Diff between elementary & collective serach help?

frends tell me diff between elementary & collective serach help?

1) Elementary search helps describe a search path. The elementary search help must define where the data of the hit list should be read from (selection method), how the exchange of values between the screen template and selection method is implemented (interface of the search help) and how the online input help should be defined (online behavior of the search help).
2) Collective search helps combine several elementary search helps. A collective search help thus can offer several alternative search paths.
3)An elementary search help defines the standard flow of an input help.
4) A collective search help combines several elementary search helps. The user can thus choose one of several alternative search paths with a collective search help.
5)A collective search help comprises several elementary search helps. It combines all the search paths that are meaningful for a field.
6)Both elementary search helps and other search helps can be included in a collective search help. If other collective search helps are contained in a collective search help, they are expanded to the level of the elementary search helps when the input help is called.

A collective search help combines several elementary search helps. The user can thus choose one of several alternative search paths with a collective search help.
Elimentary search help is a single search help and you will not see any more TAB's in the search help you will see only one dialog screen or directly the data.
In the case of collective search help you will have collection of search helps in to one search help. Dialogs of each search will be available as one TAB in the search help for that field. You include search helps which are similar into one collective search and use that for your field.

Hide append serach help

Hi,
I have few append type search helps available in a collective search help "DEBI". i want to hide 2 of the append seacrh helps. But when i try to do that the hide checkbox for "append search help" comes inactive and it doesn't allow me to hide .
is there any other way to hide append search helps within a collective search help.
pls advice.

Hi Neha,
DEBI is standard search help and i am having authorisation for modification. but concern is that it contains 3 append search helps in it which i want to hide. but it is not allowing me to hide those 3 append search helps as the checkbox for "hide" is inactive in case of append search help.
is there any other way to hide append search help within a serach help. i know we can hide elementary or collective search help by making "hide" as "X" but what about append search helps. it doesn't allow modification in Hide option as the checkbox for hide is inactive.
pls advice....

Search Help with in a serach help required in SRM 4.0

Hi,
Requirement: Search help required for Product Category field in the Search help for Product(BBPH_PRODUCT) in SRM portal.
This search help is used in Create shopping Cart transaction. The hyper link on Internal Goods/Services leads to the search help BBPH_PRODUCT.
My analysis:
The field Product Category (CATEGORY_ID) has search help(COM_CAT_HIER) attached to its data element. When I single test the search help BBPH_PRODUCT in SAP GUI,I can see the search help for field product category in the selection dialogue box. However the same does not appear on the corresponding screen in HTML.
Please let me know whether I need to do some thing to make the search help appear on the HTML screen?
With Regards,
Prakash Kamath

Hi Prakash,
I have the same problem but with another field. Unloading point. Could you please tell me how did you solve this problem with displaying F4 help on html/ SRM portal?
Thank you very much.

Serach help in Select-option in WD ABAP

Hi Folks,
I am using WDR_SELECT_OPTIONS reusable component in my Component. I want to attach customized search help particular fild while creating select-option using
wd_this->m_handler->add_selection_field(
             i_id        = 'IWERK'
             it_result   = lt_range_table
             i_read_only = read_only ).
Can anyone explian how can I attach search help here.
Regards,
Vishal.

Hi Vishal,
If its a search help, use the following code:
lt_range_table = wd_this->m_handler->create_range_table( i_typename = 'S_PLANETYE' ).
wd_this->m_handler->add_selection_field(
i_id = 'S_PLANETYE'
it_result = lt_range_table
i_read_only = read_only
I_VALUE_HELP_TYPE = 'SEARCHHELP'
i_value_help_id = 'Z_SAPLANE' ).
In this example, 'Z_SAPLANE' is the dictionary search help.
This will solve your problem
For further details, goto interface IF_WD_VALUE_HELP_HANDLER to get a list of values you can supply to parameter I_VALUE_HELP_TYPE.
This is similar to what you do with a context, similar to the options you get in the dropdown for Input Help property.

