Overview Link of ESS Salary Stat application

[Former Member]

Hello,

We are using few ESS applications in our environment. We were using the ESS applications without any customization so far. Now, we have some requirements for customizing a few things. I would really appreciate your help in the following requirement.

(We have the NWDI setup and track created I have imported the configuration into NWDS and created the appropriate project for ess/rem and ess/rep).

(We are on EP 7.0 using Webdynpro Java XSS 600 components)

Our requirement is:

In the ESS pay (Remuneration) statement application:

1. Display the Overview screen by default (This is hidden now and will only be displayed if you click on the link "Show Overview")

I really have very limited idea about this webdynpro application and am having difficulty finding the exact piece of code to be modified.

I will appreciate your help.

Thank You,

Kalyan B

Hi,

Please find the application under the name.

ED1_ESSTrack_D_essrem~sap.com

Please add the following lines of code under the init method of view

if(wdContext.currentVCDATAElement().getLINK_ENABLED()){

try{

* wdContext.currentContextElement().setTable_visible(WDVisibility.VISIBLE);*

* wdContext.currentVCDATAElement().setOVERVIEW_SEL("99");*

* wdThis.wdGetVcRem2SelectionController().execAction(wdContext.currentVCDATAElement().getACTIONID_LINK());*

* wdThis.wdGetVcRem2SelectionController().execAction(wdContext.currentVCDATAElement().getACTIONID_DDSEL());*

* }catch(NullPointerException e){ *

* wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportWarning("Salary Statement does not Exists in database for You : " + e.getMessage());*

* }*

}else{

* wdContext.currentContextElement().setTable_visible(WDVisibility.NONE);*

* wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportWarning("Payroll data does not Exists, Check with HR Team");*

}

I have added the following lines of code and it is working fine.

Hello Ponnusamy and Delma,

Thanks for your valuable time and input.

A small clarification please.

1. Do I need to put the code in

wdDoInit() method of SelectionView (view controller)

(OR)

wdDoInit() method of VcRem2Selection (component contoller)

(OR)

onInit() method of VcRem2Selection (component contoller)

2. Is there any change that needs to be made in context/methods (other code changes) of the view and component contoller?

Thank You,

Kalyan

Hello Ponnusamy,

I have tried inserting your code in the wdDoInit() method of "SelectionView". I have the following error:

"The method setTable_Visible((WDVisibility) is undefined for the type IPrivateSelectionView".

It seems that the implementation/definition of method Table_Visible is needed.

I am using XSS 600 SP 12 webdynpro components.

The following is my code for your reference:

Please suggest.

Thank You,

Kalyan

OK, got it working now.

In my case, the context attributes were different. I had to make a small change.

Thanks for your help. (full points awarded)

Regs,

[Former Member]

hi

I didn't try this. But I guess you just put

wdThis.execAction(wdContext.currentVCDATAElement().getACTIONID_LINK());

in the end of the onInit() method of the VcRem2Selection controller.

Hope it helps.

Best Regards
