To save personalized settings for ALV lists in a Visual Composer model, you first need to enable ALV personalization.

Prerequisites

  2. Choose SAP NetWeaver Administrator.

  3. Log on with an administrator user.

  4. Choose   Configuration Management   Infrastructure Management   SLD Data Supplier Configuration  .

  5. Choose   Related Tasks   Destinations  .

  6. Create two destinations and name them SLD_DataSupplier and SLD_Client. Each of these destinations requires the following parameters:

    • Destination Type: HTTP Destination

    • URL: URL of SLD

    • Authentication: Basic (User ID and Password)

Maintaining the JCo Destinations

In Web Dynpro Content Administrator, create the JCo destinations WD_ALV_METADATA_DEST and WD_ALV_MODELDATA_DEST.

  1. Log on to the J2EE start page at http://<host>:<port>.

  2. Choose SAP NetWeaver Administrator.

  3. Log on with an administrator user.

  4. Choose   Web Dynpro   Content Administrator  .

  8. Define the configuration of the JCo pool for the JCo destination.

  9. Assign the JCo destination to a J2EE Engine cluster.

  10. Select the data type for the JCo destination and the corresponding connection type. The JCo destination WD_ALV_METADATA_DEST is assigned the data type Dictionary Metadata; WD_ALV_MODELDATA_DEST is assigned the data type Application Data.

  11. Specify the message server, system name and logon group of the ABAP system in SLD that is used by the JCo connection.
