URL link in data element documentation

Is it possible to create a url link within the documentation of a data element to allow the user to launch the web browser and navigate directly to a specified webpage?
Regards
Mark Briggs

Hello,
I am not sure but you can try this out. Go to se38 and documentation for a test program. Click on Goto and then Change editor. write a text that you want to give a link to. Make its paragraph format as SAPfind Reference. Select the text goto insert link. It will pop you up with a box. give the name of your program but how to link it is another mystery.
Try these function modules.
IWB_HTML_HELP_OBJECT_SHOW
IWB_HTML_HELP_EXTENDED_HELP
and see this program BCALV_GRID_F4_HELP may be of some help.

URL in data element documentation (F1 help)

Hi, is it possible to insert a URL within a data element documentation ? I know it is possible to link the F1 help functionality to go to a URL instead of the data element documentation, but what was asked is to display the regular documentation for the data element, but include a URL to a web site for further information. Any idea how to do this ?

SAPScript: includung a domain documentation in a data element documentation

Dear ABAPers,
I have a couple of (self-defined) DDIC data elements referring all to the same domain. How does the SAPScript INCLUDE-command need to look like in order to include the domains text in the data element text? (which object and which ID needs to be provided for domain documentation?).
Thanks in advance
Andreas

Hi Pushpraj,
for any kind of DDIC-object (table, structure, data element, domain...) you can maintain documentation, which is saved as SAPScript (there is a button "Documentation" or in the case of the domains you have to go via the menu "Goto -> documentation"). In that sort of SAPScript-based texts you can basiscally include any other SAPScript-Text with the INCLUDE-Command.
Example: with SAPScript Command "INCLUDE BELEGART" you can reuse SAPs standard help-text for field BKPF-BLART. But usually the SAPScript INCLUDE command looks like this:
INCLUDE <name_of_text> OBJECT <object> ID <ID>.
Thanks
Andreas

Mechanism for Info Object Data elements inherit source documentation?

Say I am in ECC. I go to SE11, give table name MARA and then doubleclick on the dataelement 'MATNR'. Then I click on documentation. I get a popup with Short text " Material Number" and Definition "Alphanumeric key uniquely identifying the material'.
I am interested in the latter information that is 'Definition' - & in general whatever documentation comes up for data element in ECC/CRM/SCM/SRM.
Now I log into SAP BI. I find that under characteristic 0Material, the data element is /BI0/oimaterial. When I double-click this datamaterial and press the documentation button, the system says 'No documentation'.
My Questions:
1. IS there a switch we could turn on in source [ECC/SRM/CRm/SRM] so that the data element in SAP BI inherits the original source field data element documentation.
{ I am not too convinced of the argument- that in BI we have info objects in ECC we have fields - since I am talking of data element level information- I would tend to think of this as an oversight of the designers [or de-prioritization] !!}.
2. Could we have an ABAP workaround? That is, in BI we identify the tables that house the mapping between the source and destination data elementsa and take out this information. Then we extract the dataelement documentation [by function DOCU_GET] and use the mapping info above to link SAP BI data element with source data element documentation.
WHY do I want to punish myself as above? My use case is, we take out SAP BI Table, field, metadata etc and create a model in a modeling tool and physical implementation in a 3rd party DW database as our own canonical, application-agnostic corporate datawarehouse. I would want the source data element documentation to flow to this last system as well as the modeling tool.

Use of documentation flow in data element!!!!

hi experts,
what is the use of documentation flow in data element.
if that field is selected then where will be changes reflected ?
thanks in advance,

Hi,
Changing Data Element documentation (F1 help text)
SAP allows you to modify data element documentation (F1 help text), this could be useful if you want to add/remove information from the F1 help text. E.g. If you are using the field to store info it was not intended for.
Step 1
Using transaction CMOD chose the following menu option
Menu Goto->TExt Enhancements_>data elements->list cust docu.
Enter the data element that you wish to change the documentation text for, then click the change icon(Pencil in 4.6c and tick in 4.6b). You will then be presented with the following screen, which allows you to create new versions of the data element documentation. Simply click on the Change button and enter a name within the customer name range.

Then we extract the dataelement documentation by function DOCU_GET (from eCC) and use the mapping info above to link SAP BI data element with source data element documentation.
1) SAP don't supply this, I would imagine, because R/3 isn't the only possible source of data. I'm currently working on an app that extracts from R/3, an Oracle database and APO. From whence should I take the documentation for my MATERIAL info object? While being able to transfer the documentation of data elements might be very useful for your app, I can't see that generally it would be of interest to clients - I've certainly never heard of such a requirement. So, my opinion at least, it isn't a design flaw.
2) As you've pointed out, you can get the tables that do the mapping, so you know the source data elements, so you can get the documentation. I'm not sure of how to store the documentation, but the obvious candidate for a link between infoobject and dataelement would be master data of an own infoobject. You could wrap DOCU_GET in an RFC (if it isn't RFC enabled), and do a direct call between your 3rd party app and r/3 to get the documentation. For information about the mapping tables, I'd suggest asking that question specifically in one of the BI forums.

How to change the name of an XML data element in link editor?

Hi,
Is it possible to change the name of a data element dynamically while doing the assignment in the link editor?
Something like Transaction.ReceiveXML{/Rowsets/Row/Name1 (name="Name2")}?
Regards,
V M.

