New Button : Custom Action

Hi Experts,
i have a VC application which display Sales Order Information based on the Customer, Material & Sales Organization. There are two buttons submit & reset everything works fine. Now i wish to add new button validate with custom event like checking if entry has been made for all the 3 fields.
so i create a btnValidate & custom Action actValidate, where should i enter the logic of what should happen on actValidate ??
i am on NW CE EPH1 visual composer 7.1

Prashant

Hi Prashant
In order to validate the 3 fields (check they are not blank) using your new button follow the next steps:
1. For each of the 3 fields you wish to validate do the following:
Right click the field and from the context menu select Configure. In the Validation area of the Configure task panel u2013 where you set the validation rules and the validation behavior check the Required box (or set a specific rule in the Rules field) and change the Behavior to Severe (instead of Normal).
2. Right click your new button and from the context menu select Action...
After assigning your custom action to the button, in the Validation area of the Define Action Dialog Box (The right tab) of your new button - where you set the validation scope (none, Control, Element, Window) make sure this scope is set to Element (this is the default) and change the validation behavior to Permissive (instead of Normal).
I Hope this helps, for any further information feel free to continue the thread or contact me.
Also, a more detailed information about using the validation rules can be found [here|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwce10/helpdata/en/ed/5f05491f814bb08865213d29f36af5/frameset.htm]

Replacing iSupport seeded buttons with new buttons(customer specific)

our customer wants to keep their own and look & feel for iSupport. we succeded in that. But the problem is replacing customer specific buttons, in iSupport pages.
is there any option so that we can completely replace iSupport buttons location to a new location, so that iSupport can pick up buttons from new location and it should not also effect other self service applications.
Any idea
Thanks
Chetan

In 11.5.10 and prior to that the buttons are generated dynamically and stored in a cache folder in OA_HTML. It will be a lot of effort for you to replace all the buttons in that location. Moreover the buttons are named based on a specific logic by UIX and will/might change from release to release if we make any changes on the specific parameters around that logic.
You use the CLAF feature to redefine the look and feel for buttons, the only problem is the changes will be applicable globally.
Alternately you can define your stylesheet and attach that using personalization to specific buttons, you need to do this for each button in iSupport.

Service Desk Unable to set status to Customer Action and Proposed Solution

Hi Everyone,
We are unable to set a service desk issue to the status Customer Action or Proposed solution.
I have someone create a new issue in the bakend system and when I receive the issue I assign it to myself as the processor. When I try to set teh status to Customer action it is grayed out.
I have checked the following:
1. As a test I assigned My user with sap_all profile so does not appear to be authroisation related
2. The status profile has all six standard values (New, customer action, In Process, Sent to SAP, Proposed Solution, Confirmed).
3. The transaction types have been defined using the standard profiles for Text Det. Procedure, Partnet Determination Procedure, Status Profile. The Partner Function ORG is set to Sold-To-Party , The date profile is a SRV_SLA_ITEM and the Action profile is set to SLFN0001_ADVANCED. The Org Data Prof is set to a customer defined one: ZSSC000000001.
4. I have checked transaction ppoma_crm and the org structure and my user is assigned to a team lead position.
Your assistance is greatly appreciated.
Michael

Hi Michael,
please check your status profile for the "lowest status no." and "highest status no." values of the status values as Alex mentioned!
You can find this in SPRO under "SAP Solution Manager> Scenario-Specific Settings>Service Desk>Service Desk>Status Profile".
If the "high" value of the status "New" is lower than the status number of status "Customer Action" than you can not set the message from "New" to "Customer Action"!
Hope this helps,
Christoph

Any way to change back button title without creating new button?

Hi,
Is there any way to change the back button title on a navigation controller without having to create a whole new button and action to go with it?
Thanks
Ray

Yes, you don't need to create a new a new action mechanism etc.
One way to change the back button text on a the navbar of a view is to create a new UIBarButtonItem (with nil tagget and nil action )
Then set self.navigationItem.backBarButtonItem of the parent view controller to the new button
Note that you're setting the backbarButtonItem of the parent view controller (and not the view controller on which this bar button will be displayed). This automatically plugs in the default target, action etc. So you don't need to implement it

Custom Actions in WD4VC not working

Hi,
I created a composite iview, in that created a form, start point and endpoint.
The form has 2 buttons submit (standard action) and publish (custom action).
In endpoint i have 2 boolean variables for ResultState.
Similarly i have another composite iview.
Using this WD4VC applications i created callable objects in GP.
But all the custom actions defined in composite iviews are not working only the stadard submit action is working.
Kindly guide me or if you have any tutorial would be really helpful.

Custom button with action listener - will not invoke action listener

Hi
For whatever reason, I cannot find a concise example of a simple custom component that can invoke an action listener. The tutorials I've read so far either ignore this fundamental topic or only make the slightest make reference to it.
The best I have come up with - in terms of a simple prototype is below... but, the action listener is never invoked.... Can someone tell me what I am missing (full code below). Hopefully, what is missing or incorrect will be obvious to you JSF experts out there.
Thanks for any help!!

Urgent help needed -in customizing an OAF page --adding new button?

Hi,
We are currently implementing an OAF based oracle application.One of the requirements that the customer has is to display an additional button on the page button bar available out of box in an OAF page. This button needs to be enabled/disabled based on certain conditions. Also when the button is pressed a pl/sql api needs to be invoked. I know through personalization a new button can be created in the page button bar. But how do we handle the logic behind the button? Can we extend the page level controller?Will this survive future upgrades? If not then what is the alternative?
Please help!
Thanks!

