Display hidden blocks in component PRD01OV

Component PRD01OV has several blocks that can be added to the main view (MaterialOV). Although I moved many blocks in displayable part, those blocks are not visible in the configuration:

This is not due to the fact that blocks are hidden, but this issue is related to the relationship types activated in product category. To solve this issue go to transaction COMM_HIERARCHY, select the appropriate hierarchy and category then select tab "Relationship type" and add the relationship you need:

When done you will see in WebUI that all blocks in displayable part will be shown:

Disable + and - buttons in advanced search

This change requires the access key for standard class CL_THTMLB_ADVANCEDSEARCH. The solution suggested below will be applied for all search pages but can be adjusted depending on customer requirements.

Open method IF_BSP_ELEMENT~DO_AT_BEGINNING and comment code from row 738 until row 887.

How to configure WorkProtect Mode popup

When you navigate from a BSP to a portal component i.e. WebDynpro Java without saving, you could have data loss. In order to manage centrally all these situations you may configure the WorkProtect Mode popup.

This is an example of popup

Configuration steps on NetWeaver 7.0x

• Access to Portal using a user with admin role.

• Navigate to Service Configuration: System Administration -> System Configuration -> Service Configuration

• Select application "com.sap.portal.epcf.loader" and open the properties for service "epcfloader"
  Here you can customize following settings:
  
  • workprotect.mode.default
  • workprotect.mode.personalize
  • workprotect.popup.layout
  • workprotect.window.features

• Save and restart the service so the changes take effect.
  
  Right-click on the application node "com.sap.portal.epcf.loader" and then choose "Administrate" in order to open the application console. Restart/Stop links are shown.

Possible values ​​for the properties

"workprotect.mode.default" property
[1] for "Protect unsaved data (open page in a new window)"
[2] for "Discard unsaved data (open page in the same window)"
[3] for "Choose action in popup on unsaved data"

"workprotect.mode.personalize" property
[on] means users may change their values in the portal personalization ("Personalize -> WorkProtect Mode ").
[off] means users cannot changed individually the personalization.

"workprotect.popup.layout" property
[default] for options shown as link
[buttons] for options shown as button

"workprotect.window.features" property
Default value is empty but you can change it to any value accepted by the JavaScript function window.open i.e. toolbar=no,location=no

Duplicate a view of an existing BSP component

The BSP component BP_HEAD has several components that can be added in the overview page: in particular there is one component (BP_BPBT.AccountInterHist) that I added with label “Reclami”. Once I add a component to the visible blocks it is not possible to add again the same component. In this project I need to have the same view twice with same structure as the original because in one case it will display only objects for a particular process type, in a second case it will show objects for another particular process type.

Enter the BSP where you want to create the view of another BSP component (in our case BP_HEAD):

The wizard starts; type the name of the view you want to create:

Take note of the context nodes in the view we want to copy (in our case BP_BPBT/AccountInterHistOV)

And replicate same context nodes in the wizard:

Skip next step “Aggiungere nodo valore” and in step “Aggiungere attribute modello” add all attributes

Skip next step “Aggiungere attributi valore” and the next one. In next step select the view type: in our case we have a table view and the context node is BUILDINTERACTHIST:

Click on “Completare”

Type package and change request number when requested, then you will have the new view in your BSP component

Now in the viewarea of the viewset add the view created right now: 

The application is ZBP_HEAD and with matchcode you can find the view:

Click on save:

Now change the binding for BUILHEADER context node:

And type the following values:

Note: the system creates the view without the default configuration, so before test your view create a configuration!
