Search Help Implementation in Webdynpro

Hello
In my project there is a situation where a table is present which will be populated with data coming from different BAPI.
If I need to add a new row for this table , For the First column I need to have a search help capability . The search help capability should be in such a way that I need to show the Search help in a Table format which has one Master Column ( I.e. tree inside a table ) .
Please can any one suggest me how to go about it.
Thanks,
V Vinay

Vinay,
There is no way to alter OVS (Search Help) functionality in WebDynpro for Java.
Instead you may use pair of InputField + (Button|LinkToAction) and navigate to your own custom view. Here you may use Table with Master column.

Hide search help fields in webdynpro

Hi,
I have a requirement to hide the search help input fields for a webdynpro field. As it is standard search help, I can't change the search help. What is the best way to hide them ?

Hi,
You can deactivate it at context attribute level by selecting DEACTIVATED or if it is a standard component you can enhance the view to create a post exit for WDDOMODIFYVIEW and hide the search help for that NODE.
Thanks,
Anubhav

Search Help calling screen

Hi Guys,
please.. How can a Search Help implement a "CALL SCREEN" command?
I have a problem in a ABAP WebDynpro app, apparently because the search help is calling a SCREEN from the program SAPLSZA1, and I have to undo this. It shouldn't call.
This is the error message:
"Sending of dynpro SAPLSZA1 0201 not possible: No window system type specified"
The search help is KRED.
Any idea??
Thanks!

I have tried both. Same problem..
But the real problem is that I can not reproduce this in DEV. It only happens in QAS, and i can not find what is different. All the objects that I have checked so far (Search Help, Program, etc.) have no differences.
Tks

Search Help : brief description of what is it possible

Hello,
I need some helps about search helps with abap webdynpro. I understand with little test that automatic option and search help option have some difficulties ... Integration with DDIC and webdynpro is difficult, I understand, so my questions are...
- I have a easy requirement : a search help that displays a code from table and the description coming from text table. What is the best way to do it ? OVS ? Specific Component ? It is possible with dropdowbykey to display the code and a text whe we select it ?
- Other little question : Anybody knows a good cookbook for OVS implementation ?
I would like to implement these requirements by an easy workaround.
Thanks all for your answer and I hope this question helps other persons with the same requirement...
Best regards

Hi,
If you want to have only codes in search help, then for the context attribute associate the structure field which has check table associated to it. Then the framework will bring the values from check table, automatically. You can check if the check table is associated to attrbite by checking input help mode property of context attribute.
But if you wanto have text table values (text and values), then one option is to create the search help and associte it to the context attribute by using the property Dictionary search help.
Another way is to have OVS if you do not want to create new search help, some documentation for OVS:
<a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/30/d7fa41c915da6fe10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm">http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/30/d7fa41c915da6fe10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm</a>
An example for OVS is WDR_TEST_OVS.

How to Increase width of heading in search help list?

Hi..all..
I have created a search help exit with 7 fields in the output list.
When I view the search help in the webdynpro screen, iam
not able to view the result fully.,ie. the results are crumbled. the headings and data
are not displayed fully.
For eg:
For DIVISION(Field - SPART) it displays heading as 'DI'.
But, I have maintained 'Short,long and medium text as DIVISION.
The output list, tries to accomodate all the 7 fields, so as result, datas as well as
headings are crumbled together. I am not able to drag the headings, as we do in normal R/3.
This problem does not come, when we try to display limited fields in list output. say, if
I display 3 to 4 fields, it displays full data with headings properly.
So How can i increase the heading length,.
Is there any lenth restriction for field display in F4 help result list?
Need your valuable inputs.
regards,
Padma

SPART field refers to actual division value in SAP r/3. For ex: in a sales area my division is '00' which is of two characters. Try changing your Actual value to some character type and see.

collective search help therefore provides several alternative search
paths for possible entries.
o Append search helps can be used to enhance collective search helps

requiring a modification.
The three components of the input help process described by a search
help are the outer interface, the online behavior and the method of data

SVS, EVS, and OVS, Value Help and Search Help

what and how to use SVS, EVS, and OVS, Value Help and Search Help in abap webdynpro...Can anyone please give example link or document...As i am able to get on ovs but unable to get rest of other

SVS and EVS are Web Dynpro Java specific types of value help. They do not exist in Web Dynpro ABAP. In Web Dynpro ABAP we have Data Dictionary based Search Help, OVS, and Freely Programmed Value Help. In WDA 7.02 we have the slight variant on DDic Search Help called Suggest Values. It doesn't change the development model, just the runtime user experience.
You can read more about each of the types of WDA based value help in the online help:

Search Help hierarchy

Hi,
If for a field in a table I have the following search helps implemented:
References are as under
Ztab ->- Zfield --> ZdataE --> ZDomain
1. Search help at field level in table (Zfield)
2. Search help at data element (ZdataE)
3. Value Range in Domain (ZDomain)
4. This Z Field is used in a report which has another at-selection-screen on value request for the field referring to ZField.
Now when I press F4 on the selection screen of ZREPORT --? what would be displayed when I do F4 on the field referring to ZFIELD. And what would be the levels in which the options from above be used for F4.
Thanks-
HS.

