OOP Generic Object Manager

Has any of the OOP programmers out there ever developed a generic object manager?  What I mean by this is a an Object in LabVIEW that can hold references to all objects in an application that can be accessed generically through a name input and not via know each individual class type.  I have been trying to create a class that essentially has as its attributes an array of LV Objects since all objects descend from this class.  I am struggling with getting the specific class back from the generic class.  If I probe the array it shows the class specific type.
So what I am trying to do is search an array of standard LabVIEW Objects for a specific LabVIEW type.  Here I created an array of LabVIEW object by casting specific classes to the most generic class - LabVIEW Object.  Then I want to search an array for a specific class by taking a specific class constant and casting it to a more generic class.  It seems like it keeps the reference information (ID).
Any thoughts?

LV2009 added a function which is probably crucial to delivering a nice solution to this problem. The function is called Preserve Run-time Class. It allows you to propogate the strict type of an object through a subVI that is coded to operate on a more generic class type.
Here's an example written in LV2009 for a simple class that stores any other LV class object by name.

  • Display and Manage Attachments of Generic Object Services in Webdynpro

    Hi All,
    I need to have a button in the webdynpro that when a user clicks it will pop up a table that display a list of files already attached to a Generic Object Services(GOS) and also allow the user to delete the attachments and upload new attachments.
    Can anyone advice me of any Function Modules or Methods that i can use to achieve those functions (retrive and display attachments in the GOS, delete existing attachment from GOS, upload new attachment to GOS).
    Thanks and Regards,

  • Attach Documents to Custom Program Using Generic Object Services

    Hi There,
             I created Object type ZGOS and used in the custom program, when i try to attach documents it allows and then shows in attachment list.
            But When I use that program next time that document attached is not available.
    Is there any separate save Class or FM available for saving the document to the specified custom program.
    I am using following code in the program,
      CLEAR obj.
    SET OBJECT TYPE TO 'ZGOS'
      obj-objtype = objtype.
    SET OBJECT KEY = REPORT NAME
      SELECT SINGLE name
      FROM trdir
      INTO obj-objkey
      WHERE name = sy-repid.
    CALL GOS MANAGER WITHOUT CONTAINER (WILL BE DISPLAYED IN THE TOOLBAR)
      CREATE OBJECT manager

  • Attachment List in Generic Object Services disabled

    I want to attach documents to a work centre (transaction CR02, business object BUS0011). This has been configured so that the document will reside in the content management server and will be accessed using Archivelink. I can successfully store the doc using trasnaction OAWD, and can then retrieve the doc using transaction OAOR. The links are correctly created in table TOA03.
    However, when I try and view the docs from the Generic object services button for transaction CR02 the "Attachment List" link is greyed out.
    I've just set this up for invoices (object BKPF) so can't understand why this hasn't worked for work centres. 
    I've implemented the interface IFARCH21 for BUS0011, and this hasn't resolved the issue.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks
    Richard

    Richard,
    Your using the wrong object, I don't have access to an SAP system right now, so I can't tell you what the correct object is, but when it's configured correctly in OAC3 it will not be grey out.  Best thing to do it see what the object the program is publishing.  This is what GOS is looking for.  IFARCH21 is not the answer, unless your using workflow

  • Attachments Activating Generic Object Services (GOS) in VA41/VA42 at item level

    Hi to All,
    I'm trying to manage attachments for sales document at item level.
    I've already read this wonderfull post (Activating Generic Object Services Toolbar in SAP Objects) but I didn't understand how manage attachments at item level.
    Please, if anyone has ideas of how to achieve it please share solutions.
    Thanks & Best Regards,
    Umberto

    Hi again,
    Thanks for the answers, they were very helpful,
    but the customer isn't happy with the "Store business Documents" and it's Drag n' drop interface.
    I'm to develop a new GOS menu item, that will show
    a normal Open File dialog, and a following popup
    where the user can change the document title shown
    in the Attachment list.
    ARCHIVOBJECT_CREATE_FILE and ARCHIVOBJECT_GET_TABLE
    along with ARCHIV_CONNECTION_INSERT should probably
    cover the functionality I need.
    I know both the BOR type ID and the object ID is
    available to me in the Execute() method of the GOS menu handler I'm overriding, but for the ARCHIV_CONNECTION_INSERT, I'm supposed to supply an AR_OBJECT parameter (I know that this information is stored in the TOAOM table), but I have no clue where to get this information for the current object I'm trying to add an attachment for.

  • Attach Documents using Generic Object Services

    With reference to Manual Bassani's SDN Contribution of code examples on how to attach documents using Generic Object Services - we have found that since implementing ECC 6 the following code no longer works (at the end of page 9):
    CALL CREATE ATTACHMENT SERVICE FROM TOOLBAR
    WHEN 'ATTACH'.
    CALL METHOD MANAGER->START_SERVICE_DIRECT
    EXPORTING
    IP_SERVICE = 'CREATE_ATTA'
    IS_OBJECT = OBJ
    EXCEPTIONS
    NO_OBJECT = 1
    OBJECT_INVALID = 2
    EXECUTION_FAILED = 3
    OTHERS = 4.
    It is necessary to use IP_SERVICE = 'PCATTA_CREA' to get this to function correctly.
    The original document can be found at [https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/0e6b0d95-0a01-0010-4696-ca0a48de5fb3]

  • GOS: Generic Object Services (BC-SRV-GBT)

    Hi All,
    I have a requirement to implement GOS for our Netting document - object type OIA_BUS001, we need to link a url to our document. And I managed to get the toolbox to appear besides the gui title, using both the FM SWU_OBJECT_PUBLISH and the OO codes that was provided in the SAP help.
    But the results is not quite right - in both cases, when I click on the toolbox -> create, all the functions listed, 'Create attachement, 'create note', etc, are greyed out.
    Is there something that I'm missing here?
    That's not the least of my problems. When (being optimistic here) this ok, I need to find a way on how to update the url in the background....
    Appreciate if anybody have some pointers here.

  • Generic Object Services (HR Master Overview Screen)

    Hi, i need to incorporate the Generic Object Services functionality to the HR Master Data linking it at three levels, namely,
    Scenarios
         1) GOS at Employee Level
         2) GOS at Employee-Infotype Level
         3) GOS at PD Object Level.
    I've managed to find the solution to Scenario's 1 and 3 while i'm still trying to incorporate scenario 2.
    Can someone let me know if there's any User-Exit that gets triggered at the Infotype Overview screen level from transaction PA30?
    I couldnt locate an exit that'd get triggered upon calling the overview screen in the HR Master Data transaction (PA30). So is the trouble.
    Helpful answers will be rewarded with points

    Hi Venkat,
    Could you please share the steps on how you got the GOS at Employee Level to work?

    Hi,

    Kindly help !

    Hi Neha,
    I'm sorry I don't have answer to your question but I wonder if you could help me.
    I'm looking at OSS note 530792 to configure GOS 'create attachment' option to copy the attachments to the archive server. currently, these are written to the SAP office tables SOC3, SOFFCONT1, etc and I want to use the archivelink and SAPHTTP and copy to the archive storage.
    Have you successfully managed to configure your system since you mentioned TOA01?
    In the same GOS menu I've activated the 'Business document' option and can copy these to the archive server by correctly configuring OAC2 and OAC3.
    I'll really appreciate of you could please share your knowledge.
    Thanks.

  • Configuring KPRO for generic object services

    Hello,
       I have a requirement where I have to configure KPRO as the storage for generic object services. We are using the generic object services for materials and hence using the Business object BUS1001. Please let me know of how to do the same or if we have any documents for configuring the Generic object services and KPRO please provide me the same.
    Regards
    Nilanjan

    Hi,
    i reply to the question you posted in my thread:
    I solved the request without using Kpro. Kpro ist just a more comfortable way in managing documents. But using ArchiveLink and GOS is all you need if you just want to upload documents and view them in a linked transaction. I would be able to give you a better help if you would give a short introdcution in what you plan to do in detail.

  • Connect a Word document instance to Generic Object Services/BDS

    Hello all,
    how can I manage to get a word document created via the Doc_template step to a certain Business Object (like Business Partner). I tried to trace that but I got lost in generations of codes like archivelink, sap office, knowledge provider etc.) I guess it should not be that difficult as I have the key of the word doc instance and the key of the business partner instance. What I want at last is to have that word document linked via attachments/linked objects or something similar....
    Kindest regards from Germany,
    Markus

    Markus,
    Welcome to the forum!
    I have done this sometime ago at a past client site and will see if I can find the code.
    If I remember correctly, this involves converting the attachment to an SOFM object (using method CREATESOFM of BO WF_DOC) and then using function module BINARY_RELATION_CREATE to attach it to the BO. The links below will give you more info. Also Google for BINARY_RELATION_CREATE which should give you more links.

    does anybody know, if it is possible to show the originally filename of a document in the attachment list of generic object services?
    If I add more than one document for the same document type in generic object services, I'm not able to distinguish the documents.
    When I want to save an attachment to local PC, SAP offers me the originally filename as default. Therefore, the filename has to be saved somewhere...
