Releasing Data Elements for Drag&Relate 

Use

To use data elements in Drag&Relate activities, they must be released in the logical system.

Prerequisites

If there are several key fields, the underlying data elements must have a parameter ID so that they can be set automatically (with SET/GET PARAMETER).

If the same data element is used to identify more than one business object type, you must create a Drag&Relate supertype. The Drag&Relate supertype represents a technical generalization of business objects that are semantically different. For more information, see Creating Drag&Relate Supertypes.

If you use Drag&Relate with an iView as the drag source in place of a transaction in a logical system, you must generate the object link using method generateDNRUrl in service IUrlGeneratorService provided by the Enterprise Portal runtime.

Procedure

...

       1.      Start transaction SPO0.

       2.      To change the definition of an object type, choose the relevant object type in the Object type field using the F4 help or by typing the exact name in this field.

       3.      Choose Display to the left of the field.

       4.      Switch to change mode by choosing Display/change.

       5.      To create a new definition, choose Create and enter an object type in the dialog box.

       6.      Select the relevant key field for the screen, if there is more than one field.

       7.      To find further data elements (referring to the same domain) for the data element of the relevant key field for the screen, use the functions Create key and Create key: Enhanced.

The Create key function gives you a list of all the data elements assigned to the same domain as the current key field.

With the Create key: Enhanced function you can select further data elements as keys using the search help.

       8.      Save your entries.

Result

You have released the data element for use in Drag&Relate actions.
