Parameter

Description

Data provider (DATA_PROVIDER_REF)

You use this parameter to assign a data provider to the Web item. The Web item gets the data and metadata that it needs to generate the output and commands from this data provider.

We recommend that you keep to the conventions supported by the Web Application Designer when specifying names: The name should be a maximum of 30 characters long and consist of characters “A-Z”, “0-9” and “_”, but cannot start or end with “_”. Adhering to these conventions facilitates the upgrade to future SAP releases.

Affected data provider (LINKED_DATA_PROVIDER_REF_LIST)

Under this parameter, you create a list of data providers to which all commands are sent.

For each entry in the data provider list, you choose a data provider under the Affected Data Provider parameter (LINKED_DATA_PROVIDER_REF).

Note that you cannot create data providers in the parameter dialog, you have to create them beforehand.

Characteristic (CHARACTERISTIC)

You use this parameter to select the characteristic by technical name.

Read mode (DATA_READ_MODE)

You use this parameter to determine which values from the master data table are to be transferred to the List Box  web item as filter values.

(M): All values from the master data table.

In some circumstances, values that do not appear in the data provider under the current filter conditions and that produce the result “No Suitable Data Found” upon filtering, are also displayed However, under certain conditions this process is the fastest.

(D): Values that are basically posted, whereby the current drilldown status is not fully taken into consideration.

(Q): Only values that are also posted in the data provider under the currently valid filter conditions are displayed. Under certain circumstances it can take a long time.

Read mode for Web items to set filter values

The “master data” read mode may lead to many unposted values being displayed; the “posted values” read mode may be slow.
