SAP RM: How can I update the open record view container

Question

Hi,
I add a custom method to import a document in to the record tree. Every thing works fine, but only the open record view is not updated. So I stll see the model node and not the instance node.
I think I forgot a action after I replace the node with the instance. But I don't found a method for this.
When I close the record and open it again. The view of the tree is correct.
Regards
Thomas Fanninger
Code-Example:
CALL METHOD ME->CREATE_INSTANCE_CHILD
    EXPORTING
      GID                    = gid
      ACTION                 = 'ADD'
      CHILD_SPSID            = 'Z_RM_PS_SPS_DOCUMENT_TEMPLATE'
    IMPORTING
      NEW_GID                = new_gid
    EXCEPTIONS
      NOT_FOUND              = 1
      CANCELLED              = 2
      CARDCHECK_FAILED       = 3
      NOT_ALLOWED            = 4
      INTERNAL_ERROR         = 5
      NOT_COMPATIBLE         = 6
      SUBTREE_NOT_COMPATIBLE = 7
      others                 = 8.
  IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
    MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
               WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
  ENDIF.
  doc_role_line = '*'.
  APPEND doc_role_line to doc_role_tab.
  CALL METHOD GLOB_INSTANCE_XMLDOM->REPLACE_ELEMENT_BY_GID
    EXPORTING
      ELEMENT_GID     = new_gid
      DESCRIPTION_TAB = doc_descr_tab
      AREA_POID_TAB   = tab_area_poid
      SRM_POID_TAB    = tab_srm_poid
      SP_POID_TAB     = tab_sp_poid
      SPSID           = str_sps_id
      ROLE_TAB        = doc_role_tab
      RELA_TAB        = doc_rela_tab
    EXCEPTIONS
      REPLACE_FAILED  = 1
      others          = 2.
  IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
    MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
               WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
  ENDIF.

Hi Thomas,
ViewContainer is used to hold the views which have to share the same
screen area..
That is, If you more than two vies and want to show one view to be visible
for an operation you will use this ViewContainer.
You can specify a view to be displayed, bu using Plugs.
wdThis.wdFire<PlugtoView>();
pls check these examples:
Example :
Updating fields
swc_set_element wi_container 'ORDER_NO' rbselbest-ebeln.
Modify container
CALL FUNCTION 'SWW_WI_CONTAINER_MODIFY'
EXPORTING
wi_id = wi_id "Workitem ID
do_commit = 'X'
TABLES
wi_container = wi_container. "New container merged with the workflow container.
IF sy-subrc 0.
MESSAGE ID sy-msgid TYPE sy-msgty NUMBER sy-msgno
WITH sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.
ENDIF.
That's strange because If I try to update directly in the method it works !!
swc_set_element wi_container 'ORDER_NO' '123132132'.
This MF works in 4.6B but not in ECC6.0 ???
Answer: There are lot of changes mainly with respect to SWW_WI* function modules when you move from 4.6 to ECC 6.0.
Some of these SWW_WI* doesnt gurantee the correct behavioud and we did face this problem. Please change all your SWW_WI* function modules with SAP_WAPI* equivalents.
I knew SWW_WI* are working fine in some scenario's in ECC but it doesnt gurantee the behaviour always and even if you raise a message to SAP, SAP came back saying from ECC onwards developers should use SAP_WAPI* and SWW_WI* may not be supported !!
Better please replace your SWW_WI* FMs with equivalent SAP_WAPI. We have all equivalents. For SWW_WI_CONTAINER_MODIFY equiavalent is SAP_WAPI_WRITE_CONTAINER. Check for all SAP_WAPI in SE37 for a list of all SAP_WAPI FMs.
hope this helps u.
kindly reward if found helpful.
cheers,
Hema.
