Attach files to GOS with Save, Retrieve, Delete functionality in SAP Web Dynpro ABAP – Part 1

Step 18 :

For new attachments, we need to create a menu with options – Create Note & Create Attachment

Create a toolbar and add the toolbar ui element “ToolBarLinkChoice” as below

Step 19:

Add menu action item “ATTACH_NOTE” and create an action “CREATE_ATT” and bind it as below

Step 20:

Similarly, add another menu action item “ATTACH_FILES” and bind the action “CREATE_ATT” as below

Step 20A:

Write the below code in event handler method of ONACTIONCREATE_ATT

ONACTIONCREATE_ATT
METHOD onactioncreate_att . DATA lv_window_name TYPE string. DATA lo_view_ctrl TYPE REF TO if_wd_view_controller. DATA lv_id TYPE string. wdevent->get_data( EXPORTING name = ‘ID’ IMPORTING value = lv_id ). CASE lv_id. WHEN ‘ATTACH_NOTE’. lv_window_name = ‘W_ATTACH_NOTES’. WHEN ‘ATTACH_FILES’. lv_window_name = ‘W_ATTACH_FILES’. WHEN OTHERS. ENDCASE. lo_view_ctrl ?= wd_this->wd_get_api( ). “perform create action “============================================= wd_comp_controller->do_on_create( EXPORTING id_window_name = lv_window_name io_view_ctrl = lo_view_ctrl ). ENDMETHOD.

ONACTIONCREATE_ATT

METHOD onactioncreate_att .
DATA lv_window_name TYPE string.
DATA lo_view_ctrl TYPE REF TO if_wd_view_controller.
DATA lv_id TYPE string.

wdevent->get_data(

      name = ‘ID’
    IMPORTING
      value = lv_id
).

CASE lv_id.
    WHEN ‘ATTACH_NOTE’.
      lv_window_name = ‘W_ATTACH_NOTES’.
    WHEN ‘ATTACH_FILES’.
      lv_window_name = ‘W_ATTACH_FILES’.
    WHEN OTHERS.
ENDCASE.

lo_view_ctrl ?= wd_this->wd_get_api( ).
“perform create action
“=============================================
wd_comp_controller->do_on_create(
    EXPORTING
      id_window_name = lv_window_name
      io_view_ctrl   = lo_view_ctrl
).
ENDMETHOD.

View V_ATTACH_FILES

Create a new view V_ATTACH_FILES to view/change the attachment of files

Step 21:

Go to the context tab and map the context node “ATTACHMENT_CONTENTS” from component controller to the view context as shown below

Step 22:

Go to the layout of view and create an ui element “InputField” for the attachment title / name as below

WHEN 1. “Create “hide Download file lo_tc ?= view->get_element( id = ‘TC_BOTTOM’ ). lo_tc->set_visible( value = cl_wd_transparent_container=>e_visible-none ). WHEN 3 OR 4. “Display or Delete lo_tc ?= view->get_element( id = ‘TC_MIDDLE’ ). lo_tc->set_visible( value = cl_wd_transparent_container=>e_visible-none ). “get transparent container lo_tc ?= view->get_element( id = ‘TC_TOP’ ). DATA lo_inp TYPE REF TO cl_wd_input_field. lo_inp ?= lo_tc->get_child( id = ‘ATTACHMENT_NAME’ ). lo_inp->set_read_only( value = abap_true ). WHEN OTHERS. ENDCASE. ENDMETHOD.

WDDOMODIFYVIEW

METHOD wddomodifyview .
DATA lo_tc TYPE REF TO cl_wd_transparent_container.

CASE wd_comp_controller->gv_user_action.
    WHEN 1. “Create
      “hide Download file
      lo_tc ?= view->get_element( id = ‘TC_BOTTOM’ ).
      lo_tc->set_visible(
          value = cl_wd_transparent_container=>e_visible-none ).

WHEN 3 OR 4. “Display or Delete

      lo_tc ?= view->get_element( id = ‘TC_MIDDLE’ ).
      lo_tc->set_visible(
          value = cl_wd_transparent_container=>e_visible-none ).

      “get transparent container
      lo_tc ?= view->get_element( id = ‘TC_TOP’ ).
      DATA lo_inp TYPE REF TO cl_wd_input_field.
      lo_inp ?= lo_tc->get_child( id = ‘ATTACHMENT_NAME’ ).
      lo_inp->set_read_only( value = abap_true ).
    WHEN OTHERS.
ENDCASE.

