What is the meaning of Context-paging?

[Former Member]

Hi Forum!

I found in the Web Dynpro for ABAP Documentation in NetWeaver 2004s several times the term "context-paging" but without any explanation what the meaning of it is.

I would like to have a explanation or a hint where I can find documentation related to this?

With kind regards,

Marcel

Mi Marcel,

for performance reasons you can determine that only a certain part of the data are held in the context, not all of them, e.g. you only want to display data from row 10-15 in a table.

This functionality is available for MultiPane and Table.

Use property firstActualxx to specify the cell (row), starting from 0, which should correspond to the first element in the context. Use property xxCount to determine the number of cells (rows) which are to be displayed in the ui element.

Use the onScroll event to find which data shall be displayed.

Please note, that not all data are available with context paging. This means that there might be problems with selections, for instance. Therefore, only use context paging if you have a huge amount of data.
