Use of associations to Dependent Objects using Association Class in FPM/FBI

[former_member185171]

Hello,

We have a BO containing a Dependent Object DO. The standard association (TO_DO) leads to all occurrences of the root of the DO.

But in our application (FPM/FBI) we may not show all these occurences, but only the ones the user is allowed to see. Therfore we made an additional association (TO_MY_DO) to the DO using an association class - we cannot filter on some attributes, the filter conditions are located elsewhere (depending on the host-BO).

In the RESOLVE method we read all the occurences (RETRIEVE_BY_ASSOCIATION) with the standard asscociation TO_DO and filter the ones we need.

This works perfectly in BOBT, so this reasoning is correct, we think.

But once we start wiring in the FPM/FBI, we cannot use this association to make the binding. We only get the standard association TO_DO. Is there a reason why this does not work and what can we do about it?

When checking the BO (in BOBX) we see this error message: " Target Attributes are missing. Please check Persistent Structure (TO_MY_DO)". Has this anything to do with it? And how can we solve this?
We developed the BO in BOBX. When looking at it in Eclipse, we can't maintain this association. And we can't create one of this type either: " Association target node cannot be a dependent object node".

Thanks for helping.

The error in BOBX is corrected by SAP in Note 3036923.
