Side effect after executing an unbound action - How to trigger update of result list?

[gregorw]

Hello SAP Fiori Elements Community,

with the help of 20eed143c19f4b82bc4cf049916102cb my question Side effect after executing a bound action: How to trigger sorting of result list? was solved. But now I face a similar issue an unbound action. In my sample project bookshop-demo I've added the following annotation:

  @(Common.SideEffects.TargetEntities: ['/AdminService.EntityContainer/Books'])
  action   resetCountOfAllRoles();

to srv/admin-service.cds#L123. When I click resetCountOfAllRoles in the following screen:

The list should refresh to show 0 in the count column. But this happens not automatically. Only when I execute the search again I see the correct result:

Hope that such a behaviour is possible without implementing an extension.

Looking forward for your input.

Best Regards
Gregor

Hello Gregor,

the mentioned behaviour is reproducible and requires further investigation in the FE team.

Hi Christian,

thank you for the investigation. As a moderator I've made your answer a comment to later mark the answer that hopefully solves this behaviour as the solution. If needed I can also file an incident.

Best Regards

Hi Gregor,

we invested some time to check the same. I have to tell you that it's not yet supported (therefore also not documented). We have to implement the same to support it.
I put it to our backlog and we try to implement it at the earliest. I can't promise any date right now. I'll inform you once we implemented it or can give you a reliable date.

Until then the only solution seems to be to use a custom action calling this action and use our extension to refresh the data:

https://ui5.sap.com/#/api/sap.fe.templates.ListReport.ExtensionAPI%23methods/refresh

Sorry to not be able to provide you a better answer and I hope you can live with the work around for the time being. And can remove it as soon as we provided the support.

Best regards,
Marcel

Hi marcel.waechter

is there already a new stand on this?

Dear marcel.waechter christian.kolbowski,

Is there any update on implementing side effect for unbound action ? Do we still need to use custom controller and ExtensionAPI for refresh ?

also wondering - thanks

tested .refresh still works

var addrecords= function () {

this.base.editFlow.invokeAction("servicehandlermethod(write your own)", { model: this.base.editFlow.getView().getModel(), parameterValues: [{
name: "employeeUUID",
value: employeeUUID }, ],
skipParameterDialog: true
}) .then(function (results) {
that.base.getExtensionAPI().refresh(); });
