How to get row number of selected entry from OVS search result

Hi,
Anyone having any idea on how to get row number of the selected entry/ how to differentiate rows in OVS search result in ON_OVS method?
Regards,
Jatin

Hi,
You can get the selected record to <ls_selection> structure in co phase 3.
From that structure you can get what ever field you want.,
check the below code for reference,

Hi Niraja,
As how discussed in the email we can get this additional push button as how desired by enhancing the standard component WDR_OVS. Just click on the "Enhance" (spiral kind of button) button present in the application toolbar & create an Enhancement Implementation for the component. Now within this standard component you have the corresponding layout present in the SEARCH view. So go to this view & make the necessary changes. From now on what all components which declare a component usage of the WDR_OVS would be getting this newly modified UI & functionality.

Problem with OVS search result table..pls hlp

Hi friends,
I have crated an OVS search help. .and its working fine when i hit F4.
but when i hit search button.. the result table is showing more number of rows(blank), though the result has just 2 records returned.
there are many no of blank rows. i wnat to get rid of this.
i also tried to give the default no of rows in my componet (OVS), layout table.
but still its not decreasing.
can someone help me howto solve this.
Niraja

Hi Niraja,
When you implement event handler for OVS search, you must have seen the code that gets automatically generated when you assign OVS event to that event handler. i.e.
case ovs_callback_object->phase_indicator.
THE FIRST PHASE WHICH SET CONFIG PARAMETERS
when if_wd_ovs=>co_phase_0. "configuration phase, may be omitted
    in this phase you have the possibility to define the texts,
    if you do not want to use the defaults (DDIC-texts).....
and so on.......
so here inside co_phase_0 you can set the requried data by calling this method:
ovs_callback_object->set_configuration(
                label_texts = lt_label_texts
                column_texts = lt_column_texts
                group_header = lv_group_header
                window_title = lv_window_title
                table_header = lv_table_header
                col_count    = 2
               row_count    = 20 ).
Here I have hard coded no. of rows to 20 you can just set it to variable which may be holding your rowcount.
I hope this will help you.

How to set column names in OVS search help of ALV EDIT

Hi All,
I have a OVS search help for my ALV EDIT column.This OVS will have two columns,I need to give the names(name1 , name2) to the columns.
I am writing the below codo in phase 0.
      ls_text-name = 'Column1'.
      ls_text-value = 'name1'.
      INSERT ls_text INTO TABLE lt_column_texts.
      ls_text-name = 'Column2'.
      ls_text-value = 'name2'.
      INSERT ls_text INTO TABLE lt_column_texts.

But,the column names are not getting set.Please provide your inputs.

hi,
About your requirement, i don't know why you need to code in "Phase 3" of OVS.
"Phase 3" is used for transporting your selected value to Your ALV.
I think, the reason why you loose the result table including your customized column title, is that you loose the "Phase 2".
Generally, in the past i used OVS as the following code simply.Just one example:
* declare data structures for the fields to be displayed and
* for the table columns of the selection list, if necessary
types:
    begin of lty_stru_input,
*   add fields for the display of your search input here
      carrid type string,
      connid type string,
    end of lty_stru_input.
types:
    begin of lty_stru_list,
*   add fields for the selection list here
      carrid type string,
      connid type string,
      text   type string,
    end of lty_stru_list.
data: ls_search_input type lty_stru_input,
        lt_select_list   type standard table of lty_stru_list,
        ls_text          type wdr_name_value,
        lt_label_texts   type wdr_name_value_list,
        lt_column_texts type wdr_name_value_list,
case ovs_callback_object->phase_indicator.
    when if_wd_ovs=>co_phase_0. "configuration phase, may be omitted
*   in this phase you have the possibility to define the texts,
*   if you do not want to use the defaults (DDIC-texts)
      ls_text-name = 'CARRID'. "must match a field name of search
      ls_text-value = 'Search Field-Carrid'.
      insert ls_text into table lt_label_texts.
      ls_text-name = 'CONNID'. "must match a field name of search
      ls_text-value = 'Search Field-Connid'.