ENDMETHOD.

View V_ATTACH_NOTES

Create a new view V_ATTACH_NOTES to view/change the attachment of files

Step 25:

Go to the context tab and map the context node “ATTACHMENT_CONTENTS” from component controller to the view context as shown below

Step 26:

Create an ui element “InputField” and bind the context attributes as below

DATA lo_text_edit TYPE REF TO cl_wd_text_edit. lo_text_edit ?= lo_tc->get_child( id = ‘NOTES_CONTENT’ ). lo_text_edit->set_read_only( value = abap_true ). WHEN OTHERS. ENDCASE. ENDMETHOD.

WDDOMODIFYVIEW

METHOD wddomodifyview .
DATA lo_tc TYPE REF TO cl_wd_transparent_container.

CASE wd_comp_controller->gv_user_action.

WHEN 3 OR 4. “Display or Delete

lo_tc ?= view->get_element( id = ‘TC_TOP’ ).

      DATA lo_inp TYPE REF TO cl_wd_input_field.
      lo_inp ?= lo_tc->get_child( id = ‘NOTES_TITLE’ ).
      lo_inp->set_read_only( value = abap_true ).

      “get transparent container
      lo_tc ?= view->get_element( id = ‘TC_CONTENT’ ).
      DATA lo_text_edit TYPE REF TO cl_wd_text_edit.
      lo_text_edit ?= lo_tc->get_child( id = ‘NOTES_CONTENT’ ).
      lo_text_edit->set_read_only( value = abap_true ).

WHEN OTHERS.
ENDCASE.
ENDMETHOD.

Step 28:

Create a new window W_ATTACH_FILES and embed the view V_ATTACH_FILES as below

Step 29:

Create a new window W_ATTACH_NOTES and embed the view V_ATTACH_NOTES as below

Now, save and activate the whole component YDEMO_ATTACH_FILES_GOS

Step 30:

Create an application as below

Now, test the application:

Output:

The initial out put screen looks as below

Click on menu “New Attachments” to attach a note or a file

Choose the Create Note option from menu as below .

Now, a popup window opens up as below

Similarly, we can create an attachment of files

Choose, CreateAttachment option from menu as below

A popup window appears for create an attachment of a file as below

Now, enter the attachment name and browse a file from your system and click on OK button as below

We can see the attachments created as below

We can also, display or change or delete the attachments

To Display an attached file:

Click on display button of a particular record as below

a popup window opens up and shows the available contents in Display mode

To Change an attached file:

Click on change button of a particular record & a popup window opens up and can change the attachment as below

To Delete an attached file:

Click on delete button of a particular record & a popup window for deletion of attachment opens up and click on OK button to complete the deletion

Similarly we can perform the display or change or delete actions on Notes as well

To Display an attached Notes:

Click on display button of a particular record as below

a popup window opens up and shows the available contents in Display mode

Hello

Very interesting subject and well done tutorial, but can you add the implementation for actions methods CREATE_ATT and DO_ACTION.

Those one are missing, so even if there is no error at runtime, test are not correct ..

Cheers

Xavier

Hi Rama,

Thanks for the methods.

Finally it works !

Thanks for sharing this point.

Just two others information, in my current system I do not have /MSG/H_POL_ID, I used SIBFBORIID instead. Same for /MSG/HRISK, I used SIBFTYPEID.

And in V_NAME view, I created a SAVE action and implement ONACTIONSAVE method with simply wd_comp_controller->do_save( ). Otherwise there is a dump.

And one more question, if I want to get the list of attach document for an FI document for example, do you know how to build the policy number ?

Regards

Xavier

Hi Xavier,

Find the entries in table SRGBTBREL where the gos documents are saved and you can find out the keys and same can be used to get the instance of GOS for the business object.

Also, SAVE action, logic added 🙂

Rama

Hi Loli,

I think your system is on lower version like NW7.0,

The field CONTENT_X is of type RAWSTRING in structure GOS_S_ATTCONT and it is not supported in WD context by your system version.

I suggest you to create a context attribute NEW_CONTENT_X of type XSTRING in context directly.

So, you need to have extra attribute in context of type XSTRING and when you save contents, move the data of NEW_CONTENT_X to CONTENT_X of structure in DO_SAVE method ( Refer the step 5A in PART 1 link )

Hope this helps you.

Regards,

Rama

Hi,

In my system I have none of the GOS structures or elements you use in the instructions. Also the API CL_GOS_API does not exist .Why would this be the case and what do I do now?
