Function module Registry_get

[Former Member]

Hi All,

We are going for upgrade from 4.6 to ECC 6.0.Function module REGISTRY_GET is obselete in 4.6 instead of this i have used class CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES method 'registry_get_value' .But the there is a diffrence in number of parameter passed in function module and that class method.Below is the code both in 4.6 and ECC 6.0.

In 4.6 it was as below:

CALL FUNCTION 'REGISTRY_GET'

EXPORTING

KEY = 'protocol\StdFileEditing\server'

SECTION = 'ExcelWorksheet'

IMPORTING

VALUE = EXCEL_PATH.

Now in ECC 6.0 i replaced as below:

call method cl_gui_frontend_services=>registry_get_value

exporting

root = cl_gui_frontend_services=>hkey_classes_root

key = 'protocol\StdFileEditing\server'

value = ''

importing

reg_value = reg_value

exceptions

get_regvalue_failed = 1

cntl_error = 2

error_no_gui = 3

others = 4.

If i compair both the code then parameters differ's.But i am not able to undestand what the use of these parameter.Please sugest if i am doing the right thing in ECC6.0 and please also let me know the replacement of function module 'Profile_GET' used as below in 4.6:

call function 'PROFILE_GET'

exporting

filename = 'front.ini'

key = 'Path'

section = 'Filetransfer'

importing

value = dir_path

exceptions

others = 1.

Thanks

Sample to understand :

Code 46C

*     Test, ob OrgPublisher lokal installiert ist
      CALL FUNCTION 'REGISTRY_GET'
           EXPORTING
                key     = 'CLSID'
                section = 'OrgPublisher.Document.2'
           IMPORTING
                value   = class_id.
      IF class_id IS INITIAL.

Code ECC 6.0

      CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>registry_get_value
        EXPORTING
          root         = cl_gui_frontend_services=>hkey_classes_root
          key          = 'OrgPublisher.Document.2\CLSID'
        IMPORTING
          reg_value            = class_id
        EXCEPTIONS
          get_regvalue_failed  = 1
          cntl_error           = 2
          error_no_gui         = 3
          not_supported_by_gui = 4
          OTHERS               = 5.
      CALL METHOD cl_gui_cfw=>flush
        EXCEPTIONS
          cntl_system_error = 1
          cntl_error        = 2
          OTHERS            = 3.
      IF class_id IS INITIAL OR sy-subrc NE 0.

Second sample to understand :

Code 46C

      CALL FUNCTION 'PROFILE_GET'
           EXPORTING
                filename = 'front.ini'
                key      = 'Path'
                section  = 'Filetransfer'
           IMPORTING
                value    = path.

Code ECC 6.0

    CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_GET_REGVALUE'
      EXPORTING
        ROOT           = 2
        KEY            = 'software\sap\sap shared'
        VALUE_NAME     = 'sapworkdir'
      CHANGING
        STRING         = path
      EXCEPTIONS
        REGISTRY_ERROR = 1
        OTHERS         = 2.

Hi ,

Thanks for your help.I have one more query where i should pass value of 'section = 'Filetransfer'. in below function module:

CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_GET_REGVALUE'

EXPORTING

ROOT = 2

KEY = 'software\sap\sap shared'

VALUE_NAME = 'sapworkdir'

CHANGING

STRING = path

EXCEPTIONS

REGISTRY_ERROR = 1

OTHERS = 2.

Thanks

"Filetransfer'" has become "'sapworkdir", if found it initially within a SAP OSS note that corrected one of their program which used the obsolete function module.

Regards,

Raymond

PS: note found (again) [Note 966310 - Local copies of documents not in SapWorkDir|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/966310] read the source correction for the FORM GET_DISPLAY_DIR. (applicable since 46C...)

Hi Raymond,

Thanks for your help.I have seen this note but i believe it's applicable till 4.6 only.Shaii i go ahead with correction in ECC 6.0 with using ''GUI_GET_REGVALUE' function module instead of 'Profile_GET'.

Thanks
