Using OTR from different package.

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am Enhancing SAP WD. I am trying to bind OTR.

When I open the text selection window it only shows PAOC_RFC_WD_UI and SORT_VOCABULARY_BASIC.

How can I use otr I created in a Z package in standard WB?

ThanX

Yotam.

Hi Yotam,

Instead of using the F4 button to select an OTR text, just manually enter the OTR name directly in the property field. The format is $OTR:PACKAGE/ALIAS, for example,

Property
text	$OTR:ZMY_PACKAGE/MY_ALIAS

Cheers,

Hi Amy,

When I enter manually it shows en error message - "the package in the alias name does not correspond to current package PAOC_RFC_WD_UI"

Hi Yotam,

Use transaction SOTR_EDIT to create a new z-alias in the package PAOC_RFC_WD_UI, then you will be able to use the alias in your web dynpro. For example...

Create OTR and place in Zpackage

Create Enhancement implimentation for standard component and assign the OTR texts as follows.

1. for static UI elements texts -> click on f4 of text property of that UI element and select your otr texts from zpackage( To find use filter).

2. to provide texts dynamically through coding ---> use GET_OTR_TEXTS_BY_ALIAS  Method.

hi

1. As above - (error popup)

2. It will work fine but I prefer no doing it with code.

Hi,

http://scn.sap.com/blogs/Santanudebnath/2013/01/13/how-to-create-an-otr-text-and-search-an-otr-text-...

Alias format => (PACKAGE NAME)/(TEXT ALIAS)

If you enter an alias with this format you'll identify the package and automatically it will add to the binding screen.

Hi,

When I try to explicitly call different package it popup error message:

"the package in the alias name does not correspond to current package PAOC_RFC_WD_UI"

In this case you should use SOTR_EDIT transaction to create the text and use it in your WDA using the binding syntax $OTR:(Package)/(Alias). But it will not displayed at matchcode.
