The MiniALV 

Use

The MiniALV is designed for displaying lists in a small output area of the screen (for example, overview of system processes). The MiniALV can be used both as a stand-alone MiniApp or as part of another MiniApp. Depending on the style and scope of function of the report, the user can scroll through the list entries, use combo boxes to retrieve different lists for a MiniALV, follow hyperlinks, and select checkboxes for entries in the MiniALV for which a specific action should be performed (see also Interaction Options)

The above screen shot shows the Internet service CCMS_ALVIEWER, which uses the MiniALV to display system messages.  The list boxes above the list are configured on an application-specific basis.  . In combination with the GO pushbutton, users can thus display different overviews of selected systems in the MiniALV. As you can see in the screen shot, you can use both checkboxes and hyperlinks in the MiniALV.

Add-on applications use the AddOn MiniALV which can also be used in Releases from 4.0 to 4.6 through the Workplace Plug-In. See: AddOn MiniALV Versus Standard MiniALV.

Prerequisites

The function module FLOW_LOGIC_ALV_CALL must be available in the system. This function module is called through WebRFC to display list data in the browser.  The function module must therefore be released in the Web Repository (transaction SMW0 ) for the Internet.

The MiniALV uses the Internet services Shuffler and PIG which must be present on the ITS (Internet Transaction Server) used.

Features

The MiniALV is implemented by means of the flow logic technology The Integrating Internet Services documentation explains how to implement a MiniApp using the Web Application Builder.

If you want to integrate the MiniALV in the Workplace, you have two options:

·        You start the MiniALV as a stand-alone MiniApp

·        You integrate the MiniALV into a MiniApp of your own

Users can choose selection variants or layouts saved from a list box in the MiniALV. The MiniALV also offers a range of interaction options.

Using a service parameter ( ma_style=wap1) you can serialize can serialize the ALV table for Output on Small Screens. This ensures that the data can be output on very small screens for mobile devices (pervasive computing).
