How to create a new SAP 3D Visual Enterprise Viewer Search Query and use this as a new Visual Analytics Function for SAP ECTR.

Relevant configuration-files:
<ECTR_INSTDIR>\addons\sapvev\customize\config\default.txt
<ECTR_INSTDIR>\customize\dictionary\<language>\customer.txt

Relevant standard scripts:
<ECTR_INSTDIR>\addons\sapvev\customize\scripts\...

 

  • Define attributes which are relevant for Visual Anaytics
    1. Open default.txt
    2. Define attributes

Example for Status and User from DRAW and Materialtype from MARA
plm.viewer.transfer.properties=DRAW-24;DRAW-7;MARA-MARA-MTART

Example for all attributes from DRAW and MARA
plm.viewer.transfer.properties=DRAW-*;MARA-*

 

  • Create a new query in SAP 3D Visual Enterprise Viewer (VEV)
  1. Create a Search Query in VEV
  2. Define Metadata for Filter
  3. Select relevant Metadata (e.g. Status)
  4. Add Action and additional Statements
    (here we make a coloration for all released “FR” documents in green and for all other documents in pink)
  5. Save Query (here XXX.rhq)
    Save Query as a new rhq-file under the relvant path for standard scripts.
  • Create new function in the Menu for the Query
  1. Open default.txt

  2. Cretae a new entry for the new function in the following preference:
    plm.viewer.popupmenu

    New entry:
    fnc.execute.visual.enterprise.query(XXX.rhq)

  • Define a dictionary key for the new function
  1. Open customer.txt
  2. Add a new entry:
    fnc.execute.visual.enterprise.query(XXX.rhq) = New Function XXX

  • Save all changes in the files and restart SAP ECTR

 

Result is a new Visual Analytics Function in the SAP 3D VEV menu:
