OrgChart: calling WDA from Details

Question

Hi guys,
I have a specific need: call WDA from employee Detail. It should be able also to pass personnel number into WDA like parameter.
Any idea, how to do that?

Answer 1

Hi Sergey,
Do you have any experience of using XSL or customizing VSN solutions? If not this might prove a bit tricky. You should try and use existing examples in the application. Meanwhile, I will try to help.
2. Create file 'zhr_tmc_employee_profile.xsl' with content:
<a href="http://myhost:myport/sap/bc/webdynpro/sap/zhr_tmc_employee_profile?PERNR={/cds/data/record/field[@name=PERNR]}&sap-rtl=&sap-accessibility=&sap-wd-configid=ZHR_TMC_EMPLOYEE_PROFILE">Press here</a>
If this is the only code in the document then the document will not work. Look at other XSL documents in the Templates folder to understand how they work.
4. Edit PresentationResources.xml in my build (.delta folder, and root folder of build as well). Added this:
<presentation name="zhr_tmc_employee_profile">
<file name="MyTemplates\zhr_tmc_employee_profile.xsl">
Did you add the </presentation> tag after it?
5. Change 'presentation' tag in my detail xml in folder Detailconfiguration, replace content with 'zhr_tmc_employee_profile'.
What detail configuration are you using? The change should look something like this:
<section enable="true" name="647308B3-0C68-4829-50AF-30C5668EDC40">          <fieldsetname>6abf642e58534f80942731270cb37b67</fieldsetname>
     <presentation>zhr_tmc_employee_profile</presentation>
</section>
Can you check the cds.log file after you open the details panel? The problem is likely to be the XSL file is not a correct XSL file.
Best regards,
