Mikael,
Sorry for the wait, I was unable to post pictures, which i felt would better describe my issue.
Could you output the query template you are ending up with?
If you can tell me how to accomplish this, then I can provide it. Please keep in mind that I am only a site collection admin.
Also, is the ranking/sorting for your webpart set to ranking?
When looking at the web part settings, I didn't see an option to modify the ranking. Unfortunately, some sites in my intranet are down now so I can't even double check. Once it's back up, I will verify this as well.
And how do you know they are ranked incorrectly?
I wanted to display an image showing what I meant by this. As the wiki is down, I'll do my best with words. When I visit the wiki home page, I already have the search and search results web parts there. Without searching anything, the search results
web part displays 6 pages that are available in the wiki. When I search, I expect to see the most relevant result at the top. similar to the following:
*Search result from another section of the intranet site.*
What I receive instead is the same list of wiki pages, in the same order. The most relevant result
is not moved to the top like in the image above, but I can see that the word "rush" is highlighted in bold. I hope this helps.
If you need more of a description, please let me know.
Thank you

Issues with Flash Help output

Hello there, hoping to get some advice on a couple issues
with RoboHelp.
We just started deploying FlashHelp here, and have run into a
couple of snags. I am running RoboHelp version 6, Flash player
version 9, and have the Flash authoring software (if needed), but
that’s version MX 2004. We’re running IE 6 and Windows
XP Pro.
Question 1
In a FlashHelp (generated) project, when on the Index tab, if
I use the search box to search for an index word, the following
error displays: "A script in this movie is causing Adobe Flash
Player 9 to run slowly. If it continues to run, your computer may
become unresponsive. Do you wish to abort the script?" If I tell it
NOT to abort the script, the computer still runs slowly. If I tell
it to go ahead and abort the script, Internet Explorer freezes up.
I asked our in-house web team and Flash development team to
look at the index issue, and they discovered something strange. The
index only breaks if the index word entered starts with the letter
A. Has that ever happened to anyone else? We’ve tried
multiple help projects on multiple boxes (computers), and results
have been very inconsistent. Sometimes it breaks, sometimes not,
but ONLY when the index entry starts with an A.
Is there something that I can change in the code anywhere to
prevent that from happening in the first place? Alternately, is
there a way to change the skin to completely remove that input
field from the index? It's not necessary to our process to have it
there, so long as the index entries are there with the scroll bar.
Note: We’re just using the Flash Default skin –
no modifications.
Question 2
One of my latest help projects is context-sensitive. When
called from within the application (F1) the proper topic displays.
However, the TOC always shows the default book - it does not expand
to match to where the user really is within the help.
Even stranger (to me), the TOC works just fine for the
first-level and second-level books and pages. However, anything
third level or deeper, the TOC behaves as described above -
defaulting to the welcome page book.
All the books are books with links (to topics), if that
matters. Also, I tried generating the project as WebHelp, and had
the same results - the TOC still would not automatically populate
when called as CSH from within the application.
In all other respects, things seem to be functioning just
fine.
I downloaded the trial version of RoboHelp 7, and had the
same issues.
Thanks so much!

I can recreate the problem but I haven't seen it reported
before. WebHelp has an option that would let you avoid the input
box in the Index but not FlashHelp.
There is information in Snippet 1 on my site about TOC
synchronisation but I don't know if it will help with FlashHelp.
Please report this bug via the Adobe site.

Issue on search help

In my module pool screen I have Shipment Number(vttk-tknum) field along with Shipment Item(vttp-tpnum).
Now I have created custom search help for Shipment item (TPNUM). Now the search help for Item should function like: what Shipment no I have selected, it should give the corresponding Item number once I click the search button for item field.
To get that thing I am using FM 'F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST' and I am getting desire list.
Now the issue is:
1) If I select Shipment No and then hit enter and click on F4 of Item then I get the desire list.
2) But if I select Shipment No and click on F4 of Item immediately after that then no list appears.
Why this is so?
I have to get that list without hitting enter key.
Please help me on that and let me know if any more details is required on that.
Thanks

Hi,
Below is the sample of FM usage:
DATA: return_tab TYPE TABLE OF ddshretval,
REFRESH: wt_user.
SELECT bname uname INTO TABLE wt_user FROM yibtlog.
SORT wt_user BY bname.
DELETE ADJACENT DUPLICATES FROM wt_user COMPARING bname.
CALL FUNCTION 'F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST'
    EXPORTING
      retfield               = 'BNAME'                            " Return field of the Table
     dynpprog               = 'SAPMYIBTBUOBJ'         " Program Name
     dynpnr                 = '700 '                                " Screen Number
     dynprofield            = 'TXTUSER'                       " Screen Field
     value_org              = 'S'
    TABLES
      value_tab              = wt_user
      return_tab            = return_tab
* EXCEPTIONS
*   PARAMETER_ERROR        = 1
*   NO_VALUES_FOUND        = 2
*   OTHERS                 = 3
txtuser = return_tab-fieldval. " This really returns the selected value from the F4 Help in to the
                                              screen field

Custom Field in Account Assignment with search help functionality..

Hello friends,
I have added a custom field(Profit Center) in account assignment frame which is having search help also attached..
the data for search help read from R/3.. When i click the search help in WEB , I got an error message saying that 'No input help available ( Search help PRCTR_EMPTY is empty )
Any one have found this kind if issue?
please help out
Regards,
john.

Hi
You can create a custom search help (simialar to R/3 srch help for profit center) and create a corresponding search help exit for this purpose.
You need to call the R/3 table from SRM to get the required data and then map the data in to the search help fields.
Hope this will solve ur problem.

Issue in search help

Hi,
A search help which has search help exit is attached to a attribute in webdynpro.
In search help exit default values are populated.
When i click on F4, search help appears with default values coded in Fm exit. Selected one and added to personal list.
Now returned to main screen. Clicked on F4. Personalised popup displayed. Clicked on all entries(General value list). Now the defaulted values(coded in FM) are not appearing.
Could some one let me know whether any SAP note is available to fix this? I tried few. Not able to find it.
Steps to replicate.
1. Create a search help exit FM (by copying F4IF_SHLP_EXIT_EXAMPLE )
2. Write coding to default values of the screen in PRESEL method
3. Create a elementary search help and assign the created FM to it.Make this search help as Values with restriction.
4. Create webdynpro with an attribute and attach the above search help
5. Execute the webynpro. Click on F4 button. This will now show the defaulted value. Click on search and select one as personal list.
6. Close the window
7. Click on F4. Personalised search help popup will be displayed. Click on view all (General value list).
The default values wont be populated.
Regards,
GN

Did you check the screen field names & search help name? is it identical & unique?
