Append Search Help in Switch Framework

[Former Member]

Hi all,

i'm facing a problem concerning the switch framework with append search helps. I want to create an append search help, which should only be visible, if a switch is activated.

Here are my steps up to now:

1. Create a package ZNOSWITCH

2. Create a elementary search help ZMY_SH1 in package ZNOSWITCH

3. Create a collective search help ZMY_CSH (which includes ZMY_SH1) in package ZNOSWITCH

4. Create a package ZSWITCH

5. Create a switch ZMY_SWITCH in package ZNOSWITCH

6. Assign package ZSWITCH to switch ZMY_SWITCH.

7. Create a business function ZMY_BF (reversible and Type Enterprise Business Function) in package ZNOSWITCH

8. Assign switch ZMY_SWITCH to business function ZMY_BF

9. Create an elemtary search help ZMY_SH2 in package ZSWITCH

11. Create an append search help ZMY_ASH (which includes ZMY_SH2) for ZMY_CSH in package ZSWITCH

On step eleven the issues occur. The activation of my append search help fails, but there is no activation protocol, so i don't know what the problem is. I've debugged the activation and found a code sequence in function module RS_DD_WORKLIST_ACTIVATE where a comment says:

*       remove switched off appends
    LOOP AT lt_actrc TRANSPORTING NO FIELDS
      WHERE switchedof = 'X'.
      IF l_switched_off IS INITIAL.
        l_switched_off = 'X'.
      ENDIF.
      DELETE lt_actrc.  "switched off -> not activated
    ENDLOOP.

Unfortunately there is no further explanation. So i've tried to activate my business function via SFW5, but this doesn't work too. A message says:

No activation necessary

Does anybody know how to solve this?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

i've solved it. Different things caused my problem:

1. It is only possible to activate switchable DDIC Objects by activating Business Function via SFW5.

2. There was a missing authorization on my user profile.

After getting the authorization an activation of my Business Function via SFW5 was succesful and it automatically activated my append search help.
