Pay attention to what Armin said, display too many values in a DropDown UI element is not very useful. If there are more than 25 or 30 elements in your collection switch to a InputField UI element for using an extended value help.

Hi,

Try this

1.create "Dropdownbyindexby" UI

2. create context attribute like this

value node-->Vn_year

value Attribute--va_year --data type is integer

bind this attribute to dropdownbyIndex

int year = 1950;
for (int i = 0; i < 60; i++) {
IPrivate<view name>.IVn_yearElement ele =wdContext.createVn_yearElement();
ele.setVa_year(year);
wdContext.nodeVn_year().addElement(ele);
year = year + 1;
}

A drop-down list with >30 entries is not very usable.

Hi Armin,

Sorry for replying in another topic. I have a doubt regarding the security of destinations for WSIL, WSDL and RFC.

Whenever we create the destinations for WSIL, WSDL and RFC, in the security part we select the "User ID / Password" mechanism and enter the user ID and password (Administrator in case of SAP WebAS and for ECC <superadmin> ID)

Can we use a different ID for both these systems while creating the Logical Destinations?

If Yes, please let me know the minimum Authorizations required for the User ID and the steps.