Chitrali

Search Help Exits:
Creating Elementary Search Helps
Procedure
In the initial screen of the ABAP Dictionary, select object class Search help, enter the name of the search help and choose Create.
A dialog box appears in which you must select the type of search help.
Select Elementary search help and choose .
The maintenance screen for elementary search helps appears.
Enter an explanatory text in the field Short text.
You can for example find the search help at a later time using this short text.
In the Definition tab page enter the selection method of the search help.
You can enter the name of a table or a view (database view, projection view or help view) here. If you enter a table that has a text table, the name of the text table is automatically entered in the corresponding field.
Using the input help (F4 help), select fields of the selection method as parameter in the Search help parameter area. Select the fields that should be used in the dialog box for value selection or in the hit list.
If the selection method is a table that has a text table, both the fields of the table and the fields of the text table are offered in the input help.
The data element of the parameter is automatically copied from the selection method. The data element defines the output attributes and the F1 help of the parameter in the hit list and in the dialog box for value selection.
You can assign the parameter another data element. To do so, select the Mod flag. The Data element field is now ready for input. Then select a data element with the input help (F4 help). Only data elements whose data type, length and number of decimal places is the same as those of the previous data element can be assigned.
This removes the link between the data element of the search help parameter and the data element of the selection method field having the same name. If you cancel the Mod flag, the data element of the assigned table field is used again.
Define the attributes of the search help parameters.
Select the IMP flag if it is an import parameter. Select the EXP flag if it is an export parameter.
You can define the dialog for the input help with the fields LPos, SPos and SDis. Enter the parameter position in the hit list in LPos. If you enter nothing or the value 0 here, the parameter is not displayed in the hit list.
Enter the parameter position in the dialog box for value selection in SPos. If you enter nothing or the value 0 here, the parameter is not displayed in the dialog box for value selection.
Set the SDis flag if the parameter should be a pure display field in the dialog box for value selection. The user is thus informed that the contents of the parameter restrict the value, but he cannot change this restriction. This makes sense for example when the parameter is an import parameter or if it has a default value.
You can assign the parameter a default value in the Default value field.
Select the dialog type of the search help.
The dialog type defines how the hit list is displayed in the input help.
Save your entries.
A dialog box appears in which you have to assign the search help a development class.
Choose .
Do not forget to link the search help to a screen field. The search help attachment is not part of the search help definition; it is part of the object definition to which the search help is attached.
Result
The search help is activated. You can find information about the activation flow in the activation log, which you can display with Utilities ® Activation log. If errors occurred during activation, the activation log is automatically displayed.
Other Options
Assign a hot key: If the search help is to be accessed with a hot key, you must enter a one-place ID in the Hot key field. All the elementary search helps contained in a collective search help should have different short cuts.
Assign a search help exit: In exceptions, you might have to change the standard flow defined by the search help with a search help exit. In this case enter the name of the search help exit in the corresponding field.
Test the search help: You can test the flow of an input help defined by the elementary search help with . A dialog box appears in which you can simulate the behavior of the search help under different conditions. You can obtain information about the options provided in this window with .

Usage of serach help in BDC

Hi,
I have problem with search help for a field while using BDC.
process on value-request.
field: tcp-cp module value_for_cp.
Here I'm calling perform value_for_cp when the user press f4 button.
But when I run BDC recorder its not recording F4(search help) selection.
Any idea how to use search help(F4) for a field using BDC or is there is any function code is available for F4 button.
Thanks for your help in advance.
Regards
Chandra

Hi Chandra,
ok, there is no recording. Normally I would select necessary data in my program, which creates BDC - it's much easier (and faster).
Nevertheless: try adding bdc_okcode /04 (should simulate typing F4) and add further fields and screens manually in your BDC.
If there is only one hit, different users will have different settings for 'immediate return'. If there are many hits, you will have trouble to identify desired line.
You can get some aid, when hitting F1, F9 one important fields to see technical attributes. In the end of popup 'name for batch-input' will be shown, also screen number and program name are shown in the beginning.
Sometimes it might be difficult to pre-read allowed values - but still: should be easier.

Christian

Clear the webdynpro error messages in Dictionary serach help window

Hi ,
   I have a search help attached to one of the table column in table control. In the On Enter event of search help i am trowing some error messages. I am using Dictionary standard search help....
On enter event is working fine. My issue is when some error messages are thrown in the webdynpro view those messages are also displaying in the search help window. Whatever may be the message is showing in the webdynpro view at runtime all those messages are getting displayed when i open a searchhelp in the table control.
How can i clear those messages ? When its standard searchhelp where can i write the code to clear the webdynpro meesages.
Could anybody suggest me on this....?
Thanks & Regards
Sireesha...

Hi Sireesha,
As far as I know there is no direct way to track the event of F4 window opened, so that we can clear the messages...
Below is one solution.
WD Standard fires an event when ever a window is opened in the application.
The event that is fired is CL_WDR_WINDOW->IF_WD_WINDOW~WINDOW_OPENED
This is an instance event. Please follow the below steps to handle this event
1) Store the message manager reference in a class as a Static variable
2) Create a Event handler for all instances (A Static event handler will suffice)
3) Give importing parameter Sender (it will be automatically identified by the class builder and the corresponding CL_WDR_WINDOW reference will be populated into this at runtime)
4) Now use the below code to clear the messages
DATA lcl_window_ref TYPE REF TO cl_wdr_internal_window.
TRY.
      lcl_window_ref ?= sender.
   CATCH cx_sy_move_cast_error.
      RETURN.
ENDTRY.
IF lcl_window_ref->is_value_help = abap_true.
    CALL METHOD gr_wd_msg_mgr->clear_messages
      EXPORTING
        including_permanent_msg = abap_true.
ENDIF.
below is how u can set the handler
Assuming handler method is clear_msgs_on_f4wd_window_open
   SET HANDLER clear_msgs_on_f4wd_window_open FOR ALL INSTANCES.
Please let me know if you need more help
Thanks,
Anand

H,
I think you are marking some paramters as both Importing and Exporting.
For the second time the paramter that you exported is being used as the IMPORTING paramter and only that value is beig shown.
So make only those paramters as IMPORT in the search help which you want to use as filtering criteria.

Sesh
