SidePanel Chip Mapping Help

[shane_kelly2]

I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction (I can't seem to find any half-decent side panel documentation)

I've set-up a side panel web dynpro pages and added a few chips to it...

i've used sap gui property collector to store some fields in some custom tags in my nwbc_vc_gui_tag table:

for example:

Program	Screen	Tag	Tag Description	Property	Property Description	Lifetime	Package
SAPMF02D	7000	/BSSP/:KUNNR	Customer Number	lid:/wnd[0]/usr/subSUBKOPF:SAPMF02D:7001/ctxtRF02D-KUNNR.Text	Customer Number	Transaction	$tmp
SAPMF02D	7000	ZCreditArea	CreditArea	value:0010	CreditArea	Transaction	$tmp
SAPLWB2A	100	ZTradenumber	TradeNumber	lid for the trade field	TradeNumber	Transaction	$tmp

I then added two chips to my side panel...  Customer Master Data and Credit Master Data.

My first question is:

     - how do I map these tags to the inputs of the chips...   the customer master chip uses input KUNNR (customer number), the credit master chip uses KKBER (credit control area) and KUNNR (customer number).  For some reason the only thing i can see is to go to configuration > View Connection and for some reason add an output parameter to ID_0001$TAGGING_INFO.WDR_TAGGING_NODE.ATTR5$COMPONENTCONTROLLER - but I have no idea why or if I have to do this - also i don't know why it is node.attr5...

My second question is:

I want to add a link to an open document crystal report in my side panel and pass the parameter ZTradenumber into the url below where it says 003101400... for example: 

http://mybiserver:8080/BOE/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sIDType=CUID&iDocID=AZNUiwIzEYZIp.a...003101400

Hi Shane,

This might help you

The RKT (Ramp-up Knowledge Transfer) documentation it mentions is gold if you can get your hands on it. I had access to it a while back but can't seem to find it any longer.

Hang on... I found it (finally) it wasn't a RKT it was a Best Practice Guide

Enablement Kit for SAP NetWeaver Business Client – SAP Help Portal Page

(only the download link still seems to work - SMP login required)

Hth,

Simon
