modifications to menuconfig.xml not being reflected in app

[Former Member]

Hi,

Hope someone can help me with this. I have removed "myaccount" tab from the menuconfig.xml but the myaccount tab still shows up in the application. I have enabled myaccount module in my application but I am assuming if i remove the tab from menuconfig, the myaccount should not show up. I am doing this to test whether the custom menuconfig.xml i have modified is being read or not and it is not. I have changed the menuconfig.xml in my custom main module and also declared it in the metadata.xml in the main md part. My application is running with customer main module namespace. Is there anything else that needs to be done? Attached are my menuconfig and metadata.xml files.

menuConfig.xml:

<MenuConfiguration xmlns:wec="com.sap.wec.core.config">

<wec:ifValue variable="${com.sap.common.Catalog#_ACTIVE_}" value="true">

           <Menu name="shop" navigation="toCatalogHomePage" order = "1000" description="main.ui.header.shop"  />      

    </wec:ifValue>

<wec:ifValue variable="${com.sap.mySupport.config.Anchor#_ACTIVE_}" value="true">

       <Menu name="service" navigation="toMySupport" order = "2000" description="main.ui.header.support"  /> 

</wec:ifValue>

</MenuConfiguration>

Hi Sheena,

Removing this menu entry for myAccount does not mean that myAccount will be hidden, nor will the myAccount menu button be hidden.

Via not specifiying it in your extension version you somehow state that you don't do changes to this menu button. The idea of this extension mechanism is to just provide the delta between standard and your custom module.

So what you could do to verify that your extension is active:

<MenuConfiguration xmlns:wec="com.sap.wec.core.config">

<wec:ifValue variable="${com.sap.common.Catalog#_ACTIVE_}" value="true">

          <Menu name="shop" navigation="toCatalogHomePage" order = "1000" description="custom.resourceKey"  />      

    </wec:ifValue>

</wec:ifValue>

This means that you just exchange the text of one menu button.

Does this help?

Best regards,

Hi Christoph,

I tried that and it is still not working. I also tried adding a completely new menu option and it is not showing up. Is there anything else I can check?

Thanks,

Sheena

[christoph_hinssen]

Hi Sheena,

You have the main module in your gm namespace I guess, and you are calling the custom app? Then I would recommend the check whether your stuff is deployed. Please check the jars that have been built from your md and ui DC, does this contain the metadata.xml and the menuconfig.xml?

Best regards,

Christoph

Hi Sheena,

did you take a look at the examples provided in the extension guide?

https://service.sap.com/~sapidb/012002523100007004382012E

There you can see how a new menu item is defined.In MAIN_WEC20DEM_D~test~extensibility~mainc~ui~test.sap.com\src\customer\main\ui you can find the menu-config.

Hi Christoph,

Thanks for your feedback. I checked the jar files and both menuconfig and metadata are in the jar files and deployed. I am now having a different issue as described in response to Elena's post.

Thanks,

Hi Elena,

Thank you very much for those example files... that was extremely helpful. After changing config type in my ui-repository for custom main module from "menuconfig" to "menu-config" and also adding only the extended module to the menuConfig.xml file I get this error when I run the custom application now.

Error:

Its not clear to me from the error what is wrong. It throws that error regardless of the content that I put in menuConfig.xml (I tried deleting everything in the file).

Thanks,

Sheena

Hi Sheena,

The root cause seems to be:
parsing uri [uri]='gm/main/ui/menuConfig.xml':Premature end of file.

So the file is found, but its content is not well-formatted. So again check the structure (and compare with the one mentioned in the extension guide)

Best regards,

Christoph
