r/3 search helps in java web dynpro

[Former Member]

Hello,

A customer of ours has some Z transactions in its R/3 system, which basically present a very simplyfied version of MIGO. This Z transaction makes extencive use of Search Helps, which in some cases have been extended.

A ABAP developer with some Web Dynpro experience showed me that it was easy to integrate these search helps into his web dynpro application.

I cannot find how to do this in java web dynpro with the developer studio. Is this possible and if yes, how?

Greetings, Walter.

Hi Walter,

You can use search helps in Web Dynpro for Java also. The feilds with check table in R/3 automatically give search helps. To provide explicit search help you need use EVS or OVS.

These are the tutorials

OVS https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/webdynpro/wd%20jav...

EVS

Sorry for the late reaction, I've been a bit busy..

Thanks for your info. I already found the tutorials. What is new for me is what you told me about the field with "check table" in R/3 automatically giving search helps (in webdynpro?).

I'll have to look into that a bit further. The OVS does work great as well though. It is not that much work once you've got the hang of it.

tnx for your help.
