Extend ECTR with customer specific generic objects

Since ECTR 5.1.14 / ECTR 510 SP14 / S4ECTR 100 SP10 it is possible to enhance ECTR with customer specific generic objects.
Since ECTR 5.2.3 / ECTR 520 SP03 / S4ECTR 110 SP03 the generic framework has been enhanced with further features. Use the page history to see the differences.
S/4 systems: Please take care that note 2947857 is installed before you start.

Backend

In order to enable support of Customer Objects in the SAP ECTR BADI /DSCSAG/PLM_OBJ_DETAILS shall be implemented.

BADI interface /DSCSAG/IF_PLM_OBJ_DETAILS consists of two methods:

Method	Description
GET_OBJ_CONFIG	Method to provide Customer Object Name and Customer Object details Structure name
GET_OBJ_DETAILS_GEN	ECTR 510: Method to provide Customer Object details to SAP ECTR.
GET_OBJ_DETAILS_GEN2	S4ECTR 110 / ECTR 520: Method to provide Customer Object details to SAP ECTR.
GET_OBJ_PREVIEW_DOC	Method to provide a generic object preview document for this object.
GENERIC_DROPHANDLER	Method to provide the logic for objects dropped on this generic object.
GET_OBJ_LONGTEXT	Method to provide a longtext for this generic object.

It also will be needed to create Data Dictionary structure for the Customer Object Details.

In this example we create an object for the "Material product version" "DE: Material Fertigungsversion":

Start with SE18 and implement the BAdI:

Object Type

The string of the object type has to be defined in backend.

If there exists no official BOR-Object for the object type the customer shall use a "Z" or "Y"-Prefix for a customer specific object type.

In the example we are using here the <OBJECT_TYPE> is "PRODVERS".

Object Key

Maximum length of 50 (EHP8), 90 (S/4). Upper case values only!

BAdI Methode GET_OBJ_CONFIG

The purpose of this method is to let SAP ECTR know that some extra Customer Object has been introduced and it configuration provided in this BADI method implementation.

This achieved via adding extra line to the table parameter ET_STRUCT_MAPPING (‘Changing’).

The structure of this extra line - /DSCSAG/OBJ_TYPE_STRUCT_S - has fields OBJECT_TYPE and OBJECT_STRUCTURE, both should be filled, see screenshot and code snippet below for coding example:

/DSCSAG/IF_PLM_OBJ_DETAILS~GET_OBJ_CONFIG

method /DSCSAG/IF_PLM_OBJ_DETAILS~GET_OBJ_CONFIG.

* Define the table "MKAL" as the basic data for the type "PRODVERS"

  FIELD-SYMBOLS:  <ls_struct_mapping>    TYPE /dscsag/obj_type_struct_s.

  READ TABLE et_struct_mapping  TRANSPORTING NO FIELDS WITH KEY object_type =  'PRODVERS'.
  IF sy-subrc <> 0.
    APPEND INITIAL LINE TO et_struct_mapping  ASSIGNING <ls_struct_mapping>.
    <ls_struct_mapping>-object_type  =  'PRODVERS'.
    <ls_struct_mapping>-object_structure = 'MKAL'.
  ENDIF.

endmethod.

Generic Object type = Field ET_STRUCT_MAPPING-OBJECT_TYPE

Generic Object Details Structure = ET_STRUCT_MAPPING-OBJECT_STRUCTURE

BAdI Method GET_OBJ_DETAILS_GEN / GET_OBJ_DETAILS_GEN

Purpose of this method to feed SAP ECTR with the Generic Object Details.

Method receives input table IT_OBJECTS filled by ECTR with Generic Object keys, then Generic Object details are read with BAdI specific logic and finally method returns Generic Object details to the ECTR via flat output table ET_OBJECT_DATA.

Next fields filled by ECTR in the Input table IT_OBJECTS:

DOKOB - Generic Object Type name;
OBJKY - Generic Object Key; (upper case values only!)
TAB_INDEX - Unique Index of the Generic Object (must be the same in the output ET_OBJECT_DATA).

Following fields are expected by ECTR to be filled by BAdI specific logic in the output ET_OBJECT_DATA:

TAB_INDEX – Unique Index of the Customer Object (should correspond to the input IT_OBJECTS).
LINE_INDEX - Line number in the case when fieldvalue longer than VALUE (not in GET_OBJ_DETAILS_GEN2)
FIELDNAME - Name of the field from the Customer Object Details Structure;
VALUE - Value of the according field of the Customer Object Details Structure;

Output table ET_OBJ_SYSTEM_STATUS - reserved for future developments.

BAdI Method GET_OBJ_PREVIEW_DOC

Purpose of this method to return a document containing a preview original for this generic object.
Method receives input table CT_OBJECTS filled by ECTR with Generic Object keys, then in table CT_PREVIEW_DIR the documents containing the previews have to be returned. See FM /DSCSAG/OBJ_GET_PREVIEW_DOC for futher details.
Example Coding see: Class /DSCSAG/CL_PLM_OBJ_INSTANCES

BAdI Method GENERIC_DROPHANDLER

Purpose of this method is to provide the logic for objects dropped on this generic object.

You have to provide the logic now to create this links in Backend for these objects.
The table IT_OBJECTS_LINK_DEL contains objects which should be removed from IS_TARGET_OBJECT.
Example Coding see: Class /DSCSAG/CL_OBJ_DETAILS_PLM_CR

BAdI Method GET_OBJ_LONGTEXT

Purpose of this method is to provide a longtext for this generic object.
Method receives input table IT_OBJECTS filled by ECTR with Generic Object keys, then the tables ET_LONGTEXT and ET_CATEGORY has to be filled.
Example Coding see: Class /DSCSAG/CL_OBJ_DETAILS_PLM_CR
