Browse and Search Function 

Use

Browse Function

With the browse function you can navigate through the entire Web Dynpro content deployed an a J2EE Engine. The content is sorted on the first level by vendor name, and on the second level by the name of the development component or Web Dynpro project if you are not developing in the Design Time Repository (DTR).

If you select a Web Dynpro object in the content list, you can check the detailed information about this object using the Details Viewer in the right frame of the tool.

The topmost level also displays the „System Defined Content“,  which lists Web Dynpro-related objects that are not deployed with a specific development component, but which are defined for the entire system.

Search Function

With tab Search, you can search for certain objects and object types. The following object types are supported in the search:

·        Application

·        Component

·        Component interface

·        Model

·        Variant

·        Customizing layer

·        JCo destination.

You can also define if you want to search the entire contents or only a single development component.

If your search is successful, a list of the objects found is displayed.

You can then select an object and display the detailed information in the Details Viewer.

Checking References

If you selected a certain Web Dynpro object, you can display its references in the Details Viewer component. You can select the following reference types:

·        Is using
All references to other Web Dynpro applications or other J2EE applications are listed.

·        Is used by
All Web Dynpro applications or J2EE applications using the selected Web Dynpro application are listed.

·        Libraries
All J2EE libraries are listed.

·        Services
All J2EE services are listed.

·        Interfaces
All J2EE interfaces are listed.

With this function you can check for example why a Web Dynpro application could not be started.

Note that the displayed statuses are runtime statuses.

 

Checking Language-Dependent Resources

If you select an application or component of a given development component or Web Dynpro project within the Browse function, the right working area of the Web Dynpro Content Administrator contains an additional tab entitled Language Resources. If you select this tab, a table with the title Defined Resource Bundles is displayed. It lists all the resource bundles of the selected application or component. The table Defined Resource Bundle contains information

·        about the type of the resource bundle and whether the resources were created from the dictionary or in a Web Dynpro component 

·        about available language codes and

·        whether the default resource bundle is available (that is, the resource bundle without the language code as name extension).

When you select a resource bundle, you get detailed information about the texts in a further table. From a dropdown list in this table you can select the language you would like to examine more closely.

This table lists the

·        Text key

·        The value of the text, i.e. the text itself

·        The value of the text as defined in the default resource bundle

·        The value of the text as called at runtime for a selected language code

 

With the information stored in tab Language Resources you can check if all the texts that were created in both the dictionary and the Web Dynpro component were translated into the languages to be supported. You can also check if all the texts are displayed in the language at runtime.
