Function documentation Info Callable Objects Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

Use

For each action, block, or process template that you create, you can define info callable objects. At runtime these objects can be executed to provide additional information relevant for the item. For example, you can execute a BI query, or call a Web page to get certain data.

Prerequisites

You can use only objects that expose user interface as info callable objects – for example, Web Dynpro components or applications, Web pages, BSP applications, and so on. For more information about these callable object types, see Exposing Applications as Callable Objects in Developing Composite Applications with CAF GP.

Activities

To attach an info callable object to an item:

...

       1.      Open the gallery, select the item, and choose Open….

The item’s design time opens.

       2.      To switch to edit mode, choose This graphic is explained in the accompanying text (Edit).

       3.      Open the Info Callable Objects tab page.

       4.      To insert an info callable object, choose Add.

       5.      Select the required callable object, and choose Add again.

       6.      Repeat steps 4 and 5 to add more objects.

       7.      To define parameter mapping, on screen Add Info Callable Objects select an entry, and choose Map Parameters. Select a parameter from the left-hand table, and then select the parameter you want to map from the right-hand table. This groups the input parameters of the info callable object to the relevant input parameters of the item.

If the item does not define input parameters, you can set default values.

When you have defined the parameter mapping, choose Done.

       8.      You can categorize the info callable object. To do that, choose Set Category. You can use an existing category, or create a new one.

Select the relevant category, and choose Set Category.

       9.      Choose Save.

At runtime, the info callable objects are available in the Options menu of the process.

Note

Make sure to add an appropriate process runtime view that includes Info Callable Object Navigator. For more information, see Defining Runtime Views.