Hi VM,
in the link editor you can use the Dynamic Link (see [Expression Editor|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_mii121/helpdata/EN/45/b89adfaf1447f7e10000000a114a6b/frameset.htm]).
With the dynamic link, you can enclose the property that contains the value with "#", which makes MII evaluate the value rather than use the property name. In your example, it looks something like this:
ReceiveXML{/Rowsets/Row[name='#MyProperty#']}
Hope this helps.

Can we open a URL link from an RFC and access the data in the link.
I have the following scenario.
I have a URL link and it opens a KM folder in the Portal server and I need to put a PDF file in that KM folder
Can we do that with the help of an RFC, can we deal with Links in RFC, is there any such FM??

I guess you are trying to connect from the R3/ECC to the Portal Server.
Are these two systems in the same network? Do you have usernames (valid and fully authorized) in both systems? What is the OS on which these two systems are housed?
Please provide these details to proceed further.

Design-Time Data with external url linking

I have a data list here:
http://facetmedia.com/new/
In the portfolio section I would like to make links which are clickable for the portfolio items. I now know how to use Flex Builder to make external URL links for regular buttons. What I don't know is how to edit this data list to create external links. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi trancepriest,
First, if you haven't already, you probably want to read some of the other posts here about creating a URL link button. Once you've tried doing that and feel comfortable setting up a simple URL link in a test project, then you can move on to integrating this functionality into your list.
Now -- the rest depends on how the data is represented in your list. From some of your other posts here, it actually sounds like you're no longer using a list at all, but rather just a tall layout of hardcoded items set inside a scrolling viewport. If this is the case, you can just repeat the simple button creation you did above, placing all the buttons in the appropriate places in your tall layout (on top of / next to each distinct "item" in the layout).
If you're still using a Data List with a Repeated Item, then the initial setup will be a little bit more tricky, but it will save you time in the long run since you only have to set up one button (which will then be repeated for each item). Here's how:
Find the "dataProvider" tag in the code.
Inside that will be a series of "Object" tags listing your current list data. Add a new "url" attribute to each tag, e.g. url="http://www.adobe.com".
Edit the Repeated Item's definition (in the source code, find the itemRenderer attribute on the List tag and ctrl+click it).
Create your URL link button inside there. But -- instead of typing in the URL as a string in quotes (as seen in other examples in this forum), use data.url to refer to the url attribute you added in step 2.
Hope that helps!

I'm looking for a smart standard solution (BAPI?) to load documentation in DDIC to data elements.
The data which should be loaded is provided by an excel-file .
How knows a standard report or a BAPI/function module ?
Thx in advance

I think a BDC can be done on transaction SE61 with appropriate input......Unfortunately, I can't check the feasibility as I don't have authorization for the transaction as of now........
Got a FM for this.......Chcek the code below...

      wa_lines TYPE tline.

wa_lines-tdformat = '*'.
wa_lines-tdline   = 'TEST'.
DO 50 TIMES.
APPEND wa_lines TO i_lines.

How to create hyperlinked text in F1 help of a particular Data Element.

Dear Guru
I have encountered an issuse regarding to create hyperlinked text in F1 help of a particular Data Element.
For Example what i am trying to do is ---
If you open a particular data element say "ATNAM" in se11 you will found the below documentation available for ATNAM -->>
DE ATNAM
Text
Characteristic Name
Definition
Name that uniquely identifies a *characteristic*.
>> The "characteristics" comes in hyperlinked bluecolor and if we press this it linked to below --- >>
Definition: characteristic
Classification (CA-CL)
Property for describing and distinguishing between objects, such as length, color, or weight.
Profitability Analysis (CO-PA)
I am able to make 1st part of the documentation using SE61.
But I am not able to make Hyperlinked part of that documentaion .
please show me some way to develop this
Thanks & regards
Saifur Rahaman

HI,
you can give the hyperlink in the documentation by going to the path below
MENUBAR ----> INSERT -----> TEXT -----> HYPERTEXT.
this will solve the issue

Add url link in "lightbox style" js gallery

Hello,
Can someone help me add a url link in the image description? I am using an "overlay" gallery (prettyphoto) and want viewers to be able to visit a site instead of going to the next image when clicked on images that are websites.
CSS Code I am using:
<li><a href="images/work/work-full1.jpg" rel="prettyPhoto[1]" title="Trade Show Panels - 2011"><img src="images/work/work-thumb1.jpg"></a></li>
<li><a href="images/work/work-full2.jpg" rel="prettyPhoto[1]" title="Local Resource Website - Lake Wylie, SC"><img src="images/work/work-thumb2.jpg"></a></li>
and so on...
View gallery in action here:
click on the work tab.

How to add external URL link to SAP object (Purchase Order, Invoice, etc)

Hello,
Is there any function module /BAPI that allows me to add an external URL link to a existing Purchase Order
or Invoice document in R3 system?
I tried to debug the system but have not found no suitable function module for it.
I also analyzed the ABAP code of the small GUI window that allows to add a external URL link to
a Purchase Order, and found the function module SO_OBJECT_INSERT. However I could not debug
it (seems to be created with BOR objects) so I've no example for it.
Please help!