You can follow the thread Calling PL/SQL Procedure for pl/sql call from controller example.

Button to execute custom action(s)

I have created 3 custom actions which print, e-mail, and fax Opportunities when executed. These actions work perfect from the SAP GUI, but I am unable to execute them from PCUI CRM as there is no button which is linked to these actions. Please note that there is a button which prints the opprotunity, and a button which sends an e-mail, but these buttons do not execute the custom Actions which I have created!
I would like to add a button (custom or standard) to PCUI CRM which would execute my custom Actions.
I understand how to add buttons to PCUI CRM, but I do not know how to link that button to my custom actions. Is this even necessary? I see an "Actions" button, but am not sure if this will automatically link to the custom actions.
Thanks in advance for any and all responses to my post.

Thanks for your your help but it was the same thing Timo said before and it didn´t work for me. But I found out what was wrong :) and you were both right.
I used a template that had a form and when I inserted a form on the page this form was inside the form in the template and that did so that it didn´t work.

Urgent: custom action buttons

i tried to program a midlet for the siemens s55 using custom action buttons (i.e. start, back, actions) but the siemens s55 doesn't show the action buttons like in the emulator instead it shows for example its own action buttons (i.e. options) and within that action button i find my own action buttons - or it simple adds an action button where i don't want to have one - how can i avoid that?
or to put it that way: what i can implement in a midlet that shows action buttons just like in the emulator and that on any mobile phone?
or if there isn't a solution for the above mentioned problem then how can i rename standard action buttons?

buurdb is correct. The mapping between the Commands added and the device's soft-buttons is at the implementation's discretion. If you are targetting a specific device only, then you can try to play around with the Command types and priorities to get the placement you want (the success you'll have depends on the device). In general it is advisable (specially if you want the application to be as portable as possible) to just just Command types and priorities that acurately reflect the actual Commands and let the implementation do their best job to map them successfully.

Custom actions - can we send email with VC button?

Hi all,
I wonder if there is a way to create custom actions for button in VC so that we can use to send an email with predefined content and some fields from a table? Will appreciate any idea reply real quick.
Thanks very much,
Tien.

Hi,
Currently you cannot trigger a background mail sending from VC. However, you can use the "hyperlink" system action on the button, and create a mailto: link.
This way the default mail editor will open up when clicking this button.
You can use dynamic expressions to build dynamic Recipient/Subject/Body to this mail message that will automatically be created for the user when clicking this button, and then the user can edit the mail message and send it.
Some more info about mailto - http://www.ianr.unl.edu/internet/mailto.html

How to add new button in Customized page....

Dear All,
I need to add new button to the page button bar in the UI page.I tried like this in the controller but still i can not get output:
OAPageButtonBarBean oapbb = (OAPageButtonBarBean)oawebbean.findIndexedChildRecursive("OrderPageButtons");
OAButtonBean cancelButton = (OAButtonBean)createWebBean(oapagecontext, OAWebBeanConstants.BUTTON_BEAN,
null, "cancelButton");
cancelButton.setText("Cancel");
oapbb.addIndexedChild(cancelButton);
Is there anything i missedout?
TIA

what you are doing incorrectly is
trying to get the handle to the OAPageButtonBarBean.
This is a named child of the parent bean(OAPageLayoutBean), and what you are trying to do is find it as a indexed child, this should give you a nullpointer excp in this line oapbb.addIndexedChild(cancelButton);
since the handle should be null.
to get the handle to OAPageButtonBarBean, use some like this
pageContext.getPageLayoutBean().getPageButtons();
and then add buttons to it.
Thanks
Tapash.

SharePoint 2013 App Custom Action in Wiki Page

</Elements>
The above code works fine, but I want the Custom Action to Open in a new Pop up box, like
javascript:SP.UI.ModalDialog.showModalDialog({ url: 'www.google.com', title: 'Default' });
The movement I change the CommandAction to JavaScript, the app breaks, if I remove the ~remoteAppUrl/Pages/.... the app does not work, it does not apper in the site content. and in appcatalog it shows wrong version number and says Valid App package
as no. what am I doing wrong.

Hi Carl,
As a security policy, a new customer cannot upload images and links. You can try to add links as text and upload your images to Onedrive and share it temporarily.

Have you looked at how SnippetRunner in the SDK implements the control strip for it's panel? It appears to me all the widgets are just regular widgets put in a ErasablePrimaryResourcePanelWidget, where its binding is set to kBindBottom | kBindLeft | kBindRight,. And of course, you want to specify the ErasablePrimaryResourcePanelWidget is in the bottom of your panel.
thanks!

How & where to use Java script to create new button in object detail page

Hi All,
I want to create "New/Add button" in object detail page. If i am not wrong i need to use java script for that but could you please let me know how & where to use Java script to create new button in object detail page in CRMOD.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Manish

Any related object on the detail page should have an "Add" or "New" or both buttons by default - This is vanilla functionality and will do the required action.
If you want to modify this behaviour and do something tricky you will potentially have to go for javascript. You should add the javascript on a custom web tab on that Object.
Admin --> Application Customization --> Contact -->Contact Web Applet
Now, add your javascript in the code area, after you select the type = HTML for this web applet, expose this web applet on the Contact detail layout and your javascript will be invoked whenever this page is loaded.
Check this online document to see how javascript can be embedded in CRM on Demand http://helponmyproject.com/TTOCOD/