How to disable a input field in OVS search

Hi friends,
I have crated a OVS search help for matnr.
i have two input field like matnr and mat desc.. user can enter any value and hit SEARCH..
im getting results.
Now i want to hardoced a value of matnr = 001.. and make this field read only..
how can we do it..
i just took a example of matnr and mat desc. to make u understand easily...
kindly help.
Niraja

Hi Niraja,
You can initialize the value for MATNR in the phase 1 of the eventhandler method for OVS. Try refer the code segment below. Am initializing the values for MATNR & MAKTX fields in the lines:
ls_search_input-matnr = 'D*'.
ls_search_input-maktx = '*'.
*     pass the values to the OVS component
      ovs_callback_object->set_input_structure(
          input = ls_search_input ).

OVS Search Help in Web Dyrnpro Java Online Interactive Form

Hi Experts,
Is there any OVS Search Help control we can use in Online Interactive Form as a as we have in Web Dynpro java. Can we assign this search help to any existing control.
If it is not possible can we call a Web Dynpro View as a popup from Intefactive Form such that field search can be done in popup window and on selection the resultant record should populate to Interactive Form control.
Please suggest me feasible solutions
Thanks
Chinna..

OVS Search Help

Hi,
I am using OVS search help for an input field.
I want to know whether it is possible to use personal value list in OVS, Like one in dictionary search help.
If yes, then how to proceed for that and also suggest any dummy program if possible.
Regards
Pankaj Aggarwal

Hi Pankaj,
I think, 'personal value list' in value help is only possible for Dictionary Search Helps, but not for OVS & Freely programmed. Check out the NOTE section of the [link|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/47/9ef8cc9b5e3c5ce10000000a421937/content.htm]. It says below.
Before programming your own input helps, see whether your input helps can be depicted using an ABAP Dictionary search help. If you consistently use the search help and thus the default input helps, your Web Dynpro application is more uniform. In addition, the ABAP Dictionary search help allows you to maintain a personal values list (favorites).
This clearly means that, PERSONAL VALUE LIST is only for dictionary helps.
Incase if you use mix of dictionary helps & OVS helps and to make your WD application uniform, its recommended to disable PERSONAL VALUE LIST for dictionary helps.
Hope it answers your question.
Regards,
Manne.

Personalizing columns in OVS search result list

Hi,
Is it possible to provide an option for personalize the columns by the end user in the OVS search result something like: settings available for ALV's?
regards,
Jatin
Edited by: Jatin Grover on Nov 9, 2011 8:10 AM

Hi Jatin,
As per my understanding you want to provide a button/link on the ALV header which will have customize option for the user to select what all fields he wants to display on the OVS
TO achieve this:
1. Create a button/link on the ALV header.
2. This button/link will call a used component/view which will have alv/split screen to select the desired fields.
3. THis view/component will bind to node having all the posible columns for the OVS.
4. on selecting desired fields the value for the fields in the node set to abap_true (or anything) as desired.
5. In the OVS method get all the fields from the node having value abap_true or as specified and create the OVS catalog accordingly in STEP0/1.

How is the OVS search works?

Hello Again,
I have a question. I want to know if within my OVS search can i put the search values like for example if i'm looking for a name put in muy name's field something like this: "mar" or "". The thing is i want to know if the OVS search is like an intelligent search. i mean for the first example (upside) the result table brings me all the records which names begins with "MAR" and for the second one, brings me all the records existing. Can i do that? is that implicit in the implementation of OVS?, if not, how can i do that? do you guys have some papers that gives me any idea of how to do that?.
Regards,
MC

>is that implicit in the implementation of OVS?, if not, how can i do that?
It is not implicit search for good reason. All it does is, on clicking the button "Go", [onQuery|http://help.sap.com/javadocs/NW04S/current/wd/com/sap/tc/webdynpro/progmodel/api/IWDOVSContextNotificationListener.html#onQuery(com.sap.tc.webdynpro.progmodel.api.IWDNodeElement,%20com.sap.tc.webdynpro.progmodel.api.IWDNode)] is called. Now you do the search you want to display the results.
>do you guys have some papers that gives me any idea of how to do that?.
I would suggest this [javadoc|http://help.sap.com/javadocs/NW04S/current/wd/com/sap/tc/webdynpro/progmodel/api/IWDOVSContextNotificationListener.html]

