Background documentation The Web Dynpro Text Browser Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

Many user-interface elements contain texts of the most different types. All texts entered by the user that are assigned to a UI element through the properties table are stored and managed in the Structure linkOnline Text Repository (OTR). They can also be translated there, for example. The Workbench provides a separate authoring environment, called the Web Dynpro Text Browser. This enables you to subsequently edit individual texts, independently of the development of the views. This authoring environment is a separate browser that you can include in your browser list.

 

Procedure documentation To call up the browser, open the Utilities menu and choose the entry Settings. On the Workbench General  tab page, select the entry Web Dynpro Text Browser and confirm the dialog box.

 

 

You now have the Web Dynpro Text Browser in your browser selection, above the object list in the left-hand corner of your Workbench window. When you select this browser, the list of objects ready for change will automatically be limited to Web Dynpro views that contain changeable texts.

All the text elements of a view that were created when the application was developed and then stored in the OTR or that were inserted from the OTR into the text field of a UI element are now available for change in table form. To edit them, select the corresponding text field either in this table or in the preview window above it.

 

Pay attention to the following notes:

 

Note Only texts from the OTR can be changed in the text browser; no texts that are inserted into a UI element through the ABAP Dictionary can be edited here.

 

Note All the OTR texts of a Web Dynpro application can be edited only in the original logon language. If a particular text was created in the logon language German, it can only be changed if the user logs on to the system in the German language. If you are logged on to the system in a language other than the original language and you wish to edit the texts, the views will not be displayed for change.  

 

Note Only text elements from active views can be changed; inactive views are not displayed in the Web Dynpro Text Browser.