Language specific Search help

Hi Experts,
I am using a data dictionary search help in my webdynpro component which in sap core (r/3) gives me 7 values all in english which is my login language , when i run the same search help in my webdynpro component on first hitting the serach button it gives me the same 7 values but if i keep hitting the 'start' it throws me values in other languages as well.
my issue now is i need to keep the value list to the initial 7 in the webdynpro component irrespective of the number of times we hit on the search button.
Please suggest the right approach towards resolving the above issue.
Thanks In Advance,
Chaitanya.

Is this an SAP provided search help or one you created? This doesn't sound like correct functionality. The number of hits shouldn't change if you perform the same search. Also if the keys/descriptions are language keyed, they shouldn't cross over and provide entries from other languages keys than your logon language. If the search help functions differently from the SAPGUI/classic dynpro usage than Web Dynpro ABAP, I would suggest opening a support ticket.

Matchcode Vs Search Help ?

Whats the difference in MATCHCODE and SEARCH HELP? What to and How to choose in between if reqd.
Plz help me.
Thanx.

Hi Sagar,
Search Help is used whenever you want create F4 on the selection screen other than the primary key field. There are two types of Search Helps. And Match code are used in older version now SAP has been replaced with Search Help.
1 Name of a Search Help
     A search help is an object of the ABAP Dictionary with which input helps
     (F4 helps) can be defined.
     There are the following types of search helps:
     o   Elementary search helps implement a search path for determining the
         possible entries.
     o   Collective search helps contain several elementary search helps. A
         collective search help therefore provides several alternative search
         paths for possible entries.
     o   Append search helps can be used to enhance collective search helps
         delivered by SAP with customer-specific search paths without
         requiring a modification.
     The three components of the input help process described by a search
     help are the outer interface, the online behavior and the method of data
collection.
The outer interface is defined by specifying the interface parameters.
They define the context information to be used in the input help process
and the attributes to be sent to the screen by the input help.
The search help attachment defines the field contents for parametrizing
an import parameter and the fields of the input template in which the
contents of the export parameters should be returned.
The dialog behavior and data collection are defined differently for
elementary search helps and collective search helps.
The behavior of a search help can be made more flexible than usual with
search help exits.Hope it clarifies your doubt.

Ameer Baba.

Search Help start of Enter

Hello,
I have been using several search helps on my Webdynpro application. One of the things that I can not figure out is how to start the search by clicking enter. Currently, once I have search help parameters screen up, I have to click on "Start Search" button to kick off search, hitting enter does nothing. But when I call the same search help within se11, hitting enter kicks it off. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Alex

I missed the important Part...
Are you able to see a method ONSELOPTENTER with event on_enter of selectoptions component.
If yes, then please enter the following code.
data l_wdevent_dummy type ref to cl_wd_custom_event.
onactionstartsearch(
      wdevent = l_wdevent_dummy ).
Similarly you call also enhance WDR_OVS component.
Enhance the wdomodifyview of View search.
Insert the following code in the post exit method.
data : lr_trp_cnt type ref to cl_wd_transparent_container,
       lt_ui_element type cl_wd_uielement=>tt_uielement ,
       lr_uielement type ref to cl_wd_uielement,
       lv_classname type abap_abstypename,
       lr_inp_fld type ref to cl_wd_input_field.
if first_time = abap_true.
lr_trp_cnt ?= view->get_element( 'CONTAINER1' ).
if lr_trp_cnt is bound.
lt_ui_element = lr_trp_cnt->get_children( ).
endif.
loop at lt_ui_element into lr_uielement.
lv_classname = cl_abap_classdescr=>get_class_name( lr_uielement ).
if lv_classname = '\CLASS=CL_WD_INPUT_FIELD'.
lr_inp_fld ?= lr_uielement.
lr_inp_fld->set_on_enter( 'SEARCH_HANDLE' ).
endif.
endloop.
endif.
Create a new action called "Search_handle" in Serach view of WDR_OVS. Insert the following code in the method of "SEARCH_HANDLE".
onactionstart_search( wdevent ).
The idea here is to regsiter an on enter event for all Input fields and trigger the same functionality as triggered by start search button.
Hope you are on the latest SP13 as this may not work with older SP level in abscence of on enter event for select options.
