Answer 1

you can try this ,
1.after creating the attribute which you wanna populate in the context of your node .
2.Go to do inint method of your view and try using the code below with node and attributes which you need.
method wddoinit .
data:     rootnode_info type ref to if_wd_context_node_info,
      rootnode_info1 type ref to if_wd_context_node_info,
      it_value_bet type table of wdr_context_attr_value.
     " node_arrid type ref to if_wd_context_node_info.
rootnode_info = wd_context->get_node_info( ).
" ADD A CHILD NODE TO THE ROOT.
call method rootnode_info->get_child_node
  exporting
    name       = 'ARRANGEMENT_ID'
  receiving
    child_node = rootnode_info1.
data:    lt_valueset type wdr_context_attr_value_list  ,
      l_value type wdr_context_attr_value.
" fill up internal table from table***********************
data : itab_pa_id type standard table of /sappssrm/pa_idt,
       wa_sappssrm_pa_id like line of itab_pa_id.
select * from /sappssrm/pa_idt into table itab_pa_id.
loop at itab_pa_id into  wa_sappssrm_pa_id.
   l_value-value      = wa_sappssrm_pa_id-arrangement_id.
   l_value-text    =  wa_sappssrm_pa_id-description.
insert l_value into table lt_valueset.
endloop.
I guess this should help .
