RAP Model insert text via text association in managed scenario

[SchinniC]

Hello experts,

we are currently trying to create an managed application via RAP which involves a text table. The two tables are connected via association/composition and we guessed that the creation would be handled through the behavior definition and this statement:

We have two primary keys for the master data table and the description which should be inserted into the text table with the logon language.

When we enter a text and save the entry the application will only create the master data entry, not the text table entry. Now the question, is it possible to archive this in a managed scenario? Or do we have to use unmanaged approach for this?

Thanks and best regards!

Hello,

we kinda went the wrong way here, but now we managed to integrate the texts into this managed scenario.

We added the @ ObjectModel text element Annotation and referenced it to the description field.

Also we added the association for creation and switched to a draft-system (OData v4 requires drafts)

Thanks!

Hi christian.schinner ,

one possible solution would be to use the unmanaged save scenario:

[...]

define behavior for ZP4_I_PLANT_MAINT alias PlaintMaintenance with unmanaged save
[...]

In this scenario, you have the opportunity to effortlessly generate via quick fix a new method that allows you to store the texts within the text tables. Regrettably, I do not have visibility into your CDS data model, but it will be necessary for you to establish associations/joins between the text fields and the root model. This can be accomplished as follows:

[...]<br>define root view entity ZP4_I_PLANT_MAINT as select from <dtab> as dtab
left outer join <dtab_t> as _TextDE on  _TextDE.ID = dtab.ID and _TextDE.spras = 'D'
left outer join <dtab_t> as _TextIT on  _TextIT.ID = dtab.ID and _TextIT.spras = 'I'
left outer join <dtab_t> as _TextEN on  _TextEN.ID = dtab.ID and _TextEN.spras = 'E'
[...]
_TextDE.text as TextDE,<br>_TextIT.text as TextIT,
_TextEN.text as TextEN

I hope that this guidance will prove beneficial to you.

Kind regards
