Procedure

Using Association Classes to Connect the Output Management BO

  1. In the host BO, select the node that will use output management processes.

    You must have already configured the Post Processing Framework (PPF) for this node.

  2. Add an association to the host BO node type.

  3. Enter /BOFU/PPF_OUTPUT_CONTENT as the BO reference.

  4. Choose Start of the navigation path Node Elements Next navigation step Root Next navigation step Association End of the navigation path.

  5. If there is an association with one node, enter /BOFU/CL_C_PPFOC_ROOT_XBO_NI in the association class field. If there is more than one association, enter /BOFU/CL_C_PPFOC_ROOT_XBO_RI.

  6. To display the output management UI, you must configure /BOFU/PPF_OUT_CONT_TAB in the main configuration of the host BO.

Displaying Output Management Content in the Consuming Application

  1. Create the output management configuration

    1. Create a new tabbed window in the main page of the component configuration in the consuming application.

      Window Name: Tabbed_window

      Configuration Name: /BOFU/PPF_OUT_CONT_TAB_V2

      Title: $OTR:/BOFU/PPF_ADAPTER_CONTENT_DO/OH

    2. Create a wire for the configuration.

      Component: FPM_FORM_UIBB

      Configuration Name: /BOFU/PPFOCGF_ROOT_V2

      Source Component: <Component name of consuming application>

      Source Configuration Name: <configuration of consuming application>

      Port Type: Collection

      Port Identifier: CO

      Connector Class: <Either FBI connector class, or your own connector class>

      SRC_NODE_ASSOC: <association name>

  2. Configure the action list dialog box

    1. Create a new page of type Dialog box

      ID: ACT_LIST

      Title: $OTR:/BOFU/PPF_ADAPTER_CONTENT_DO/ACTION_LIST_V2

    2. Create a list UIBB

      Window Name: LIST_WINDOW

      Configuration Name: /BOFU/PPFOCGL_ACTION_LIST_V2

    3. Create a wire

      Component: FPM_LIST_UIBB

      Configuration Name: /BOFU/PPFOCGL_ACTION_LIST_V2

      Source Component: FPM_FORM_UIBB

      Source Config Name: /BOFU/PPFOCGF_ROOT_V2

      Port Type: Collection

      Port Identifier: CO

      Connector Class: /BOFU/CL_FBI_CONNECTOR

      SRC_NODE_ASSOC: <BLANK>

  3. Configure help texts for selecting the text ID for notes:

    Title: $OTR:/BOFU/PPF_ADAPTER_CONTENT_DO/CHOOSE_NOTE

    Component: /BOFU/WDC_PPFOC_TEXT_LIST

    Configuration Name: /BOFU/PPFOCGW_BSCSR_NOTE
