Use
Appication Component: AP-PPE.
With this BAdI, you can enhance the field catalog of the iPPE Workbench (PPEGI_FCAT) by customer fields.
When starting the iPPE Workbench, the system checks if an active implementation of this BAdI exists in the GI Engine. This BAdI is called up when an object is displayed or changed in the navigation area of the iPPE Workbench.
If the customer fields are filled at runtime by the BAdI implementation, they are then transferred to the field catalog by the iPPE Workbench.
In order to view the contents of the customer fields in the navigation area, the fields must also be included in the current display variant.
Requirements
Standard settings
- The Business Add-In is not active in the standard system.
- The Business Add-In is not filter-dependent.
- The Business Add-In cannot exist at several positions.
Activities
To activate the Business Add-In, you have to create an active implementation.
- To do so, choose the IMG activity by double-clicking @15@.
Or
- To do so, choose the following menu in the SAP Easy Access Menu Tools -> ABAP Workbench -> Utilities -> Business Add-Ins -> Implementation.
If implementations already exist for the selected BAdI, the system braches to a dialog box displaying a list of the existing implementations.
- In this dialog box, choose Create.
The system branches to the dialog box BAdI Builder: Create Implementation.
- Enter an implementation name and choose Continue.
The screen Business Add-In Builder: Change Implementation appears.
- In the field Implementation Short Text enter a short desctiption.
- Select the tab page Interface.
In this tab page, the field Name of implementing class is filled automatically as the system assigns the class name using the name of the implementation.
- Save your entries and assign the implementation to a package.
- Position the cursor on one of the methods. Access the class builder with a double click.
- Enter the coding for the implementation between the instructions method <Interface-Name>~ <Method nAME>.and endmethod.
- Save and activate your coding and return to the screen Change Implementation.
- Save your data again.
Note: It is possible to create an implementation for a BAdI and activate it later. In this case, you should exit processing here.
- Choose Aktivate.
During the execution of the application program, the system now runs through the coding you saved in the method.
You can find additional information in the SAP Library under SAP NetWeaver Components -> SAP Web Application Server -> ABAP Workbench (BC-DWB)-> Changing the SAP Standard (BC) -> Business Add-Ins -> Implementing a Business Add-In.