How to populate the error message in OVS search popup

Hi All
We have the following requirement to display the error message in the OVS popup.
currently we are opening an OVS popup on click of an action successfully.
Currently we had put the error message in the ApplyResult() method, but error message was not displaying on the screen in the OVS popup itself & currently popup is being closed which should not happen
Thanks
Kalki Reddy

Hi,
Currently we had put the error message in the ApplyResult() method, but error message was not displaying on the screen in the OVS popup itself & currently popup is being closed which should not happen
the OVS is not in our control its framework controlled. when applyResult method is called, framework automatically closes the pop up and shows the error messages in the main window( if any error is thrown in the apply result method) .
Please give more details about ur requirement.

One search help for multiple select-options in webdynpro abap

I have a table for keeping different organizational units' values of different systems. I have pasted some sample data from this table at the end of this mail. On the screen I want to have 1 select-options filed for werks, and 1 select-options filed for vkorg. (In fact I will have more org. unit fields...) In the beginning of my application the user will select sid.
If the user selects ADS as SID, when he opens search-help for the first org. unit (werks), he will see the records with SID: ADS, VARBL = $WERKS, LANGU = SY-LANGU.
If the user selects AGT as SID, when he opens search-help for the second org. unit (vkorg), he will see the records with SID: AGT, VARBL = $VKORG, LANGU = SY-LANGU.
I have created a search-help taking SIDD, VARBL and LANGU as import parameters; used field mapping and bound this search help to my table. I have created 2 context nodes : org1 and org2 having attributes SID, VARBL, VALUE, LANGU .
I have assigned related SID, VARBL and Langu values to these attributes at runtime as I needed. That way, if I use input field and reference to the related context attributes org1-value and org2-value2 accordingly, search help works well as I want.
However, when I use select-options field , I can not bind the field to the context data. I can give reference only to ddic structure. Is there any way to reference to a context attribute? I searched for this in SDN, but could find nothing.
I think I won't be able to use this way. What do you say?
As I read from forums maybe using OVS help will be suitable for me. But I have to use one search-help for all select-options fields. Do you know how I can determine the active select-options field and pass its name (for instance "werks" ) as parameter to this OVS search help. (Also I'll pass SID and LANGU.)
MY TABLE (ZBYYT080) CONTENTS:
SID     VARBL     VALUE     LANGU     VTEXT
ADS     $WERKS     1     T     Werk 0001
ADS     $WERKS     11     T     OZYAS GIDA URETIM YERI
ADS     $WERKS     5501     T     BOYA GEBZE FABRİKASI
ADS     $WERKS     5502     T     BOYA CIGLI FABRİKASI
AGT     $WERKS     2301     T     KAMLI DAMIZLIK
AGT     $WERKS     9601     T     PANAR DENIZ URETIM YERI
ADS     $VKORG     22     T     AA KİMYASALLAR
ADS     $VKORG     8001     T     İINSAAT BOYALARI
AGT     $VKORG     6500     T     DAMk St.Org
AGT     $VKORG     5400     T     PANAR St.Org.
I wish I'm clear enough..
I will be gald if someone answers me as soon as possible...
Thanks İn advance..

Hi,
Your ques is how to refer to a DDIC search help to refer to selection screen parameter ?
Am I right ?
If Yes, then in the interface IF_WD_SELECT_OPTIONS
method ADD_SELECTION_FIELD, ADD_PARAMETER_FIELD etc
have importing param like I_VALUE_HELP_TYPE and I_VALUE_HELP_ID, I_VALUE_HELP_MODE, I_VALUE_HELP_STRUCTURE
etc which may help you to link your create DDIC Search help to selection screen params.
this is just a clue from my side. I haven't tried it myself.
You can go to the where used list of this method and find some sample implementations which use these params.
Hope this helps.
Regards
